    Pad see ew with pork, medium spice level, dinner portion
    Anh D.

    Every time I'm craving pad see ew, I go to Mint Thai! Their pad see ew is deliciously sweet and savory. I usually get mine with pork, which is always nice and tender. The dinner portions are very generous. I almost always have leftovers to take home! The service is pretty quick, and I've never had to wait to be seated. I have heard it gets really busy during weekday lunch hours, so keep that in mind! The staff is kind and friendly, and the restaurant is clean with plenty of tables and seating. Definitely check out Mint Thai when you get the chance!

    Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodle) Crab Meat Fried Rice (Khao Pad Puu)
    Xavier M.

    Used to come here about 4 years ago when i lived around the corner. I finally returned the other day. It was just as good as i remember! Crab fried rice was AMAZING!!! pad kee mao was always my go-to, and i loved it as always. They also have a great thai tea. Nothing but good things to say about this place!!

    This is the boy's preferred thai place. He's been getting the spicy fried rice. He used to like the crispy pork with veggies. It's usually not busy when we go. I think they can accommodate 90 guests. They do have a large table for 8 that is reserved for the American Express crowd. I think they toned down the spice level because a level 4 spicy dish isn't very spicy.

    Coconut Soup (Tom Kha) with shrimp!

    Food was pretty good however atmosphere was very quiet and only two tables were dinning in, everyone else picked food up to go.

    Worm

    We came here because my son and husband ate here last weekend and thought it was great and wanted to go back. I ordered the shrimp fried rice and found a meal worm in my food. I showed it to the server and he told me it wasn't. I asked him what he thought it was and he said it was part of the shrimp and then went back to the counter and proceeded to ignore me. He had someone else drop off the check and didn't even bother to ask if I wanted to speak with a manager. I also paid for my worm infested food! I would not recommend eating here. To top it all off, it smells like sewage.

    This is my go to lunch spot whenever I'm working from home. I typically order for pick up through UberEats and they are very quick to prepare the orders. The few times I've sat down and eaten their the ladies are very nice and they have tons of space to sit. I usually stick to the same dishes but the Shrimp Pad Kee Mao and Crispy House Chicken have never steered me wrong. I would definitely recommend trying it if you haven't already.

    Pad Gra Tiem -- little to no chicken
    Jaelen W.

    I strongly dislike doing bad reviews but Mint has pissed me off for the last time. Mint Thai Kitchen - 249 location does not provide enough protein in their dishes. I've had to call them on multiple occasions because the meat portion is just not worth paying for. So, tonight I ordered Mint through door dash (normally, I don't but I couldn't leave in time to pick up). Of course the chicken portion was LITTLE TO NONE so I called to speak with someone. I was told the manager was gone for the night & no one in charge is available. Now, i'm stuck with a half ass order & they have all my money. I won't go back ever again after tonight.

    New thai place discovered for me! Really loved the ambiance and the soft music. The staff were so pleasant. They have a really extensive menu with clearly indicated gluten free options. Their spicy fried rice is really good. My friend had the Garlic Pepper Tofu which was also yummy. I look forward to trying more items on their menu.

    Pad Kra Pao Thai Style

    Don't expect a boujee high level thai restuarant if that's your expectations. This spot is low key with plenty of seating and quick service for a nice casual quick lunch or bite with others. Simple procedures: order up front at the counter, pay, sit, they bring your food, you eat it, and then you leave. There's a variety of thai dishes here. Since I'm usually here with people from our office, they always go with the pad thai or the pad see ewe, both are popular noodle dishes. The fried rice is another favorite as well. I've been meaning to try other dishes such as the yellow or green curry, tom yum soup, or the kanah muu krob pork dish. But I always go wtih the pad see ewe, pad kee mao, or pad kra pao. Something about those noodles/rice with veggies and meat and egg that keep me coming back. This is a staple amongst our office when we're in the mood for thai due to location, price, and convenience. I need to try other dishes here and venture my taste buds out.

    From the moment I walked in the staff, and the ambience made me feel welcome, the Tom Yum Goong soup was truly the best I've had in years and by itself would be worth going back for the green curry was fragrant and spicy the Tom Ka Gai soup was creamy and flavorful, although a bit too sweet for my taste but all in all it was a great experience and I will definitely be back

    Thai Green Tea (a must get)
    Megan S.

    Everything here is so good but the Pad Thai is out of this world, consistently good and don't sleep on the green Thai tea not a lot of spots offer it and it's well done here, perfect amount of sweetness. As someone who is Thai can say this spot is definitely authentic.

    The atmosphere at Mint Thai Kitchen is top-notch. There are hardly any customers here, and the ambient atmosphere pairs well with the lofi Pokemon playlist they have on the speakers. This is a great place to just chill out after a busy day. I also like that each dish marked with an asterisk can have their spiciness levels changed on a 5-point scale from 1 (wimpy babies) to 5 (based gigachads). I had the level 4 Gang Mang (red curry) with pork. Oddly, the rice was served on the side on a separate plate. In mixing the curry and rice (as I always , I risked spilling over the curry due to the uneven shape of the bowl. Would prefer to be asked if I could have the rice already mixed in before sending the dish out to me].

    Can you still get the crispy chicken? I didn't see it anywhere on their menu.

    I was there today and I believe I saw it on the lunch menu.

    My BF told me this place has incredible food for great value…read more Beef Noodle Soup - This is only $10? The value is as incredible as the flavor. Goodness, can we have one open near me? Very hearty and not too spicy. The broth is rich with a refreshing relish tang. My BF and I shared a bowl because there was no way I would've finished it on my own with everything else we ordered. Chicken Dumplings in Beef Soup - Seems to use the same broth as the Beef Noodle Soup. Not my personal favorite because the dumpling wrapper is a bit too thick, but it's a small miss considering how fond I already am of this place. Pan-Fried Pork Dumplings - How is this place making money? These things are massive and deliciously oily. There's a clean Maillard effect on the bottom that adds so much flavor. They also have an interesting fold--I've never seen dumplings shaped quite like this before. The pork flavor comes through strongly with the classic scallion combo. Steamed Bao Bun - Yaass, reliving my Chinese drama dreams. These weren't as sweet as the commercial ones, which I personally prefer. Still, I reckon this is how they tasted in those shows, so I'm stoked for the experience. Now, will I say this is the absolute best dumpling place in Houston? No--but there is something undeniably attractive about this place, and it is fundamentally delicious. It embodies one of the best versions of a classic mom-and-pop restaurant, serving homemade food that isn't perfect but reflects craftsmanship and care beyond the appeal of modern restaurants. My dumplings weren't wrapped with perfect precision, nor were they the pinnacle of healthy eating. They were just blatantly delicious--like when your mom cooks your favorite meal on a weekend night. That's why I would come back. This place represents the most authentic form of home and freedom in food. The downside of all the carbs I ate is that I had to volunteer at my local theatre afterward, and I was crashing haaaaaard while sending this place so much love.

I ended up making a second meal for later with all the food. Had a option of rice/ noodles. I wish I got the noodles. Tried friend's roasted beef noodle and wow the texture on the noodle is fantastic thick, little chewy, but felt perfect and I don't say that lightly. Pan fried dumplings - 12 of them! Pretty great for sharing. Loved it! Perfect amount of crispyness Shrimp and pork siu mai - I think it was good but to me it didn't taste fresh to me personally.

    Northern Pasta is a hole in the wall located in a strip mall in Chinatown. The parking lot is…read morespacious and relatively easy. You order at the cash register and the menu has quite a large selection of dumplings and buns. You seat yourself and there is a station with cups, a water dispenser, plates and chopsticks. The liangpi is the reason I come to this restaurant. The noodles have an amazing texture and it pairs perfectly with the bean sprouts, cucumber and cilantro. The sesame sauce brings everything together and it's amazingly refreshing and hearty at the same time. The pork leek dumplings have a delicious filling and the wrapper is very clearly handmade with a delicate chew. The pan fried buns were also quite yummy with a golden crispy bottom and fluffy exterior. My diagnosis: come here for the best liangpi and well made dumplings and buns

    Their advertisement pictures on the store front's glass got me drooling so I wanted to check it out…read morewith my boyfriend, also I'm a huge fan of northern chinese food because it's my mom's hometown. The got nice wall art too, depicting the popular dishes from the north so I had my expectation and hopes up. Service is ordinary, she speaks little English but can get by ordering, we order first at the counter the sit anywhere. Braised egg is 2 for $3.50, salty but expected since it's marinated. Came out steaming hot, and yolk was not overly cooked and dry, not bad. Starting with the Chinese hamburger I felt sad and know not to expect too much from the other dishes we ordered. First the meat look different than what others have posted before, and it was kinda dry and too salty to eat. There was no other spice, only the meat juice flavor. The bun they use was stale to eat. Traditional way of making this should be the flaky oily pancake, or at least make the buns softer to eat. The mutton stew was clear and very heartwarming to drink on a cold day. But the portion is super small for the price. The glass noodles were gone in literally two bites. I had none to share with my boyfriend. This dish come with the burger bun too that you can soak them in the soup so I guess this is the extra carb make up for the less noodles. Oil splash noodle is their specialty? It was good but didn't wowed me. Noodles are chewy and well cooked, came with lots of bean sprouts. The sauce is flavorful and actually not too oily which I enjoyed more. You can add the beef for an extra charge, it's the regular braised beef, was just ok. I find it funny that their all food arts on the wall look nothing like the actual way they serve it.

    5 Stars - Authentic Szechuan that absolutely nails the classics…read more During our short trip to Houston, as a custom, we were determined to find real Szechuan food, and luckily we found Hu's Kitchen. The location is a bit unassuming, and parking is definitely tough (the spaces are very shallow), but the second we walked through the doors and smelled the Szechuan peppercorns, I knew we were in exactly the right place. I generally judge a Szechuan restaurant by their 夫妻肺片 (Fuqi Feipian)--which they cleverly name "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" on the menu. They completely nailed it. The beef, tripe, and tendon were incredibly cohesive together, yet you could tell each component was prepared and marinated in a slightly different way to perfectly highlight its specific texture. The chili oil was right on the spot. We went through a massive bowl of rice just eating this dish alone. Honestly, if I weren't feeding a family of four, I could have just ordered that and been perfectly happy. While the Fuqi Feipian proves their skill with dry dishes, the 水煮魚片 (Fish in Szechuan Hot Chili Oil) proves their skill with wet ones. It's another must-order. The execution was flawless--we didn't just finish the tender fish chunks, we ate every last piece of cabbage soaked in that incredible chili broth. For my two daughters who can't handle the heat, we ordered the fried rice, garlic pork ribs with onion, and the 紅燒獅子頭 (Giant Meatball with Cabbage). The giant meatball was spectacular. The kids completely devoured it on their own, but I managed to steal a bite, and it instantly brought back childhood memories of exactly how this dish is supposed to taste. We also had the Dan Dan Noodles, which were great and rounded out the meal perfectly. I loved all of the dishes we tried. Should we ever find ourselves in Houston again, we will absolutely be revisiting this hidden gem.

No complaints here since we were starving from an 8 hour road trip. The Dan Dan Noodles...I had high expectations but sadly this dish fell short. I recommend Hu's Cooking to use a bigger bowl and more sauce because it was difficult to mix the noodles and the sauce wasn't...saucing, unfortunately. I wish there was more flavor in this dish. The Scallion Pancake was super over-fried and oily. See image in my review. The outer parts of the pancake were fried to a crisp and only a small circumference in the center stayed chewy. I know Chinese tends to be oily but this pancake soaked up way too much oil. Half a Peking duck: super great price for so much meat. The difficulty when eating this dish is gnawing the meat off the sharp bones of the duck. Mapo Tofu with white rice: pretty easy staple, no complaints here. Dinner on a Saturday was packed but we got seated quickly and food arrived fast.

The restaurant is located inside Jusgo grocery store. The seating is quite limited so I wouldn't recommend it for large parties. And it's pretty mom and pop, so if that's your jam, go for it.

Not many restaurants in Houston offer Takowasa, which is marinated raw octopus with wasabi; and when we find one that does, it's our must order for appetizers.

The tofu was soft and lightly battered, however the downside is that it gets soggy quickly since it's sitting in the sauce rather than on the side. For our entrees, we got the carbonara, curry tonkatsu rice, niku tama ankake, and kakuni udon. The carbonara was nice and creamy. The curry rice tastes exactly like the Japanese box curry. The niku tama is more of a thicker soup base similar to egg drop soup, however has a more slightly sweet umami flavor. The kakuni udon had a lighter broth with braised pork belly. The service was a bit slow here, but we didn't mind it too much. The interior had a cute traditional Japanese style decor. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and we'll be back to try other udons.
