    Mango Sticky Rice
    Zai A.

    I love That food and I always compare every Thai restaurant to the Thai food I've had in Thailand. A lot miss the mark but I will say Thai Chef is a must try. The service was A1 the waitress was very attractive and made a recommendation when I was torn between options. The restaurant is a nice size considering it is in a plaza. I ordered the seafood combination curry (Thai spicy) it was flavorful. The seafood was cooked perfectly. It was so good that I didn't even take a picture . When it came to dessert I couldn't pick so I had two: mango sticky rice and flan. Definitely suggest giving them a try.

    Pretty standard Thai strip center restaurant in Texas. Nice decor, friendly and very attentive service. Music on was fantastic. Pad Thai was ok. Skimpy on protein (chicken). Beer was cold

    It was busy, there was a lot of people. We had to wait a bit until being seated, but not too long. The food was fresh and everything was decent. I wasn't a fan of the Austin deep fried sushi rolls, BUT their regular sushi rolls (which came with the bento box were delicious). I had miso soup, but forgot to take a photo because I devoured it.. it tasted perfect! In terms of ambiance, the restaurant is a bit small, and maybe a bit crowded. Their high chairs are not typical sturdy wooden restaurant ones, and I felt a bit paranoid with my baby in it (because it has 4 individual legs, and if someone trips on the high chair they might take your baby down with them). Overall, a decent place to go, closer and more convenient than my favorite Japanese place in San Antonio. I think I'd prefer to take it out rather than dine in, but I would recommend it.

    A very small restaurant off FM78 between Schertz and Cibolo. The service was very nice and quite helpful. We started with the papaya salad. The fish sauce was a little heavy. The fruit with veggies came in rather large chunks with a side of romaine lettuce leaves. Might have been meant to be a lettuce wrap but it did not work well. Now ... the Pho and massaman were AMAZING. The veggie pho was full of lots of veggies ... amount and variety. The broth was savory. The massaman had a deep curry sauce ... a little heat that slowly built. Packed with chicken, potatoes and cashews ... rice on the side. The sauce was creamy and the dish was aromatic ... curry, cardamom, and cinnamon.

    By mistake I ended up at this restaurant. Never heard of it before. I had to follow my friend with a damaged tire to this side of town and stumbled upon it. We were starving! The place is packed! It is a smaller restaurant and every single table is occupied which made me even more curious to try it out. The waitresses are super friendly and the tables are so close to each other we started chatting with our neighbors. Everyone is praising the food. We get a curry, pad Thai, spring rolls and a couple other appetizers. To my surprise the food was delicious! I will definitely be back when I am on this side of town

    Thanks Rose for your great customer service and kindness.

    Great food and service with a smile Rose and Brandon were outstanding. I plan to return.

    These Drunken noodles were amazing! Packed with flavor!! Best noodles in town!

    The food here is incredibly savory! The drunken noodles are definitely a highlight. The amount of flavor in one dish should be illegal! Best noodles I have had in a long time! Definitely a hidden gem.

    Shrimp pad Thai was like a nuked brick cake!! Plastic fork did not stand a chance. I was very disappointed and shocked.

    I can't seem to find phonon their menu but many previous customers have purchased it and loved it. Is it named something else on the menu? Perhaps I looked at an older menu but can't seem to find the pho. Hmmm.

    I'd be really surprised if they'd taken it off te menu. The had 3 or 4 different types. I've only had the meatball pho, but it was outstanding. The staff and he owner are really friendly, just give them a call if you have any questions.

    UPDATE to my earlier review: Back visiting Texas from Hawaiʻi and Big Aloha's Aliʻi Cove in…read moreUniversal City keeps delivering. Same aloha spirit, even stronger now. Food is straight fire. Meat Jun (Korean egg-battered beef, so tender), Chicken Katsu (crispy panko perfection), Kalua Pig (that smoky island vibe), garlic shrimp, loco moco, teri chicken, Spam musubi. Big portions, perfect rice, legit mac salad every time. No watered down "Hawaiian inspired" nonsense. Every bite is the real island deal. Hawaii local food is that old school plantation days multicultural mix. Japanese, Filipino, Portuguese influences and more, all blended by Hawaii's cultures. Not strictly indigenous Hawaiian food. Service is family style aloha. Owner and staff super warm, welcoming, full of pride. You feel it in every plate. Portions huge, wait's worth it for the hype (call ahead, brah). As kamaʻāina visiting, this hits home hard. Straight comforting. If you're from Hawaiʻi traveling through, or don't know Hawaii local food but want the real old school plantation days multicultural deal (not pineapple ham pizza), make the drive. Closest thing to home out there. My San Antonio go-to. 5 stars, no cap. Returning every trip!

    The food was very authentic. Lots to choose from! There…read moreweren't any desserts that day but heard they have guava chiffon cake. Was hoping they sold mochi, but they did not. Fast and friendly service too! The ambiance is casual but has a waterfall with being dressed up for a potential of hosting large parties.
