Ordered to go for valentine’s dinner. Food was ready in 20 minutes. We ordered chicken pad Thai, cashew chicken and pineapple fried rice. Everything tasted very good except for Pineapple fried rice which had a bit too strong curry flavor. Quantity portion was generous so I would say good value for the money. We ordered medium spice level which was fine. We got some spices on the side.
We will definitely be back for a dine in experience.

From someone who used to live in Thailand: If you’re looking for authentic Thai food, I would highly recommend Thai Chefs. The kitchen is run and operated by a sweet Thai couple.

I’ve been coming here ever since I moved to Katy area many years ago. Thai chefs is my go-to after coming home from a months long trip. Their food has been consistently excellent after numerous visits over the years.

Flavorful and consistently great food made with fresh tasting ingredients.
We like the small portion of soup and egg roll added with the lunch menu option.
Coconut ice cream with fried banana is addictively yum!

Diner Review №17

Service at this establishment is always great as far as the servers but owner is stingy with ingredients. I was denied extra fried onions I asked to pay for extra fried onion to go cup and was told by the owner if I wanted to buy a whole bag instead of a small to go cup.

Only reason I ask for extra onions is because the food lacks flavor sometimes.

Won’t be back for a while after being a loyal customer for years.

We ordered the pad Thai and pad kee mao. Great flavor compared to a place in Katy Asian Town. Not to oily and the pad kee mao noodles had that nice wok char. Pad Thai was visually appealing and along with the flavor, made the experience amazing. Wholeheartedly recommend.

Diner Review №24

The best Thai food I’ve had in the Houston area. Very flavorful, Decent portions, and right priced.

Diner Review №25

Anybody that doesn’t give this place 5 stars is lying to themselves. I eat Thai food all around the world, a thousand+ different places. No one does it better than this small restaurant Houston was blessed with. Eat here as many times as you can before you die.

Diner Review №26

This food was fabulous! Definitely will return.

Diner Review №27

Wish they have bilingual servers because is hard to understand the menu even with pictures they are not explicitly but the food is great 😸👍

Diner Review №28

AMAZING. I’m salivating writing this I’ve been 20+ times here and ordered the Red/Yellow/Green Curry and their Pad Thai and it has never disappointed!! Their portions are just right and their lunch specials are great deals!! Shout out to Bird & Melanie (sorry if I spelled their name wrong) the best servers a family could ask for. Spent many celebrations here - will always come back. You have a customer for life and recommend this place to anyone who will listen. Thank you!!

Diner Review №29

In my honest opinion, Thai Chefs is hands down the best Thai restaurant in the city. The vegetable soup is rich and aromatic, with fresh vegetables(you can also add a protein for an additional cost). The chicken satay was perfectly seasoned and tender, served with a delicious peanut sauce. The red curry was creamy, spicy, and bursting with authentic flavors. Highly recommended!

Diner Review №30

I don’t like the desserts offered in Cypress, so when I’m craving something sweet I come to this place to eat this amazing sticky rice custard.
This is the only Thai restaurant that offers it in the area and it’s very well prepared!

Diner Review №31

This is a fantastic Thai restaurant that isn’t overly expensive like many of them have become. Only downside is getting into the parking lot if you’re coming from the south side of Barker Cypress.

Diner Review №32

Great neighborhood restaurant. One of my favorites is the veggie soup. Many items are vegan or vegetarian friendly. The yellow curry is a must try!! I also appreciate that they have brown rice.
The service is a high point, as well. Many times, it is held down by only 1 person! Please remember to tip well!!
The Thai food is very authentic. After traveling to Thailand, I can say that the flavors are spot on with those we had in Thailand!
This is a neighborhood gem, plus it's good to support a small family run business.

Very good pad thai and spring rolls for lunch. Service was excellent.

Diner Review №43

We ordered take out and it was ready almost exactly when I walked in during dinner hours. I had a change to my order and it wasn’t an issue at all. They CRAM your takeout tupperware with the food. My wife and I couldn’t finish everything. And it was freaking amazing! I can’t say enough about this place. It impressed my work colleagues last week and now my wife. 5 stars is in anyone’s book.

Diner Review №54

Diner Review №55

Arrived to pick my food and had to spend more time waiting for my food because the gave my food to someone else. The service and the people that work are the worst. Don't come to this place.

Diner Review №56

September 2023 update: the food is still excellent. I love the Pad See Ew .The service is always excellent. The food is always fresh.

First of all my alteration lady told me about this place (Susie Tailor's on 529)... she was spot on. The Pad Thai was excellent; just enough sweet, spicy and savory. We had vegetable pad thai, a shrimp pad thai, something with garlic and ginger.. rice of course. Everything was tasty. Would we good back. Yes, we already went back!!!

Diner Review №57

Diner Review №58

Cheese rolls and fried tofu starters are really good. Basil Fried rice is excellent! Go Thai hot level!

Diner Review №59

This is a feel good restaurant , the best part in this restaurant is that we get vegetarian soup with veg broth, being a vegetarian I didn’t find this in any Thai restaurant every where it is with fish broth even though it is vegetable soup….

Diner Review №60

Really good Thai food but service is about average.

Diner Review №61

Shrimp Padtai and Domyam soup was delicious.

Diner Review №62

Diner Review №63

Top-caliber Thai food better than most anything you could get even in Thailand. Staff were pretty awesome.

Serving sizes are quite generous, though the prices are a bit more than I’d hoped ($9.95 for an order of fried rice).

I do wish they had more dishes from the Isan region of northeastern Thailand, like some spicy ลาบหมูอีสาน with the roasted rice in it. Maybe in the future?

Please try the sho she

Absolutely love it !!!! Yellow curry is my favorite with no.2 level of spicy, just so you know their food can get really spicy so careful on choosing the level of spiciness

Excelente servicio y la comida deliciosa !!!

Diner Review №71

Small restaurant but really good food, authentic thai taste.

Diner Review №72

Diner Review №73

Awesome service. Food is tasty.

Diner Review №74

I guess I'm not impressed by them this time around. And you'll get a disservice if you end up going to the place 40 mins before the closing time. They might as well just lock the doors and not let anyone else enter or change their working hours to not be 9pm. At least the food was still good.

Diner Review №75

Best Thai food I've ever had. Really good flavors.

Diner Review №76

The best Thai restaurant in the area.

Diner Review №77

First time ordering and unfortunately, my last time. I ordered the chicken larb salad and fish cakes. The chicken larb salad was so salty I couldn’t eat it. And I’m a heavy salt user. The chunk of iceberg lettuce that accompanied it was brown and inedible. The fish cakes were tasty but they were the size of poker chips and for the price was a total rip. The photo on their website sure fooled me. Sorry Thai Chefs, but your kitchen was definitely “out to lunch” tonight.

Diner Review №78

Food is consistently great and the service is wonderful. Lady at the front register is always kind.

Diner Review №79

I have gone there’s several times and always have a good experience. Friendly waitstaff, great flavorful food and I love the mango sticky rice dessert (when available/in season). I’ve had the Pad Thai, Basil rice, and vegetable soup and all have been delicious. There’s limited parking in the front but additional parking in the back.

Diner Review №80

We had the pad kee mao beef and shrimp and pad thai chicken and beef, to drink i had their thai coffee. It was all delicious, if you are undecided wether to go spicy or not they have condiments on the table to adjust the flavor. The coffee was sweet and strong, everything very flavorful. I would come back.

Diner Review №81

Started off with the dumplings and fresh soft rolls, followed by red chicken curry and white rice accompanied by their Thai tea. Absolutely loved every bite, and will be back again!

Diner Review №82

Our go-to Thai restaurant in the Cypress area. Generous portions and always fresh.

Diner Review №83

Diner Review №84

Diner Review №85

Small portion for the amount paid. Rude service.

Diner Review №86

Excellent little hidden Thai restaurant. This a great out of the way place that can be easily missed because of the location and the fact that there is a much larger Vietnamese restaurant in the same strip mall. I came here with a friend for lunch and have become addicted to this place ever since. The food is always fresh and excellent, the servings the right size, and the prices are reasonable. There is never a problem with bad meat or non-fresh products, which is sometimes an issue with Asian places. I love this restaurant. The only knock I have is that the parking sucks, you usually have to park in the back and walk around the building, unless you get lucky and a spot is open in the front. But beyond the parking problems, the food at this place is amazing.

Diner Review №87

Nice place with good Thai food. Portion is large and server are polite. If the food is not hot spicy enough, they got few different hot pepper for you to add flavor!

Diner Review №88

This was our first time having Thai food and it was delicious! Wet hat the red curry and Padi Thai.

Diner Review №89

Our favourite local Thai restaurant. Our fave is the pineapple curry and Panang curry with extra veg. Many other great dishes.

Diner Review №90

The food price is better than other thai stores within Houston. The place was almost full when we went to eat. The service is very good, they observe their customers needs and immediately offer help (refill drink, offer to go box, etc).

Diner Review №91

Amazing experience. Great service and flavor. Not expensive at all!! I try something different every time, it never disappoints.

Diner Review №92

Where should I begin.. was looking for some Eggrolls and walked into this place. Same setting with an OPEN sink which is being UTILIZED for drinking water!!! Ugh. The Lady literally was standing at a sink (which looks like it should be a bathroom sink) place a pitcher in it, load the customers cups with ice; unfortunately I didn't see where she got it from, but let's just say there was no refrigerator there!!! Yuck
Okay food. Got my eggrolls and another appetizer; they were HOT and straight from a bag. Nothing was made fresh, not even the broccoli they serve was freshly cut but rather store bought! :(
Well maybe the rice is made there!
>>Will NOT return. Ooh BTW they give CANNED sodas so I'm quite sure that means NO refills.

Diner Review №93

yummy … the eggplant with basle sauce and beef is unbelievably yummy. Excellent place; low key and quaint.

Will be back for sure!

Diner Review №94

If i could give it a 4.5 stars, i definitely good. The only reason is the service is great, and the food is good compared to the price, however the fried rice wasnt fantastic, it was alright. 5 stars, because i feel bad giving 4.

First time having Thai food. Red curry was delicious and the flat rice noodles are officially my favorite noodles now.

Diner Review №100

it is delicious most of menus. Just wonder on the website said Satay and Fish Cake are serves 5 pcs each but we got only 4 pcs each. Just to let chef know and we are still love your foods.

Diner Review №101

Food was very good , red curry and Tom kha were closest to taste from Thailand .

Diner Review №102

Best coconut ice cream I have ever had in my life. I’ve tried numerous gelato + ice cream places and this random Thai place’s ice cream beats all of them.

Diner Review №103

Best Thai food I've had around Houston.

Diner Review №104

Great food..but dare to order via phone call no one answers the phone. Thank Thai Chef

Diner Review №105

Their pad thai is absolutely amazing!

Diner Review №106

Best Pad Thai around!

Diner Review №107

Love it.

One of the few Thai places that will give it to you Thai spicy.

Reasonably priced and good service. Seating is tight but worth it IMHO.

It's become my new go-to for Thai food

Diner Review №108

THIS IS THE BEST PLACE EVER. THEIR PAD THAI AND MANGO STICKY RICE WILL FOREVER HAVE ME IN A CHOKEHOLD. I WILL SINGLE HANDILY FUND THIS PLACE WITH MY BUSINESS. IF I DIDN’T HAVE FAT IN MY LIVER AND HAD MORE MONEY, I WOULD EAT HERE EVERY NIGHT OF THE WEEK (EXCEPT TUESDAYS BECAUSE THEY CLOSE AT 3).

Diner Review №109

A real hidden gem! The yellow curry is SO great! Pad see ew is really delicious, and their noodles are spot on. Quiet place, excellent service, very clean, nice decor. Not overbearing. Highly recommend!

Diner Review №119

Super good! Loved it

Diner Review №120

Terrible!!

Diner Review №121

Great little spot to get your Thai food fix. My wife and I aren’t from the area, but we were here during lunchtime and were looking for a restaurant to try. Since we both love Thai and this place had good reviews, we decided to give it a try. It definitely did not disappoint. We both had curry (Panang and red) on the spiciest level available. It was perfectly spiced (for our liking) and not overly done. Highly recommend!!!

Diner Review №122

first time here, food was decent especially for the area not many Asian restaurants in the area much less a specialty one like this Thai restaurant. thought service was a bit slow but saw only one waitress working, I guess understandable during this climate of short staffing but the woman could have been the owner who knows. cute restaurant but a bit small especially small parking lot

Diner Review №123

After hearing rave reviews about this place, we popped in for lunch. Food was good, but because we politely requested a table that wasn't inches from the bathroom, the lady waiting on us was rude the entire time.

Spilled water and ice on our food when refilling drinks, dropped silverware on the table, snapped at my husband that she'd "be with you in a minute" when he just went to get his own chopsticks from the front counter. Just rude in general.

So sit by the bathroom, or you'll pay for it for the remainder of your visit. 😥

Diner Review №124

Yum! Very cute and clean, love a small Thai restaurant. Service very good, food is obviously made to order and it is very yummy :) loved it

Diner Review №125

We always get take out here. It's our go to place for pad thai.

Diner Review №126

Been coming here since 2014! I love this gem, best Thai in Houston hands down!!

Diner Review №127

Diner Review №128

The blandest Pad Thai I’ve ever had. I fried an egg to go with my leftovers and it had more flavor than the whole dish.

Diner Review №129

Pretty good

Diner Review №130

Never disappoints, Awesome!

Diner Review №131

That was excellent. Been looking for Papaya salad for two years ... And got fish with Curry sauce. Tasty. Quick. Clean.

Came again. Had the eggplant and the glass noodle. Both good.

Diner Review №132

Very bad service , some lady with short hair was in charge of my table; she had a very bad attitude. Our food came in spicy after we told her not spicy. The second time the food came out it was burnt and we didn’t want it, after we told her she still proceed to charge us for the plate. Horrible service don't recommend coming here.

Diner Review №133

Diner Review №134

Me and my wife with little kid had decent food at this place. Food tasted okay. Paid the bill and left no tip as the service was not that gr8. The owner was behind us after we exited the door demanding for TIP. Very Rude and un-professional behavior. They never indicated that TIP is MANDATORY for two or more people ...Would NEVER EVER visit again. I wouldnt suggest going here. There are better places to go

Diner Review №135

First experience in this Thai restaurant and positive experience. The restaurant room is very well decorated.
Large choice of dishes with spicy option (from nothing to level 4). The food was really good..especially the home made coconut ice cream that is delicious. The Thai tea was also very pleasant.

Diner Review №136

I love this place! I would definitely recommend their curries!

Very small place. Only 1 server was there but was able to take good care of our table, friendly and respectful. Good food. Good prices.

Diner Review №143

First time trying Thai food and it was delicious! The vegetables tasted so fresh, and the flavor was great. The soup with coconut, delicious. Also that Thai coffee is strong! I would definitely go back and would recommend.

Good food. Good service. Nice portions. A bit pricey, but we went as a valentines treat, and it was lovely

Diner Review №148

Always delicious!! I can close my eyes point at something in the menu and enjoy it. Done it twice now. The place is small so no big parties.

Diner Review №149

I went there couple days ago when it was nice and cold out.
I ordered Tom Yum soup with level 3 spicy, and it was perfect!! All the flavors of soup, veggies and meat.. ahhh!! Yum!
I also ordered Thai shrimp fried rice, level 2 spicy and it was very flavorful as well. It was a perfect meal for a nice cold weather ..

Diner Review №150

Tight parking location, but their Pad Thai is delicious.

Diner Review №151

Great customer service

Diner Review №152

The Tom Kha soup is sooo delicious I can’t wait to have it again! Wonderful flavors, lots of chicken and mushrooms, parsley and green onions. The coconut milk and lime broth was outstanding! This will now be on my “comfort food” list!

Diner Review №167

The food here was delicious. Came here for dinner with 2 friends. For appetizers, we had dumplings and satay. We had the pad thai with shrimp, basil entree with chicken, & the pineapple curry. Every single thing was amazing. We will definitely be back

My girlfriend got the pad Thai and I got pad kee mao and we were both very happy with the taste and portion size. Quiet place, good service, and tasty food which came out probably less than five mins after ordering.

Diner Review №172

Reviews didn’t disappoint, super service and food was fantastic!! Would come again in a heart beat!!!

Diner Review №173

I used to come here a lot, and I loved their food. But as of recently they have been inconsistent and the quality of their dishes has taken a dive. I probably will just stop coming because there are better thai places in Houston

Diner Review №174

Ordered takeout and the pad thai was so dry with little seasoning.. quality not the same as eating in or just did not give their best

Diner Review №175

Has been always delicious and a gem! My significant other and I absolutely adore the pad Thai and crispy rolls, nothing bad on the menu! Hidden gem for sure! Always friendly and quick service as well!

Diner Review №176

Loved the food!! Absolutely recommend it.

Diner Review №177

Literally the best Thai food I’ve had, and I’ve had alot . Always taste homemade and fresh

Diner Review №178

Absolutely Delicious! Excellent service and charming, clean atmosphere. A Semi-Hidden gem. We will be back for sure.

Diner Review №179

The best Thai food I have ever had in Houston! Awesome service :)

Diner Review №180

The food is fantastic

Diner Review №181

I love their curry. This menu was on 10/2021.

Diner Review №182

Pad thais are okay, had better. But overall great service!

Diner Review №183

Diner Review №184

Diner Review №185

3 adults and 3 kids eating basic and partially unappetizing food cost $140…oh and they charged 18% gratuity without letting us know
I tip 20% so they lost out on a few bucks by being inhospitable and including it
Based strictly on food I would not go back
Service was par for Thai
Policy is just rude

Diner Review №186

Diner Review №187

I co worker told me about this place. It is so good and it has levels of spicy.

Diner Review №188

I DID REALLY LIKE IT THE FOOD IS SO GOOD AND THE THAI TEA IS SOOOO GOOD I DID REALLY LIKE IT

Diner Review №189

Best Thai food in Houston! Tre and Noi provide amazing service! We LOVE this place! Thanks Thai Chefs!!!!

Diner Review №190

Very good good with fresh chilies.

Diner Review №191

Really tasty!!!

Diner Review №192

Best Tom Yum soup served in a pot. I also enjoyed the Tiger Cry beef served thai hot, it will open your sinuses so drink lots of water.

Diner Review №193

I ordered the Massaman curry, mango sticky rice and pad Thai. The Massaman curry was very salty and difficult to finish. The pad Thai didn’t have a lot of flavor. The sticky rice with the mango and sticky rice was dry and crunchy and the condensed milk have separated making it an unpleasant experience. Maybe I caught them on a bad day but I was sadly disappointed with the quality of the food.

Diner Review №194

Very very good and spicy thaifood

Diner Review №195

Good Food!! Where was this place hiding?? Glad I found it!

Diner Review №196

The thai basil rice i get, was tasteless and very small for $15 a 🍽🍛. The service is just there

Diner Review №197

Nice hole in the wall Thai place. Love the food, it's great tasting.

Diner Review №198

The food is hella good for the price! Everyone who I brought here loves this place. I usually get the chicken panang curry (spicy coconut curry).
