Crawfish, w corn and potatoes
Lamar T.

Love love love this place. Popped in today thinking I would get some tasty Thai food. Instead welcomed by a new pleasant surprise. They have crawfish. Say whaaa. Really good flavor, with corn, potatoes and sausage. I'm stuffed. I will definitely be back.

Laura M.

Delicious dishes, fresh and well packaged for delivery. We tried the Pad Thai, Fried Rice, Tom soup and bean dessert. Everything tasted great and portions were generous. We particularly liked being able to choose the protein and the spiciness level.

Loved my food!
Joyce L.

Food was delicious great place for a date , new owners not to many people when I go but the food is always good

Drunken Noodle

Food was great! They had 6 levels of spicy, as someone who eats lots of spicy food, level 2 was comfortable spicy. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Food was served very hot.

Fried chicken wings and seafood LardNa
Alexus V.

Some of you may know that I'm always searching for delicious and authentic Thai/Lao cuisines well here's another place for you to checkout and I guarantee you will add it to your favorites . It's under new management and I went for lunch with my sister whom actually told me the food is way better-- typically I question my sister about what's good but she definitely got this place right! We ordered fried chicken wings (this is just a must have), that comes with sticky rice, spicy seafood LardNa (spice level is up to you), and an off-menu order of everything but the kitchen sink papaya salad that has papaya, seafood, homemade noodles, and veggies. My mouth is watering just typing this review that's how good the food was. The chicken was fried to golden perfection well seasoned, seafood LardNa was oh so good, the broth had all the Asian seasonings and seafood was fresh, the papaya salad alone was a meal! If you love papaya salad, then you will absolutely love and crave papaya salad made this way. While I would wait for my mouth to cool off from the spicy heat, I noticed they had lots of to-go orders coming and going. It looks like they also have karaoke night as I noticed a spot setup for one, which I'm sure is fun-good fun plus good karaoke equals a great night! Again, if you're looking for a spot to cure your Thai/Lao cravings or just try something new, do give this place a try you will be happy you did!

Pad kee mao with shrimp and squid

Food and service were excellent!!! Had an appetizer, soup and entree and the price was reasonable as well. Highly recommend and will return soon!!!

Garlic with beef
Hong T.

I forgot to take pictures of the appetizers but we started off with the cheese rolls, Thai papaya salad, veggie spring rolls, and Thai sausage. The Thai sausage was delicious, I could taste all the herbs and the casing had a nice little snap. Served with a sweet chili sauce but honestly i enjoyed it more without. Thai/Lao sausage is one of my favorite things ever. The papaya salad was delicious, sweet, tangy, spicy, little salty, and refreshing. Hit every flavor note you'd expect from a papaya salad. I'll be honest the cheese rolls and spring rolls weren't as rememberable because the sausage and papaya salad just outshined them. For our entrees we shared the beef salad, garlic with beef, and drunken noodles. The beef salad really flavorful, the herbs were bright and fragrant and the onion had a nice crunchy and sweetness which complemented the sauce it was topped In. Would highly recommend this. The drunken noodles was delicious, I'm not sure how to describe this as it's what you'd expect from drunken noodles. The slight char on the noodles from the heat of cooking added a nice flavor. The stand out was the garlic sauce with beef. Man I wasn't expecting this to be so good. It has what I assume is an oyster sauce base and I could taste the white pepper. Rice is perfect for asking this sauce up. This would honestly go well with any carb. Highly recommend it.

The dining area is pretty small, with around 10 tables, but it was surprisingly busy with so many people coming in to eat. It gave me that hidden-gem kind of feeling, like a local spot that people know is really good. The food was honestly delicious and tasted quite authentic compared to other Thai restaurants I've tried. Everything was flavorful and well-seasoned, and our food came out surprisingly fast. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming. Definitely a little hidden gem that I'm happy to have found near my home. I'll definitely be coming back!

I wouldn't necessarily sit down here but if you want to you can. More of a grocery store than sit down restaurant. Khao soi gai: 7/10 This was so flavorful and delicious but definitely should have opted for the chicken instead of the soft shell crab I wasn't really a fan of the crab. Love the flavors and textures though. Definitely want to try with chicken and I recommend getting some rice on the side. Pad mama: 9/10 This had a really yummy vibrant flavor with a good amount of protein and leafy greens. Could be spicier I think the just gave us a random spice level. Overall really yummy and good portion for the prices but would love to retry with more spice in the dishes.

I was given a large tea pot and the tea came pre sweetened and I could choose from a variety of flavors of tea. The experience also came with a bird cage of appetizers that were normal sized and was offered in a buffet style format. Whenever you wanted more of an appetizer, you were given more by request (this is why you paid the $40 plus dollars for that experience). I went today 9/20/26 and was told they only had two types of tea (for a High Tea reservation!!!!)...my appetizers were on a diet and looked nothing like my first experience. The appetizers weren't offered buffet style...WHAT GIVES? Why even spend $40 for baby sized food.

I went with my husband during Houston Restaurant Week, and maybe that was my mistake…read more We got the Thai ice tea and Thai jasmine green tea for drinks, squid and tofu for appetizers, the crying tiger and kua kling for entrees, and the sticky rice with mango and the coconut ice cream for desserts. I can confidently say that I was disappointed. There was not one dish that stood out or that I would recommend or come back for. I especially was sad that the crying tiger flavors really missed the mark. The sticky rice that came with it felt like it was reheated and some parts were hard. It also tasted like some of the vegetables (green beans and carrots) that come with the entrees were frozen, not fresh. The jasmine green tea tastes like a powder mix. Some of the squid tasted freezer burned. The kua kling was the most interesting and unique of the dishes, but not one that I would go out of my way to eat again. The sticky rice with mango was as expected. The coconut ice cream is probably pre-portioned and frozen so was rock solid when it came out. I did not find most of the toppings particularly good. It was a busy Friday and I know service was busy. The food did not take long to come out, but we definitely had dishes from previous courses that stacked up, and we had to ask them to be taken away. They do have a high chair for toddlers and brought a plastic plate/utensils, but there was not a changing table in the bathroom we used. We have had such great experiences at other Thai restaurants in Houston that I would not come back.

It could easily reach that level. Our waitress, Ann, was incredibly kind, soft spoken, and welcoming. My friend Sherita suggested this restaurant after we left a Yelp office hour, and I'm so glad she did because it introduced me to something I never knew I needed: the salmon mango fried rice. It was absolutely amazing. I originally planned to take some home for my son to try, but it was so delicious that I finished every bite in one sitting. Sherita had visited earlier in the week and tonight shared that she arrived; right before I walked in which was 30 minutes before closing time, Jackie told her to hurry up and order, even though she already knew exactly what she wanted and didn't even need a menu. Jackie response was unprofessional and didn't even wait till the table guest got to the table, which was less than seconds since we all arrive at the same time, and left the same place. During our visit, Jackie never brought us water. A couple who was seated after us received water before we did. It took over 10 minutes for us to get water. Ann took great care of us, but anytime we wanted a refill, we had to ask. At one point my glass was completely empty. I noticed Jackie refilling the water glasses for a table of six, so I managed to get his attention. He looked directly at me, scanned the room, then stomped away all fast without acknowledging my request. Instead, he told Ann that we wanted water, and she graciously brought it over. Even at the end of our meal, Jackie stood behind the register while my friends waited to pay, yet another employee ended up taking their payment. His overall energy felt very cold and unwelcoming. My friend even joked that it was probably for the best that he didn't refill my water because of the energy he was carrying. As someone who believes water absorbs energy, I honestly agreed. I'm grateful Ann was the one who served us with such kindness. The restaurant itself has such a peaceful, zen atmosphere. The greenery outside and the warm lighting inside create a cozy neighborhood spot that I truly want to love and revisit with my son. Thank you , Sherita for introducing me and Aaliyah to this hidden gem. I completely understand why you visited twice in one week. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu, and hopefully next time the hospitality matches the quality of the food.
