Ambiance is very traditional and service was good. The food was delicious, however the portion size was small. Full entree came in a small bowl. Also they don't do lunch specials. So, in that sense, it's not a typical Thai place but their flavors came out real well. We will visit again.

Amazing food with friendly service. Have been coming here for years. I don't think you can pick a wrong item on the menu. They defiantly provide more authentic Thai flavors on their dishes. Today I had my favorite, Pas See Iew. Perfect as always.The family running this place are always sweet and happy to see you.Nice and cozy inside. Quiet with a little music.Go here if you want great Thai flavors, you will not regret it.

This place appears to the be the spot for a lunch meet up. It's tucked away in a shopping center. My friend recommended we check it out. My favorite dish is pad woon sen... I ordered here but I can't say it was that good. We ordered shrimp spring rolls. They were good. Basic. My friend really enjoyed her meal but I can't remember what she ordered. I don't know if I'd come back as the food wasn't that great but I recognize that it may have been what I ordered. Try it. It could be a gem for you.

I was in Irving for a work conference and found ZENse nearby. The restaurant is small, with limited seating and a calm atmosphere. The owners greeted me and offered recommendations for what to try. I settled on the Veggie stir fry with tofu, medium spice. It was delicious! Service was great, and my drink was often refilled. I'd love to make a trip here again sometime.

I tried this fir lunch the other day. Though a bit pricey, that taste did not disappoint. I tried the beef Panang Curry and it was delicious. The meat was very tender and the curry was good, even though it was a bit spicy and I asked for no heat. Probably the best I've had stateside. The rice it came with was completely unexpected - it was purple with beans or something in it? Still, very good. I will visit again.

Small portions, Mediocre food, Long wait!!The kitchen is SUPER SLOW! Took along time for our food to come out even though there weren't a lot of people at the restaurant. The food was definitely not worth the long wait.

Came here while we were waiting for new tires. Husband suggested it and I didn't read up about it before coming here. Was so pleasantly surprised. It was great. The vibe of this place is very casual. The menu looks nice and balanced (I was sad they didn't have massaman curry). We got:Pork satay: it was 8$. The skewers were really small. I would avoid this dish.Steak salad: we call this yum nuah. Nice acidity. Steak was perfectly cooked.Pad see yew: my dish. The texture was great, the chicken was well cooked, the broccoli was soft, which is how I like my broccoli. I hate undercooked broccoli and this was great. They put the sauce where you can see the black beans in it, and I usually pick those beans out. Overall this dish was perfect. Would definitely get this again.Dessert roti: I don't like roti drenched with condensed milk so I asked for milk on the side. It was cooked so well and it was flaky warm and perfect. I would recommend this place for take out or a low key dinner.

Fresh ingredients, fresh food. I thoroughly enjoyed the Tom Yum soup. The Pad Thai was good as well, but it could use a little more perfection. Overall, great place to visit!

Zense is a hidden gem in Valley Ranch (Irving, north of 635). I've been a loyal customer since stumbling onto it years ago. It's a small, quiet restaurant tucked into a strip center on MacArthur, minimalist but stylish and charming inside. The owner, Vem, and various family members and staff are incredibly nice people, service is always friendly and attentive, and the food is prepared with care and amazingly good. This is definitely the best Thai food that I've found in this area. Recommendations... Appetizers: dumplings, fish cake, fried shrimp, summer rolls, satay. Soups: Tom Kha shrimp. Entrees: Ginger black mushroom stir fry, yellow or red curry. These are just what I order most often, but everything I've tried has been excellent, and the quality never varies. Last but not least, it's BYOB, although it's not a party place. See also the review in the Dallas Observer. Highly recommended.
