    Khao soi

    I had the Thai tea and khao soi, which was authentic and delicious. The service was excellent and attentive.

    Moo Ping with Sticky Rice - good, not great
    Carolyn H.

    Food was good, but sadly nothing spectacular and not sure I'd be back. The guy serving me was so kind though and quick with serving me. Food came out quickly. The decorations are cute and the restaurant is clean. I was annoyed with how an employee or maybe she was the owner --was eating lunch with 3 other girls, and they were obnoxiously loud throughout my lunch. It's not big inside so I'd think she would be mindful about other people sitting so close by??

    Plastic wrapped Sticky Rice? Not a fan.
    PJ M.

    Parking is easy. Service was courteous and fast. Really like the staff. The food was not bad but unfortunately it didn't stand out amongst the other Thai restaurants in the Katy area. The one thing we didn't like was the sticky rice in the plastic bag. Not really sure the thinking behind this but heat + plastic to leave another step for the customer? Mmm. Could do without. Thai Tea: 5/5 not overly sweet. Tasty. Moo Ping with Sticky Rice and Kor Moo Yang were both okay but not standouts. Steamed Mussels Clay Pot - 3/5 (not bad, a little bland) My favorite dish was the northern noodle dish that combines dry and wet noodles in a rich broth. I did quite enjoy this. Unfortunately, the rest of the meal was lackluster. Only because of the competition in this area, I wouldn't come back though I wish the restaurant lots of love and luck.

    New Thai restaurant!! Delicious food especially the chicken skin and friendly service .

    Curry, Pad Kee Mao, Tom Yum Soup
    Serena S.

    We were craving Asian cuisine, wanted to stay in Katy, and hoped to try a restaurant from my Instagram saved posts. This place met all three criteria! Located in the same shopping strip as Baskin-Robbins, I've noticed many restaurants come and go there, but I hope this one stays because Katy needs more diversity. On a Sunday evening, the restaurant had a few occupied tables. I appreciated seeing the owner dining there herself, observing the flow of business. Our waitress was extremely enthusiastic when describing the menu. We chose the Tom Yum soup, Pad Kee Mao, and a curry. The soup was great--I loved the tanginess. The Pad Kee Mao was spot on: the perfect carby goodness I needed, with a nice hint of basil. The thick noodles had a soft texture and were perfectly cooked. The curry, however, had an off-putting taste. After informing the owner, she apologized and removed the item from our table and bill. With friendly service and other dishes being on point, I wouldn't deduct points for this, as they addressed the situation in a favorable way. I will return to enjoy the same dishes and try more! Considering I found this place on Instagram, I was hoping for some aesthetics across all plates; that would be my only suggestion for improvement.

    Most legit Thai food in Katy! Love this place. Presentation is nice, the flavor is spot on, and spiciness is real. They have unique dishes there as well and a lot more seafood options. Sticky rice comes with Moo Ping!

    The food is delicious and flavorful. I ordered the green curry no spice and it was delicious but had a little kick to it even though I asked for no spice. I ate it with rice and it balance it out. My husband loves spice and ordered the pad Thai spicy and he said it was really spicy but a good spice ‍. We also got an appetizer and a fish that was crispy.

    New Thai restaurant next to Baskin Robbins at Mason and Highland Knolls. It's a small place, maybe 10 tables total with a beach theme for decor. For appetizers, I had the roti which was very good and the chicken gyoza which was honestly par. For the entree I had the yellow curry at a medium spice level and it was exactly the spice I would expect for medium. I loved that. Many times when I go to Thai restaurants the medium is way too spicy but this is was perfect. Service was good despite there only being one waiter for the whole restaurant. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and would come back to try something new.

    Thai Green Tea: Delicious and had the tea flavor that I was looking for rather than being overwhelmed by the creamer. Tum plara: I don't think the fermented fish sauce is for me... but I could see others enjoying this dish if they enjoy that flavor. I think I would've enjoyed the tum thai more. Pad Thai: Not bad, but I think it was a bit too sweet for me. I prefer my pad thai to be more savory & spicy. Thai Garlic Fish: not pictured here but this was my favorite dish! The fish was huge and crispy, and the accompanying chili lime sauce was so delicious and tangy!

    Moo Ping with Sticky Rice
    Mariel T.

    I am so sorry but this was just... ok. Service - amazing! Food - well.. We had to send some beef back because it was impossibly chewy making it difficult to eat. The pad se ew was.. fine. The tiger cry was okay. The moo ping - THE BEST. We honestly should've just gotten two orders of this and been fine! I'm willing to give it another shot, but it won't be my first choice for Thai in the area.

    Khao Soi
    Priya N.

    This is a hidden gem here in Katy. Located next to crunch fitness and baskin Robbins, this Thai restaurant is a must visit! Starting off with the interior: it gives off a fresh summer vibe which is perfect for this season. The waitress is very nice and the owner was gracious enough to come and introduce herself to us. Starting with appetizers, the chicken satay was great, with peanut sauce. My companions loved the peanut sauce however personally peanut sauce is not my favorite. The chicken satay (4 pieces) was perfectly seasoned and juicy. The chicken gyoza were okay. The crab fried rice was phenomenal! Generous portions of crab and fried rice. With every bite you will guarantee get a crab piece. The khao soi (northern thai dish) was amazing! We got medium spice and the coconut curry along with the unique concept of dried noodles in the coconut curry sauce was genius. This is a place I will certainly come back to/ I cannot wait to try other items on the menu.

    Sum Tum Plara & Beef Larb
    Justine L.

    Sum Tum Plara & Beef Larb was not as good as the first time I was there. I would say dry and not enough sauce or acidic a little disappointing. Will give them another try but not anytime soon. It didn't take long to get my food I ordered to go. The E-Saan sausages I had to put in my air fryer for that little crisp.

    Came to Thaicoon with my family and overall had a pretty good experience, even though a few dishes…read morewere hit or miss for us. Thai Tea: Sweet, delicious, and exactly what a traditional Thai tea should taste like--no complaints at all. It was rich, refreshing, and one of the highlights of the meal for me. Che Tai: The Che Tai tasted a little too artificial for my liking and was definitely different from the version I'm used to. It may have also seemed less sweet since I was drinking Thai tea alongside it, but overall, this was probably my least favorite drink of the night. Crying Tiger: This was probably my family's favorite dish of the evening. Paired with rice, the meat was flavorful and well-seasoned, though on its own it leaned slightly salty for me. The texture was also a bit too chewy, and I personally would have preferred a crispier bite. Even so, the flavor was still enjoyable, and both my father and brother really liked it. Grilled Atlantic Salmon Curry: The presentation was beautiful, and the salmon had a nice crisp on the outside. However, I could tell it was slightly overcooked, and the meat itself tasted a little bland, almost as if it had been frozen for too long. The Panang curry was comforting and coconut-forward with a creamy texture that I enjoyed, though it lacked the sharper punch I've had from other Panang curries. Lobster Papaya Salad: I liked this dish much more than the seafood salad. The seasoning was mellow, and the fresh young papaya was well-seasoned and refreshing. Unfortunately, the lobster still had a slight fishy taste that didn't sit well with me afterward. We ordered everything mild since my brother can't handle spice. My father thought the salad was too sour, but my brother enjoys sour flavors, so he liked it more than we did. I also personally didn't enjoy the green beans included in the salad. Yum Talay Seafood Salad: This salad had a softer, more acidic flavor, but I wish the taste had been crisper and brighter overall. The sourness felt muted in a way that didn't fully work for me. It was still decent, just not a standout dish for our family. Service & InKind Experience: The service throughout the meal was a big reason why I still gave this place 4-stars. Our waiter was attentive, friendly, and already familiar with the fact that we were using InKind, which made everything feel smooth and effortless when it came time to pay the bill. Overall, Thaicoon had beautiful presentation, attentive service, and a few dishes my family genuinely enjoyed. While some of the flavors didn't fully land for me personally, the atmosphere, service, and seamless InKind experience still made it a solid visit.

I tried so many Thai places looking for a Thai yellow curry with chicken that's comparable- and just could not find it anywhere. A friend mentioned this place, and well, I live in the Heights so this is a trek for me. I will travel for yellow curry though, so trek it I did! I'm so glad I did. This place has now become one of my go-to's and has been added to my rotation. I go pretty often, and I dread the drive everytime until I get a taste of their food. It's also where I take my out of town visitors- it's that good. Located within a strip mall, but it's got a cute ambience, with low key music, and wallpaper that pretties the place up. My regular order includes their Thai tea, cheese rolls, yellow curry with chicken, pad Thai (wrapped in an omelet- so cool!) and their fried rice. Alllllll of it is so good. Oh whoops and my husband loves their beef drunken noodles. The servers are all super friendly and always helpful with suggestions. I couldn't recommend this place enough.

We got the roti canai and salt and pepper calamari as appetizers, and the sizzling tofu, beef rendang, CK teow as entrees. - Sizzling tofu (6/5): A MUST TRY! I've never had tofu with this texture before. The outside is slightly crisp and the inside so light and fluffy, it feels like bitting into a cloud. The tofu tastes like a creamy egg soufflé and the sauce is savory and salty with pieces of sauté onions that add a nice crunch. The presentation was also very striking with the server pouring the sizzling sauce over the tofu. It's just such a beautiful dish that I would go back solely for! - Beef rendang (4.5/5): Overall a delicious and hearty dish. The beef was very tender and juicy, and there was a generous amount of it. The potatoes soaked up the sauce very well and made the dish extra filling. I forgot if we got to pick a spice level, but the dish had a nice kick to it and wasn't overwhelming spicy. - "CK teow" char kway teow (4/5): This dish had a lovely char tasted to it that made it very addictive. Just a nice savory noodle dish. I think my only complaint was that the portion was on the smaller side - Salt & pepper calamari (3.6/5): This was a pretty good calamari. The calamari had a light and crispy exterior and was pretty tender and seasoned really well. The chunky veggies were a nice touch texture wise. - Roti Canai (3.6/5): the Indian bread was so nice and flakey, I could've eaten it alone. The curry was also really tasty and flavorful, just a little bit watery. Service/ambiance: Service was excellent and they gave us so much rice. The restaurant was dimly lit, giving it a nice ambiance for dinner or a date night.

As I dug deeper, I read Jando's glowing review word-for-word and found myself salivating. Well, I ventured out to S. Mason for lunch, found the place easily, appreciated the ample and free parking, and walked in. I had read before that they used to be closed on Tuesdays and Saturdays, but now they are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays but open for dinner on Saturdays. (See my photos.) Anyhow, we walked in and found the place homey. Nothing fancy - just a nice, clean, homey Malaysian restaurant. Not too big, and not too small. We placed our order of roti canai, stir fried flat rice noodles, seafood sizzling tofu, and topped it off with a Malaysian milk tea. Oh my - we were satisfied and stuffed as a party of 2. We ended up boxing up almost 40% of the meal. The roti was near perfection - crispy, hot, flaky. The dipping sauce was perfectly seasoned with the right amount of heat. It included chunks of chicken and potato. You must absolutely order this one. I love me some stir fried flat rice noodles so we got that one with chicken. Overall, it was excellent. Portions were a tad smaller than I would like for the price. Also it could use a little bit of hot sauce so we asked for a side of sriracha which they gladly and quickly brought. The sizzling tofu - OMG so good. I can't even explain it. I just love it so much and the portions are huge. I'm not sure what the vegetable flavor would taste like but we tried the seafood one and have no regrets. Lastly the milk tea was just because we felt like splurging and it was also a great decision. The tea flavor itself is deep and the overall drink is very nice. We got it iced. And an honorable mention - we ran into Uncle Chin (at least we assume it was Uncle Chin) and told him his food was amazing. I think he really appreciated it. He seems like a super nice guy and I want his business to do really well. If that wasn't Uncle Chin then we talked to a random person and raved about the food...
