    I've eaten here multiple times as a quick lunch option near the office, and have never been disappointed. Interior is small but no issue getting a table. You walk up to the counter to place your order, then sit and wait for it to be brought out to you. They have all the Thai staples you'd expect on a menu, pricing is very reasonable, and service has always been quick and friendly.

    Pad Thai

    A solid Thai spot and a nice quick lunch spot in this area! I stopped in for a Saturday lunch and was the only one dining in at the time. Service was quick and efficient, and the waiter mentioned they usually get a decent lunch crowd on weekdays, with more of a rush in the evenings. I got a few dishes like the traditional Pad Thai with chicken, fresh ginger with beef, and Panang curry. I was most impressed with the curry, rich in flavor and just the right amount of spice. The Pad Thai was also enjoyable, with great texture from the glass noodles and a nice balance of sweet/savory. The fresh ginger dish was just ok, I was not that impressed with the cut of beef, the flavor didn't quite stand out compared to the other dishes. Parking is easy to find with sufficient space in the front. The interior has ample seating and featured several TVs above the kitchen area playing some cooking shows. Overall, this is one of the better Thai places in the area and I definitely look forward to coming back trying more of the menu.

    Delicious!!! Wet clean restaurant, plenty of seating. The food was so good. I loved everything and will definitely be coming backs the menu was so to read and our waiter was very helpful at helping us narrow down what we wanted to try. They have so many options of curry. It was hard to choose which one we wanted.

    Good authentic Thai food! Their medium spice has a punch to it so if you can not find at spicy go down a level. Love their papaya salad and chicken tom yum to start off. Their flat noodles and fried rice is so flavorful. Friendly staff that often check up on us

    Red Curry - Hot

    A home run for Thai food. Man, I love this restaurant. Great value on the menu, excellent flavor and all the flavors are perfectly balanced. I love the Green Curry and the Red Curry. 10/10 would recommend. The atmosphere is casual, but strikingly clean --sanitary and everything looks dusted. Aroy has the most attentive, considerate waitstaff I've seen. Big thumbs up for Aroy Thai!

    A great Thai spot! So much flavor in the noodles. The chicken is ok. My husband loves the pad Thai and the iced Thai coffee, super flavorful. It's a small place, cafe vibes and casual. The staff is super friendly and the service was great! We've been here a couple times now. I got spice level 1 and it wasn't that spicy but my husband got medium and he said the heat built over time.

    Great food, fast service, awesome lunch specials, tasty spring rolls! Lovely lunch spot with a nice interior design and comfy booths as well!

    Pad kee mow

    This has immediately become our go to Thai place because the food and service were just incredible! We took a big group here so we had the chance to try lots of different dishes. To start, the crispy rolls, edamame and cheese curds (special) were delicious! I also had a tom yum gai which was extremely flavorful and quite a large portion. For entrees, we had the fried rice, pad kee mow, fried rice, Panama curry, and I think the green curry, but I'm not 100% sure. All were delicious except that we ordered them a bit too spicy! That was absolutely our fault - we ordered them at a 3 spice level and probably should have done 1 or 2 . We're very used to Szechuan food so we thought we could handle our spice, but we would definitely recommend ordering it less spicy just in case! Regardless though, this spot was extremely clean and very quiet, so it was a perfect family spot. We'll definitely return back soon but will order at a lower spice level!

    Near the office, I stopped by for a quick weekday lunch since it's one of the few Thai spots nearby. It's located on the frontage road of the interstate in a small shopping center. Parking is available in the front. The interior is slightly dated but has plenty of seating. The atmosphere is extremely casual and feels like a spot where they want to turn tables pretty quickly during lunch hour. The menu is fairly large and definitely could be condensed into one or two pages. Service is fairly fast and casual; order your drinks, entrees, the food is brought in, and the check. Got the Thai tea to start, papaya salad, pad Thai, pad see ew, and panang curry. Their Thai tea was pleasantly and mildly sweet, which is great since most Thai tea drinks are made with way too much sugar. The papaya salad was alright; it's decently seasoned but definitely not the best I've had in town. The pad Thai noodles were a bit disappointing; they're super thin and fairly broken apart by the time we got it. The dish was missing some fried egg and bean sprouts to add some texture to the noodles. The sauce was also a bit light on the tamarind flavor and was more spicey than anything else. I was not a fan of the pad see ew; there lacked Chinese broccoli/ broccolini and there was just standard broccoli in its place; this felt a bit inauthentic. The seasoning/ sauce was also lacking flavor and the noodles were pretty forgettable. Lastly, the panang curry had good flavor but lacked content; there were a few beef slices, tons of peppers/jalapeño slices, and a ton of snow peas for some reason and came with white rice. Taste wise, this was probably the best dish but the curry was very watery and again lacked some content in there. Overall, I felt the quality of the dishes were a bit subpar and below the raving reviews. Service was friendly and the prices are fairly reasonable but the food is far from my go to spots.

    Good services and great food! Some place won't let accept more than mild. Therefore I ordered more than mild, to adjusted coconut milk and made it taste milder! I love it.

    tofu pad kee mao
    Tracey Z.

    I was surprised by this place. It seems pretty authentic. Good service and lots of options. The wait was pretty long for the food so I assume they make the food fresh to order. We tried the tofu pad kee mao. I honestly was not too impressed by this. It was missing the kick of flavor I was expecting. The tofu curry rice was a bit better flavor wise, but I was also not super blown away.

    Does anyone remember Nit Noi Thai on Woodway in Houston? They had amazing food but they were a little higher priced. They closed a few years back. I have been searching for great Pad Thai since they closed, and I finally found it! This place is like Nit Noi's little sister. I will definitely be back! I was immediately impressed upon entering the restaurant. We were warmly greeted and shown to a seat. We ask for a different one with booth seating on both sides and were accommodated with a smile. It's a small space, but also offers an intimate atmosphere. They have 5 TVs in a row above the kitchen area. Looks like they were all playing cooking shows, but it's a nice touch if dining alone and need something visual. The interior is not anything special, but it's the service and the kitchen who get the review of 5 stars. We ordered 2 appetizers to share. The 4 piece Crispy Rolls comes with a dipping sauce. They are perfectly fried and deliciously crispy, hence the name. We also ordered the Tempura Shrimp, also a 4 piece with dipping sauce, and arrived with a little side salad plus dressing. Both appetizers were terrific! For our main entree, the gentleman had the Red Curry with a spice level of medium, he chose. I had the Pad Thai with chicken and a spice level of mild. The Red Curry arrived in a steaming hot bowl with a side of beautiful white sticky rice. The Pad Thai was extremely well presented with lovely sprig of scallion leaves, peanuts to sprinkle on top, and a lime wedge. We each tried the other's entree. Both were very very good! I will say I am thoroughly and pleasantly surprised. The spice levels were great. I am not as much as a spice lover, so my mild preference was perfect for me. His medium preference got a little hotter as he got to the end of the bowl. I think Thai culture is use to more spice than American culture, for the most part. Either way, it was still delicious! The portions are large enough to have leftovers. I was thrilled I had lunch for the next day. I don't think they have a soda machine. We had ice tea. I noticed she kept getting the ice from an Igloo type cooler which sat on the countertop. Wine glasses were on a shelf, so I would assume they offer wine. In another review I saw the picture showed a can of Coke, so I think that is what they offer. This place is known just judging by the multiple people who came in for pickup orders. I can't wait for cold weather to order something warm. Red Curry during cold weather is delightful! Parking is easy. Plenty of spots available at dinner time when we went. I will return and probably do pickups from this place since it is so good.

Came out steaming hot, and yolk was not overly cooked and dry, not bad. Starting with the Chinese hamburger I felt sad and know not to expect too much from the other dishes we ordered. First the meat look different than what others have posted before, and it was kinda dry and too salty to eat. There was no other spice, only the meat juice flavor. The bun they use was stale to eat. Traditional way of making this should be the flaky oily pancake, or at least make the buns softer to eat. The mutton stew was clear and very heartwarming to drink on a cold day. But the portion is super small for the price. The glass noodles were gone in literally two bites. I had none to share with my boyfriend. This dish come with the burger bun too that you can soak them in the soup so I guess this is the extra carb make up for the less noodles. Oil splash noodle is their specialty? It was good but didn't wowed me. Noodles are chewy and well cooked, came with lots of bean sprouts. The sauce is flavorful and actually not too oily which I enjoyed more. You can add the beef for an extra charge, it's the regular braised beef, was just ok. I find it funny that their all food arts on the wall look nothing like the actual way they serve it.

On my most recent visit we ordered mapo tofu with pork intestines off the specials menu - a hybrid of two of my favorite Sichuan-style dishes. The blend of bouncy, savory morsels amidst tender, saucy tofu was at once revolutionary and so obvious; why hadn't I yet seen this at any other restaurant? And sure, innards may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's important for you to know that none of my past orders from the 50+ item menu have ever failed me, whether enjoyed in the restaurant or at home. Maybe you'd prefer the aromatic, classic, perfectly balanced three-cup chicken? Or the sweet-skinned duck, glazed so delicately that specks of sugar crystal threaten to jump off onto the plate as you pick up a juicy slice with your chopsticks? And if you're vegetarian, might you consider the punchy garlic eggplant or the wok-kissed string beans? I could go on. Do yourself a favor and come see for yourself, though I'd recommend parallel parking on the neighborhood streets behind the restaurant rather than the rocky parking lot, to save you some trouble. Bring friends and chow down family style - you'll need help covering as much of the menu as you can, but you'll definitely have to come back to try everything.

I saw she went to speak to another employee and cracked a smiled and looked over. She later returned and offered a small discount instead. The issue wasn't about the money or the discount, it was the principle. The promotion was clearly advertised, and I simply followed the restaurant's own policy. It was disappointing to feel like the restaurant was reluctant to honor something they were actively promoting. I hope management addresses this because customer service and consistency with advertised promotions make a big difference in the overall dining experience.
