Went to lunch with my girls after book shopping. The reviews led us here. Loved the atmosphere. It…read morewas dim, intimate, peaceful. The kind of place where people would keep the noise down, respectfully. We ordered a variety of food to get a good feel. The shrimp fried rice was a 10/10. The tom yum soup with shrimp was a strong 9. The whole red snapper (market price) was delicious...9/10. The chicken satay by itself was a 7 but paired with the peanut sauce that had a hint of coconut took it to a 10. And the sticky rice was a 10, I couldn't get enough. I appreciated being asked our spice preferences on each dish. For dessert we shared the mango sticky rice. It was so yummy. It's served warm and is a great treat after a good meal.

I didn't think level 2 was spicy, for me level 3 was probably the ideal spice level. I slightly preferred the pad thai over the panang curry. Overall satisfied the craving of thai food. Portions were pretty decent for price.

The staff are nice and hospitable. The interior is lovely with some gorgeous art on the walls. They play relaxing music inside too. Since it's small inside, I wouldn't recommend large gatherings here. They have a great quality of food and prices are decent. They serve you a cup of complimentary vegetable soup before you order. The lunch portions at Thai Jasmine are a hefty amount, though! Thai Jasmine have milk-boba tea, but they have a limited variety. The only desserts they have are mango sticky rice and Thai custard sticky rice. I'm definitely coming back here again.

The soup and salad were great, and then my Pad Thai came. The flavor of the noodles and meat were OK for the parts I could taste.

This was a miss, but I'd like to try it again though, because it had potential to be a great lunch spot!

Extremely disappointing experience. I ordered the pineapple fried rice with shrimp, and it was…read moreabsolutely disgusting. The rice was COMPLETE MUSH, and the pineapple had a metallic aftertaste. I flagged it right away and asked if it could be remade with noodles. No effort was made to accommodate me. I was on a working lunch, so I tried to make the best of it. All I managed to eat was the shrimp. I left virtually the entire plate of rice. When I asked for the check, I explained again that the meal was unacceptable. The response was about10% off. Roughly a dollar and some change on a 19.47 bill, bringing it down to 17.53. Then, as she handed me the receipt, the server remarked, "I gave you 10% off since you don't like the way we cook." The tone was sarcastic and dismissive. I paid because I wasn't looking for a free meal, but I did not tip. I expected edible food and basic respect. Instead, I got bad food and attitude. I won't be returning. I do NOT recommended. I REALLY HOPE I DONT GET SICK.

It's also vegetarian friendly because there are vegetable dishes and tofu is one of the protein choices. There were a lot of things on the menu that I wanted to try but this time I decided on the garlic eggplant with chicken and egg drop soup. Both were delicious, I only wish that the eggplant dish portion was a little bigger. I will definitely go back to try some more of their menu items.

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.

Food: 3.5/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 5/5 Overall: 3.7/5 My most recent visit of Nam Thai was a rare miss for the restaurant. I've gone about five times now and this was by far my least favorite experience (I still liked it, but I was a little disappointed), which was unfortunate since this was my parent's first experience here. My only issues were the food, so here's my opinion on each one we ordered: 1. Thai Tea - 4.8/5 - Definitely one of the best Thai Teas at a restaurant. Though I could still use more of the Thai Tea base flavor rather than milk, everyone at my table still enjoyed this drink. 2. Red Curry - 4.5/5 - Quite nice and had very good flavor. I don't love the addition of bell peppers in here, but that's a personal preference. 3. Pad See Ew - 3/5 - Kind of basic. Nothing made it stand out and noodles this kind of stuck together and became mushy. 4. Pad Thai - 3/5 - I've gotten this twice before, and for some reason it just tasted completely different and nothing like what Pad Thai should actually taste like. Not bad, but just not what you want when eating a Pad Thai. Noodles were also pretty mushy. 5. Steamed Fillet Snapper - 4/5 - Fairly clean and nice tasting, but just a little too plain for my taste. Still, a great option if you want something lighter for your meal. 6. Rib Eye Pepper Steak Thai Style - 4/5 - I really liked the sauce for this one and the beef was cooked very well, but the garlic they chose to put on top was extremely bitter and ruined my thoughts on the dish. I love this place, but this experience was the first time I've ever questioned going back here again. I hope this time was just a fluke.

So, when we first moved to Houston from Virginia, there was this place called ESARN THAI in the…read moreJersey Village area off Jones & West Rd, and they had the best menu ever!! Well, Covid killed their business but even before that, they just weren't really on their game for a minute. Fast forward to yesterday when we're in the Pasadena area to buy some work shirts, we're feeling a burger so we're going to the place next door but something just didn't jive when we walked in. Walk outside to drive off and see this place next door - we're always in the mood for some great Thai so wife and I decide to stop in. Man 'o man - did we hit the jackpot with this place!! The feel of this establishment is definitely a feel-good Asian restaurant that will do whatever it takes to make you feel at home. Add the fact that the chicken pad thai literally took my wife back to 15 years ago when we found our place in Jersey Village, but when I tried the chicken red curry that was really hot even at just the "number 4" factor? So sad that they apparently only have one location? We'll be coming back again and again!!

This is one of THE best Thai restaurants I've tried in Houston and honestly it's a…read morehole-in-the-wall. It's right outside the beltway on the east side of the city so it's a little harder to get to, but it's so worth it. The menu was surprisingly huge with so many good options. They don't play with their spices, so make sure you know your spice tolerance. You can't go wrong with the famous Pad Thai that they make extremely tasty here. The green beans xo sauce was phenomenal as well - whatever they coat it in really elevates the flavor and makes the vegetable much more enjoyable. I also wanted something light and hearty so I got the jungle curry. The two tone Thai tea was good, nothing extraordinary but will still satisfy you if you want a milky drink. It's essentially just Thai tea mixed with Thai green tea so if you've ever wanted them mixed together and weren't able to at other places, it doesn't hurt to try here (it's the same price as the regular ones anyway). And for the star to end the meal was the infamous mango sticky rice. By far the best I've had at any restaurant! The mango was perfectly ripe, the sticky rice was a perfect consistency, and the coconut milk was perfectly smooth. Absolute cinema. I would come back here just for this! Our server was very kind and attentive, the atmosphere was clean, and the restaurant was tidy. Highly recommend this place to everyone, it's worth the drive!

We have the mad genius, Chef David Skinner from Eculent and the ambitious Chef Jabthong "G" Benchawan Painter from Street to Kitchen. Both chefs forging a path from their native ancestry--passed down from generation to generation to bring forth today of exquisite dishes. You are invited to a place where the fireflies fly but to the most trained eye we believe in fairytales. The atmosphere was just simply enchanting and this is an honest and true story--as I hugged Chef Skinner to thank him for such an incredible experience the pearls around my neck broke...I guess you can say I was just so ecstatic that they just popped off my chest! Lollll!! I almost don't want to share photos of the special room because you should be surprised as it's part of the enchanting experience. The magic of the trees, the lights, even the turf carpet! So many tiny little details in the decor just makes this place charming and whimsical. The photo's honestly doesn't do it justice. I'll be happy to share photos of some of the food presented for our dinner and forgive me if I don't remember most of the names. But I promise you the flavors, the texture and the presentation will tantalize your tastebuds and it will leave you wondering if it was all a dream!! MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS TODAY!! Take your lady, bring your man...don't wait for any special occasion!! Allow the event itself be that special occasion for you. You will fall in love with both chefs on how they're willing to share their stories and their love of food. bon appétit

My wife and I dined here on a Thursday evening, and were sat somewhat awkwardly across from a group…read moreof three women dining together. We were the only people in the restaurant. The experience was --- interesting. As is common with tasting menu restaurants, there was a story to go with each dish presented. Also as common with this sort of thing, some dishes were better than others, and many were just okay. At $150 per person, it was on the expensive side, and I question whether it was worth that. Perhaps $100 would have been appropriate. A wine/cocktail option was offered for something like an additional $125, but everyone declined. We were filled to excess by the food, and found it difficult to imagine having space for drinks on top of that. An interesting experience, but we are unlikely to return at this price point. I think that I have decided that tasting menus just aren't my cup of tea, and I really prefer to go to a place where I can select exactly what I want.
