    Thai Bird located @Idle - @Make Ready Food Hall

    1st time visit @Thai Bird Very pleased with our choices. Chopped chicken salad is amazing! Hubs had the 5-piece chicken tenders & it was so much food--- very unique flavor in the gluten-free tenders. Highly recommend a visit for others to try this place

    I had heard so many great things about Thai bird. The chicken was mid. I got two tenders and they were cooked well a little too much. Of the two sauces they provided I liked the lighter green one.The rice was cooked nicely. Two tenders cost me about $13.

    Cool place in the Make Ready Market. I'm a big fan of food hall areas like this, because of the variety and unique dining options they present. The vibe in the market was casual with fun music playing. Everything was clean and bright and felt nice and open. I went on a weeknight and there was hardly anyone else there, but I made my decision for Thai Bird. I ordered a couple tenders and the red curry corn to try something different. The tenders were very ... tender, and I enjoyed the sauces they came with. The red curry corn was good, but if I went again I might try one of the other sides.

    We visited the Make Ready food-hall and tried a few places, so I just got 2 tenders with a side of red curry corn. This cost about $23 with tip. The chicken flavoring! It's really different from typical fried chicken and was a nice surprise at first bite. It comes with a side of sauce that reminds me of Vietnamese nuoc cham with a fish sauce flavor and chilis. For a chicken tender though, it was pretty dry and I wish there was an alternative sauce option. A peanut sauce would be great! The rice and cilantro were great because it helped with the dryness. I got the red curry corn to help with the dryness as well, but the flavors didn't necessarily blend together. The curry flavor was a bit more spicy so it would overpower the chicken when I ate it together. I liked the corn, but I think my partner and I prefer an elote corn flavoring more. This didn't quite hit the spot. It's very soupy. Overall this place was great and I'd definitely get the chicken again and try more of the sides next time.

    Decided to try Thai Bird on my first visit to the new Make Ready food hall that just opened up down the street from me! Super friendly service, was greeted as I walked in the door of the place, which helped in my decision making as not all the vendors were as friendly. I chose 5 tenders and a kale salad side. As you can see from the photo, the tenders are HUGE. I could have easily ordered 2 and been fine but I was happy for leftovers! The sauces they serve with the tenders are fresh and herbaceous and you can tell they make it from scratch. I asked for no cilantro with the kale salad and it was so refreshing. The food hall it's located in is brand new and it still has that "just moved in" feel to it. Just note that my tab came to over $30 for what you see in the photo. I personally got three meals out of what I ordered so it was a deal for me but some may say that's pricey for a lunch meal ‍ I say try em out at least once so you can form your own opinion! Shop local!

    I have been eyeing Thai Bird since I got to San Antonio and I was NOT disappointed! My husband and I found Thai Bird at Make Ready Market Food Hall. The service was quick and painless, and the booth itself was really cute! The food however was ridiculously delicious! Hands down the best chicken tenders we've ever had! The tenders were so perfectly cooked and seasoned, you could eat them with no sauce and they are just as delicious, not to mention they were absolutely huge! They almost tasted like a satay style chicken tender which is something I didn't know I needed until now! The sauces served along with were delicious too! The flavors complimented the tenders so well! We also got the thai fruit and ginger pickles! Again, both amazing and everything went together so well. The fruit was sweet and seasoned so that it was the perfect salty/sweet combo. Everything was so good, I highly recommend going and giving them a try especially if you are into thai flavors! Can't wait to go back!

    These guys are the reason I found Make Ready Market. I really wanted fried chicken but they don't make it gluten free usually. So when I find rare things gluten free I am an instant fan. THIS PLACE IS SO GOOD!! The service is amazing and consistent. When I went they had a special of the day. The restaurant is in a food hall. So depending on when you go it could be loud and noisy. But the food is worth it.

    Been wanting to try and was finally able to head over the other week. Got 3 tenders and fries. Cute spot right as you walk in to the right. Tenders were big pieces the fries were as well they give 3 sauces which were all really good. It's great that it was all gluten free as well.

    Came here after reading some reviews online. The ambiance of the food court is amazing, with plenty of seating. The service provided by Thai Bird was great. The tenders are huge, but a bit on the pricier side. Same thing about the lemongrass tofu. The tenders are delicious, especially with the sauce that comes with it. Would definitely try the tenders again.

    Tenders and red curry corn
    Meilinn T.

    Everything I got here was mid. I got the three tenders and the red chile corn. The tenders are huge and look delicious with the curry coating but there wasn't much flavor there. Maybe it was missing salt or umami(?). I liked one of their sauces but their other one was very smoky! Which was a bit odd to me because I don't associate that flavor with Thai food. Their corn was described as corn in a cup-esque. When we got it, it was soupy, which is what I expected. But all the corn I got were just so soft. It felt like the corn has been just sitting in a crockpot all day waiting to be served. If you like soft almost mushy corn, I would say order it. I did want to come back to try their fries and other sides though. The staff was nice and I'm hoping they will perfect their recipes because it has potential! This is the only place in the building where you can get wine though. It's BYOG which i thought was cute and they also had a happy hour listed!

    Checked out make ready market for the first time and decided to try Thai Bird. Eh. Not something I'd get again. I'm familiar w/Thai food since one of my besties is from Thailand. I was excited to taste those flavors, which left me disappointed.

    5 tenders and fries

    I believe we have had Thai Bird four times now and we still want to go back for more! Their chicken is so crispy and juicy! It is pricey, but worth it! The owner is kind and the employees always recommend great options. They are located inside Make Ready Market, so I recommend you also explore the place. Great area and fun vibes.

    Thai bird is one of the few restaurants open in Made Ready Market and has us excited for what is to come! The menu is fairly straightforward serving fried chicken with various options for sides. We opted for the french fries, kale slaw and pickles. Everything tasted amazing and the sauces were delicious! The man who took our order was super nice and helpful! I definitely recommend checking out Thai Bird and the new make ready market!

    Way overpriced. $20 for 3 tenders and a tiny bit of rice is crazy. Food is average and definitely not worth the price. Location is nice.

    I had no idea there was so much Thai food in San Antonio but I happened to stumble upon this…read morespecific restaurant because of Google Gemini. Because I am on a work trip, I did not have to worry about pricing, but I did think that, although it is the standard, this meal was pretty expensive. It was over $33 but I did add a fried egg and extra chicken. I ordered the Krapo with medium spice and it was perfectly spicy. There was a perfect amount of Thai basil in the dish and it was wet enough for the rice to be a perfect addition. The bell peppers and the onions were absolutely spectacular. Now for the Boba. I ordered a combination of coconut, kiwi and watermelon. I also made sure that I subbed out the milk for coconut water as I cannot tolerate dairy. This Boba smoothie might be the best Boba I have ever had. I will say that the lid is kind of confusing because I do not know if the Thai restaurant makes it or if it is a neighboring restaurant. Regardless, I would be back just for this eight dollar Boba. Upon arriving to the restaurant, there was limited parking and inside it was super crowded. Obviously this is a popular spot and a lot of people ordered delivery through apps. It was kind of chaotic when picking up, but it was absolutely worth it. The restaurant was dark, but it did seem clean. My only grip here is that they must've been so rushed that they did not give me silverware or napkins. I had to beg my hotel to accommodate me.

    I was recommended this place after I found out my favorite Thai place closed. And it was very good…read more We came here because we didn't want to cook and needed some leftovers. The location was central to San Antonio but not super close to us in Schertz. The sign and chili mascot are pretty neat looking. And the restaurant itself is super clean and decorated very well. The buffet area seemed to be like it would be well stocked. They have a dedicated to go area. We tried to order the cheese rolls without crab, because neither of us like it. Sadly they couldn't do it and I understand. We ordered the chicken wings and dang they were good. Six wings to an order with jalapeños on the side. Came out fresh from the fryer. Seasoned well. I ordered the 61 chicken pad kee mao, and they say it's served on a bed of lettuce and man do they mean a bed of lettuce. Very fresh veggies, super tasty noodles. We also ordered the sesame chicken and again super good meal. Very tasty. Very fresh. Very good sauce. Nothing bad to say of it. We were here on a Monday night and man it was slow. Only other table there and I think the waitstaff needed to be cut. Because they were bored. Super bored. It was a lady and a guy. The guy who I know said his name but I'm just a terrible human and I don't remember it. Either way a good place to try. I do not know if I would be coming back. I think there are better places in the area to eat.
