    Nice ambiance, attentive service. Not the best Thai I've ever had but pretty good. It also offers lunch specials. Worth popping into if you are on 99 in Katy and feeling Thai and you're already too far from Katy Asia Town. Lots of parking since it's in the strip mall with a huge Kroger.

    I got the crying tiger steak and it was SO GOOD!! The meat was cooked perfectly to medium rare, just as I had asked for. I loved that it came with sticky rice AND papaya salad! Although I was slightly confused with the steamed vegetables. I ate it all, but they weren't seasoned at all. The sauce that came with was good too. The only thing was the meat was pretty well seasoned for me so it was a bit too salty for me when I dipped it into the sauce. The service was promptly and our server was friendly. Minor complaint, my friend's entree took a while longer for it to come out for whatever reason when she got a pad Thai.

    Urban Thai Kitchen has not lost its touch. Still the best Thai restaurant in Houston area. As we ordered the lunch special, we also go cup of soup, egg roll and salad. Soup was tom yum chicken with good number of chicken pieces and mushrooms. Egg roll with the sweet chili sauce was good as well. We ordered the green chicken curry. They use Thai eggplants (small one) and was delicious. Ordered the basil stir fried ground pork & egg rice plate. Ground pork was very tasty. Comes with fried basil that were crispy. We ended our meal with the mango sticky rice. Instead of the standard white rice, they used purple rice. Probably one of the best in Houston. Service was quick. It wasn't busy when we came in on a Saturday morning. Restaurant is very nicely decorated. They have a wall of the Thai alphabets. Definitely will come again when we are in the area. Highly recommend to check them out. This is our go to place after Thai Gourmet closed down.

    Order one thing got another. What can you do. Maybe we have to come in and sit down because delivery prices was crazy. 20$ and it isn't what we even wanted

    The lunch special Tom Yum chicken soup with side salad and spring roll

    My colleagues and I come here quite a frequently for lunch. The service is amazing, the food is excellent quality and I absolutely love this place. I highly recommend giving it a try their lunch special it absolutely an amazing value A soup, a salad and egg roll and an entrée is a steal. And the ambience is cozy and friendly. Absolutely a hidden gem that needs to be checked out.

    This week I tried the Tom Yum Pork/Shrimp Wonton soup on the lunch menu! This place never misses! I can always count on consistent Thai flavor and quality in the food prep for their customers. The prices have increased but I still think it's a good value for the amount of food and quality you receive at this family-owned Thai restaurant and I always refer all my friends in the area to try them out. I love to order my favorite dishes; the green and red curry, pad kee mao, pad see ewe, shrimp pad thai, basil friend rice and khao soi. My favorite appetizers are the money bags, shrimp rolls, and tulip port dumplings. So if you're in the area stop and try it. Sometime the mom owner will come out and great you to say hello. She's even treated me to a delicious Thai tea which is equally delicious. Can you tell I enjoying eating at the place...LOL

    Thai tea

    Urban Thai is a restaurant located in a shopping strip near Kroger. Cozy setting if dining in. Service was pretty good overall. The Thai tea was a little too sweet. Got mild spice for all 3 dishes. Pad kee mao with chicken was delicious but more on the sweeter side (probably shouldve done medium spice?). Was not too crazy about the chicken khao soi. It's savory and chicken quality was great, but I've had better at other restaurants. Finally, for the massaman curry, the SO picked beef as the protein. I personally would've chosen chicken or tofu. You can tell from the cuts that the beef was going to be tough to chew (and it was). Aside from the beef, everything else in the curry was delicious! There was an option to choose naan or rice. This restaurant is worth trying once!

    Classic Pad Thai

    We got Pad Thai, Mixed Vegetables, Soft Rolls, Fried Tofu and it was all delicious, fresh, and authentic. They were able to make the food jain and vegan. Service was great

    Great food. Good service. Restaurant is always clean with a pleasant atmosphere. We are fans of the lunch special that comes with soup, salad, and a spring roll.

The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and authentic. Their Pad Thai has the perfect balance of traditional Thai flavors, and all of their curries are fantastic. My personal favorite is the red curry--it brings just the right amount of heat while delivering incredible flavor. The chicken satay is another must-try, especially with their perfectly balanced peanut sauce. And don't overlook the house salad, which comes with an incredible orange dressing that is absolutely out of this world. You really can't go wrong with Ginger Thai. Great people, amazing food, and authentic Thai flavors--it's the kind of place that turns first-time visitors into regulars in no time!

When they give you a time to come pick up your food if you arrive at the restaurant within that time, then it is ready at that moment In so far is the quality of the food is concerned we had steamed pork dumplings, which were excellent, crab rice, incredibly good and well worth repeating, green curry, which was absolutely yummy spicy, but very flavorful. The quantities are such that the price is appropriate. If you enjoy Thai Food, this is certainly not a place. You should miss when you're in Katie . I would highly highly recommend it.

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.

    I will be quite honest with you that I really have no experience with Malaysian food. In point of…read morefact, I've bypass this restaurant numerous times simply assuming that it was Chinese. It is anything but in point of fact, it is in my estimation, a unique culinary experience. I don't write from the perspective of comparing this food to other Malaysian dishes that I've had in point of fact to the best of my recollection I don't think that I've ever had Malaysian cuisine. But if this restaurant is an example, I have missed a great deal. The food is very unique the servings are very gracious charitable. The prices are incredibly reasonable given the distinction of this particular cuisine and given the portions and quality of food that is served. The service is quite simple and the restaurant is actually quite small. However, I must tell you from A service perspective. It's truthfully amazing because the takeout business is extremely active. Not to mention the fact that the chef walks out and speaks to people will share anything that you want to know about Malaysian food and obviously from the quality of the food that I ate not only is his explanation thorough but my guess is his skills are incredible. As I said it is very small so it's difficult to Alpine about the ambience other than it was quite clean and given the number of whom I suspect were Malaysian people it's obviously quite popular within that community. So I take that to be a sign that this food is quite native in nature. I had a pork meal, which is only on Sundays. I spoke to the chef about it, and he explained that the preparation started one day in advance of actually serving the meal, so I understand why it is only served once a week. Although I must tell you because I lack familiarity it seemed to me that I would be hours and hours trying to replicate any of the dishes. All I can tell you is this if you are in an exploratory mood for a cuisine and have had or have not had Malaysian before I suspect this is a place to go. Quite informal, extremely fair pricing very generous portions great service very pleasant people and frankly it's a a family affair of what you will see many when you go. Quite a lovely experience.
