    Chang Thai Beer

    Incredibly fresh ingredients, beautifully harmonious flavors in every dish we tried. Excellent service! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very relaxing, spacious ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will come back again!

    This is in my top two Thai places in the area. Might actually be my top one! The food is very fresh and authentic, which I love because this place has really made Thai my comfort food. Service is great during the day time, not sure about evening time. This place can probably be a disco at night, they have a huge stage area which really peaks my interest.

    I've been in Houston now, for almost a Month and am trying different/exotic places to eat at. Houston is known for their diverse cuisine. If you're looking for some authentic Thai Food in the area, and if you're like me. I have my staple appetizers/food that I try at different places/restaurants. You should give this place a try. They have a wide selection of appetizers and you will not get disappointed. If you're like me, I love FRIED FOOD and APPETIZERS. Simple and easy to eat and no surprises. So, you would think, lol... So, here are some of the food that I tried here and what I think (in my own opinion) on how they tasted like. The Thai sausages are a little bit crispy on the outside but juicy in the inside. Thai Beef Jerky, I was a little skeptical because they can be a little tough, chewy and dry. But, this one is tender and juicy as well. Thai Crispy wings are a little bit breaded. Crispy and juicy at the same time. By the way. I always pair my sausage and beef jerky with sticky rice. So, don't forget to order sticky rice on the side. The last one is called Nam Khao Tod. It's a combination of crushed rice w/cilantro, lime juice, peanuts, crispy pork skin seasoned with spices. (This can be really spicy. Make sure you let them know how spicy or mild you want it to be) I learned the hard way, I guess as you get older, your heat tolerance goes down. Over all, the food here is great. Not to mention, the waiters are very nice, friendly and patient. Will definitely come back again the next time I'm in town.

    My sister took me here for my birthday lunch, what a wonderful experience! From the minute we walked in through the door we were greeted by a friendly face. This food was wonderful on the palate, the service was equally as wonderful. We both had the Thai Iced Tea, very refreshing, I had the Hawaiian fried rice with shrimp, medium spicy I will be coming back, one of my new favorites!

    Authentic Khmer food. Salar machu kreung is on point. Salad is on point. Beef and bahok sauce is good also. Im impressed first time here. Remind me of back home in california.

    Tofu pad thai

    Came here during lunchtime and I should've seen the red flag. I was the only customer at the restaurant. Thar says a lot. I gave them the benefit of a doubt and try it anyway. I ordered off the lunch menu and got tofu pad Thai. When the food came out instantly I knew it didn't look fresh. The pad Thai looks like it was already made and reheated. Base on the texture the noodles were very soft almost mushy. I ate it anyway since I was there. The guy never brought out my soup thats suppose to come with all lunch order. When it was time to get the bill the guy ask if everything is ok and when I asked how come I didn't get the soup he said that's for lunch menu and if I wanted the soup. I said yes, I ordered off the lunch menu so yes I want it to go since I was done. After I got my bill I notice he did a customize amount and charged me extra for the soup. All in all this place isn't that great and I won't be returning.

    Seating area and some kind of event room.

    Stopped by this place on the way back from the airport. We arrived around 6pm and we were the only ones there. I ordered shrimp and chicken fresh spring rolls, Pad Wood Sen and Tom Kha soup. The first two were tasty but the Tom Kha was completely off in flavor. It had a very dominant tomato taste. The coconut, ginger, and lemongrass flavors were practically non-existent which is not usual for this dish. It almost tasted like Chicken Tortilla Soup which was odd. I just did not enjoy it. Besides that, the waiter was nice and the food was out promptly but I just was not impressed enough to make a trip back.

    I finally got to eat here after passing it so many times! I brought my sister on her birthday and we enjoyed the lunch specials! I ordered chicken pad Thai and she ordered the Pineapple fried rice...regular enough but super tasty! We also ordered Thai iced tea which was so good and caffeinated! I'm definitely going to come back to try more stuff. I just had to get my thai fix!

    Legit Thai food - only around 9 tables and then two aisles of Thai Grocery Store. Flavors are as…read moregood as I've had anywhere although I haven't been to Thailand. We had to order take out on a Friday night because it was 10 mins before closing (9pm on Fridays) and they processed the order incredibly fast. All tables were full when we picked up so I'm sure busy nights will be a bit of a wait to get in. We asked for "medium" spice but the receipt had been defaulted to "mild" thank god. It was still a decent amount of spice and any more I would have probably been sweating like crazy. So I would recommend starting off with mild and go from there unless you are a glutton for punishing spice. Their mild seems to be more like medium / hot at an Americanized Thai joint. Pad Kee Mow with chopped chicken was delicious. Fresh crunchy green beans and bell peppers, onions and tomatoes perfectly cooked with the perfect spicy basil sauce. Noodles all had sauce on them. Large serving size and great price. We also got papaya salad which was just right and nice spice. I wish I could come here often and try everything else on the menu.

I wouldn't necessarily sit down here but if you want to you can. More of a grocery store than sit down restaurant. Khao soi gai: 7/10 This was so flavorful and delicious but definitely should have opted for the chicken instead of the soft shell crab I wasn't really a fan of the crab. Love the flavors and textures though. Definitely want to try with chicken and I recommend getting some rice on the side. Pad mama: 9/10 This had a really yummy vibrant flavor with a good amount of protein and leafy greens. Could be spicier I think the just gave us a random spice level. Overall really yummy and good portion for the prices but would love to retry with more spice in the dishes.

The service was fast and excellent, and I appreciated how attuned they were to my dietary restrictions. My only concern was the parking, which was difficult. However, a worker informed us that they have opened up a second lot for the weekend traffic, which is useful information. We ordered the drunken noodles vegan with tofu and red curry vegan. Both were hot, which is one level down from spicy. I personally did not find the food spicy and would consider leveling up next time. The noodles were perfectly soft, there was a good amount of tofu that was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The flavor was fantastic, and I liked how the dish was not too greasy, which is a problem I have run into at other establishments. The red curry was probably my favorite of the two dishes. It was warm, comforting, and tangy with the perfect blend of flavors. I was tempted to lick the bowl! We attempted to order roti ice cream for dessert, however there was miscommunication that led to just receiving vanilla ice cream. It was soft and creamy, but nothing special.

Soft music, white and red walls with Thai decor. Natural lighting during the day with warm interior lighting. It appears that there has been a makeover to the restaurant. I like the new look more. It seems more upscale in appearance. Dress code here is business casual. 4. Food - I've had their YELLOW CURRY WITH CHICKEN AND WHITE RICE. Curry is a bit sweet to my liking, but overall, it was a good meal. Will have to try other dishes next time. Food presentation is nicely plated. Not messy or sloppy. 5. Cleanliness - dining area is clean. The waitstaff keeps this place in tip top shape. The only complaint I have, although not exactly about cleanliness, I would suggest that management take a look at the lock in the men's restroom. Although it was locked, someone was able to enter still. SUMMARY This is a petite Thai cafe. Everything about this place was enjoyable. I would definitely come back to try again and will highly recommend this place.

For drinks, I got the Mekhong Mojito and it was sweet and refreshing! For appetizers, we got the crispy squid and the crispy wonton- crispy squid was good but if you had to choose between the two, get the crispy wonton! As for the entree, I ordered the Khao Soi with shrimp and my friend ordered the spicy red snapper. The curry broth with coconut milk was fragrant and with the toppings that came on the side (i.e. lime, onions/shallots, mustard greens, etc) enhanced the dish. The flat egg noodles were bouncy and the shrimp was solid. If you're stuck between choosing a curry dish and a noodle dish, get the best of both worlds and order the Khao Soi! As for my friend's spicy red snapper, I tried a bite and the spices/texture in the dish complimented the fish very well. For dessert, we ordered the classic Mango Sticky Rice! The mango was soft/sweet, the rice and sauce had that salty coconutty flavor. Aside from the delicious food, the interior is cozy and the waiters here were friendly and gave great advice on what to order. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and are craving good thai food!

It could easily reach that level. Our waitress, Ann, was incredibly kind, soft spoken, and welcoming. My friend Sherita suggested this restaurant after we left a Yelp office hour, and I'm so glad she did because it introduced me to something I never knew I needed: the salmon mango fried rice. It was absolutely amazing. I originally planned to take some home for my son to try, but it was so delicious that I finished every bite in one sitting. Sherita had visited earlier in the week and tonight shared that she arrived; right before I walked in which was 30 minutes before closing time, Jackie told her to hurry up and order, even though she already knew exactly what she wanted and didn't even need a menu. Jackie response was unprofessional and didn't even wait till the table guest got to the table, which was less than seconds since we all arrive at the same time, and left the same place. During our visit, Jackie never brought us water. A couple who was seated after us received water before we did. It took over 10 minutes for us to get water. Ann took great care of us, but anytime we wanted a refill, we had to ask. At one point my glass was completely empty. I noticed Jackie refilling the water glasses for a table of six, so I managed to get his attention. He looked directly at me, scanned the room, then stomped away all fast without acknowledging my request. Instead, he told Ann that we wanted water, and she graciously brought it over. Even at the end of our meal, Jackie stood behind the register while my friends waited to pay, yet another employee ended up taking their payment. His overall energy felt very cold and unwelcoming. My friend even joked that it was probably for the best that he didn't refill my water because of the energy he was carrying. As someone who believes water absorbs energy, I honestly agreed. I'm grateful Ann was the one who served us with such kindness. The restaurant itself has such a peaceful, zen atmosphere. The greenery outside and the warm lighting inside create a cozy neighborhood spot that I truly want to love and revisit with my son. Thank you , Sherita for introducing me and Aaliyah to this hidden gem. I completely understand why you visited twice in one week. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu, and hopefully next time the hospitality matches the quality of the food.
