    C7. Kao Soi
    Elaine M.

    Okay this strip is off the main crowded area of Old Denton and PGB, but nice alternative to the crazy parking and crowds. We were hungry for lunch so we ordered a duck noodle soup, spice level 1, I am weak, I know! The hubs went for it and got Kao Soi Pork with egg noodles spice level 5. I was really concerned if they use added MSG and luckily they do not!! We didn't wait long before the food came out. The duck noodle soup is HUGE, I loved the egg noodles and big chunks of duck meat. It's sooo good. I can't explain. I tried the Kao Soi Pork and already I know I am going to order that one next time! If you wanna have lunch AND be able to have a nice relaxed conversation, pick this hole in the wall! It's so worth it! No wait, plenty of spacious seating, and food comes out fast.

    E5. Crispy Sesame Honey Chicken

    Lovely quiet restaurant for Friday night dinner at 7:30 pm. Many diners already seated too. Friendly, fast service by the owners and authentic, fresh food that was super tasty. We ordered level 3 of 10 (mild) for Crispy Honey chicken. The order is huge and could easily feed four so we took half home for lunch and it comes with a huge order of white fluffy rice too. My husband ordered his drunken noodles with pork at level 4 and it was just right for him. Not too spicy but a good kick. The food presentation was also beautiful with attention to cutting flowers in the carrots and the blue and white trim china plates. The homegrown Thai hot peppers make the difference! Great value for the money. We will be back again

    Every thing was incredibly delicious!! They were sold out of their chicken curry puffs, but if it was anywhere near as good as the taro puff pastry then I completely understand! The taro curry puffs were crispy, fluffy, and the filling was so good. The duck fried rice was amazing, the rice was flavorful & the duck just melts in your mouth. I will definitely be returning soon!

    Owners are really nice and accommodating to the customers. They're really sweet and give good service. The food tastes pretty authentic, and their drinks suit my sweet tastebuds very well. This is such a hole in the wall restaurant that is slept on. I've come here occasionally for 8 years, and the food never misses.

    Calamari
    Paula C.

    This is hands-down my favorite Thai restaurant in Carrollton, and I'm a regular for a reason. The red curry is seriously delicious--creamy, rich, and packed with veggies and your choice of protein. They don't hold back on the spice or the portions, so every bite is loaded with flavor. I also love the ample veggie options, perfect for when I want something lighter but still satisfying. The calamari is another standout--thick, crunchy, and cooked to perfection. The staff is always friendly, adding to the welcoming vibe. It's tucked away in an unassuming strip mall, but don't let that fool you--this place is a total gem. Whether it's curry, appetizers, or classic Thai dishes, they nail it every time!

    Nam with crispy rice
    David L.

    Absolutely love this place for some authentic Thai eats!! It's an awesome restaurant in the middle of a random Carrollton strip mall. Service is impeccable and quality of food is honestly some of the best Thai food in Dallas. Food: + Nam with crispy rice was a first for me and truly excellent. Came as a recommendation from the owner. + Kao soi was yummy + Kids fried rice was good + Papaya salad had a perfect balance + Curled noodle soup was great too Gonna have to try out more items on the menu!

    Duck pad thai
    Johnny H.

    This local Thai eatery has not become my top Thai restaurant in Dallas! You know it's authentic because their flavors are amazing but they also bring on the heat (a few dishes I've tried had a minimum spice level). Of the few things I've tried so far, the notable dishes were the nam with crispy rice and duck pad thai. The crispy rice pairs amazingly well with the lettuce and sausage, almost like a lettuce wrap. It's tangy, spicy, and I just love the textured - so addictive! The pad Thai is also very good and they are generous with the amount of duck they give. The duck was tender, not dry, and the skin was very crispy. Service can be a little slow since it's a mom and pop shop but I think the food and flavors make up for it.

    Taro Curry Puff
    ravi c.

    We were here on thursday night dinner on Rainy/foggy day! There were couple of tables occupied we were asked to sit ourselves where ever we wanted. Ordered Taro Curry, Pineapple fried rice with chicken, Pineapple fried rice with tofu and drunken noodles with no spice! We asked what are the spice levels and waitress said they have spice levels 1-10, anything over 5 is thai hot levels. So we ordered spice level 5 for the fried rice! Waitress stopped by after few and said they did not have flat noodles so we ordered kids fried rice! We received the fried rice before the appetizers. We had to remind them about the appetizer. Pineapple fried rice lacked flavor, spice level 5 is more like 2. Quantity was pretty good but lack flavor made it not enjoyable. Kids found their fried rice to be ok! Taro curry puffs were very good, although I did not see any curry flavor, not sure why they even call it that. Overall we were disappointed with the food, we had high hopes based on the previous reviews, may be not their best night!

    The service here is a little slow because it's one person whose running the whole place. The food itself is phenomenal. My favorite was the Spicy Basil Catfish. The exterior of it is wonderfully crispy and the spicy sauce is friggn addicting. My husband attacked the garlicky riblets which were rich and super tender. I do recommend this place if you aren't in a rush. It's a local mom and pop shop that serves amazing authentic Thai dishes.

    N1. Pad Thai with Tofu
    Stephanie C.

    Had a wonderful dinner this evening! Our first time here, we will definitely be back. Service was great and food was really good. Everything seemed incredibly fresh and was plated very nicely. Great overall experience!

    SL1. Thai Papaya Salad
    Amy Y.

    What a find! Everything was super tasty, particularly the soft shell crab & papaya salad. They have a 1-10 scale for spiciness & it's no joke, so watch out. Service was great as well!

    Stir fry with chicken. I had asked for the other half to go since it's a big portion.
    Carin G.

    Food is amazing and the customer service is also great. You can order in advance too if you want takeout. The vibe of the environment is calm and soothing with water running from the fountain.

    Always friendly service and excellent food. Just note that their 3 star spicy is about a four at other Thai restaurants.

    Is this place Vegan friendly?

    To be honest I believe it should be. Sorry, I normally order vegetarian when I need more veggies 🤗. They have asked if I would like egg or not.

    We went around 12:30pm and there were people waiting. The lady that checked us in said it was a 30…read moreminute wait with 2 parties ahead of us. As we were waiting, we noticed that 4-5 tables were done eating and paid their bills. All got up and left, the staff quickly cleaned the tables. The cleaned tables were empty for another 15 minutes. The lady that took our names down took a while to call the next customers. Seems like we were waiting just to wait...she sat one party down and waited another 10 minute to sit the next group... anyways, after we waited for a good 40 minutes, we were finally called to be seated. Sat down and was immediately served with water and took our order down. Time for the food review: Chicken popcorn - nice crisp and texture, but lacking flavor. Felt like it needed a dipping sauce. Pork lard rice - disappointing, bland Pork intestine with green mustard - this dish was okay.. Crispy garlic salted fish - fish was nicely fried and flavor was good. Probably the best dish so far Crispy pork chop - this is the reason why we came here.. we wanted to find a dish like May Ice cream. Unfortunately, this was a huge disappointment. The pork chop was extremely salted. From the skin to the pork itself. Walnut shrimp - this dish was foul. Who puts sprinkles on the side?! Tasted like I was eating an ice cream shop. The shrimp was also dry. Overall, not worth going and waiting. Food was lacking.

    FYI the old reviews are for a previous restaurant or different location, unsure. This review is for…read moreImperial Feast which opened August 2025 next to z.Tao in Plano. Came during the soft opening in September 2025 with excited expectations based on what we've heard, hoping to find a new go to Taiwanese spot. Unfortunately we didn't find what we were looking for. I admit this was the soft opening and things may improve, and for their sake I hope they do. Biggest issues for us were lack of flavor in the meat and multiple proteins being overcooked. The sauces they used had the flavor but it seems like the meat just wasn't given the time to marinate because the meat itself was bland. That coupled with proteins being a bit dry from being overcooked and you don't have a good combo. If they can tweak their prep process to let the meat marinate then it would solve most of the problems though. The best dish was the fried pork chop rice by far. A bit on the sweeter side so it just depends on how you like it. The bok choy it came with was basically raw though had more crunch than the pork chop. Service was also a mixed bag. The server was super nice and helped give us recs but it just seemed like they were still getting the hang of working in a restaurant. A glass of water got some food in it so the server took it away but they never brought us a new one. Again, soft opening so I give that some grace, but food has to be more on point for a new restaurant to make it. So all in all, there are definitely some kinks to work through for them. Normally I wouldn't write a review for soft opening but given that there are old reviews here plus food quality missed the mark more than I think it should've, I think people on Yelp should get a heads up.

    My family and I were doing a staycation in Frisco and didn't realize how early restaurants nearby…read moreclosed. Thank goodness for Highland Noodles! We arrived right as the kitchen was about to close, but they still graciously seated us and provided amazing, welcoming service. The restaurant was also incredibly clean. There is a QR code for the menu you scan with your phone. The food was fantastic across the board. The congee was pure comfort food, and the sesame balls were some of the absolute best I've ever had. They were served nice and warm, the filling wasn't overly sweet, and they weren't greasy at all like a lot of other places. I really liked how the soup dumplings all had individual foil wrappers - made it easy and mess free. Highly recommend!

The beef was so flavorful, and we loved it. So this time, we ordered it again. This time, we also tried the pork noodle soup. The pork was flavorful as well. It was pork belly, so the fat made the meat even more tender and savory. Both dishes were delicious! But of the two, we still liked the beef option better. The ordering process was completely digital. We scanned the menu code with our phones and then selected our dishes ourselves. There was very little "human" touch. I still prefer having a server come take our order, which also makes the tipping decision easier. Anyway, we enjoyed the food and will probably come back again.
