I came here for lunch after seeing so many good reviews on Yelp. Big disappointment. We ordered Pad Thai, some spicy noodles, papaya salad, and iced Thai coffee. Pretty much the worst Thai food I've tried thus far. My Pad Thai didn't taste like Pad Thai; it was... sweet! The Spicy Noodles was also bland and all you could taste was the chili paste... The papaya salad wasn't good either... We always finish our food, but we only ate half of everything today. read more

Five Stars for their pineapple curry! It's basically the only thing I ever order because it's so good. The place seems usually dim and empty when I pick up the food but the staff is always nice and the few things I've tried have been great. read more

Thai Jin - Tofu Pineapple Curry (take-out) - Thai Near Me - Houston, Texas

Located in a shopping strip with an HEB and Starbucks, this place was quite pretty and clean inside. We visited on a Saturday for lunch. There weren't many people inside, but a steady stream of customers came in to dine-in and pick up their to-go orders. The menu was extensive with Thai, Japanese and Chinese entrees. We ended up choosing Chicken Red Curry and Tofu Pad Thai. I had a Thai tea and loved how it came with a dollop of whipped cream. The starter was a Japanese house salad. The Chicken Red Curry was so thick and creamy. It was so good, reminded me of my grandma's version. The Tofu Pad Thai came out with a thin, crepe like layer of egg over the noodles. It was sweet and delicious. Fortune cookies came with the bill. The prices were reasonable. If I lived/worked a little closer, I'd be a regular! read more

Thai Jin is a great place to get your Asian cravings on. The crazy roll and spider roll were both soft and fresh. You only get 6 pieces but I was impressed even the veggies inside were crisp along with the shrimp tempura and crab shell which weren't over breaded. My husband had the pineapple chicken curry which was fine. There wasn't that many ingredients in the curry but it still tasted decent. Service was spot on, not to intrusive or inattentive. Overall, a great place to try especially if you are craving fresh affordable sushi. read more

I took my parents to eat here on a Thursday night. I'm surprised that there being so many houses around there, the place was sort of empty. The presentation of the food is very nice. I had a coconut soup which was wonderful. Everyone finished their dishes, including a papaya salad which my Mom ordered and seemed to enjoy them. We ordered chicken lettuce wraps as an appetizer and they were flavorful and served with a sauce. The prices are very moderate. There was an interesting flyer at the entrance saying that sweet tea is now "available." This is interesting and irrelevant to a Thai restaurant, but oh well! Who doesn't like sweet tea? I can't believe I waited so long to return to Thai Jin. I want to try the sticky mango rice and the Thai iced tea which is wonderful but being that it was at night, I didn't want to be awake for a while. read more

The first time I went, everything tasted great. Today, I took my mother to go here to eat lunch, and it didn't taste as great. I'm not sure if it was just busy, but it didn't taste 100% the same as the first. They have a lunch special here, which comes with a small egg roll, a small soup and salad. read more

We always love ordering Thai Jin! My boyfriend especially enjoyed the red curry tonight. I ordered a delicious Shaggy Dog + miso soup combo. Our takeout order was served so hot so it was the perfect temp when we got home to enjoy it. I've tried several of their sushi rolls and the chicken pad Thai! Would recommend all of it. We truly love this neighborhood staple! read more

Best sushi I've ever tried without a doubt. Everything is so fresh and the rice is delicious. It will certainly not disappoint.

Apparently they don't actually close at 8PM... people are in there eating and I was turned away at 7:40PM because the kitchen was closing. Waste of my time. read more

I took my girlfriend and we loved it! She got the Orange Chicken which looked amazing. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy inside. The sauce, which they make themselves, was just a perfect pair with the chicken. I got the Sichuan Cashew Nut Chicken which was filling and delicious. You have the choice of spicy or not and then the level of spiciness. I got the third level (American Spicy) and I was on fire...but it was a good burn. We also got the White Tuna Sushi and Fried Calamari...both divine. Overall great food with great portion sizes. We both left stuffed. read more

Thai Jin - White tuna sushi. Absoultely decadent. Just melts in your mouth. - Thai Near Me - Houston, Texas

Overall good experience but the food and service most of all leaves much to be desired. I ate with a decent sized party of 8 and everything came out in a timely fashion but like I said, the service leaves a lot to be desired. In the servers defense, if her English had been better, it MIGHT have been a better experience. Food was overall pretty good except I wish my Egg Drop Soup actually tasted like the Egg Drop Soup that I'm used to. read more

Quick neighborhood thai place in the Spring Shadows subdivision. Can't go wrong with any of the traditional Thai dishes or their house specialties. They also have a sushi bar that I haven't tried yet if you're in that mood. read more

Great Thai gem in the heart of the Branch. Really enjoyed the flavor along with the blend of spices from several cultures. The Pineapple Curry was perfect in the Superman spice level. The Tom Kha soup was a coconutty splendor with just the right amount of kick. Happy to have a local Thai spot, keep up the great work Thai Jin! read more

The service is great. It's very clean and the food is delicious! A hidden gem. Thai green curry and drunken noodle were really good.

First time trying this place out because the reviews were awesome and they didn't disappoint, food wise. I arrived 9:12 sat myself at the sushi bar . Menu was nice, easy to read and has some example of dishes. The food was delicious and sushi chef was cool. Only gave 3/5 because my waiter gave me a bad vibe. I felt pressured to eat quickly because it was 9:24 and they were cleaning up as I'm halfway through 2 rolls. Definitely did not get a very welcoming vibe, something I wasn't really prepared to deal with. Never had that happen before, at least not the obvious signs of frustration. Overall, I'd probably come here again, but I'll definitely check other places first. read more

I gave it two stars because the food is really good, but the customer service and quality of food went downhill since the restaurant was bought out, been eating there for almost four years and the service just keeps getting worse and worse, and it made me want to put this review. read more

Where should I start. I was informed that this restaurant has a nEw owner and new cook. Food was good but I had an terrible experience with the server. First time ever in my life. He was arrogant when asked for a take out box for my friend and myself saying I am working alone and don't have time for 'stupid request'!!!! I asked another server and he bought the 2 take out box. When I asked him for an bag the previous server came on and said 'you guys are requesting things just to Harass us'!. I felt this server had some mental issues and I have symphathy for him. However it was the worst experience I ever had in my lifetime. Going back to this place.. maybe yes if I do not see this server again! read more

Our experience in this restaurant was extremely disappointing! We placed a to-go order, like we have many times before, and everything was fine until we got home. When we opened our lettuce for our wraps it was covered in bugs!!!! When we called to let them know they told us to take the food back if we wanted a refund. We didn't mind taking the food back because we weren't going to eat it anyways. Once we took the food back all they did was make excuses and say it's because of the "season" that our food had bugs. The "owner" said "Well, for you it might be weird but Asians do eat bugs"! I understand that it's "normal" for her but I did not ask for bugs in my lettuce! She was fast to give us our money and have us on our way. We will probably never go back as the owner think it's ok to have bugs in their food because "Asians eat bugs"! read more

Nothing worth coming for. Got pad Thai, the egg that came with it tasted rubbery. Got general tsos chicken and it tasted like sweet and sour chicken and had a weird color to it. The people that work here just stand around like they have nothing to do. Also their egg drop soup was a weird brown color and tasted super sour. I had them take that back. I would never come here again. read more

Where do I start? The curry is amazing, the sushi is delectable, the Thai tea is to die for, and the service is top notch. If you're looking for a very nice and relaxed atmosphere with amazing food, you found it. The owner is there everyday, just from that alone you can tell the level of food service and quality! This would have to be my 5th time there. I believe in grabbing a good range of experiences and I cannot find a single negative thing to say. If you're unsure what you want, the staff will give some amazing suggestions. You will not go wrong. read more

I am so sad to write this review because my original review 5 years ago was 5 stars........times change :( Our food was horrible tonight such bad quality. I had the drunken noodle and my wife had pad thai and both were bland and had no flavor---they tasted the same. We also had a five-year-old order too who did not like her dish and she likes Asian food. What was frustrating was they brought my food, so my wife and daughter waited then they brought my wife's food and daughter waited and she was so hungry. I told them that the kid's food always should come out first, so we had bad service and bland food. I also had a spicy tuna roll....do not order sushi here. There was so little tuna in the roll and it was sloppily made. This use to be one of our favorites, but we won't be back. read more

Ordered the Pad Thai shrimp level 2 spice and it came out way more spicer than expected. Also ordered ice cream and sweet rice for dessert, ice cream had a freezer, strange taste. Would not order again. read more

Thai Jin was a wonderful experience. We went on a Sunday night around 6 and it was slow. Waitress was very sweet. I ordered yellow curry with chicken. It came with white rice and a side salad with "ginger something" dressing. Salad was unimpressive, but the curry was very delicious. I prefer Thai Cottage's yellow curry. Thai Iced Tea came in a fancy glass and the waitress automatically provided water with it, which I appreciated. I like that this restaurant serves Chinese, Thai, and Japanese food. The variety allows options for the whole family. From the outside it doesn't look like much, the inside decor makes this a great place for your next date. read more

Great Food!! Great service. The Thai Jin Fried Rice is awesome and Sonia the sushi. Only complaint is the wine is a ridiculous price at $10 glasses. Crazy!! The wines were at best $4/$6 bottles read more

PERFECT SERVICE. Deangleo was amazing! I got the spicy pad Thai and Thai hot red curry. It was delicious. We also had the shaggy dog roll for an appetizer along with edamame and it was rather average. BYOB!!!! Mask required to eat in and hand sanitizer available at the table!! They even sell mask! read more

The Pad Thai was awesome!!! Full of authentic Thai flavor and not drowning with sauce or having an overwhelming spice. IT had just the right kick (hot) without the burn in your mouth but still full of delicious flavor. My husband had the spicy beef basil (medium) and his was just as delicious with a touch of spice. Service was great! We arrived around 7:00pm and found it odd that no one but us was there. Was starting to wonder but we did notice a lot of take out. Shortly after other did arrive but they had more take out than dine in. read more

If you have an appreciation for Japanese, Chinese, or curry infused foods, Thai Jin is an excellent dining establishment to explore. Oh yes, and you must try their curry soup! Pros: Curry soup Lunch specials Great item descriptions on the menus Roll pricing Quiet atmosphere Cons: The waiters could be more attentive read more

I was introduced to Thai Jin by a UYE and the food was so good that I had to go back. I went again this weekend and took a friend with me. I love the environment. The lighting is dim and the decor is Asian themed. The service is excellent and any of the waitstaff can and will help. The food is great! I especially love the sushi. I was surprised that a Philadelphia roll could have as much flavor as the one I tried here, but it can and it was awesome. Thai Jin takes special care to use the best and freshest ingredients, and one bite will prove it. I also tried the Green Curry and the Pineapple Curry. The Green was my favorite and a level 3 - Hot - was perfect for me. If you like your sushi warm, like my friend does, you'll like the Mardigras roll. It has crawfish in it and it is served slightly warm with tempura batter and eel sauce on top. So the conclusion is: service is great, location is great, ambiance is great, food is great, prices are great - Thai Jin is GREEAAATT! read more

This place was just fine. I have no beef with their (garlic) beef. But 60+ reviews and 4.5 stars sets the bar unobtainably high for a place that is otherwise solid. Imagine if someone told you that "50 Shades of Grey" was a world-class novel. That framework is unfair and uncalled for--and it would be much more enjoyable at face value. For reference: Nidda Thai, Houston's best Thai restaurant, is only 4 stars (with 250+ reviews) and Kanomwan is 3.5 (with ~85 reviews). I am always leery of a place that advertises a specialty in 2 or more Asian cuisines. I love that in Bellaire's China Town, you can find Korean BBQ, Viet, and like 12 different regional variations of Chinese. But not under the same roof!* When I saw Thai/Sushi/Chinese all advertised on the sign, I began the expectation tempering. The lunch special is something of a deconstructed Bento box; main dish, small salad that gets half-eaten at most, egg roll & dipping sauce, soup. All-in-all a pretty good deal. You could do MUCH worse out on this area, but perspective is needed. *I understand that Banana Leaf is an exception to this, but Malaysian cuisine is practically "Pan-Asian" anyways. read more

This place is absolutely fabulous. The chicken pad Thai is really authentic and does a good job of balancing the sweet and savory. Their orange chicken is also fabulous. If you are scared of spicy you can always ask for it on the side. However, beware the sushi. I did not like it eventhough I tried it twice. read more

This place is right up my alley. Upon walking in, I was greeted by the owner with a huge smile and shown to a table right away. The interior was very nice and clean. I'm all about that presentation! Anyways, my friend and I opted for two Thai teas...yeah I definitely recommend skipping out on that. I was not a fan. For our appetizer, we got the cheese rolls. It came with a sweet plum sauce. It was pretty good but nothing too special for me. BUT LET ME TELL YOU. We ordered the pineapple fried rice with chicken and the pad thai with tofu. Both dishes were amaze-balls! The sweetness of the pineapple mixed with the savory chicken and cashews mixed in was so divine. The presentation was lovely as well for there was a lotus shaped beet included on the side. The pad thai was also very delicious. The spicy noodles and fried tofu were enveloped in a thin egg omelette shell. It also came with a side of crushed nuts, lemon slices and bean sprouts! The combo was just heavenly. Being two small girls, we couldn't finish everything, so we had to to-go it all. For two Thai teas, one appetizer and two wonderful dishes, it cost us a good $30! I don't think it can get any better than that. I'll definitely be coming back to try their other dishes and especially the dessert! My friend and I were just too full afterwards haha :/ we are weak sauces! Next time, we'll be truly ready for Thai Jin! read more

This place was just...okay. I went with a couple of coworkers. It looks bigger than it does on the outside so there's plenty of seating. Service was efficient so if you stop here during your lunch break then you'll get back to work in time. I had the red curry which I thought was decent but could use a little more flavor. It was bad but it wasn't good. I also ordered a Philadelphia hand roll. I was actually shocked that the sushi was decent for the area. The hand roll was $3 and the portions were generous. My coworkers got several pieces of sashimi and they were big especially for the price. I would stop by if you live nearby or happen to be in the area but don't go out of your way to come here. read more

Praise Jebus! A few years ago my neighborhood favorite Thai Racha on Longpoint closed down, and my search for a nearby standby may have been found. Thanks to the reviews of fellow yelper's I now know that a once defunct Chinese buffet has been transformed into a great looking establishment, (well what I could see anyways from picking up my to-go order). I called and ordered chicken pad thai, not bad, heavy on the noodles and not enough chicken, but huge amounts of egg, bonus or drawback depending on your taste, interesting way the presented the egg that's for sure. I also ordered red curry chicken as spicy as they could make it, hot but I sure could go hotter, I added Siracha to get it to my pallet level. The curry had green beans which were very fresh, and bamboo & red peppers. Cannot wait to try out more dishes, hope they can go the distance =D read more

The customer service was TERRIBLE. our group arrived at 1145 am, ordered at noon and still hadn't gotten our food by 1245 pm. We asked for our food to be boxed up and asked to speak to a manager at 1245 pm. The server immediately went to the manager to let him know, he looked at our table and nodded. We then watched the manager go to the kitchen to get a to go order and go back to check people out. Our food finally arrives at 1 pm and we go to the check out counter because that's where the manager is. He sees us behind the person he's currently checking out and flags over our waiter to check us out. He then WALKS AWAY FROM THE COUNTER! Our friend had to flag him down before he was gone and we spoke to him about what had happened. He told us it was OUR fault it took so long because we "were waiting for a friend". He wouldn't even listen when we told him we placed our order and told the waiter the last person cancelled at noon. He kept insisting it was our fault and next time we're in a hurry we should call in a to go order. TLDR: terrible customer service, food is average and the manager is rude. Go anywhere but here. read more

I almost feel bad because I went here once several months ago (when it was still a buffet), and liked it. Then my second child was born, so I cut back on eating out to see how another mouth to feed would impact my budget. By the time I went back, which was about a month ago, I brought a friend from work there expecting the same good, small buffet setup. Nope, they went to a menu system, which isn't terrible and actually has some benefits. * I knew I wouldn't stuff myself silly * The food should be fresh, in theory * More options Ultimately, we sat down and each ordered a lunch plate. I forgot what my friend got, but he said it sucked. I went with the suggestions from fellow yelpers and got the pad thai. It was okay. We both liked their Yellow Curry soup. We both admitted the egg rolls sucked. What's worse is we both had an upset stomach. I think I was bedridden for a day or two, I didn't really press my friend to see how bad his condition was. I deal with enough poop having a 2yr old and an infant. No need to hear stories about it from grown men. read more

loved the food we ordered from here! We got egg rolls, Chicken Pad Thai,, Red Curry with Chicken, and Orange Chicken. All were excellent and will be returning again soon! read more
