    Nice ambiance, attentive service. Not the best Thai I've ever had but pretty good. It also offers lunch specials. Worth popping into if you are on 99 in Katy and feeling Thai and you're already too far from Katy Asia Town. Lots of parking since it's in the strip mall with a huge Kroger.

    I got the crying tiger steak and it was SO GOOD!! The meat was cooked perfectly to medium rare, just as I had asked for. I loved that it came with sticky rice AND papaya salad! Although I was slightly confused with the steamed vegetables. I ate it all, but they weren't seasoned at all. The sauce that came with was good too. The only thing was the meat was pretty well seasoned for me so it was a bit too salty for me when I dipped it into the sauce. The service was promptly and our server was friendly. Minor complaint, my friend's entree took a while longer for it to come out for whatever reason when she got a pad Thai.

    What we got

    Order one thing got another. What can you do. Maybe we have to come in and sit down because delivery prices was crazy. 20$ and it isn't what we even wanted

    Mango with sticky rice

    Urban Thai Kitchen has not lost its touch. Still the best Thai restaurant in Houston area. As we ordered the lunch special, we also go cup of soup, egg roll and salad. Soup was tom yum chicken with good number of chicken pieces and mushrooms. Egg roll with the sweet chili sauce was good as well. We ordered the green chicken curry. They use Thai eggplants (small one) and was delicious. Ordered the basil stir fried ground pork & egg rice plate. Ground pork was very tasty. Comes with fried basil that were crispy. We ended our meal with the mango sticky rice. Instead of the standard white rice, they used purple rice. Probably one of the best in Houston. Service was quick. It wasn't busy when we came in on a Saturday morning. Restaurant is very nicely decorated. They have a wall of the Thai alphabets. Definitely will come again when we are in the area. Highly recommend to check them out. This is our go to place after Thai Gourmet closed down.

    My colleagues and I come here quite a frequently for lunch. The service is amazing, the food is excellent quality and I absolutely love this place. I highly recommend giving it a try their lunch special it absolutely an amazing value A soup, a salad and egg roll and an entrée is a steal. And the ambience is cozy and friendly. Absolutely a hidden gem that needs to be checked out.

    This week I tried the Tom Yum Pork/Shrimp Wonton soup on the lunch menu! This place never misses! I can always count on consistent Thai flavor and quality in the food prep for their customers. The prices have increased but I still think it's a good value for the amount of food and quality you receive at this family-owned Thai restaurant and I always refer all my friends in the area to try them out. I love to order my favorite dishes; the green and red curry, pad kee mao, pad see ewe, shrimp pad thai, basil friend rice and khao soi. My favorite appetizers are the money bags, shrimp rolls, and tulip port dumplings. So if you're in the area stop and try it. Sometime the mom owner will come out and great you to say hello. She's even treated me to a delicious Thai tea which is equally delicious. Can you tell I enjoying eating at the place...LOL

    Classic Pad Thai

    We got Pad Thai, Mixed Vegetables, Soft Rolls, Fried Tofu and it was all delicious, fresh, and authentic. They were able to make the food jain and vegan. Service was great

    Thai tea

    Urban Thai is a restaurant located in a shopping strip near Kroger. Cozy setting if dining in. Service was pretty good overall. The Thai tea was a little too sweet. Got mild spice for all 3 dishes. Pad kee mao with chicken was delicious but more on the sweeter side (probably shouldve done medium spice?). Was not too crazy about the chicken khao soi. It's savory and chicken quality was great, but I've had better at other restaurants. Finally, for the massaman curry, the SO picked beef as the protein. I personally would've chosen chicken or tofu. You can tell from the cuts that the beef was going to be tough to chew (and it was). Aside from the beef, everything else in the curry was delicious! There was an option to choose naan or rice. This restaurant is worth trying once!

    Was craving some Thai food, so stopped here!…read more First impressions: the restaurant is nice! And also, since it's in katy Asian town, there plenty of parking for you! Service: service was good and fast. Food came out pretty fast! Food: I got the panang curry and my bf got a crispy noodle. I really enjoyed the taste of the panang curry! The only thing is, I wish it had more meat, it was mostly vegetables. Overall, still good! Will definitely be back!

    Came to Thaicoon with my family and overall had a pretty good experience, even though a few dishes…read morewere hit or miss for us. Thai Tea: Sweet, delicious, and exactly what a traditional Thai tea should taste like--no complaints at all. It was rich, refreshing, and one of the highlights of the meal for me. Che Tai: The Che Tai tasted a little too artificial for my liking and was definitely different from the version I'm used to. It may have also seemed less sweet since I was drinking Thai tea alongside it, but overall, this was probably my least favorite drink of the night. Crying Tiger: This was probably my family's favorite dish of the evening. Paired with rice, the meat was flavorful and well-seasoned, though on its own it leaned slightly salty for me. The texture was also a bit too chewy, and I personally would have preferred a crispier bite. Even so, the flavor was still enjoyable, and both my father and brother really liked it. Grilled Atlantic Salmon Curry: The presentation was beautiful, and the salmon had a nice crisp on the outside. However, I could tell it was slightly overcooked, and the meat itself tasted a little bland, almost as if it had been frozen for too long. The Panang curry was comforting and coconut-forward with a creamy texture that I enjoyed, though it lacked the sharper punch I've had from other Panang curries. Lobster Papaya Salad: I liked this dish much more than the seafood salad. The seasoning was mellow, and the fresh young papaya was well-seasoned and refreshing. Unfortunately, the lobster still had a slight fishy taste that didn't sit well with me afterward. We ordered everything mild since my brother can't handle spice. My father thought the salad was too sour, but my brother enjoys sour flavors, so he liked it more than we did. I also personally didn't enjoy the green beans included in the salad. Yum Talay Seafood Salad: This salad had a softer, more acidic flavor, but I wish the taste had been crisper and brighter overall. The sourness felt muted in a way that didn't fully work for me. It was still decent, just not a standout dish for our family. Service & InKind Experience: The service throughout the meal was a big reason why I still gave this place 4-stars. Our waiter was attentive, friendly, and already familiar with the fact that we were using InKind, which made everything feel smooth and effortless when it came time to pay the bill. Overall, Thaicoon had beautiful presentation, attentive service, and a few dishes my family genuinely enjoyed. While some of the flavors didn't fully land for me personally, the atmosphere, service, and seamless InKind experience still made it a solid visit.

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.

    I will be quite honest with you that I really have no experience with Malaysian food. In point of…read morefact, I've bypass this restaurant numerous times simply assuming that it was Chinese. It is anything but in point of fact, it is in my estimation, a unique culinary experience. I don't write from the perspective of comparing this food to other Malaysian dishes that I've had in point of fact to the best of my recollection I don't think that I've ever had Malaysian cuisine. But if this restaurant is an example, I have missed a great deal. The food is very unique the servings are very gracious charitable. The prices are incredibly reasonable given the distinction of this particular cuisine and given the portions and quality of food that is served. The service is quite simple and the restaurant is actually quite small. However, I must tell you from A service perspective. It's truthfully amazing because the takeout business is extremely active. Not to mention the fact that the chef walks out and speaks to people will share anything that you want to know about Malaysian food and obviously from the quality of the food that I ate not only is his explanation thorough but my guess is his skills are incredible. As I said it is very small so it's difficult to Alpine about the ambience other than it was quite clean and given the number of whom I suspect were Malaysian people it's obviously quite popular within that community. So I take that to be a sign that this food is quite native in nature. I had a pork meal, which is only on Sundays. I spoke to the chef about it, and he explained that the preparation started one day in advance of actually serving the meal, so I understand why it is only served once a week. Although I must tell you because I lack familiarity it seemed to me that I would be hours and hours trying to replicate any of the dishes. All I can tell you is this if you are in an exploratory mood for a cuisine and have had or have not had Malaysian before I suspect this is a place to go. Quite informal, extremely fair pricing very generous portions great service very pleasant people and frankly it's a a family affair of what you will see many when you go. Quite a lovely experience.
