    What we got
    Peter S.

    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
    Patrick L.

    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.

    The lunch special Tom Yum chicken soup with side salad and spring roll
    Akhtar S.

    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.

    Shrimp Pad Thai, Chicken Pad Kee Mao, Cheese Rolld

    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

    Thai tea
    Tiffany H.

    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!

    Great food. Good service. Restaurant is always clean with a pleasant atmosphere. We are fans of the lunch special that comes with soup, salad, and a spring roll.

We decided to try the crab Rangoon which was perfectly fried and was stuffed with cream cheese filling! We also got the green curry, and the pad kee mao which came out at a spice level of three and packed a really good heat. It felt like these two dishes were pretty authentic tasting and definitely hit my Thai craving. I also really loved the really big portions and they served the food with a robot which I thought was really cool. Overall, a really great place for a casual lunch/dinner and it had great food and was reasonably priced!!

I tried so many Thai places looking for a Thai yellow curry with chicken that's comparable- and just could not find it anywhere. A friend mentioned this place, and well, I live in the Heights so this is a trek for me. I will travel for yellow curry though, so trek it I did! I'm so glad I did. This place has now become one of my go-to's and has been added to my rotation. I go pretty often, and I dread the drive everytime until I get a taste of their food. It's also where I take my out of town visitors- it's that good. Located within a strip mall, but it's got a cute ambience, with low key music, and wallpaper that pretties the place up. My regular order includes their Thai tea, cheese rolls, yellow curry with chicken, pad Thai (wrapped in an omelet- so cool!) and their fried rice. Alllllll of it is so good. Oh whoops and my husband loves their beef drunken noodles. The servers are all super friendly and always helpful with suggestions. I couldn't recommend this place enough. But also don't go so much that I can't get a table please!

When you come in, wait to be seated, order and pay at the table. 2. Price - approximately $15 a plate. 3. Ambiance - Classy restaurant. I love the white linen on the tables. 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.

It's cute from the outside, and as soon as you walk in, you're warmly welcomed by both the waitress and waiter. Once seated, they were quick with drink orders and attentive throughout service was impeccable...For food, I ordered my go to Tom Kha Kai, along with the crab wontons from their happy hour menu. The Tom Kha had a lighter, more watery base than the rich coconut flavor I'm used to. I know this can vary by region, so it wasn't bad, just not my personal preference...The cream cheese crab wontons were decent and nicely presented. They also served a complimentary appetizer, which was a fun surprise, a taco shaped fried wonton wrapper filled with cabbage and their house dressing...Overall, if you're looking for a quick Thai bite with excellent service, this place works. I'm giving it 3.5 out of 5 not because it's bad, but because the flavors didn't quite match what I personally look for. For what it is, it's solid. -- Pilgrim Sojourner

Time to Order: 20-45 minutes? We were in a group so maybe that's not accurate, but we also ordered a lot. Roti Canai (5/5): One of the best roti Canai I've ever had. The curry is thick with potato and super tender chicken and the roti canai bread is chewy but somehow still flaky and flavorful at the same time. It was so good that I ordered another one for myself to go to let my partner try it at home. Malaysian Chicken Satay (5/5): You will read "tender chicken" in my review several times. It's not a joke. The chicken nearly melts in your mouth. The last time I had meat this tender it was a filet mignon that was 6x the price of this dish. Char Kuey Tow (4.5/5) and Mee Goreng (4.5/5): Yeah we got both the flat noodle and the mee goreng. Because both are awesome. Noodles stayed chewy, beansprout and veggies were great, proteins were great. Not too saucy. Solid. Uncle Chen's Sizzling Tofu (4.5/5): We got this seafood style and it comes loaded with shrimp, calamari.. fantastic. Great by itself or on rice. The middle gets a little soggy if you let it sit too long, so chow down on this whole it's hot! Roasted Hainanese Chicken (4/5): Nothing against the dish itself, I just don't like all the bones. Yes, the chicken was beautifully tender. Chicken rice, also fantastic. Curry Chicken Puff (4.5/5): So this was way more filling than I expected. It's like an intense Asian empanada? Totally worth it. Comes out really hot. Lastly, we got a serenade from the man himself. Yes, he pulls out a mic and sings. It's his break from cooking during the dinner rush. So, you might indeed get dinner and a show! It's beautiful to see someone who enjoys what he's doing - and his voice is such that some people think it's a song over the intercom instead of live music, take that how you will :) TL;DR: Absolutely contends for Best in Katy. Yes, it lived up to the hype. Come and eat family style and you won't be disappointed!
