Great spicy chicken pad thai, great fried rice. That was all I ordered but so gonna visit again.
Friendly service as well.

Diner Review №4

Thai Lily has been dependably delicious over the past 8 years or so. Sadly, the order we got last week was genuinely terrible. Not sure what happened because the restaurant gets consistently great reviews.

Beat Home Style Thai Food

My new thai place!

Diner Review №10

Placed and paid for an online order, when I arrived at the restaurant I was told the order had been cancelled because the staff failed to accept it in time. I was told a refund would take several days but I had to repay if I wanted my food. Was not offered any kind of courtesy even though it was the fault of the restaurant. Was a favorite restaurant of mine but won’t be returning due to business’ unprofessional practices.

The best!!!! The food is so so yummy, LOTS of vegan options, sweetest staff, and just overall a great vibe. Can’t wait to come back!!!! 🥹 we got the pad see ew, garlic fried rice, & Pad Ke Mao drunken noodles. Everything was 10/10, but my fave was the drunken noodles😍

Diner Review №17

I had the yellow curry chicken lunch special and man it was the best curry I’ve had to date. For $10 I got a perfectly crunchy veggie egg roll, a small vegetable soup, the curry had exactly the right amount of spices, and the rice was soft and sticky. I just wish I lived closer to this restaurant.

Diner Review №18

I ordered here through Uber Eats before my order was accepted. I called them to verify that everything was gluten-free because this restaurant actually operates under another name as well called Gluten Free Thai Teaser. As I am on the phone with the guy, trying to determine if the side that I was allowed to choose from that, I chose underneath my gluten-free menu item was gluten-free as he’s explaining to me that it is NOT. I immediately tell him to cancel the order so he then tells me that he just completed the order through Uber Eats and therefore I couldn’t cancel it! What a slimy way to do business!!!!!!!! I have disputed the charge because unfortunately the food has to go into the trash for two reasons one I don’t really know if he knew what he was talking about and they had the item listed under gluten-free and two there’s a major problem with cross-contamination. Whoever’s managing this restaurant really needs to do better and fix your damn menu on Uber Eats!!!!!!!!
Also: TREAT CUSTOMERS BETTER! You knew there was a problem when I told you I couldn’t have gluten-free and you still completed that order through Uber Eats after I asked you to cancel it, trying to be greedy and keep the business.

I usually order the red Thai curry and it is absolutely delicious! We decided to visit the restaurant today and discovered more of their delicious food. The owner is super nice and friendly too. Discovered my fav Thai place

Diner Review №22

Amazing food and great service! The food is delicious and cheap. Definitely worth the taste!

Diner Review №23

This evening I ordered the Pad Thai with Chicken and Thai spiced Green Chicken Curry as well as two orders of Fried Spring Rolls and had the order delivered to my apartment.

The food was fresh, and the aromas of the spices beckoned us to indulge our senses. With the first bite, my mouth exploded with flavor and the experience lasted for the entire meal. The food was delicious! I cannot wait to try other dishes on the menu.

Thanks to the cooks, front of house staff and the driver who helped make my dining experience a memorable one.

Diner Review №24

We ordered the pad Thai, green curry, and some fried spring rolls. The spring rolls were delicious, and my friend loved his green curry! My Pad Thai was also incredibly delicious! I’m usually very picky about my Pad Thai, but y’all absolutely nailed it and had me close to tears after my first bite 😩 absolutely worth every cent and will be going back!

Diner Review №25

This food is always fresh and made to order. The staff is always welcoming and they have our orders memorized! I drive all the way from Richmond to eat here

Such a relaxing takeout experience. David was right there to greet me with a smile. His patience to offer suggestions while I decided on which dish to delight myself 🥰

As I waited for my basil fried rice, i was invited to have a seat at one of their tables and I enjoyed a hot cup of oolong tea, also delicious.

I used to regularly take myself out on dates before all this life happened lol...and this was definitely the best 10 minutes I've enjoyed with myself at a restaurant in a long time.

Thank you, David!! For setting the lovely tone for my first Thai Lily Cafe experience.

Diner Review №35

Huge portions and tasty food. Fast service and overall clean place! Will surely keep going there whenever I fancy some Thai!

Diner Review №36

Food is very flavorful and tasty customer services. Great small place but big taste

Diner Review №37

This place has the best Curry I have ever tried! My fave is the Masaman Curry. I travel for work and I have try curry in other states and nothing compares to this place! This is our fave spot to get curry, so if you are visiting Houston, don’t leave without trying this place and if you live here…. Just go!

Diner Review №38

So I had been here before.. a long time ago.. but seems like they have made some positive changes. Good was excellent. I was surprised to see hardly anyone for lunch. Will continue to try the other dishes but the Basil with Chicken was on fire(really tasty). Will definitely come back. Come try this place out if you want some delicious Thai food.

Diner Review №39

Highly recommend this restaurant, it’s exotic and flavorful.

Diner Review №40

I ordered yellow curry chicken. Little black hair in rice, the potatoes are not cooked all the way, and the chicken taste old and dry.

Diner Review №41

Located on Dairy Ashford. If you check-in on Yelp then you can get a free drink of your choice, just no alcohol. The plaza is quite small but it wasn't crowded when I came on a Friday night. The inside had an elegant setting. Something I wasn't expecting. I thought it would be a more casual setting.

Thai style chicken wings: About 5 pieces of wings and drumsticks. You can go with the regular or the explosive spicy. Also come with a sauce. To me, the chicken was bit salty but the taste will balance out if you dip it in the sauce.

Thai papaya salad: Huge portion. You can choose the spicy level from 1-5. I asked for mild and the waiter said it was level 2. However, it was bit spicier than mild to me but no problem! It was still delicious. I'm a sucker for anything sour and spicy. Seriously though, we couldn't finish it.

Thai iced tea: I honestly never ordered a thai tea at a Thai restaurant. I'm a fan of thai tea at boba places but there was just something special about this one. It didn't taste like one you would get at a boba place. It was so much better! We got it for free if you check in on Yelp. A-must!

Curry: Not sure about the full name of this curry but you can select what kind of meat you want in it. We went with the pork. Once again, huge portion for two people. The potatoes were tender and just a good level of spice to the curry. It also come with a side of rice.

Tom yum soup: You can go with a small or large. A small is big bigger than a rice bowl. From other picture, a large was quite big. Glad I didn't go with the large. We didn't eat too much of the soup due to the large portion of each dishes.

Diner Review №43

I placed a order To-Go.
Was quoted 15, minutes. I read online from another person to give an extra 5. I get there they have my order not even started two other people get their food before me, getting here after me. I tell them what my order is. They have me sit at a table. I'm literally watching people stand and talk and doing nothing. Every 10 minutes somebody comes up to say "Just a few more minutes."

The curry is a bit better than Iyaras but the time alone killed it for us.

Even if you think of ordering ahead like I did for pickup. It still took an hour in total to get it. That saved no time. Go to Iyara instead. We will next time.

Diner Review №44

The BEST pad thai I have had in years. Chicken Satay, cheese egg rolls and thai iced tea also excellent.

Diner Review №45

This is one of my favorite restaurants to stop by or lunch. The service is always excellent and the food is delicious. I especially love their General Tso's Chicken. It's always fresh and tasty!

Diner Review №46

Read those reviews and let get this place a chance since I wanted some Thai food. I walked in without nobody greeting, not until I found my way to sit down and the lady came to me. I ordered pad kee mao lunch combo, it comes with a small soup and a tiny egg rolls. Soup is disappointed, it tasted like chicken broth with chopped veggies. Pad kee mao portion is small, in my opinion… it only have a few pieces of meat, and the green beans are undercooked. $12 for the meal.

Diner Review №47

Diner Review №48

I've been ordering from here for a few years. It has some of the best Thai in the city. I tend to order the pad prik khing and I order it level 4 or Thai hot. It's up there with Thai Gourmet (which closed down and re-opened as Thai Garden). Service is excellent. I'd suggest it's better for takeout as the ambiance is not great right now as it changed it's system during Covid I believe. Again, great food though, most important.

Place was closed at 10PM even though times listed show 11:55PM. Lady at the front was also rude.

Diner Review №52

Guaranteed, the food will be good. I have been going to them for years and their food doesn’t disappoint.

Diner Review №53

Woah, the taste, the smell, the view of the food this restaurant serves is truly incredible. Much love to everyone in the kitchen ! Kindly ya boy, Isaac.

Diner Review №54

Very friendly staff and the food was very delicious. I discovered them from the Too Good To Go app, but i will definitely come back and a regular client! Delicious!!

Diner Review №55

Small and quaint with friendly people. I had the curry and it was great. Fried tofu was a little watery inside. I’d definitely go again. Friend enjoyed her food as well.

Diner Review №56

Little Thai Cafe is an authentic shop, serving authentic Thai food, ran by authentic owners. Eaten both takeout and dine-in, we continue to be reeled in. Each customer, returning or new, is greeted with tasteful food and passionate hosts/owners

Diner Review №57

Food is absolutely amazing! It’s great day you get it as well as warmed up as leftovers! The staff there is also quite amazing and so kind!

Diner Review №58

Absolutely delicious food and fast takeout service. And the staff was very sweet too.

Diner Review №59

Great food. I enjoy the green curry here a lot

Diner Review №60

Llevo años visitando este restaurant . Tienen el mejor Pad Thai , sin lugar duda. Te atienden con amabilidad , uno se siente en casa.

Diner Review №61

Gave my name and staff laughed and asked me to repeat it. Food was either average or subpar (honestly the wings still had hairs and a feather yet were old per the black inside). Only bright spot was almond cookies.
Rude staff member opened my bag and pulled out a spoon with her hands that were just handling cash and cards from patrons when I simply asked for another fork…I ordered 4 things, 2 forks is not an unreasonable ask.

Diner Review №62

I really recommend the Thai ice coffee is taste than local coffee .special the tong Kha soup is my favorite soup.even they're short hand .hey still bring the good service for the dining room..I hope your business will be great thanks!

Diner Review №63

Diner Review №64

Authentic taste. Tried tom yum veggie soup and yellow veg curry that came with sticky rice. Both, Too good! My brother also recommended clear veg soup. I bet it's equally good. Will be a regular there for sure.

Diner Review №65

I don’t usually review restaurants but i feel like this time i have to! I loved the food here and i just feel like this restaurant is so underrated. Great options if you are a vegetarian too! The staff is really nice and i enjoyed the food so much! Definitely will be back here all the time!!!

Diner Review №66

Super disappointed because the reviews are otherwise good. Spring rolls had iceberg lettuce, peanut sauce was 95% peanut butter, panang curry was bland, and crispy pork fried rice was I flavorful and overcooked.

Diner Review №67

Taste is a 10 out of 10 price and portion size small but very flavorful peanut sauce was awful taste and consistency same as eating peanut butter but every thing else was cheese roll 2 or 3 inches same with spring rolls small GREAT

Diner Review №68

*IF you like 2 slices of FISHY CHEESECAKE & $21 for DRY Chicken & Shrimp Pad Thai W/0nly 4 shrimp! PERFECT place. LOTUS WAS MUCH BETTER!

Diner Review №69

Diner Review №70

I think the prices are not what you are paying for. the lava cake, the size of your palm costs $4 my entrée i ordered is $12 wasn’t even a good portion

Diner Review №71

The tom kha gai chicken coconut soup was really excellent, as was the massaman curry. Will likely become one of my goto restaurants.

Diner Review №72

Excelente

Diner Review №73

EXTREMELY SMALL PORTIONS FOR THE PRICE. The fish cakes are slivers, the cheese roll was crayola sized, the LARGE sticky rice I ordered was small, the "cup" of sauces are not 8oz CUPS but tiny sides, the (DS1) Basil where I added $8 worth of fish only had a few bites and didn't taste like basil or look like the photo - it was SWIMMING in dark black soy sauce! I used to LOVE this place but it's really gone downhill. I will never order from here again.

Diner Review №74

We didn’t dine in but did go in to wait for our order. The restaurant is super cute and cozy and clean. Will definitely be dining in soon. The food was very tasty. Ordered Pad Thai and the curry with potatoes in it with extra potatoes! Everything was delicious and well served. Service was great although they do have signs that they are short staff so wait might be longer than usual. Seemed fine to me.

Diner Review №75

Very cold food and not fresh

Diner Review №76

We were the only ones dining in. We ordered the fish cakes (they were smaller than expected and tasted really rubbery) which was the only thing I wouldn’t order again. I ordered the drunken noodles and fiancée ordered something right beneath it on the menu Pad something and both were delicious

Diner Review №77

Diner Review №78

Diner Review №79

food and service was excellent.Food was a bit overpriced. But definitely going back.

Diner Review №80

Amazing experience! We ordered delivery straight from the restaurant! I love giving my money directly to the restaurant to support small businesses! Thank you so much!! We will definitely be ordering from you guys again! The food is to die for too!! :)

Diner Review №81

Delicious and decent price. Love it!

Diner Review №82

Ordered my favorite Thai soup Tom Kha Kai and it was delicious! Spicy but not overpowering. Will be back!

Diner Review №83

Thee best papaya salad, sticky rice.everything was awesome and wonderful service. The food was nice hot and fresh!!

Diner Review №84

Much better than the average Thai restaurant! Unassuming, no-nonsense decor (you're paying for the food, not fancy decorations).

Diner Review №85

The food was great so many flavors in 1 bite. The service was also good but we were the only table in the restaurant. They have a sign outside the door advising service may be slow but since we were alone we didn’t experience that. The only reason I took 1 star off was the restaurant had a weird smell (not food) and looked a bit unorganized.

Diner Review №86

I ordered the Chicken Pad Thai and also the yellow curry. I have to say the pad Thai was very bland and had no flavor. The chicken was cut into flat pieces and was ok. The curry had a vary grainy texture and was not good either. I had fried rice as a side which was ok. Service was friendly and I would rate it a 4 out of 5 for that. What I ordered however was 1 out of 5. I do not believe that I will be returning.

Diner Review №87

Been honest I don't order anything too fancy , usually Orange Chicken, Chu che chicken , general tso or pad see eaw

Diner Review №88

Diner Review №89

We came in on a Sunday afternoon. We were the only ones at the time and we’re pleasantly greeted. Ordered a bunch of items- chicken satay, Pad Thai noodles, Penang curry and basil fried rice. The food was fresh and flavourful. Service was great! Would definitely come back.

Diner Review №90

Delicious Thai tea & Fried rice

Diner Review №91

My favorite Thai Spot!

Diner Review №92

Diner Review №93

We have ordered many times and it is consistently good! Our favorites are the soft spring rolls w/ shrimp and the Tom Kha (w/ chicken or shrimp). We also really like the Thai Lily shrimp fried rice.

Diner Review №94

One of my favorite places in the area to sit down for some curry! Their curries are always so comforting to eat, which is why I've been coming back to this place nonstop since I moved to West Houston. Their Mussaman curry spiced to 3/5 is my favorite, with the nice balance of the peanut and chili flavors blending together in harmony. As I have been for the past three years, I will always be back.

Diner Review №95

I typically get their Pad Thai with beef.
Their green curry is also really good.
And I love their mango black tea and Thai tea.

Diner Review №96

Diner Review №97

This is an indoor dining location at the end of a strip plaza. There are large windows that extend along the front of the restaurant for those that love their vitamin D.
It is a smaller location with about 8 tables and the ambiance is peaceful and quiet.
I ordered the Chu Chee chicken which is fried which chicken pieces with an orange flavored coconut sauce and jasmine rice along with a wonton/dumpling soup.
The soup broth was clean, clear and full of flavor. The wontons were tasty, and did not come apart. The fried chicken was fried in a light batter and the Chu Chee sauce did the rest with a balanced flavor of seasonings.
Would recommend and will definitely be coming back!

Diner Review №98

Diner Review №99

Got the shrimp Pad Thai. It was great! Not too spicy. The prices are good. The service was excellent, very friendly. They brought the food to my car! I will go again .

Diner Review №100

Wonton soup was perfect! Best broth I've tasted in years! Pad thai was wonderful...chicken was tender and spices were perfect!
We will definitely return.

Diner Review №101

Very small, quaint facility with Big flavors and good portions. The staff was sweet and generous about substitutions and everything tasted EXCELLENT.
A Worthwhile hole-in-the-wall Local Establishment.

Diner Review №102

I've only ordered food for pick up from here, but this is very easily one of my favorite places to eat in town! The pad thais and curries are very yummy and the portions are great. The staff are also super sweet the times that I went in and picked up my order.

Diner Review №103

Diner Review №104

Great food! Amazing service!

Diner Review №105

Food is good and service was great. Prices are reasonable compared to many local places.

The two young men servers were attentive and efficient. Damien needs to go work at a 5 star restaurant. He is phenomenal

Diner Review №106

The vegetable red curry is outstanding. Lots of vegetables and a flavor we adore, we add tofu too. Always happy to visit Thai Lily.

Diner Review №107

We really enjoyed our food here and the staff so friendly. Tom Ka Gai soup was very tasty

Diner Review №108

I love this place. The food is so so good. My favorite Thai restaurant in Houston.

Diner Review №109

Diner Review №110

The food was absolutely amazing!

Diner Review №111

Crispy pork pad thai is my absolute favorite. I will always go out of the way to come here for it. 😛

Diner Review №112

My parents are vegetarian and this is one of our favorite restaurants to go to that caters to both their diet as well as mine. A family owned restaurant that is just a great hole in the wall off Westheimer.

Here's some recommendations that we've come to love over the years:

- Tom Yum Soup
- Fried Rice (All of them are good)
- Chuchee Chicken & ChuChee Eggplant
- Regular Eggplant dish
- Pad Thai (all of them are good but we like the ones with thicker noods)
- Crispy Wings w/ chili sauce

Diner Review №113

I ordered Padthai and Tom yum soup. Padthai is too sweet and all noodles, I barely see any bean sprouts or tofu or eggs. Yucky! Worse Padthai I’ve ever had.

Diner Review №114

Diner Review №115

Excellent Pad Thai Chicken! Fast and tasty, as ordered exactly. Sticky Rice with Mango good too for dessert. Recommend this places for sure!

Diner Review №116

Delicious!

Diner Review №117

Diner Review №118

Diner Review №119

Best papaya salad i ever had in my life

Diner Review №120

This restaurant I used to love their food, after the pandemic the food was surprisingly terrible, I am so sorry I had to post this terrible review. It’s a shame, was one of my Fav. Poor quality. the rice mango dessert was the only one edible.

Diner Review №121

Honestly was the worst tom kha soup I’ve had, and 25 minutes after eating I was stuck sick on the toilet for hours. Would have rather stayed hungry than have my body violently empty itself.

Diner Review №122

It was my second time there and as soon as I showed up they knew my order from last time even which beer I ordered and we're very helpful and pleasant this is a great place with delicious food and wonderful customer service.

Diner Review №123

Great food and friendly staff. We dined in and even though they were short staffed that evening (who isn't these days?) they did their best to take care of us and got the food out quick as possible. The fried tofu was fantastic. It was soft on the inside, but fried really well on the outside. A great appetizer!

Diner Review №124

Great food everything was just right with authentic Thai taste. Sever was very polite and attentive definitely will be coming back.

Diner Review №125

Diner Review №126

Amazing Thai food and great atmosphere with very caring staff. I highly recommend it. It's obvious the good is made to order and made with love!

Diner Review №127

Very good food would come again good service

Diner Review №128

It feels like a satisfying meal every time i go here . It feels like my mother has cooked it . It feels homely and delicious food . Every time. Fair pricing as well.

Diner Review №129

Really good yellow vegetable curry

Diner Review №130

Delicious and family style, a perfect combination for a date night with the hubs. Good food, good service, we'll definitely be back!

Diner Review №131

Great service and the pad thai was great

Diner Review №132

BEST PAD THAI AND EGG ROLLS HANDS DOWN! Believe me, I’ve had my share at different pad Thai places and this was a gem! This is my new favorite place and plus customer service 10 out of 10! :)

Diner Review №133

Diner Review №134

Loved the food! It was very tasty. Good portion. Value for money. Courteous waiter and nice staff. Would go again!

Diner Review №135

When I reached Houston driving from El Paso It was quite late in the afternoon and most of the restaurants were closed, so my options were limited. I was tired and hungry and wanted something very satiating and known to me. And my favorite is Thai curry (either yellow or green curry) and white jasmine rice, which is a standard item served in all Thai restaurants.
I looked up the price and pictures of the same item in the online menu of several Thai restaurants in the neighborhood, using Google maps, And this one seemed perfect - The price, the picture. So I came here and I was not disappointed.
The food was really tasty, I cannot say it's the best I have had, but it tested as great as it could be.
The food was served hot and apparently freshly made. The vegetables used in the curry for example the bamboo soots and the green beans, could not be more fresh.
The thing which impressed me most is the quantity, It was definitely more than enough for one person. I was super hungry did not have breakfast, it was almost evening, yet I had a hard time finishing the big bowl of curry. unfortunately I could not take away the remaining portion as I was driving. If I had lived here I would definitely be a regular customer.

Diner Review №136

Great take out food. Yellow curry amount is plentiful to feed 3. Awesome deal and tasty food. Don't change, I am a regular.

Diner Review №137

Diner Review №138

The food is amazingly good at this place but the front staff needs to focus more on getting to go orders correct. This is the second time I have placed an order and they had it incorrect when I got to the restaurant. How do you mix up a curry with Tana's spicy fried rice when they are the only one who has it? This tremendously slows down the wait time for your food

Diner Review №139

Been going or ordering from here for over 5 years. The food is good and the service I've never had an issue with them.
The only complaint I have is that the food is never spicy enough when I ask for spice.
They give me a rating of 1-5 for hot. 1 being no spice 5 for the max spice. I ask for a 5 and it's always at a 1 or 2.
Besides that. The food is awesome.

Diner Review №140

Great food. Small honest staff. Champs during the freeze when all other restaurants closed

Diner Review №141

Diner Review №142

Always great service!

Diner Review №143

The food was delicious!!! Staff was super friendly!! We definitely don’t mind driving all the way to this side of town to try out some other dishes!!

Diner Review №144

Awesome food.

Diner Review №145

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Houston! Everything is delicious and I can't recommend this place enough.

Diner Review №146

Panag was yummy. We also got the fried fish... fish size was great presentation was beautiful. The fish wasn't super fresh I feel like or maybe they cooked it for too long bc it was too dry and crispy.

Diner Review №147

Tonight we ordered from GrubHub. It never showed and they blamed it on the restaurant. I called and spoke with the manager, who apologized and tried to make things right. Two hours later still no food, only to find out that GH would not cancel my refund and let the restaurant resend my food. I get a call from the Mgr at the restaurant who said GH didn't handle things right and that she is sending my order anyway, out of courtesy. I was so impressed with her kindness. Also, the delivery driver not only apologized but was just as kind. They will always have my business! Good people.

Diner Review №148

Courteous and of course great

Diner Review №149

I was driving one night, craving fried rice with chicken and shrimp. I map searched places near me. This one came up and decided to give it a try. I come here all the time now! I. Its delicious! I've tried the Thai Lily Fried rice.

Diner Review №150

I use to go to this place all the time but I will never get anything there again it looks like that no one's in this place know what they are doing. I order egg rolls and orange chicken and vegetables spring rolls and they was so bad thati could not even eat them. This place has really went down .

Diner Review №151

Consistently the Thai restaurant of choice for my family

Diner Review №152

I like this place.. but I felt some type of way when I picked up my take out, got home, and the basil rice w shrimp was only a half cup of rice and a bunch of large sized vegetables. They got me. I will take my business else where. Ginger house here i come!

Diner Review №153

This is the BEST Pad Thai. I love it so much!

Diner Review №154

red curry was delicious

Diner Review №155

Really awesome food! While I was waiting a couple promised me that I made a good decision, they were right!

Diner Review №156

Diner Review №157

Diner Review №158

Super delicious and yummy food always. The best “Pad Thai” and Curries in town. Excellent customer service. You have to try this place. Highly recommended! Thumbs up!👍🏻

Diner Review №159

I get the Thom Kha soup on the regular for lunch and it is super tasty, you can get it as spicy as you want, level 5 for me, and really hits the spot. Great value, friendly service and really really good food. Would recommend if you like Thai food.

Diner Review №160

Quaint and cute... I would definitely come again. I had the yellow curry with a little spice and it was delicious! I also enjoyed the Thai tea. The customer service was also pretty good. Try them out!

Best Thai food in Houston. I have tried many Thai restaurant but this one is forever. Best food, excellent customer service.

Diner Review №165

Nice place to enjoy dinner

Diner Review №166

My favorite thai spot!

Diner Review №167

Food was cold and over priced. I asked for two meats and only got one rib. Won’t be back!

Diner Review №168

Order food and and wanted to change the address in less than 2mins, they couldn't deliver and they are not giving me a refund, over $25.
Please kindly send my refund or reschedule my order.

Diner Review №169

Two times, they cancelled my DoorDash order. It is advertised they are open until 10:30pm nightly. The last time, I called them during the day and you couldn't get through. Finally, one person answered but put me on hold, then the call got disconnected. This side of west Houston offers many more options, time to look elsewhere.

Diner Review №170

I don't think it's possible to have a bad meal here. Excellent service and even better food. Their yellow curry is phenomenal.

Diner Review №171

Ordered the Green Curry w Chicken, Level 3 Spice to-go.
WOW! Very impressed with the flavor, and good portion size.
It had a really nice flavor profile with the coconut, basil, aromatics. Fresh asparagus, mixed bell peppers, and julienne cut bamboo shoots added a nice crunch. Expertly balanced sweet, spice, herbiness, and no bitterness from the bamboo. It left me wanting more.

I’ve never been to Thailand, but I can’t imagine it gets much better than this!

Been here once, definitely 5 stars so far.

Diner Review №172

This place has quickly become one of my favorites, great food

Diner Review №173

I ordered delivery. It was accurate and delicious!!

Diner Review №174

I eat here about once a week maybe twice ... I can’t get enough of Thai Lily and I like that they store your last order in the system when you order to go.

Diner Review №175

Nice Thai.

Food was top notch and delivery was quick. Definitely will become a regular order for us!

Diner Review №177

Excellent red curry, yellow curry, and summer rolls (with yummy peanut sauce!), to name a few. Highly recommend the tofu red curry. The service here is great as well.

Diner Review №178

The best red curry on the West end of Houston! Used to be V’s Thai across the street but they have since closed down.

Food was over priced and not good in my opinion. Won’t be returning.

Love this place! Came right before closing and the guy was still so nice. Recommended the Thai tea and it is delicious! The green curry is bomb too! Gotta try it. Thanks :)

Ordering online was pretty easy and the food is excellent! Always love dropping by to have a Thai Tea and see smiling faces! Staff and owners are very genuine, kind and hard working! Thank you for the excellent food and service!

I love this restaurant as i have been dining there for almost a decade. But to my horror the past few times the soap bottles were watered down to the point of no lather as well they have the same soap for the employees to use the lady admitted to me that this is what they do. So disappointed because my health is more important than how great the food tastes.

Great food and large portions! I got the yellow curry at a 1 and it was still a little spicy which was perfect. However, I asked to add tofu (for an extra charge) and while it was confirmed several times they didn’t include it :( it’s not cheap so I was disappointed! Definitely double check the order before you leave if you do a modification!

This is the Hidden Gem of Thai restaurants in Houston

Diner Review №190

For the very low prices (at least at lunch; most things are around $8), this is decent food and a good value. However, DO NOT TRUST THEM if you have a genuine gluten problem (most people don't). Don't risk it (I did, yesterday, and I'm paying dearly and will for a week).

I've eaten here... 2-3 times. It's good for the price. The spicy level tends to be lower than expected.

Diner Review №191

Get the Tom Kha Gai. You're welcome!

Diner Review №197

Tom Yum soup is missing lemon grass and does not taste authentic. $16 for a large with cup of rice. Over priced
