I am APPALLED that this doesn’t have 5 stars on Google. I am an avid Asian foodie and this is my favorite Thai place of all time. You HAVE to get the baby spring rolls and the crab fried rice. They are literally so kind there as well. Amazing service. This is my husband and I’d go to. If you’re choosing where to go, go here.

I got the Pad Kee Mao and it was absolutely delicious. Staff was polite and place was quaint. A bit on the expensive side but it was worth it.

I visited this place at least a half a dozen times as I've been working in Houston. They seem to stay pretty busy and have carryout orders constantly streaming out. Their lunch special is great and their regular prices are quite reasonable as well. Every dish of theirs that I've had has been fantastic. I especially enjoyed their tiger cry beef, ground chicken with basil, and chicken satay. Definitely try more than just pad thai, there are so many good dishes!

The food was delicious. The customer service was great as well. We ordered shrimp Pad Thai, orange chicken and spring rolls. They made sure all the sauce needed was in the bag. I wish they cooked the bean sprouts and the spicy seasoning in with the food but it’s still tasted great! 🥰

Food was pretty good. I ordered for takeout and requested curbside but it seems they aren't doing that. Very small restaurant with only a few tables, but there were 2 other people that entered same time as me to pickup takeout so it seems that's a large part of their business. The food was very good and the portions were large.

Small space. But very good food. Service is luke warm, but that’s how it is these days. I like to leave a tip based on friendly accommodating service. Had to cut back to 15% because main guy went over and sat down looking on his phone ordering people from kitchen who were delivering meals to get checks for our table and another. He was probably 8 feet from our table. Anyway, very good authentic Thai.

What it lacks in dining space is more than made up for in quality. Fresh food food served quickly. The lunch deal can’t be beat. Thankfully we just did beat the rush and got a table. Definitely a place to go and not be disappointed.

Among my favorite Thai restaurants in Houston. All the classic dishes in a no frills space. The food is all very flavorful - I particularly loved the basil chicken and pad see ew. Also of note, the restaurant is BYOB! Overall, I definitely recommend this spot and hope to come back soon!

Used to be a great place for thai food. The last time we ordered take out, the food was super salty. We were a group of three and all had the same feedback. Not sure if they changed owners or chefs but this was super disappointing. I actually rinsed and drained the noodles off with some water and recooked it to get rid of some of the sauce and salt but it was still too salty. Unbalanced noodle dishes.

This is my go-to Thai Restaurant. Amazing for choices, great prices, excellent service. They know me here because I always come back and dine in. I discovered a new dish - Pad Pet - oh, so good. Give this place 10/5.

November 22, 2024

Ordered Tiger Cry and chicken wings for pickup. The Tiger Cry was literally unseasoned, pan cooked, medium rare steak with steamed rice and veggies I could have made at my house. Same with the wings, just fried unseasoned wings in a generic sauce you could get at Walmart probably. Lame.

If you have a Thai craving, there are a lot of good options in Houston but after trying many, this is my official go to in the area. Really everything I ve tried is fantastic. I usually get take out but it s a cozy little dine in spot too for a casual lunch or dinner. I was debating on 3 or 4 stars on atmosphere but mainly because the space is simple and homy, not the type of atmosphere that gets attention or special notes. However, it feels quaint. This is a hidden gem all around and recommend for casual Thai.

September 22, 2024

I ve been here a couple times and had a couple different things (Pad Thai, Curry Noodles, Kao Tom Gai, and Tom Kha Gai) and each time it s been amazing. Their Pad Thai is the best I ve had in Houston. And though I m not typically a fan of peanuts, I really loved the rich nutty flavor of the curry noodles. My roommate and I tried the Kao Tom Gai tonight and were totally blown away by the flavor, I 100% recommend it. I genuinely feel like you could order something new off the menu each time you go and never be disappointed Dietary restrictions: They re pretty knowledgeable about stuff for gluten free diets. I ve never had any issues with my intolerance after eating here

I ordered take out from Morningside so many times. The food is always delicious no matter what I order. Best Thai food I ever had

September 22, 2024

I ve ordered from here before and it was good! But today something about the kitchen+pork is very off. If the restaurant reads this, please check your pork meat. The texture is too soft and the smell is too strong. This pork larb is full of ground pork fat and is the worst ive ever had. This pad prik khing the pork doesn t taste right. The green curry is honestly the worst ive ever had the flavor is bland and off. If you have new kitchen staff please train them better. Very disappointing, i will be throwing all $60 of this food into the trash

My first time eating here. I ordered the Ground Chicken Basil & Fried Egg entrée dish medium, so a little kick of spice but not at all spicy. Not a fan of the fried egg that came on top of the meal, so I tossed that. Nowhere in the Toast app delivery to add a note to take off egg. Food was good and fresh and arrived at my home, quickly. I will order here again when I want a Thai food fix.

I was blown away by the vegetarian soup. We shared a crispy red snapper dish that was superb. Service was perfect. Update 6/8/24: we shared a yellow curry that I find delicious but my companion found just ok. We tried fried eggplant as an appetizer, and its a winner. We also tried the fish cakes appetizers, and they were tasty & a bit different. I liked them a lot while my companion didnt as much. Were going to come back and explore the menu more. The rating stays a solid 5 stars.

Both dishes were filled with red pepper flakes and so hot we couldn t finish it. Pad Thai and Ginger Chicken are not traditionally spicy Thai dishes so we were not expecting it.

Blessed night. I had the Tofu Pad Thai: spring onions old and wilted, took off noodles hard and tasted slightly burnt, even had black chard pieces from pan. Crazy. Oily consistency and NO flavor other than burned taste and lime, that I tried to use to mask taste. Didn t work. Just for kicks because I wasn t eating anymore, I tried to mix and the noodles at the bottom of the bowl were all stuck together in the shape of the container. Had to pry apart with a metal fork, not the plastic that they provided as it would have broken. Called to get refund and advised that I would bring the entire meal back as there was no way I was eating it and they advised NO REFUND only credit. Asked for manager, said only owner asked for owner said that s the person that said no refunds said owners name is Champ but the last name is too long. I won t go back and if you know what I know you won t try it. Just fyi I don t like to complain but when they refused to return my money that was a problem. It was my first experience here and it was the worst ever, so what makes them think that I want a credit? I only chose one star because I had to wanted to give a negative # Worst Thai food that I have ever had, and my family LUVS Thai Food!!! Oh well business lost Be blessed everyone

Some months back my husband and I had dinner here. We ordered chicken satay and beef pad Thai. Everything was great till we got to the beef pad Thai. For some reason the beef tasted strange in a not so good way and even had a funky smell to it. I wouldn t even have fed it to a pet. When we brought it up to the waiter, he brushed it off and didn t do anything about it. I am a foodie and will eat all kinds of food. I m really not picky so for me to complain about food and not eat it is rare. Really wanted to give this place a second chance but the waiter just about did it for us with his lack of customer service skills. A shame that it s so close to our house cause we love Thai food.

So we usually get Doordash delivery or take out from here and its been a pleasant experience overall.. so this weekend we decided to eat dine in with the kids. When we arrived, there was nobody in the restaurant (this was around 530pm), and we were told to wait for a table (when every table was available). A couple arrived a few seconds after us and they were basically seated immediately. We finally got a table situated with a high chair. When we ordered our meal, my wife requested the chili-lime sauce that we frequently get on delivery apps and was told they dont sell that for dine-in and its an UberEats exclusive (HUH??). They said they would have to charge the UberEats price for the sauce (why cant you guys just say the sauce cost extra..? we would have been okay paying for it). After some back and forth, they came back from the kitchen mentioning that they no longer sell the sauce. The server/host (a youngish guy with glasses) was not very accommodating of my wifes request and insisted that there was no such sauce or it was being axed from the menu (this is completely false as Ill describe later). Okay fine, no sauce... so we go about ordering our food. We werent super hungry so I ordered a small soup with a thai tea and my wife ordered a soup entre to share with the kids and our friend ordered a curry entre. The server passively aggressively asked if thats all we were ordering when I feel like there was no mention of a minimum order amount and something like a minimum order shouldnt even exist at a restaurant like this. Also, when I asked for less ice, he mentioned the Thai tea would not have the glass full. The server/host was just very combative with every request we made and was a very frustrating experience for everyone. Water was not provided even after the Thai tea was served and we had to re-request the water. Also refills were offered only after we already finished our meal and had empty glasses for the majority of the meal (I had to take water from my kids cups...). Unfortunately, our out-of-town friend had offered to pay so I had no control over the tip, but for SURE, we would have probably opted for 10% or even no tip because our experience was so strange and uncomfortable on this particular night with this particular guy. Im not sure if he just had a bad day or what. We dont appreciate being lied too about the sauce either -- we literally just ordered the sauce along with an entre tonight on DoorDash and RECEIVED THE SAUCE, so please next time dont lie to your customers about a product that 1) you DO have at the restaurant and 2) you should be able to sell to dine-in customers?? I have never heard of a delivery exclusive menu item..... Ive seen what I presume to be the owner or restaurant manager during takeout pickups and presume none of this would have caused an issue if she was there on that particular night. In terms of food, I think the majority of stuff is quite decent. I would say the curry is a bit watered down to some extent, and the crab fried rice I wish had more flavor / mixed up more as it was more or less just white rice with crab chunks. Their pad thai is pretty good as well as their soups, and I think the Tom Yum is quite good. Its really hard to reconsider coming back to this restaurant or recommending it as a dine-in option after our experience this past weekend. Previously, we had thought this place was a pretty decent Thai restaurant near us with good value.

Good food in a small cozy restaurant. Curries are very good and come in good portions. They have a lunch special: select a Currie or a couple other main dish options (smaller portion that main entre) and comes with a little soup of the day and spring roll. Its a small place so it gets busy. Vegetarian options: Most dishes can be made with tofu or vegetables.

Ground chicken basil with fried egg was one of my best choices. Great taste and not much salty.

The food was excellent. Medium spicy was just enough pop without overwhelming and screaming for milk to cool it down. Had the Tom Yum soup and the drunken noodles. Ended with the delicious coconut sticky rice with mango.

This restaurant is very nice and cozy. Its nice for a relaxing lunch or dinner with a first date or catching up with a friend. The food is very good which is why I keep coming back. The service is excellent. Everything comes out tasting fresh and delicious.

We just got into town from a long day of travel. I have frequented this place when I m in Houston. I checked online and they said open till 9. We walked over and arrived at 8:22. Upon arriving we were told they stopped serving at 8:20. But we could order to go. I wanted to sit and eat. He told me then haven t updated their website to state this 8:20 rule. 2 minutes????? We reluctantly ordered to go and it was mediocre at best. I ll be finding a new Thai place. Insulting and rude treatment and a waste of my money.

I order the pineapple fried rice everytime. I m obsessed. My dog also loves the doggie rice with sweet potatoes.

They give me expired lime for the pad thai, which make the pad thai taste so bitter like medicine. Same with the tom yum fried rice. Never come back again

The pad thai was great, I love spicy chicken pad thai and this is one of the few places that has mastered making the whole dish spicy and flavorful rather than just getting a kick out of some chillies here and there.

Have tried so many pad thais all over Houston that are on the sweet side. Always request spicy but it s never done right. BUT this place has got it perfect. The flavors are so well incorporated. The yellow curry is so savory and hearty. My wife and I s new go to place.

Found this place via google search from our hotel. The food was delicious and wholesome. I usually checkout the restroom facilities of a restaurant first, since I believe if the restrooms are clean the food should be wholesome. And this place was. The item portions were generous, and the service was great. The prices are reasonable. I plan to visit this place in future again when I am in the area.

Came over for dinner. A little early, 7pm. Only one other person was there. I thought maybe we picked the wrong place. Started with drinks, good. Then we got our food, which also tasted good. Then within that hour multiple people came for take out and most of the tables got filled with people. Thought to myself, well now things make sense. This food is too good to only have two tables of customers on a Thursday night.

I ordered the pad Thai and spring rolls thru Uber eats first time trying this place and the spring rolls were okay greasier than used too and the pad Thai was horrible. I thought I was eating plastic at one point but thankfully it wasn t. I kind of wished it was however, because I didn t want to eat the rest of my pad Thai because it was that bad.

I am a regular customer here I buy many times to go and I dined in a few times. The majority of the time the the food is definitely good especially the curry. The ladies here are super nice and attentive. I can see that they love their job and trying to accommodate all the customers. My only concern is:There is a gentleman that works in the front who is heavy set that a majority of the times I came have such a poor attitude. He seems like he hates his job. As I dine in I tell him thank you and he just ignores me and does not have a smile. As my job deals with working with a lot of people this is just unprofessional and does not make the business any better. Maybe he is the owner? If he is he should hire more people like the women that work there to take care of guests. To get more customers it has to be a combination of great customer service and the quality of the food. With him being there sometimes I am hesitant to order with him for take out or giving tips when I am there (but since the ladies are super nice I do tip generously-since I want them to know they doing their best). I see that the owner does review this so I am glad there can be changes to this

I was staying in a hotel nearby and ordered from here for the second time. I ordered a cup of Tom Yum Gai soup and an order of Pad Thai, both at medium spice level, for takeout. The food was delicious, but I think my pad Thai got a double dose of whatever they use to increase the spice level, which I am guessing as a splash of chili oil. My medium spice Tom Yum soup had no perceptible heat, while the medium pad Thai felt like I was licking the surface of the sun. I was literally sweating as I finished it in my 68°F hotel room! It was all delicious, but I would have enjoyed it more if both dishes were prepared at a more consistent spice level. Overall, I recommend it, but maybe order an extra beverage just in case!

I got the chicken pad se ew level was spicy. I liked that the noodles weren t overly greasy. The spice wasn t as hot as I would expect so I was able to eat it and enjoy it. I liked the vegetables that were in it however I do think the broccoli was way too big. I also tried the fried banana and that was also pretty good. I think the honey really brings out the banana flavor of rich sweetness in it.

Food is great but I cant trust them to get a takeout order right. Ordered and prepaid a catering job, and on the designated pickup day/time, they hadnt made it yet. When I received my food, one of the items (soft rolls) was half quantity ordered. I called in to get that corrected and was later given FRIED rolls. Also, there was a previous incident where I made an order online and before I was able to pick it up, they handed it off to somebody else. I wrote a negative review then but the owner asked me to take it down.

Small but quaint place. Good food. Nice atmosphere. Give them a try! My fav is rice or glass noodles and fresh spring rolls. They do have them fried as well. Sister love Pan Nag. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options on menu. Parking: Small number of spots but many people arent dining in so they spots may open quickly. Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is very small but they can accommodate walkers and wheel chairs.

We arrived at 8:15PM and the restaurant closed at 9PM. We were told we can be seated. Once we sat down, we were told we had 6 minutes to order. We order less than 6 minutes and then got our food and was asked to pay for our bill before finishing our late dinner. We left right at 9PM. We understand that it was late and if we couldn t be serve, we would appreciated if he/waiter just decline our service or say they are close before 9PM. We did tip 25 dollars due to the fact that the lady who clean our table was decent.

My husband and I eat here a couple times a month. We declared it our favorite Thai spot in Houston, TX. Not only is the atmosphere welcoming, but the servers are so nice! We travelled to Thailand last year and can easily say that the food served at Morningside is authentic and just as delicious as in Thailand! We are impressed with the huge amount of choices on the menu and how fresh and tasty everything turns out!!! We will continue to dine in and carry out for years to come! If you haven t tried this spot, you are missing out! I never write reviews and just love this place so much.

I dont know how this place isnt a 5 star restaurant. It isnt boujie or over priced (which it should be but dont tell them this!) The service is amazing, I had a girl waitress and she was super sweet, the food was AMAZING (not everybodys pad thai is good, but here it is) the cheese rolls were to die for with the sauce. The thai tea was also very tasty. If I could give it 7 stars I would. Those who know, know and those who dont, dont. Be in the know !!

I am vegetarian and according to me there could be more vegetarian option in curry, noodles. If possible have more curry, noodles, pad thai kinda options for vegetarian which is without oyster, fish oil, no eggs. Atmosphere was really good. Perfect for a cozy dating place. Vegetarian options: We order yellow curry which was the only vegetarian curry option. It was good in taste except being tad bit more sweeter. I would recommend having more vegetarian options. Thanks!!

I was a loyal customer for the last 2 years. Always ordering to go. I put up with the food not being consistent and the bad attitude of the cashier because the restaurant is very close to my home, and I love Thai food. The last time I ordered food from there, however, I got food poisoning. I will not be going back. I would not recommend ordering food to go from this restaurant, especially when they are open late on Friday and Saturday for take out.
