Thai is our next favorite food after Indian and Zense earns top points in good food. I have been there many times and have tried Pad Kee Mao, Pad Thai, Thai Fried Rice and loved them. The only dish I did not relish was Pad Ba Mee. I felt that the egg noodles was not cooked properly. The ambiance is calming too. And best of all, its really close to home. I am going to take off a star. I went there recently nearing closing time. I agree it was my fault, but that does not mean the service or food should be sub par. The spicy basil rice did not have enough salt or spice. read more

This was my first time eating Thai food, and I LOVED it!!!! I ordered the Shrimp Pad Thai, and it is now my favorite food ever. It was fresh, delicious, and looked beautiful. My only complaint is that it took a while for them to get our plates to the table. I guess next time I will call and order ahead of time? :D Anyways, if you're looking for great Thai food, this is the place to go, definitely. read more

Very good green curry, super authentic. I came here and asked the owner what was their most authentic dish and they said Green Curry or Pa Kee Mow, so I decided to go with Green Curry. It was delicious and tasted amazing! I knew that I had not tried this curry paste they used before, because it wasn't the Masee or Mae Ploy brand. I found out that they use a special curry sauce from Thailand that they import in, which really gave it a very unique flavor. I loved every bite and will definitely go back to try their Pa Kee Mow next time. Best of all they had Roti, which is a delicious dessert that I can never find at any Thai restaurants. So happy I found them!!! read more

I love the food. Spiced to order and flavorful. I always get the pud woon sen with chicken no rice and extra veggies. Nice variety of vegetables and always freshly cooked. My fave local family run Thai restaurant in Irving. read more

One of my favorite Thai places in DFW. I normally get the ka prow spaghetti and the papaya salad with my wife, and it never disappoints. My only complaint is that is can take awhile for food to be prepared. The last time we were here, it took about 35 minutes to receive our entrees. read more

So.... I travel... a lot. And I like Thai food.... a lot. And, ZENse. ... is really good Thai food. Small, clean, great service, good portions, and terrific flavor. I had the Larb Gai salad and pad Thai (standard US fare is a test) and both were served in a nice timely manner and really as well cooked as I've ever had both dishes. Very sweet staff.... great food. Place should be packed all the time. Highly recommend! read more

AC was turned off and it was too hot inside... Food and service was mediocre. This place needs to start putting out better food and improve service .. read more

Wonderful, flavorful, authentic Thai food. We eat dinner here a couple times a week, and really love the place and the great waitstaff. I lived in Bangkok for 4 years, and this is certainly the most authentic, bracing thai food I've found in DFW. What sets Zense apart is the fact that the food doesn't have all the extra sugar that most Thai restaurants in the U.S.add. I truly love these these pure favors without the dulling effect of all the extra sugar. Zense isn't for everyone, but I hope they don't water down their offerings to Americanize their offerings. read more

This place is absolutely amazing the way it is designed is so cool. I wish I could get it everyday even the wait time which is always 15 minutes every time! The staff are incredible and make the food exactly how I want it with nothing else. This what i expect takeout to be. read more

One of the best in DFW if not the best. The Pad Thai and Pad Kee Mow are excellent and the curries are the best I've had in the part of the country. The green curry in particular was excellent.. Service a bit slow but friendly and concerned. read more

The food here was really good but the service was HORRIBLE! My sister and I went here for lunch and it took them 35 minutes to get us our food. I get that it was a little busier than usual but we only had time to eat half and had to wrap the rest and go back to work. I don't think I'd give them another chance... read more

Excellent Excellent Thai food! If you want authentic Thai cuisine, this is a most. Whether its the Panang, Beef Salad, Fried rice or Pad Thai, you can't go wrong. read more

Crabby fried rice is the best. Liked the basil fried rice too. You have to wait a while after you place the order, but worth it.

I am giving this restaurant 1 star because the customer experience for me and my coworker was simply unacceptable. We went for lunch on a Friday after 1pm. There was a table in the middle with maybe 10 or 12 people and a couple of other people sitting around. We figured that we would be in and out in a reasonable amount of time. WRONG...After about 20 minutes of waiting after our order we began asking when our food would be out. We also noticed that some of the people at the larger table were still waiting for their meals to come out. About half those people had food and half didn't. The waitress continued to bring out other people's appetizers and we and the other people at the larger table continued to wait. My red curry finally came out at about 40 minutes of waiting and the waitress said that my coworker's pad thai was right behind it. Well...that wasn't true. When my coworker told the waitress to forget about the order at this point, the waitress became angry about it and yelled something to the grandmothers who were in the kitchen cooking. She yelled back across the room to my coworker that it's already cooked and about to come out. My coworker was really angry and said no, I no longer want it. The waitress brought the check over and offered no apologies but had much attitude. Apparently there were only two cooks in the kitchen. However, that's no excuse for the extra long wait time or the bad attitude with which we received service. I will assume this was a bad day but it's enough of a turn off that we won't be back. read more

Its a small place. Food taste is ok. Not much variety. Good to skip. not a must visit place

This is my favorite Thai restaurant in all of DFW. I live close by and I eat here about 2-3 a week. The family owned business is friendly and provide quality and delicious food each time I've come for the last 4 years. Vegetable Delight w shrimp, Pad Thai Chicken and chicken w basil are my top favorites. And when in season love the sticky rice w Mango. read more

This is always a must stop when I travel back to DFW! Went at least once a week for 7+ years before moving to Seattle. Food and service are wonderful! The owner and her family really go the extra mile. Food is made fresh upon order, so you may have a bit of a wait, but ALWAYS well worth it! read more

Best Thai food I've ever had and there is not a close second. It takes a little while to get your food because it is made from scratch. The aroma of the curry dishes just sitting in front of you is amazing. It's hard for me to list a favorite because everything is fantastic. Try the pineapple curry or the green curry. read more

This is the best Thai food in the Dallas area! The staff and chefs are wonderful and friendly, and the food is outstanding. The Pad Kee Mao is perfect. I love their take on Pad Thai, the curries are delicious, and the appetizers and desserts are really nice. Even our kids love it! Note: this is not fast food, so make sure to plan for the little bit of extra time it takes to custom prepare your food. read more

Plan, take the kids for lunch with dad on his work lunch break. Drove 35 minutes. My husband placed our order: appetizers: spring rolls and summer rolls, 1 pad see mow and 3 pad see iew with chicken. The waitress obviously had a language barrier. Kept saying 1. My husband said no.. 1 order of spring rolls and 1 order of summer rolls. Then repeated our order 1 pad see mow and 3 pad see iew with chicken. Another waitress comes over; says something to the other then says chicken or shrimp for summer roll, we say shrimp. Then we are asked how hot we want our food. My husband says hot for his Pad kee mow for the other orders low. Waitress 1 and 2 talk discuss our order then waitress 2 says it comes in order of heat 1 to 3; 1 being low. My husband says, mine a 3 and the others a 1. The waitress 1 reads the order: summer roll, pad kee mow and pad see iew. My husband says 3 pad see iews (we hold up 3 fingers) and the summer rolls; She says okay. I ask waitress number 2 for water for us all. The water comes out. 30 minutes later the appetizer comes out...summer rolls. My husband asks about the spring rolls..they come out 10 min later. The appetizers were very good; so we figure the food must be as well. 15 min later the pad kee mow comes out; then one order of the pad see iew comes out. My husband asks where are the other 2 orders of pad see iew. The waitress says we only ordered one. We tell her no; we ordered 3 pad see iew with chicken; she says one then walks away. Now we have been at the restaurant for 1 hour. My husband has a meeting starting soon. My husband asks when will the other orders come out to waitress number 2; she says no you only order 1. No we ordered 3 orders of pad see iew with chicken with level 1 heat. Waitress 2 says no you only order 1; I hear 1. We ask for our orders. She says you have to wait until the 3 orders are filled then yours after that then 10 minutes. She proceeds to argue with us; we tell her that the customer is always right and how wrong we are being treated. We've already been waiting for an hour for food now we have to wait more. Four people do not come in to order two small plates of food; she says it happens. We wasted well over an hour! We need to leave they want to charge us. Its not right; to drive 35 minutes across town; wait 1 hour + for food, then knowing you need to drive back across town with hungry kids. Then treated badly for their mistake. Ask for the check to be free. They say no. Ask for discount; due to yes we ate the appetizers, yes my husband woofed down his order quickly cause he had a meeting to get back to at work; but my kids did not eat a meal and neither did I. I said it was wrong and such BS to argue with a customer; the customer is right. They were wrong. Waitress called us Rude and to never to return. Requested discount; owner says "no free". They offer 20% discount; I said no 30%; she says "you husband pay" I said 30%. Got the 30% off. Said something mean in her language kept calling us rude and never return. so I spoke Spanish to her I told her we would not return she had no worries of that my kids need to eat. It's unfortunate but we drove all the way back across town to our delicious place Samui Thai where we get food and are treated well. Never return to Zense. Ever! . Not a good place to go when just on a work lunch break. I only give two stars for the appetizers were good; would have given higher but failure to bring correct order, Slow Service, with subpar customer service. read more

I ordered summer rolls on the phone to go while I stood outside with my dogs. They told me 15 minutes, which is quite long for summer rolls or any appetizer. I said that's fine and waited. 30 mins later no summer rolls. Wow. read more

The worst Food one can have,,, we have to leave the food as it is and get it from somewhere else. The food had bad smell in it and the rice were very dry and soup had only water in it. Will rather sleep hungry than eating at this place.. read more

i love going here. the servers are really nice and the portions are AWESOME. they even have roti which i sometimes have a hard time finding in irving. i usually get the mild chicken panang with rice and roti and a glass of young coconut. its PERFECT! this place is perfect, hardly ever busy. i just hope that they stay around forever! read more

food is not that bad but portion was very small compared to other thai restaurants

Started with steamed dumpling, Tom Yum soup with shrimp. My all time favorite dish is Pad Thai. Coconut ice cream is a MUST. Nice ambient and friendly service. read more

I love pad see ew. The one here tastes pretty good but it has soy beans in them which I'm not used to. So that throws the flavor off for me a little bit. The place is pretty basic, and the staff members are so kind! I haven't tried their other dishes yet, but my friends had their curry and said it was delicious. read more

Thai food at its finest. What sets Zense apart is the freshness of the seasonings and sauces in which you can taste the fresh tamarind and lemongrass. Every dish is fragrant and beautifully presented in a calm and minimally decorated interior. Every dish is high quality. The most authentic versions of your favorite Thai dishes are served with an unexpected touch of wild black and red rice. Be sure to order the lovely chrysanthemum tea, especially on those hot Texan summer days. read more

Dining experience is great, the decor, the food, staff are all a decent concoction for the price

Decent food. Horrible service. Too many other good Thai restaurants to have to deal with bad service. Try Blu Ginger on MacArthur on the other side of 635, just 5 minutes away. Great food, gracious service. read more

Authentic Thai food. taste is good. but the quantity they give for the price they charge not at all worth. very very expensive. you can get better taste and better quantity for less on the same MacArthur blvd, a number of Thai restaurants are there in N MacArthur and also a little further on belt line where you can get a better deal. The staff is also not good in receiving.. not a great atmosphere as well. I give a 2 star only to the taste but nothing else. read more

Great food, great service. Summer rolls are delicious, just the right amount of spice on the entrees. Definitely plan on coming whenever I am in town. read more

This place is terrible. Dont know how it stays open. Tried it several times, hoping I had just got unlucky. Must be pumping their own reviews. read more

We usually get the spicy chicken basil fried rice. They will make it spicy for for if you want so make sure you can handle it. I wish the the portion size was bigger. In the Irving area this is our go to Thai spot. The egg rolls is just avg. so I would not recommend. Overall, if your in the Las Colinas area this this worth your time and money. read more

Amazing food!!! The chef's specials are sooo good!! Calamari was yummy too! I only give 4 stars cuz the service left a lot to be desired. The waitress's friends were in the restaurant and they were trying on shoes and she kept forgetting that there were people in the restaurant to you know... Give food to...take orders from you know the typical stuff that waitresses do. read more

Great modern Thai cuisine. I am in Dallas from Oklahoma and came across Zense while driving around. Nice interior, with an upscale look. The staff was friendly and service was quick. I had the Tom Yum, delicious, and the Panang Curry. The dishes come out well presented and have great flavor. I like the unique menu and will return before heading home! If you like desserts, the Roti is a good choice....it's a dense, sweet, pancake like treat. read more

I like the food here. I have always tested vegetarian food though. But the major problem I face is they always charge $2 to $4 more than what is put on the charge slip (even though you have added tip). Initially I thought it might be one off case. But it happened almost every time (4 to 5 times till now). So be careful. read more

Good food, but the portions are small for the price they charge for the entrees. Forget the quantity of the the soups!

I came here with a friend and I order chicken curry, it tast really bad and my friend order lad na but didn't look like lad na to me.i think I would not come back again. read more

Excellent casual Thai restaurant. Food quality is awesome. Staff makes you feel comfortable. We tried Fish cakes , pepper beef and Cashew Spicy Chicken. I told them to really make it spicy..... so it was. I still have the taste for it. People complain about wait but they cook fresh so it is worth the wait. Love it. read more

It is so hard to write a bad review when the food was delicious, but it took an hour and 16 minutes to get it. For a restaurant with about 20 seats and 3 people in the kitchen, it was just too ridiculous. The food was absolutely outstanding though. Or I was delirious from hunger. ;) 1 for service/speed, 5 for flavor. read more
