Thai Opal is the perfect Thai spot.... Great food, nice, clean atmosphere and friendly people! What more could you ask for?? (They also have my eggplant stir fry dish that I have such a hard time finding done well or at all and they make it just how I like it!) Since moving to Dallas from Seattle where Thai food is on every corner, we've tried most of the spots in the area. Since finding Thai Opal they are now our only place to go for delivery or dine in Thai. So glad we did. Thanks for the amazing eggplant! :) read more

The image speaks for itself, not much to say about it. The dish was as good as it looks. The atmosphere was on point as well with the candles and background music, and the staff was friendly! 5 stars and will be back! Great experience! read more

Thai Opal - Basil Fried Rice - Thai Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I live 5 mins away from this place and have referred at least 10 people to try it out. They are getting a 1 star for service this past Sunday I had a friend name Angela pick up a crab fried rice meal which is $25 (I always order this meal btw) due to being sick. When I got it there was no crab at all (the cook forgot to add it). Had my friend call but the young man hung up so she then goes there. The young man brings it to the kitchen, the woman refused to remake saying she would lose out on $30 and that there was crab on the plate when she made it but chose to refund my money! I will try my best to not support this place again. Check your food before leaving because they don't believe you when there is an issue with your food! read more

Ok I'll loved and have ordered and dined at this restraint since it opened. Its cute and quaint and the food has always been delicious. However on a recent visit I called in a lunch order on a Monday. When I walked in there was no one on there aside from the owner behind the counter. I see her there all the time and said hi and asked her business was and she replied.."it's a Monday." Well when she rang me up she charged me 17.85 for the basil spicy Noodle. I was perplexed and asked we why it was so much. She explained that they ONLY sell dinner and there is no more lunch menu. She never mentioned this on the phone when I first placed the ordered so I told her never mind I would like to cancel . She got annoyed and told me you've placed the order we already cooked it for you and that I could not return the food. Here's the deal, if you want to come here for lunch then be prepared to spend dinner prices! I see now why the restaurant was empty at lunch hour around 1pm. Its expensive! I'll pay for dinner at dinner. She said she was going to add a comment on her computer that she has now informed me and that next time I will need to pay dinner price. She could have saved her time typing, I WONT EVER COME BACK! Its bad business to take an order and never mention the new price update. Tell the customer and let them decide if the price is right especially when ordering at lunch. Its disappointing because I really did like the restaurant but there are a lot of other great Thai places around the area and throughout the city that offer lunch and dinner. Good Luck TO read more

I was in Dallas on an overnight trip in search for a bite to eat for dinner. I decided on Thai food and it lead me to Thai opal. I am picky about my Thai after being in Thailand for over a week on vacation. Upon entering it had a very intimate feel. We were seated at our table and ordered summer shrimp rolls as our starter. The summer rolls are your usually rolls made with rice paper and stuffed with shrimp and veggies. There was a peanut sauce for dipping but not the best since very runny. They were good but not wow. For our entrees I ordered Tom yum shrimp soup extra spicy (5 hot). It was spicy but for me maybe a 2-3 spicy out of 5. I will say that the flavor was solid and there was about 6-8 decent size shrimp inside the bowl. My husband opted for the spicy basil noodle with chicken. His spice level he opted for was a 3 and it was slightly too spicy for him. He did say the flavor was good. I had a bite of his dish and I didn't like it nor did I think it was spicy. To each their owns I guess? Overall your typical Thai place. You can find a solid meal but nothing that wowed me. . read more

The owner is the sweetest. The decor is perfect, it's such a hidden gem, we added it to a date night rotation. Don't knock it till you try it! The location may deter you but WOW!! It's so hidden and I'm so happy read more

Eating their food from Uber eats right now, totally disgusting. Worst pad Thai ever. I feel like I'm going to be sick. Go someplace else for sure. read more

An absolute gem in Lake Highlands. The quality of the food here and value for what you are paying is fantastic. Their spice tastes authentic, the heat levels are great, and the flavor is phenomenal. I've eaten the Pad Thai, Basil Noodle, Tom Kha, and Kao Soi. Everything is delicious, and their takeout is on point!! Highly recommended. read more

i'd rate this place a 3.75/5. the red curry is thick (the thickest curry i've had to date) and very flavorful. i've never had curry this thick. i will say it's very expensive for what it is ($17 and it's just chicken). biggest draw back point for me. the thai tea is not good. it's watery and doesn't have much flavor, i wouldn't buy it again read more

Love this place!!!! Food is always incredible and the owner is fabulous. She is so personable and fun. Best panan curry in dallas.

I have been coming here for years and always have loved it. Unfortunately, the last few times I've ordered from them, I've noticed that they took the cucumbers out of the sauce for the corn patties. I thought maybe it was a mistake but I had a large order to go last Saturday, and I always ask for extra sauce for the corn patties because we love the cucumbers in the sauce, but again there was nothing but a clear sauce, and it really takes away from the dish. We also got a large order of Tom Kha soup with shrimp. It had exactly 3 shrimp in it. Very disappointing because there are usually a lot of shrimp in the large portion of soup. The green curry with chicken was good, as were the drunken noodles, so maybe I will just stop getting the appetizers and that's too bad because they used to be great ! read more

The food here is just so delicious and well presented. The dining experience is top notch with great service.

Great service. Food was a very good. I had the Thai basil fried rice with shrimp and pad kee mao and they tasted great. Water was good. Reasonable priced. read more

First time visit. We had: yellow curry with chicken (comes with rice), crab rangoons, Tom Ka chicken soup, steamed dumplings, cashew with beef (comes with rice) and Thai Tea. Everything was D-lish! Service was good...restaurant was decently clean with a calming atmosphere. We will be returning read more

I had the red curry with duck meat and steamed rice, and it was delicious! My girlfriend had the drunken noodles, and it was really good! In the pic I had fried shrimp wraps with a dipping sauce. Definitely recommend this place read more

Thai Opal - Fried shrimp wrap! - Thai Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Five stars because it's the best Thai I've ever had? No, that's crazy high praise and I'm a realist. 5-stars because this is my staple Thai spot where I live, big portions, reasonable prices, never had an issue with takeout, and if you're looking for a recommendation get the Masaman curry and load it with spice - definitely my favorite thing on the menu. [my wife loves their noodles!] read more

Some of the BEST Thai food in Dallas. I'm vegan and my husband is not and we both are always very happy with our meals from Thai Opal. The spicy Thai peanut tofu is amazingggg and my boo is obsessed with their yellow curry. Those veggie spring rolls will make your tummy happy too and don't get me started on the banging pad Thai. The service here is spot on. I love supporting businesses like this and will no doubt order from them again. COVID specific: order online or over the phone and they will bring out to your car. I have never waited for more than 5 minutes when picking up my ready order! read more

OMG! We stopped by Thai Opal today while waiting for our bays at Top Golf and we were over satisfied!! The food. The service. The atmosphere. Everything was great. Appetizers: We had the Calamari, Chicken Wings, and Crab Rangoon. The brought out each dish separately (as soon as it was done) which was perfect because everything was extremely fresh. I'm not a huge crab Rangoon fan, but this one was amazing! The wontons were fried perfectly and the stuffing was creamy and flavorful. The calamari was yummy. Nothing fancy but it was damn good! Entrees: We ordered a combination Pad Thai, Ginger Chicken, Tamarind Shrimp, and Mongolian Beef. EVERY SINGLE PLATE WAS DELICIOUS! Similar to the appetizers, everything was brought out as it was done. My favorite dish was the tamarind shrimp. The shrimp was battered and then tossed in the sauce with perfectly cooked veggies. We also tried the Thai tea (amazing) and the mango sticky rice (soo good)! I'm sure you can tell that I can't wait to go back! read more

Very fresh and tasty food, I've never been disappointed with anything ordered. Owner is so nice and provides outstanding service.

My friend and I came here for lunch on a Tuesday. This place is tucked way in the shopping center; it's next to the washaria. Parking isn't an issue due to it being in a shopping center; plus, there are two parking spots reserved in front of the establishment. Anyway, when you walk in, the establishment is elegant. There was no wait so my friend and I got immediate service. Susan was our server and she was extremely nice. My friend and I ordered: veggie spring rolls (apps), I had the pad Thai, and my friend had the chicken fried rice. Our dish came with the option of a soup or salad. I opted for the salad and my friend opted for the soup. My salad was simple; lettuce carrots and ginger dressing but it was good. My friend enjoyed her soup. Next we had our dishes. My dish was a traditional pad Thai; it was good, I wish I had a little bit more spice. Overall, I had a good experience at this place! read more

What a great place! Was my first time here and brought a date. Nice atmosphere. They do a good job in keeping an elegant vibe but still very comfy and friendly. Very good food. The shrimp appetizer was great. Nicely fried. Had the Pad Tai and added shrimp. Decent wine and beer selection. Will define key be back. read more

I had the dinner Thai spicy flat noodles with chicken. Was very tasty and would definitely get again. The Thai tea seemed a little watered down, maybe due to melted ice or something. Service was great, also. read more

I just enjoyed delivery from Thai Opal! Not only was it fast and efficient, but the food was delicious. I ordered the calamari which came with a sweet and sour sauce, chicken spring rolls and Spicy Basil Noodles. Everything was excellent. The spring rolls were crisp, the calamari was tender and the Spicy Basil Noodles were seasoned just right. I probably could have handled a little more heat from the peppers but it was delicious! The portions were more than generous and I will be enjoying left overs for lunch tomorrow. Definitely a keeper! read more

This spot was by far one of the best Thai places I've ever been too. The food was delicious, but the service was totally a five star restaurant service. They welcome you with a huge smile in their face and really make you feel special the moment you walk in. My fiancé and I had our bridal party proposal there and they went above and beyond. They closed early so we can have our own private event and they also decorated the table so beautifully. I would recommend this restaurant over and over again a million times because they were the BEST! (I couldn't find any pictures of the table decoration). read more

This is a very quaint and cozy restaurant, a surprise to me. I had the Pad Kee Mao and the spice was perfect! My friend had the coconut soup for the first time and wasn't crazy about it. The broth was more sour than coconutty. We went for a late lunch so we mostly had the place to ourselves, which was great! read more

An amazing ambience and the TASTIEST Thai food I've ever had! I highly highly recommend Thai Opal.

The service was great, my waitress was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious!!! I ordered the spring rolls and chicken Pad Thai. The only issue I had was that I ordered the Pad Thai with no peanuts and it still came with peanuts. Luckily it was not cooked in so I could easily scoop it off the plate. I would definitely return! read more

The quiet ambiance was nice. The prices were higher than I remember and the pad Thai was not good. My son tried it and agreed. The curry and spring rolls were good. For the price, it's not worth getting another meal that I don't want to eat. read more

Never dined in-no idea about site. Many delicious choices, fresh and fast delivery. Portions were not las generous that of Bangkok City.

Always a pleasant experience with great service and delicious, fresh food. Particularly like the items on the menu with duck Over the past two years, we've eaten just about half of what is on the menu and don't have anything we wouldn't recommend read more

Man... This place gets slammed on a Friday night. We waited awhile to get our food but its definitely worth the wait. We started with the pot stickers and veggie fried spring rolls. We ordered the Thai tea as a typical beverage for our meal. As the main course we ordered the glass noodle soup, masaman curry and pad see ew... Finished the meal with the traditional sticky rice and mango. What a fabulous meal!! A must go.. The staff is super nice and wonderful as well. read more

The absolute worst for takeout! It is very unfortunate for me to report this but we had no choice, almost! We have lived in Dallas for 6 years and we live near this restaurant and have been here numerous times. The food is usually great! However, every single time we order takeout they forget something. Every single time without fail. We have never experienced a phenomena like this! Bizarre!! I mean we have tried to get takeout from here near a dozen times and every time they forget something. Most times we call and let them know but did not want to come back to rectify the order because it is a waste of time and we are busy. They have never offered to reimburse us either which is a real kicker. And they know of the error even. They also never apologize for messing up the order or our time and money wasted. We usually take several months to order again given this always happens. We have not gone in about a year this time but we decided to give it one more try. And of course, they forgot something again!! This time my husband drove all the way back and asked to talk with the manager and he wouldn't even come out. We are so done with this place as they do not even care to apologize or make things right. read more

Update: I had made a review about them lacking the lemon grass tea but they do actually have it. It was just that they have some people don't speak english well so we had a misunderstanding. It's still very good foo Found this place on yelp. Wanted good food, the kind that isn't greasy hamburgers or cheesy pizza or spicy gloopy Mexican. I got into a wreck recently and wanted something healthier for healing. love thai food, usually go to tukta Thai but wanted to try something new. I had the cup of thom Kha soup and the papaya salad. The soup smelled different than usual, I liked the way it tasted. At first didn't like sight of iceberg lettuce underneath papaya but it tasted very good. I tried my dad's pad thai and it smelled a bit weird and I didn't like the taste that much, tasted a little charred. Then why five stars? The overall atmosphere of this place is amazing. The overall food is greet. The service is wonderful as well. I talked to Susan who I believe is the owner and she was happy to talk with us. She had just finished talking to someone from a magazine. They are doing well I'm happy for them. It was so relaxing to come here after such a tough weekend. I loved it and definitely will be back. read more

This place not only has amazing Thai cuisine, the service is above exceptional. I discovered this place with friends last year and although I live near the farmers market area of Dallas, I make the trip over to Thai Opal. They remember who I am as well as orders that I had placed in past visits. The entire staff makes me feel welcomed and valued as a guest. Rattana has been my server each time I have visited and Art assists her, they both make the experience for me. My favorite entree is the Spicy Basil Noodle. You can choose between 5 levels of spice with 5 being the spiciest. And of course you can choose your protein. They do offer beer and wine. The restaurant also has a nice ambiance and they play pretty cool music. I strongly recommend Thai Opal for your next Thai experience. - Ray. read more
