    Hot Sake served for two
    Anthony ..

    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!

She worked with him to devise a substitute, and it was great! She took good care of us, was attentive and helpful with suggestions, and all around made our experience a happy one. Food is delicious but a bit pricey; noise level is pretty high. I guess it's a sign of a lotta people having a great time. Will definitely go back.

Merlion was super busy yet the service was surprisingly attentive from the entire staff despite having to park several blocks over due to the crowd! I actually came back to update this review to give a shout out to our waiter Bryan. He's been our waiter the last 5 or so visits regardless of when we come or what part of the restaurant we sit in, and he somehow manages to elevate the already fantastic experience we have. He's insightful on the menu without being pushy, remembers our unique requests, checks in on us without being too much, and strikes a great balance on engagement without intruding. I haven't been writing as many reviews as of late but Bryan's service had me dusting off the old digital keyboard. All that to say thanks Merlion, I'd say never change but over the years every change yall have made has been for the better!
