    Khan so I was one of the best dishes we had. Packed with flavor.
    Tommy C.

    The food pretty much what you get from a lot of more catering Thai restaurants service is very nice though sometimes a tad inattentive. The dishes we did try that were different from other Thai places were the pork dumplings and the khan so I. Those were so good. Prices aren't half bad at all. Would definitely go back.

    First visit to Thai Opal
    Vince C.

    Everything was great - we had the Tom Yum Shrimp, beef pad Thai and the sweet and sour shrimp which came with a serving of rice and we ordered an extra brown rice. They didn't have pork nor fish for selection though and not sure if they ever offered them; hence the 4 rating. Nevertheless our dishes were delicious. We also had the sticky rice with mango and fried banana with vanilla ice cream for dessert and were also very nice. Service was great as our waitress came up a couple times to ask if we enjoyed the food. She was even kind to take a couple pictures. We also liked the ambiance as the Thai decor made the whole place authentic and appealing. They did have a couple of tables outside but too hot and humid to be outside. No issues with parking as this was located in a shopping center. We would visit this place again if we have another visit to Dallas.

    Incredible experience. Attentive staff. Welcoming owner, amazing server & delicious food. The ambiance is beautiful. The food was well presented with no long wait. Great for a date or casual night out.

    It is ok... was expecting more as i have been here many years ago. Prices for the portions and taste. I assume they change cooks?

    Fried Spring Rolls
    Laura C.

    Our hostess this Saturday, midday, was very busy and alone out front - busing and cleaning, seating customers, taking orders and bringing out food, answering the phone and was visibly stressed. We took a look at our menus and had questions; but she was speedwalking through the place. Sometimes I can be a little shy about tackling waitstaff. Let's start with accepting that restaurant prices are higher because they need to be. I understand. Food is higher and restaurant employees need to be paid more. Why was it just her there? I didn't ask. Just accepted it. Although I'm okay with higher prices; restaurants need to make their updated menus legible and I had a legibility problem here at Thai Opal where they obviously kept trying to write over white out. Unfortunately, I just guessed at the price. When she did approach us to order, we started with what we could definitely read and then she turned and was walking away as I was trying to finish ordering. She was still talking to us as she was putting the menus away. In the end, I wasn't surprised when the spring rolls came and contained none of the chicken I had ordered. It was mostly wrapper and a few brown vegetables. I WAS surprised when they turned out to be $5.99. I didn't get that from the menu scribble at all and they certainly are not worth it. Tasteless fried sticks. Ironically, the dipping sauce was delicious. Thai Opal charges $1.50 for anything other than tofu and vegetables with their rice, curry and noodle dishes. I didn't find that to be very clear in the menu; but we asked. My spouse ordered a red curry with chicken. Heat level #3. Their menu didn't have Pad Kee Mao and I was craving rice noodles, so I ordered the Spicy Basil Noodles; a very similarly described dish. Heat level #3. He was happy with the flavor and heat of his curry, if not the portion size. My dish had pretty good flavor but absolutely no heat. A "spicy" noodle dish with no heat. I had a little to eat and stopped. Although she did stop back by to ask how everything was, I said nothing. I have to be honest about that. All I had wanted was to please my husband. If he was happy, I wasn't going to make waves. $40 plus tip later, we're out the door. I took my dish home and added pepper flakes and ate it watching TV. Thai Opal is a lovely restaurant with numerous good reviews. It just wasn't a good day for me, for sure, and I probably won't be back there for awhile.

    Crab Rangoon- burnt and tasted like cooked in old grease

    This restaurant was rated almost 5 stars. My experience was not close to that. The taste of the crab Rangoon was dry & stale and tasted like they were rewarmed or flash fried on old grease. The Combination Thai basil fried rice (chicken, beef, shrimp) was fair in flavor but also had a greasy taste to it. The shrimp was also mealy and mushy tasting!!! If I had gotten it more spicy, maybe I might not have detected the oily taste. For 2 items and over $30, this was not my idea of a stellar meal. Service was good for takeout and the restaurant is very clean and neat but food quality is over 75 % of the experience. I would not try this place again.

    Fresh summer roles
    Leanne G.

    We have enjoyed take-out from Thai Opal before but dined in for the first time. The food was good and the ambiance was surprisingly comfortable for being in a strip mall. The service was outstanding. Although we enjoyed our meal, each dish had something that was a bit unexpected. The masaman curry was very sweet but had nice textures with the veg and nuts. The Lard Na had a great variety of vegetables but the noodles were over cooked and became gelatinous. Finally, the Garlic stir fry had nice flavors and lots of veg (especially carrots); the garlic was nearly raw and in big chunks. They were so pungent that we had to avoid the big ones (and we are garlic lovers). We will come back if we're in the neighborhood.

    Sauteed Edamame
    Alisha S.

    Came here seeking a healthy meal while also craving my favorite: Thai. Was pleasantly surprised to find a Thai fried rice with a brown rice alternative. I got it with tofu and no egg, which was perfect for my new food lifestyle. It was delicious! So so good! I also got sautéed edamame which hit the spot! And filled me very quickly! Service was kind and accommodating.

It seems to me that this should not happen ever, but I grant that it's possible that it was an honest mistake. Consequently, we get to spend some scarce weekend time to go to the business and get the duplicate-double charge reversed tomorrow, and will be hesitant to return in the future on the heels of this error. Dining out is a treat until you find that you've been gouged with an obvious double charge. I recommend that you check your statements for recent visits here to ensure that the same error was not inflicted on you as well. Update: we returned to Thai Thai today to give them a chance to make the chain of events described above right, and they fell significantly short. The woman who gave us our refund (for the pre-tax amount, after asking us what we wanted and replying the full amount with tip) did not apologize for our troubles, or offer any additional concessions to make up for their error (running our card TWICE for different amounts at the same time, after giving it to our waiter). I asked for a gift certificate for our troubles/their error, and she refused, still with no apology. See you never again, Thai Thai, for double charging us and doing the bare minimum (not even an apology) to address their "mistake."

This location is takeout only, and its location in Victory Park makes it a convenient spot for quick and delicious food. The first time I came I had the crispy wings, vegetable rolls, and the Pad Kee Mao. The wings were huge and meaty - real chicken. Nothing like what you get in mass quantities at places dedicated to wings. The wings were sprinkled with fried garlic, and the flavor was out of this world. My Pad Kee Mao was also cooked perfectly. I ordered the dish at a spice level 4, and it wasn't overly spicy at all. It was a real treat! The vegetable rolls were my favorite by a hair. They were fresh made and the veggies inside were abundant. The taste and texture of the cabbage inside was perfect. The second time I came I did a repeat with the wings and the rolls.
