I love Morningside Thai. They are my go to Thai spot! Amazing Pad Kee Mao!!! Their drinks are delicious!

The food is delicious, Ive had several different things from appetizers to soup to curry, etc, and its all been delicious! Parking is great. The staff is always super nice and friendly. read more

I made an order through UberEats, so cannot speak to the ambiance and service of the restaurant in person. I ordered the Pad Thai, crispy veggie egg rolls, and fried bananas for dessert. The order itself was cooked and arrived in a speedy manner, so that's good. However, I found the actual taste of the food a little lacking. The Pad Thai was strangely dry. Usually at most Thai places, the pad Thai is slippery with sauce and oil, which is how it is intended to taste. This Pad Thai almost felt like it had been reheated? I had tofu as my protein, and it was extremely dry and difficult to chew. The portions were also not that large for the amount of money you're paying. Notably, the spice level is good though! It matches correct levels of Thai spicy, which means that a medium is a hot, hot is unbearable, and anything above that is at your own risk The crispy veggie egg rolls tasted fine, no complaints there! I actually forgot to take a photo because I ate them first haha. The fried bananas were really soggy. Usually fried bananas are crispy, because the contrast between the creamy banana inside and the crunch of the outside batter is what makes this dessert so delicious. I also found the batter very bland and tasteless. It was difficult to eat. Even with the honey, it felt like I was just eating flavorless dough :( Three stars for the egg rolls, edible food, and fast delivery. However, I don't think this will be my go-to for Thai food in the area. read more

Solid spot for Thai! Got the seafood curry (shu-shee) and the rad na (I think that's what it is called). Both were good and flavorful! Friendly service! Plenty of parking! I'm very impress with the amount of to-go orders they had on a Sunday night. read more

This was my second time coming here in years. This experience was definitely better in taste. I ordered the Red Curry with chicken, 3/4 spicy. Very delicious, full of chicken n bamboo shoots, good basil vibe, great thickness in sauce and ideal sweetness to savoriness ratio. Rich to an extent, but wasn't overdosed with heavy cream and excess sweetness like more Americanized Thai places in the city. It was more on the authentic side and balanced very well. The spiciness was great with some tongue tingle to it, but didn't cover up the aromas or other ingredient flavors. Good service as well. I plan to eventually try their basil chicken fried rice on a future visit. read more

Small Thai spot with decent food and cozy vibes. I ordered the chicken Pad See Ew (spicy) and pad Thai and it was delicious. The noodles weren't overly greasy however the spice level was milder than I thought. The broccoli was way too big I think it should've been cut into smaller pieces. I went during the week and the service was decent quick and straightforward. The atmosphere is simple, nothing fancy. I also tried the fried banana, and it was surprisingly good. The honey gave it that pop to the flavor of it. It's a casual spot and if you like Thai food I would definitely recommend this spot. read more

Such a cute little restaurant near the Med Center. It's so busy here at lunchtime, but food comes out very fast. I got the lunch special sweet basil, which was so so delicious. Usually lunch special is a smaller portion but this is definitely a generous portion! I thought it was a little on the saltier side, still love it though! I also got Thai tea, absolutely amazing! I can't wait to come back and try other dishes. read more

Love this place. We got pineapple fried rice with crispy pork and phrik king with jumbo shrimp. I've gotten this fish before and it's usually with pork and green beans. This version has jumbo fried shrimp and asparagus. The sauce is top tier. I will be coming here every time Im in Houston. read more

I do appreciate that they offer plenty of vegetarian options, and the menu is pretty easy to navigate with lots of add-on choices. The curry was probably the best thing I tried. The flavor was there, with a nice level of spice and good texture. (I also liked this heart-shaped rice) That said, the portion felt a bit small for a green curry, and for a vegetarian dish it was pretty limited on mostly green beans and carrots. I was hoping for a bit more variety and volume. The appetizers didn't really stand out or add much to the table. It's a small place, but we had a large table and service was efficient (I do appreciate that). We came on a busy Sunday and there were lots of takeout orders going out. Overall, from our group's consensus, it was an okay Thai spot near this area of Rice Village. I'd need to try more of the menu to give it a more complete take, but for now it was just fine.. Not bad, but we've definitely had better. read more

We had some food delivered and as usual it was amazing. My wife enjoyed a medium order of wonton soup. We split some tiny eggrolls that were very good. I enjoyed some chicken pad thai. You can order different levels of spicyness and I went with hot...it was almost too spicy for me but it was too tasty to quit. Both of us had enough leftovers to make another meal. read more

The food was delicious and the service really great! We ordered the drunken noodles and shrimp yellow curry! I will definitely come back!

Lovely neighborhood restaurant. Food is fresh and great options. Wait time can vary due to to-go orders or amount of dine in guests. The employees are always friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. read more

I was craving their eggplant but as I perused the menu, I decided to get the yellow curry with tofu from the lunch menu. You get a vegetable egg roll and a small soup first. The yellow curry was still spicy though I ordered it mild. I then ordered a Thai tea to go. It's $5.40 and I didn't enjoy it. It's mostly milk. It needs more tea. I won't be getting the tea any more. read more

Love this restaurant! The amount of vegetarian and gluten free options is incredible. I absolutely love the soft spring rolls with tofu and the pad se-lew is absolutely delicious. I do wish that when ordering from DoorDash you could specify that you want your order to be prepared gluten free. I have dined in a few times and each time the service was great. Give this place a try if you want some delicious Thai food! read more

Always love the pumpkin curry and tom yum noodle soup! Good small shop with a friendly host.

Our waiter (Andrew... who is also the manager) greeted us and one of the first things he requested was that we don't eat on the menu. What?! Who actually says that to guests coming to your restaurant? ONE, we give the menus back after our order has been taken and TWO, the menus are laminated so it would be a very easy clean. We ordered our appetizers and also ordered the lunch specials which came with soup and an egg roll. Andrew asked us if we it was okay on top of our appetizers that we ordered. We knew what appetizers we wanted and it was definitely not the appetizers that came with our lunch special. Why would he question us about our order when we are bringing business to this restaurant? We are not from the Houston so when we are in the area, we love to try new restaurants and we always order big. Lastly, when we finished our main course, Andrew asked us if there was anything else on the menu we would like to order and my husband said, "I don't know because you took out menu from us". Andrew did not offer to show us a menu so we had no idea if the restaurant offered desserts or if we would have liked to have drinks to go. I'm sorry, but we would never visit this restaurant again all because of Andrew. Which is sad because Thai food is one of our favorites. read more

Another restaurant near my physical therapy clinic. It's hidden on the side of the complex and the only reason I knew it was there was because my husband pulled into the parking lot at the wrong entrance. I wanted some tom kha soup this time, so off we went after my therapy appointment. I ordered online and chose the "curbside delivery" option. We parked in front of the restaurant so as to be clearly visible. I made sure to enter our make and model like the form asked. We kept seeing other patrons going in and out collecting their food but five minutes past our delivery time, there was still no sign of ours. My husband went inside to see if our order was ready. He said the guy behind the counter just shoved a bag at him and promptly disappeared into the back. I had ordered a drink and there wasn't one to be seen. My husband had to open the bag. He found my plastic drink cup at the bottom underneath the hot food. It had been an iced tea at one point but now was partially melted. My husband said it felt like our order had actually been ready for a while before he went inside to collect it. What was the point of offering to bring our food to our car if no effort was going to be made to do so? That annoyance aside, the meal itself was pretty good when we got home: - The soup was creamy and flavorful with large pieces of chicken and a TON of mushrooms. I had ordered it mild so that I could share it with my mom who can't handle spicy food well. She said it was perfect. - The shrimp crispy roll appetizer wasn't bad, though it wasn't overly exciting either. It tasted good but I ran out of sweet and sour sauce before the end. Next time, I'd order an extra cup. - I also decided to try the Pad Pett with pork. It sounded interesting with a combination of green beans, bell pepper, basil, onions, bamboo shoots and egg plant. This turned out to be a real winner! Since it was just for me, I went ahead and ordered it at medium spice level. It was just on the edge of what I can tolerate heat wise which was perfect. Served with a carton of rice. Though, like with the sweet and sour sauce, I ran out of rice before the end. I still have more Pad Pett leftover so I'll need to get extra rice next time, too. - For dessert, I ordered this thing the menu called a coconut pancake. I wasn't really sure what I was going to get. By the time I got into that box the food had cooled down significantly so I'm not sure what it would have looked like if eaten right away. The dish consisted of nine little soft dumpling-looking items that had a layer of batter (?) poured over them and possibly fried? I'm not really sure. However, the inside of the dumplings was a deliciously sweet and creamy coconut mixture. Very addicting! - The one item I didn't care for so much was my (half melted) drink. It was a butterfly tea with lime. I've never had butterfly tea before but I've seen pictures and was eager to try it. The flavor was...not what I was expecting. The first sip tasted like regular southern sweet tea, but then I was hit with a very strange aftertaste of vegetable water. I stirred up my drink but it didn't really improve the flavor. I don't know if it's supposed to taste that way, but I didn't really enjoy it. It's unlikely I'll order it again. Though there were a few delicious items and more I'd like to try off the menu, the restaurant location is again rather far from my house. I don't regret stopping by, though. read more

I can never say enough good things about this restaurant. There's great parking, great service, and great food and drinks! Every time I come here, I leave very full and happy :-) This time I came as a group of 4 so got 4 different dishes. The pad see ew is one of my go to noodles and got it with tofu this time, which went really well with the noodles. It is my favorite noodle dish to get. Very flavorful and delicious. Next was the yellow curry. It has a pretty low spice and is a pretty standard good tasting curry. We got it with shrimp inside which was a fun addition to the curry. Next is the kee mao fried rice. This dish always suprised me with its explosive flavor. It is soooo delicious and has a great basil flavor. It does have a bit more spice to it but it perfectly matches the dish. It goes well with the shrimp, which are large and tasty. Last was the eggplant basil. It was drenched in this delicious, salty sauce that I love. I could probably just eat the sauce and rice and be happy haha. The eggplant and other vegetables are cooked well and its a great vegetable dish to get. All in all these dishes are always perfect for sharing and super affordable prices as well. I love coming here and will keep coming back!! read more

Good parking lot. Small restaurant I don't think this would be a good spot for a party over 4 or 5 people. But for date night it's Amazing! Menu is really big and lots to choose from. Everything came out in timely manner. Friendly service. We got shrimp fried egg rolls, 2 HUGE PORTIONED entrees, and a milk tea. Total came out to $49 and that's a good date night price for us. The coconut milk tea was one of the best I ever had. The beef was very flavorful. Can't wait to come back! read more

I was looking around for a good crab fried rice. After scanning yelp reviews I settled on this one as a takeout. I ordered no spicy. And they sent a small cup of spicy sauce separately. I was glad that they did. No spicy was fine but a little added spice kicked it up a notch. They included a slice of lime that I squeezed over the crablump. Real crab, not imitation which is what I was searching for. The baby egg rolls nu.bered 10..were crispy and tasty with a little .minced beef. A side cup of Asian sweet sauce was included. I enjoyed the meal and ate it in two days..the serving was plentiful! read more

A friend recommended this place, so we came for dinner! It was soooo good. They have a huge selection of food and drinks to choose from. Literally. I saw boba signs on their door that I initially walked past it bc I thought it was a boba shop LOL! Pretty small inside but we had no issues with seating as a group of 7. Got the classic pad se-iew with chicken. It was sweet and savory, just how I like it. I got to share the pad kee mao with my friend, spice level hot with pork as our meat, and it was AMAZING. It tastes like pad se-iew with all the great flavors, but you get the extra kick from the spices. I'll definitely get this dish again and again. Pork was softer compared to the chicken. Hot was pretty spicy but bearable enough to eat without sweating or panting haha. Food looked, smelled, and tasted awesome. Forgot to take pics before digging in!! I also got to try a sip of my friend's Thai tea and it was legit!! Our server checked in on us every now and then. At the end he rang us up individually with the portable credit card reader. Gratuity was already included in the check and then they asked for more tip on the screen. The total for my dish was around around $19. Parking is plenty! read more

I didn't have a good experience with Morningside Thai. I ordered my favorite- soft spring rolls with tofu and peanut sauce. I have a favorite restaurant for this dish but it is close to my work- not home. Well, the soft rolls were tasteless and very overpriced compared to my favorite restaurant for this dish. I'll not stray again! read more

I enjoyed a tasty meal here on a surprisingly busy afternoon. The Thai toast appetizer was crunchy and unique - a deep fried toast with chicken, shrimp, onions, peanut sauce, and a side dish of veggies. The Panang curry, which I got with pork, was flavorful and voluminous enough to last me for a couple meals even as a voracious eater. The heart-shape rice is a cute touch as well. My friends got the noodle dishes which they found tasty, as did my friend who got the Tiger Cry dish, which reminded me of a Thai twist on fajitas as it came out on a sizzling platter. However, they weren't sure if the cut of meat matched what was listed on the menu. Service was prompt even though there were a seemingly endless number of to-go orders which is always a good sign. Tucked inside an unassuming strip mall close to the hospital, the indoor ambience was pleasant and the carpeted floors muffle the chatter of nearby tables. Parking was easy as well. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a Thai food place with an ample menu in this part of town. read more

I ordered through a delivery service. I ordered the green curry and the baby eggrolls. The baby eggrolls were definitely baby but very delicious, and made a nice appetizer/snack.

This is my go-to local Thai place! They have a great lunch deal ($9.95 for a selection of popular dishes plus an egg roll) but also very reasonably priced for dinner. I've always been able to get a table even though it's a pretty small space with mostly two and four-top tables. Service is pretty simple and they have always been kind. I've also ordered catering for an event from here and they were able to prep everything with relatively short notice (I talked to them about it less than 24 hours in advance and called it in morning-of and they still accommodated!) - we got pad thai, green curry (came with plenty of rice!) and basil chicken and everything was delicious and packaged perfectly for transport with spice on the side. Highly recommend! read more

The food is great- always fresh, hot, and flavorful. One of my favorite spots to grab a healthy kid's meal and delicious boba.

Morningside ties one of my favorite restaurants in the area. I've been going here for the past five years and it rarely ever disappoints. My favorite dish is the Pad See Ew but I've had a decent selection of appetizers and entrées to say that the food is prepared well and with care. The parking is great, and there's a limited selection of tables for anyone who wishes to dine in. The servers have always been kind and attentive. read more

Really good food here. Tried them after the gym one evening and have been coming back ever since. There's a young lady who works there who's very attentive and provides great service. The space is perfect to dine in for a quick bite or share a family meal as we often do when eating Thai. They seem to always be booming up until closing with customers dining in or online orders. That says a lot about their food. read more

Got the pat pet w/ shrimp, a side of steamed rice, mango and sticky rice for dessert, and a thai tea! i am blessed! Spice level 1 was a lil spicier than other 1's I have tried at other Thai eateries. The flavors were why Thai is my fave! The eggplant in my dish was perfectly cooked, not too smushy. The green beans were crisp and the bamboo shoots bambooey. lol. The entree was enough for some dinner as well and i still have to eat the mango and sticky rice but that will be breakfast. read more
