    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.

    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.

    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!

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

    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.

    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.

The atmosphere feels lively, casual, and packed with personality--exactly the kind of place you hope to stumble upon but rarely do. The menu is enormous, featuring dishes from different regions of Thailand, with everything from soups and stir-fried noodles to rice dishes, curries, seafood, and grilled meats. Looking around the dining room, it seemed like nobody ordered the same thing because there is just so much to try. Best of all, the prices are incredibly reasonable for a place with this much hype. I had some of the best noodles of my life here. The Pad Kee Mao was phenomenal (best I've ever had and I eat thai food OFTEN) the noodles were chewy, bouncy, fresh, and perfectly coated in sauce. Everything tasted made-to-order and arrived piping hot. We also ordered the Beef Noodle Soup, which was rich, comforting, and packed with flavor, along with the Green Papaya Salad, which was easily one of the best versions I've ever had. The heat, acidity, and freshness was incredible and so well balanced. Many of the dishes are served on banana leaves, which adds to the entire experience and makes everything feel even more authentic and special. As someone who loves spice, I also appreciated the range of spice levels available. They don't hold back, which I always consider a good sign. One of the coolest surprises is that there's an attached market selling imported products from Thailand and Vietnam--lots of fun snacks, drinks, sauces, and ingredients you won't find at a typical grocery store. A few things to know: parking can be a little challenging, and while it's a sit-down restaurant, you'll need to head to the cashier to pay. They also accept cards, so don't worry about bringing cash. If I lived nearby, I would honestly come here every week just to work my way through the menu. This is the kind of restaurant that's worth planning a trip around. I would come back to Houston just for this meal. When people say Houston has some of the best Asian food in the country, this is exactly the type of place they're talking about!!

We visited for lunch on a Tuesday and had no wait to be seated. The service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. The spring rolls and dumplings were both very good and made a great start to the meal. The Pad Thai had nice flavor and was enjoyable. My husband ordered his dish at a spice level 4 (their highest spice level), but felt it wasn't quite as spicy as expected, so keep that in mind if you like a lot of heat. The portions were very generous, and we definitely had leftovers. The kids' chicken fried rice was a huge portion and was surprisingly good. We also enjoyed the mango sticky rice for dessert--it was a great way to end the meal. The only disappointment was the Thai tea, which tasted a little weak compared to what we've had at other Thai restaurants. Overall, the food was tasty, the service was good, and the portions were excellent. We'd be happy to return and try more items from the menu.

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.

For drinks, I got the Mekhong Mojito and it was sweet and refreshing! For appetizers, we got the crispy squid and the crispy wonton- crispy squid was good but if you had to choose between the two, get the crispy wonton! As for the entree, I ordered the Khao Soi with shrimp and my friend ordered the spicy red snapper. The curry broth with coconut milk was fragrant and with the toppings that came on the side (i.e. lime, onions/shallots, mustard greens, etc) enhanced the dish. The flat egg noodles were bouncy and the shrimp was solid. If you're stuck between choosing a curry dish and a noodle dish, get the best of both worlds and order the Khao Soi! As for my friend's spicy red snapper, I tried a bite and the spices/texture in the dish complimented the fish very well. For dessert, we ordered the classic Mango Sticky Rice!

We tried their appetizers including Salmon Rolls (flavorfully packed with cream cheese, salmon, and spinach in a crispy shell and loving that actually spicy mayo on the side), Thai Style Jerky (deep fried and sun dried marinated pork and beef served with sticky rice rolls and side spicy tamarind sauce, a bit too dry/chewy), Fried Tofu (perfect little triangles, so good by itself or with the side sweet and sour sauce with crushed peanuts), Chive Pancake (deep fried and chive packed triangles with a slight chew to it, great by itself or with it's spicy soy sauce companion). As for the mains, the Spicy Seafood Fried Rice is a good value as it was loaded with all sort of fruits of the sea (shrimp, squid, and mussel), with prominent lemongrass and kaffir lime aroma, but a bit wet or moist for a fried rice dish, the Crabmeat Omelet is served with a nice portion of lump crabmeat where you can taste the flavor of the seafood and add sriracha to liking, and the Beef Pad See Ew is made appetizing with wok charred flat rice noodles along with a savory blend of soy sauce, Chinese broccoli and egg. The portion size is alright and filling for a moderately hungry individual, though it would've been even better a tad bigger for those coming in hangry. I'll be back for more when I'm craving some modern Thai food and especially want to try their curry dishes. Service was quick and efficient, attentive to refills on drinks and friendly!
