I've been looking for a place that serves khao soi and finally found it! Don't be fooled by the funny name...they seriously have some GOOD FOOD here. I loved the soft deep house music vibes in the lobby and ambient lighting decor on the walls. There was even a neat motion wall. Overall, just good classy but laid back vibes, delicious food, and very friendly service. I even overheard several customers at other tables keep commenting "this is SO GOOD". Highly recommend to come try it. I will totally come back any time I'm in the Southlake area. read more

I would come back. Here's what we ordered: - duck khao soi: the duck was prepared perfectly. Not dry at all. Very tender. Not a gimicky meat choice for a fantastic dish - Chicken tom yum: unique. Would get again. - Steak boat noodles: this was essentially Pho. Good nonetheless. The servers were kind but slow. It seemed there were only 2 people working on Easter Sunday evening. The restaurant has put in thought into the ambience they want to curate and we appreciated that. It isn't your hole in the wall Thai spot. read more

Seriously some of the best food I've had in a very long time. My husband and I are big Thai food fans and we had never heard of "boat noodle" before, even when we visited Thailand. Holy cow have we been missing out. I had the boat noodles with the roasted duck and the flavor of the broth I'd like nothing I've ever had before. Duck was so, so good. My husband had the khao soi and the flavors were also really great. Also had the dumplings for appetizer. The sauce on the dumplings was unique and very teriyaki/barbecue sauce-like. Very good They still haven't removed the name of the previous business from overhead on the outside of the shopping center. It's very unassuming from the outside and decorated beautifully inside. I can't wait to take other family and friends here. I'd give it 20 stars if I could. read more

A beautiful upper tier Thai restaurant. Feels new, clean, and trendy. We ordered the Khao soi, tom yum, and kra pow. All were excellent, deep, and flavorful. We're big Thai food fans and their style of cooking set itself apart from some of our favorites spots. I was impressed that the garnishes were served on the side. My wife doesn't like onions or cilantro and I love them, so being able to share with her, and then add them in for myself was appreciated. The crispy chili oil at the table left a positive impression on me as well. We'll be back to further explore the menu. read more

Location (4/5): Corner spot in the same plaza as the Kroger. It was kind hard to spot since the sign was not very big. I was surprised how nice it looked inside compared to the exterior view. It had an overall relaxed/chill vibe to it. Food (5/5): Started with the curry puffs which was one of the best I've had. Really flaky and good amount of stuffing in them. Tried the Boat Noodle and Steak Khao Soi. Both were solid choices with them being very flavorful, good amount of protein in them, and just had an overall clean taste to them. Overall just a great experience with the food. I'll be going back to try the other dishes. read more

I've been hearing about this place for a while and finally got time to try it out. I didn't get a picture of the boat noodle but let me tell you it was probably my least favorite, the broth was too sweet and it had a coconut flavor not the best. I give it a 5/10. The beef kra paw was 7/10 but meat tasted cheap. The khao Soi probably the best thing was a 8/10. Portions were huge I will say and prices were not bad. The place was nice and comfortable super modern maybe I'll give them another chance in the future. read more

I have been here twice and I have not had a dish that I didn't like. Their Khao Soi with duck was delicious with a bit of a kick. The boat noodles were also very flavorful and good value for how much each bowl is. My husband tried their old boy wrap and loved it as well. The grilled pork sausage was very tender. Service was attentive and relatively quick. I definitely cannot wait to come back to try more dishes. read more

Hard to see sign for restaurant, it's to the right of Krogers in the corner. Eggrolls 5/10 just decent veggie eggrolls Pad kee mao - 7/10 solid 7 great taste but noodles were too broken up Khao Soi - beef 9/10 - taste just like how I had it in northern Thailand in Chiang Mai! So good! Much success to this restaurant! read more

If you are craving flavorful boat noodles then Old Boy is the place to end your cravings. This spot has been home to a few other noodle shops in the past. The menu is noodles geared towards Thai cuisine. I will say for Thai food that the menu is above the average amount that you normally pay for Thai food, but I think the reason why is that it is in Southlake and the ambience is pretty fancy for a noodle shop. The service is very fast and knowledgeable about their menu which is always good. The food itself was pretty good. I enjoyed the appetizers and the boat noodles. This is probably a very good place for a romantic noodle dinner or a nice work lunch. I think I'll come back again for date night with the wife. read more

Solid thai and vietnamese food. The plates are meant to be shared but kind of small plate sizes for shared plates. Tries the khao soi which was good but very sweet. The papaya salad was crunchy but spicy. Stand out food. read more

Really solid food and the service is great. I do miss Malacca, it's very difficult to find Malaysian food. The inside is basically the same and some of the staff is the same as well. The curry puffs weren't as authentic as I hoped but the beef bowl was very good. The khao soi was also spicier than I expected, I was surprised when the receipt said "non spicy". I think they'll have to tone it down a bit to cater it to the people in the area. Overall, great spot; but Malacca will be missed. Hoping they can open closer to Plano or Frisco, I think the cuisine would be more appreciated there than where it originally opened. read more

From the moment we walked in everything was perfect. They have a cloud series drink, and we bought the Ube and Matcha. Both were so so good. And then my son got the garlic fried rice and I got the steak khao soi. I am so excited that this restaurant is here because the food is excellent! This is definitely one that we will add into our repertoire. read more

This is a must try spot in Southlake located in the corner of the Kroger parking lot. The outside doesn't have signage yet, but the inside is well put together and clean. The service was great, the people who run old boy are kind and helpful. We tried the boat noodles and garlic fried rice. The proteins are good quality, the food is flavorful, and there is plenty on the menu to try. The fried rice might be the best I've had, if you don't mind some heat add some of the chili oil that's in the middle of the table! If you haven't tried Old Boy yet, give it a try it won't disappoint! read more

Very strange experience. Was thrown off by the fact that the sign doesn't match the name of the business which made it difficult to find. Decided to visit based on good reviews on Yelp however, our food was disappointing. Pad krapow had a sauce similar to teriyaki unlike any I've ever experienced. Sweet and sticky instead of stirfry as expected, and the beef was not very fresh. Had the boat noodles with the clear broth and it was supposed to be tie take on pho but I would've rather had pho. The beef was better in this dish. Flavors just weren't as good. Had potential, but the food was a letdown. Kind of a fun club type of vibe, but I was there for the food. read more

AMAZING tastes. We eat a lot of Thai, vietnamese, Indian etc. food and are picky' I also cook it myself. So I do know what I'm talking about. This place is THE BOMB. the curry puffs were so flaky, light, and flavorful. Some of the best I've had, even better than the ones I ate in Singapore. The Khao soi was total chef's kiss. The broth was flavorful beyond belief. The noodles were well done. Next time I will ask for my shrimp tempura on the side because it was soggy. The boat noodles were delicious. The pork broth was super flavorful. My dining companions raved. The Passionista was beautiful. So gorgeous. It was however way too sweet for me. But I also don't eat a lot of sugar so YMMV Really hope this place makes it. No restaurants like this in the Kelle, and Southlake, Grapevine neighborhood read more

came in during soft opening and though their food tasted very good (get the khao soi you will not be disappointed!!!) they definitely have a lot of things to improve on service wise. first, when we came in there wasnt anyone to greet us. waited for about a minute or two and then we decided to just sit ourselves. the waiter eventually came out and handed us the menu after some time. food came out at a reasonable time but the waiter got my friend's order completely wrong. she got a different protein and a different type of noodle than what she ordered for her boat noodle. taste wise the khao soi and both broths for the boat noodles was very good. no notes. looking forward to come back and try out their other stuff and for hopefully better service next time read more

I had a great experience at Old Boy after hearing about it on social media for a long time. I tried the Boat Noodles -- some people say they are too sweet, but authentic Thai boat noodles really do taste like that. The Khao Soi Duck was amazing, and the Num Tok used high-quality steak with fresh vegetables that were beautifully prepared and fully edible. Definitely worth trying if you enjoy real Thai flavors. read more

Old Boy - Khao Soi - Noodles Near Me - Southlake, Texas

We used to come to this location all the time when it was Malacca, and we went again during their soft opening. We recognized the waiter as one of the Malacca waiters so I'm glad he still is around. They had a limited menu while we were there but I believe they will be basing their core menu around khao soi noodles. I usually don't get khao soi because I'm such a big fan of pad Thai, pad see yew etc but for a first time, it was awesome! It had the nuttiness of like massaman curry and great depth of flavor. It was actually a bit too spicy for me and I don't think the level is that adjustable so I had to alternate between bites and sips of Thai iced tea. But it's definitely a dish good enough to go back for. I got it with the chicken and some of the pieces were really tender and some just okay. I'm looking forward to coming back and getting the khao soi again as well as exploring the full menu options. The ambiance is the same as Malacca but instead of Singapore Malaysian Asian food YouTube channels, it's Thai. read more

Authentic, exceptional, Thai and SE Asian regional dishes across the entire menu! Highly recommend if you appreciate and recognize how real, flavorful, high quality Thai food should be read more

The ambiance of this place is more upscale than your typical strip mall Asian restaurant. It's beautiful inside with a gorgeous private room for large parties (two big round tables). They are still in their soft opening phase (I loved the place that was here prior to them). Service was excellent - glad to see one of my fave servers is still there. He made absolutely perfect recommendations. Appetizers were generous in portion size And each was delicious. The curry puffs were unique and flaky. The sausage dish was served with lettuce to wrap along with cucumbers, peppers, garlic, onions, peanuts and lime. Super yummy. And their homemade dumplings were juicy and flavorful - unlike any that I've ever had. For entrees we shared the khao soi with crispy duck and the tom yum with ground chicken and rice noodles. Presentation was beautiful and each was absolutely delectable in their own right. Why 4 vs 5 Stars? I would've liked much more broth in each of the main dishes. While it didn't necessarily take away from the experience, more soup would've put both over the top in a good way. We'll definitely be back and can't wait to see how their menu evolves with their grand opening! Come support this new small business in town. You won't be disappointed. read more

So happy we finally have an authentic Thai spot in Southlake We've been here three times now, and it has been consistently amazing every single visit. The boat noodles are the real deal, rich, deeply flavorful broth with that perfect balance of savory and spice. You can tell it's made the traditional way. And the khao soi? Absolutely incredible. Creamy, fragrant curry with tender noodles and that satisfying crunch on top. It tastes like something you'd get in Northern Thailand. Everything we've tried has been fresh, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care. The consistency is what really impressed us( three visits in and it's been great every time. So glad Southlake finally has an authentic Thai restaurant worth craving and going back to again and again. We'll definitely be regulars. read more

Amazing food! We got lucky and managed to find this place open on Christmas Day! So glad we ended up here because it is some of the best Thai food I've ever had. This may not be a traditional Thai place but man every one of their dishes looked amazing! Super cute inside as well and they just had a soft opening so hopefully business takes off because they deserve it with how good the food is here! The owners and waiters here were super kind as well and they do takeout and order online too! read more

Great flavors, really good noodles. fresh food- we will definitely be back! Cute atmosphere.

I was soooo excited for this place! What a waste of money. We ordered so many things off the menu and the 1 and only thing we liked was the cream cheese wontons. So good minus that they were on the colder side. I ordered the shrimp tempura noodle dish, it was gross because the shrimp was so soggy, it is super spicy. Decent flavor but ... wasn't a fan. The meat dish with spicy like dressing and rib eye legit tasted and smelled like a baby diaper with poop in it. So gross I have to spit it out. The chicken soup we got that was like a build your own was SO GROSS. Smells like cinnamon and tastes sweet. The pad Thai was also sweet and unappetizing. The crispy chicken was pretty nasty too. The chicken wings were not great either. We pretty much ordered everything and it was all disgusting. Spending $150 on food that went into the trash can was a tough pill to swallow. read more

Service is great. Food authentic. Ambiance is very laid back and relaxing!! Dumplings are so tasty. Fried tofu wow!!

Had a fantastic lunch! Still in Soft Opening stage. Definitely needs new signage (has previous establishment's main signage up). Menu great and is BYOB which they also need to better promote! We had the Spring Rolls and Gyoza to start which were plentiful and so tasty! Our entrees were the Num Tok and Pad Se Ew, both were fantastic and great portions. At Noon we were the first to arrive. By 1pm the restaurant started filling up. Ambience great. Just need to get the word out since not the easiest location to find hidden in a corner of Village Center (Kroger the foundation) in Southlake. read more
