I was craving some crispy fish and really enjoy the garlic fish fillet dish here. It comes in a tangy sauce with cabbage, baby corn, and mushrooms. It's a very nice portion and pairs well with the steamed rice. We got the sate chicken for an appetizer and it was fresh, hot, and tender. I wanted some noodles so I got a tofu pad Thai. Unfortunately I found it to be overwhelmingly sweet. Even adding plenty of lime and chili did not balance it out. Next time I'll try a different noodle dish. The restaurant is on the smaller side but has a decent amount of seating. The servers are nice. One thing that stuck out for me on this last visit was that the soda sucked. Got a Coca Cola at first and it was very flat and tasted watered down. Then got a sprite and it just tasted off. Overall this is in and enjoyable, chill Thai place in the Bellaire area. read more

I love me some good food, and this is it. It is insanely yummy. Like the yummiest of Thai food I've ever had.

This is my first time trying Thai food! I can with my family to have lunch and we saw this place passing by. We were greeted by our server who was very friendly and also spoke Spanish which was great for my parents! The inside is very cozy and nice! The music was at a good level too! I ordered the lunch special Pad Thai with level 3 spicy and it was very good! The spice level was tolerable and delicious! It came with the option of a soup or salad, I got the salad that came with a veggie roll! I ended up getting another order of veggie rolls! As a family, we ordered the spicy basil friend rice with level 3 spice. All of the prices were reasonable and the portions were big! The pad Thai can probably be shared with someone. It was super good! I highly recommend to anyone that is looking to try Thai food! read more

I think this place is good! There could be better places, but for a place that's in the loop and close by, you can't beat the food and the convenience. I have been here a couple of times and always get level 3 spice, which is like a fun spice level for me (and I love spicy food). This time, I decided to do a 10 because why not? I have to say it wasn't that spicy. The delta in spiciness goes down as the number goes up. Mathematically, if the magnitude of spiciness is Y, the slope goes down as the spice number (X) goes up. It's almost like a graph that looks like Y = 1 - (1/ (X+1)) Still good, though. I would come back! read more

This was my first time dining in at this location. When you walk in, it is very clean and updated. Overall, the decor & ambience is modern & very appealing to the eye. We came in during lunch time so we ordered off of their lunch menu. Each entree came with a starter soup or salad & fried spring roll. You get a choice of protein for each entree option with NO UPCHARGE! I ordered the chicken garlic & pepper & my friend ordered the shrimp yellow curry. We both got a salad to start with vinaigrette dressing & it was pretty good. The garlic & pepper chicken was soooo good & very flavorful. It was my friend's first time having yellow curry and she really enjoyed it. We will definitely be back! read more

The lunch special is a great deal $11.50 for salad/soup + large portion entree. We were pleasantly surprised that it is available on weekends too. The staff is nice. The pad Thai and the peanut sauce were both a little too sweet in my opinion so I'd probably order something else next time. The vinaigrette was a better option for salad dressing. I've had the curry before and it's great. read more

Thai Cottage - Bellaire - Shrimp pad Thai lunch portion - Thai Near Me - Bellaire, Texas

Been coming to Thai Cottage on and off for years. Recently more off then on due to a move. Found myself in the area and decided to get my regular staple from them- Yellow Curry with Chicken. Typically their curry is on the sweeter side, and the perfect texture, not water thin and not goopy thick. This time, I got more potatoes, carrots and chicken then curry itself. I didn't mind this too much since I hate when places don't give enough potatoes, which I love. I would preferred more curry but I could live with it. Until I had the chicken. It was pink, and rubbery. I noticed every piece of chicken looked off in its coloring, more pink then anything, and figured I'd try just a small tidbit of one piece to see what was going on. It was so rubbery and chewy I spat it out. Was really disappointed that they would serve that to a customer as it didn't feel safe to consume. There's so many Thai restaurants in Houston, I'll be going elsewhere next time. read more

Very low quality ingredients and chicken Food tastes bad Service is bad I think they're understaffed The curry was cold and the prices are steep for what it is.

the tea to go was a bit of a rip off $7 for a standard size was not very big. the pad thai was pretty small too also came with what looked to be little chunks of tofu or sausage even tho beef version was ordered. the beef was not very good. read more

PARKING: There is a lot of parking in front and on the side of the building. AMBIANCE: It is a casual Thai restaurant. FOOD/DRINKS: I came in during a weekday to try their lunch. They have a variety of dishes to choose from! You can pick either to get soup of the day or a salad, and it also comes with a crispy veggie egg roll + your lunch dish. I ended up ordering the beef Pad Thai. Good amount of noodles and meat ratio. I thought it was good at first, but as I continue eating, it started to get too salty for my taste. I am not sure if it was an off day or that's what it is supposed to be. If I were to come back, I would try something else. I also ordered that Thai Iced Tea (5/5) would recommend this. It was really fragrant and refreshing which I believe they actually brew the tea leaves to make this. SERVICE: Service is excellent. As we got seated, we noticed there was water on the table, and our waiter immediately wiped it for us before we got the chance to ask. read more

Anna & Prisco are awesome!!! They always take good care of us!! Great food & great service!!!

It's in the most random alley/street in Bellaire but it has big portions, decent prices, and yummy food. It's clean here and has plenty of space. My family and I got pad Thai, pad see ew, and drunken noodles. I also got a Thai tea (very rich and creamy, on the sweeter side). The pad Thai was perfect, the pad see ew was lacking in noodle (had more toppings than noodle and was a bit burnt), and the drunken noodles had a great kick to them. Had a good experience this time and I usually do! read more

Thai cottage is always a good idea! It's such a neighborhood staple and our go to take out when we don't cook! The food is always prepared to perfection.

Love coming here and I'm so glad this location is so close to us! Service is always fast weather we carry out or dine in. read more

We shared a couple lunch specials. You get a choice between soup or a thai salad with it. My wife got the soup and I went with the salad, both very good. The Princess of Siam was very good, came with rice and a lot of grilled veggies.... and the chicken Teriyaki was amazing, it came with rice and veggies. Both meals came with a crispy egg roll. read more

Green chicken curry is delicious and so fresh! I got take out, and it was enough food for two meals. Totally recommend!

Delicious as always, this is my first time at their loved location across from HEB. It's much bigger than their old location and I love the light blue and white colors. Service is always on point and the food is always hot and fresh. I orders my normal favorites: Thai Tea, Wings of Paradise (crispy fried chicken wings with garlic in special sauce, garnished with fried sweet basil) and Yellow Curry (Southern Thai style yellow curry paste in coconut milk with choice of meat, firm cube potatoes, carrots and red onions) with Chicken. My friend ordered the Papaya Salad (Som Tum) with shredded green papaya and carrots with dried shrimps, roasted peanuts, tomatoes and garlic in lime dressing. She also ordered the Pad Woon Sen with stir-fried silver noodles with sliced meat, onions, tomatoes, carrots and egg in light brown sauce. Both were great. Always a favorite place for Thai food. read more

Picked up my food and didn't notice until i got home that it was burned. The fried rice smells, tastes and obviously looks burned. The cashews are burned as well. I'm super disappointed that they would put this in a to go order when it was clearly burnt. Today i walked by the trash can and thought one of my appliances was burning. There was no way the cook or person preparing the meal could not tell this was unacceptable. read more

1st time going there for lunch. Food was ok but service can improve. I was there to pickup my lunch to go back and eat. I sat there and nobody came to tell me food is ready. I had to go ask. Plus I asked if the plastic ware was in the bag and was told yes but it was NOT. Most probably will not go back. Nicely done from inside! read more

Serving size was excellent and the flavors were popping! Order came quickly not a long wait at all. My only issue (which isn't an issue) I unfortunately cannot tolerate spicy food so I requested Mild Spicy...but even that was too spicy for me. Lesson learned! Next time I'll order No Spice. read more

Their prices are good the food is even better. I always get something different every time I've. I have never been disappointed. The service is quick and friendly. read more

I used to frequent Thai Cottage at their original location. But years have gone by and I just hardly think about this restaurant. I needed to get lunch food to go for my Mom & I, before I dropped her off at relatives and I called in a to go order for easy pick up. I recall they get orders out quickly. I emphasized "NO peanuts" as my Mom is highly allergic!!! I even said please let the kitchen person preparing this order know ASAP as a double precaution! When I returned home with the to go orders, I opened up Mom's "Pad Thai" selection and I was shocked - yes there was tons of chopped peanuts! I find the person taking my order, as well as the kitchen person preparing it, both at fault! I quickly called the restaurant and I really made a big deal! I told her how serious this was and I reiterated that she took my order and I said "no peanuts!" She said sorry! I demanded an immediate refund, as I tossed both our to go meals in the trash! I just could not take a chance of cross-contamination! I noticed on-line, that I was only given a refund on my Mom's order. I now have to call and deal with this again. I realize this pandemic has worn out a lot of food establishments and they are short of help, but there is absolutely "NO excuse" not hand walking a called in order with a serious "peanut allergy" properly! I will never return and I will NOT recommend Thai Cottage either! read more

The food was tasty, the atmosphere was nice and the service was very good. I like to have dessert with my meal and not many places have dessert with Thai restaurants. They had pandan ice cream with fried banana, and it was very authentic. read more

Great food, good service, & nice location! The Pad Thai was wonderful. It was great to learn that even their spicy specialties can be turned into non spicy classics. read more

I did not want to come here. I thought this was a chain and it would taste like a chain. But my food was yummy. Can't compare it to authentic Thai home cooking, but relative to my NYC days, I like this Thai food enough that I got nostalgic for my evenings dining on Thai food in Park Slope in Brooklyn, NY with friends before or after gallery hopping, park walking, and art making. Ambiance was mood enhancing. Low key, airy, yet polished. Service was mindful, gentle, kind, yet gets done what needs to get done. read more

Beautiful decor! I came here once when it was where the new H-E-B is located and loved the food. I actually did not realize it had moved just across the street. It's pretty well hidden if you are not driving through that back street. We came in on a Saturday the customer service was great. My mom had the pineapple curry with shrimp and I had the yellow curry with chicken, we ordered the fried egg rolls the veggie ones, everything was delish! We ended our meal with the homemade coconut ice cream and sweet rice we loved it. We will definitely be returning. Oh make sure you check the times before you go by as they close and re open for dinner. read more

My family and I have been going to Thai Cottage bellaire for years. It's definitely the best of the Thai Cottage locations. I've tried other locations around Houston and the dishes lack flavor. The staff is delightful, especially Miss Angie. She's so wonderful! She gives the best recommendations and always remembers my orders. I've tried most of the dishes but my favorite ones are the Red Curry Beef, chicken princess Siam, Drunken Noodles, Wings of Paradise, Cashew Beef and shrimp Tom Kha Gai soup. Honestly everything is delicious! Make sure you get everything level 3-4 spicy so you can really enjoy all the flavor. Their Thai tea and sticky rice with mango are also a must. Miss Angie will always let you know if the mango is ripe and in season and if it's not she'll recommend something just as tasty. read more

Ordered take-out from their lunch menu (available even on Saturday). The food tasted amazing - the old neighborhood faithful still impresses! The lunch specials are of course a smaller portion than usual - if you want larger portions you can order from the full size regular menu. We had red and green curries and the sticky rice with mango. The Tom Yum soup that came with the lunch special was delicious (note that it's a soup of the day so the lunch soup may be different on other days). However, fried spring roll that was also part of the lunch special was mostly devoid of filling! Nevertheless - our main entrees were so yummy I shall give the full 5 stars. If I could I would order a giant pot of their Tom Yum soup to enjoy all day. Walk in and head to their counter at the back to pick-up orders. read more

Awful! Wanted to enjoy the food but it was unbearably spicy. The fish cake and satay chicken were the only two items that were not spicy. We ordered garlic pepper shrimp, stir fry veggies and crab fried rice and a wide noodle. We asked for a 5/10 spice level online. The food was more like a 15/10!!' I had severe heartburn and chest pain after that. Not returning. read more

Pad see ew has good flavor but chicken was way over cooked and dry. Basil chicken I chose 2/10 spice level which should be mild (when I usually enjoy mild to medium) and it's too spicy to eat. Disappointed as this is the closest Thai spot to our house. read more

Thai Cottage - Bellaire - Garlic and Pepper Lover Lunch Special - Thai Near Me - Bellaire, Texas

I was impressed with the service by the waiter. I ordered a Thai tea, but didn't know it came with milk. So I requested one without it. He was pleasantly replaced it for me. So you asked why I only gave Thai Cottage a 2-star. Please read on. The food was okay. I'm not a fan of sweet food. I felt like eating syrup, not Thai food. The tea was super sweet. I think that was why I got a glass of water on the side. The soup had a very strong after-taste and it had so much beef with little liquid. Was I their last customer? Up till this point, I rated it 3 stars. (My rating on restaurants of visiting cities is on a scale of 2 to 4.) Sorry to say that they lost a star for eating their lunch behind the counter where customers could see. Oh, also the door knob for men's room was broken. Yikes. read more

Thai Cottage - Bellaire - Lunch special $6.95 for pad Thai, beef soup and an egg roll. Thai tea not included. - Thai Near Me - Bellaire, Texas

Just left restaurant picking up lunch. Not my first time eating Thai food but first time at Thai. Food was ready within 20-25 mins. Had the combo fry rise and appetizer garlic wings I believe they are call. I wanted to give a 5 but instead my score is 4. Really! The food is extremely fresh and pretty tasty. My personal suggestion is that instead of 3 medium shrimp I would suggest atleast 4 in the fry rice. I just luv shrimp. Then they could add add more scallion, a little more scramble eggs and add some bean sprouts . I'm so use to my fry rice in NY being fully loaded. Location is small and cozy. Parking is not to bad. You have to park outside the building. I would suggest trying the food again and recommend other Thai lovers to try it out too read more
