I was at the Starbucks close by and saw a review that this was a hidden gem so I decided to give it a try. I chose the crunch munch which is spicy shredded crab stick, asparagus, topped with sweet shrimp, crunch, spicy mayo and eel sauce. I don't normally go for sweet things in my meal but fortunately it wasn't overpowering. The roll was fresh and quite tasty. The spicy crab had a slow heat that I didn't notice until a few bites in. I used a little more soy sauce than I normally do (a couple seconds dip on the bottom third) and it was a perfect compliment. The server was super sweet and had my roll out within a few minutes of ordering. The restaurant was clean and the vibe was pretty chill for lunch hour. Definitely worth the praise on the review I saw! read more

Not sure why this place is not packed. It's really good it's fresh and it's delicious. I had the yellow curry chicken and shrimp and it had big shrimp so I'm happy with that. I will be back for sure read more

Food was some of the best I've had! Papaya salad, pad Thai and green curry was phenomenal. Can't wait to go back!

Great food, quick service, good people. This is one of the better yellow curry options in the area

Place is ok, price a little bit high for what it is but ambience and food are good, and service is also good. Would give 5 stars but it's a bit pricey read more

This was such a great quick lunch spot. The service was remarkable. Everyone was extremely friendly. Had a hot & sour soup which was delicious and the garlic on fire dish, medium heat, with beef...very good. I love a great sauce and this was it!! I'll be back very soon. read more

First off, it is very big inside. I came two days in a row and nothing disappointed. The Tum Yum soup was absolutely perfect, the pad see eww was delicious, the Fried Tempura was cooked to perfection, the yellow curry was to die for. The server was so attentive and very transparent. I have my new Thai spot!!! Not to mention the reasonable prices! read more

I always order this place to go. The food has always been good! Very big portions too at least two servings. The food is always ready on time when I go to pick it up. They use a lot of veggies! read more

This gem of a restaurant is located in the strip mall with the HEB on Gessner. My husband and I get take out from there about once a week. The food is always freshly cooked and delicious. The service is friendly and efficient. My husband is greeted by name when he steps through the door. read more

Had this place recommended to me and was excited to try it out! The restaurant itself was very quiet and peaceful. I'd gone on Friday afternoon and it was just my group there. The waitress was very attentive and made sure to check on us a good amount. Grabbed the yellow curry with chicken and it was SOOO YUMMY! The portion was very large! I ate half of it and took the rest home. I ordered the spicy 3/6 and it felt perfect. read more

Thai Jin - Thai Near Me - Houston, Texas

Ordered through Uber eats. Highly motivated to order because of buy one, get one deals on entrees, sushi, and soups....so we ordered 2 of each! The general tso chicken was served with sauce on the side, so chicken was extra crispy. Sushi had generous servings, believed we ordered the 911 and California roll. I had to call the restaurant to make an order correction and the staff member who answered was very friendly and helpful. Can't wait to try this place in person! read more

OK I ordered General Tso chicken... What I got I have no idea what this is. I got chicken nuggets, fried chicken nuggets with carrots and broccoli as a side and a sauce that had peanuts in it which makes no sense because General Tso chicken doesn't have peanuts! It's so disgusting I can't even eat it. I've had to throw away both orders if you buy one and get one for it now I know why. read more

They close their restaurant to diners at 7:15 pm. Anyone who wishes to dine in after that time is out of luck. I arrived at 7:18 PM and they would not admit me! The gentleman was polite but he told me I would have to order out. That's not convenient for me right now so I just turned around and walked out. Not only did they lose my business tonight, but I have no intention of going back just for that reason. How can they stay in business this way? read more

Very quiet place on a Friday night with lots of take out. The food was really great and they have a wide assortment. We ordered Orange chicken(homemade sauce was insane), pineapple curry, a couple of sushi rolls, egg drop soup, and cheese rolls. D'Angelo was helped and very friendly. read more

I called to try to place an order for 15 people for the next day, and they told me I couldn't--that I had to wait until the following day to call. I explained that I just wanted to know if they could accommodate my request and get the prices so I could decide whether or not to place the order. The person I spoke with was extremely rude and wouldn't let me talk or ask any questions because she was clearly trying to hang up. She gave me the prices with zero interest and was absolutely no help. I had questions about whether the amount I was ordering was appropriate or not. I ended up hanging up and would rather order from another restaurant. read more

This is a very quiet place to dine. If you want spicy Thai food try 6/6, it has a wonderful flavor. The service that I have received has always been excellent. read more

Thai Jin - Red Dragon Roll - Thai Near Me - Houston, Texas

First time ordering Thai food from this as its very close to our house for take out. We ordered the Cheese Roll, Beef Drunken Noodle, Chicken Pad Thai, Chicken Thai Jin friend rice and sesame chicken. Overall we liked the Chicken Pad Thai, which was sweet and savory and saucy like it should be very delish! Beef Drunken Noodle taste was good but it was more on the dry side, I have had better drunken noodles, thai Jin fried rice was good, which contained more mixed vegetables than the usual fried rice. The Sesame chicken was underwhelming, I was not a fan, the sauce came separate, it tasted more like soy sauce, salty and it's not the usual glazed chicken with sweet sauce and sprinkled sesame seeds that you normally get at other Asian joints. So would not recommend getting their sesame chicken. I had to end it with Thai Tea, and that was refreshing as ever!! read more

I had the panang curry and thom yum soup. My husband had the spicy salmon roll and drunken noodles. We both shared the egg custard with sweet sticky rice for dessert. All the food was delicious and the servings were surprisingly large so we were able to share. I definitely will be returning or ordering takeout from here. read more

We came across this place on yelp, while searching for Thai restaurants in that area. In my opinion, all the Thai restaurants taste the same, although people have tried to convince me into believing that Thai Gourmet is the best. My search is still on. Thai Jin was a good choice with good taste tasting food, but again its not something that stands out. After being seated and drink orders taken, we ordered from the lunch special. I normally get the pad kee mao with beef, but this time around went with spicy basil beef, that came with a small cup of soup, small mini salad and a spring roll. My friend went with a ginger chicken, which also came with the same side items. My beef dish was good, sautéed with onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, baby corn and garnished with crushed peppers. I went with level 4 spicy. The ginger chicken was pretty good also. Came with a nice amount of veggies with protein and nice ginger kick to it. Service was up to par. We got our refills on time and waiters kept checking on us to ensure everything was good. If I happen to be in the gessner/long point area, I will stop by here again. read more

Restaurant ambiance seems ok upon entry, service is average. You better love sugar because they put it in everything! (Including the soy sauce) Fried Rice would have been ok except they added sugar. Sushi rolls are way to sweet. They even added sugar to the Sriracha sauce for crying out load. Egg drop soup smells like dirty dish water. H‑E‑B has much better sushi rolls next door. Skip this place if it's not already out of business. read more

We ordered and paid for our food through yelp, so that it would be ready when we arrived. We got the pad Thai with tofu (upcharge for tofu is kind of odd, but oh well) and the chicken with broccoli. When we arrived, our food was ready to go and packaged up, and the gentleman who handed off our food was friendly. When we got back, we were not disappointed with our choices. We were slightly surprised when we opened the pad Thai, and there was a thin layer of an omelette type thing covering the noodles. It tasted fine, but we have never had pad Thai served in that way. We asked for the tofu to be cooked crispy in the order notes, and fortunately, they complied. The food had a good amount of spice, and lots of texture due to fresh bean sprouts, peanuts, and crispy tofu. The chicken and broccoli was served in a bowl and was accompanied by carrots cut into discs and by a thin, light sauce. I was hoping for chicken that was not battered or fried, and I got just that. The steamed white rice was served in a separate container. Overall, I really enjoyed the dish and would order it again. read more

It was ok. If you like American Asian food. The rice was hard and not traditional Asian food. They didn't add enough water to make it soft. The green curry lacked in flavor. The green beans, green bell pepper, bamboo, and eggplant was very undercooked. Not traditional or authentic. My friend had the red curry and same issue. Green beans were hard and undercooked. Both curry missing a lot of flavor and no coconut taste. read more

Tried takeout from this place for the first time and we were not disappointed. I ordered the pineapple curry with chicken - medium spicy and my boyfriend ordered the pad Thai with beef - medium. I honestly don't think I could handle any hotter than medium! Everything was del ious. Excited to come back to try more dishes and their sushi! Came on a Saturday around 6:00 and there were only a couple tables. The phones were ringing non stop so I think most of their business lately is takeout. Which actually makes me feel comfortable coming in to eat! read more

One word, delicious. Ordered take out for the family. Ordered pad Thai, beef and broccoli, and veggie egg rolls. All three were great! My favorite was the pad Thai, WOW, was not expecting it to be that good. Upon arrival, the food temperature was spot on. Will definitely eat here again, actually maybe again tomorrow. read more

Carlos is a great host and the sushi bar is quite nice. This place was small, quite, well decorated and had pleasant staff. The place/bathrooms were clean and the food was amazing. I had two vegetarian rolls and miso soup while here and took veg fried rice and a roll home for dinner. Super cheap. DELICIOUS. FAST. 10/10 would eat here happily. read more

I was visiting Houston for a work-related function and stopped at Thai Jin for dinner. I arrived around 6:00pm and was the only person dining in the restaurant. There were a few folks that had takeout orders but it seemed odd there weren't more people considering the good Yelp reviews. I ordered the chicken pad thai with medium heat. Before the pad thai arrived, the waitress served me a small salad which had a nice dressing on it. When my entree arrived, I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of heat the "medium" was. It made my nose run but the heat was not overpowering...just the way I like my Thai food! Overall the dish was pretty good, but not the best. The pad thai was more bland than flavorful. The staff was friendly and quick. I'd likely dine here again if I return to the area for work. read more

This place is a complete sh*t show. Service was abysmal at best. Took about 10 minutes just to get our drinks. The food was subpar and as I'm currently sitting in the restaurant I'm not sure if it will make me sick....yet. We had to get up to get our own plates for sushi that we ordered and we ultimately ended up waiting longer than we actually spent eating. While we were eating the young lady that was behind the sushi bar came out and started loudly fighting with the servers. Bottom line, would we come back? Absolutely not, and I would recommend you don't. Oh, also there is no liquor/wine being served to make this place even remotely acceptable. They got one star for the hand sanitiser at the table. read more

Came here because the reviews and the food looked awesome. Wednesday 5 of us. Bright no ambience and 99.1 playing on the speakers. .. The whole time I only saw 1 guy and he was completely overwhelmed with take out and the 10 people that were there.. our five top a 3 top and 2 guys sitting at a table each. Service was terrible. This to me was not authentic.. curry was blah at best thai lanna is 100 percent better. What happens when you try to do Japanese Chinese and Thai food at once. When I asked the guy is the curries come with Jasmine rice he looked at me funny he had no idea what I had just asked Curry was salty and just not good. It tastes like it had peanut sauce in it. Wth??!! The 9 dollar calamari starter was small but was good only came with the rounds. Husband ordered general tso chicken I'm gonna let the picture speak for itself they put peanuts in it and tasted like sweet and sour chicken. Just weird. My son's drunken noodles were so gummy and my other son's dish was all vegetables barely any meat. The whole meal was a disappointment read more

When I first learned about Thai Jin, I was a little skeptical. Great Asian food located outside of Chinatown? After a couple of visits, I have gotten to know the amazing food and the friendly staff. The menu items have icons to indicate the region. After spoken to the owner, the Chinese food is more like taste accustomed to Chinese in Thailand. There are degrees of spiciness. I want to taste my food, not pungently spicy. Thai Jin hit the target just right. The mild has a hint of heat and it doesn't over power the dish. I don't want to this review to be lengthy. I will use words to describe how I feel about the dish I tried. I will focus on the noodles and curries. Overall, I love the decor. I love the location (convenient lunch spot from work). I love the taste. I love the staff. I am speechless on every visit. read more

I came across this place on Yelp, when looking for what to eat today at lunch. I liked this place because 1. it's Thai 2. they offer delivery & take out options 3. its located on Gessner, pretty close to me. I ordered online for a future pick up time and it was ready by the time I got there. It's located in a nice shopping center with an HEB to the right of it and a Starbucks to the left of it. Spacious parking lot and the interior is very cozy and nicely decorated. I ordered the Pad Thai lunch special and it was pretty good! Their lunch specials include a cup of soup, container of salad and an egg roll. The egg roll is small, and comes with a little cup of sauce. Perfect lunch portion. read more

As I've been eating COVID-19 style, I've really struggled to find a place with food good enough via takeout or delivery to really give me that WOW factor. You know, that feeling of smug satisfaction when you take your first bite and everyone goes 'WOW this place is good! Who suggested we come here?' And you silently think 'thanks, Yelp!' I've been missing that in my life but Thai Jin brought it back tonight. Ordered and delivered via DoorDash, but man everything was perfection. -food was made and delivered FAST. Like within 30 minutes of placing my order fast. It was piping hot when it was delivered. -presentation was beautiful. Artfully placed colorful veggies in every dish made it food that much more visually appealing. - quantity of food was fantastic. Lots of meat and veggies in the food, not all rice or noodles like some places. -flavor was excellent. Spicy but flavorful and not drowning in salt. We enjoyed everything we ordered, but the house fried rice really took the cake. I've always thought of fried rice as an 'ok' dish, but this stuff was magical. Do yourself a favor and order it! read more

We live so close to Thai Jin and thought we should give it a go. Called and placed an order for pickup...so exciting....NOT! 2 meals later and it's just ok. So disappointing...1) Pineapple fried rice tasted like curry. I've never experienced the curry taste at other establishments 2) sweet Soy sauce noodle was super duper bland. The portions were generous and the staff were friendly enough. They did get the spicy level right, but not deserving of a 4 star rating. read more

Very late to this dance! But just had delicious lunch @ THAI JIN (by Starbucks@ Kempwood/Gessner). I'm SUPER picky about Asian food & I could never see inside Restaurant front or read a blurry Menu on-line.... I only judged from outside shopping HEB center. Boy, my loss! SO NICE inside, kind of like an extra cute/homey Pei Wei. Menu is extensive, its Thai, Japanese & Chinese. I got Chicken Lettuce Wraps. *Reasonably priced, Great Service & YUM*! Open 7 days. Will be back soon!!!! read more

This is a neighborhood place that we frequent. Hard to pass up a spot with sushi and Thai food all in one. The menu is large and has options that will peak your interest. Servers are few and far between and most of the time the owner will wait on you among the other 1-2 seated tables as the only server. The booth seats have not been recovered in years and kids end up complaining that their legs are getting scratched up by the broken/cracked fleather. The quality of the food has diminished drastically and continues to do so as time progresses. Sad to see a place with such potential and great location slowly dissolve. Hopefully they can bounce back and focus on quality food with quality ingredients (especially for sushi) for their local customers. read more

The red curry was good, but nothing to obsess over. It wasn't rich and creamy like how it should be. I ordered the beef Pad See Ew (which means Stir Fried Soy Sauce noodles) tasted decent, yet again, nothing to get all giddy about. The beef was tasteless, bland, and inelegant. The flat noodles were stuck together in large bundles. The restaurant has a quiet, ambient setting for an intimate dinner date, but too bad the food won't compliment the setting much. Maybe I will give this place a second chance in the future. read more
