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.

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
Hudson N.

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!

Panang curry lunch special

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
Nina T.

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.

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.

The food was honestly delicious and tasted quite authentic compared to other Thai restaurants I've tried. Everything was flavorful and well-seasoned, and our food came out surprisingly fast.

Khao soi gai: 7/10 This was so flavorful and delicious but definitely should have opted for the chicken instead of the soft shell crab I wasn't really a fan of the crab. Love the flavors and textures though. Definitely want to try with chicken and I recommend getting some rice on the side. Pad mama: 9/10 This had a really yummy vibrant flavor with a good amount of protein and leafy greens. Could be spicier I think the just gave us a random spice level. Overall really yummy and good portion for the prices but would love to retry with more spice in the dishes.

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.

I went with my husband during Houston Restaurant Week, and maybe that was my mistake…read more We got the Thai ice tea and Thai jasmine green tea for drinks, squid and tofu for appetizers, the crying tiger and kua kling for entrees, and the sticky rice with mango and the coconut ice cream for desserts. I can confidently say that I was disappointed. There was not one dish that stood out or that I would recommend or come back for. I especially was sad that the crying tiger flavors really missed the mark. The sticky rice that came with it felt like it was reheated and some parts were hard. It also tasted like some of the vegetables (green beans and carrots) that come with the entrees were frozen, not fresh. The jasmine green tea tastes like a powder mix. Some of the squid tasted freezer burned. The kua kling was the most interesting and unique of the dishes, but not one that I would go out of my way to eat again. The sticky rice with mango was as expected. The coconut ice cream is probably pre-portioned and frozen so was rock solid when it came out. I did not find most of the toppings particularly good. It was a busy Friday and I know service was busy. The food did not take long to come out, but we definitely had dishes from previous courses that stacked up, and we had to ask them to be taken away. They do have a high chair for toddlers and brought a plastic plate/utensils, but there was not a changing table in the bathroom we used. We have had such great experiences at other Thai restaurants in Houston that I would not come back.

It could easily reach that level. Our waitress, Ann, was incredibly kind, soft spoken, and welcoming. My friend Sherita suggested this restaurant after we left a Yelp office hour, and I'm so glad she did because it introduced me to something I never knew I needed: the salmon mango fried rice. It was absolutely amazing. I originally planned to take some home for my son to try, but it was so delicious that I finished every bite in one sitting. Sherita had visited earlier in the week and tonight shared that she arrived; right before I walked in which was 30 minutes before closing time, Jackie told her to hurry up and order, even though she already knew exactly what she wanted and didn't even need a menu. Jackie response was unprofessional and didn't even wait till the table guest got to the table, which was less than seconds since we all arrive at the same time, and left the same place. During our visit, Jackie never brought us water. A couple who was seated after us received water before we did. It took over 10 minutes for us to get water. Ann took great care of us, but anytime we wanted a refill, we had to ask. At one point my glass was completely empty. I noticed Jackie refilling the water glasses for a table of six, so I managed to get his attention. He looked directly at me, scanned the room, then stomped away all fast without acknowledging my request. Instead, he told Ann that we wanted water, and she graciously brought it over. Even at the end of our meal, Jackie stood behind the register while my friends waited to pay, yet another employee ended up taking their payment. His overall energy felt very cold and unwelcoming. My friend even joked that it was probably for the best that he didn't refill my water because of the energy he was carrying. As someone who believes water absorbs energy, I honestly agreed. I'm grateful Ann was the one who served us with such kindness. The restaurant itself has such a peaceful, zen atmosphere. The greenery outside and the warm lighting inside create a cozy neighborhood spot that I truly want to love and revisit with my son. Thank you , Sherita for introducing me and Aaliyah to this hidden gem. I completely understand why you visited twice in one week. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu, and hopefully next time the hospitality matches the quality of the food.
