    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Beef shank boat noodle

    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!

    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.

    Garlic fried rice with chicken
    Conner F.

    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!

    Had an awesome lunch at old boy! Got the garlic fried rice with steak! It was juicy and flavorful! Also got the cream cheese wontons and a yuzu ice tea! I would definitely go back to try other things!

    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.

    Came in on a Thursday to enjoy a little reprieve from having to cook during the week and the…read morerestaurant was not very busy. We were seated promptly and met by our server named Dream. Ordered a large Tom Kha soup to share as a family. The portion was generous, and the flavor was great. We had chicken as our protein choice. Then as the second dish we got the duck curry with extra of protein (extra duck) and extra veggies. For a few dollars more we were able to upgrade a very delicious dish and make it substantive enough for myself, my wife, and my young son to all share together. They tuned down the spice and made it bearable for all of us and it was fantastic. Service was ok, a little slow as the servers seemed overwhelmed with only two of them covering the whole restaurant. There was a large party that walked in right before us that had 16 people. Perhaps that tainted our experience. I've been here multiple times before when I've picked up food to go, and the food quality has always been consistent , and the timing of the actual order has always been pretty fast. Verdict : 4th time is a charm (as were the first 3 times). 8/10. Would recommend

    A good option for a low key dinner in the Southlake area, although as a huge fan of Thai food it is…read morefar from the best I've had. The service at Thailicious was great. Drunken noodle is one of my favorite Thai dishes. I ordered medium and the heat was just right but overall the dish was good but I'd probably order something else next time. My 3 year old had the fried rice with beef - it was delicious. Better than my drunken noodles. We also ordered the green curry to go. This was really good the next day - so better than the drunken noodle. The ambiance was peaceful, casual, and inviting. And the prices and portions were a great value - especially for families. I'll definitely be back and will probably order from there as well.
