    Underrated spot here on Lemmon! First time experience and it was great. Wish they gave more gyoza for the appetizer but the entree portion made up for that. It was served hot and ready, my mouth was watering! Their spice level was accurate and I was still able to enjoy the food without my stomach hurting afterwards. Our server was nice despite us coming in an hour before they closed. Very spacious and the tables are free to rearrange so if you come in a big party you can still sit together!

    Drunken Noodles

    I ordered takeout for dinner - drunken noodles pad kee mao and it was really fresh and tasty. The portion size could have been more and also the spice as i selected the highest spice and it still wasn't spicy enough.

    Coconut Milk Soup with Chicken and it comes with a side of rice.

    Honestly I can't recommend this place enough! A true hole on the wall. You're getting authentic food for a fraction of the price. Very homey service, and the food comes out quick so you don't have a long wait.

    Papaya Salad
    Hyun P.

    I think this place is very underrated. I've been here several times and really like food here, especially the papaya salad they give you a lot of papaya. I also like the curry, and thai fried rice. I noticed the last 2 times I was here, there was a bleach cleaning product smell to the place (hope they change this because the smell is distracting when you're eating).

    Fried rice with shrimp and spring rolls

    So happy to find a good shrimp fried rice in the area. Now granted I'd only tried one other place that was close, but it wasn't good so my hunt continued. I could tell the shrimp were previously cooked as some were cold within my rice, and lacked the flavor of the ingredients added to the rice but it was still overall good. I also ordered 2 spring rolls which were good too, so I'd return and order this and their thai. I'll give it 3.5 stars for now (and round up) and adjust later if needed.

    Strawberry almond milk tea with tapioca boba

    Food was amazing! I ate it so fast that I forgot to take a picture of it. I also got some boba tea and it was delicious. We will be back next week!

    Today me and my wife found another instant classic restaurant. A combination of different Asian cuisines in one place. She was really feeling the lettuce wrap with chicken. I had to get the fat noodles and some fried pineapple rice. Two thumbs up definitely would recommend this place to anybody.

    I have no idea what's in this chicken recipe.

    ZERO STARS! Stay away from this place. My daughter just ordered food from WaiWai on June 7,221. The food has Maggots in it! STAY AWAY. I called Ken and let him know to stop serving this food. Health department needs to be noticed.

    This is the first sushi place I have tried so far in Dallas and it was a win! I picked it because…read moreit had good reviews, was super close to me, and more importantly, it had my favorite sushi combo. I am picky when it comes to sushi and this restaurant had my favorite roll! Score! I can't say much about the ambience or service because I got my order to go, but when I went inside to pick it up it was nice and quiet. For 6 pm on a Friday it was pretty empty but had lots of to go orders ready. Mine was ready when they said it would be which I appreciate! Food was great!!! I got the Shrimp Tempura roll which is the roll I always look for at every sushi place I try. Happy to have found a place near me that has one, and for a great price!! The only negative about the sushi and why I have not rated it 5 stars is because of the way the roll was wrapped. The black seaweed wrap was so hard to eat, I had the hardest time chewing and swallowing it. At one point I started choking and got scared it was going to end badly... but I survived. Really unfortunate that it was so hard to chew. I wish they would reformat this roll like traditional rolls so that I would not be hesitant to order again. It really made it unenjoyable to eat as I was struggling to chew it for every single piece. I also got beef fried rice which was a 9/10. Had lots of vegetables, the beef was delicious, and the portion was amazing. I found myself adding a good amount of salt and soy sauce though, but I don't mind. I am also very picky with my fried rice so very happy I found a place that makes it how I like. I will definitely be coming back here and getting my same order again. Maybe cutting off the black seaweed though as it was just really scary trying to chew it. Can't wait to come back.

    We used to go back and forth between a couple of sushi restaurants for delivery, but Ai Sushi has…read moreofficially won us over. The sushi is consistently fresh, clean, and great tasting, with absolutely no fishy smell. Unfortunately, tonight's order was disappointing because my squid salad arrived completely icy, as though it had not fully thawed. I called to let them know, but I'm not sure my concern was fully understood. This was unusual compared with our normally great experiences, so we'll see what the next order brings.

    Ok so I'll be honest -- I almost didn't try this place because I had no idea what half the menu…read morewas. But I'm so glad I took the leap. I ordered the bubur ayam, which is basically this warm, golden rice porridge topped with shredded chicken, a boiled egg, crispy fried shallots, and green onions, with a little cup of sambal on the side. If you're American and trying to wrap your head around it, think somewhere between chicken and noodles and mashed potatoes -- total comfort food, but better. The broth had this deep turmeric flavor that I was not expecting and honestly couldn't stop eating. Everything tasted like someone's grandma made it, which is exactly what you want from a mom and pop spot like this. The portions were generous, the price was right, and the people running it were so nice and clearly proud of what they're serving.

We started with an appetizer we hadn't tried before called batagor, which is essentially deep-fried fish cake. It was so good with the peanut sauce! Very savory and delicious. We also ordered a rice plate called nasi padang. The beef stew was cooked to perfection, and the jackfruit soup that came with it was warm and hearty. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side. We came on a weekday for a late lunch, so it wasn't too busy. It shares a parking lot with other businesses in the same block, and we were able to park easily for free. Overall, we had a great experience! My boyfriend even said he definitely wants to come back!

    I was very excited to try this Malaysian place. They actually do a Thai fusion with it, but it's…read morereally leans more to Malaysian flavors. Their tea is amazing. You can tell they brew it and it doesn't come from a syrup. When I sat down, I was instantly greeted, and there were like four different people serving my table, I think that they all work as a team to make sure everything is covered. The service was just amazing. Restaurant is beautiful, the booths were , small and intimate and you feeling that you in place with privacy and yet part of the group ....kind of interesting how they've done that. But the food! The food was outstanding, first they gave me a complementary appetizer of Jasmine sticky rice with this eggplant chutney, that was very tasty, a teeny bit spicy, but really good depth with flavor. Then my beef Samosas arrived. There were four, wrapped in like a triangle rapper, smaller than the Indian version of the same, and the flavor was very tasty, and corn and small chopped potatoes, yum! The two chutneys that came with it one was a cool cucumber, and the other was this sweet and spicy plum sauce. They made samosas!!! They could be soft and cool, or they could be delicious and spicy, depending on chutney you had them with and you had a third option.... There was a bed of pickled radish and carrot that really sit off the samosas as well and we're just delicious on their own. I devoured the entire thing. Then get the entrée. I had drunken noodles and I added the shredded pork... It was devastatingly tasty!!! the noodles were obviously done it a wok that's been seasoned to perfection. The wide noodles picked up all that deliciousness from the wok and then combined with the pork... heaven ! They had large pieces of bell pepper and tomatoes. very fresh onions... Just deliciousness. I was too full this time to get dessert, but I'm definitely coming back and I will definitely try it next time

    I really want to give the food a 5/5, but if I'm comparing it to a lot of the Thai places I've been…read moreto in Houston, I have to fairly rate them 4/5. There's just been truly so many outstanding experiences I've had in Houston. Regardless, the food was very good and it was authentic, we did get dishes similar to what we got at Street to Kitchen in Houston, which is the most authentic Thai we've had. Food: I forgot to take pictures of two other dishes we ordered, the Thai chicken, wings, and the drunken noodles. But let me start with the complementary sticky rice. I've actually never had a complementary "starter" at a Thai restaurant, so they stood out, and it was a good meal prepper. The dip is an eggplant type of dip so it's not peanut sauce based. It was really good. The best dish was the crab dip with the shrimp chips, the dip was curried and balanced well with the crab. The chicken wings weren't as crispy as we're used to, and there were more on the saucy side, but it was a solid 4/5 dish. The drunken noodles were good and I feel like they had a great mix of veggies, beef, and noodles in the dish, so it wasn't so carb heavy. But we've definitely had better flavor drunken noodles before. Lastly, the mango sticky rice presentation was unlike anything I've seen before, and I loved it. Do I prefer the traditional sliced mango over a bit of rice? Perhaps. But I did enjoy tasting the mango and the condensed milk and a sticky rice together inside the coconut for a change. Service: we went during dinnertime on a Saturday night, and I was so impressed with the level of service we had. Because don't get me wrong, they were busy, but the food came out so fast & we had multiple servers filling up our water and ensuring we're doing okay. We were literally out of there in about an hour, but it wasn't because they were pushing us out, it was truly because everything was so quick. And I loved that strategy they used where we didn't have just one server assigned to us, which is probably why they are thriving here in Dallas. Overall, if you're craving Thai, I would recommend coming here.
