Classic Thai flavors & exotic decor highlight this modern eatery, which also features a bar & patio.
We sat outside on a rainy day because we had our pup. Thankfully, the patio is covered. The staff was very accommodating. We had just flown into town, and we're hungry. Alex, the waiter, was very personable and provided great service. We ordered the drunken noodle with tofu lunch special, dumplings, sesame chicken, coconut soup, and chicken satay. All items were freshly prepared and delicious. When we come back to Houston, we will eat here again!
I visited this spot for a date night, and it exceeded my expectations. The waitress was friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the start. The ambiance was chill and relaxing, which was just what I needed after a long week. I ordered the short ribs, the Lychee Mule, and the beef satay. While I'm not typically a fan of Thai food, I'm so glad I gave it a try here because everything was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!
Last minute eatery and found this place. The food was ok, I can't say it was the best thai food I've had. To me, it lacked a bit of flavor. I was a bit disappointed with where we got seated. Although I made reservations and did not specify that I wanted outside seating, we got escorted to an outside table on a HOT Houston day. Can't say I enjoyed the dinner because I was more concerned about wiping sweat off my face and getting a fan for some air to cool off. We tried the shrimp and chicken pad thai, and it needed more sauce, a bit on the dryer side for my taste. That was just my experience. Don't let the review keep you from trying it.
Excellent service, good food and great ambience!
Went here for dinner, made a prior reservation. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The ambience is nice.
I tried the Elderflower drink- it was nice. We tried their chicken wings, cashew chicken, massaman curry and Drunken noodles. The food was delicious. The quantity is good.
Definitely going back.
Came here for a dinner on a Friday night. It's charming Thai restaurant in an nice Uptown area close by the Galleria. The food is delicious and tasty. Mussels in Red curry really got me clean up the plate. Short rib, Pad Thai, and Pad See Yew are all great and worth to try out. Definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone love Thai cuisine.
This was my first time trying Thai food. This place made the experience worth while. The food was delicious the servers were kind, and the restaurant was decorated very well. The atmosphere gave an authentic feel of the culture. I will definitely be back to try other items on the menu.
Excellent restaurant. Bam bam shrimp were breath taking. Great option for dinner
Way overpriced for the quality!
Great food, service and place for lunch and probably dinner.
First time here and food was amazing!! Love the ambiance. Kevin was our waiter gave us an awesome recommendation which were the meatballs. He definitely made our experience even better.
Service is too slow. Especially at the bar.
Love their food
Tasty Thai Food and great location and atmosphere. Service was not as good recently as we have previously seen.

I ordered to go and opened the bag and it smelled like rotten cheese do not order from here
i almost threw up
Do not eat here!!!!!!!!!!!
Visited the restaurant after a long while. We bought my out of town family members to enjoy a meal together. Special shout out to our waiter, Alex. I can’t remember the last time I had a great waiter like him. Alex was genuine, experienced and went above on beyond to make sure our needs were met and that we had the best experience possible. The food was flavorful and delicious.

I am living in Germany and I go to Songkran whenever I am in Houston. This is clealy the best Thai cuisine outside of Thailand. My favorite dishes are the heavenly beef and the soft shell crab - a must-have for anyone who loves good food. And you should not miss the lychee martini.
Food serving size can be a bit larger! Taste is good overall!
Good food and great service!
Must visit
Pad Thai was 😍
Loved the ambience
I went today for my lunch, the server (a man) was rude and unpleasant, i often come to this restaurant that usually deliver good service except today, hope it will not happen again
Kevin, our waiter was the best part of this experience. We ordered beef, satay, drunken noodles and lemongrass soup. The beef sauté was tender and cooked to perfection. The meat and noodles and the junk noodle were overcooked. I couldn’t even use my knife to cut through the meat, the lemon grass soup lacked lemon grass overall the food la Thai tradition and felt very bougie and fake.
I have eaten here many times. I always enjoy the atmosphere, service and food. The only disappointment is the dumplings. They are too much dough and very little meat. It’s tough rather than tender.
Cole (Coco) was amazing and the food was so delicious. And make sure to go on Monday and get 5 dollar martinis!!!
This place deserves better than a 4.5. It's not Thai street for those saying lacking flavor and overpriced. Their food is excellent and staff is always nice and accommodating.
The food wasn't that great. Ordered beef satay and told the waiter that I'm pregnant and the beef needs to be cooked well done with no pink. The beef came to the table and it was bright red on the inside I had to spit it out. Honestly made me question if the chicken was cooked enough because the food came out super fast.
The first time I had the pad Thai, it was good If you order the Khao Soi, get extra noodles on the side because the curry is SO good, you'll want more noodles than it comes with and there's always extra curry! be prepared to stand in line during peak lunch/dinner hours.
Good drunken noodles and shrimp. Wasn’t crowded at all and they have excellent specials on weekdays. The other dishes we had looked yummy too.
Another great meal with the BEST Thai food I have found in Houston! Great and friendly service, and great wine selection, too! They are very authentic in their flavors and style, and you will feel like you're back in Khao San road in Bangkok. They have great traditional dishes but also have some fusion. They are also willing to cook a little off the menu if you have an old favorite that doesn't appear.
Great beef appetizer Nuer Sawan, and although calamari in general is a little ubiquitous, their preparation is great.
I like to get Pad Thai as a standard way to evaluate a thai restaurant cooking style since it is often over-cooked, or bland, or just not authentic. They do it perfectly. Also their Curry dishes are excellent, as is their Pad Si-ew. That's about as varied as I get there since those are all excellent that I usually get one of those. But all of the friends or dates that I've brought have loved other dishes that they've tried.
The food at Songkran Restaurant was disappointing. The calamari arrived cold and tasted as if it had been prepared well in advance, lacking flavor. The stir-fry chicken was unremarkable, with a texture that suggested it had been boiled rather than stir-fried. The drinks were also subpar; the espresso martini was watery and lacked the robust coffee flavor expected, requiring an added shot of Bailey’s to improve the taste. Overall, the experience did not justify the cost.
WE LOVE THIS PLACE! The food hear is top teir for sure! The vibe is nice, we love that they have outdoor dining too that is pet friendly. They have a great 1/2 off wine bottle special on Wednsday's that's great too! We highly recommend the Red Fish, the presentation is EXCELLENT. The cocunut green curry here is also grea.
The food is great here, but the service is always slow and sometimes even neglectful.
Really good Thai. Highly recommend. The place is a little small but great food and strong service
Some of the most amazing food you will ever have. Wagyu beef short ribs are amazing. Flat iron steak was amazing.
Alex was the best server! Recommend great options and gave the best service. Made our dining experience! Food was also delicious.
They are occupying a spot at an elite location and its a shame their food isn’t that great. Chinese food at the mall food court tastes better than this place and even that food is unbearable for me. Go to Son Boom Thai in the heights. Great food there!!
5th time in years always love the place atmosphere and food and service always awesome 👏
Love this place! Great food, great vibes.
The place looked great. The server took a while to bring us chili oil, and it didn't seem it was freshly made. The food was so so. There was nothing unbelievable to call mom about, but it was better than average. My pad kee mao was barely seasoned (ie. salt/spice level) - I'm guessing spice levels have been toned to everything being gentrified.
Great! Loved it! Alex was amazing!
Great food and service overall. Nice casual vibe both indoor and outdoor. Portions are a bit on the smaller side but quality of the food makes the difference. Curry's are on point and worth trying, just be mindful of the spice level you select.
One of the best Thai places for lunch. Duck curry is a special one!
Came here for a TimeLeft dinner. I had the yellow curry and it was really good. The service was really great. The waiter was attentive, kind, and gave great recommendations.
Listen, this place will not disappoint! Great food, excellent libations and impeccable service. We’ve always enjoyed our server, Alex, and can’t wait to go back, he’s awesome!
Delicious
Alex was an excellent server! The food here is always excellent. The Bangkok fish is my favorite dish!

We had the most amazing evening with Alex. His gracious hospitality made our experience one to remember. The food is absolutely delicious, and the wine selection is fantastic. Highly recommend this restaurant.
Wonderful service from our server Alex. Would recommend for the great food and speedy service. Also for the espresso martinis!
Had bad happy hour experience last night, we went for happy hour, half of sitting bar was empty with reservations sign, they said people call for reservations at the bar!!!
We never heard in any restaurants to make rsv at a bar
They want you to come during happy hour have table, this way the chance are to order food. We were not planning to have early dinner around 6, we went for a drink and leave,
To the owner, better to cancel big happy hour sing plan,
Do not have happy hour option with empty chairs at the bar,
One of my favorite restaurants in Houston. Great atmosphere, excellent food and wonderful service. Great food and drinks.
Great place definitely recommend
Food was average.
Absolutely phenomenal experience at this lovely Thai restaurant! Beautiful ambiance—warm, inviting, and perfectly decorated to create an authentic Thai atmosphere. The food is nothing short of incredible; each dish is bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors that transports you straight to Thailand. The attention to detail in the presentation and the balance of spices in every bite were simply outstanding. Their Leeche Martini is a must try !
The service was equally fantastic—friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food they were serving. Our server took the time to explain the menu, offer recommendations, and make sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal to the fullest.
This place is an absolute gem and has quickly become our favorite spot for Thai cuisine. Highly recommended to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience! The owner is extremely gracious and went out of his way to accommodate our group .
Service and atmosphere was great food not so much.
food has great flavor, But presentation needs work. the abundance of chips with the ceviché felt generous in a good way. service was spotty but apologetic. hostess seemed hostile. the stalls in the bathroom are very exposed
yum!
Melissa provided great and quick service. The food ( Pad Si Ew) and portions are always great!
loved it.. enjoyed that green curry tofu appetizer
Great service, very friendly staff's and great food .
Is the best Tahi Restaurant in Houston,
Food is sooooo yummy!!!
Alex was so helpful with the menu and his service was excellent
Best Pad Thai in Houston

Mussels in Red curry really got me clean up the plate. Short rib, Pad Thai, and Pad See Yew are all great and worth to try out. Definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone love Thai cuisine.
I've been here many times for takeout and lunch, friendly service, curry is really good as well as the vegetable spring rolls and the noodles; sit inside, the outdoor sitting area is unbearably hot. Parking on site.
Portions are tiny. They handled a situation with my table completely wrong in which I was charged for my servers mistake.
Nat was AMAZING! All of it was. The tofu?! Omg. To die for. Happy hour is super reasonable with FANTASTIC options!
I fed my boy and myself with “appetizers”! Crispy tofu (to die), spring rolls, veggie potstickers, 2 lychee martinis (uhmazing) and a Shirley temple: $30 y’all.
Love love LOVE their food! It’s the perfect level of heat that you request and you can tell that their meats and other ingredients are high quality. Everyone there is super friendly and helpful as well.
Love their lunch menu, I always get the yellow thai curry with tofu.
Good food and able to customize as needed
Overall very positive
This was my first time trying Thai food. This place made the experience worth while. The food was delicious the servers were kind, and the restaurant was decorated very well. The atmosphere gave an authentic feel of the culture. I will definitely be back to try other items on the menu.
Delicious Thai food & elegant atmosphere!
The food here is absolutely incredible. Hands down the best Thai food in Houston.
When we first moved to Houston, we went to 20+ Thai places trying to find a good one until we found Songkran. If we can't have Songkran, then we don't have Thai food. It's that good.
We came here to have lunch with my friends and this was my first time to try this "fancy" Thai restaurant. I ordered Heavenly Beef "Nuea Sawan" from their lunch menu. It served with vegetable soup, house salad and Jasmine rice. The soup was good and tasty. I liked the salad mainly because it has a delicious dressing. The entrée was nothing special. Nothing fancy at all. It was a sad plating to be honest. My friends had Wok Cashew Chicken which for me was nothing special too, and the other one was Clay Pot Red Curry Duck. The curry was good, very coconuty taste and I like that it has a lot of vegetables in it. For dessert we had White Chocolate Bread Pudding topped with Coffee Ice Cream which was good. The pudding came warm, we liked it. Lunch Menu foods can improve more and can be more appetizing, and they deserve nice plating as well.
Wonderful experience today with Alex as our server. Visited for a working lunch and this is a favourite location due to ease of booking, parking and the food is always consistently delicious. Lots of gf and veg options for everyone to enjoy. Thank you Alex for your service 🌈
The ambiance is amazing..Kaylie served us with Greatness!!!
I went with my mom today for mother’s day and we absolutely loved the food and service. Our waitress was Nisa and she was the absolute sweetest!!! Thank you Nisa for taking our photos and being so kind to us. We got drunken noodles with shrimp (spicy) and the pad thai with chicken (normal) and it was absolutely delicious!! Will be coming back more often 😁
I very rarely write any kind of reviews because I had been in the industry for as long as I can remember. I felt like I really need to say something this time though.
Made a reservation for my daughter and myself and we showed up and she said to sit outside so we did and we sat outside for 15 minutes before I said enough is enough so we walked inside and I told the two girls that I wanted to sit somewhere inside because we had not been greeted for 15 minutes so we sat inside then it took another 10 to 15 minutes for us to get greeted inside. I ordered a drink and she ordered a drink. I saw probably about five people walk by that Martini sitting on the bar before I finally stopped one of the waitresses and said, “can you go pick up that martini that you just walked right by? “
Ordered our food. Things went fine from there and then we ordered some thing at the very end and it did not come out for the whole remainder of the meal
it was, however, on my bill. I asked for it to be removed and I was told it was on the bill because it was ordered later. I’ll be very honest and I have had appetizers and pad Thai noodles in between the order.
I was literally left out of everything and totally forgotten. So disappointed.
This is an amazing place. Very nice food, good service and great atmosphere. The prices are very reasonable.
Absolutely amazing
Loved the food and drinks
The place is beautiful, the food is not that expensive for the location.
Good tasting food and friendly service.
Alexander is the best!!!! The food never fails and the service is great!
Alex was amazing and the food was awesome!
Excellent service, good food and great ambience!
Went here for dinner, made a prior reservation. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The ambience is nice.
I tried the Elderflower drink- it was nice. We tried their chicken wings, cashew chicken, massaman curry and Drunken noodles. The food was delicious. The quantity is good.
Definitely going back.
The bomb!
Always heard of this restaurant but never been. I've been to Thailand and I'm not sure they serve 100% authentic dishes here.
I wanted something light and on the healthier side. Ordered the crispy duck salad and it was pretty good. Rating: 4.5/5
My friend liked the entree and dessert she ordered.
Service was very good. Our waiter checked on us multiple times. She was polite, warm, and professional.
The atmosphere is nice. Uniquely decorated with a upscale vibe. There's also a bar with seating and outdoor seating.
I'll have to come back and try more dishes.
Fantastic Thai food with an exciting play on modern flavors in a great indoor/out
setting.
The best Drunken Noodles have had anywhere! Service is great. Wait staff is friendly but not intrusive.
Best Thai in Houston
Food was very yummy. Red Curry was good
Came here with a friend and got yellow curry and pad Thai. The food was well seasoned, fresh, and very tasty. We also got drinks (can’t remember the names but mine had mango and passion fruit) and were impressed with the flavor of each. The food may have been slightly overpriced, but the atmosphere really makes the experience so I definitely recommend coming here.
Can’t say much about restaurant as I had it delivered, but the food wasn’t worth the price. Skip the heavenly beef, far from heavenly especially considering the price.
Omg I love it here! Cindy was amazing 🤩 the place was very clean and professional. I will definitely be back
Great experience. Great food. Excellent service.
Songkran catered the food for a party of 50 we recently hosted and it was outstanding! The dishes all held up great in transport and the flavor was excellent! Everyone at the event commented on the quality and flavor of the food. The management and team were extremely helpful.
Very nice!!
Food temp was great. Appetizer hot and main courses hot. Food taste was good as well. We will return because of this.
Issue was it took an exceptionally long time for our mains to come out then my order wasnt the correct protein. I said dont worry about it exchanging it because i didn't want to wait even longer.
The waiter did comp my entree. I appreciate that but wasnt necessary. I dont voice concern to get free stuff. Like i said it was hot and still good.
Overall I will return but I hope i don't have the same extended wait for my food.
Ill add that the manager apologized before we left for the wait saying the kitchen backed up. My issue with that was 2 other groups of 2 tops got their entrees b4 we did even tho we got there and placed our orders before them. The focus seemed to be on togo orders.
Service, Food and Drinks are great! Third time here and it never disappoints. The ceviche is amazing and the wagyu short ribs is super tender and melts in your mouth!!
Shoutout to David the bartender/waiter, he was extremely kind, professional, and he took such good care of my friend and I for her belated birthday dinner that he made us think it was secretly his business because of how well he did his job and seemed invested in the customer experience. Also — made the literal best espresso martini I’ve ever had 100% recommend.
She had the pad Thai and I had the basil fried rice with chicken and they were so good! Highly recommend
Excellent food, great service and good ambience.
I thoroughly enjoyed the evening with my friends at this fantastic venue. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was delightful.
The food was OK. I've had better Thai food. There is nothing wrong with the food, but nothing special.
The portions are big and hearty. The service was impeccable too.
brian our server was great!
i have a gluten and shellfish allergy and he was very knowledgeable about the options i had!
he also made great suggestions for my date to have the prime rib.
don’t pass up on the pad thai too!!
thanks brian for enhancing our experience :)
Brayan, great service!👍🏻
SongKran was fantastic top to bottom! Great service. Our food was out in no time. Really good selection of Sake. I’d recommend the Black and gold. The fried calamari, heavenly beef, and red snapper were all delicious. I tried a couple bites of other dishes and I didn’t try anything I disliked. I found each dish had a unique sauce to go with it that was really enjoyable. Highly recommend and I’ll be back!
We’ve been here few times and can’t believe how consistent everything is food service atmosphere excellent, Joel Rodrigo Was our server he is the best
Great atmosphere and service! Brian was very attentive.
Alex is Awesome
Food was delicious and staff was very attentive.
My fav Thai place in Houston!!
Thoroughly impressed by both the exquisite food and impeccable service. We had a variety of innovative dishes blending bold flavors and beautiful presentation So delicious and savory!
Ordered the yellow curry (the only curry without fish sauce, appreciate the server letting me know this when I placed the order). Options were vegetables, tofu, or meat. I chose vegetables. It came with potatoes and tofu - not a single other vegetable in it, not even a piece of onion. First time I have had potatoes in a Thai curry. Would not go back again, doesn't look like a good place for vegetarians. My colleague chose the drunken noodles with beef and seemed to really enjoy it.
We had a fantastic first experience at Songkran. The photo was delicious- spicy and flavorful. The server was attentive without being intrusive. It was an excellent experience.
I ordered the Panang Curry with beef short ribs. I got my spice level 3 out of 4 and it was wonderful. The beef short ribs were cooked to perfection and were incredibly tender and went with the Panang Curry wonderfully. It was still lunch at this time and I sat at the bar, and it came with a vegetable soup and salad. The service was very friendly and quick. I am a long time (4 decades) fan of Thai cuisine, and I will happily comeback to this restaurant with family and friends and try other dishes.
Ate at the bar.
Delicious Food
Excellent service
On a $5 margarita Tuesday (nice deal) we enjoyed our Pla Tod (crispy whole red snapper) with its unique presentation, though ordering the sauce on the side (instead of how it's presented) keeps it from overwhelming the more delicate nature of the fish. Better still was Songkran's tasty Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles), its basil, hot chilies and soft, wide noodles perfectly melding into seconds-worthy Thai comfort food.
