So the food was fine . No major issues I order the soft shrimp spring rolls and the pad woon seen level 4 spice. So the noodles were hot, fresh and spicy . They had plenty of sauce but were tad bit too salty for me . Which was no big deal . I still enjoyed them anyway. Shrimp spring rolls were fresh but I wasn't too fond of the sauce . The sauce was really thick and probably made with peanut butter . The place isn't mind blowing but there food is so far the best I had in the area . I love this other place downtown but they are so far from home I wanted to find a substitute close to my home . I would definitely order again probably not the spring rolls but the noodles were good . I'll just tell them less salt .. All the veggies were fresh . I absolutely love veggies so I really enjoyed the veggies in the spring roll and in the noodles. The young lady that was working was nice and sweet. Oh and I loved their Thai tea I had finished my first glass before my food came out so I had to order another . read more

Very friendly and the food was full of flavor. Been going here for 10+ years and it never disappoints. Chu Chee Chicken is a favorite but anything on the menu is worth a try. Please go and support this wonderful local business! read more

Everything is perfect. our waitress David was so kind and we had a great time. Comfort food with great taste.

I went there to dine in. was really nice. The service was fast and accurate. The food was great.

Drove past place and ended up circling back to get some rice. Really good basil Thai fried rice. This was a perfect side compliment for dinner. read more

Best red curry around this area bar none, highly recommend the chicken satay as well.

Tom yum was ammmmmmazing! I will typically measure a Thai restaurant on their Tom yum ( personal quirk) and Thai Lily nailed it! Many, many high quality dishes as well. read more

While the Pad Thai could have been a bit more moist, the food is excellent. You can order at different spice levels. I tried my friend's red curry where I could taste coconut milk and it was delicious. I'm going to venture out and try other dishes from now on. The corkage fee is $8 per bottle. The customer service was excellent. They brought a free coconut dessert with a candle to my friend celebrating her birthday. They were really nice and gave us small disposable plates for a cake we had brought. And they didn't charge extra for this. They were flexible and gave the eight of us separate checks. This is a delicious fairly priced Thai restaurant and you get seven percent cash back through the Yelp cash back program. Not too shabby! read more

great service, great food , it's always a great experience when I visit this place it's always a 100%

I stop and get lunch some days just make sure you call head, because everything seems cooked fresh.

Thai food, esta cómida es tan Fresca que no vas a parar de venir aquí, el local es muy bonito

We had the fried fish and Chinese broccoli and I loved it! For someone who is Thai, the most important part of the meal is the sauces. I like how they level the spices from 1-5. My meal was so satisfying in so many ways. I looked forward to coming here next time I'm in Houston. Service was great and friendly! read more

This was one of the Thai options on UberEATS so we decided to try it out due to the great reviews on Yelp. I hate to say this, but I wish we would've tried out another Thai restaurant offered on the app. One of the dishes we were looking forward to the most was the pad Thai. We were craving it sooo bad. Imagine being starving and wanting the taste of pad Thai, then when you taste it, it's such a let down. Sucks !! We got level four spicy and it wasn't all that spicy, despite the noodles being super red. The noodles were over cooked and extremely squishy. It also seemed like they skimped out on the egg and bean sprouts because there was barely any mixed in there. The flavor wasn't there either, it was just bland mush. Many of the reviews said the pad Thai was great so I'm a little confused. Maybe it was just a bad batch ? I've had pad Thai from places and they were a lot tastier. On the other hand, the chopped chicken basil was amazing ! It comes with a small side of jasmine rice. We got this in a level four spicy as well. Even though this and the pad Thai were the same spicy level, this was way more spicier. I'd say probably 3x more spicy. I really enjoyed the chicken. It had great flavor without being overly spicy. I'd definitely check it out. read more

Very tasty and tender food, I would recommend for everyone. I'll come again for sure!

Painfully Honest: Love this place, always come for dine-in. Service is not the best but the lady with the glasses (I'm guessing is the manager) shes AMAZING. Very attentive, she gives the best customer service. Small restaurant, clean, not very crowded. They have a bell at the table to ring in the server. I got up myself a few times to grab the utensils and such. Not a big deal for me. Bit pricey but the fried rice was worth the money best plate I had out of my bill. Food: Pineapple fried rice, extra spicy- This plate hits the perfect level of spice! Highly recommend 5/5 stars Papaya Salad- exactly what it was, usually has more variety of ingredients other than papaya and sauce. Recommend 2/5 stars Pad Thai, Combination meat- Decent, nicely seasoned. Nothing special. 4/5 stars read more

Always incredible food! Call in your delivery order so they don't lose 30% to 3rd party! Great yellow curry, pad Thai and spicy wings!

This is my go to delivery Thai place on side this of town! Food is good and consistent! We usually order: Green Curry - chicken/pork belly Yellow Curry - chicken Pad Thai - chicken Garlic/Basil Beef Chu Chee Chicken was also on my rotating order, however this last order I received, they changed the batter to a sweet/sour chicken versus the panko bread crumbs. For comparison, I think this place ranks second to Thai Gourmet. read more

I've been here a few times and I can honestly say that the food is delicious. The proportions are plentiful, and the food is seasoned to perfection. There are 5 levels of spicy to choose from. I usually get spicy level 2, but I think I'm going to move up to level 3 for a pinch more of spicy. My favorite dish is the Pad Thai with chicken and shrimp. There is plenty of chicken and the shrimp are large. Very tasty! There is a complimentary serving of soup, salad and a spring roll. Nice touch! I have one complaint, which is why I gave them 3 stars instead of 4 or 5. The customer service sucks! Each time I have gone for lunch the restaurant has been completely empty, so why do I have to always flag someone down for a refill of iced tea or extra napkins? This makes no sense to me. There are two youngsters that serve as host and waiter. They are very polite, but they seem to not care that a paying customer has entered the building. There's no "Hello, how are you doing today?" You walk in, sit down, they take your drink order and disappear until they come out with your drink and the complimentary items. Then, they take your order and disappear until they bring your food. After you get your food, there's no one coming to check on you, no drink refills, no extra lemons or limes unless you flag them down. Why am I chasing you when I'm the only one in the restaurant ordering food? When I was done eating, I had to flag someone down for the check. Man...the food is good but the customer service sucks! But because I really do love the food, I will be back. Hopefully, their customer service improves in the very near future. read more

I love this place! The staff is always very friendly and the Pad Thai is wonderful!! I will say that portion sizes are a little different if you order through DoorDash or another app. Honestly, I don't mind picking it up because I'd rather support a local business and the larger portion lasts me 2-3 meals. Whenever I am craving Thai food, this is my go-to place! read more

The spicy level of 3 sometimes is very spicy but sometimes is mild. Apparently they don't have a reliable way to control the spicy. The pad Thai is just so so. The Ching wing seems too dry. Overall 3/5 read more

Came here on Christmas Day! Yes lazy ol me did not cook anything. Great new they were open and busy for take out! Got seated right away however our seat was under a leaking AC. At first I saw a few drops on the table didn't think much of it thought it was just water. Then it fell on my hair! I told the waitress and she has no idea about it. Service was okay they kind of took a while with the food, ordering and bringing our check. They only had 3 tables that night. Seems Ike the back kitchen could be short staffed possibly. Food was excellent I got the curry very delicious 4/5 Pad Thai 4/5 had flavor a but in the sweeter side. And not enough mean sprouts like literally it was a pea size. Tom yum soup 5/5 this was the best spicy and just the right amount of sour! I do recommend read more

Coming here was wonderful wholesome experience. The people here really sweet here and make me feel like I'm not only a valued customer but also like I'm at home. I feel as if I walked into one of my aunts house and they ask me if I have eaten. If it wasn't for the bill it would feel like a family reunion. We started with the papaya salad Thai style. I asked about the other styles that state are upon request. When I asked they said that if you aren't use to the other styles you wouldn't like it. I asked and one of the styles were tiny fermented crabs that apparently smells terrible. As appetizing as that was I had to settle for the regular Thai style. Everything in the salad was fresh and delicious I'm just glad rotten crabs weren't in it. The red curry was amazing and delicious and I had it with some fried fish with garlic sauce. So good and succulent. The fish was piping hot literally out of the fryer, shake access oil, then tossed in sauced and served. I will be coming back to this place for sure. They won me over and I believe it's been the best Thai food I have had in Houston. read more

The food is amazingly good at this place but the staff needs to focus more on getting to go orders correct. This is the second time I have placed an order and they had it incorrect when I got to the restaurant. How do you mix up a curry with Tana's spicy fried rice when they are the only one who has it? This tremendously slows down the wait time for your food read more

What a pleasant surprise! I was hungry for Thai food last night so I checked out Yelp.com for the nearest Thai food restaurant. Thai Lily came up and many others but after reading the reviews, my wife and I decided to dine in at Thai Lily. Additionally, it was very close to the neighborhood so driving there was short and sweet. Lucky for us, it was not a busy night (Monday night) so we had time to engage the owner. She told us a lot about their food and made suggestions. We ordered the food that she recommended and we were impressed. We ordered the fried spring rolls and it was tasty and crunchy, just like what a fried spring roll should be. The sauce was a good compliment to the flavor. Also, we ordered the Pork Larb salad based on the owner's recommendation, pork fried rice and one of their signature noodle entrees. It was either the Pad se eaw or pad keemao with shrimp. It had lots of flavor and you could taste all of the vegetables mixed in with the noodles. We ate with gusto because the dishes were so delicious! We looked at the menu after dinner and even though I was full to the gills, I wanted to try the other dishes. That will just have to wait for next time. Well, the strip mall where it is located is probably not the most ideal mainly because the restaurant is tucked at the southwest corner of the mall. Parking is not a problem. However, once you are inside, it is well lit and tastefully decorated. The staff is very very friendly and will answer any questions you might have about the food. BTW, the staff/owner asked how spicy we wanted the food to be and we picked mild to medium and that's exactly what they gave us. What a wonderful treat it is to be able to pick the spiciness of your food.Thai food is generally spicy so being able to dial back the spiciness, the flavor of the food really comes out. We have found us a new regular restaurant to dine in when we want Thai food. We will definitely be back and will recommend this place to our friends. read more

This is a hidden gem! The food is sooo good and priced reasonably. Love the cheese rolls

I have the pad kee Mao here religiously, multiple times a week. I am really excited that this restaurant is so close to home and that their drunken noodles are amazing. I was terribly disappointed that they served me cold chicken spring rolls on my first visit. Not even luke warm. The microwave heated the ends but left the center cold. I don't want nuked spring rolls in a restaurant! And that was lunch time on a sunday! But for the five months I have been eating here, the food is consistently good. I have tried alot of thier menu items and they all are really good. Do yourself a favor, don't order chinese take out when you can have Thai here. read more

My niece suggested this place and so glad she did! Food and service was excellent! Thai beer, spring rolls, chicken curry were great! It felt a bit warm in there and asked to cool the place down and they did so immediately. So accommodating! Oh yeah, Thai Ice Tea is probably pretty amazing, my niece had two of them! If I lived here, I would frequent this place often! Great job you guys!!! Highly recommend! read more

Our usual go to take out/delivery Thai. Chicken satay and fried spring rolls are good - the peanut sauce is tasty and has the right mix of spicy, sweet, savoriness. Curries are a little on the sweet side but are super creamy and you can taylor the spiciness to your own personal preference (which is always a nice thing). Spiciness is from 1-5, we're into spicy and generally find the 3 to be just right. We always end up with left overs and notice that they seem to lose their heat a little bit on the second day. Pad Thai is decent, lots of chicken hidden away in the noodles, not a fan of their drunken noodle, and their tom yum is again on the sweet side but easily cut back down by a quick squeeze of lime. We've eaten in once or twice and the restaurant is clean, servers friendly and fast and the serving sizes just a little bit bigger than what you get when you order take away. We've tried a lot of take away places in the Energy Corridor area and so far this is our favorite by a mile. read more

The food is excellent as well as the service. We were a party of 3. For appetizer, we ordered crispy veggie rolls. We were impressed by how ungreasy and tasty these were. We ordered the steamed fish (see pic) which was very good. The server helped cutting it out to put some in each plate. We also ordered Cashew with large shrimp. It was very tasty. This came with white rice. Last order with noodle soup with chicken. What we loved about it was the leveled salt taste (not too salty, not too bland). Would certainly visit again. read more

We went for lunch as a group today. The restaurant only had 3 tables including us. Service was fine. The waiters gave us what we needed, nice people just didn't check up on us. We had to ask for extra water. The food was mediocre. Incomparable to other Thai s establishment in the area. We had salad, curry, pad Thai and pad ke mao. The egg rolls appetizer was really yummy. Everyone in our group like it. read more

I had Thai Lily for delivery with some friends. We had the cheese rolls, veggie spring rolls, chu chee chicken, pad Thai with shrimp, and green curry with chicken. It was kind of hit or miss. I wasn't a big fan of either type of roll...they were too soft and chewy on the outside instead of crunchy. The cheese rolls are basically just cream cheese in a fried wrapper...not that special. I did like the filling of the veggie rolls though. The chu chee chicken is pretty tasty! It's basically breaded chicken with a red curry type sauce poured over it. The green curry was tasty as well. I liked that they had eggplant in it. Compared to other Thai places, I feel like they're not as heavy with the spice. The curry was a level 4 and the chu chee was a level 3. The 4 had some kick to it, but the 3 did not. I'd probably go with a 4 or 5 if you like your food with noticeable heat. The pad Thai was ordered dry instead of moist, and I thought it was actually pretty tasty. I wasn't crazy about the shrimp, and they definitely only gave you a few for charging an extra $2 for them. It wasn't my favorite Thai food ever, but I'd eat the curry dishes or pad Thai again. read more

We came here for lunch and had a nice meal. The decor was nice and the restaurant had a cozy atmosphere. We were welcomed to choose our seat and were given our menus. Right off the bat, our server was attentive and gave off a positive attitude though he was a bit soft-spoken. We ordered our meal and didn't have to put up with a long wait. Our appetizers were served in a timely manner, but our entrees were the best part. Our Yellow Curry and Pad Thai were flavorful and plentiful. We left full and content. read more
