    Soup and appetizer that comes with lunch combo
    Chastity S.

    The restaurant is clean, server was nice and attentive, and food came out hot and quick. There's limited parking in front, however plentiful parking in the back of the building. We opted to do the red curry and spicy chili beef lunch special. The egg rolls were great and the soup tasted like a delicious chicken soup. Spice level range from 0-4(hottest). For the curry we did a 3, pad kee mao(3), spicy chili beef a 2, and they were all great for our spice tolerance. I'm really picky about my pad kee mao aka drunken noodle and it was perfect! Will definitely be one of our go to Thai spots.

    Green curry

    That was some good curry! We stopped by for lunch and I decided to try the green curry. Did not think basil would go in curry but it works! My only complaint is that the scoop of rice it came with was very small (had to order another one). That said, the bowl of curry itself is huge and I think you can order some sides and a curry to share or get some fried rice and curry. Service was pretty quick and the restaurant is small but it had decent seating area for friends or family. Definitely recommend, I gotta come back to try other menu items!

    Traditional Thai food. Lunch specials are offered Monday through Friday from 11:00 to 2:30 pm.

    Yellow Curry Chicken

    Do not judge a book by its cover. From the outside it looks like an unassuming hole in the wall but it's the opposite inside. Very nicely decorated and clean. Also they got some nice music playing. The food was amazing!!! This will definitely be my go to spot for Thai food. My favorite dishes were the yellow curry and pad se ew. We also got the fried fish, so good. Very nice and highly recommend.

    Summer rolls (soft rolls) with peanut sauce
    Joan G.

    I have to admit I had second thoughts about walking in when we got there. Outside not inviting. However, decided I can't judge a book by its cover. Very pleasant inside. Server was excellent, very friendly and efficient. We got the Tom Yum soup and "soft rolls" (summer roll). Both were excellent my husband said the soup was the best he ever had. The summer rolls could have used some cucumber and basil in them. Then we had the Pad Thai and the Cashew chicken. Pad Thai was fresh. Their spice "level rating " was spot on. We ordered medium and it was perfect with spice but not too much. When we were done and ask for to go boxes the server helped us box up. Over all a great dining experience.

    Chicken pad Thai
    Kaylee G.

    Went around 3p, it wasn't busy. Service was good and fast. Wait time for food was minimal Soft rolls where very light and refreshing. The peanut sauce was served warm which was a nice off set with the cold soft roll Chicken pad this was very good and flavorful. I think there needs to be more meat...just my preference. The spice levels are off by a lot. Mild was like there was no spice at all. The thi hot which is the hottest one was like a medium.

    Pad Kee Mao
    Matthew P.

    Just wanted some Thai food and this little hidden gem hit the spot. I'll be honest upon parking here you look around and think "I don't know seems kind of off". It's definitely a hole in the wall place with great food and service. I ordered a Pad Kee Mao and it was delicious. Good amount of meat, veggie, and noodle ratio and it wasn't overly bearing in spice. Also took sticky rice and mango to go and it had the right amount of sweetness to the sauce. The service was on point with the constant check up and refills. The environment was cozy and clean. I would go back and try out more of their dishes.

    Hidden away in a small strip center off fry rd and 529 is a great little Thai restaurant. So easy to pass up for a flashy name or a place with better parking, Thai Chef is honestly worth stopping in for. While it is outside of my normal driving area, I happily make the drive for their excellent dishes and great service. Their Pad Thai is fantastic and if you aren't feeling like eating a whole entree all of their starters make for a delightful and filling carryover until dinner. Although they are Closed on Tuesday you will find that there is sometimes very little elbow room at peak hours here, but don't let that stop you from trying to get a seat.

    Every time I crave Thai food in Houston, I make a stop at Nua Thai. You're generally sat really…read morequickly, and the food comes out quick too. I've only got to-go from here once, and from what I remember, the wait wasn't too bad. The parking is quite difficult since the lot is so small. To share, we got an order of crispy veggie spring rolls and a bowl of tom kha with chicken. Both always hit the spot. Some Thai spots make tom kha too salty but I think this one is seasoned well. We also ordered pad see ew and pad woon sen with tofu. So delicious! The portions are pretty generous, so we had a good amount to take home.

    I went into this restaurant with a big group. I ordered a thai iced tea and a pad see ew…read more Pad See Ew - It was very soft, sweet, and smoky just the way I like it. I ordered it with beef, and the beef was very tender and not dry at all. Furthermore, the overall dish has the wok hay flavor and was one of my favorite pad see ews I've ever had. Thai Iced Tea - it was your average thai iced tea where it wasn't mixed at first(which I think is a sign of authenticity!) and sweet at the perfect level with condensed milk. What makes this a four star was that the service was a little iffy in my opinion. Even though we were in a large group which makes it harder for waiters to order, the waiter stared at one of my friends and started mumbling despite him already ordering which made it pretty awkward.

When you come in, wait to be seated, order and pay at the table. 2. Price - approximately $15 a plate. 3. Ambiance - Classy restaurant. I love the white linen on the tables. Soft music, white and red walls with Thai decor. Natural lighting during the day with warm interior lighting. It appears that there has been a makeover to the restaurant. I like the new look more. It seems more upscale in appearance. Dress code here is business casual. 4. Food - I've had their YELLOW CURRY WITH CHICKEN AND WHITE RICE. Curry is a bit sweet to my liking, but overall, it was a good meal. Will have to try other dishes next time. Food presentation is nicely plated. Not messy or sloppy. 5. Cleanliness - dining area is clean. The waitstaff keeps this place in tip top shape. The only complaint I have, although not exactly about cleanliness, I would suggest that management take a look at the lock in the men's restroom. Although it was locked, someone was able to enter still. SUMMARY This is a petite Thai cafe. Everything about this place was enjoyable. I would definitely come back to try again and will highly recommend this place.

It's cute from the outside, and as soon as you walk in, you're warmly welcomed by both the waitress and waiter. Once seated, they were quick with drink orders and attentive throughout service was impeccable...For food, I ordered my go to Tom Kha Kai, along with the crab wontons from their happy hour menu. The Tom Kha had a lighter, more watery base than the rich coconut flavor I'm used to. I know this can vary by region, so it wasn't bad, just not my personal preference...The cream cheese crab wontons were decent and nicely presented. They also served a complimentary appetizer, which was a fun surprise, a taco shaped fried wonton wrapper filled with cabbage and their house dressing...Overall, if you're looking for a quick Thai bite with excellent service, this place works. I'm giving it 3.5 out of 5 not because it's bad, but because the flavors didn't quite match what I personally look for. For what it is, it's solid. -- Pilgrim Sojourner

    This restaurant shares a parking lot with the Hobbit Cafe so space can be a little tight/limited…read more Despite it being a Friday night, my friend and I were able to be seated right away. For drinks, I got the Mekhong Mojito and it was sweet and refreshing! For appetizers, we got the crispy squid and the crispy wonton- crispy squid was good but if you had to choose between the two, get the crispy wonton! As for the entree, I ordered the Khao Soi with shrimp and my friend ordered the spicy red snapper. The curry broth with coconut milk was fragrant and with the toppings that came on the side (i.e. lime, onions/shallots, mustard greens, etc) enhanced the dish. The flat egg noodles were bouncy and the shrimp was solid. If you're stuck between choosing a curry dish and a noodle dish, get the best of both worlds and order the Khao Soi! As for my friend's spicy red snapper, I tried a bite and the spices/texture in the dish complimented the fish very well. For dessert, we ordered the classic Mango Sticky Rice! The mango was soft/sweet, the rice and sauce had that salty coconutty flavor. Aside from the delicious food, the interior is cozy and the waiters here were friendly and gave great advice on what to order. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and are craving good thai food!

They have that street food vibe as a well representation of their name, Rim Tanon, which means roadside. With dedicated parking that fills up quick during peak times, it may be difficult to locate parking as it is shared with a few other restaurants and the spaces are quite tight. We tried their appetizers including Salmon Rolls (flavorfully packed with cream cheese, salmon, and spinach in a crispy shell and loving that actually spicy mayo on the side), Thai Style Jerky (deep fried and sun dried marinated pork and beef served with sticky rice rolls and side spicy tamarind sauce, a bit too dry/chewy), Fried Tofu (perfect little triangles, so good by itself or with the side sweet and sour sauce with crushed peanuts), Chive Pancake (deep fried and chive packed triangles with a slight chew to it, great by itself or with it's spicy soy sauce companion). As for the mains, the Spicy Seafood Fried Rice is a good value as it was loaded with all sort of fruits of the sea (shrimp, squid, and mussel), with prominent lemongrass and kaffir lime aroma, but a bit wet or moist for a fried rice dish, the Crabmeat Omelet is served with a nice portion of lump crabmeat where you can taste the flavor of the seafood and add sriracha to liking, and the Beef Pad See Ew is made appetizing with wok charred flat rice noodles along with a savory blend of soy sauce, Chinese broccoli and egg. The portion size is alright and filling for a moderately hungry individual, though it would've been even better a tad bigger for those coming in hangry. I'll be back for more when I'm craving some modern Thai food and especially want to try their curry dishes. Service was quick and efficient, attentive to refills on drinks and friendly!
