    Khao soi tasty
    Long T.

    Solid Thai food in Rice Village! After recently pivoting to a Thai cuisine, Mana serves up some tasty traditional dishes. Favs included the khao soi noodles, tiger cry beef, and the crab fried rice. Overall a great addition to the Rice Village food scene!

    Brand new thai restaurant in the village! So new it's only been here a week and they still have the old restaurants name up. It says Ma Kitchen but the restaurant has changed to Mana Thai Kitchen sign coming soon per the owner. The interior is very nice with a large wine selection it appears. Right now they are previewing their soft open menu! I played it safe and ordered my usual basil fried rice! Service was fast but I was also the only one in there loool. Now the basil fried rice tasty! Not too greasy and the ingredients taste fresh. Not mu favorite of the bunch but i'd eat it again! Overall I like it! I want to try more things on the menu!

    Nice little place in rice village. It was their soft opening when we went. Service is good at the beginning but refilled waters were rare to nonexistent unless asked. Everything we ordered was medium and it felt super mild. And I can't do much to any spicy. So... order super hot if u want spicy. Everything was pretty good overall. Would return.

    Very disappointing experience. The food did not match the menu description: the noodle soup was supposed to come with two proteins, but I received only one. When I pointed this out, the male owner responded rudely and told me to leave instead of addressing the problem. The female owner later refunded the extra charge, but the way this was handled was still unprofessional and unacceptable.

    Chicken wings and chang beer

    Chicken wings are very good. Short ribs good. Curry sauce delicious Service was Place was overall good. Would go back.

    Mango sticky rice

    I had a great experience here! The food was amazing I had the pad see ew and mango sticky rice and they were both a 10/10!!

    Corn salad the mimics papaya salad
    Dave S.

    I don't know why this does not have a higher rating. I have nothing but positives. This food is delicious. I really like the papaya salad made with corn. Light and a unique twist. The short ribs remind me of Kao soi. All the textures and flavors were on point. Duck egg roll was ok, but probably not necessary with my meal. Glad I tried this place! I'll be back.

    My wife and I recently made our decision to be active in trying new restaurants. As middle-aged but trying to be young at heart sometimes, it was habitually delayed many times so we usually end up in the same places when going out for our weekend lunch or dinner. Our first time here and it's definitely worth a second visit. We are looking to try a few more different dishes and order a few of the ones we tried today. My wife and I are bringing our young adult sons and their wife and girl friend for a try at a bigger variety for taste test To the review of Ma's Kitchen today 9/21/2025 1. Appetizer, golden chicken wings 7/5 stars, and yes it's two cuts above all the chiggen wings I have tried in any restaurant. A very very subtle sweet tamarind and garlic flavor perfectly fried and glazed....there was no flour so it went down not too heavy for fried wings. They were big and plump sized.. Keeper for next visit 2. Singapore noodles upgraded to shrimp protein was also excellent 5/5 . Would have preferred a bit more green onions but my palate on this may be abnormal for the greater population. A keeper as well 3. Roar and sear (tiger cry in other places) 2/5. Not worth $35 imo. Portion was small. Ordered med rare but came out close to well done. Not as tender bc it was over cooked. I like Osha on Westheimer much better. 4. Ma's short rib noodles: 5.5/5 stars. Fall off the bone tenderness. Flavorful light coconut cream curry . A keeper. I am very surprised that this restaurant was empty at lunchtime Saturday

    Lamb elegance, short rib noodles
    Samantha T.

    Ambiance/decor was nice and unexpected, as that strip is in need of a refresh. Service was excellent (we were the only table for dinner) and server was very attentive. Food was tasty and special. We tried the chicken wings which I would definitely go back for, saucy, tangy, crispy fried basil was a nice touch. Lamb dish was a little undercooked (lamb was quite rare) but curry and rice were very unique, and dish was pretty. Short rib noodles were also very tasty and unique. I had a white sangria which was on the sweeter side but very refreshing. Would go back to try other items!

    My friend's boyfriend chose this place to surprise her for her birthday dinner. He figured it was new and we hadn't tried it yet. It was very empty for a Wednesday night, but this place is also new so no one probably knows about it! It was super spacious and really clean. Our host/server was really nice to us the whole time and super accommodating when we told him it was her birthday :) we ordered a beef tartare, which was actually really good and I normally don't really like that. My favorite dish was the pork belly and it reminded me of Indian food because it had like naan to eat it with. The second favorite was the basil fried rice with tofu (there are other meat options if you would like that!). We also ordered a noodle dish I believe that had beef? It wasn't my personal favorite, but my friends really liked it because they reminded them of a Vietnamese dish. We also ordered a sort of duck wrap. Sorry, I'm blanking on the names! Overall, I would return back to this restaurant to try more things :)

I've only got to-go from here once, and from what I remember, the wait wasn't too bad. The parking is quite difficult since the lot is so small. To share, we got an order of crispy veggie spring rolls and a bowl of tom kha with chicken. Both always hit the spot. Some Thai spots make tom kha too salty but I think this one is seasoned well. We also ordered pad see ew and pad woon sen with tofu. So delicious! The portions are pretty generous, so we had a good amount to take home.

    I went into this restaurant with a big group. I ordered a thai iced tea and a pad see ew…read more Pad See Ew - It was very soft, sweet, and smoky just the way I like it. I ordered it with beef, and the beef was very tender and not dry at all. Furthermore, the overall dish has the wok hay flavor and was one of my favorite pad see ews I've ever had. Thai Iced Tea - it was your average thai iced tea where it wasn't mixed at first(which I think is a sign of authenticity!) and sweet at the perfect level with condensed milk. What makes this a four star was that the service was a little iffy in my opinion. Even though we were in a large group which makes it harder for waiters to order, the waiter stared at one of my friends and started mumbling despite him already ordering which made it pretty awkward.

When you come in, wait to be seated, order and pay at the table. 2. Price - approximately $15 a plate. 3. Ambiance - Classy restaurant. I love the white linen on the tables. Soft music, white and red walls with Thai decor. Natural lighting during the day with warm interior lighting. It appears that there has been a makeover to the restaurant. I like the new look more. It seems more upscale in appearance. Dress code here is business casual. 4. Food - I've had their YELLOW CURRY WITH CHICKEN AND WHITE RICE. Curry is a bit sweet to my liking, but overall, it was a good meal. Will have to try other dishes next time. Food presentation is nicely plated. Not messy or sloppy. 5. Cleanliness - dining area is clean. The waitstaff keeps this place in tip top shape. The only complaint I have, although not exactly about cleanliness, I would suggest that management take a look at the lock in the men's restroom. Although it was locked, someone was able to enter still. SUMMARY This is a petite Thai cafe. Everything about this place was enjoyable. I would definitely come back to try again and will highly recommend this place.

It's cute from the outside, and as soon as you walk in, you're warmly welcomed by both the waitress and waiter. Once seated, they were quick with drink orders and attentive throughout service was impeccable...For food, I ordered my go to Tom Kha Kai, along with the crab wontons from their happy hour menu. The Tom Kha had a lighter, more watery base than the rich coconut flavor I'm used to. I know this can vary by region, so it wasn't bad, just not my personal preference...The cream cheese crab wontons were decent and nicely presented. They also served a complimentary appetizer, which was a fun surprise, a taco shaped fried wonton wrapper filled with cabbage and their house dressing...Overall, if you're looking for a quick Thai bite with excellent service, this place works. I'm giving it 3.5 out of 5 not because it's bad, but because the flavors didn't quite match what I personally look for. For what it is, it's solid. -- Pilgrim Sojourner

    This restaurant shares a parking lot with the Hobbit Cafe so space can be a little tight/limited…read more Despite it being a Friday night, my friend and I were able to be seated right away. For drinks, I got the Mekhong Mojito and it was sweet and refreshing! For appetizers, we got the crispy squid and the crispy wonton- crispy squid was good but if you had to choose between the two, get the crispy wonton! As for the entree, I ordered the Khao Soi with shrimp and my friend ordered the spicy red snapper. The curry broth with coconut milk was fragrant and with the toppings that came on the side (i.e. lime, onions/shallots, mustard greens, etc) enhanced the dish. The flat egg noodles were bouncy and the shrimp was solid. If you're stuck between choosing a curry dish and a noodle dish, get the best of both worlds and order the Khao Soi! As for my friend's spicy red snapper, I tried a bite and the spices/texture in the dish complimented the fish very well. For dessert, we ordered the classic Mango Sticky Rice! The mango was soft/sweet, the rice and sauce had that salty coconutty flavor. Aside from the delicious food, the interior is cozy and the waiters here were friendly and gave great advice on what to order. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and are craving good thai food!

They have that street food vibe as a well representation of their name, Rim Tanon, which means roadside. With dedicated parking that fills up quick during peak times, it may be difficult to locate parking as it is shared with a few other restaurants and the spaces are quite tight. We tried their appetizers including Salmon Rolls (flavorfully packed with cream cheese, salmon, and spinach in a crispy shell and loving that actually spicy mayo on the side), Thai Style Jerky (deep fried and sun dried marinated pork and beef served with sticky rice rolls and side spicy tamarind sauce, a bit too dry/chewy), Fried Tofu (perfect little triangles, so good by itself or with the side sweet and sour sauce with crushed peanuts), Chive Pancake (deep fried and chive packed triangles with a slight chew to it, great by itself or with it's spicy soy sauce companion). As for the mains, the Spicy Seafood Fried Rice is a good value as it was loaded with all sort of fruits of the sea (shrimp, squid, and mussel), with prominent lemongrass and kaffir lime aroma, but a bit wet or moist for a fried rice dish, the Crabmeat Omelet is served with a nice portion of lump crabmeat where you can taste the flavor of the seafood and add sriracha to liking, and the Beef Pad See Ew is made appetizing with wok charred flat rice noodles along with a savory blend of soy sauce, Chinese broccoli and egg. The portion size is alright and filling for a moderately hungry individual, though it would've been even better a tad bigger for those coming in hangry. I'll be back for more when I'm craving some modern Thai food and especially want to try their curry dishes. Service was quick and efficient, attentive to refills on drinks and friendly!
