Our personal favorite! This Thai food is authentic and family owned. The service is great. Very friendly people who make sure you're taken care of. It's a smaller restaurant so seating can be limited and cause a wait, but the food is 100% worth that wait time. Must try: baby egg rolls, tom kha soup, curries, pad see ew, QUICK FACTS: Parking; plenty in parking lot Seating: limited Reservarions: no Bar: no Michael and Jazz review: 4.8/5 read more

Flying Tiger Thai Restaurant - Pad See Ew - Thai Near Me - Castle Hills, Texas

Our visit to Flying Tiger Thai was a bit of a mixed bag. Some things were done very well, while others just didn't come together. We started with the crab Rangoon, which turned out to be the highlight of the meal. They were folded into little pillows and fried to a nice golden brown. The temperature was perfect, and they were crispy without being greasy. The cream cheese filling was smooth and creamy, although I would have liked a little more crab. Still, a well-prepared appetizer and a good start. For my entrée, I went with the Panang curry and crispy noodles at our server's suggestion. I'd never had Panang served with fried noodles before, so I was interested in seeing how it worked. The chicken was thinly sliced, tender, and nicely cooked. Unfortunately, the rest of the dish didn't work nearly as well. The crispy noodles were hard and clumped together. There was very little curry sauce, which made it difficult to enjoy the noodles or even get a good sense of the curry's flavor. For me, the curry is what should bring everything together, and there simply wasn't enough of it. The plating caught my attention, but it also seemed to allow the food to cool off rather quickly. I appreciate a different approach to a familiar dish, but the balance just wasn't there. Service was friendly, but a little disorganized. Several servers came by to take drink and food orders that had already been placed. We found ourselves having to explain that someone had already taken care of us. When we asked for recommendations, our server quickly ran through her favorites, mostly naming items rather than explaining what made them worth trying. I would have appreciated a little more guidance, especially since her recommendation led me to something I hadn't tried before. The atmosphere was fairly ordinary. Nothing particularly wrong with the dining room, but nothing memorable either. With a name like Flying Tiger, I expected a little more personality. Overall, I saw some good technique in the kitchen. The Rangoon was fried properly, the chicken was tender, and the staff seemed willing to help. Unfortunately, the Panang curry missed the mark, and the service could have used better coordination. If you're visiting, the crab Rangoon is worth trying. As for the Panang curry, I'd consider skipping the crispy noodles based on my experience. read more

I love Thai food and love exploring new restaurants. Came here on a Friday night. They were busy, but we were able to get seated right away. Our waiter was very nice and accommodating. I started off with the summer rolls. They are freshly made when you order them. I was able to customize mine. You can either get sweet-and-sour sauce or peanut sauce with it. For my main meal, I had tofu pad Thai. It was a good portion. I was able to eat it two more times during the weekend. It tasted great. They have inside and outside seating. Parking is available on site, but it is shared with the businesses. read more

Flying Tiger offers all the Thai standards, from pad thai to curries to soups. Cute little dining room offers tables and booths. Our server Adam was friendly and prompt, explaining their heat scale (5 = be careful) and helping me pick a good Thai beer. The shrimp shumai steamed dumplings were each topped with toasted minced garlic and served with a dipping sauce. Perfect size for two to share. I ordered chicken pad thai at spice level 3 and really enjoyed the combination of sweet, heat and citrus flavors. Good portion size, and I sprinkled some crushed peanuts over the top to complement the bean sprouts and cabbage. Excellent tom kha with shrimp - although strangely, they don't offer a full-size bowl on the menu (but you can place a double order). We'll definitely be back. read more

A Splendid & Strong 4 star 1st time experience. We had the egg roll appetizer 6 egg rolls and dipping sauce they were Fabulous! My husband ordered the Pad Thai with chicken, I ordered the Basil eggplant with chicken 1= mild asked for no jalapeños. The arrivals of our food timely and Wow! Plentiful!!! My husband Loved his plate wished there were much MORE veggies as shown on menu, flavor was Great! My food was a bit of a surprise!!! A 1=mild but unfortunately that was still WWAAYY too spicy. And highly likely, I did not make myself clear on the no jalapeños. I expressed that to our waiter. He took the entree and then another waitress came & brought plate and got clarification on what would suit my buds, no spice and we took it to go as I shared my husband's entree yum. Scenario was remedied... Just would have preferred to work with our waiter, he had a Great Sweet disposition it was just a misunderstanding; he never returned we were paid out by yet another waiter. That is the reason for 4 instead of 5 stars. But this place is Great for Thai food it's worth a dine in! So check them out! We had a long day & I failed to taje photo's‍! read more

Tried out this Thai spot in San Antonio called flying tiger. It was highly rated so I thought it would be a good option. I got the pad see ew and my friend got the pad Thai. We both got mild medium spiciness but our dishes had no hint of spice at all, so we def shoudlve gotten spicy or even extra spicy. They also provide a rack of garnishes including chili oil, pickled jalapeños, a tangy hot sauce, and peanuts. These were not spicy either and were too pickled and tangy in my opinion. Overall I was disappointed as the food was very bland. read more

Went here for the first time a couple of weeks ago and had already been back twice. I also brought my very picky family who LOVED it. We got the Pad Won Sen, Garlic Noodles, and Cashew Chicken. The flavor did not disappoint. We got beef and chicken for the garlic noodles and now I can't imagine having to pick one. Wish I had photos to add but we couldn't wait to dig in. Also, Unique was amazing and really helped my family feel comfortable and made excellent recommendations for us. She didn't make us feel bad for all our questions and was happy to explain what each dish had in it. Thank you Unique!!! read more

My daughter and I had a date set to spend together and she picked Flying Tiger to try something new. We love the vibe, the music, everything! They have got to have the best lunch special I have ever seen. Most places will give you a salad or soup with the entree but they give you a half order of an appetizer! I ordered the garlic noodles with beef and swapped out for glass noodles with a medium spice level and the chicken potstickers, and everything was absolutely delicious! My daughter ordered the flying tiger chicken with the mango sauce and a side of sesame sauce and crab rangoon. She mixed the mango with the rice and put the sesame sauce on the chicken, and it was insanely delicious! The chicken was perfectly fried and the tempura was so light and crisp. And to finish it off, we ordered a Thai tea, it was really delicious. Very light, got it with coconut milk, and it was just right. Everyone from beginning to end was super friendly and gave us great service. This is definitely going to be a new spot that we frequent. read more

Best Thai food I'v yet to taste.Food was fresh, hot and atmosphere was very nice and relaxing

It's our second time dining at Flying Tiger Thai Restaurant in San Antonio, and we've really enjoyed the experience overall. The first time, we ordered some food to-go and honestly didn't like it as much, but after dining in, we realized this is food that truly needs to be eaten hot and fresh to appreciate the flavors. This time we ordered a variety of appetizers and mains: Baby Egg Rolls, Chicken Satay, Chicken Pot Stickers, Veggie Pot Stickers, Edamame, Tom Yum Soup, Tom Kha Soup, Curry Fried Rice with Tofu & Cashews, Sweet Sticky Rice with Mango, and Fresh Lemonade. The Chicken Pot Stickers were a standout, easily 5/5. They were flavorful and perfectly cooked. My friend preferred the veggie pot stickers, but I personally loved the chicken version more. The Tom Kha Soup was also very good, rich, creamy, and comforting. The Curry Fried Rice with Cashews was the only dish that fell a bit short for me. The cashews didn't taste as fresh as expected, and I'd recommend removing the peas, their sweetness didn't complement the curry rice well. The dish itself was decent but missed that bold curry flavor we were hoping for. On the brighter side, the Freshly Squeezed Lemonade was excellent, refreshing and already chilled, so we skipped adding ice. The Sweet Sticky Rice with Mango was a nice decent way to end the meal. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which added to the dine in experience. Overall, we had a great time and will definitely be coming back, but strictly to dine in rather than takeout. read more

Nice casual family friendly restaurant. About 25 tables/booths. Lots of takeout also. We each had a $12.99 lunch special. The pad thai with chicken was terrific. I went low spice but next time will spiced it up. Lunch specials come with mini appetizers. The crab rangoon were square and totally stuffed! Very tasty. Mini eggrolls were also excellent. Hubby had a nice beef with garlic noodle dish. We left stuffed and I even had leftovers. Friendly efficient staff. Greeted within 1 minute. Drinks out within 3 minutes. Super busy at noon on a Thursday. Great great service ever tho every table was full! Plenty of parking. Closed on Wednesdays. read more

Wish I had pictures to add but this place was amazing!! Great food and exceptional service. We had a party of 16 but the food did not disappoint, considering the pressure we must have put on the kitchen. Our server was very informative and made some excellent recommendations. Big shout for inquiring on any allergy concerns they should be informed of. We had one and she was able to be very accommodating. Truly appreciate the consideration. Made my daughter's bday dinner a hit. Visited 7.5.26. Will be returning! read more

Came here with friends for Thai food and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. We tried the pad Thai, Thai fried rice, coconut curry, and Penang curry--hands down some of the best Thai food I've had in a long time. The flavors were spot on, the service was great, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We also ordered the veggie potstickers, which were amazing. Such a great spot for vegetarian Thai food--will definitely be back! read more

My family and I relocated to San Antonio 13 years ago and have been unable to find a Thai restaurant that we truly like. And then, Flying Tiger opened and we have finally found a place that we love! We have been there at least (5) times, each time using carry out. Our family go-to is the pad Thai, which is spot on. The curry's are also amazing, especially the Panang. One of my favorites is the Tom Yum soup. When you are gauging your spice level, expect a little hotter than you may be used to. They are applying for a liquor license, but in the meantime you can bring your own. We don't have any food pics, because we are always too excited to eat it before we remember to take a photo!! The staff is very nice and appreciative of your business. Highly recommended!! read more

Good food but expensive and they are not accomodating. We like the panang curry with chicken and summer rolls. The sauce that comes with the summer rolls is not good. Fresh summer rolls should be served with peanut sauce. They make us pay to switch and the only option for peanut sauce is a large size for $4. I understand a small fee but $4 is ridiculous and makes 1 order over $14. read more

Absolute perfection. I have tried most Thai restaurants in town--including all the heavy hitters--and this restaurant serves up my favorite Thai food. I recommend the Tom Kha, pad woonsen with bbq pork, and the panang curry, but you can't go wrong here. Exquisite. read more

We enjoyed their luncheon specials! Lots of choices and spice levels on point. Great service too!

This is one of my favorite Thai spots in San Antonio. They have an excellent lunch menu. I personally always get the pad woon sen with fried tofu and I do also really like their cucumber salad. The service is quick and food comes out hot and delicious. There is ample parking and seating inside. Luckily I've never had to wait to be seated, everything is fast and worth every penny. read more

Flying Tiger is my absolute favorite Thai restaurant in San Antonio! I have been here multiple times and have never had a bad experience. The staff are always very friendly and communicate with you efficiently when they are busy. I also think all the dishes are very affordable as the portions are very big for what you are paying. The actual restaurant is very cozy inside and also has plenty of parking outside. Just a tip: Take a visit here for their lunch menu! It is very affordable and includes an appetizer with your meal too. My favorite dishes here are the classic *Pad See Ew and the *Pad Woon Sen. The rice dishes are also nice and I highly recommend the *Thai Fried Rice. They also have a spice scale that you can adjust to your liking for many of the dishes which is nice. I highly recommend visiting Flying Tiger Thai for a yummy, affordable meal! read more

Best Thai food we have had so far in San Antonio (to be fair we haven't had a TON). I'll be honest, when I walked in and saw no Asian people I had my reservations, but the food was great. For Pad Thai I'm looking for the right tamarind sweetness...not dry but not sickly sweet. This was really close to it, especially balanced by the heat. I like hot...but not Thai Hot. I went with the 3, and it wasn't spicy enough for me, so I had to add some from the spice tray. Would come back and try the same thing with spice 4 and update my review. And the two servers were wonderful, friendly and attentive. read more

I stop by to eat. I was impressed. Food was very good. Very nice people and friendly.

Recommend: Maybe. I've read so many great reviews about this place that I just had to try it. Service: The service is great! I came on a Friday evening and they appeared busy. I only saw two people waiting tables. I was quickly sat down and my waiter quickly came over to obtain my drink order. Soon after I was able to place my order. I stayed a maximum of an 45 mins and my waiter checked in on me frequently even thought they were busy. He maintained a joyful demeanor and welcomed everyone cheerfully. Food: I order a lemonade (freshly made) and it was delicious. I ordered the vegetable pot stickers, curry fried rice with tofu to eat there, and an order of garlic noodles with chicken to go. The vegetable pot stickers had no real taste and the texture was as if they had been frozen and reheated, the texture was gummy. I was also sorely disappointed with the curry fried rice. I'd been to Best Quality Daughter and had their curry friend rice (which is marvelous) and was packed with a lot of flavor. There was minimal curry flavor in the fried rice and it tasted a little odd. I didn't have high hopes for the garlic noodles. The next day I ate the garlic noodles and they were delicious! The chicken had so much flavor and the noodles were soft and flavorful as well . Maybe they had an off day when I went with their two other dishes. Ambiance: The place is nice, clean, and small. read more

LOCATION: Not too far off 410 on the Northside, but not the nicest location. Clean place inside with good decor, but the exterior is less appealing. DRINKS: Just had hot tea and honey, which was great. FOOD: I usually go to a restaurant multiple times before writing a review, but I'm not sure if I'll be back soon because of an interesting experience. I went for lunch and had some good appetizers: the crispy chicken potstickers, which were warm and delicious, and the fresh rolls, which were alright in taste, but the cold temperature made it less desirable for me. I had the Chicken Pad See Ew, and my friends both had the Chicken Pad Thai. Our problem was that when the food came out, it's hard to describe, but the smell reminded us of a dog's breath. As weird as it sounds, we had never experienced that before. It was a bad smell, although 2 of us tried the food, and we did enjoy it, although it was tough to get past the smell. The waiter was very nice and accommodating. He said the smell may be the fish oil, but I have eaten plenty of Thai food and never smelled that before. It may have been a fluke, but I'm not sure. The food DID taste good, and the chicken especially was well seasoned. My other friend switched his out for chicken teriyaki and fried rice. He liked it and rated about a 7/10. Overall, I will need to try it again, but that's how my experience went. read more
