    Date night with sissy
    Charisse T.

    Had dinner with my sister and this was our restaurant of choice and they didn't disappoint. We had crab fried rice and mini egg rolls. The wait was long but well worth the wait.

    In a market full of food options, Thai Kun is definitely a go-to spot when the Thai cravings hit. I stopped by not expecting much--and I was honestly stunned by how good the chicken wings were. I'm a big chicken wing person, and these were packed with flavor, especially with the tamarind sauce--sweet, tangy, and addictive. The beef panang curry was also solid--rich, comforting, and flavorful. The only thing that didn't really stand out was the fried rice--not bad, just a bit standard compared to everything else. Overall, if you're in the area and want something bold and satisfying, the wings and curry are definitely worth a stop.

    Pad Thai with shrimp and Wontons
    Cheryl G.

    We took our friend from Brazil to check out The Post HTX . I perused all the food choices and as always Yelp came through with other Yelpers and their foodie pictures. Presentation and quality was everything! Our friend had never had Thai food before so this was a win for all of us. My husband and I were so impressed with how good it was! I have to say that this was the best Thai food I've had in HTX! Yes, better than Thai Spice, Nara Thai, Bangkok Social etc. We don't like the sweet, too saucy Pad Thai so the Pad Thai we had was amazingly perfect. I was expecting mall food court quality but not at all! I got the shrimp Pad Thai and it had jumbo shrimp and a slight shrimp paste flavor to it, which I've never tasted anywhere else. Maybe that's what made it a 10/10! All I know was that the noodles were not overcooked or soggy from the sauce. It was the perfect balance of taste and quality. The shrimps were huge and sautéed just enough where they weren't overcooked. I liked that they put the peanuts and chili flakes on the side too. We also ordered the pork egg rolls and fried wontons. The appetizers were good but not something we'd consider ordering again. I got the combo that included wontons and a drink. The protein were only 2 choices either shrimp or chicken. I was satisfied with the size and amount of the shrimp! We will definitely be back! I just wished there was one near our home!

    This place was amazing...located inside Post Market...Thai Kun caught my eye...the menu was simple...and the display items looked very tempting...I ended up ordering some crab fried rice...and some wings...the young lady took my phone number and they texted me when my meal was ready...the food was so fresh and delicious...after eating everything I went upstairs and enjoyed the view...this place had a nice vibe and I'm sure I'll be back real soon

    Crab fried rice
    Char I.

    Let's start with service, where is it? Yes I get it is a food hall that doesnt preclude one from providing a service in which one would like to return. The front associate taking our orders appeared to be on the phone both with her ear pod. But she wasn't pleasant or helpful. She definitely gave I don't want to be here.. I ordered the crab fried rice. Um no thank you. It wasn't seasoned very well and too much egg vs actual crab ratio. It came with a side of soy sauce and some pepper sauce that didn't do much. I probably would not visit this place again if I am in the post.

    Pad See Ew Chicken and Chive Cakes
    Suelynn N.

    Thai Kun is inside POST. I wanted some comfort food without dairy. The chives cakes were amazing. The pad see ew was a bit more oily than I would had liked. I would like more vegetables and the noodles were more broken up into pieces rather than long noodles. But this might be personal preference. It did have a more meaty to noodle ratio. Once you order, you give them your number for a text to pick up your food. After you are done, you throw away your trash and put the tray on the closest shelf tower, usually by a trash can. You do have to pay for parking. Right now, it's electronic so the cameras record your car license in and out and that how it determines how long you stayed there for payment.

    Undercooked chicken
    Ricky R.

    Found myself at the Post yesterday and was overwhelmed with all the choices in the food court. Walked by this establishment and looked at their signature dishes they had on display. The TK chicken looked delicious and I decided to give it a shot. Now the first thing that threw me off is the dish is priced at $13, but my order somehow was priced at $19. I later realized that this was due to getting it with fried rice rather than jasmine rice. My gripe with this is that the dish is displayed on their counter with fried rice, and unless I completely missed it on their menu, there is no mention of an up charge for fried rice. But if the food was delicious, I would have been fine. However, my chicken came out undercooked. Pics attached to show just how pink it was left. I bit into a piece and knew something was off. Ended up eating the rice and tossed all of the chicken. Again, I was even willing to let this go...... until I got home and my stomach was in knots from what I can only assume was the undercooked chicken. Made for a miserable night. Lesson learned, just a fair warning to others.

    Pad See Ew Chicken
    Sapna S.

    I am a huge fan of Thai food and was super excited to try the pad see ewe while at POST. Unfortunately, the taste wasn't as good as I had hoped. It was supposed to come with broccoli, but they forgot to add that on there. They were having some issues with their stove and were fixing it when we went so it was about a 30 minute wait, which is understandable. I personally wouldn't eat at this place again and would prefer to try some of the other restaurants there.

    Wasn't much open when I visited the Post during the holidays so I tried this spot out. SMH Crab Fried Rice wasn't crabbin and the Tamarind Chili Wings weren't winggin.

    two bowls of food on a tray
    Rex C.

    Solid four! Food: the food was quite good at least my dish. I had the panang beef and it was very spicy and different. It was more like beef tips if anything. Extremely spicy with lots of flavor. I do wish I would have asked for the egg well done. The pad Thai was alright. The shrimp didn't taste fresh and they also didn't peel the shrimp. For the prices they are charging they definitely need to peel the shrimp. I would try the pad this again with chicken or beef. Not shrimp. The prices are high. The portions are medium to small and don't reflect the price. Maybe the are paying high rent at the post. I would definitely go back and try more food off their menu. We we're definitely satisfied with our meal. Great date night with my baby.

    Pad see ew with chicken
    Lisa N.

    Browsing around POST and was kinda feeling some Thai food. Kinda expensive for what you get. There was a lot of chicken but not a lot of noodles. Too many green vegetables. This pad see ew was not spicy at all. It was mostly sweet. I do like the sweet chili sauce that they give you. It took so long for the food to come out!! Overall not really impressed. Not authentic. (I didn't see any Asians working).

    Authentic taste Thai food in Houston downtown - that's how Will always remember this place. Located inside POST Houston, this is one of those only places that I have tried. But I got to say, even with their limited menu options, they are really making an impact. The small menu helps them keep the speed of preparation. And did I mention they make everything to order? Yes, they prep ahead of time but they start caking your food once you order and pay.

I've only got to-go from here once, and from what I remember, the wait wasn't too bad. The parking is quite difficult since the lot is so small. To share, we got an order of crispy veggie spring rolls and a bowl of tom kha with chicken. Both always hit the spot. Some Thai spots make tom kha too salty but I think this one is seasoned well. We also ordered pad see ew and pad woon sen with tofu. So delicious! The portions are pretty generous, so we had a good amount to take home.

I ordered it with beef, and the beef was very tender and not dry at all. Furthermore, the overall dish has the wok hay flavor and was one of my favorite pad see ews I've ever had. Thai Iced Tea - it was your average thai iced tea where it wasn't mixed at first(which I think is a sign of authenticity!) and sweet at the perfect level with condensed milk. What makes this a four star was that the service was a little iffy in my opinion. Even though we were in a large group which makes it harder for waiters to order, the waiter stared at one of my friends and started mumbling despite him already ordering which made it pretty awkward.

Soft music, white and red walls with Thai decor. Natural lighting during the day with warm interior lighting. It appears that there has been a makeover to the restaurant. I like the new look more. It seems more upscale in appearance. Dress code here is business casual. 4. Food - I've had their YELLOW CURRY WITH CHICKEN AND WHITE RICE. Curry is a bit sweet to my liking, but overall, it was a good meal. Will have to try other dishes next time. Food presentation is nicely plated. Not messy or sloppy. 5. Cleanliness - dining area is clean. The waitstaff keeps this place in tip top shape. The only complaint I have, although not exactly about cleanliness, I would suggest that management take a look at the lock in the men's restroom. Although it was locked, someone was able to enter still. SUMMARY This is a petite Thai cafe. Everything about this place was enjoyable. I would definitely come back to try again and will highly recommend this place.

The Tom Kha had a lighter, more watery base than the rich coconut flavor I'm used to. I know this can vary by region, so it wasn't bad, just not my personal preference...The cream cheese crab wontons were decent and nicely presented. They also served a complimentary appetizer, which was a fun surprise, a taco shaped fried wonton wrapper filled with cabbage and their house dressing...Overall, if you're looking for a quick Thai bite with excellent service, this place works. I'm giving it 3.5 out of 5 not because it's bad, but because the flavors didn't quite match what I personally look for. For what it is, it's solid. -- Pilgrim Sojourner

For drinks, I got the Mekhong Mojito and it was sweet and refreshing! For appetizers, we got the crispy squid and the crispy wonton- crispy squid was good but if you had to choose between the two, get the crispy wonton! As for the entree, I ordered the Khao Soi with shrimp and my friend ordered the spicy red snapper. The curry broth with coconut milk was fragrant and with the toppings that came on the side (i.e. lime, onions/shallots, mustard greens, etc) enhanced the dish. The flat egg noodles were bouncy and the shrimp was solid. If you're stuck between choosing a curry dish and a noodle dish, get the best of both worlds and order the Khao Soi! As for my friend's spicy red snapper, I tried a bite and the spices/texture in the dish complimented the fish very well. For dessert, we ordered the classic Mango Sticky Rice!

They have that street food vibe as a well representation of their name, Rim Tanon, which means roadside. With dedicated parking that fills up quick during peak times, it may be difficult to locate parking as it is shared with a few other restaurants and the spaces are quite tight. We tried their appetizers including Salmon Rolls (flavorfully packed with cream cheese, salmon, and spinach in a crispy shell and loving that actually spicy mayo on the side), Thai Style Jerky (deep fried and sun dried marinated pork and beef served with sticky rice rolls and side spicy tamarind sauce, a bit too dry/chewy), Fried Tofu (perfect little triangles, so good by itself or with the side sweet and sour sauce with crushed peanuts), Chive Pancake (deep fried and chive packed triangles with a slight chew to it, great by itself or with it's spicy soy sauce companion). As for the mains, the Spicy Seafood Fried Rice is a good value as it was loaded with all sort of fruits of the sea (shrimp, squid, and mussel), with prominent lemongrass and kaffir lime aroma, but a bit wet or moist for a fried rice dish, the Crabmeat Omelet is served with a nice portion of lump crabmeat where you can taste the flavor of the seafood and add sriracha to liking, and the Beef Pad See Ew is made appetizing with wok charred flat rice noodles along with a savory blend of soy sauce, Chinese broccoli and egg. The portion size is alright and filling for a moderately hungry individual, though it would've been even better a tad bigger for those coming in hangry. I'll be back for more when I'm craving some modern Thai food and especially want to try their curry dishes. Service was quick and efficient, attentive to refills on drinks and friendly!
