Great food! We came on a weeknight. It was consistently busy and no table avail. We only waited about 15 mins. They had one young guy in the front working and two ppl in the back cooking, I think husband and wife and their kid. It did seem like it is busy and the were trying to catch up with dishes and clearing tables. But they were very nice. The food is great ! My hubby loved his crispy garlic chicken. My pad see eww and tom kha soup was good. Our friends liked their dishes. The spring roll was so so. Thai tea good. Very affordable and great food ! Would come here again and support them ! Hopefully they get more help. read more

Good portion, good price! Small place with only one person running the front. You order at the front and dine in or togo home. Pay before service so, price is reasonable, best in town. I've been holding off from coming here because the previous place which was called Magic Spring Roll was disgusting. I was wary that it might be same owner, change of name but it is different!! Thank god. Shrimp Pad Thai $13.95 - this was alright, saucy and kind of undercooked noodles. Too much of the sauce which made it too sweet and sour. Shrimp was good, 5 pieces to an order, okay sizing. I do like the scramble eggs on top as garnish. Overall not the best but decent for the price and location. Overall 3/5 Chicken Green Curry $12.95 - This one was massive, probably the biggest curry portion I've seen around here and they are not cheap on the meat! Great flavor, good curry, love the bamboo shoots and the additional green beans. I love curry, I came here just for this but didn't want to order just one dish. I will come back to try the other curries! I can't wait 5/5 Durian Ice Cream $4.95 - Pretty good, you can taste the chunk of ice, so it's pretty homemade. Was missing the sweet sticky rice, so they gave to me on the side. Good portion of ice cream for $5. The peanuts on top go well with it. This is next to some church and they had their sermon going on the whole time from 6:30-8:30pm. Small place, I think it's good for Watagua area. Their door is kinda dingy, opens randomly sometimes and doesn't close well. I had to walk up sometimes to close the door or my food would have been cold. Overall good service and good food. I would rate this place a 3.5/5 read more

I recently saw this restaurant featured in a social media video, but I live on the other side of the Metroplex, so when I had to run an errand in Watauga I immediately knew I needed to make a stop here too! The restaurant is very small and only has 6 tables, which are first come first served. My friend and I were luckily able to grab a seat right away. We ordered Crab Rangoon, Tom Kha soup, Pad Thai with chicken, and Pad Kra Pao. I think we were accidentally given Tom Yum soup because it didn't seem to have any coconut milk in it, but it was still delicious so we just enjoyed the happy accident! Crab Rangoon had lots of crab inside which was nice! Pad Thai was absolutely delicious, I also enjoyed trying their various chili paste/oils on it. My friend really liked her pad kra pao, I tried some of the meat and it was delicious with a great basil flavor. We both agreed we NEED to make a return trip in the future! This small business deserves all the success! Tip: also stop in to El Sol Mexican Imports which shares the parking lot. Lots of wonderful planters, bowls, mugs, garden art, etc run by a lovely couple. I picked up a beautiful mug! read more

Originally Magic Spring Roll location. Was happy to see Arun Thai on tik tok recently and decided to give it a go. It's a very small eatery with 6 tables and 16 seats available. Family owned and operated wife in the kitchen and hubby working the front. Very personable and friendly folks, it almost as your at home and Mom is preparing a favorite dish a real homey vibe for sure. We ordered the Pad Thai Beef and Chicken Pad Thai with Sticky rice for the finish Sticky Rice Mango. The servings were full plate and steaming hot spice level from 1-5 we played it safe at 2. Noodles were perfectly cooked and the ingredients were delicious. A small gem in the neighborhood that reminds you of days gone by. Wishing them nothing but success. Can't wait to try something next visit. I would highly suggest giving them try. read more

We arrived right when they opened and there were already about five people ahead of us. I wanted to try the pork skewers, but they were already sold out due to a large online order--hopefully next time! For appetizers, we got the crab Rangoon and fresh spring rolls. The crab Rangoon was really good--the filling was meatier than most and not just packed with cream cheese, which we really appreciated. The fresh spring rolls came with a delicious peanut dipping sauce that we loved. My husband ordered the chicken Pad Thai (spice level 2) and said it was a bit sweeter than other Pad Thais he's had--next time he'll go for a higher spice level. I actually liked it a bit more than he did! I ordered the crispy garlic chicken with brown rice. It wasn't super flavorful, but it was still tasty and enjoyable. We also ordered two Thai iced coffees, and I absolutely loved them. The place itself is very small, with only two 4-person tables and four 2-person tables. You order at the counter, and they bring the food out to your table. The service was really great. One thing to note: if you pay with a card, there's no option to add a tip, so bring cash if you want to tip your server. We'll definitely be back--and fingers crossed the pork skewers will be available next time! read more

This a small hole in the wall Thai food place but it's well worth the wait! Tried it for the first time today and definitely will be coming back again! Food tasted amazing and service was great too. The prices are affordable for the serving you get. The food tasted fresh and authentic tasting like when I was in Thailand. I recommend to try this place. You may have to wait for a table or you can buy to go. read more

"Run, don't walk!" is my rating for this spot. 5 stars for service & food. We had chicken curry puffs, pork egg rolls, crab fried rice, and green curry with tofu. All the food was freshly prepared in-house, including the sauces for the appetizers. Icing on my cake was that I got to try durian ice cream and it was delicious! Our waiter explained that when durian is cooked into a dish, the unpleasant smell disappears and only its amazing flavor remains. He was right! That ice cream was a bowl of creamy heaven. lol! This is a small, clean restaurant with very nice service and excellent food. Our server (possibly also an owner?) was very nice and answered my menu questions. I went with the green curry based on his recommendation, but I have a feeling that all dishes here are quite tasty. I grabbed a takeout menu and I'll definitely be back soon. Oh, they also have Taro ice cream. Yay!! read more

I ordered drunken noodles. Flavor profile was great. Nice crispy edge on noodles. The beef was cooked to death though.

Delicious. We enjoyed the crispy cashew chicken, pad see ew and red curry. All yummy. Even my picky kids loved it. Family run 6-table restaurant. A great find. read more

I found this place through Yelp!, and it is amazing hidden dining opportunities like this one that make me enjoy Yelp! so much. Do not be deterred by the small size or nondescript appearance. This family-run local business serves up amazing Thai food at very reasonable prices. I had red curry tofu and it was delicious. Fast courteous service and a cozy little dining room. Located at Watauga Rd at Hwy 377, this place is well worth the drive. read more

I've been driving past this little mom and pop Thai spot on Watauga Rd for months. The colorful sign and the mexican home decor next door always catch my eye. Finally stopped in, and I'm so glad I did even after the viral video which recently all over my feed. I was scared it'll be very busy for a while. We enjoyed all of the items we ordered. This is also my first time trying Thai coffee so different from the Thai tea most of us are familiar with. Amazing local business worth supporting, with a kitchen run by the sweetest Thai ladies cooking flavorful Thai food. read more

This is actually my 2nd time this week to stop by since the first one I tried eating here it was so busy. There's a line of people trying to order and I understand that everything is cooked fresh and there was only one lady in the kitchen. So I decided to come back again on a different day. They have also adjusted their business hours. They close at 3pm to reset on days that they are open and re-open at 5pm just in time for a delicious Thai dinner. They have apparently went viral hence the reason they got so slammed. Patience is key here. If you want Thai food bursting with flavors this is where you can apply that. As William Langland said "patience is a virtue" read more

The ambiance is like you are at mom's home and you are getting a fresh home made meal....small but very welcoming. You can smell the wonderful aroma of other peoples food and it smells divine..There is a bit of a wait it is a small business but the wait is worth it.The couple that own this place are an older couple but are super nice and his wife is such an amazing cook . The food is fresh and of a good quality and portions are generous. The curry puff are fresh non of that frozen stuffs. Note: this is place that you come to eat but you must not be in a rushed they truly put time into cooking a meal for you that is fresh and of good quality so that takes time. read more

The service was excellent. I got the spring rolls and the chicken skewers from the appetizers. None of the listed entrees had non-fried options. Think it would be nice to have a grilled entre option. The space is small and very clean. Would also recommend Coke Zero as a drink option, since sales data has shown that Coke Zero sells more than Diet Coke. Overall highly recommend. read more

The food was absolutely delicious! My husband said the crab Rangoon was the best he's ever had. The pork spring rolls and chicken satay were also fantastic. I ordered the cashew chicken with steamed rice, and it was so fresh and flavorful. My husband had the crispy teriyaki chicken with Thai herb rice, and it was even better than my dish! Our daughter ordered the fried rice, which she liked, but she mostly snacked on the appetizers and our meals--so her rice came home with us. I highly recommend this place! It's a tiny spot with seating for about 16 people, so be patient--they stay busy. We will definitely be back! read more

Arun Thai Foods in Watauga.... incredible food! Barely open for 2 weeks, they are a family run business by the nicest people! Very reasonable prices as well compared to other Thai restaurants imo, with the option of ordering online too. If there was anything to nit pick and complain about it would be that I asked for spice level 4 on my masuman curry and it was probably a level 2 at best. Cannot recommend it enough and will be back soon! read more

Amazing Food, Place was clean and Food came out fast. Will be back soon!!!! Absolutely loved it. Glad I was in town

The hours on yelp are wrong; they are closed from 3 to 5 PM. There was a line of almost a half dozen people waiting to get in at 5 PM. The restaurant has minimal seating but takeout option is available. We tried the cashew, crunchy chicken, green curry, pineapple fried rice, and coconut ice cream. Everything was pretty good and fresh. The green curry was spicy. The crunchy chicken was a little salty for me, but my partner thought it was just right . The coconut ice cream tasted homemade and served on a bed of sticky sweet rice. I also do recommend the ginger peach iced tea and the Thai coffee. Prices were very reasonable, all entrées under $20 with most under $15 read more

I absolutely love this restaurant. The family who runs it is so incredibly kind and friendly, and the food is very authentic. Everything I've ordered so far has been extremely delicious (the chicken curry puffs and panang curry are my absolute favorites). So I was a teeny bit underwhelmed by what I ordered tonight - chicken satay, tom yum soup with shrimp and the crab fried rice. LOVE the chicken satay - it's always flavorful, tender and delicious. I was told they accidentally made tom kha (coconut milk is added to the broth) and was about to make me another soup. I offered to take the tom kha - I didn't want them to go through the trouble. This was a happy mistake. The soup had a good balance of flavors and the small was the perfect amount. The vegetables and shrimp were cooked perfectly. The coconut milk made it a little too sweet for my preference, but I would definitely recommend this if you love tom kha soup. The crab fried rice was so so for me. I like that fresh crab was used - the flavor was quite nice, and there was a good amount of egg and vegetables, which I like in fried rice. What was disappointing was biting a piece of crab shell with each bite. After 5 or 6 bites I gave up eating the rice. And being it's one of their more expensive dishes, it made this a frustrating dish to try and eat. This is one dish I won't be ordering again. With that said, I highly recommend the other fried rice and curry dishes. read more

Little restaurant that delivers on great food and service. Went here on a Friday night and was able to get seated in this tiny restaurant. Had the drunken noodle and coconut soup with chicken. Both were very tasty and full of flavor. One of the best spots for Thai food. The person who took my order and delivered the food to the table was friendly and quick. Really good experience! read more

Cutest couple serving up the classic Thai favorites. You should definitely check them out if you're in the area.

We searched for new restaurants and discovered Arun Thai Foods. They are owner operated in a small venue. We had dined at this location years ago as a different restaurant. We started with Fresh Spring Rolls that had one of the best peanut sauces. My sponsor ordered Pineapple Fried Rice with Shrimp. I ordered the Tom Kha Soup. The flavors and textures were fresh. Their web site is Arunthaifoods.com. They are located at 5609 Watauga Rd, Watauga, Tx 76148. read more

This small little restaurant shocked us with the flavor & food quality. I wasn't expecting anything bad, but I wasn't expecting anything that good either! We ordered pork spring rolls, crab rangoons, drunken noodles with chicken, and a side of fried rice. It took a reasonable amount of time to receive our food after ordering. It was clear when the food arrived that it was made fresh and we could barely wait to take the first bite. The fried rice is addictive...the hints of garlic just really set it apart from so many other fried rice dishes I've had. Looking forward to coming back and trying other dishes! read more

We had gone there on Saturday night, and the experience was great! The older gentleman who was taking orders at the counter was very nice and very accommodating despite their busy atmosphere... The food was pretty good, probably not as good as I've had at other Thai restaurants in the area, but it wasn't bad. My wife and I had dinner for a date night and we decided we wanted to bring our kids back the next evening to see if they liked the place. Unfortunately, the next visit was not as good as the first. It got off to a rocky start when the young lady at the counter told us we should have come in earlier if we were going to sit down and eat and drink wine. At that point, it was still 45 minutes before closing. She said that people who do things like this are selfish and then proceeded to ask us why we wanted to drink water if we were drinking wine, tried to talk us out of the food that we wanted and then questioned any substitutions that we needed to make. She was very rude and condescending. And we will not come back to this place when she is working.. We heard that the older gentleman, Dale, was not there because he is having surgery today and we hope that he is OK... all in all, I waited 30 minutes to get my food and had to take most of it home because we didn't want to be "selfish" and be there after 9 PM... An older Asian lady came out from the back and apologized for our experience and we told her that it was not her that needed to be apologizing, it was the young lady... When we brought these things to the young lady's attention, instead of apologizing, she tried to justify her actions... Anyone whoever works in food service knows that's not how you handle the situation, especially when the customers are not being rude and did their best to take all of the person's crap and not say anything... we gathered our stuff and left and made sure that the older lady knew that she was not to blame for our bad experience... The young lady did say she was sorry at one point, but it certainly did not feel or seem to be heartfelt... I hope this was a one off for this place because it does appear that there are very nice people who work here and work very hard to make a good product but that young lady may ruin that for all of them... read more
