I'm kind of a connoisseur of Pad Thai, and I definitely was not disappointed by any means. The flavor was absolutely there, and the tofu was fried to perfection! I will highly recommend the pad Thai dish to those who dislike fish with every fiber of their being because there is an option for the dish to be made without fish sauce. The vegetable egg rolls were a great addition as well. With everything have being said, I'm going to give a rating of 4.5/5 because I ordered "Thai hot" and was not impressed by any means in regards to the spice level. If you've ever ordered Thai hot in Houston, TX or Los Angeles, CA then set your expectations very low for the level of spice offered. read more

I'm sorry that I must update my review. Sadly, we had to stop going there because they had leaks pouring into buckets, in about three places... Those leaks turned into mold. Being extremely allergic to mold, I can't go back. The food also had started to slip. Very unfortunate..... Restrooms not very clean, and terrible reviews from the San Antonio Express News, several months out of the year. read more

This is my first time having Thai food in San Antonio, so I don't have a good baseline to judge. However, I was really impressed by Thai Dee. It is a bit out of the way and in a pretty random location next to a middle school. But when you walk in, you can tell that the food is going to be fairly authentic because all of the staff seem to be Thai, and the decorations are something right out of Thailand. I went with a few friends on a Friday night; we didn't have to wait, but the place was PACKED. There were so many people fit into this tiny restaurant, and it really gave the whole place a lively and bustling atmosphere. As for the staff, they seem to be a little bit shorthanded because there was a bit of a wait between each activity (drink order, food order, food arrival, checks etc.). However, the staff are really nice and you can tell that they do care. As for the food, we split a chicken satay appetizer, and I ordered a chicken pad thai. It was a lot of food! The chicken satay was pretty good; I loved their peanut sauce, but I felt that the chicken ended up being a bit dry. On the other hand, I really enjoyed their pad thai. The noodles were chewy, and it came with plenty of toppings. My only negative would be that it seems like they make their pad thai very, very, very mild compared to how it actually is in Thailand. read more

We went here for dinner last night. The road getting there was terrible. I was hoping the meal would be worth it. We walked in and the place was filled so we had about a five minute wait that wasn't too bad. We got the shrimp rolls for an appetizer and they were really good. You get six and the breading was great. I really like the sauce that is served on the side. I got a rice noodle dish with shrimp and my date got a salad with beef. I got my plate and she got her side of rice. We had to ask for napkins as there were none on the table. Her plate did not arrive for about 5 more minutes. I asked for chop sticks because the plate came with a spoon. I find eating noodles with a spoon difficult. When her plate arrived it came with a spoon as well. I've never seen a person eat a salad with a spoon so we asked for a fork. My dish was very good I really liked it. Her dish was not only late but the beef was dry. I was going to subtract 3 stars for the main courses not arriving together, the no tableware or napkins, and the dry beef. But when I paid and was asked about the meal I gave my opinion and they took ten percent off. So I am taking 2 stars off. Had it been only my plate and the appetizer I would have gone 5 stars. read more

Thairrific! This place is a win. We ordered Thai coffees and waters. The coffees were made perfectly and taste amazing; not too bitter and not too sweet, it's just right. For our appetizer we had Tom Kha soup and Pork Spring rolls. The Tom Kha was delicious. Hint of lemon grass, great coconut flavor and just the right amount of sweetness to counter the rest of the flavors. Spring rolls were good. They were accompanied by a tamarind sauce sprinkled with peanuts. Different, but good! For our entrees we ordered the Panang Curry (Thai hot) and Pad Thai (medium spicy). Both came out with correct spicy level and tasted great! However, the Pad Thai does not have the original peanutty taste that you would expect. Instead, they use a house sauce that gives the dish a tangy taste. If I could recommend something else, it'd be the Green Curry with beef. Oh my goodness, is that good. No. Not good. Perfect! Dessert was Sticky rice topped with coconut ice cream. Sweet and simple! All in all a 10 out of 10. Thai Dee will never disappoint. Great ambiance, food, and service! read more

Not my most favorite Thai restaurant that I've visited, but it still hit the spot. I had stopped at 3 other restaurants before finding this one and this was the only one open 11am on a Saturday. Pad Thai didn't have as much flavor as I was hoping, a little bland. A little soy sauce added did the trick. Their veggie spring rolls were yummy. A little greasy from the frying, but their sauce to dip them in was fantastic! I'd love a bottle of that stuff!! Atmosphere is nice and the waiter/waitress that I saw were super friendly and didn't let my water get more than half empty. read more

They seem to have trouble handling their To -Go service. I ordered only 2 items ,one being spring rolls. After 20 minutes passed (yeah..20 minutes for 2 items!)

Thai Dee is one of those places you drive past and say, "who would ever want to eat at a place in a run down strip mall in the middle of construction. But this place is packed for lunch every time I go. The inside of the restaurant is much nicer that the exterior. Most importantly the food is one of the best Thai food I've experienced. Anything on the menu. If you want a suggestion, try the egg plant dish or the green bean and steak plate. There may be some addictive additive in the food because it always makes me wanting to come back for more. Brought it down because of bad experience today. Never got served my food in 30 mins. Had to get it To go because the order took too long. I'll have to eat between breaks. read more

INCREDIBLE!!! As always .... Thai Dee never disappoints , the food and the customer service is impeccable. Took my girlfriend here for her first time and she absolutely loved it. They are so vegetarian friendly its insane!! They will literally make any dish veggie friendly for you ( with the exception of a few of course) but overall 10/10 . If you haven't been hear you definitely need to stop in . There's usually always a line but I came on a Wednesday around 6 and had no issue getting a table , you should definitely try the egg rolls & cashew chicken ( I had it with tofu ) but it was so gooooooood. read more

Oh my god. We just tried this for the first time today after being recommended this place by several different people, and no lie it's probably my new favorite restaurant. Upon walking in we were greeted by Nick, and saw a few friends of ours already dining. Lol. We had the Moo Ping which was seriously the best thing ever! It had so much flavor and came with a dipping oil that complemented it very well. We also had the Tom Kha which is a soup that had mushroom and chicken in a delicious and interesting broth. We also has the Thai Dee Light and the Spicy Noodles. Everything was beyond exceptional and authentic. I loved everything about this place! Service was also on point. You felt as if you were visiting their home as close friends. Loved it! read more

Easily one of the best Thai spots in town. The curry is delicious. The menu says they use no MSG either. You can order spicy and the cooks won't try to kill you, but instead complement the dish nicely. The Tom Kha soup is some of the best you'll have. Lunch comes with a soup and at $9 is a great deal. Dinner is a bit more expensive-$13 for a curry-but the portions are massive. The wait staff sets this place apart. Nicky and Atom are smart and attentive, and can guide you to the flavor you are after. read more

Thai Dee - Pork lettuce wrap - Thai Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Reviewing: Dinner What We Ordered: Pad Khee Mao, Nam Tok, Thai Teas (we recommend all!) So I am super picky when it comes to Asian food, especially Thai food since I've had so many bad dishes at many restaurants. I heard many good things about Thai Dee and was so excited to try it, especially upon arriving and finding the restaurant packed on a week night! Not even a weekend night. And Thai Dee meet all of my expectations! First of all the decor is typical of any Thai restaurant with paintings of the country and Buddha statues in different areas. The staff is very friendly and accommodating! FOOD: The PAD KHEE MAO is definitely some of the best I've had in SA. The sauce was a wonderful mix of spicy, soy sauce, fish sauce, and garlic and the meat was very tender and juicy. Also, they didn't skimp on the noodles and meat which is a plus! One of my pet peeves at Asian restaurants is when the dish comes out and it's 3/4 vegetables and 1/4 noodles+meat. The NAM TOK is a beef-based salad that I highly recommend because the taste is incredibly refreshing! You can taste the mint leaves, lime juice, and fish sauce combination. So good! DRINKS: THAI TEAS were on point! The perfect balance of tea to sweetness ratio - approve! DATE IDEA: This place is also BYOB so whether it's a friend date or a real date, it's a cool place to come share some thai food and pop open a bottle of wine! Will definitely be back to do that! read more

Thai Dee - Pad khee mao and nam tuk - Thai Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

A coworker and I were here for lunch. I got the Khee Mao (Spicy Noodles) with beef, and it was a spicy and very flavorful, very delicious dish He got the Chicken Pai Thai, I only had a bite and it is is a bit just too sweat and sour for me. He liked it though. The free soup with lunch is just ok, soy sauce based chicken soup. The service is excellent, their refilled our ice tea and lemonade without us asking for it. The only thing I didn't like is we waited for about 5 mins for the check and eventually we went to the cashier desk to pay for it. Overall, great food, great service, I will be back again. read more

Cons: The location of this restaurant can be a drawback for there is very limited parking and other businesses have towing signs. Now that is out of the way let's talk about the food and service. Thai Dee is a small restaurant that can fill up fast but the food. Our server was very nice and polite. He was attentive and pleasant. The food was so yummy and flavorful. The handmade noodles, to the chicken, the seasoning....YUM. I had the Basil Noodles and loved every bit of it.Thai Dee gives a good portion so you can leftovers. I look forward to returning to Thai Dee. This little gem is a must to try; especially if you like Thai food. read more

Thai Dee has great service and delicious Crab Rangoon's. However, the high marks end there. Their Beef Pad Thai and Chicken Red Curry were blah. I asked for both entree's to be made spicy but they weren't even close to mild. Very underwhelming food. I wouldn't recommend to spicy food lovers. read more

Food is great, however they always take their phone off the hook 30-45 minutes before closing, so I can never order takeout!

Just average Thai food. Got the Kao Soi and it wasn't spicy at all. Lacking in flavor. Big portion size. Restaurant can get pretty busy. Located in a lackluster strip corner next to a convenience store but the interior is decorated nicely. A nice gem in San Antonio but I've had better Thai food. read more

Thai Dee - Thai Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Great food and great customer service. Chicken Pad Thai and crab ragoons are amazing!

There are Thai restaurants, and then there are "almost-Thai" restaurants. Any Thai restaurant that serves cashew chicken, and no tablespoon with your food is "almost-Thai,"...and a lot of Chinese. Another example of this is Tong's on Austin Highway. Most of the customers were using chopsticks! Ask a Thai in Thailand about using chopsticks...what? Having said that, Thai Dee is a funky cozy little restaurant in a shabby strip mall that is chuck full of customers at lunch time. Great atmosphere, but you don't "eat"atmosphere. My green curry needle dish was huge, mostly large fat noodles. It had to be 2000 calories of noodles alone. Both of our dishes were slightly sweet...where did that come from? Not Thailand. Overall, slightly on the expensive side and quite limited menu...but it was busy and cozy. Would I ever go back there again? NO!!! read more

What a pleasant surprise! From the outside, the restaurant is nothing to look at, yet the food inside it yummy! My co-workers love this place and are regulars, so I came with them and gave it a shot. I ordered the garlic chicken, and wow! If you love garlic, there is no lack of it. It was great for me, because I expect lots of garlic in my garlic chicken. Oh, and the sauce at the bottom of my plate was a great "dip" for the two spring rolls. The portions were very generous too! There was more than enough to create two servings off of one plate from the lunch special. By the way, the lunch special came with this beef soup that I'm going to refer as "Thai Beef Caldo." I'm not sure what was in it, yet the beef was very flavorful and the large amount of beef in the soup was surprisingly awesome for an appetizer. Parking might be an issue since the parking lot is small, yet by mid-lunch, there were only two only tables in this place on Black Friday. The customer service might be lacking (deducted a star), yet the food more than makes up for it. read more

This WAS my favorite Thai joint in San Antonio until I took my family on Aug 30th 2012. The place was slammed and we were happy to be there, but the food was mediocrely seasoned and the cashew chicken needed to be cooked more. Our experience worsened, when we got the Thai Delight and instead of LO Mein noodles, it was served w spaghetti. We weren't given any napkins nor refills of water or tea. My wife got terribly sick afterwards and was in bed all day, tired from throwing up. I really hope this place gets back on track. I've been a loyal patron of this place for over 10 years and I don't want to Thai till this place gets right. read more

I think they have a new water filter - water is delicious. Prompt courteous service.. There is a screaming kid but whatevs... Parent is putting rice where the noise was coming from. The wait for the main entree - green curry noodle- was just a bit longer than normal but the dish was very aesthetically pleasing upon arrival. I am a water buffalo of sorts and I had to prompt the help for a refill. It is lunch rush hour but still a spicy meal needs an adequate beverage. The entree was a perfect balance of quantity and quality... With quality taking a back seat to no-one. The only issue was my cousins Thai coffee - it was a bit thick in consistency... She had to add water. All in all a good eat. read more
