    Basil Fried Rice
    Likhitha c.

    I'm a huge fan of Thai cuisine and so is my family! We took my brother here for his 20th birthday, after I randomly stumbled upon this spot, and it absolutely exceeded our expectations. The food was delicious. I especially loved the Thai basil fried rice and the ambience was beautiful. The owners were incredibly humble and accommodating, making adjustments based on our dietary restrictions without any hesitation. Give it a try and thank me later

    I walked in right when it opened and was greeted by the cashier. I placed a togo order and it was ready in about 5 minutes! That was pretty quick! I thoroughly enjoyed the wontons. Crispy in the edges and great filling to dough ratio. I felt like the pad Thai could use a little more flavor. I still enjoyed it but it was just missing something. The store was located in a nice outdoor strip mall with plenty of parking. The restaurant itself is clean and pleasant.

    Tom Kha Shrimp

    This is a small family owned business serving authentic Thai food. And it's so good. I went just for soup this time. I ordered the Tom Kha soup with shrimp and white rice on the side for an appetizer. The flavor! Everything was so fresh and the shrimp were huge! I loved the tanginess and creaminess of the soup. I will definitely come back here for more delicious and authentic thai food.

    Pad See Ew with tofu
    Trish N.

    My sister and I were craving thai food and we saw one super close to us in the neighborhood. We placed an order for to go and it was done in 5-10 minutes! The portions were good for their pricing as well. They offer good lunch specials during the week too that I want to come back and try. The hot spice level was perfect for me. The pad see ew was so flavorful and the tofu had a nice crispiness to the outside but soft on the inside. I liked that it wasn't too oily either. The pad thai was a solid choice and the noodle portion was huge.

    Neighborhood charm with good service. Nestled between multi other restaurants (try the Jamaican spot next door). I have been wanting to try this place for a while, so it had been on my list. Happy to see the reviews are pretty solid. Seems like a great place to grab lunch, probably the main attraction. Came here for the first time with my family around 7p. The place was pretty dead, but it was a weekday evening, so maybe the crowd had left. I wasn't mad at this at all. Because it equaled fast and exclusive service. Service - was great, our lovely server Pam was kind, she had a grandma deminure, so sweet. Not sure if Pam is the owner, but I will find out more my next visit. All food came out hot and tasty. She gave us recd's on spice level and items to order. Food- we did family style. Ordered pork egg rolls, seafood fried rice, entree cashew with the combo meat of beef, shrimp, chicken. And the curry which came with white rice. Plenty of takeaway. For sure will be back. Thanks Pam!

    Pad See Ew
    Herman L.

    Easy quick lunch here. Staff is super friendly and can't beat the price for the lunch specials. Portions sort of reflect the lunch size but it's enough. Flavors are great and the medium spice level has a good kick. No frills and just good food.

    I pass this place daily on the way to work! I finally tried the lunch special ginger beef steamed rice plate for $11. Portion was a bit small but the beef was very tasty. My friend got lunch special chicken panang curry and that was definitely too small and not filling. The curry was alright, nothing special. We both got medium, and the spice level was actually accurate. The complimentary tap water was not good. While food was good, I think there are other places that I can get more for the same amount of money.

    Food was made fresh and was flavorful. Pineapple chicken curry was literally just that. No other veggie in there. Fried rice and spicy fish sauce were super delish. 5/5 was service. We went an hour before closing and they were so kind. It was clean inside. No sticky tables, floor was clean. No trash. I would def recommend. Is it the best Thai food ever? No. Not at all. Mid. However it is the best Thai place around here if you're not going to Bellaire.

    Pad Thai
    Katherine D.

    Came during the lunch special and I think it's definitely worth it. It's a good portion size for the price and it was really good! I really like the pad Thai and pad see ew and the green curry. We were greeted and able to order as soon as we got there and the servers were super attentive. It's a nice little restaurant in a strip, super easy to go to and meet w friends. Definitely going again

    Tom Kha Chicken
    Shakib I.

    I would 100% come back, the Thai food here is great! I came with my family food a quick bite after a Texans game, so there wasn't much of a wait. I got the Pad Kee Mow with chicken, hot, and it was so good! The spice was just right, giving me enough heat that I had to take some time to sip on Thai iced tea to cool off in between bites, but not spicy enough that I couldn't enjoy the flavors. My wife got a tom yum soup -- they accidentally brought out tom kha soup, but promptly realized they brought the wrong item and got us the right soup. Both were excellent, and came out quickly. I liked the fast service, our waitress was really attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The next time I've got a craving for Thai, I'll be back!

    Basil Fried Rice with shrimp
    Lex R.

    This was my second time dining in and everything was just as good as before. Food was fresh, reasonable portions with enough for leftovers, and staff was nice/attentive! Those shrimp tho

    Pad Kee Mow with beef
    Shannon T.

    Loved this place the first time I tried it, and it continues to be a staple place to go! This time, I tried the pad kee mow with beef and drunken macaroni. I got it without spice, and both dishes tasted delicious with a nice basil flavor. They tasted actually very similar and basically have the same ingredients. I opted for no spice but I think it'd be more delicious with just a little added spice. The portions are huge and always so delicious!! 10/10 recommend supporting them!

    New Thai restaurant in the med center area! This restaurant is located in a shopping center between a barbershop and a gas station. They area kind of gives shade tree but once inside the restaurant the vibes are good! The woman at the counter is very friendly. I ordered the Thai basil with white rice and some veggie egg rolls! Very fresh and well seasoned! The egg rolls come in a 4 pack and they are definitely cooking with fresh oil because they were great! As pictured you get a good sized portion of food! I will definitely be back to try more things on the menu!

Pork Bao's are normally my daughter fave but the soup dumplings here are her favorite. She could finish an order on her own. The service is always great.

The order goes straight to the kitchen and you can add as you go if wanted. I always thought that was pretty cool. The owner came out to say hello and ask how everything is. She even brought out a small bowl of soup for my baby to enjoy. The waitress was also very sweet and attentive. I don't live close by but will make the trip when the craving hits.

    Wow! Just... wow…read more Loved this place from the moment I walked in! Ambiance was super fun and welcoming. The tubs of ice filled with cold drinks all around as you approach the counter was casual and fun. And the staff was welcoming and friendly. The menu had so much variety, without being overwhelming. Anything from a good pazole, to a brisket Rueben, to an American Italian sandwich! I got the báhn mì sandwich, which was bursting with flavor! The pork was seasoned well and had good flavor from the marinade. The cilantro, pickled onions, jalapeno, all were so fresh and vibrant! And I was able to get homemade chips and fresh strawberries as my side - such a refreshing bite the strawberries after a rich, porky, spicy bite from the sandwich. Can't say enough good! Loved this place and would go back in a heartbeat!

    A big part of the decades long success at Local Foods has been their commitment to consistency…read more Their casual setting with excellent service is one thing, but quality executed food that is simple and seasonal will always go a long way. Before their recent expansions to Austin, it all began here in Rice Village exactly 15 years ago. The vibes are contemporary and casual, with the kind of space that fits for just about any scenario. Whether it's a solo meal, a lunch date, or a group led affair, the experience is almost always an excellent one. Start by ordering at the counter and find a seat where the food will brought directly to the table. So much of their variety caters to all sorts of dietary restrictions from vegan to gluten free to nut free. Their spicy crispy brussels sprouts ($10) are a nice starter, as is the squash "onion" rings ($12). The local power bowl ($16) is a classic and I've always enjoyed the brown rice and quinoa combo. Their chicken "posolé" is solid, and I love the large hominy bits along with the clear but green tint of a broth. The chicken shawarma bowl ($20) is an interesting mix that includes pickled beets and strawberries, along with their market cheddar burger ($17) and fabulous twice cooked fries. The carrot cupcake is strangely addicting, and I think their gluten free brownie is a bit of a sleeper. Some of their items didn't jive with me previously, such as an underwhelming cashew queso ($9), a semi-laughable Vietnamese steak bowl ($22), and their semi-gringo version of a banh mi ($15). It's not that these items are bad per se, but they definitely don't live up to the same standard that I feel their other dishes do best. Where they hit the biggest home run is their customer service. Everyone working behind the counter does their best to deliver and they almost always do by staying on top of refills, cleanups, and customer greets. I've always enjoyed my experiences here and look forward to every visit.
