DELICIOUS authentic Thai food. Highly recommend the Tom Kha soup and red curry-they cured my cold!

Perfect spot for great Thai food! The owners/staff were so kind and visited with me. Very sincere and helpful. Filled my belly and loved the company. I will be going back again very soon. read more

Very disappointed with our recent visit. We waited over an hour for our food and never received it, while multiple to-go orders were sent out. Dine-in customers who frequent weekly should not be ignored especially during lunch. We had to return for work so no lunch this day. After many visits in the past, this experience was frustrating and unacceptable. read more

Fantastic food and even better service. Truly a one-of-kind spot in Amarillo! Authentic Thai food and the owner goes above and beyond. Customers become friends- they know you by name! read more

This restaurant can compete with any other this restaurant in a major city and win with flavor and authenticity. I only came here at the recommendation of some locals and I am so thankful I did. Admittedly, a bit skeptical at the humble exterior, but inside it was welcoming, clean, and sure got full during the lunch hour. All of the food was packed high (I couldn't finish my plate and that is a rarity!) Ask for the heat "princess hot" - as hot as one of the Vietnamese waitresses likes it - it'll burn your face off with heat and great flavor. I can't wait to go back to Amarillo to try something else off the menu. Amazing. read more

Thai Star - Combo Pad Piek w/fried egg - Thai Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

Best Thai food in town. Plates are ready in minutes...food taste fresh...great service and reasonable prices. Get here early because seating is limited. You can also call in your orders ahead of time and they will be ready to eat when you go to dine in or carry out. This is kind of a hole in the wall gem but don't pass up the looks for the amazing food. Give it a try and you won't be disappointed. Every plate is delicious. I went two days in a row just to try other items while visiting the town for work. I can't wait to visit again and try more menu items. read more

I love the Pad Thai at the Thai Star. I like it best when the husband is cooking.

The best Beef and broccoli ever ! Freshest ingredients come through in the dishes. Love this place! Try it , you won't regret it read more

My first visit here by word-of-mouth. First of all, The food is extremely good. Second it is authentic made to order even special request are honored graciously. Best Thai food in the panhandle of Texas. I'm still here and thinking I can't wait to come back!! read more

The best Thai food in the city with (for my money) the best Thai food in the country. So why no five-star review? Service was, and always has been, spotty. And on this visit, it was downright terrible. But how about that food? Delicious as usual. I used to live in Amarillo, so I have had many of the items on their menu, but now every time I come back (which isn't often), I get the shrimp pad thai. SO yummy! Love the sweet peanutty sauce and the fresh bean sprouts. They give you plenty of shrimp, and the noodles aren't gummy like bad pad thai. And I love the slice of lime that brightens everything up. My husband had the same (same reaction, for the most part), and our friend Deb had the chicken chow mein, which she loved as well. The decor certainly is nothing to rave about and, as I said, the service pretty much sucks. But the food is so good that I can overlook the negatives and still leave happy and full. read more

Thai Star - Looks dicey on the outside. Tastes great on the inside! - Thai Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

Incredible. Authentic. Consistent. Be careful, however, as many of their dishes can leave a fire in your mouth. The Pad Piek is by far the hottest dish I have ever attempted to consume. Holy smokes. When they bring it out people clear away. I recommend the Chicken Larb, the Pad Piek King (not so hot as Pad Piek), the Kra-Pao chicken, spring rolls (not the egg rolls), and pretty much any noodle dish. read more

I have eaten here for thirty years. I have eaten Thai food around the nation and never had any as good as here. There are things I don't love on the menu but the beef salad, seafood soup, pad pic, fried fish are all great. Be prepared if you insist on spicy because they will burn your house down if you ask for it. The place is a dive in not the nice part of town it is clean and the service is generally good. read more

Used to be a good and "easy to get to" location right until they built this huge bridge infront of it. Not that many people know about this location. They're only open lunch time mon-fri (with the execption of fri open through dinner) and closed weekends. It's funny cause I always see cop cars posted up in the parking lot all the time. So either these cops love thai food or this is their secret headquarters.. Love the food. read more

I've experienced pretty amazing thai food in my home city, being Chicago, but for some odd reason Thai Star takes the cake! This is my absolutely favorite thai joint and, honestly, this alone will be a good enough reason to keep going back to TX! (Well, other than the cute boys.... ;) ) My favorite thing to get here is, and not to go on popular dishes but, the pad thai and their fried rice. The pad thai is just crispy and savory enough, while the fried rice has a tangy kick that just screams " Whoa, party in my mouth!" read more

One of the reasons I like yelp is that a person can find a great hole in the wall restaurant in other cities. This place fits the description well, which makes it even more enticing. The service was great, the owner greeted us and even offered up some green papaya she was eating. I eat Thai all over and this was one of the better establishments. The fried rice dishes were great, also had chicken panang and the spring rolls. My only complaint is they did not offer a fresh spring roll. I'll stop in again if in Amarillo. read more

The best beef salad I've ever had. Order it medium unless you can handle a lot of heat. Egg drop soup is the best you will find. Open late on Fridays, lunch only Mon - Fri. Closed weekends. read more

A tiny little place but the food is phenomenal! Thai food is our families favorite and we go to great distances to eat great Thai food, including traveling to Thailand. Only downside for me was being a vegetarian they didn't have a protein option like Tofu but I'm sure they don't get a lot of requests for it. The owner/cook is very hospitable and kind. A must stop when traveling through Amarillo! read more

Thai Star - Vegetable Panang Curry Thai Hott - Thai Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

One of the best Pad Thai's I've ever had, and I made sure to finish the whole thing because there was no way I could let it go to waste. If that's not enough, this place has been around for 25 years with the same cook who is a really nice Thai lady, and basically has awards around the restaurant showing it being the best Thai restaurant among many in that area. read more

Stopped by here on the way through town for something different. My only complaint is if your in a hurry it can take a while to get too off the freeway, there can be more traffic than you'd expect in the middle of a week day. If you have some spare time then I'd recommend it. The Pad Thai and Beef/Brocolli are great. Service is mediocre. It's not in the best part of town and looks like a shack but if that doesn't scare you then go get yourself some great Thai food. read more

My husband worked in Amarillo and went here often. It was a while before I got to go and I was greatly impressed with this place. The food here is the best Thai food in Amarillo maybe the whole country... I kid there a little bit but I'm sure it is up there with the best. It has been featured in Texas Monthly as one of the best places to eat several times as well. read more

Outstanding Thai food in Amarillo. I was told about this place from a customer. Now it is a regular stop when I am in town. Owner will make your dish exactly the way you want it. Go eat here, you won't be disappointed. read more

Best thai food. Fresh ingredients. Treated like family every time. Friendly staff. Love coming here!!!

We were in Amarillo for a horse show at the Tri County Fairgrounds(nearby) and used Yelp to find a place to eat. Thai Star came up and we love Thai food and decided to try it. I have to say if it hadn't have come highly recommended I probably wouldn't have stopped to eat here. It's a tiny little place on what used to be Route 66 (the old major route through Amarillo) but given the reviews we forged ahead. We of course, tried the Beef Salad, which was awesome absolutely delicious with heat to boot. We also ordered a Ginger Chicken (Pad Piek?) that that was very good but pretty hot. The owner came out and sat down and talked with us, who was very charming, she is delightful! She asked us why we ordered a noodle dish that only Thai people usually order but was the only dish that didn't burn off taste buds off. We were sitting there eating, sniffling, knowing that we had come across something special, the delicious food , the heat, the charming owner. We had 3 more days in Amarillo and I knew we would be coming back! The owner proposed that upon return that she would cook a meal for us that we would love. We returned, she cooked and it was unreal, this time the Beef Salad even better and hotter than previously! We travel through Amarillo again in November and I'm sure that we will return, with our taste buds salivating 70 miles out, I'm certain of that! read more

Finding places like this is why ya gotta love Yelp! Traveling through Amarillo I'd never have known about, or bumped into, this place in a million years. It's a little old shack in a rather depressing industrial area - and it's great! They say it's been there for over twenty years. Huge portions, fresh ingredients. This is the kind of place I love to find and wish there were a lot more of, but unfortunately there isn't. Six stars! read more

ordered tom yum goon and husband ordered a spicy fried fish. my son had fried rice. generous portions and the food was amazing. if im ever in this city again i will definately stop here. read more

Thai Star - Thai Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

I do not understand why people like this place so much.... Worst Thai food I ever had in my life! It's not cooked with fresh thai ingredients... It's like they've been try to mask flavors with weird tasting "Thai sauces". Smells like pig shit in there! read more

Authentic friendly amazing food! Passing through amarillo and found this gem! Home cooked goodness 100%

Pretty good. We came in from Houston and saw the reviews, so we thought we'd try it. I'd say this is a very average place but above average for Amarillo. Got the red curry it was missing on flavor probably due to lack of local ingredients. But could of used some better coconut milk, basil, and rice. read more

I'm sure for the area this a great restaurant. The owner is an extremely nice woman who greets every patron privately. The place looks very rundown, from the interior I'd guess it was a small retail store before or an insurance company or something. The food was fine, nothing terrible but nothing wholly delicious either. My curry tasted overly fatty and my wife's pad thai was very soggy with little crunch. When I asked for heat they laughed at me and said taste it before you ask for spice, I laughed too. When I tasted the curry it had very little heat, I didn't say anything because I had already been made to feel self conscious. Like I said nothing great here, nothing terrible either. I gave them 3 instead of 2 because of how nice they were, not because of the food. read more

Very good. Got the beef salad. Spicy and delicious. Owner is a very sweet Thai lady who knows all her regulars, and welcomes new people. Very friendly and talkative. Made me feel right at home. read more

My son and I had the kee mao...spelling might be off but it was out of this world ....I have been craving it ever since...owner chef very friendly and accommodating and will help you with your choices and even adding the table spices to your food to get just the right taste. As authentic as it gets. If you are in Amarillo or just passing through it is a must stop. read more

This is the most authentic Thai food in the area, the owner is so nice, she knows her customers. I don't care what the building looks like, she could serve the food outside and I'd still eat it! read more

The best Thai food in town! The freshest ingredients...try the pad piek if you can handle the heat, beef salad is amazing or the pad kee map is always a great option! read more

My first time and also last time. I ordered "Chicken Paa Ciu" to pick up right after they opened for the day but it seemed to me they used the old oil which made my food so awful, eggs and chicken got burned due to being overcooked. Also, its ridiculously expensive for just a Chicken Paa Ciu with $10.01 after tax in such an ugly designed restaurant I have ever been while many other Thai restaurants in Amarillo, nice and supper clean, you pay that $10.01 for a combination meal with chicken, pork and shrimp. Only one choice of those costs you around maximum $9 after tax I am sure. Never go back and won't recommend for sure. read more

I'm in town temporarily and was informed that there is a sizeable Laotian community that has opened a lot of Thai-Laotian restaurants along East Amarillo Blvd. So I've been trying one a week. Thai Star was by far the worst! I ordered Pad-Ci-U and 1 egg roll and 1 spring roll. To begin with the pot of tea arrived with luke-warm water. The egg roll and spring roll were so-so. But the Pad-Ci-U was awful. It was drowned in so much soy sauce that the noodles were almost black in color. Then out of the kitchen pops the cook, a good ol boy, they didn't even have an Asian doing the cooking! And there were two asian ladies sitting out front playing cards. That's the first and only time I'll go there. read more

Some delicious authentic thai food! The pad thai was great, and another more simple dish, just a veggie stir fry was out of this world! The sauce was excellent and veggies were fresh, tasty, and cooked perfectly! read more

Married once to a Thai man, I know authentic Thai food when I eat it. Thai Star is closest I have come to that. The pad piek is delicious add a fried egg on top, omg. Reminds me of my xhusbands home cooking. Very tasty, indeed. read more
