Zaab Der is bringing you the taste of home cooking Northeastern (isan)style & varieties of Traditional Authentic Thai Dishes. Fresh-Healthy-Delicious
Recently dined at Zaab Der and had a wonderful experience overall.
I tried a variety of dishes, starting with the Moo Ping, which was a standout! The pork skewers were perfectly cooked, tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Recommend this dish if you’re a fan of grilled meat.
Tsunami soup base was nicely balanced with a spicy and sour however the seafood didn’t taste as fresh as I had hoped.
Beef Pad Thai was great, just what you’d expect from a traditional Thai dish. The flavors were spot on, and it made for a satisfying meal.
Lastly, the Crab Fried Rice was a pleasant surprise! The fish was packed with jumbo crab meat, and it felt like a real treat. Definitely worth trying if you’re craving something indulgent.
All in all, Saab Der delivered some authentic Thai food. I’ll definitely be back to try a different soup next time!
Don’t let the somewhat forbidding surroundings and interior deter. Located in a Class-B type strip mall along Dairy Ashford, south of I-10, this place surprises one pleasantly. Despite the dated 1980s decor and less than pleasing furniture, the welcome was warm and service prompt. Ordered Thai iced coffee, Isan Sausage, and Veg Soft Rolls as starters, followed by Tofu Prik Khing, Chicken Red Curry, and Tofu Green Curry for mains. Food arrived promptly and was tasty and plentiful - spice levels were on point (ordered “spicy”). Overall, a satisfying dinner that set us back $82 including an 18% tip. Worth frequenting if one is in one area.
When we moved to the Memorial area, we were looking for restaurants that are authentic, and we found ZAAB DER.
This is a small, fine restaurant in the Energy Corridor.
The place combines affordability, variety, cleanliness, and good service.
While it may not be as widely known as larger establishments, it likely caters to those looking for a relaxed dining experience with diverse menu options.
We enjoyed our meals and beverages.
Randomly found this place on Google and decided to come eat dinner here after a graduation. We were kindly greeted and seated, the host was very welcoming and the place was very clean and cute!
Jeff was our waiter and he went above and beyond!! He explained every item we asked about on the menu, offered great recommendations on dishes and was very attentive! He checked up on us regularly and ended our meal with a surprise dessert to celebrate the graduation!
The food was DELICIOUS!! We ordered a variety of dishes and loved each one they were very very yummy! We ordered the yellow curry, pad Thai, crab friend rice, the garlic shrimp noodles and the tsunami soup are an absolute must!!
10/10 would recommend and will definitely be coming back for sure! Thank you so much & very happy w Jeff’s service!! 👍🏽👍🏽
We ate here for lunch. We ordered chicken tom kha, Panang curry chicken, and crab fried rice. I really liked the rice because they have big lumps of crabmeat.
Their place is small but decorative. The staff was friendly and accommodating. We definitely will come back to try their other menu items.
James was a great server, very attentive & helpful. The food was excellent. I had Tom Yum soup with shrimp, Thai basil fried rice with beef & 2 fried eggs, & Jasmine tea. I literally had to back away from the fried rice… It was so good I wanted to eat it all! I’ll definitely be back.
Fist time and not the last. We came here for dinner and the place is nice. Staff is friendly and decoration is nice and make you feel comfortable.
I really enjoyed the soup Tom Kha; It has coconut and onion, if you want you have the option to add protein. Also the stir fry was great with black rice and a good amount of vegetables.
Definitely a good option when you are craving for Thai food. Next time I will try curries; they look amazing on picture and they are perfect for the chilly months.
This is our go-to spot for delicious food. We take it to friends, cater gatherings and stop in for a meal several times a month. We can take a bottle of wine in and sit over several courses. The service is always good, to go items packed well. We love the Musman and Green curries, pad C ew, crab fried rice...and so many others!

Excellent!!! I love this place
A nice tasty little Thai spot here on Memorial Dr. My friends like to com here because the price for the food is good and the foods are pack with flavors and the service is fast. Some of the best Crab fried rice in town.
Best restaurant
Recommend
By far the worst Thai food I have ever had. The fried rice was a big scoop of glob of goo. It’s seemed to be cooked days in advance. The egg rolls were even worse. I could go on and on but will stop now. I think you get my opinion of this place. It does not even deserve 1star. One more thing, for the people who gave this place a great review apparently they have never had good Thai .

Best Thai food. Would like to recommend you all come try!
nice quaint place for good Thai food. will come again...

Amazing food, quick service and great pricing! I loved the Massuman Curry - one of my favorites now in Houston.
James was a great server, very attentive & helpful. The food was excellent. I had Tom Yum soup with shrimp, Thai basil fried rice with beef & 2 fried eggs, & Jasmine tea. I literally had to back away from the fried rice… It was so good I wanted to eat it all! I’ll definitely be back.
I went here for a team lunch. I got the Roasted Duck Curry and it was very delicious.
Had a good experience.
We ordered the following:
Veg spring rolls - a little too oily - avg at best
Basil eggplant - very good
Green curry with chicken - the mild was quite spicy
Red curry with vegetables - medium spicy ( was v spicy )
The curries had v good flavors but a little too spicy.
We also had the mango sticky rice which was quite good and the coconut icecream ( v good ).
Tent, the manager was very courteous.
I def recommend the place for flavorful food but beware of the spice.
Tried this place that a friend suggested for a lunch meet-up. Food was ok. Nothing special. Prices seem high for portion size. Service was good, friendly wait staff. No plans to go back.
The food was excellent as was the service! Looking forward to going back on our next trip to Houston!
Found my new favorite Thai restaurant soft rolls were yummy, had the red curry the heat was perfect...caused some sweating. Really enjoyed the sausage appetizer as well...
My boyfriend and I were craving Thai food one Thursday and decided to try this place out, and we both loved it! We don’t have Thai very often but I loved the chicken satay and Tiger Cry dish (the tamarind chili is spicy. so spicy) and he liked his Drunken Noodles. The decor inside is really nice too and the staff were approachable and
friendly, we’ll definitely be back again.
The food was tasty, the staff was attentive and helpful. They have a very comfy cute restaurant and the menu has such a tasty selection.
Trash
This cozy restaurant is a delightful little place to enjoy some delicious Thai food. High quality ingredients, very fresh and with plenty of heat options depending on your preference. They will accommodate to your level of spicy. Fish is cooked very nicely and their portions are generous!
I love this place. I've visited it so many times. This is the best Thai restaurant in the Energy Corridor area. The service, food and atmosphere are all great. I highly recommend this place. Next time I visit this place, I'll definitely take some photos.
It was the best thai food I've had in a while.
Got delivery the other day for my gf and I and my chicken was mushy, very fatty and had an very odd smell. Idk how to explain it. Very foul. Idk how it was so mushy when I stay down the street and I got it on time. Just not good quality. Will never order here again. She wasn’t thrilled over her order neither. Never ordering again
Amazing Thai restaurant conveniently located close to my house, making it easy to access. The food is consistently delicious, and their menu offers a wide variety of authentic Thai dishes. Plus, their availability on Uber Eats makes ordering in a breeze. Definitely deserving of a five-star review!
I cannot even explain the vintage and artsy vibe you get hit with when you enter the restaurant. The decor, lighting, and furniture makes you want to settle in and stay. Absolutely love it. Now on to the food! I’ve never had such fragrant curry in my life. If you love any of the curries (my fave is the yellow, and I highly recommend it!), you’ll enjoy them all! Try enjoying it with all of your senses, and you’ll understand what I mean. They also allow BYOW, so this spot is purrfect for a date night or a celebratory occasion.
Food was horrible. We got sick afterwards. Service is bad. Will never go again
Very mediocre. Green curry was great but everything else lacked flavor and was just boiled veggies. Can’t have sub par food like that in a town like this where food is a high standard
Might be one of the best Thai places in town.
Visited for V-day with my spouse. Ordered pad woon sen, chicken Satay, red curry.
- Chicken Satay was good. Not the best I had though.
- The Red curry was amazing! Super delicious.
- The problem was with Pad Woon Sen. It had kind of a burnt smell to it to begin with but we ignored it and continued to eat. Unfortunately we ended up finding EGG shell pieces in our mouths!!! . A mood killer moment!!
We asked for take away boxes but while packing those found more egg shell pieces in the dish. The servers asked if we needed a replacement. We definitely didn't want to take the risk, asked to cancel that order and they agreed.
Chose this restaurant as recommended by a friend, entered the restaurant with high hopes of having a good quality time with my spouse, but ended up leaving the place very disappointed.
Hope the management takes this seriously!
I'm always looking for new places to eat lunch. I drive to various parts of the city and its boundaries. I visited Zaab Der today following an appointment for one of my listings. The atmosphere, the flavor, the cuisine, and the serving portions were all excellent.
Perfect TomYum
Staff is friendly and food was wonderful! Pad thai was to die for!
Thai food, quite ok but not very tasty for vegetarians. I understand theh have good original Thai food with meat etc...
Smallish casual spot for delicious, reasonably priced, well portioned meals with great service.
Primarily Northeastern (Isan) style dishes.
BYOB
Check this place out!
We've been ordering online here forever. Dined in for the first time. Highly recommend take out and dine in. Really cute little spot. I can't think of a better Thai restaurant in Houston.
Cleaningless was terrible. I would not come back just because of that. Smelly, tables sticky and dirty, furniture damaged, just dirty. Food was hit/miss. 2 of the plates we oredered were good, one was terrible - my wife ordered "healty rice" it was not to our taste or liking. We told the waiter to take it back and they charged us for it anyway - very bad CS. We may consider it for to-go or delivery in the future, but we r not coming back to the dining room.
This place has very good food with the perfect pricing and portion sizes. Thai tea was great and the service was very quick as well. Definitely recommend!
Fresh and tasty
Fist time and not the last. We came here for dinner and the place is nice. Staff is friendly and decoration is nice and make you feel comfortable.

Flavorful food and very friendly service
Amazing authentic food and experience!!! Excellent service and a fun atmosphere! You won’t go home hungry!!
Always a good experience!
This message for owner and customer who looking free delivery.
On big signs said oline 'free delivery'. If you can't keep your word. Put that sings down.
Everytime I called for food delivery worth over $200 for big group of people. Most of the time they said 'we are short staff, don't have a driver today' that what they always said. They staff to manager don't know, how to run the business. That hope this results in the future.
Been going here since moving into memorial last year. Highly recommend for decent food that isn’t oily or too heavy.
The best Thai food in Houston! They have plenty of vegan options here. I love their mussaman curry with tofu.
A hidden gem! After many failed restaurants in that space (pizza, tea house, etc), finally one that hit the spot! The food is delicious and the prices are great! It is spicier 🥵 than other Thai restaurants, so level 3 is like a 1 here! But all good 👍🏼
Worse customer service ever. I came at lunchtime, standing at the door for 10 minutes, all waiter and waitress saw me ,no one said nothing, after awhile 1 came out and told me why you waiting? You can pick any table you want. Okayyyy . I ordered my food, and she gave it a look like I am begging food for free. They never came and asked me what else i needed. i had to walk to the cashier to ask for rice. In the end, I'm asking for togo boxes. The waiter was brought out and didn't ask me what kind of box or anything he put down 1 paper box and 1 plastic box. Even though he saw what i have on my table, my papaya salad is too wet and smells for the paper box. The plastic box was used for my soup. Their food is good but they need to train their staff better.
Excellent food and service. A little pricey but soot!
Great Thai restaurant. Good service.
I came here because some friends recommended it. I called in my order of Thai Fried Rice with beef, and Pad Thai right before I pulled out of my driveway. I only live 4 minutes away. The person on the phone said it would be ready in 15-20min. I drove straight there thinking I would have time to review the menu and see what the inside was like. I got there in about 5 minutes and my order was already waiting on me, which was the first red flag. Nothing good can be cooked in 5 minutes! In addition, when the handed me the bill it also included a $25 order of Thai Fried Rice with “lump” crab, which I did not order. That was the second red flag. I started to have them remove it from my bill, but after considering some of the reviews I went ahead and paid for it. Huge mistake. So they prepared 3 entries in 5 minutes?? WTH? I get back to the house to eat dinner. The Pad Thai was not that great. Small amount of crushed peanuts in one corner. A tiny amount of bean sprouts in another, which should be a major component in the dish, not a few pieces off to the side. It was simply OK. I’ve had much better from most any other Thai place. The Thai fried rice with beef was honestly the worst Thai Fried Rice I’ve ever had. No flavor whatsoever, no spice whatsoever, and the beef looked and tasted like it had been boiled or steamed at some other time. it definitely was NOT cooked with the rice. There was no Thai basil. It was so bad I fed it to my dogs. The Thai Fried Rice with “lump” crab was a $25 joke! Again no flavor, no spice, no Thai basil, just rice and a small amount of crab meat that tasted very fishy. The dogs got that too! What a waste of my money and time. I won’t go back or recommend to anyone.
I checked this place out with my friends. The restaurant overall has a weird smell, it could be from the copper tables (that's all i could smell the whole night). A little too dark but nice decor. Service was not great but there was one main server and a guy helping him, they were doing the best they could with how busy it was.
We all ordered curry some panaang and some yellow. I ordered the yellow curry and a Thai tea. The food was good, yellow curry said that it wasn't spicy but it actually was. My friends panaang curry was super spicy for just average spice.
Food was overall good but not my top pick Thai restaurant.
Absolutely delicious Thai food with an extensive menu. Everything we ordered was great and I highly recommend!
Green curry with just the right amount of spice. Also, no eggplant, which I like. The drunken noodles are fantastic, too!
Absolutely phenomenal Thai food! I’ve been coming here with my family pretty frequently since they opened and everyone has loved the food. I’ve really like the Yum Woon Sen and the Masuman with berry rice.
It's an ok place, but it didn't wow me. I may need to try it again.
Best yellow chicken curry! Everything from here is delicious! I also recommend the chicken lettuce wraps.
Très bien comme resto 😊
Delicious food and great service
One of my favorite restaurants. Zaab Der has the best Thai food I ever had. I go there weekly. The staff is friendly and the food is delicious almost every single time
Everyone was welcoming and attentive. The food was delicious and the portions were adequate. The place had a nice atmosphere reflective of far east Asia. We really enjoyed dinner and will definitely be returning.
Food is excellent, rude carryout service but it doesn't hurt my feelings when the food is that good
That tofu red curry is addictive wow. Super rich and flavorful, words can't do it justice. And, I love that they can make it with crispy OR soft tofu, you hardly ever find places with that option. I appreciate their attentiveness regarding both veganism and nut-allergies. Beautiful décor and super nice atmosphere as well.
I missed the entire shopping center location, but realized it was right next to Walgreens, and there was plenty of parking. I visited this location for a bday celebration with friends and two others that had grown up in Thailand. I’ve been to a few other Thai restaurants in Houston, but this location is beautiful inside. We ordered family style and had about 6 different dishes and shared them all. I feel their portions are a bit on the smaller side, and their green curry was more runny, but all in all, you really cannot go wrong with Thai food. No pics, sorry… everything was gone before I remembered to snap a pic.
Very, very good!!! Jasmine tea and shrimp/pork egg rolls to start. I had the Spicy Basil Jasmine rice with Mixed Vegetables stir fry. Super, super fresh at least 5 kinds of veggies and a yummy soy sauce. Can’t wait to go back👍👍
One of my top 2 favorite Thai restaurants in Houston. Red Curry flavor is top notch and the Pad See Ew is excellent, especially with the crab option. Highly recommended!
Excellent Red Curry.. one of my two favorite places in Houston for it. Pad See Ew is also very good along withe the crab dishes. A regular for us to order and always quality food! Highly recommended.
My favorite place to get Pad Thai
A pretty good Thai restaurant. In any other city in Texas I would rate them a 5 star on food, but in Houston we have some incredible Thai restaurants to compete with. I do recommend Zaab Der if you are in the area, they have some unusual dishes which are very good and well worth trying. I particularly liked their curries and my favorite was the Yum Woonsen great flavor and just th right amount of spice
Thai restaurant located in a Randall shopping center. The menu is extensive though some of the items are pretty pricy. I ordered the crispy tofu from the appetizers, thai fried rice, garlic eggplant with tofu, and massaman curry.
The crispy tofu came with a good sweet and spicy sauce...but it wasn't very crispy but my kids enjoyed it. The fried rice good but on the smaller side. The eggplant tofu had a very good sauce, however, the eggplant was a bit undercooked and the tofu was a bit overcooked. The massaman curry was good but abit on the sweeter side. The white rice that came with everything was a bit stale.
Overall it was okay. I don't hate it but don't love it at the same time.
I haven't dined inside the restaurant but I did the pick up service and it was so so. I gave 2 stars because they were willing to serve me 10 mins before closing but not sure if it was worth the trip. A small bowl of tom yum costed me 10 bucks plus tip. Should'nt have tipped because I did not get any plasticware or napkins. That is what you're supposed to do at pick ups. Now tom yum was plain. It was more like a 10 dollar bowl for onion soup. It was mainly all onion. It is sad. Never coming back.
Best Thai restaurant in the neighborhood. Everything’s so tasty.
This is always my favorite spot for Thai food, but today (12/13) is the only day that I have disappointed about this place about customer service. When I walked in with a group of 6, I requested the waiter to sit on the other side of the room because he told me to sit to the table that right next to other large group table (maybe cause it was closer to the kitchen) ; i was just afraid of sitting to close with other table, we didnt mind if we were going to squeeze in the boost chair. He refused me with an attitude and we sat at the table he requested us. I always love the customer service here because of the other older waiter, and he always cheer me with a smile. The young guy we had tonight wasnt nice with us at all, i can feel the big negative energy from him an entire time,we just took a bright side that, think he just had a bad day. But he didnt ask us how spicy the tum lao we wanted as well as brought out wrong order. We paid and tipped then go home, but we are not happy. I am still coming back because of the good food and all nice people I met here.
This among the best Thais I’ve had lately. Everything was spot on. The pork skewer appetizer was incredible! Highly recommended.
Nice and comfy space in a strip mall. Friendly and attentive staff. Will routed menu. The tomcast soup was excellent and flavorful and had plenty of protein. Unfortunately the Green Curry Island really had very little flavor and was dominated by capsacin despite asking for just a little spice. I don't mind spicy food at all but when it's all spicy no real flavor that's disappointing.
Great ambiance. An specially great spot to take cute photos and eat yummy Thai food. So many good options to choose from. Pad kee Mao was good, not super spicy, but just right spicy. We liked the fried tofu appetizer. It's not very big, so we got two for our table of 6. Pineapple fried rice is delicious as well. The side of garlic rice was good. Kids really enjoyed the side of sticky rice which comes out in a cute container.
Service was very patient and kind. She took the time to let us get our order and repeated it back to make sure it was right.
Good food. Fair price
Fantastic pad thai and drunken noodles
Food is very good.
Came to dine in for lunch, party of one, ordered one dish but food was taking so long, I had to cancel and leave. Dine in was not busy and another table was receiving food before I did, and I came before them. Not a great experience unfortunately...
Really good. I miss Thai Gourmet but this place is pretty close.
My favorite thai restaurant in Houston. The service is fantastic, the restaurant is clean and the food is delicious. This was the hell rice, roasted duck curry(didn't get a picture) tiger cry, drunken noodles, isaan sausage and garlic Brussel sprouts. At this point you can basically order anything and you can't go wrong.
No satisfied by the taste and ingredients. Too adjusted to US’ taste and less to real Thai
Excellent Thai food and friendly service. Large menu
excellent kitchen quality products and very good attention
I eat a lot of different Thai places and I personally think this place was very tasty. It's a bit to savory or a bit too sweet on certain dishes, but a bit of lime or sauce can fix that. The servers were great. I went on father's day and my family enjoyed it. I'm sorry and grateful to the boy who waited our table. I have demanding people with me 😆. But you did great! Both of you. Dishes we presented neatly and portions were good for the price. Will come back with another party next time.
Best Thai place in the area!! I love their plate presentation, decor and everything taste delicious. Their padthai, curry and wings are die for 🥰😍
Zaab Der isn't exactly in our area and was well worth the drive to dine here. The interior has been creatively put together which adds to the pleasant experience we enjoyed here. The staff are super friendly and accommodating. The menu offers many tempting dishes. We ordered more than we could eat just to try a variety of flavors. Delicious!!! We were very impressed. The Tom Yum seafood soup is an incredible flavor and rivals the best that we've had. We enjoyed every bite of all our dishes and will definitely be dining here again in the near future.
Food was ok, nice and clean cozy restaurant
.
This is the first time we ordered from Zaab Der. DoorDash randomly cancelled our order half an hour after it was supposed to arrive. But I called Zaab Der and they delivered it to us despite being outside their delivery zone. Food was delicious!
Way too spicy. I have been an expat in se Asia for 10 years and medium spice was inedible
The food qas really good, nice place to have a meal the food was kinda sweet but I really like it
Food is fantastic, however service is a little disoriented
I'm not a Thai expert but I have eaten at quite a few Thai restaurants and Zaab Der is my new favorite place for Thai. We will definitely be coming back!
My wife thinks black pepper is spicy but the garlic shrimp worked out perfectly for her. I had the pepper steak with medium spice and it was the perfect level of spicy for me. I wouldn't reccomend going much higher than their medium spicy unless you're adventurous.
I'm a big guy, the portions aren't huge but I didn't leave hungry either. A little pricier than most Thai places I have been, but the quality of the food was top notch and the presentation was nice. The restaurant is quaint and clean and wasn't busy at all when we went for dinner at about 8:00 on a Wednesday. The decor is nice and our servers was friendly and helpful in figuring out what to order. The iced Thai coffee was delicious too. I'm looking forward to trying the Pad Thai next time!
This food is always sooooo good! Sometimes not as spicy as I order it to be but it’s always delicious. I always get the pad Thai along with other things 🤍
I was happy with my food, but my husband said his beef was chewy.
This place has a nice lounge-vibe and decor. I ordered the Tum Tad which is was delicious and they were generous with the portion. The papaya salad is not too salty like other Thai restaurants. The veggies were fresh. The panang curry was very good. I knocked off one star because of the chicken (overcooked) and smells (like old wet towel) when I first walked in.
***UPDATE: I came back for the 2nd time and I have to give this place 5 stars. The smell didn't bother me this time. I have my kids with me. We ordered:
-CRISPY TOFU - my daughter finished this
- BRUSSEL SPROUTS - not too salty and the crunchy topping was sooo good.
- CRAB FRIED RICE - they were very generous with the crab meat (which is did not have a fishy smell or taste). My 6 yo son almost ate all of it.
- COCONUT SOUP with chicken - not too heavy and perfect with mushrooms
- DUCK CURRY - perfectly cooked
AND BEST OF ALL - SEABASS PANANG - the seabass was cooked with perfection and the outside was slightly crispy. If you're in the mood for seabass, this is the place to go!
Now this is my favorite Thai restaurant in Houston ❤
One of the best Thai restaurants in Houston, if not the best. Notable dishes:
-Green Curry
-Duck Curry
-Zaab wings (amazing)
-Mango Sticky Rice
Service wasn’t incredible but the food was well worth bearing with the faults. Everything our party of 8 ordered was an absolute hit.
Fantastic massaman curry. Will definitely go back.
Wondering atmosphere with a variety of food choices.
Cannot go wrong with anything on the menu!
My favorite place for Thai! The crab fried rice is phenomenal! And the pad woon sen rocks!
Wonderfully delicious food! Our waitress was friendly and helpful.
Be aware of your choice of spiciness. I like spicy, but even the " medium hot" was a little too hot for me.
We just happened upon this place and it did not disappoint. It was absolutely delicious. We had the Pad Kee Mao and the Pad Se Ew and both were delicious.
The food is excellent in flavors and quality and the waiters are very friendly patient and welcoming 😀
Crab fried rice is amazing, red curry with chicken is fantastic, Tom yum was very good. Friendly service, welcoming atmosphere, best Thai food I've had in Houston.
Great neighborhood place! Food is amazing! Great prices. Staff is so accommodating! Definitely going be a regular spot for us!
The roasted duck curry was very delicious and I paired this with a hibiscus green tea drink. My friend had the mussman curry , she said that it was very yummy.The decor is unique and eclectic with a crazy mix of chairs and copper top tables (I like it) Definitely a nice neighborhood spot to go to when you want to eat out. A BYOB place for now.
Had the panang curry with shrimp absolutely delicious! I'd be careful with the spice level .. I got medium and it was perfectly hot! I highly recommend
Twice in one week.
Recently discovered this place. Love the curry and the Moo Ping, marinated pork. They were quite busy tonight with to-go but we didn't feel that severely impacted our dining experience. So many places are having staffing issues due to Covid, so we would always cut a little extra slack, anyway. We like that Bring Your Own Wine is available, we could pair a nice off dry white with our meal. Enjoy.
This place is sparkling clean and make you feel safe from germ. There are hand sanitizer, sanitizing spray and alcohol wipes everywhere plus trash can.
And as a Thai person. You can find authentic Thai food here. I ordered Papaya Salad, Grilled pork and Chicken Satay. All are fantastic. For SomTum with salted-crab fans, crab here are not too salty. They are pretty sweet. I love it.
Food is always hot and fresh and the service is always top notch. Definitely deserving of 5 stars.
Pineapple fried rice is a must to order!!! Food is authentic and extremely flavorful. They’re not stingy with having enough meat in the dish.
