    Wrap plate with Pork
    Cameron M.

    Stopped in after seeing some great reviews. The sign outside was for the previous establishment, but there is a smaller sign denoting the new name of the restaurant. The decor of the restaurant is very inviting and upscale. We were seated right away and our server was friendly and efficient throughout. We decided on the Wrap plate with Pork. It was fresh and tasty and a generous portion. All of the veggies were very fresh and the server even offered additional veggies when we started to run out. Definitely a great addition to the area and I look forward to coming back to try some other options.

    I stopped by for a solo lunch, and enjoyed my meal so much! I tried the boat noodles, which were customizable and delicious. I ordered mine with rice noodles, boat soup, and shank beef. The chili oil here is soooo delicious (and very spicy!). The interior is beautifully designed, with a semi private room available for groups. The staff was so friendly and gave me some extra chili oil to go since I was raving about it. I will definitely be back, and am telling all my friends about this spot.

    The ambience was amazing with soft lighting and a casual atmosphere. Our server was nice and welcoming, and made our experience better. The food was amazing; flavorful, and clean. If you are looking for a place to eat, I would recommend coming here.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Khao soi steak
    Elven B.

    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.

    Beef Nam tok , it's delicious!

    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.

    Khao Soi
    Aqsa T.

    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.

    Noodle Garlic Fried Rice Kra Praw (Thai Basil)

    This is one of the best Thai restaurants I've been to in Dallas Tx The food tastes just like it does in Thailand. The chicken biryani was perfectly seasoned, flavorful, and cooked just right. The boat noodles were incredibly authentic, bringing back memories of eating them in Thailand. The grilled fish wraps with tamarind dipping sauce were absolutely outstanding--the sauce was the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and savory. Every dish we ordered was delicious. The restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere with a trendy New York-style vibe, great music, and excellent service. What impressed me even more was how affordable the prices were for the quality and portion sizes. If you're craving authentic Thai food, I highly recommend this place. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Garlic fried rice with chicken

    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!

    Beef shank boat noodle
    Adrie S.

    I've been wanting to try this place with my bf for a while and I'm glad we were in the area to try it out. They opened a few months ago so Old Boy doesn't have a sign up yet but look for Malacca Cafe on the corner, right of Kroger. I like the vibe inside, it makes you forget you're in a Kroger plaza. The staff is super friendly and helpful with recommendations since we were newcomers. We've had our fair share of Thai food but there were still plenty we haven't tried/heard of. We got the curry puffs to start and a coffee cloud and nom yen (Thai pink drink). The curry puffs were soooo good. Packed with flavor, very fluffy with a sweet and sour sauce. The drinks were fun and refreshing. The nom yen was fruity and a little tangy, a flavor I've never had before. The coffee cloud was a coffee foam on top of coconut water with fresh coconut meat. Paired well with the heavier dishes. For our entrees, we ordered the beef shank boat noodle and duck khao soi. If you've never tried boat noodles before, it makes me think of a crossover of pho and beef noodle soup. Hearty but still light. I love the delicate tendon and meatballs too. Perfect for a rainy day. The khao soi was rich in flavor, and melded well with the crispy duck. Always a favorite dish of mine. We were already talking about the next time we'd come back cause there were so many things we wanted to try still. If you're in Southlake, give this spot a try!

    This place is a winner. I have visited several times and it's always good. The beef boat noodles are my favorite. The green Thai tea is delicious, too. Give them a try!

    A Birthday Celebration, Shopping, and Some Delicious Japanese Food!…read more Since it was my daughter's birthday, we thought, why not make a day of it? We decided to do some shopping and then grab some lunch. After getting all that shopping behind us, we headed over to Sushi Zen Japanese Bistro. As soon as we walked in, we were promptly greeted by Mr. Jay, who also happened to be our server. The Bistro itself was very elegant, quiet, clean, and well organized. Definitely a nice place to sit down, relax, and get our grub on! Mr. Jay was a very quiet young man, but extremely welcoming and polite. He promptly brought us our menus and glasses of water and gave us plenty of time to look everything over without feeling rushed. When he returned, I ordered the Yaki Soba Noodles Lunch for $5.95. My Yaki Soba came with chicken, beef, and a mix of vegetables, and let me tell you, it was delicious! It was well seasoned, full of flavor, and definitely hit the spot. My daughter ordered the Chicken Cutlet (Deep-Fried) Bento Box for $9.95, along with a Miso Soup for $1.95. Her bento box included steamed white rice, sushi rolls, gyoza, and a salad. Now, since I don't eat anything seafood-related, I had to take her word for it, but she said her meal was really delicious and well seasoned. She especially loved the salad and said it was outstanding. My wife ordered the Shrimp Tempura Bento Box for $11.95, which also came with steamed white rice, sushi, gyoza, and that same delicious salad, along with a Miso Soup for $1.95. She thoroughly enjoyed her meal as well. All three of us enjoyed our lunch, and the service from Mr. Jay was excellent. The food was flavorful, the Bistro was clean and inviting, and the prices were very reasonable. What started as a birthday shopping trip turned into a delicious lunch, and that's always a win in my book! Everything was truly outstanding, and I will definitely return again. Thank you, Mr. Jay, for helping make my daughter's birthday lunch a wonderful experience. We hope to see you there!

    First night eating here. I was extremely excited to have a Korean eatery near us with a high…read morerating. On arrival I saw 4 posted signs on the door for hiring. Red flag. Basically, it tasted as if the owner is in the back running the line because his cooks left him hanging. Crappily marinated, improperly cooked meat is what we got. Who ever was on the sides and banchan were on it though. They need a raise. Also, clean your restaurant and pick a theme man. Sidenote, having the server come out to tell us without coming out yourself is lame. They apologized many times to say sorry, the owner is in the back and told me to tell you such and such: "You just don't like "our" food. It's supposed to be like that." No, pretty sure it isn't. Your marinade for your meat is not good. The star goes toward your pantry cook. The banchan was not bad, weird lineup but not bad. Why no japchaee, or radish kimchi? Also, that much mayo on steamed broccoli def wasn't my favorite. They really tried to convince us that this is how it's supposed to taste, "What do you mean it tastes sour?" I mean, your marinade has too much vinegar in it. It tastes bad. "What exactly is wrong with the galbi?" It sat in the marinade too long, the meat taste grainy- because of the pear in the marinade- or pineapple juice to each their own. It can basically cook the meat before the meat hits the pan if you leave it in there too long. You would notice this stuff during the plating process- presentations good. But if the foods bad, it's bad no matter how pretty you make it look. We paid the full bill, didn't touch the meat. Pancake was good. Gave 10% to the server, because it wasn't her fault but she didn't help the situation. Forgot to mention as well: a lady and her kids at the table next to us got her meal discounted because of the food. When I asked if it is usually better she said, yes so much better. I'm not sure who is back there but it isn't the normal cook. It's pretty bad tonight. Maybe it was a one off, like everyone has but... the idea that you can try to convince customers that maybe they're wrong and just don't know how Korean food should taste surely did leave a bad taste for us.
