What Customers Say

"One of my favorite Thai spots in Houston and seen its popularity grown over the years. (I think I first visited in 2018 after their name change) I finally got to try the Khao Soi Gai on this recent visit and it definitely lived up to the hype. The coconut soup/curry is rich and flavorful, and the mix of egg and crispy noodles gives it a great texture. All the other dishes I've had over the years like the Pad Thai, Pad khee mao, Papaya salad and even the fried rice are very solid. The Papaya salad packs some serious Thai heat so be warned when you choose your spice levels here. If I had to nitpick, I'd say the portions on some dishes have gotten a bit smaller and prices a bit higher, but also understandable with inflation and growing popularity. Thai tea is also a bit watered down this time. The space has a cozy, mom and pop vibe with limited seating. There's a small attached mini mart featuring some classic SE Asian fixings/ingredients. Definitely a unique spot. Parking can be a challenge, there's also some street construction at the time of this writing. A great place for to-go orders as well. Overall the dishes feel authentic and a satisfying experience each time."

"NEVER DISAPPOINTS. HITS EVERYTIME. We got our usual roti w curry sauce, pad Thai with beef and a Thai green tea ( love how it's not too sweet ) But this time we tried the Tom Kha Gai and it was everything we were looking for in a soup. Creamy, savory, sweet, citrusy. Going to be another staple in our rotation!!"

"After a late night out with my cousin, we dragged ourselves out of bed for breakfast and stumbled upon this spot after a quick search for Thai food -- and wow, it did not disappoint. We started with the papaya salad, which was bursting with flavor and packed that signature Thai heat that instantly shook us out of our hangovers. The red curry was rich, creamy, and layered with just the right balance of coconut and spice. The Pad Kee Mao was also a standout -- perfectly pan-fried with a great wok char while still keeping the noodles soft and bouncy. Now for the drinks... unfortunately, both the Thai tea and Thai coffee were a miss. They were super watered down, and I wouldn't recommend them. Service was great -- the staff was attentive and kind, even with the restaurant being moderately busy. There's also a small attached market, which is convenient but a bit overpriced compared to the bigger Asian markets in town. The space (both inside and out) definitely feels a bit worn and dated, but honestly, that just adds to the charm. You know the food's going to be legit when the decor isn't trying too hard."

"Highlight: Khao Soi Gai ($14.95), Beef Pad See Ew ($12.95) The best beef pad see ew I've ever had. Cooked to perfection, the bouncy chewiness of the noodles was firm with a good bend. The vegetables were crunchy and well flavored, salty with a hint of sweetness. The eggs surprisingly had a nice and crispy texture with a small hint of crunch. Curry had a coconut taste and rich in flavor. The chicken was tender and noodles were crunchy. I wished it was hotter in temperature but tasted great overall. Hospitality: Fast service. Honorable Mention: Great portions and the restaurant is inside of a small grocery store."

"Ok wow... this was a recommendation from a friend of mine and all I gotta say is wow. Food detail is sooOOo good here! When you first walk in, you may be a lil confused because its a small convenient store, but there are mom n pop shop style seating for dining. The place is run by a small crew of people and they're all very friendly and patient. Enough of all that though... my friends and I "ATE," and we ate real good! Got the Pad Khee Mao, Beef Noodle Soup, Pad Mama, some dumplings, shortribs, beef stir fry, grilled mackerel... 7 (5 mains and 2 appetizers) different things plus Thai teas. I think it all came out to about 90$ (friends paid so you know food tasted extra good) But dont take my word for it, its worth the drive across town for. Go check it out!"
