What can I say... I've been craving pork jerky and Thai sausage for years, and no matter where I looked, nothing ever tasted quite like what I remembered from Thailand and California. After eight years, I finally stumbled upon this place and it did not disappoint...From the first bite, it instantly took me back to when Steve and I would order these exact foods and just enjoy each other's company over something simple and comforting. Food holds memories, and this place brought them back in the best way...It's a true hole-in-the-wall spot...quaint, cute, and welcoming. There's a small storefront, and in the back is where they cook everything fresh. Expect about a 15-20 minute wait, just like other made-to-order places, but it's absolutely worth it...Nothing fancy. No frills. Just amazing food, nostalgia, and that feeling you get when something tastes exactly the way it's supposed to...I've finally found my favorite Thai spot...They're a small stall inside the food court, go check them out. -- Pilgrim Sojourner (SD Mac) read more

I was referred by a Thai client who said this spot was legit, and I can honestly say most of the dishes were pretty tasty. * Pad Kra Pow (Chicken) - 4/5 Great flavor, but the rice was hard. If the rice had been fresh and soft, this easily would have been a 5/5. * Papaya Salad - 5/5 So spicy and flavorful! Loved that it came with cracklins, which made it feel even more authentic. * Pad See Ew - 2/5 This one fell flat for me. It was edible, but had almost no flavor. Next time I'll try the Pad Kee Mao and hope for better seasoning. * Stir-Fried Clams with Roasted Chili Paste - 5/5 Amazing! So flavorful, with basil and saltiness that paired perfectly with rice. Unfortunately, the rice again was hard and had an off smell, which took away from the experience. Overall, I'd definitely come back. I noticed the spicier dishes (we ordered spice level 5) were packed with flavor, so maybe that's the key here. For Pad See Ew I did get medium so there wasn't much of a kick to it so that what I'm assuming. read more

Anna Thai Food isn't just the best option in the dreaded Hong Kong City Mall food court, but I'm willing to bet it's one of the most underrated Thai spots in the city. Buried deep into the food court, Anna doesn't get the same kind of visibility as other food stalls / restaurant spaces, but it still stands out for its unique exterior. On the outside there are Thai snacks and small items for sale, which is reminiscent of so many SE Asian food stalls and mini storefronts. The best part is the no nonsense approach to food. Most everything I've had has been tasty and they also really know how to pack the spice. I've enjoyed their pad kee mao, pad see yu, and a very fragrant tom yum soup. Their spicy and sour sausages are a hit and it goes well with their basil fried rice. Their pad ka pow might be some of the best I've found and their stir fried preserved eggs with basil is outstanding. I am very appreciative of their service and know the food takes a bit of time to make since it's usually from scratch. Seating for those dining in is never an issue since there are chairs and tables all over. Lunch and super early dinners are recommended since their hours are limited due to the food court dying down after 7pm. read more

Gotta love variety and SO doesn't love banh mi as much as me (I know.. I know) so while walking through the mall too, we came across Anna Thai Food at the food court Pad Thai - savory , sweet and super fresh ingredients, I highly recommend Wishing I chilled with the banh mi because Anna Thai is a one to two persons operation and I would've loved to support her even more by ordering several dishes. Owner was super nice and friendly too. Hoping to visit Anna Thai again in the near future! read more

Can obviously tell I ordered from them more than once. One of the best Thai places in Chinatown I say, love the spicy crispy pork with basil and Pad Thai. The pork is good thick cuts and comes with a lot of basils and other greens. Can be a little salty, but pair with rice is great. I always order level 5 spicy and that makes me sweating, so tune it down if you can't handle spice that well. It is located inside the food court of Hong Kong Market, so seatings are public, can get little crowded and rowdy on the weekend. I like to get their food to go and then go down to Creamery Teahouse towards the market to order my refreshing drink and eat my food at home. It's a perfect night takeout choice! read more

Anna Thai Food - Chicken N1. Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Houston, Texas

I was introduced to this place a few years ago by a fly Thai guy who had gathered a small group for some Thai deliciousness. Located on the far side of the Hong Kong City Mall food court, one might not assume much from first glance, but this place serves some amazing authentic Thai food. While presentation and the lack of a proper dining room does leave much to be desired, taste is king. Therefore Anna Thai is king. Flavors are bold and delicious. It's a to go type of place, but you're more than welcome to eat in the food court, as there is plenty of seating. It's usually crazy loud there though. read more

I hope they don't close down, otherwise I'll have to say, Anna-ther one bites the dust! This is a lovely little Thai restaurant inside the Hong Kong Food Court in the Hong Kong Mall which is a Vietnamese mall, so you can expect some Vietnamese style Thai food here. But totally delicious! It's much cheaper than you would expect at most Thai restaurants and is really good. We've eaten here twice, including once recently, and will be coming a third time hopefully. All in all, it's one of the best options in the mall, and one which we will keep coming back to now that we have discovered it - as you should too. read more

This place was a fun pick for our family. No frills, within the hong Kong market and it feels like you're ordering Thai food from a bodega. We ordered pad woon sen, spring rolls, green curry and Tom Kha gai. Everything was brought out quickly and tasted just right. I'd definitely go back. read more

No flavor. Inside a foodcourt mall. Heat level too weak. Good service for a small operation.

Every time i try a different thai restaurant i aways have to try their pad thai! It wasnt as spicy and i wanted it to he but the noodles and the protein made up for it! Anna thai, doesnt just have food they also sell products straight from thailand, which i love. All their other thai dishes looked sooo good i cant wait to try them! read more

This review is based on my UberEats lunch order of the Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles) chicken + shrimp and Thai Tea. The Thai tea and pad kee mao arrived very well packaged. I found the tea to be on the sweeter side so if you're a sweet tooth, you'll love this tea. The pad kee mao came in a generous portion. I find that when there's so much food sometimes it's easy to miss the the mark on consistent flavors throughout the dish. In the case of this pad kee mao, some batches of the dish were extremely flavorful and other batches not so much. In terms of the toppings, I found the jumbo shrimp to be the favorite as it was extremely juicy and flavored just right. So if I were to get this dish again, I'd get it made with shrimp alone. Overall, delicious food. Looking forward to trying out more dishes from this gem. read more

The owner is very friendly. I called an hour before to see if they were open and somehow she knew it was me when I walked up. Before I even spoke lol. I walked off to check out the stores and I came back and saw my food boxed up in a to go box in a bag! NO! If you know anything about pad Thai and to go boxes they do not mix! If you are going to put pad that noodles in a to go box at the very least cut a slit out of the corner of the styrofoam box so all of the steam can escape. If you don't do this you will have a big globe of noodles stuck together! Management please start to do this! I told them I was eating it there. So they took it out of the box and guess what? The noodles were already sticking. Such a shame they don't cut an opening for the steam to escape. Back to the food. The food: pad Thai chicken and beef. You get very little meat and a ton of noodles! I mean an excess of noodles with some small chips of meat. This should be called meatless pad Thai lol. Also if you eat it like they serve it you will be in for a dry experience! Who likes it dry? Not me!! Hahaha dry is never good! I had to ask for more pad Thai sauce and peanuts. Once I added that the dish was pretty solid. I have to admit their pad Thai sauce they use to stir fry tasted highly concentrated like it came from a bottle. It was a pretty overall good meal. Just way too many damm noodles and not a lot of meat. Oh I had to add peppers too because I asked for hot and didn't taste any spice. Hot at Thai gourmet will set your ass on fire lol. Also, their pad Thai is absolutely not better than Thai gourmet. A great alternative if you are craving Thai food on a Sunday but mom-sat Thai Gourmet is my first choice. read more

One of the best Thai places in the Chinatown area and it's in a FOOD COURT. If people aren't feeling Thai they could get a different cuisine and yall can still eat together. There are plenty of things on the menu people can enjoy. (3/5): YEN TA FO ($8) - I got this dish because it seemed interesting with its PINK SOUP and other people seem to like it. The flavor is definitely strong of a FERMENTED SHRIMP/FISH PASTE. I was taken aback. I wasn't sure how I felt about it. I liked all the seafood that was in this dish however I would probably not get it again because it didn't quite meet my taste (5/5): PAD WOON SEN ($9) - I got 1 level below their spiciest level because I love spice. It had my tongue tingling with a flavor explosion. I love the CLEAR SKINNY GLASS NOODLE. There was plenty of chicken and peppers. (5/5) THAI TEA ($3) - I think the cup was at least 20 oz. You get a lot of tea for what you paid for. It was strong and a little bitter but creamy. read more

service was quick and the ladies working there are very sweet. food was flavorful and SPICY. I didn't expect the spice to hit that hard but I was tearing up near the end. It was like the good kind of pain. The spicy red snapper was great and the panang curry hit the spot, a bit watery though, not sure if that's the consistency they were going for. I would come back again to try their noodles!! read more

When we were on lockdown, we ordered from this restaurant/grocery store when we were hungry for some Thai food. We used it to get our Thai food fix when we ached for food that wasn't normally available. For Thai food, it fit our needs. You can find most food staples for this cuisine here. Nothing fancy but affordable and tasty. read more

If you're looking for QUICK, cheap, tasty Thai food - this is a great place. I come here usually for the larb or Tom yum soup. I wouldn't say this is the best in terms of quality/taste but it is still good and best described as Thai fast food. Tom yum soup 5/5 (I get the spiciest and it is indeed SPICY) Chicken larb extra spicy 4/5 (spicy is REAL spicy if you get the most) Jerky 3/5 (has a gamey after taste I don't get from jerky at other restaurants) Pad Thai 3/5 Beef mussuman curry 5/5 (xtra spicy - highly recommend) Fried wings 4/5 (plain but tasty) Again everything is cheap and I usually get assisted by an older woman or middle aged man and they are always very nice. read more

So it took us a minute to find this place but it was inside of the mall thank goodness. The food was really good. Everything was the perfect spice and level of tastiness. We got everything they had to offer pretty much and it was just the two of us. We had so many leftovers too. I'm pregnant and my sense of smell and taste is super strong and it was perfect. read more

An absolute hidden gem of Houston Thai food. I discovered them on UberEats one day and was wanting to try out some Thai food. They are located in the HK4 food court and they are absolutely delicious and tastes so authentic. Their spice level is off the chain! Getting even medium spicy can make you feel some regret. Haha. Our favorite items to order are: - Fried Squid - Combination Fried Rice (Kids favorite) - Thai Rice Noodle in Fish Curry Sauce (aka Curry Noodles) - Yum Nuea (Beef Salad) - Pad See Ew - Pad Thai There is so much flavor in each dish that its all very unique. The herbs, seasoning, and various leaves are packed with flavor and have their roles that make up the dish. This has been our go to Thai restaurant to order togo from or for delivery. I highly recommend them and they have been perfect each time. Watch out for their spicy level! Make sure you order some Thai tea to assist in putting out the fire in your mouth! read more

Thai cuisines does not mess around with their spice. Anna was very friendly and attentive. She stayed after their closing time to accommodate to our group. A gem if you're looking for authentic Thai food. It's located in the food court of HK4 mall. Quite an extensive menu they have. Informative with pictures to go along with. We started off with Thai tea. It had a thick and strong flavor. Good portion. Can't go to a Thai place without trying their Thai tea. Any-who, moving onto the food. Warning..I'm so bad with food names! I ordered the sukiyaki which was a house special that was not on the menu. This particular dish came out last but worth the wait. Just by looking at it was appealing. It was made with clear thin noodles. Plenty of seafood and veggies. I had level 1 or 2 spicy and it was doable. Before tasting this dish, I had tried a bit of everything that was going around the table. I had a variety of curry, fried rice, fish cakes, and other type of noodles (pics below). My lips were burning. We were all surprised by the level spice with Thai food. Now we know. One downside is the location. It was raining that day so where I was sitting, the roof was leaking. I had to keep my food to the side because every once in a while, water would be dripping down. I enjoyed the causal and homey touch to the food here. I would come back to try more of their menu. I enjoy small local businesses like this one. You can tell that the staff put in a lot of effort to bring you good and authentic food. At the end, we learned how to say goodbye in Thai. Sa-wat-dee-ka (for female). Sa-wa-dee-krap (for male). Make sure to put both your palms together and do a light bow. read more

I had the opportunity to visit Anna Thai food driving around the area. I was made aware of the restaurant/store because of Facebook through a post. Also looking at the reviews here on Yelp, I was very excited to stop by. Location wise it is in the Hong Kong City Mall 4 food court in between the crawfish and sushi food stalls. I decided to go with 3 very common things you can find at any Thai restaurant: Pad Thai, chicken wings and Thai tea. My impression, was a very positive one for sure. I took my food to go and ate it at home. The chicken wings (Wings of Siam) were good. Instead of fried crunchy wings these were more of a baked texture that came with Thai chili sauce/ The Pad Thai I ordered was a medium spice to it that was just the right amount. Also just enough amount of chicken for the dish. The portion for me was generous in my opinion. Lastly, I had the Thai tea, which was just the right amount of sweetness opposed to other places that sometimes use condensed milk instead of half & half. My final thoughts, I did enjoy my visit to Anna Thai food. Not only are the serve food but also have groceries as well. The food was really good and I would definitely come back for more. My last thought I have is in regards toward the Wings of Siam. The chicken wings are good and they come in 6. Whenever I have visited other Thai restaurants, I am accustomed to the delicious dark soy sauce based sticky wing sauce. I was surprised they don't make the wings that way but it's not a deal breaker for me. read more

Wow! Amazing Thai food and I think we will be coming back here again. This place is located in the Hong Kong mall which is kind of sketchy but then also it adds to the appeal.... Anna Thai food has the nicest staff and the food is great! When you walk up, it has a bunch of grocery and convenience store goodies and also Mark Wiens food reviews playing on the TV lol- definitely unique. We got the Pad Kra Pow and mango sticky rice and both were some of the best we had outside of Thailand. The Pad Kra Pow was juicy and flavorful with the right amount of spices! The mango was good, a little bit smaller portion that expected, but still very good. Overall, we were really happy and can not wait to come back! read more

We made a trip to Anna Thai Food a few weeks ago. The place is the new addition to the Hong Kong Market food court. And by the way, You cannot miss the sign because it huge. This place has an extensive menu. In addition to the common street food items they also have drinks like Thai tea, Thai coffee, Thai coconut juice and etc. They also sell imported Thai snacks. Our group ordered a few things. I recalled that my wife and I ordered Yen Ta Four Red noodles soup and Potk Boat noodles soup. Another friend got Sukothai noodles. Yen Ta Four noodles soup needs to have 2 main taste palettes -- sweet and sour. These two taste palettes have to hit you hard and be at the forefront. If you don't taste the sweetness or the sourness right away then the dish need some work. When I first tasted Yen Ta Four noodles at Anna Thai Food, I thought it needed both sweet and sour tastes. The Pork Boat noodles soup was rich in favor and anything with pork rinds can't be all bad. While I was pleased with the broth, I think the vermicelli should be cooked a bit longer as they were too hard. Last dish was the Sukothai noodles, which was vermicelli seasoned with soy sauce and garlic plus variety of meats -- ground pork, fish balls, tofu, etc. This one was a gem for everyone at the table. The vermicelli was cooked perfectly, and the dish was well seasoned. Other than these three dishes, we also got Thai tea. It was OK, but perhaps a little too sweet. I mixed some water to dilute the sweetness and then it was to my liking. Overall, I think Anna Thai Food is a good alternative while at Hong Kong mall food court. The place is still new so there is room to improve. Personally, I'll give them a try again. Hopefully, they got everything right next time. Plus, I also heard that they may have additional items that are off the menu so be sure to ask for today's specials. read more

Ordered a tomyum soup but nothing in there, only soup and a few shrimp. Paid 16 dollars for nothing. Never come back.

I ordered the combination and it was very good and the medium spice was just right. A little on the dry side but no complaints other than that. read more

I had the basil fried rice and added snapper to it. Rice was very dry and bland. The snapper was fried way to hard. Very disappointed.

No customers, so we decided to buy a package of pork seasoning the size of my hand to help them out, seeing as my wife grew up in Thailand and I lived there for a while. It was $6 which seemed expensive for seasoning. But what got me is that they also charge tax. This isn't cooked food. It's a grocery food item. So it seems to me there shouldn't be tax on it. But maybe because we were buying from a food court outlet tax is automatically charged? I don't know. We probably will just buy at Hong Kong market next time. read more

Great authentic Thai food, every item doesn't disappoint. My goal next year is to try every item at least once (except salad) lol.

Wow let me start off by saying 5 Stars for food and service this is now definitely my new favorite Thai restaurant. I was going to order pad Thai seafood but Raj called me out like a Bitch saying that was a white girl dish him being Thai I said ok you order for me. He ordered me the duck Curry soup yummy but let me tell you that you must be able to handle spicy food to enjoy this dish. Being that we were a group of about 10 people I also got to sample many different yummy cuisines all very tasty. I will definitely be back here the only reason I cannot give five stars is the location is in the run down food court of the Hong Kong mall watch out for water dripping from the filthy air vents my friend Ann sitting across from me had to keep her food to the to the left of her aside the girls food next to her so you've been warned. Like I said all in all we all had a great time just kinda wish Anna would move her restaurant to a more of a actual restaurant place would certainly be a hit. read more

I'm happy to say that this place is another home away from home. Tucked away in the far off corners of the earth or honk Kong market area, is a good and decent food court at the very far left. This place opened up quite a bit ago and I decided to "Thai" this place out. Haha, get it? Thai instead of try? No? What? I'm grounded from the internet!? Anyways, -insert eye roll here- I had the pleasure to meet Anna, the owner, and enjoyed her food. This place definitely has a lot more items that wouldn't find any at most places. Ranging from "yen ta fo" and "guy jab" which are really popular dishes from Thailand. If you want to try some really authentic Thai food, you better pray and hope it won't burn your insides and your butthole. The food is spicy if you ask for Thai spicy, it's flavorful, and most of all it's made by someone who cares about what their food is. We ordered moo ping, guy jab, green curry, and basil fried rice. Alas, no pictures because I was hungry and it smelled so freaking delicious. Moo ping or the bbq pork skewers were very tender and delicious. The piece of pork slid right off and almost melts in your mouth with the right amount of meat to fat ratio. Basil fried rice: it's a gigantic amount of rice that's seasoned with peppers, chili flakes, eggs, and rice. I opted out with pork because it just goes so well with everything. The moment I realized that the owner was Thai herself, was the moment she had to make everything Thai style. It's seasoned to perfection and greasy enough to cure a hangover. -hint hint- The green curry we got Thai hot. Holy smokes, I legit almost pissed myself crying. It reminded me of home cooked meals. The fact that they used small Thai eggplants made it worthwhile. Each bite took me to a place of nostalgia and would definitely recommend it to anyone. The spicy ness grew with each bite, the hunger was slowly being satisfied by each spoonful of rice and curry, and the creaminess left me in aw. Try it out. Guy jab, is a Chinese 5 spice broth with flat noodles, pork blood which is cooked into cubes, pork, and other stuff you wouldn't normally eat. It's a feel good noodle soup stew type of thing. Anybody who's anemic will definitely get all of their iron from eating this wonderful meal. It's a sweet and savory with a hint of garlic. Just thinking about it is honestly making me drool and I just got done eating! Think of this place like a Thai restaurant but in a good court. It'll take maybe 15 minutes to finish; but the wait is definitely worth it. I really should do some unofficial events and maybe some of you guys will "thai" it out with me! read more
