Morningside Thai - Thai Near Me - Houston, Texas

Crispy garlic chicken is good. About a 7/10. I wish it was crispier. The fresh rolls are great! The pad Thai is not great for me. The spice level was there which I loved but the peanut flavor and others were lacking. I will I say I prefer the northern Thai style of pad Thai too so might just be a preference. I'd give it a 4/10. Really great service and would go back to try other dishes. read more

Tried this neighborhood staple with a takeout order and really enjoyed it (came back a few days later for more)! The Tofu and Vegetable Soup really hit the spot with a generous helping of piping hot silky tofu pieces. With the likely addition of fish sauce, ginger, and lemongrass, the soup was super flavorful and didn't taste like just salt. I was pretty satisfied just eating that for my dinner but I wanted to sample the Chicken Porridge that I also ordered... which turned out to be a mistake because it was so tasty that I ate the giant quart of porridge as well (X_X)! The porridge is different than the usual zhou/xifan/jook, as it is cooked with broth and flavored with lots of bright flavors. It didn't need anything on the side (like the usual side dishes or condiments). The dishes were still hot when I got home, so it was a great meal during a dreary evening! The Mince Pork Basil Bowl tasted super-basil-y with just the right amount of sweet, salt, and heat-- totally a treat with the sauce soaking up in the rice! I was a bit disappointed that the pork was mostly all little fat pieces instead of ground meat. Flavorful, yes, but definitely not healthy which is what I was trying to go for :( It would be better if they describe it accurately on the menu as to not mislead customers. The menu is pretty extensive, spanning your usual Thai curry mainstays as well as noodle/rice dishes and salads. The ambiance inside is a little stale; don't expect anything fancy, but the staff seemed friendly from my two visits. Plenty of seating and parking. I'm excited to return and try some of the other dishes in the future! read more

They have good food, services and I love their lactose-free option for the Thai Milk Tea

We ordered take out and the food was amazing. Green curry, basil fried rice and Pad Thai was A+. Rating should be higher based on business in my opinion. read more

Little spot by the hospital. Fairly busy. Husband is a bit on the picky side but he said the food was very good. We had drunken noodle, moo ping and peanut chicken with iced butterfly tea. I really liked the tea. Both food and service were great! We come to Houston often and we will be back. read more

Amazing food as always! Also very speedy with to go. Classic spot for the area. Usually get the pad se ew

I stopped by to get something to eat before work, it was around 430pm, there was but one person sitting at the table. I sat down on table for two as the dinning hall was wide open and the server asked me to sit at a smaller table. Mind you this is a small restaurant and there tables are for one or two pretty much. I thought it was rude considering it was not during busy lunch or dinner(do they even get that busy?) anyways, lost my appetite, left and went to eat at Gorditas Y Tacos. Too bad, they lost money bcs I don't just order one side dish and sit there, I really do eat for like three. Don't think I will be dinning there anymore... read more

I hate to write this because I loved ordering from here. Especially since the food is consistently good. I ordered Morningside Thai today, 3/3/2025. My mom and I got our usual order tom yum shrimp, Thai cucumber salad, and 2 drinks. As I was about to eat the tom yum soup I noticed a cockroach in my soup. I am beyond disgusted. I feel nauseous and upset. I am contacting the restaurant tomorrow as soon as they open. I want a full refund. read more

Morningside Thai - Tom Yum Shrimp - Thai Near Me - Houston, Texas

The food at this tiny restaurant is terrific. I recommend that you get takeout. It has zero ambiance, but the people who run it are very nice. read more

First let's talk the ambiance. It's so cozy and homey feeling, from the looks they do not pick cheap decor and they have dozens of living, thriving plants growing. I've been here several times and the service is great, staff is knowledgeable of the menu and what substitutions are possible, very accommodating. The food is excellent, I've tried the fried dumplings, pad thai, wonton soup, and curry soup. It's authentic Thai with a lot of Americanized options. And their tea menu is incredible. Where in Houston can you get good $5 tea?? Best Thai tea around, sometimes I come here just for the tea. 10/10 Thai spot read more

I ordered delivery as I broke my leg. I got the fresh garden rolls, chicken wings and mango and sticky rice. This lasted me 2 days. The mango and sticky rice was fabulous! The mango was perfectly ripe and there was a side of warm coconut milk to pour over everything. The sauces for everything were delicious too! read more

Super cute, affordable, and clean Thai restaurant! We had the curry noodles with chicken and crispy shrimp prik king, both were great, shrimp was a tad bit salty, but would definitely order the curry noodles again! It's not like kao soi, which is great because I don't really care for it, but more like red curry with flat rice noodles and bean sprouts--my fave! The servers were so attentive and kind, and they even gave us a little Christmas trinket! Would recommend and for sure come again! read more

I love this place the mil tea and pad Thai is so good easily one of my favorite restaurants in Houston

We are visiting from California, we were looking for food starving stage I was a bit hesitant to eat here after reading the reviews. Let me tell you this place not only has the best food but also the service is amazing. Must try read more

I had the most unexpectedly pleasant experience today at Morningside Thai. I work in the medical center and the doctor's office I was doing a lunch meeting with requested Morningside Thai. We called in a 15 person order at 11:15 for a 1:30 pickup and they were more than happy to help me. The lineup was impressive; including platters of crab fried rice, shrimp drunken noodles (pad kee mao), spring rolls, a vegetarian noodle dish and more. The staff was super professional over the phone and made it easy to pay for all the food before pickup. When I arrived, I was greeted with gratitude. They really appreciated my business and added in a free sticky rice and a TOO DIE FOR iced Thai tea. The brother and sister duo running the show even helped me walk out to the car with all my food. They mentioned to me that they are from Thailand and even make requested food that isn't on the menu. The food was well packaged and not a single dropped spilled in my journey into the medical center. The staff was so pleased with the food- it was tasty, warm, different and on time. I highly recommend giving this place a try- a friendly reminder to check the spice level when you order if you are sensitive to spice. read more

Always great service and delicious food. Perfect for lunch and / or dinner. Very cozy and comfortable atmosphere.

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!!! The food is so yummy!!! Highly recommend most things, but especially the chicken satay!

I really wanted to like this place but was left feeling just meh about it. I tried the chicken pad Thai and egg rolls which were both ok. I thought the pad Thai needed a huge boost of tamarind flavor, and I would have liked more vegetables in the dish. Also, we ordered no spice in our pad Thai but got a super spicy dish. They did give a decent portion of noodles and chicken which was nice. The egg rolls were better - nice and crispy but made mostly of the wrapper with little filling. Delivery took a while so be sure to order ahead to save time if you're wanting to try this restaurant out. This place has promise but could use a few improvements to really shine. read more

Morningside Thai - Chicken pad Thai, egg roll - Thai Near Me - Houston, Texas

Cute local place. Been going here since I moved to Houston. They moved locations about 10 years ago & the place lost some charm. Food is good, but some days is better than others. I always thought that they might make the curry pastes every other day or so & that one day 2 flavors are better? Not sure, but it definitely can be ok or really good. It's three stars because of the lack of consistency. read more

Took a chance on this restaurant by our hotel bc it had good reviews and it was close. Small place, cute inside...the front door had a revolving bunch of patrons picking up food to go. Also a bunch of diners inside....it was bustling. Everything we ordered was tasty and everything we saw come out of the kitchen looked great at other tables. We'll eat here again and will try a few more things that looked tasty on neighbor's plates. Also plenty to take home for leftovers. We could have feed at least 3 of us....rather than 2. read more

very homey and darling, great ambiance for lunch! we had the pad thai and massaman curry and both were great!

EDIT. Still overpriced for the amount of food and compared to nearby places but the dishes which are basically stir fry, like the Thai Garlic dish, come with good sauces. When I'm nearby and craving Thai, I'll get a simple dish. I've come here many times and it's just ok. The prices are certainly too high. A bowl of one of the common Thai soups is $14 and it's not even filled to the top. They use regular mushrooms in the Tom Kha Gai soup that you can get from any grocery store and not the ones that are usually in Thai soups. The soup is bland. There is not a lot of flavor like I'd expect and get at other Thai places. The fresh spring rolls have the crunchy bitter part of iceberg lettuce and that takes away the flavor. All you taste is the lettuce. The panang curry doesn't have a lot of flavor. It's bland. The dish comes with green beans, which I've never seen in a panang curry. Panang curry usually has red and green bell peppers but theirs does not. The Pad Thai is good although I ordered tofu and chicken and only got tofu on a to-go order. The service is great. It's usually not crowded so the employees are attentive. read more

Food is amazing! The mixture of spices is delicious! Staff is very friendly and attentive.

This small strip mall eatery didn't disappoint! I walked past the few outdoor tables to the inside as it was my first time here. Upon entering I was impressed by the delicious kitchen smells and how clean it appeared. Most the tables were filled as it was lunchtime. From my table I could see what others had ordered and it looked so good. I placed my order for grilled moo ping and Tom kha shrimp soup. The soup came first, nice size shrimp, good portion for a cup, great flavor. Next was the moo ping served with sticky rice. It was the bomb! I loved the sauce as well. I can't wait to go back to try more! read more

I'm usually a fan of this spot, but the food preparation has been very inconsistent lately. And my order today was so hot (spicy) it was inedible. I know heat is subjective, but they really went overboard today, and in prior orders "Hot" has been mild, and today I ordered the curry "Hot" again and it was so hot I could not eat it, I had to though it out. Living in Houston most of my adult life I am used to heat, mexican, cajun, thai, etc. All I ask is that your labeling be more consistent. When a customer who has been a long time fan is throwing out your food this is not good. read more

Completely wrong item and definitely not tasty. Ordered lemongrass chicken, extra extra extra spicy, and got cashew chicken, bland to say the least. This was an Uber eats order, but although the driver couldn't find my condo, it wasn't her fault with the item. It came in a sealed bag with my name and receipt on bag. Receipt stating lemongrass chicken, so restaurant pit wrong item in the bag. read more

A good Thai restaurant with a very nice menu. They have nice service and good food (B)

So we usually get Doordash delivery or take out from here and it's been a pleasant experience overall.. so this weekend we decided to eat dine in with the kids. When we arrived, there was nobody in the restaurant (this was around 530pm), and we were told to wait for a table (when every table was available). A couple arrived a few seconds after us and they were basically seated immediately. We finally got a table situated with a high chair. When we ordered our meal, my wife requested the chili-lime sauce that we frequently get on delivery apps and was told they don't sell that for dine-in and it's an UberEats exclusive (HUH??). They said they would have to charge the UberEats price for the sauce (why can't you guys just say the sauce cost extra..? we would have been okay paying for it). After some back and forth, they came back from the kitchen mentioning that they no longer sell the sauce. The server/host (a youngish guy with glasses) was not very accommodating of my wife's request and insisted that there was no such sauce or it was being axed from the menu (this is completely false as I'll describe later). Okay fine, no sauce... so we go about ordering our food. We weren't super hungry so I ordered a small soup with a thai tea and my wife ordered a soup entre to share with the kids and our friend ordered a curry entre. The server passively aggressively asked if that's all we were ordering when I feel like there was no mention of a minimum order amount and something like a minimum order shouldn't even exist at a restaurant like this. Also, when I asked for less ice, he mentioned the Thai tea would not have the glass full. The server/host was just very combative with every request we made and was a very frustrating experience for everyone. Water was not provided even after the Thai tea was served and we had to re-request the water. Also refills were offered only after we already finished our meal and had empty glasses for the majority of the meal (I had to take water from my kids' cups...). Unfortunately, our out-of-town friend had offered to pay so I had no control over the tip, but for SURE, we would have probably opted for 10% or even no tip because our experience was so strange and uncomfortable on this particular night with this particular guy. I'm not sure if he just had a bad day or what. We don't appreciate being lied too about the sauce either -- we literally just ordered the sauce along with an entre tonight on DoorDash and RECEIVED THE SAUCE, so please next time don't lie to your customers about a product that 1) you DO have at the restaurant and 2) you should be able to sell to dine-in customers?? I have never heard of a delivery exclusive menu item..... I've seen what I presume to be the owner or restaurant manager during takeout pickups and presume none of this would have caused an issue if she was there on that particular night. In terms of food, I think the majority of stuff is quite decent. I would say the curry is a bit watered down to some extent, and the crab fried rice I wish had more flavor / mixed up more as it was more or less just white rice with crab chunks. Their pad thai is pretty good as well as their soups, and I think the Tom Yum is quite good. It's really hard to reconsider coming back to this restaurant or recommending it as a dine-in option after our experience this past weekend. Previously, we had thought this place was a pretty decent Thai restaurant near us with good value. read more

We love the foods so much, enjoy the vibe and they have a great selection, must try if you are in the houston medical center area.

Great customer service, food was quick and very tasty. Always get take-out so can't speak on that experience, but overall great Thai food for an affordable price! read more

We've eaten at Morningside multiple times and they have great consistency with their food! We've had multiple types of noodle dishes, fried rice, curry and several of the apps and everything has been very yummy. My favorite is the chicken pad kee mow, level 3 out of 4 spice. The serving is ENORMOUS - like two meals worth, the veggies are fresh and it's always piping hot. This is a very dependable choice for solid Thai food! read more

This was my family's first time here and we won't be back. This place is not kid friendly. When we first came in with our one year old, the waiter didn't offer a high chair. When we asked, he seemed reluctant and took awhile to bring one. He then brought us waters and I asked for a water with a lid for my daughter. This also seemed like an inconvenience to him. We ordered spring rolls and when I asked if they came with peanut sauce he said "no". That's it. When I asked if I could get it, he said it would be an up charge. My husband asked for fried rice with his meal and we were told it was a $5 up charge, which is outrageous. While we were waiting to order my daughter was playing with the menu and put one corner of it in her mouth. When the waiter took our menus he very passive aggressively wiped ONLY that menu down while staring at our table. I was so uncomfortable. Looking at reviews, we aren't the first family with kids to feel this way. We ended up taking our food to go and it was cold. We won't be dining here again. read more

I've ordered Togo from here a few times and each time it's yummy. The fried tofu (my favorite) is a fulfilling vegan option. The peanut sauce that comes with the tofu is wonderful! The inside consists of only a few tables and it's fairly small, so I'm sure dining in would be an enjoyable experience. read more

We decided on lunch while in the area. The restaurant was small, cozy and clean. Unfortunately I was a bit disappointed in the overall experience. The Tom Yum Kung soup was a tad bit too sweet however it was the most authentic compared to the other dishes. Sweet & Sour Chicken - the batter was nice & crispy but the sauce was overwhelming. Baby egg rolls (10) per order. The "secret ingredients and spices" lacked flavor, the minced beef was very soggy which resulted in the wrapper itself being crisp but the filling was just soggy. Thai Toast - lacked flavor. If you've never had Thai Toast it would be too difficult for me to explain other than saying it lacked flavor. It's like a toasted sandwich except you can't taste anything except the toast. read more
