I've been coming here since I was about 16, and now at 42 I still make a point to stop by anytime I'm in town. It's just as good as I remember. No frills, great vibe, welcoming atmosphere, and consistently great service. The food is always amazing! read more

Thai Dee - Crab Rangoon!!! Yum, Yum, YUM!!! - Thai Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

05 Oct 2025 First time here. We don't usually do Thai food. Took the plunge today. Started with the potstickers, which were quite good. I think chicken and maybe pork filling, slightly fried served with soy sauce. I had the Pannang Noodles (fried noodles with curry sauce and I chose chicken). The husband had the Thai Light (supposedly not so spicy; had shrimp, sliced carrots, etc. He said it was a bit spicy). He ate it. Mine made my lips numb despite asking for just a '2' spice level. Ha, ha. It was still good. I should have taken the rest of the sauce to go. It would have been great over white rice tomorrow. Service was pretty good even though it started getting quite crowded about half an hour after we got there. We didn't get tea refills. Two servers on the floor. Also a healthy to-go business. Not a bad visit. Go there. read more

For over a decade this has been my favorite Thai restaurant in San Antonio. It's always robust, flavorful, and spiced perfectly. The curry bowls are my favorite. Green Curry Noodle has been my go to from the beginning. Their appetizers are amazing, soups are unbeatable, and sauces next level. I can't express enough how lucky we are to have Thai Dee in this city. The prices are affordable for the portion size, the service is always amazing, and the food always delivers. They are BYOB so you can bring your own beer or wine in at no additional fee. Don't skip out on this hidden gem. read more

Thai Dee use to be our favorite restaurant. My teenage son, then husband and I went most Friday's for a year. We also celebrated his graduation, his enlistment, took friends from out of town. Since moving back to SA after several years away, I relocated near our favorite restaurant. The original owner retired. The food pales compared to what it was. The chicken is over processed or dry or both. The quality and flavor of the soups, curries and any of the appetizers lacks any authentic Thai flavor, consistency or appetizing presentation. The menu prices have greatly increased while the quality of this "Thai" food has bottomed out. It was a jewel, parking lot was always overflowing, and atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the original owners treated us like family friends. 1-5 Thai Dee on Blanco was a 5, now it's barely a 1. read more

TLDR: A hidden gem of a place that's apparently a quarter-century long staple for Thai food in San Antonio. Thai Dee is a nifty little spot with very attentive service and a unique atmosphere. It's nice when a restaurant is consistent, and this one's been so good that one of my dining companions has been coming here on and off for 20+ years! The three dishes tried were the pad woon sen, the pad kee mao, and the pad see eew. The woon sen is a little on the dry side, understandable as it's got mung bean noodles in it. The flat rice noodles in the other two dishes were excellent, and the kee mao had a zippy amount of spice in it! There are two items to keep in mind: 1) This restaurant is all hard surfaces, so it gets LOUD in here. 2) Parking is limited to around five spots and it's shared with a convenience store that *will* tow you, so check where you park! This place scores a 5 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK having a nosh here with Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here. 1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good. I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either. read more

I don't know how I haven't reviewed this restaurant before. It is a staple in my eating-out rotation mainly because it is so consistently delicious and nearby. This is my favorite restaurant to enjoy a plate of pad woodsen with tofu. A simple dish but done exceptionally well and the entire staff makes me feel welcomed and appreciated whenever I order. Overall I cannot recommend it enough. Only drawbacks are small size and small parking lot that seems to always just only have one last parking spot open. Don't judge the shady location too hard, there is an excellent interior and it's BYOB (optional)! read more

This has been a favorite for years now! I love the pad thai and many other dishes, but I always come back for that! They know me at this point and are always sweet and welcoming when I order in person or online, in person is a great experience and the atmosphere is nice and relaxed inside with a small business charm! read more

It was the first time my friends & I dined at this restaurant (the deciding factor among 2 other choices was the availability of sticky rice with mango). It was a pleasant experience for the four of us: the food was tasty & the servings were generous. There were only a few customers when we got there at 5:30 on a Saturday evening but the customers slowly started streaming in as the night wore on. Some seemed like they are regular customers, always a good sign that we made a good choice. It was nearly full by the time we left at 7. We will definitely be back the next time we see a show at NESA (Northeast School of the Arts) just a few blocks around the corner. read more

Quiet little restaurant. The food was very good and service was excellent. Definitely recommend.

Don't. Just don't. Pad Thai was soggy and sweet for some reason. Asked for 4/5 spicy level (not Thai spicy but 1 below). Just bad. Worst pad Thai I have ever eaten. read more

It's been a minute since I was here last. Happy to say they're still the same, fantastic!! The service and food are spot on. It's nice when a restaurant is consistent. I had the Green Curry with chicken. The spice level was perfect. The flavor was amazing. Such a delicious meal. My son had the Thai Dee Curry with shrimp. This meal was also very good. My husband had the Khee Moa. I love this . The noodles, veggies and the spice. The perfect mix. read more

This place has been a hit or miss for me! I've gotten take out here twice and the first time, the pad kee mao had the amount of spice and flavor you want in the drunken noodles, but the 2nd and 3rd time I ordered it, it lacked the spice and fish sauce-basil flavor. The pad thai the first 2 times were not great but my third time, the beef in the pad thai was super tender and the amount of tang and sweetness in rhe pad thai was amazing. I'm torn between giving this a 3 or 4 stars because of the inconsistency. I also ordered a papaya salad and it was way too sour. I do appreciate the ambiance of the place. Service was great all 3 times! It's clean and despite the small parking lot, I was able to park in front all 3 times. Hopefully, the next time I'm back, I can update my review and provide a higher rating read more

Been there several times always good food n service. Love that we can take our own wine . This time tried the Pad Thai which was a little sweet for my liking but otherwise good. read more

Continues to be a family fav after many years. Parking is not great not enough spaces but we always mange to be able to park. I cannot remember the last time I saw a new staff member and for me that's says something!!! It is dark in there so my blind family member rarely joins us, unfortunate. That sounds like it wouldn't matter but if u know u know. They do allow u to bring in your own alcohol AND MANY DO. read more

Some of the very best Thai food in San Antonio! The Thai beef salad is exceptional, flavorful, fresh and the beef is tender. The spicy eggplant with chicken, beef and hot peppers, pad see ew and pad woonsen equal deliciousness too. Don't forget to get a jasmine iced tea, refreshing and soooo good. read more

I ordered Pad See Ew it was a little dry, my husband ordered Moo Ping and he absolutely loved it so we ordered a second to go. We also had the spring rolls they were so crunchy and delicious paired with the sauce. The two female waitresses were very attentive and although I didn't like the pad see ewe I'll be returning to try another dish. The restaurant was clean so were the restrooms we will be returning read more

I came here not knowing what to expect. It is a small place that you have to look for or you will miss it but it's definitely worth a visit. I had Crab Rangoons and Pad Thai. Both were very good the Crab Ragoons had big chunks of crab and the sauce was delicious, this was the highlight of my meal for sure. The Pad Thai was good, it did not stand out from other Pad Thais I have had other places but it was still tastey. Unlike some other Thai restaurants we did not get the option of choosing our spice level. In talking to another patron he told us this is also BYOB so that is a park of you want to have a cocktail with your meal. Service was good, it's a little small inside but not cramped. Definitely give it a try. read more

First time here, the parking was a little challenging at lunch time but we got in. The food was very good, I got chicken Panang curry which I enjoyed. The service was good and food came out fairly quickly. It's a bit loud in the seating area, not much sound barrier so conversation was a little hard because there was a very loud group a couple of tables away - nothing the servers could control but just though I'd mention. Recommend read more

From the looks of it, Thai Dee is my kind of place. It's somewhat small, unassuming, and has a divey yet kichy feel to it. Located on a quiet yet mildly dodgy stretch of town, it is one of the city's most popular Thai establishments. After a recent take out session, I can see why. Unlike the rest of Texas, they're still operating in pandemic mode. Take out is the only option as is credit cards since they're not accepting cash. There is obviously no indoor dining or delivery. All of the super friendly staff is masked up and there is sanitizer all over their dining area. I appreciate their cautious approach. Respect. I managed to try their tofu pad see yu, chicken tom yum soup, their infamous curry wings, beef pad thai, and chicken massaman curry. The prices were in the $10-13 range for entrees and I was pretty impressed with the portion. They did a good job of packing up the food and wrapped up the soups in plastic wrap. There's nothing more I hate than food spillage on the way home. From what I tasted, I've had better pad see yu and pad thai. Perhaps I should've upped the spice factor, but the noodle dishes seemed somewhat bland. I should also point out that the broccoli and bean sprouts were a bit on the excessive side. I'd probably tell them to go easy on both next time. I was somewhat impressed with the curry wings -- the meat was tender and the curry was very pungent. The latter would also apply to the tom yum, which was full of flavor and not too heavy with the mushroom. I wish I ordered some thai iced tea and their moo ping skewers as I was told this was something they do well. The most impressive item in the bunch was the massaman. The curry had a semi-thick gravy'ish component to it, a far cry from the watery versions I've had far too often. The chicken was very abundant, making me wish I had more rice to soak everything up. While they didn't have any potato in it, I was surprised to find avocado chunks instead. I'm not opposed to it, but it was quite different from what I was used to. I'd get his dish again and again. And speaking again, I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Perhaps by then, I'll be able to have the pleasure of dining in. read more

We were greeted warmly by the staff and seated quickly. The staff were friendly and welcoming. It seemed like they had a lot of regulars there and I knew that was a good sign. We started dinner with the chicken satay and it was juicy and tender. The peanut sauce and tangy cucumbers complimented the satay very well. For our entrees, we got the chicken kao soi and the shrimp pad Thai. The kao soi tasted like the ones I had in Thailand. It was very creamy and authentic. The pad Thai was amazing and it took me back to my childhood in Thailand. The mango sticky rice tasted like my Thai grandma made it. So good! read more

This is probably the most authentic Thai spot in San Antonio. Myself and my husband stopped by for a late lunch on Saturday because we saw khao soi on their menu. This northern Thai dish is amazing but is pretty hard to find on menus in the states. Don't let the exterior of this place deter you (its a bit rough), the inside isn't bad at all. We ordered the grilled chicken skewers and egg rolls for apps. The grilled chicken was perfect and had an amazing lemongrass dipping sauce. The egg rolls were nice and crispy. For entrees we both ordered the khao soi of course. Overall it was delicious and we really enjoyed it however, the noodles were too thin for khao soi and I wish it was spicier. Overall we really enjoyed ourselves though! read more
