Pad Thai

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The staff was polite, prompt and professional; and the dining room was extremely clean. We ordered the Pad Thai, Yellow Curry and Drunken Noodles, all with chicken as the protein, and they all were very good. The heat level in the Drunken Noodles was definitely there, but not over the top. We'll definitely be coming back.

Hot Sake served for two

A great family owned restaurant with excellent service, amazing ambiance, and the finest Thai food in the entire Houston area!

Lunch Chicken Pad Thai takeout
Brian T.

Super impressed that Lake Jackson has a decent Thai restaurant. Grabbed lunch for takeout here on a weekday and I was pleased. I got the chicken pad thai lunch special, which was $9 (beef and shrimp are an additional $2 if you prefer those protein options). The pad thai was really good and had a deep peanuty flavor, which I really like in my Thai food. Flavor-wise, this was comparable to some of my fav Thai spots in Houston. One complaint I have for takeout lunch is that it doesn't include the side salad. I've had this before when dining in and was looking forward to it but unfortunately, the salads are strictly for dine-in. It's disappointing to me that you pay the same price for the lunch special in both the dine-in and takeout scenarios - the takeout just has less food (no side salad). I'm not sure if they somehow compensate by giving a slightly larger portion size but regardless, it's an off-putting impression that you're getting gipped when doing takeout. Another complaint I have is that I had to wait almost 10 minutes to get helped when I arrived at the hostess stand to pick up my food. Several waitstaff walked by but it wasn't until a good amount of time later that one of them actually acknowledged someone was waiting. Why all the hate for takeout customers!? Definitely can be improved upon.

The garlic pepper dish
Darlene O.

DISAPPOINTED. With stellar reviews on Yelp and Google I'm thinking my experience will be similar. I ordered a ton of food to try because I'm in the area on a work assignment and my location doesn't have many food options. The shrimp roll appetizer 1/5. The rice paper it was fried in was soggy not crisp. The overall shrimp roll had no flavor even after pulling out the shrimp from its fried rice paper roll. Would not recommend. Coconut soup with chicken. Chicken is overcooked, the soup is very watery and although it is dense with mushrooms, chicken and some vegetable can't remember if bamboo shoots or green onions, it lacked flavor. I usually SLURP coconut soup but I sipped it like tea because I didn't want my money to waste. 1/5 would not recommend Ordered the garlic pepper chicken because the lady who took my order recommended it over Panang curry. Flavor is there and the beef is tender. But BEWARE the dish is filled with black peppercorns so that unexpected crunch can throw you for a loop. ESPECIALLY when you find some sliver of whatever you want to call what was embedded in my rice. I was so disgusted after dumping the rice in the box container on my plate to warm it up and I saw that. Won't be returning or supporting this place again.

Yellow chicken curry, very good flavor!

This is starting to become a regular spot for us. It's hard to go wrong with some noodles, some…read morecurry, and we've become a big fan of the papaya salad. Everything comes out great, portions are huge, and they really don't skimp on quality. Service is very friendly and we've never had any problems picking up here. Would love to try out some spicier levels, maybe if the family wasn't going to chow down with me...

The name is fitting. Thai Stellar is stellar. I stopped by on a Saturday early afternoon for lunch…read more As you would expect since it's Pearland, parking isn't an issue in the free lot they share with several other businesses including TJ's Filipino. Ambiance (3.5/5): Thai Stellar is a small but nice restaurant. We were seated at a booth. I love a good both, and that is what most of the seating consists of at this Thai restaurant. Service (4.5/5): Overall, the service was quite good. Efficient and attentive. Two of the main things I look for. Drinks (3.5/5): I ended up going with an orange soda, because the da chanh, fresh lemonade, was quite pricey. I couldn't justify it. Food (4/5): I went with the combination pad see ew which comes with chicken, beef, and pork. Pad see ew is my favorite Thai dish and it is done at a high level here. The noodles are perfection. The sauce is perfection. And there's a good amount of meat. It's a little pricey though I get that you're getting three meats. That seems to be the trend at Thai Stellar. We stayed away from the satay appetizer for the same reason and opted for the more affordable egg rolls (2). Which were crispy and complimented nicely by some sweet chili sauce. Overall, excellent food. Just more than you would expect to pay at a neighborhood restaurant in the suburbs.

Small update on individual dishes during my last visit:…read more4.5/5 Pad Thai - A little dry this time around, could use more sauce but the taste was still overall good. Also wished that the peanuts were on the side rather than on the dish by default, so I'll keep that in mind. 5/5 Kao Pad - Spice level 1.5 seems wimpy, but it is perfect that way. SO extremely flavorful and the steak is so nicely cooked. Also love the tomatoes. 5/5 Ahi Tuna - I legit could go here and only get this. Everything about it is so perfect (other than the wasabi, because who invited wasabi to this perfect dish?) 4.5/5 Panang Curry - Very enjoyable, though I do wish there was more protein to the dish. 3/5 Asparagus and Crab - Kind of a disappointment. I don't think the two complement each other in any meaningful way. 3/5 Chilean Sea Bass - Chilean Sea Bass is so incredibly overrated. For the price and what we got, it simply left us wanting more of something else (I forgot what the dish is called... whoops, there is a picture) 4.5/5 Raad Prick - Plenty flavorful, though I do feel that there should be more to this dish like vegetables, but it does allow the fish to stand out.

We sat in the bar area and the music was so loud we had to yell in order to have a conversation,…read moreeven our waitress had to lean in and speak directly in our ear. It was extremely annoying and I would not return. Food and drinks were good, so maybe sitting in the dining area would be better?

Have been coming here for like 8-9 years. We used to love this place but think it has had a change…read morein management or something. The waitstaff is just not good anymore at all. We went in for lunch today, made our very typical order of chicken satay (still good), curry puffs (these have changed and they aren't any good anymore). I ordered garlic pepper chicken (decent but not the flavor it used to have) and my husband ordered chicken fried rice with extra vegetables. This is where the big issue I have happened. When his order came out it was simply vegetable fried rice, honest mistake we believed. We called the little emo waiter over where the insisted that we ordered this incorrect dish. We explained that what we really wanted was the order we thought we asked for. This young man then went and got a menu and came to show us why we were wrong and he was right. I have to admit, I kind of lost my temper a bit at this point. I told him we understand the menu as we have seen this menu countless times and we would like the fried rice with chicken and extra vegetables. He continued to explain why we ordered incorrectly, and that what we ordered was what we got. I don't know if he really understands that he is in the service industry, which means even if you think you are right, you still give the customer the benefit of the doubt. We are not difficult customers to deal with normally but, when you tell us that you're right and we're wrong, it just leaves a bad taste in our mouths. Both of us have waited tables in our younger years and both of us understand how difficult this job can be. We also understand that if a customer says oh no, this is not what I ordered. The correct response is "oh my goodness I am so sorry. Let me get that fixed for you right away. Just so I understand what it is that you wanted? Can you tell me again how you would like this prepared so I can make sure we get it correct?" Then you just go get the damn food correct!
