Ordered the green curry. It was watery. People working in the kitchen must not be thai because they don't know what they are doing.Hey idiots, you dont dump the entire can of coconut water into the sauce pan. Just the creamy top portion.

Enjoy the Pad Thai here. Even light spice is pretty spicy, so add light if it's your thing or consider no spice. You've been warned.

We came in on a Sunday afternoon and had appetizers. The ambience was very relaxing and the food was all freshly prepared. We will definitely be back sooner rather than later.

Parking, structure behind the restaurant and they provided 2 hours free. Saturday afternoon, the restaurant was basically empty, one other couple there. It's a nice quaint storefront, the bar looked like they could make anything and a good selection of beers. Something that I believe a lot of places could work on, the staff that seats you or brings the menu's, it doesn't hurt to be friendly. Return a "hello", something, just a little welcoming. Remember, you more employees than customers at the time we came in. The good, drunken noodles slightly more than mild spice were delicious. The spice went well with the Chang beers. We also got the Thai wings, really not something I would order again. Pretty basic. Even the dipping sauce "sweet Thai" wasn't much help. We were in Houston for the weekend and thought we would give Thai a try, I'd go back to try anything spicy and have a beer with it.

I am rating one dish. The tom kha. I don't taste lemongrass or galangal but I do taste a lot of sweetness. Sickly sweet. The chicken is dry and overcooked. I assume it just sat in a big pot and slow cooked for hours. I ordered another dish with meat a couple years ago and I felt ill. I should have remembered that.

The food is really good, very classic. I think given the location it is a little on the pricey side for Thai food. The only thing I would suggest is to be cautious about the spice level. I normally love spice but I was sharing with someone who doesn't so I got a level 2 but it was more like a level 4 and they couldn't finish the dish lol.

Truly our favorite Thai restaurant in all of Houston. The food is amazing and affordable, and the staff is super friendly.Dietary restrictions: Spicy can be spicy! They have a scale of 1-5, we can handle 1 sometimes 2.Parking: Restaurant validates parking :).

Awful prices and the fried rice is bland and comes with nothing. I asked what the original fried rice came with and the unwelcoming guy at the bar says “nothing, but you can add veggies” for additional fee. Literally $20 for jasmine rice and onions.This lack luster, wanna be Thai restaurant needs to step up their game.Come here for disappointment.

Been to two different locations and both have been great. Never really tried Thai food before but I’m definitely hooked on the drunken noodles Thai spicy. They’re spicy and fresh and the veggies add a nice balance. I’ve added it to my weekly meal rotation!

Love this place. I can eat carb free and get plenty of flavor and spice. It is a life safer.

Solid place for Thai food but I think it is pretty Americanized. I cannot get over Thai places that use American broccoli instead of Chinese broccoli. I ordered the chicken satay and the pad see ew (my go-to barometer for "grading" a Thai restaurant). The satay had good flavor and came with the peanut sauce and pickled veggies. Chicken was a bit on the dry side. The meals here allow for diners choice of spice level and I ended up doing the "spicy" option, which is a tier down from "Thai spicy". It had good heat to it still and I found myself sweating at the end of the meal. The pad see ew was on the soupier side but overall had a good balance of sweet savory and spicy. Service was great. Because of the spiciness I was having my water refilled quite a bit.

Only had a few dishes but consistent and reliable every time. Their chicken pad Thai is my go-to. Pickup, call-in or delivery, they hit the spot every time!

Food was terrible. Green curry was too watery and pad Thai had burnt eggs in it. Such a disappointment.
