Thai Dee never disappoints! This was our second time here, and it was just as amazing as the first. The food is consistently delicious, the service is friendly and attentive, and I absolutely love the authentic decor and atmosphere. The Thai tea was a total surprise--it was honestly one of the best things I've tasted in San Antonio! My personal favorite is the pot stickers, and the chicken satay was incredibly flavorful. I also ordered the lemongrass chicken again because I loved it so much the first time. My boyfriend got the Pad Thai, and after trying it, I know that's what I'm ordering on our next visit! Highly recommend Thai Dee if you're looking for authentic Thai food with great flavors and excellent service. We'll definitely be back! read more

Do not let the location fool you, this place is a gem. The service is very friendly and prompt and the ambiance is clean, welcoming, and a great spot for lunch. The food was all delicious. I had the angry ocean in level 6 spice and I loved it. My wife had the drunken noodles and it was a large portion that she let me finish, and it was great also! read more

Thai Dee - Angry Ocean - Thai Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Thai Dee is the pure definition of hidden gem in San Antonio! I have been to this restaurant so many times in the past until recently I heard that they changed ownership. I went to check it out and happy to report it is still as good as it was! I think the chef bought it and still the chef at the restaurant We ordered many dishes to try. My absolute favorite is always the ribs! They are so delicious with the sticky rice read more

Awesome hole in the wall. I've been coming here for years. Nice clean seated quickly. Food made to order came out at different times but as always served nice and hot. Potstickers crispy and delicious. Rice of course enough for two meals. Less than 49 dollars for two meals appetizers and one drink. Staff packed up leftovers and bagged them for us. read more

Do not order the curry at Thai Dee--and watch out for their rigid billing policies.I visited Thai Dee and ordered the yellow curry, expecting a rich, flavorful dish. Instead, what I received literally tasted like water. There was absolutely no depth or traditional curry flavor--just thin, spicy water. I have eaten plenty of curries all around San Antonio, and this one was by far the absolute worst. When I brought this to the attention of the server, I politely explained that the dish was too poorly flavored and unpalatable to consume. Rather than removing the untouched bowl from the table, they simply asked if I wanted to order a replacement item. When the bill arrived, I was shocked to find I was charged full price for the meal. The server flatly refused to remove the charge, citing a "food policy" because the dish had been prepared according to standard specifications. Frankly, it is completely unacceptable for an establishment to deny a bill adjustment when a dish is fundamentally flawed. This was not a minor issue of personal preference; the execution of the dish was simply inadequate. Furthermore, when a kitchen serves a curry that lacks any substantive body or flavor, it entirely erodes culinary trust. There was no reason to believe a replacement dish would be prepared any better. Leaving a failed dish on the table and forcing a customer to pay for it reflects incredibly poor hospitality. If you choose to dine here, be aware that if your food is improperly prepared, you will still be held financially responsible. read more

We enjoyed the food we ordered. We had several appetizers- Rangoon, dumplings, shrimp rolls, chicken satay and cucumber salad as well as an order of the fried ribs (as an appetizer). They all came out great and timely so we had a chance to sample before the next one came out. For our entrees we had the tiger cry, angry ocean and ginger fish. Everything was very tasty. The only thing is ventilation is needed when ordering the angry ocean. We had it at 5 spicy so the smoke from the hot plate filled the air with spices. New owners are keeping up the tradition of good food. read more

Had not been since right before COVID! Was pleased to see that they ~STILL GOT IT!!! Fantastic food, equally fantastic service & the entrees are plentiful! From the Chicken Satay & Crab meat Rangoons, to the Basil noodles with chicken, Pad Woodsen with Beef, Combination fried rice, & Panang noodle with crispy noodles! All Thai food at its Utmost Fresh & D-Freakn'licious!!! 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

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

Fantastic food and service. We will return soon. Some of the best Thai in San Antonio.

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

Hole in the wall. You know how it goes. Those are usually IT. Ok. The vibe is immaculate. The decor and layout is comfortable and modern. Let me tell you right now I had one of the most flavorful Thai dishes here. I hate that I don't live in San Antonio to eat this on the regular but trust, I will be back. Juicy strips of meat, generous servings, hot and so fresh, perfect. 10/10 5 stars. A MUST MUST TRY. WOAH 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

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

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'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

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

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

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

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

Thai Dee - Basil Noodles, Pepper Steak Beef, Three Flavored Fish - Thai Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

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

Love this place BYOB and the food is so good and a lot of it! This is a hole in the wall but so good!!

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.
