    Lunch menu
    Tianna H.

    Large flavorful portions, prompt service, casual and clean dining room. I'd definitely come back.

    Note: this review is based on a to-go order of the crab fried rice. The food was prepared quickly. The staff were friendly. The fried rice was delicious. The restaurant seemed inviting. The parking situation can be tough as it's a busy retail area. I look forward to coming back and having a more complete Thai meal.

    Came here for my birthday celebration. Love that you can veganize the menu by paying extra $1, haven't seen that before anywhere. They don't have any lunch specials but we were more excited about thier vegan options. The spring rolls were a little bland but decent. Man, the vegetarian spicy basil fried rice was amazing! Finely chopped vegetables, just how I like them. Very tasty. Thai tea & the noodles were good too. Would like to try thier curries sometime.

    Always great to have a good Thai spot like Nara near by never disappoints great tafu as well

    Larb Gai no rice powder add cucumbers

    Love this place. We come once a week normally. Recommend, the Larb Gai add cucumbers, no rice powder. Also garlic chicken and pad see eue.

    I ordered from Nara before and thought it was pretty good but this last time I'm pretty shocked at what they charge and the portions they give. They charge 14 dollars for a curry that is about 1/2 the portion size of what I usually get at any other Thai restaurant. And for shrimp they charged me an extra 6 dollars and gave me 3 pieces of shrimp. I don't think I can ever order from this place again. It is a shame because the food tastes good but I can't justify paying 90 bucks for Thai food that is 1/2 portion sizes.

    Orange chicken
    Bryan L.

    We ordered from the Cypress location and have been extremely loyal however the past two times have been awful. We ordered the Orange Chicken (over cooked and only 11 tiny pieces and dry) fried rice (over cooked dry chicken and no flavor) and Pad Thai ( dry and had a very strange flavor) on top of all of that the portions were extremely small compared to what they use to be. Not pictured is the tofu they originally made for us and I had to drive over 45 min round trip and wait 15 min for my food. Extremely horrible experience, didn't once ask if they could compensate and refund our money. After the past two experiences I doubt we will be back after going to this spot for years.

    Great location, easy parking. Staffs are nice. Foods are okay, we like their mock duck, basil tofu and tomyam. Fried calamari were bad, the batter was too greasy and tasteless, the calamari was overcooked.

    Chicken Pad Thai Spice level 3
    Tee S.

    Food, service, and great cozy ambiance. Came in for dinner! We all got pad Thai with iced tea our usual order. Love that they customize the spice level to your liking!

The appetizer was overpriced given it's just another version of crab Rangoon. The beef pad Thai was okay, the pad Thai was good but I do NOT recommend getting steak here. I order a medium rare and got medium instead (gray band see picture). The steak was unevenly cooked and so dry. The clamp was another big led down, the soup was great but the muscles itself was dead before cooked (as shown many muscles was shut). Now the negative is out of the way... The lynchee drinks were so good and look great as well! I highly recommend. The mango sticky rice was great as well! Good texture on rice, nice coconut drizzle and mango was fresh (perfectly ripe). The service was good and attentive. Overall, I think it's a great place together and have a drink as they have many great drinks but for food... I will not recommend because it's quite overpriced and the quality and taste of the food doesn't justify the cost.

It was definitely on the upper end of my spice tolerance, and I love spicy food, but it was absolutely perfect. Hot enough to have a real kick without overpowering the flavor. The curry itself was rich, creamy, incredibly flavorful, and just delicious. The value here is also kind of unreal. This is very reasonably priced Thai food, but the quality is cream of the crop, tip of the top. I also ordered the fresh vegetable rolls with noodles, tofu, carrots, and lettuce with the peanut sauce, and they were perfect. Fresh, filling, and that peanut sauce was so good. The portions are generous for the price, everything was incredibly satisfying, and I was genuinely impressed by how much great food I got for what I paid. I will absolutely be ordering from Thai Curry Cypress again.

I got the pad thai and pad khee mao. The pad thai was flavorful and noodle texture was not too soggy or hard. I think there can be more flavoring as it is on the savory side. For the pad khee mao, the basil was definitely bringing out the flavor more but the meat can get a bit chewy at times. Other than that, they are solid choices if you want a quick lunch or dinner.

I…read morehad previously come here when it was a different name, but it wasn't that great back then. With the new name and menu, as other reviewers indicate, the menu is split into 4 regions with has between 3-11 entrees for each region. Entrees are $16-25, with the beef dishes being the pricier options. I thought it was strange they didn't have whole fish or ground beef for their larb salad, but I guess they can't have every possible Thai dish. The night I visited they had live entertainment, an asian singer, although her voice was pretty soft and you couldn't tell she was singing on many notes. Service was excellent, but the table selection we were given sucked as usual. It was right next to the front door of the restaurant. I tried a dish I don't normally order when I visit a thai restaurant, the sah nuer (beef tenderloin) since it had a nice presentationand it was a beef dish. Our table also added the pad woon sen (shrimp) and chicken wings. For a drink, I just had a pineapple juice. The juice was probably from a can, tasted like the Dole 46oz can I buy that's fresh pineapple juice, not from concentrate. The sah nuer was really simple yet delicious. It didn't look like a lot of food, in fact the pad woon sen looked like 5x as much food, but both ended up being so delicious. All plates were cleaned by the time we were ready to leave. I was surprised it was that good. They have only 3 spice levels, mild, medium and hot. The medium on the sah nuer was just perfect. It wasn't loaded with a ton of chili flakes, instead I feel they may have use powdered spice instead.

    OK, here is a food hack that my husband claims to have discovered (even though he has seen me doing…read morethis many times before in Chinese and Korean places). This last visit, I ordered the coconut chicken soup, along with the crab fried rice (it's a must). He got a spoon of rice and then dipped it in the soup to eat together and it made for such a divine pairing. Absolutely recommend ordering and doing this. This place has quickly before one of our favorite nearby places. Especially when I'm crazing FLAVOR and SPICES. This place does not disappoint and I look like someone who hasn't eaten in several days when I demolish all of the dishes in front of me.

Glad they had Thai Fish Cakes - ok but a bit underwhelmed. Appetizers and desserts were so reasonably priced that it's easy to add on to entrees despite inflation.

We told them right away but of course the food was almost gone so they gave us 50% off. Which is fine. The food was already below what I expect to pay anywhere else. That said it's obvious they're cutting corners to keep the prices down and you get what you pay for, I guess. We ordered the mango sticky rice dessert it was good, avg. my daughter said the Thai tea was the same. Probably won't be back b/ I'm a Thai food snob but worth a try for a cheap Thai meal.
