Yummy thai food! This place is close to my work, so we order from this restaurant when we are in mood for thai food! Also, they deliver, and it is definitely a plus! I feel their thai food is not greasy as some other places, and I like that they give you pepper flakes instead of sriracha sauce when you order your food spicy. I think it brings out the flavor more. I've never been to their restaurant, but the delivery people have been very nice and professional. We will definitely order again! read more

My Dallas go to restaurant for Thai cuisine. Wish I could give it more than Exceptional service and fantastic wine selection at surprisingly great prices. read more

Went for the $10.95 lunch special and made that clear to my server. Asked again as I was considering my choice (red curry with beef) and was assured it was on the lunch special list. Had water to drink. The red curry had a ton of bell pepper, some frozen peas and questionable quality beef. Disappointing. Received a check for $16.95. I won't be back. read more

Not good. Definitely not real Thai food. Food, especially Chicken tasted funky, like maybe going bad. Green curry was close to cafeteria food. Overall, do not recommend. I read the other reviews and ratings - that's why we went. Will not return. Overall I give it a YUK. read more

The food is so good! Authentic Thai food in a precious setting. Thai Opal is a great restaurant with a very friendly staff and affordable menu. The location is a bit small so plan ahead if you're visiting on the weekend. Love this place! read more

Best Thai food in town to me! Clean Restaurant. Friendly staff and the food is excellent!

I do not get the good reviews for this place. Slow service, very mediocre food, our order came out wrong and then the waiter acted like we were putting him out to change it. Still got charged for the incorrect entree. We will not be back. We've had much better thai food than here. I'd like to think we caught them on a bad day but I doubt it. Disappointing that a Thai place can't do a decent pad thai read more

Love this restaurant! I'm a huge Thai food fan and I think this is one of the most authentic Thai restaurants in Dallas!

For me, this is the best Thai restaurant in Dallas. I've been going here for a couple of years now, and their food is consistently good. The Pad Kee Mow and the Red/Panang curries are always on-point. It's BYOB too. The staff there are fun and sassy :) Honestly what's not to love! read more

My spouse and I were looking for a good place to eat in Dallas on a recent trip and came across this gem. It was fantastic! We were treated very well by the waitress and overall the service was very good. We ordered the crab rangoons which were delicious and the Penang curry which was also very good. Overall, we loved our experience and thought the food was fabulous. We will definitely go back when we come back to Dallas next month. read more

Great food, but I recommend take-out only. The service is terrible and last time we ate there, a panhandler came in asking for money! None of the staff kicked him out, because I think they were too busy trying to keep up with cooking food and waiting on 6 tables. The guy finally left, but it weirded out everyone in the restaurant. Their food is really good, so we're not done with the place, but from now on TAKE-OUT only. No more dining in. read more

The best Thai food ever! The service is always first class, ask for Polly. I have tried almost all of the dishes and never been disappointed. read more

Maybe i had them on a bad night, but two stars is GENEROUS! I ordered Pad Thai takeout. When I opened the box the noodles were sticky and dry. Think clumped together pasta noodles. The flavors were okay, but the preparation was just so bad, I couldn't eat it. Maybe it was just an off night....definitely not pleased. read more

Picked up my to-go order of Pad Thai - spicy. (that part was very easy through their web site) It looked like Pad Thai, it had all the ingredients of Pad Thai - but it didn't remotely taste like Pad Thai. I just threw the entire order away. I tried several bites. Good presentation - but there is something very unusual about the taste. It wasn't pleasant in any way. Even with extra lime and mixing it a few times. Maybe other items are good - but not this one! read more

So far, the best Thai restaurant I've been to. The ambience is warm and the staff is very courteous.

This was a great find in Dallas near SMU. Probably the best Thai food I've had in years. The Tom Ka soup was rich and spicy. Both the Panang curry and spicy basil chicken noodle were amazing. They both packed the perfect balance of spice and flavor. Very reasonable price for lunch. Under $40 for the two of us. read more

Not the best Thai food I have ever had but definitely very good. I would definitely recommend Thai Opal but don't expect to be blown away. It's just good Thai food. The price is right and it is very conveniently located. Give them a try if you are looking for casual Thai food. My only complaint is that the lettuce wasn't very green for the larb lettuce wraps, but I definitely ate them all anyway and enjoyed it! Sorry I was too hungry to take pics. read more

This place was a delicious Thai the service was phenomenal and the curry was great we also have the eggplant spicy incredible I would recommend this to everyone read more

Wonderful little gem. Authentic food and good service! I had the pad woonsen and my boyfriend had the yellow curry. I want to return to try everything! read more

I ordered at around 8:30PM and I gotta admit I am a fan. The food is prepared very good and you can tell they take their time but I had to wait almost 24 minutes for my order to be taken. We had the red chicken curry which was amazing and the place is kinda cool I gotta admit. I would give it 5 stars if the wait had not been so long. read more

I love Thai Opal. My husband and I have been a regulars here for 4 years. I love the Masaman Curry!!!! But every dish I have eaten has been wonderful. I like the warm atmosphere inside the restaurant, but we also enjoy ordering delivery. read more

I stumbled on to this restaurant after the nearby Mexican place turned out to be closed and am so glad I did! I have eaten Pad Thai all over the country and hadn't found a place in Dallas that filled the bill...until now. I ordered it here for lunch, and it was fantastic! I ordered with tofu, which was nice and firm, not mushy. The tamarind sauce was divine, not too sweet. The meal tasted very fresh, not warmed over. They served extra condiments on the side in dishes, as should be done. The portion size, even for lunch, was very large (another gripe I have with some Thai restaurants), and I had a choice of soup, salad, or egg roll, as well as a drink thrown in. Price was very reasonable. They have dine-in, including two tables outside in front. The weather today was perfect, so I sat outside and enjoyed my lunch thoroughly. They have a post-COVID tent set up for curbside pickup, which blocks the view of the entrance somewhat, so you have to look for it. read more

Terrible employees would not recommend eating at this place. The employee went as far as to find my personal cell. Do not recommend.

The food is authentic, and freshly hand made, and with a lovely presentation each time. The atmosphere is lovely, and it's quiet enough to talk and visit. We are encouraged to stay; not to rush, and enjoy the delightful meals at our own pace. The spring rolls, Crab Rangun, and Pad Woo Sen were all super good! Easy parking off NW Hwy at Matilda. I will be back next week. Don't keep this a secret! read more

I drive by this restaurant everyday on the way to work...I wash my laundry next door.....this place calls to me..."Eat here...Yummy Thai food...eat here..eat here..". Ok, so I succumbed to the craving for Thai and tried it. I was very impressed. It's pretty well hidden off the road (esp in my case travelling North bound), but it seems to have a great following. When I got there, they were short handed...only the manager was working. I find out later she suspended an employee for not taking car of the customers properly...as evidenced by her handling of the dinner rush..SINGLE HANDEDLY..she wants her customers taken care of well!! She was lightening fast going from table to table, and handling the phones, and handling take out. She never lost her cool, was so funny and cute with all the customers...you'd never know they were short handed. She had 3 parties of 4 or more, and a 6 top, along with lil ole me...and she didn't miss a beat. Service goes a LONG way in my book. I ordered the Thai Basil Fried Rice, and it was pretty yummy. I appreciated her asking how spicy I wanted it; I'm a bit of a wimp on that front. I wasn't crazy about the portion/price ratio though. That's my only reason for knocking off a star. It's not a big gripe, but I was still hungry after I finished...There were other really good looking dishes on the menu, so I'll have to try some more..when it calls to me again!! read more

Thai Opal is an excellent Thai restaurant in the Dallas area. My friends and I split 4 main dishes and a couple appetizers. My two favorites were a curry chicken dish and the chicken wings. The waiter was nice and I would recommend this place and you're in the mood for Thai. read more

I ordered to go for dinner for my mother and I. I ordered the glass noodles and she wanted Pad Thai. We order via the yelp app. I LOVED the glass noodles, it had the perfect amount of protein and vegetables. My mom is very particular about how chicken is cooked in her pad Thai and she seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed it. I am going to go back and try more of the menu. read more

Great new discovery at Skillman and Abrams. Small place in the strip shopping center behind Mariano's Hacienda. Excellent Thai food. We had the Panang Curry and Pad Woon Sen. Just the right amount of spicyness requested and the three chili sauces they brought to the table were hot, hot, hot! Service was helpful and friendly. Nice sized portions. Enough to share and instead of community rice, they served individual portions, which I thought was a nice touch. BYOB and no corkage fee. Going back this week to introduce to other friends. read more

I ordered my meal through Yelp and went to pick it up. It was ready when I got there. The food was just like I ordered. Curry, medium spicy with tofu and brown rice. SO GOOD!!!!! So flavorful and just the right amount of heat. I will definitely be returning. read more

Absolutely overrated. I came here for the high rating, and I was very disappointed. Even though the service is fine, the food is at most average. read more

This place was very interesting. I really liked the mood/setting and the customer service was excellent. I got edamame, vegetable spring rolls, and pad se ew. So the edamame and pad se ew had a very smokey flavor. I'm not against it, but it was just very different! Not what I had expected. The vegetable spring rolls were great! Very affordable, good options, nice place read more

Quiet, with nice ambiance, and absolutely delicious food. Fresh ingredients carefully prepared makes all the difference.

Really surprisingly good, a notch above the usual, and reasonable prices. They seem to try to make it elegant, which is mostly ok, except for the guy spreading the napkin in your lap. And the hot towels have a weird smell, might be better scentless and just warm. read more

So good! Service is top notch and food is so amazing! The waitress was really attentive and really friendly! Will definitely come back!

Don't know why this place has 5 stars. They don't even add lemmon leaves in their Tom yum! Food is mediocre - good prices for lunch portions. Good service. read more

New place here in lake highlands which I highly recommend! The place is small and intimate and the owners are very nice and catering. Great Thai food especially for this area read more

Tonight was packed, and had to wait a little bit for my food, but it totally worth it, I preffer to wait for my food and make sure its going to be with the same Quality and flavor than the first time. Guys seriously dont come to this place so I can have their full attention and my food will be ready faster... read more

My delivery was 45 minutes late, in addition to the hour wait time. I read the reviews in regards to the taste of the food and decided to order. When my food arrived it was ice cold. Maybe dining is better. read more

My husband and I tried this new place out last night! Great atmosphere and service, wonderful food as well! And to top it off it is BYOB! We will definitely be back! read more

Thai Opal is a must-try. It is a hidden treasure in the heart of Lake Highlands. The food was wonderful and made to order. And the service was exceptional. I cannot wait for a return visit. read more
