The green beans are the best. The shrimp are big, but not quite seasoned as expected. The orange chicken came out crispy and saucy. The Thai fried rice is good, but even better with soy sauce added. The Thai tea is worth the try. Customer service was on point. A nice place to eat for casual dinner or a quick drink.
Let me start off saying this is definitely the only place I will be coming to from now on for noodles. This place blew me away completely. A customer service they provide is just outstanding. The noodles are full of flavor of the orange chicken was flavorful. Everything we were served was spot on and very filling. This is the first place I’ve been to in a long time where the flavors were fresh and I got full before I could finish my food. The servings and the amount they give is worth it. I would highly recommend that you at least try this place because once you do, this will be your new favorite spot. 10 out of 10 a highly recommend.
Loved the atmosphere, service was great as well. Waitress was super nice and very helpful to order since it was our first time.Had lunch with my wife and food was delicious. Ordered a double shot (strong)frappe mocha and my wife had a tasty mango smoothie to drink . Also order to eat orange chicken w/ fried rice and my wife had the lunch spice rice with crispy chicken.They both come with a house soup that was yummy and spicy. It was fire. Lunch portions were generous.If you're in Pasadena check this wonderful place out! Will be back soon .
My coworkers and I found this spot nearby our office so decided to give it a try for lunch!
The interior is nicely decorated and the staff were very warm and welcoming. The menu has lots of items to choose from but I decided to get their lunch item (drunken noodle with chicken). Lunch is from 11am- 3pm Mon-Fri and this comes with a house soup and crispy wonton skin.
Service was pretty fast and the drunken noodle was hot and savory with juicy pieces of chicken! Looking forward to coming back to try more items from their menu as well as the drinks!
From the moment we walked in, the service was absolutely amazing—attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home.
Now, let’s talk about the food: immaculate. The Pad Thai was perfection—perfectly balanced, fresh, and full of flavor. Every entree my family ordered was equally incredible, showcasing the authentic taste of Thai cuisine.
And the drinks? Wow. I had a Thai green tea latte and a passion fruit tea—both were heavenly and added a refreshing touch to the meal.
This place is a true gem! I highly recommend it to anyone craving authentic, flavorful Thai food with top-notch service. You won’t be disappointed!
After driving by a few times and wanting to check it out, we finally did. And wow, totally surprised by what it looked like from the inside. Way nicer than expected, considering the establishments that had previously been in this location.
Service was nice and food was great. Really, no complaints, and we'll definitely be coming back again to try out other items on their pretty extensive menu. Right now our favorite was the yellow curry. Yum.
Excited this place is in Pasadena.
I recently visited this new Thai restaurant in Pasadena after hearing recommendations from friends, and I was thoroughly impressed. The ambiance of the restaurant is stunning, with lush greenery and ample seating, creating a welcoming and vibrant atmosphere. The service was exceptional, with our waitress being both attentive and friendly.
We ordered the green curry, Thai fried rice, drunken noodles, and Tom Yum soup. Each dish was served hot and fresh, maintaining a high standard of quality. We requested a spice level of 5/10 across all dishes, and the restaurant delivered— the spice was no joke! Also got some of their signature drinks (Thai iced tea with foam and mango smoothie) and they were perfect for the hot weather - the restaurant can probably stand alone as a cafe with how good the drinks were.
This was easily some of the best Thai food I've had in quite some time. I highly recommend giving it a try.
Amazing! I unfortunately wasn’t able to make it to the opening but I brought my little cousin here today as she is expanding her palate and we wanted to try it out. We had a great experience as we were sat down immediately, had water brought to our table and had good conversations with our waitress. She was so kind & attentive all throughout the service and was willing to answer any and all questions to the best of her ability.
I appreciate all the menu items having a picture & a description so you are able to see what you are ordering, as-well as having a separate drink menu with pictures. My cousin and I both got the Thai Tea Signature & shared a Wonton Cream Cheese for an appetizer. My cousin got the Orange Chicken as she wasn’t sure what to get but it was really good. It had a nice crunch when biting into it and the flavor was great! As for me, I got the Red Curry w/ pork at a spice level of 5/10 and I really enjoyed it!
I will say that I haven’t had Thai food in a while so I do need to build up my spice tolerance again but my server was great in explaining how the spice level differ and maybe adding a bit of water to my left overs to help make it a bit less spicy. That being said, the serving sizes are big in my opinion and enough for 2-3 people, or if you want left overs for later.
Overall, 10/10 experience. I will be back again & hopefully be able to bring more family members.
Right away we were greeted by our server. We were sat down and the waitress helped us and even helped put my 6 month old into the high chair. If it hadn't been for the kindness of the waitress I would have left 1 star. We sat there waiting for a while without a menu. A couple later showed up were sat down got a menu and water by the hostess. Still no menu or water for us. We finally got a menu after asking for it. Then a minute later our waitress shows up asking if we're ready. We inform her we just got the menu. The entire dine in felt like we were forgotten about. By the end I had to get up and ask for a box and the bill. I will say it was not a good first impression of the restaurant even though the food was good. The hostess needs to do better. The waitress was phenomenal.
This restaurant is absolutely beautiful, with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The food is bursting with authentic Thai flavors, and every dish is cooked to perfection. The Crispy Spare Ribs Garlic and Yen Ta Fo Seafood were both outstanding, with the perfect balance of spice and richness. The service was friendly and attentive, making the whole dining experience exceptional!
We went as a family of 12 and loved it . Service was phenomenal & food was great ! Place was cute & very clean ! We will be back !
Our family got take-out and ordered two different pad woon sens, a pad see ew, and a spicy catfish with red curry sauce. Everything was delicious and fresh. The shrimp was large and cooked perfectly. The portions were great. We will definitely be back.
Had it to go and it was good portions, very tasty, and the staff was really nice!
Love this place! We always get the Pad See Ew with chicken and it’s my personal favorite so far. My current second favorite is the Drunken Noodle with chicken.. it kind of tastes like a supreme pizza though. I love it but if that’s not your vibe maybe go with something else.
Thai iced coffee is good as well!
We tried the Pad Thai with veggies and Chow Mein Chicken and didn’t love either one. They weren’t bad, just not as good as the Pad See Ew.
My family had a blast here! The food was delicious and the service was top-notch. We’ll definitely be back again!
Larb salad with chicken was excellent. Larb can be a hit or miss dish but Chang Yai used high quality minced chicken and it was delicious. Home made Thai tea I’ve cream was an unexpected treat. Kap kun!
I walked into Chang Yai and visually, the place was stunning. The waiters were very friendly. My only complaint was that the food was a bit too sweet for my taste.
The green beans are the best. The shrimp are big, but not quite seasoned as expected. The orange chicken came out crispy and saucy. The Thai fried rice is good, but even better with soy sauce added. The Thai tea is worth the try. Customer service was on point. A nice place to eat for casual dinner or a quick drink.
Love the mango sticky rice, it’s so hard to find places that sell it and it’s my fave dessert! So glad this place has it! I would say it’s a bit too pricey but then again it is quite a lot even so it wasn’t too sweet which I liked! I also tried the Thai green tea and it was amazing also not super sweet which I fairly enjoyed!
Food is on point! Decor is pleasant and there’s a cool desert bar/area.
Excellent Thai cuisine, superior and warm service, clean and welcoming atmosphere.
Chef and servers speak Thai. Makes me want to return to Thailand. Very tasty.
They will adjust the spice for you of course.
Nice servers, flavorful food.
A M A Z I N G!!!! This is by far THE BEST Thai restaurants I’ve ever been in Houston. My husband and I ordered pineapple fried rice, pork ribs and papaya salad. The flavors are very authentic and delicious! The staff are very attentive and friendly. I can’t wait to come back and try different things on the menu.
This place is incredibly delicious, and I think it might be the best Thai style food in the area - I am so glad they are nearby! I went there with two other friends, we tried multiple dishes (fried rice, fried taro, yellow curry, drunken noodles, and broccoli), and everybody absolutely loved their dish. Their food is not only super tasty, but is also fresh and quality, the service is attentive, and the place is clean. I will be coming back for sure and I will be recommending this place to everyone I know in this area. Super Yum. Grateful!

This Thai spot is such a gem! The staff is super friendly, and the food is packed with flavor and cooked just right. Everything tastes fresh and perfectly spiced—it’s like comfort food with a kick. If you’re craving something delicious and satisfying, this is the place to go!
Friendly staff and excellent food!
Service was fast and friendly I like that they don’t forget you after they bring your meal .
Food was delicious.
Big portions, decent food, great service 👍
Very good flavor. Good service. Might be the best Thai restaurant in the area.
The restaurant was very welcoming with a bit of flare. The food was delicious from appetizer to dessert. We ordered two dishes to share and both had the perfect balance of flavor and spices. The dessert was definitely the highlight for us - huge portions that we brought it home to share with the rest of the family. Definitely a gem in Pasadena.
We were welcomed with open arms and our server was more than helpful on leading us to the right dish. He brought some little cool plate wear for my child in which he loved. Good was fantastic the pad thai was absolutely amazing! It's a must pick. We also got a coconut curry soup. It was good but it was missing something. Coconut-Almond and Mango smoothies were tasty. Nonetheless I'd pay this gem another visit!
We had the pineapple fried rice and yellow curry. AMAZING. I wish I remembered to take a picture but the rice came inside an actual pineapple 🤯 so cute.
Awesome Thai food.....excellent curry chicken
Very welcoming and kind environment. The waitresses are very sweet and attentive. Second time here and the quality of food and service was equally as great. Also tried one of their smoothies this time and it was amazing. Really hope this place gets the at most attention it deserves.
Very good curry, and they don't hold back on the spice. The chive pancake was crispy and perfectly chewy. Will come again
Fantastic Thai food, will definitely be coming back.
First time here and enjoyed every bit! Food was very favorable. My brother and I got the fish cakes, seafood mix drunken noodles, pork curry udon, and Thai teas. There is no picture of the main dishes bc we ate that up! Definitley coming here again. Also, love the decor and theme they have. 🐘💚
Food was amazing!! Curry has great flavor and spiciness is perfect.
Service is fast and friendly. Explaining each entree made it easy to get what I wanted!
Will definitely return soon!
Best Thai food in Houston, service, & clean restaurant! Would completely reccomend!

Peaceful atmosphere. Very nice hostess. Food delicious!!!! First time here and will come back!
This is real Thai food. I am so excited that this is in our neighborhood!
My family and I stopped by for lunch and WOW! We had the peanut panang curry, coconut Tom kha soup, chicken noodle soup, jungle curry, and boat noodle soup. We also had a mango iced tea, Thai coffee, and an iced chai tea latte. Everything was amazing and great service too! I’m already looking forward to coming back.
We recently enjoyed a fantastic meal, and everything was delicious! I had the Boat Noodle Soup and it had a rich, savory broth with tender beef. My daughter had Coconut Soup was creamy and aromatic, with tender chicken and a zesty kick. For dessert, the Mango Sticky Rice was a perfect mix of sweet mango, creamy coconut rice, and a hint of crunch. The mango tea was refreshing, with a nice balance of sweetness and bold tea flavor. Highly recommend!
Came here to try something new and did not disappoint! Attentive and quick service, delicious soup on a cold day and incredible drinks. Definitely coming back with more family and friends!
This is like the best thai restaurant that i’ve ever been to. As a cambodian who eats this type of food I can validate this food is delicious authentic thai and everything is cooked homemade. I am truly blown away and so excited to have found a real good thai spot in houston.
Definitely recommend the pork belly as an appetizer
Firstly the decor in here is amazing! The crab Fried Rice was totally worth it you get actual crab lumps and a whole soft shell crab and the Avacado Smoothie was one of the best the honey just set it off that much more!
The food was great. The happy hour appetizer special really helped us try a lot of different dishes that were all tasty. Would definitely come back.
Loved the atmosphere, service was great as well. Waitress was super nice and very helpful to order since it was our first time.Had lunch with my wife and food was delicious. Ordered a double shot (strong)frappe mocha and my wife had a tasty mango smoothie to drink . Also order to eat orange chicken w/ fried rice and my wife had the lunch spice rice with crispy chicken.They both come with a house soup that was yummy and spicy. It was fire. Lunch portions were generous.If you're in Pasadena check this wonderful place out! Will be back soon .
Food was delicious and the drinks were amazing as well. I had the Thai iced coffee and it wasn’t too sweet but had enough caffeine to wake me up. I got a spicy level 8 and it was hot!! They do not play around with spice! Will definitely come back !
Stopped in for lunch and got the khao soi duck and it was wonderful! The duck was perfectly crispy and the curry was smooth and comforting. I really enjoyed my time here.
Great lunch deal! Tom yum soup, crispy fried wontons, and a an entree of your choice for 2 pages of choices. I had the drunken noodles with the crispy chicken and it was great (order spicier than you would think though). My friend got the fried duck Khao Soi and Som Tum salad which was a lot of food. Duck was crispy and fell off the bone.
We were looking for a Thai place in the area just as good as the ones we find inside the loop. (reasonable pricing with exceptional dishes)
After trying a few, this place was the best. So many dishes are great and it's worth it to come down and try a few.
This is our Thai place now and would recommend to anyone in the area 10/10.
Wonderful people, really good food. They really helped me out when I couldn’t get a delivery driver. She brought it to the hotel. Very nice people.
The staff were nice, but the food was mediocre. Food was bland, combination fried rice had 1 shrimp, fried rice looked & taste like Spanish rice.
Stopped by with my wife and son, were asked to have a seat…waited 15 minutes and were never waited on. The same waitress that told us to take a seat seemed surprised when I went up to the front to ask if I could have a menu. I told her never mind and we left.
Let me start off saying this is definitely the only place I will be coming to from now on for noodles. This place blew me away completely. A customer service they provide is just outstanding. The noodles are full of flavor of the orange chicken was flavorful. Everything we were served was spot on and very filling. This is the first place I’ve been to in a long time where the flavors were fresh and I got full before I could finish my food. The servings and the amount they give is worth it. I would highly recommend that you at least try this place because once you do, this will be your new favorite spot. 10 out of 10 a highly recommend.
All the food we tried was amazing and everything else looked just as amazing. The staff were super friendly and the vibe was great. 10/10 would recommend!
The food was amazing and the service was great. Reasonable prices and very accommodative for kids.
Service was great. Such a sweet server.
Thai tea and boba was good!
Wings- we got sweet basil. Flavor on the outside but not so much on the inside. I ate one and was done.
Pad Thai- we got level 5. It looked a littler weird.. I was hesitant. It wasn’t bad. But some noodles weren’t cooked all the way.
Pineapple fried rice- presentation is really nice. In a real pineapple. It’s really good.
Overall, I felt it was over priced. Especially for location etc. I’ve had similar prices in the city.
I think it’s a place that deserves a try and then go
From
There
Very nice waitress. Food is also great.
DELICIOUS food and fantastic portions! Extremely clean and cute place for any occasion with fantastic service (Sol was super helpful and very attentive). The egg tart made me fell like I was falling in love for the first time. The sweet slice melted in my mouth and the fresh berries made it PERFECT. I’m considering buying a whole one to bring to thanksgiving as the show stopper! That’s not all! The pad see ew tasted rich and flavorful with just enough spice. The juicy chicken paired wonderfully with the cooked to perfection noodles. the side of crispy tofu skin surprised me because it tasted so good! It also came with a side of warm citrusy vegetable soup of the day which I put some of the crispy tofu skin and was STUFFED!! for only 12.99 because of the lunch special until 3pm!!! Such a great value and amazing quality food.
This place is really nice and cozy! VERY polite and friendly staff! Would definitely come again. Food portions are pretty good as well! The food is really good. Even down the WATER! The atmosphere is quiet, cozy, nice to look at. Seating is comfortable as well. Nice little place!
Tried this new gem in Pasadena! The ambiance is amazing; it's beautiful and peaceful! The Tom Yum soup and crispy wonton appetizer was delicious our entrees were great as well! The coffee layered cake was phenomenal! Would definitely recommend!
Best Asian food in this area. I'm glad there is a place to get good Thai food in Pasadena now.
Wonderful 1st visit! We will recommend and be back soon
The service and the food are very good 100%
Excellent service, and delicious food, 💯 recommended 👍🏽
Best Thai Food in Pasadena
After many recommendations, I decided to try it out. Best decision ever. Got the pad thai and was impressed. Will definitely come back
First time here and we will definitely come back. Try the curry udon noodles with chicken!
Amazing place. Everything was perfect. If you like spicy go here! Curry was tasty and fresh. Pick your protein and spice level.
Great service too.
Chang Yai Thai is a fairly new restaurant in Pasadena and I can already say its without question the best Thai restaurant in the Pasadena/SoHo area and probably the best Asian restaurant in general in this area. Its run by a family from Bangkok and the range that they have is impressive! The restaurant is fairly small, tucked away in a shopping strip facing Crenshaw, and the atmosphere is casual with the dim lights and elephant mural giving off a pleasant, relaxed vibe (see below).
The menu is quite expansive, adding generic Chinese options, pho, and even fusion Thai-Japanese ramen dishes to go along with their Thai dishes. But to start, I have below pictures of their vegetable fried spring rolls and barbecue pork buns. The spring rolls are typical of any Asian restaurant but they're good enough- cripsy and fresh. I've been seeing pork buns being offered as appetizers at other Asian restaurants more and more, and these are similar to the ones served at Jinya, though these have chopped beef and are saltier/sweeter than Jinya's (these seem more like Sloppy Joe's for those old enough to remember).
The main courses you see below are the Ka-Pow fried egg and chicken Pad Thai. The Ka-Pow Fried Egg had caught me eye the other day so I tried it; it has ground meat (chicken in my case), green/red peppers, bamboo shoots, garlic, and of course, a fried egg on top. This was a delicious dish but very spicy! The Pad Thai, a flagship dish of Thailand, is also delicious and freshly made, and has very good portions! I've also tried the green curry which is delicious as well.
Now here comes my one criticism: consistency with the spice levels. At Chang Yai Thai they give you a spicy scale of 1-10, with, in my opinion, 1-5 really not being spicy at all. Level 5 maybe has a tad. Now I know Thai food is traditionally very spicy but I'll be honest with you: I'm a big wimp and not a fan of very spicy food. Sue me. But Level 6 here is a BIG jump from 1-5 and teeters on the edge of my tolerance. I had tried the Ka-Pow Fried Egg at level 5 and it was also teetering towards being too spicy for me at times, yet with the pad thai, it was barely noticeable.
All in all this is a fantastic, family-owned restaurant with great service and if you're in the Pasadena/SoHo area I can't recommend it enough!
Delicious shrimp pad thai, the place was beautifully decorated, and clean, service was excellent
I'm so glad that I dont have to drive 40 minutes for delicious Thai food 🙌 This place is amazing! I eat here at least twice a week. Ive had their teriyaki chicken, orange chicken, Tom Yum noodle, chow main and my all time favorite, the cashew nut, and they're all amazing! The waitresses are nice and attentive and the restaurant is always spotless!
Great service and good food
Amazing food great price worth coming an trying
Very nice and professional staff, coconut soup so good! Medium heat (was just right) on red curry chicken, so good! Pad Thai noodles were tasty as well followed up with Sticky rice with mango… Delish! All for $80 tip included; gave us about 4 meals.
Large selection of food and service was great! Cute atmosphere! Nice addition to the Pasadena food scene.
The service and atmosphere here is amazing. Food was delicious.
Everything here is delicious.
The staff is super friendly and very attentive. The food is delicious and big portions. Our favorite dish was the orange chicken and the ice coffee.
Definitely recommend!
Great food
Food is very delicious and service is great!
The service was great and food portion are big as well and taste great. Definitely recommend
Everything was great! Wonderful service and great recommendations for our first visit.
Will be back!
The service is good and the place is clean, but all the food had a weird aftertaste I couldn't figure out what was and never tasted it at any other thai food places and ruined the whole meal
After driving by a few times and wanting to check it out, we finally did. And wow, totally surprised by what it looked like from the inside. Way nicer than expected, considering the establishments that had previously been in this location.
Service was nice and food was great. Really, no complaints, and we'll definitely be coming back again to try out other items on their pretty extensive menu. Right now our favorite was the yellow curry. Yum.
Excited this place is in Pasadena.
Ordered to go Wonton Soup, Shrimp eggrolls, Chicharron larb, and spicy combination Tom Yum fried rice. The flavor of spice in the rice was a big miss & only included one shrimp. The eggrolls were very mushy & tasted almost like they weren't cooked thoroughly inside. My order included 1 soy sauce & 1 chili sauce.
The restaurant was pretty but the food could have been way better. Was excited to visit after reading the reviews but this first time visit was disappointing.
✨ Spectacular Give Me 14 of Them Right Now ✨
No but seriously, the food is amazing, service is warm and friendly. I had a million questions and they answered all of them with a smile on their face. I’ve ordered take out as well and the food is just as hot and delicious! My favorite so far is the coconut curry (spice lvl 4) and the fried taro (note: contains peanuts). I’ll keep coming back to try out the other dishes!
I ordered a wonton soup with pork belly. It was flavorful. But I also order a noodle pad plate with chicken. I asked for a level 7 spice it was not even a bit spicy. The noodles were extremely mushy and the flavor was sweet with lime. I gave a 3 star because I did enjoy the wonton soup.
The food here are all very good especially the appetizers and the Thai tea is one of the best Thai teas that I have ever had
Dine here for the first time. They are newly open, and we are thrilled to have a Thai restaurant in the area. The food is delicious with friendly service. Chang Yai Thai has huge menu selections. We ordered pineapple fried rice, beef larb salad, pat see ew, pork belly noodles, and fried pork belly (appetizer). My son loved the shrimp pineapple fried rice. The beef larb salad was really good, tasted very authentic, and can tasted the lemon grass, galancal, and lime juice, I enjoyed it. Pat See Ew was yummy too, but it's on the saltier end. Next time, I will request reduce sodium, maybe less sauce. The rice noodles were perfectly cooked, the beef was tender, and the entire dish had that mild smoky grill flavor, like homemade. I love this dish!!!
The fried pork belly appetizer, it was a little over cooked, too crispy, almost too hard to bite into. However, the dipping sauce complimented the fried pork belly well. I could drink the sauce, yes, it was that good. Lol
By the way, they have many drink and dessert options to choose from. We didn't have any, we were full. I do want to suggest one thing, they need to open on Sunday. This past Sunday we had family visiting from out of town. We brought them there only to discover that the restaurant was closed on Sunday. That was disappointing.
Great service and very nice atmosphere.
I ordered the Pad Thai very flavorful. The pork belly appetizer was delicious. Will be back soon!
After my Thailand trip, I have been CRAVING more Thai cuisine. After seeing this restaurant come across my social media feed, I just had to try it!!
I started off with the Sample Basket which had vegetable egg rolls, fried taro, chicken satay, wonton cream cheese, and Thai shumai. When I say that the satay was better than I have had in both Thailand and Indonesia, I mean it!! Everything on the sample basket was delicious!
For my meal, the waitress suggested I’d try Mama Tom Yum Stir Fries, as I have already tried three other staple dishes when I was in Thailand. Her recommendation did not disappoint! This was made to perfection!! I requested spice level 4 since I didn’t know their levels and it was perfect. FYI: Their scale is 1-10 with 10 being the spiciest. The waitress said spice level 6 or 7 is comparable to the normal spice level in Thailand.
My dessert of choice was the Watermelon smoothie, as it’s lighter & dairy-free compared to the other smoothies on their menu.
I will be adding this place to my normal rotation of outsourcing dinner. This is a must-try place!
Oh, and I don’t want to leave out the atmosphere. Very cozy, very modern, very classy. Check out the pictures!
Great lunch menu with at least 10 items I’ll go back and try. Great spice with their range being 1-10, had a 5 with my Panang Curry with crispy chicken, which was between 3-4 on a 1-5 scale. Anxious to try again.
The best Thai food I've had in Texas. I've tried a number of places and had the home-cooking, I can confirm this is the real deal. Amazing food, gorgeous interior, super friendly staff!
This will always be a stop on my Houston trips from now on!
Food is delicious and service is great.
Soooooo delicious!!! The food was fresh, delicious, and filling! The staff were so kind and attentive. And the atmosphere is just beautiful!! Highly HIGHLY recommend!! I will definitely be back!
From the moment I walked through the doors, I was impressed. The ambience was calm and soothing with plants elegantly placed throughout the restaurant.
The food was delicious. I especially enjoyed the Tom Yum soup and the Drunken Noodles.
Service was exceptional. They were very attentive and friendly.
The food was amazing
I order Pad see ew with shrimp.... recommended... delicious!!!
The atmosphere is fantastic and service is great
New Thai restaurant close to my house, good Thai food and lovely service.
We have been here twice since they opened and it was great both times. We tried the Orange chicken and the panang curry. The panang curry was so good.
I've gone here twice, once for lunch and dinner and it's great! Really tasty unique homemade desserts.
Great place
We were seated immediately upon arrival with happy, smiling faces. Our waitress was attentive and very nice. The food was really good, fresh, and came out in a timely manner. We also ordered pork and shrimp shumai that is not pictured and it was amazing. The restaurant is clean and nice on the inside as well. We’ll definitely be back!
Ordered chow main and Thai pad. Both plates were delicious. Prices are normal
The food was amazing. I got the drunken noodles with shrimp, fried pork belly and believe me everything was absolutely wonderful. This is a new restaurant in Pasadena and definitely a place to you should come try during your lunch break or for dinner, you won’t regret it! I brought my colleague (it was her first time ) and she thought it was amazing!!
Wonderful new restaurant in Pasadena! The food is absolutely amazing and fresh. Check it out
In the last month, I’ve gotten take out and dined in a total of six times and have always been very satisfied. The variety and quality of the items on the menu keep me coming back to try something new every time. The service and atmosphere is very inviting. I’m glad that I don’t have to drive very far to enjoy great Thai food. If you’re near the Pasadena area, you need to try this gem of a restaurant!
We were driving by one day and saw that they had put a new restaurant where the old Simple Greek was and we decided to give it a try and we were not disappointed in with our experience everything was absolutely delicious and I do believe that this is the best yellow curry I've had in the Houston area so far !
The food was delicious. I will definitely come back again.
I have been waiting for this place to open and I was not disappointed! For my first time here I tried the pad see ew and it was delicious. I chose a heat level of 4 out of 10 and it did not take away from the flavor one bit. Service was wonderful, friendly, and attentive. I will be coming back soon!
Absolutely love this place! The drunken noodles are a must try! The staff is attentive and kind and really helpful with the menu. I’ve gone two days in a row and regret nothing!
Right on the corner of Crenshaw right off the Beltway. This place is a hidden gem among Houston area Thai restaurants. We have dined here twice already. All the food has been authentic thai, and delicious. I highly recommend the pineapple fried rice, green or yellow curry, and drunken noodles. The service is fantastic. Each of our servers have been kind and quick to please. The restaurant also has amazing slices of pretty cakes, and a long menu list of smoothies and drinks. I love both the mango smoothie and the avocado smoothie. I highly recommend this restaurant for both great food and great service.
I heard from a coworker that this place had great Thai food. I had a long hard day and stopped in to get a curry and a mango smoothie. Everything is top notch here. Give the place a try!
The best restaurant in Houston I recommend 100% firts Starr Micheline soon is great
We had their curry and Pad Thai. Both were excellent. Best Thai restaurant I’ve tried in the greater Houston area.
Food is amazing and serving size is pretty good! Their pad Thai is simple, traditional, and yummy! It was so good I forgot to take a picture first. Pricing is very reasonable and the atmosphere is chill. I love their mural of the elephant!
My new favorite restaurant!! All the food is great d=(^o^)=b
Came here with my husband for lunch. We were going to originally eat at the place next door but something about the name and photos on the window of the restaurant caught our attention. We did not regret coming here. Food was delicious and service was absolutely exceptional. The place was is very clean; music at a good volume. Our waiter was so sweet. We will be coming here in the near future.
Wonderful food and service.
Overall great food and service is amazing! I had the chicken yellow curry and a Thai tea it was 10/10.
Atmosphere, service, and food were all great! Definitely will be coming back.
Food and service were great. Nice to have a little Thai restaurant in Pasadena.
First time here. Service was good staffs are really friendly. Food also was delicious.
