    Thai Cottage
    Aruna K.

    Thai Cottage on Bellaire Must be the oldest and one of the first, the earliest review is from 17 years ago ! Its still surviving, they must be doing something right... I like the pastel interior. Nothing too loud. This one painting from days of yore covered one part of the entire wall adding color and vibrancy while still being subtle. Tasteful. The cushion covers on the other hand could do well with a change, but that I guess will require more dine- in customers .... They had quite a few vegetarian options. Got the crispy spring roll, which was really hot and fresh off the stove but a little overcooked to the extent that I felt slightly burnt. I finished it all the same .... it didn't bother me much .....lol For entrees got the Chilli tofu and Red curry It took a while to come. Both were accompanied by a plate of hot jasmine rice. We took the option of medium spicy and that was perfect. At $15 each, felt that the quantity justified the price. Red curry with the bamboo shoots and the chilli tofu both had good texture and taste. I wouldn't mind stopping here again. Prisco attended to us. He was quick and friendly and came to check in us, well, we were the only customers to be dining in, there sure were a couple of others probably uber eats and the like who carried out.

    Panang Curry

    HELLO HELLO HELLOOOOOO Let's TURN UP THE HEATTTT AT WORK ... I thoroughly enjoyed the coconuttttyyyy and creeaaaaammmyyyy texture of the curry. The Thai iced tea was also the PERFECT COMPLEMENT. I added some more crunchy chili sauce so I definitely needed that touch of sweetness. Our waitress was very sweet and responsive. I also LOVED the decor of the place!

    Salad that comes with lunch special

    I should have left instead of being seated upstairs. I was brought a glass of water. I ordered a tofu with yellow curry. My veggie egg roll never came. I asked for a slice of lemon for my water and never got it. Kiera was my waitress. She was trying her best. The egg roll had to be packed to go because I never received it. My yellow curry with tofu and vermicelli was good. Once downstairs as I was leaving, I ordered a Thai iced tea to go. It's delicious. Parking can be challenging at lunchtime.

    Pad Thai Noodle and Inferno Rice
    Angelo C.

    Was craving Thai food and this place was the closest to me. Pretty solid! I got the pad Thai, inferno rice, vegggie rolls and panang curry, the essential. I love spicy food and ordered them all hot and they weren't super spicy they were okay. Honestly a go place to go if you're close by and you want some decent Thai food. Place was packed for a Sunday. While I was passing by I saw the back cooks busy, mostly Latinos. Nice place to try or to eat from if it's close by! Portions are big!

    Spring Roll
    Jando S.

    Judging by all the awards and accolades on the wall, it appears the heydey for Thai Bistro was nearly 2 decades ago (#1). The place is reminiscent of many Asian establishments in this part of town: a diminished authentic experience semi-overpriced, and primed for the palates of folks in this part of town. On looks alone, Thai Bistro seems to stand out a bit more than the neighboring businesses. It shares the underpass of Summit Square (#2) with a good amount of al fresco dining outdoor seating options. Looks can be somewhat deceiving, as the inside is a little more tight than I would have imagined despite the second level seating. It might not feel super group friendly, but it's definitely got casual date vibes and lunch destination feels. Given how pricey the a la carte options (#3) are, I'd recommend the lunch special which was $12 and under for an entree, mini app, and drink. The options include items such as the bbq lemongrass tofu, pad thai, panang chicken curry, chicken basil inferno, and yellow curry vermicelli. I didn't find much of anything that exciting but we still ordered a heap of food any way. The tom yum was probably the highlight. The prawns were fresh, the smell was fragrant, and the broth was flavorful despite being crazy dark. The fish cakes were a bit of a bummer as they were oily and bland. The pad thai was passable but the penang curry was substantially better. Pad see ew felt average and the fried dumplings / spring rolls were a total bust. When it comes to appetizers, I'd probably stick with the satays or none at all. Minus the food miscues, the real kicker was the service. They were just so slow that it took longer for us to get our check than it did for us to eat our meals. It was hard getting someone's attention for usual things such as water refills or simply ordering more food. There were a lot of uncleaned tables at the end of service but few folks tending to them. I realize that I'm not the target clientele and that's okay. I think I expected this given everything, but it'll likely be awhile before I'm back. ___________ (#1) 2006 / 2007. (#2) Exhibit A: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/thai-bistro-houston?select=U2eYGpP1q29VKf21TNCk7w (#3) $23 for some crab fried rice? Okay then.

    Pad Thai Noodle
    Isabella R.

    their chicken pad thai is bomb, the flavor is always amazing and feels homey + got the cheese rolls but didn't take a pic because i ate those pretty fast. i usually order online but the service in person is good and the place is cute :))

    Shrimp Pad Thai Noodle
    Wendy C.

    We were around the area and craving for some Thai food, so we stumbled into this cute little place. The environment is very chill, and European for us. We said it seems more like we were in an Italian or Spanish relationship. However, we started out with their assorted appetizers. I was amazed by their spring rolls. We both agreed it's the best spring rolls we've ever had. Not sure how they made it differently, but super yummy. The rest of the appetizers were 9/10 as well. Chicken satay is on the simple side, I wish we were more amazed by it. Then, we picked shrimp pad Thai and chicken lettuce wrap as the entrees. The shrimp pad Thai was not bad at all. And if you like spicy, I recommend to eat it with the dry chili powder. Unfortunately, the chicken lettuce wrap wasn't our favorite. I was hoping for something else, but if you like something lighter, this entree might be a good choice. At least the chicken was tender and juicy.

    Tom Yum Shrimp
    Patrick L.

    Restaurant is located in a strip mall on US 59 frontage road. They offer inside and outside seating. When we came in, we were quickly shown to our table. We ordered our usual menu that we order in other Thai restaurants to compare. They are well known for their Panag curry where they have a Houston Chronicle write up. We started with the Tom Yum Shrimp. It was decent and had a good number of shrimps. We also tried the papaya salad and was decent as well. Next up was their famous Penang curry... I can see why it is popular. It's is very tasty and would recommend trying it. We also ordered stir fried pork basil dish which was ok. Lastly, we had the mango sticky rice for dessert. Thought it was better than most we had before. Mango was sweet and rice was sweet and creamy. Since our favorite Thai place suddenly shut down, we have been looking for a place to go. Definitely worth trying out.

    Fish Fillet in Tamarind Sauce
    Lisa H.

    Tried this place for the first time today & it was pretty decent. There's a large parking lot, but seats inside seem to be limited. Their menu is pretty big. They also have a lunch special menu. Service was good. Staff are friendly. Food was great except for their chicken soup which was a bit too salty... I recommend the fish fillet in tamarind sauce. It's delicious!! Also the Tom Kha soup is a must

    Glass noddles / Chicken Larb Salad

    Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. The service was phenomenal with great recommendations. Truly a wonderful experience--will definitely be returning!

    Thai Iced Tea
    Sunny B.

    Solid Thai Place in Houston! There's always a decent number of people inside when I visit but it is never full enough to have to wait for a spot to sit. They do have an upstairs area for larger parties as well. The restaurant is inside a large plaza right off 59 so there are plenty of parking spots. I've tried a few dishes here. Their dishes are vegetable heavy. My go to is the Blazing Noodle vegan with tofu and veggies. They accommodate no fish/oyster sauce if you ask for dishes to be vegan. Their Panang curry is also delicious Their Thai Iced Tea is less creamy than other restaurants and not overly sweet.

    Classic Thai Inferno Seafood dish consisting of shrimp, squid and scallop
    Jellybean A.

    Both the food and service was mediocre, There are just too many good Thai restaurants to revisit even if you are buying Papaya Salad--solid 4/5. I added more lime to mine. Something a tad off Tom Yum Soup--3/5. small size soup was $7.50. Pricy for a small bowl. Had theee juicy shrimp in it so guess that makes up for it? I ordered Thai spicy but it wasn't really that spicy. Just a lot of red peppers floating in the soup Lastly and mostly terribly the Thai Classic Inferno coming at 1/5. It's a seafood dish consisting of shrimp, squid and scallop. There were like three shrimps, three to four small pieces of squid and two small scallops. Shrimps were juicy and fresh, but as for the squid, it tasted terrible, not at all fresh. It had a terrible after taste that follow when the seafood is not fresh. The scallops not bad but were rather under cooked. They filled up the dish with carrots and onions, not seafood, both the price and flavor did not deserve $17.95. I can only remember one other Thai restaurant as bad as this in Houston. I tend to tip at least 20% but here I didn't feel bad tipping right at 10% why did the hell did I come eat here?

Upon arrival, I was pleased to find ample, effortless parking available, which always sets a delightful tone for a meal. However, stepping inside was where the true magic began I was absolutely captivated by the extraordinary decor. The venue is tastefully curated with authentic Thai statues, traditional toys, carved wooden boats, and serene Buddha figures, creating an ambiance that instantly transports one straight to Bangkok or Pattaya. The hospitality was top-tier from start to finish, seamlessly balancing efficiency with genuine warmth. To begin, I ordered a traditional Thai Iced Tea, which arrived crisp, wonderfully smooth, and expertly chilled. For my luncheon, I selected the Pad Thai, which was served delightfully over fresh banana leaves a charming, authentic touch that elevates the entire presentation. When the dish arrived, it was an absolute culinary triumph vibrant, rich with complex flavors, and executed with superb skill. Between the immaculate cleanliness, immersive aesthetic, exquisite cuisine, and flawless service, this market gem earns absolute full marks from me.

I would definitely come back to try again and will highly recommend this place.

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.
