This place came highly recommended by my boyfriend who recently discovered it and has been ordering takeout from here. The restaurant is really nicely decorated inside and even has a full bar. We stopped by this past Sunday for an early Father's Day dinner and thankfully for us it was not super crowded. We ordered the crispy egg rolls to start and they were so good! Super crispy on the outside and soooo flavorful. I also ordered a lychee martini which was delicious and happened to be $2 off for happy hour. YASSSSS! For our entrees, I ordered the Pad See Ew with chicken, and my boyfriend got the Thai Drunken Noodles with chicken and beef. Both dishes were soooo good. We ordered them at a medium spice level, which was perfect for us. It definitely had my nose running a little but in a good way, not in an overwhelming way. My boyfriend's dad ordered his dish Thai spicy and even he struggled to finish it. This man can handle spice, so the fact that he was surprised says a lot. There's definitely a reason they warn you before ordering it that way! Overall, we had great service throughout our visit which was consistent with everything my boyfriend had told me beforehand. The staff was super friendly and attentive. Multiple people checked in with us to get refills, orders, make sure everything was ok, etc. One quick note on parking: the lot says paid parking but that only applies if you're there for more than two hours. For a normal meal, you should be totally fine. read more

Everything we ordered was good .. the sushi was okay ... the service was good .. we went around lunch time and got seated right away. The food came out quick and enough time to leave for the free parking limit in the parking lot. Fav: Drunken Noodles and the Tiger Cry Steak read more

I'm not usually a big Thai food fan and tend to gravitate towards other Asian cuisines, so it took me a while to try this place, but I'm glad I finally did. They have a raw bar with everything from oysters and sushi to even ceviche. Everything we tried was delicious, including the cocktails. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The restaurant is bright, clean, and modern has a nice patio. Sarah was our server and was incredibly friendly, as was the rest of the team. Will definitely be back. read more

This was my first time trying this place. We ended up going because they were open until 11, and there honestly weren't many spots still open after 10 in the area. We ordered everything to-go, and I attached a screenshot of what we got along with the prices. The teriyaki chicken was a little underwhelming for me and probably not something I'd order again. But I really liked the drunken noodles, they were flavorful and had a good level of spice without being too overpowering. My other favorite was the mango & sweet sticky rice, just best food to end the meal. The soup/curry was also very flavorful. The restaurant itself was really cute and had a more elevated vibe than I expected. I could definitely see it being a nice date spot. The employees were also really friendly and helpful when I asked for recommendations. read more

New-ish restaurant that is definitely still working out some kinks. The food overall was actually decent, but our overall experience was very off. The restaurant itself is pretty cute inside. The service and flow of the evening was off schedule from the start - slow at the host stand, slow to get menus / water once seated, strange rhythm of food and cocktails coming out. Background music cutting in and out. Bathroom was not clean. Those are just a few observations. I think part of the issue is they seemed short staffed, not even having a dedicated bar tender, etc. Food: we got the appetizer sampler and like their money balls the best. Their spicy salmon rolls were decent. There oysters were ok. Food came out at very delayed increments. read more

Parking is not free and in small shopping center. Restaurant was empty of patrons. Restaurant lacked decorations and vibes, felt like white sterile hospital. Food was just ok, nothing special. Nicely presented but lacked taste. I was not a fan of the food, we just ate apps and asked for check. Won't be returning. read more

We ordered takeout- The nigiri salmon, sushi roll & calamari were all really good! But the curries and pad thai were in our opinion all a bit too sweet. I expect some sweetness but all 3 entrees were sweeter than what I'm used to. Might just be a matter of preference. Also the pad thai lacked bean sprouts for that nice fresh crunch. read more

Staff was very nice and accommodating!!! Me and my friends ordered a variety of dishes and shared family style. My favorite noodle dishes were the khao soi and the pad see ew. My friend also ordered a Thai tea martini which was very yummy and masked the alcohol flavor well. I ordered a blue fin tuna and otoro crudo which had good flavor but I think I'd rather order their Thai dishes. The east coast oysters were garnished with their sauce, herbs, and garlic/onion crisps and it was pretty yummy. Our waiter brought me a free lychee martini for my birthday!!!! Questionable music taste... they were playing like 2018-2020 TikTok songs and it didn't rlly fit the vibe lol read more

Solid four stars. I was shocked to see the Thai spice was no longer there. I guess it's been a long time since I've eaten off 19th St. in the Heights. I noticed the name change on Google, but I didn't realize Google had the old location still active and that they didn't update to let us know that it's been replaced by Thai Tapas. Would that being said I'm glad we stopped in and gave it a try anyway. Food: I was impressed with the Pad Thai . It was exceptionally good. My girls dish was good as well. I can't remember what she had, though. I think it was drunken noodles. I don't recall, but it was good. Everything was made fresh and full of flavor. I will definitely come back and try their pad Thai again. The customer service is great. The decor on the inside is nice. I will definitely come back and try their food again. It's something different, it's a Japanese. I guess Thai fusion mix, but it works. Great job team. read more

This spot has had a couple of Thai restaurants come and go, but the new ownership at Thai Tapas seems to have finally gotten it right. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. It's definitely a step up from the previous places in the same space. The portions weren't huge but still filling. The tom yum tasted more like a Vietnamese-style hot and sour soup than a traditional tom yum, but it was still tasty. The tom kha was decent, though I've had better elsewhere. The drunken noodles were moist, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The pad woon sen was very flavorful as well. All the dishes had generous portions of meat. The service was friendly, attentive, and quick. The decor was modern and stylish. I'll definitely be back to try some more dishes. read more

Thai Tapas (Thai Japanese Sushi Bar) has Thai plates and sushi rolls, nigiri, and more. Thai Tapas is located near our home and is one of our favorite Thai places near us. We particularly like the pad see ew, tom yum soup, oysters, and panang curry. We have gotten the spice levels two to four before, and the levels 2-3 are easy to handle. The level four has a kick to it, and an especially extra kick for the panang curry and papaya salad, but not too bad on the other dishes. We have tried a sushi roll once, but honestly, it was a pass. I would just get the Thai dishes. I got the tom yum soup when I was feeling a bit sick, and it was perfect. The tom yum was a good balance between sweet and sour. The panang curry is sweet and spicy and comes with a good amount of rice. The pad see ew and pad Thai are consistent. The osyters come with this thick, sweet and spicy sauce, which goes well on top of the oysters. Service was efficient and very nice every time I have visited, and there is plenty of free parking (for two hours). Thai Tapas has a variety of dishes and is one if my go-to for Thai food in the Heights. read more

The inside is very nice. Great bar. Lovely tables. The service was fast. Staff were very nice. We went on a holiday and it had a sizable crowd. The food was great. The beef fried rice could of have had more flavor, but was overall good. The chicken satay was good. The branzino was really good. The spice level is odd. We asked for a 3/5 and it was not spicy at all. Not like a oh I have a high tolerance for spicy, but not spicy at all. We asked for the chili paste and stuff to make it spicy. But I'd come back. It was good. read more

I stopped into Thai Tapas for lunch and was blown away. I had the oysters which were out originally but midday through my silken shrimp appetizer, they got a fresh delivery -- with the Thai chili paste and seafood sauce, these may be the best oysters I've ever had! Order at least 6!!!! I also got the pad Thai with chicken and medium spice (I could've done spicy or Thai hot), it was lunch so it came with hot & sour soup and everything was delicious. The service was wonderful and the decor inside is beautiful but unfortunately it was a small crowd, dinner may be different! Parking was easy out front free for 2 hrs with the app. I may have found my Thai/Sushi home in the Heights. read more

I have been eating at this restaurant ever since it was Thai spice, they have consistently tried to upgrade the restaurant and each time it seems to get further and further away from being the wonderful restaurant that it was as Thai Spice), the service was great as always the food seemed a bit milder and not as flavorful as I remember it the portions seemed smaller for their lunch specials, especially the soup that comes with lunch, on the other hand, they've definitely made the inside of the restaurant look amazing, it's not someplace that I will continue to go to on a regular basis, but I think that people will like it so give it a shot and share your experiences read more

Thai Tapas - First time back since the remodel - Thai Near Me - Houston, Texas

I decided to try this place out based on an influencer's post. First call out is the parking is free for 2 hours then $2 after for up to 12 hours. Sort of weird for the type of lot but ok. Next the look of the restaurant is so chic and elegant. Love the layout. It's highly recommended to make reservations because it gets packed really quick. Service is still a bit slow as they are new. Sooo the drinks were not it. We got 2 drinks and both didn't have any alcoholic in there even after asking about the first one. Food is really good but they forgot to add my protein and had to come back to add it. I'll say it's likely I will not visit again as my visit was a bit awkward. read more

I went to Thai Tapas in the Heights on a Saturday evening with my wife and our 20-month-old toddler. We didn't have a reservation, but we were still able to get a table right away. They had high chairs available and service was friendly and prompt. We were seated and able to order quickly. Parking is free for two hours in the shared lot with neighboring businesses in the strip mall. According to their website, Thai Tapas combines the bold, vibrant flavors of Thailand with the artistry of Japanese cuisine, focusing on small plates, shareable dishes, and a full bar. The menu covers everything from Thai street food to premium sushi and sashimi. [KID'S MENU] +Kid Flat Noodle for $10.99 - Stir-fried flat rice noodles with chicken, egg, carrots, and broccoli in a kid-friendly savory sauce. It came out not too hot, which was great for feeding a toddler. Not spicy, flavorful enough, and my son ate it with no issue. Very greasy and messy though, so bring wipes if ordering this. - 4/5 [COCKTAILS] +Smoky Old Fashioned for $15 - Just okay. A little harsh and not smooth. - 2.5/5 [APPETIZERS] +Siam Sear Sake (Salmon) for $14.99 - Premium Scottish salmon, lightly torched with Thai chili ponzu. The flavor was fine, but the salmon wasn't as melty as I'd hoped. Wouldn't order again. - 3/5 [SALAD] +Siam Papaya Salad for $12.99 - Shredded green papaya and carrot with tomato, garlic, and green beans in traditional Thai dressing. A solid version. - 4/5 [FRIED RICE DISHES] +Crab Fried Rice for $19.99 - Jasmine rice stir-fried with crab claw meat, egg, garlic, and onion, topped with lump crab and white pepper. Decent, but not standout. - 3.5/5 [STIR-FRIED DISHES] +Pepper Garlic (Pad Kra Tiem) for $13.99 - Wok-seared chicken with garlic, black pepper, and light brown sauce over carrots and broccoli. This was cold and disappointing. I would avoid their stir-fried dishes. - 2/5 [DESSERTS] +Mango & Sweet Sticky Rice for $9.99 - Mango with sticky rice, coconut drizzle, and mung beans. Portion was small, not good, and they mistakenly brought it first, then left it sitting until the end. Definitely skip. - 2/5 Overall, Thai Tapas is new and has potential, but the food feels inconsistent and needs work. Service was good, the atmosphere is fine, but I wouldn't see myself returning. read more

Lovely ambiance promised a wonderful experience: nice sized tables with marble tops, chic gold toned lamps and cutlery, and comfy seating. A friendly server greeted us promptly, took our drink order, and made some recommendations. A trainee stopped by to take our appetizer order, and my husband ordered grilled calamari from the specials. Then things took a less pleasant turn; a new server took over our table; watching further interactions between the two, I suspected a hostile takeover. We received the starter-fried instead of grilled. He asked for spice level on our soups (1-5) we ordered a 2 & a 3. My hubby and I both like some spice - jalapeños, Thai peppers, scotch bonnet - but our soups were too spicy to enjoy. We flagged down the waiter and asked for my husband's Pad Thai to be downgraded to a 1 spice level. Oysters came out- not huge but okay. My shrimp dumplings came out - again just okay. My spicy salmon roll could have come from HEB. Meanwhile my husband is still waiting for his meal. It finally appeared- good, but not amazing. At least it wasn't too hot to eat. Next time I'll go to our neighborhood Thai place, with less lovely ambiance, less drama, and better food. read more

I randomly came across a new Thai restaurant today, it's only been open for about a month. The place is a Thai Japanese Sushi & Bar. I went mainly to try the sushi , and it was really good -- fresh and tasty. If you like raw fish, you'll probably enjoy it, but even if you don't, they also have Thai dishes on the menu. Today I ordered the Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles), and it was really flavorful and nicely spicy . I'll definitely come back next time to try more Thai dishes. read more
