Kellie P.

Actually the best Thai I've ever had! So upscale with their food with very reasonable prices. The restaurant is off the beaten path. Nothing special to look at but clean. Service was friendly and fast.

Oh my gosh, wow what a fantastic Thai restaurant close to the Riverwalk in downtown San Antonio. I had the drunken noodles, on a scale of one to 10 a seven in terms of heat and wow, it was awesome! Fantastic service, big menu. I will come back here the next time I'm in town for sure.

Massaman curry with beef and shrimp
Marc T.

Stayed close by for business. When did sushi, but really no sushi places downtown. Settled here and was pleasantly surprised. Nice staff, plenty of seating, and great experience. Had the pad Thai chicken and massaman curry. Both were extremely tasty and had the perfect heat as we requested. We definitely come back again.

I wanted to like this place more than I did, but the food itself is mediocre and overpriced. I went for lunch and got the drunken noodles, which comes as a combo with soup and one crab rangoon. The drunken noodles were pretty dry and one-dimensional tasting (almost like only soy sauce was used). The noodles themselves had a great texture. I also loved the soup, which reminded me of a hot and sour soup but a savory version without the hot and sour components. The moo ping was tasty but the meat did not have much char--it seemed like it was cooked steaming in sauce. The mango sticky rice was definitely the star, close to perfection. The mango was super sweet and juicy and the rice had just the right amount of coconut flavor. Service was friendly and fast. And everything was very nice decor-wise. The plates and interior matches the pricing of the menu.

Eggplant with tofu dish
Kim K.

Sip saam thai was a mid experience. The eggplant dish with rice was supposed to be mild spice level and came with zero flavor. The friend rice with chicken was bland and didn't have much chicken. Chicken massaman curry was ok. Water is brought via a pitcher and glasses for you to self pour. We had to ask for more water. When I asked for some sauces to spice up my dish it took some time. Entrees were overpriced. It was conveniently located.

First meal in San Antonio was here. A great spot about 14 minutes walk from the convention center. Walked in for lunch and I got the red curry beef special. Service was friendly. The meal was flavorful and perfect proportion for lunch. Nice spot with ample seating. I'm

Pad Thai
Jaclyn S.

The food was superb. We got their spring rolls with tofu and even my 2 year old liked them. We each got a lunch special pad Thai. It came with delicious soup and a crab Rangoon. Probably the best crab Rangoon I've ever had. Everything was so fresh. Service was superb. Very clean and relaxing. Stop here for good food and good service. I want to try the fried banana next time!

Seafood yellow curry
Anastasia V.

The food at Sip Saam Thai was very good! The moo ping and pad see ew were so delicious and portions were a good size. Next time, I'd skip the drunken noodles since the flavor was a bit meh. My friend really liked the red curry with seafood and finished the whole plate. The restaurant was clean and staff was attentive and nice. If I'm in the mood for Thai food when visiting San Antonio again, I would go definitely go back to eat here.

Salt & Pepper Shrimp perfection
Marcos D.

Exquisite in every aspect, sumptuous Thai food that is not the typical Thai joint. The Spring Rolls were the best I've had, the Curry Lamb Shank amazing, the Salt & Pepper Shrimp is perfection. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the service is so friendly and attentive. My new downtown favorite!

Hot sauce flight
Marian G.

The restaurant is average size with quiet music playing. Service is fast and the staff is professional and friendly. The food is absolutely delicious. I had pad woon sen and hubby had Thai pork spare ribs. They were so good but we will each try another dish when we come back.

pad thai
Amanda L.

Pad thai not my favorite, but pad se ew was solid as well as the thai fried rice. The people here are very very nice. I would get the pad se ew and fried rice again but nothing else. Spice is 1-10 but you can add more spice later. Thai tea looked really good so maybe I'll try that next time.

Delicious Thai food in Downtown San Antonio! I love their weekday lunch specials - their Drunken Noodles are the best!

Our visit to Flying Tiger Thai was a bit of a mixed bag. Some things were done very well, while…read moreothers just didn't come together. We started with the crab Rangoon, which turned out to be the highlight of the meal. They were folded into little pillows and fried to a nice golden brown. The temperature was perfect, and they were crispy without being greasy. The cream cheese filling was smooth and creamy, although I would have liked a little more crab. Still, a well-prepared appetizer and a good start. For my entrée, I went with the Panang curry and crispy noodles at our server's suggestion. I'd never had Panang served with fried noodles before, so I was interested in seeing how it worked. The chicken was thinly sliced, tender, and nicely cooked. Unfortunately, the rest of the dish didn't work nearly as well. The crispy noodles were hard and clumped together. There was very little curry sauce, which made it difficult to enjoy the noodles or even get a good sense of the curry's flavor. For me, the curry is what should bring everything together, and there simply wasn't enough of it. The plating caught my attention, but it also seemed to allow the food to cool off rather quickly. I appreciate a different approach to a familiar dish, but the balance just wasn't there. Service was friendly, but a little disorganized. Several servers came by to take drink and food orders that had already been placed. We found ourselves having to explain that someone had already taken care of us. When we asked for recommendations, our server quickly ran through her favorites, mostly naming items rather than explaining what made them worth trying. I would have appreciated a little more guidance, especially since her recommendation led me to something I hadn't tried before. The atmosphere was fairly ordinary. Nothing particularly wrong with the dining room, but nothing memorable either. With a name like Flying Tiger, I expected a little more personality. Overall, I saw some good technique in the kitchen. The Rangoon was fried properly, the chicken was tender, and the staff seemed willing to help. Unfortunately, the Panang curry missed the mark, and the service could have used better coordination. If you're visiting, the crab Rangoon is worth trying. As for the Panang curry, I'd consider skipping the crispy noodles based on my experience.

Growing up in Texas, I knew nothing about Thai food. On a business trip I went to Thailand and I…read morefell in love with the food, country and people. Walking in here reminded me of places we ate - the Texas sized Buddha made it easy to remember that we were still in Texas. The smells, the food, the service was very reminiscent of being in Thailand. Being Friday, we started with the potatoe soup (only available on Fridays). It was tasty even though there was nothing "Thai" about it. The large bowl fills 4 of the cups with a little left over. The crunchy wonton strips were hot, crispy with a nice sweet and sour sauce. The wife had pineapple fried rice, one of her favorites at any Thai restaurant, they did not disappoint. I had the chicken larb salad, medium spicy, and it delivered spice and the citrus acid from limes, very good. Portion sizes are generous. After the soup course, my wife and I are bringing about half of each entree for tomorrow lunch. Service was prompt and it's worth another visit, even at 45 minutes away from where I live. Pro Tip: scan the QR code at the table to get the menu. They don't keep their paper menus current with either prices or choices, probably the only knock I have against this place.

The employees knew I was very picky when I order my dishes. The service!! Perfection every moment I walked through their doors. Sit for awhile.
