    One thing to make clear...I am no Thai food expert, so it's hard for me to critique the food on quality however, this is still my experience. I took my wife here...they seem to close really early, like mid-afternoon early. We got there right at closing time however they still took our orders, so kudos to them. My wife and I really weren't too sure on the food so we asked the waitress and we ordered based off her recommendations. We both ordered noodle bases dishes...did they taste how they're supposed to? Honestly not sure... however the cook on the pasta was perfect. The noodles didn't taste bland and they had good consistency. The beef that accompanied the noodles was nicely seasoned. The shining star on the menu which deserves 5 stars on its own was the fried banana. My wife had an urge for a dessert...and we decided to try out the fried banana...DYNAMITE. It was paired with ice cream...it was a perfect combination of sweet with some tartness, not to mention the contrast between the hot and cold of the ice cream with the banana. I told my wife I would come back just to have dessert any day of the week... If you haven't eaten Thai before but want to try it...this place is a definite must...right along with their fried banana dessert. Enjoy!

    It was my first time visiting and it won't be my last! The restaurant is small but has a nice vibe to it. The server was quick to take our orders and very attentive too! I went with their N3. Chicken Pad Sew Iew, chili level 2. They offer other options such as beef, shrimp, tofu and pork. I got chili level 2 and personally I couldn't even taste it, so I'll go for level 3 next time. The pad sew iew consisted of stir fried flat rice noodles with vegetables, egg, and sweet soy sauce. I hadn't had rice noodles before but man were they delicious! They have a variety of options, I suggest checking out their website before you go in case you want to ask questions when ordering.

    Food is great, but the portions are terrible. Service is good, but the "non-cash adjustment" will just come out of the tip, if I do tip given they do that. The inside of the place is nice enough. Delicious food though, if you don't mind over paying at bit.....enjoy! My photos show the size of their very small spring rolls and wontons. Too small for the price but are delicious. You'll see how much I paid for everything. I probably won't be back given the price and portions.

    This place offers amazing dishes! One of my favorites is the TOM YUM soup. I first had it in Thailand and fell in love with it. I've since tried other plates and they have all been delicious. It's a nice and quiet environment with a super friendly, and helpful staff.

    Red Curry

    Food has no flavor and curry dishes don't have sauce (according to Alex the server), Ordered Tom Kha Soup with chicken and the broth tasted like water. My Red curry had no curry sauce/gravy. The staff could not offer compensation for the two dishes and we ordered 5 dishes an 2 spring rolls. The spring rolls were good despite being cold and having to be heated and the Pad Kee Mao not much flavor either but better than the soup or dry Red curry dish. The portions were much smaller than expected I almost thought I was given a lunch portion but that is not what I was upset about. If a customer is not satisfied always try to make it right. I was told, "We will let your grievances be known" I asked about offering to refund two dishes (Tom Kha Soup and the Red Curry) was told they couldn't authorize. The owner is at a nursing conference and won't be back till next week and they will reply to me when they can. I also asked if they could just offer to remake and that also was not an option as Alex said that he checked the food and it was prepared as it should be and everyone has different tastes buds. I explained to Alex I've eaten Thai in many places and this just didn't taste good Disappointing

    Very nice Thai food. Medium/ small restaurant that is friendly and relaxing . I had the beef Pad Se Lew which is: stir-fried flat rice noodles with vegetables, egg and sweet soy sauce. Great ingredients perfectly cooked. Thai iced tea and Mango Sticky Rice also good. A great place to eat. Recommended.

    I had never ate at this place before. At the urging of the McAllen Chamber Of Commerce, I order Shrimp Pad Thai for lunch. The portions were very generous, very delicious, and quite tasteful. Price was very reasonable. Right now only to go order are available.

    Well I searched a healthy option on yelp and Thai Red appeared. We came in, lovely set up. UNFORTUNATELY, the food was NOOOO BUENO! My partner ordered a pasta (she didn't want healthy, lol) It was awful it tasted like Campbell's soup. I honestly think they poured my left over Tom Yum broth in her pasta. It was absolutely disgusting and we asked for some more spices it definitely didn't help at all. I am not one to put salt on my meal but mine was kinda flavorless as well. Also SOGGY RICE and an overwhelming amount of tomato but lack of mushrooms. Service absolutely mediocre. Sat in our dirty dishes and napkins the whole time. We won't be back. WORST $40 bucks ever spent on tasteless soggy food.

    Decent restaurant for Thai in the Valley. Flavor not what I'm used to, but that's okay. Had Tom yum soup and it was more spicy than flavorful....I wasn't given an option for spice level. Had the dumplings and satay for appetizers and again wasn't overall thrilled by flavor. Place was clean, waitstaff were attentive, but probably would not come back again as it just didn't connect with my tastebuds.

    Always good food here. Great lunch spot too. The pad thai isn't my favorite but the curries and other noodle dishes are great.

    This was a great date night location! The lounge was very beautifully decorated from the red carpet…read moreentrance to the seating at the bar. A James Bond kind of theme, dark, mysterious and sexy. We made reservations and received a call for confirmation. As we sat at the bar, we were served by the bartender, Diamond who was helpful, attentive and willing to answer questions. The three different martinis on Happy Hour menu were excellent, especially the espresso and dirty martini. The empanadas were filled with great flavors of chicken and cheese. The Bond fries we recommend, fries topped with caramelized onions, animal dressing and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. The spiced mixed nuts, were okay. The charcuterie board was filled with 4 different meats, 4 different cheeses, olives, tomatoes and toast. If any constructive criticism, I would put a few crackers on the board, however it was a great treat! We will be back. Things to be aware, you need a reservation and there is a dress code.

    Drinks and ambiance are amazing, cost of drinks are like Vegas prices which is wild since this is…read morethe valley, but it is a really nice upscale, romantic and chill place to go. You do have to have reservations so don't just walk up they will not allow you in just with anyone, which is good because it keeps the downtown kids out, older, more mature and professional adults! Nice place!! Great for a girls night out as well!!

    A bartender named Noe was rude. I noticed he was throwing away my buddy beer and his response was…read morewhen I told him why you're taking it. He said I'm I babysitting my buddies beer.

Like someone took all the 80s stuff and put it in this place to store... and then someone turned it into a bar. So it's actually pretty rad, if overstimulating. You can play OG nintendo here, gaze upon the glowing face of madonna splashed on the walls or ogle the hot 80s studs on posters in the bathroom. It's also a place that I think will get trashed really quickly if the valley has anything to do with hit. Regardless, it's at least different and not another restaurant/bar that people seem to favor in McA. I'd take Deloreans over chilis or Buffalo wild wings any day. The drink prices are steep -- especially for what you're receiving, it's really loud and when I was in there, it magically became club delorean at some point, with people packed in like sardines and dancing. It's worth a couple of visits but I think it would get really really old after a while.
