Thai Bird

Came upon this place the other day during a business lunch and I was VERY impressed! The fingers were awesome, the fried potatoes were artistic (really!), and the venue was very pleasant and open. My daughter is in town for Christmas and she is looking forward to visiting Thai Bird!Lastly: all offerings are gluten-free.

Cool place in the Make Ready Market. I'm a big fan of food hall areas like this, because of the variety and unique dining options they present. The vibe in the market was casual with fun music playing. Everything was clean and bright and felt nice and open. I went on a weeknight and there was hardly anyone else there, but I made my decision for Thai Bird. I ordered a couple tenders and the red curry corn to try something different. The tenders were very ... tender, and I enjoyed the sauces they came with. The red curry corn was good, but if I went again I might try one of the other sides.

Everything I got here was mid. I got the three tenders and the red chile corn. The tenders are huge and look delicious with the curry coating but there wasn't much flavor there. Maybe it was missing salt or umami(?). I liked one of their sauces but their other one was very smoky! Which was a bit odd to me because I don't associate that flavor with Thai food. Their corn was described as corn in a cup-esque. When we got it, it was soupy, which is what I expected. But all the corn I got were just so soft. It felt like the corn has been just sitting in a crockpot all day waiting to be served. If you like soft almost mushy corn, I would say order it.I did want to come back to try their fries and other sides though. The staff was nice and I'm hoping they will perfect their recipes because it has potential! This is the only place in the building where you can get wine though. It's BYOG which i thought was cute and they also had a happy hour listed!

We visited the Make Ready food-hall and tried a few places, so I just got 2 tenders with a side of red curry corn. This cost about $23 with tip.The chicken flavoring! It's really different from typical fried chicken and was a nice surprise at first bite. It comes with a side of sauce that reminds me of Vietnamese nuoc cham with a fish sauce flavor and chilis. For a chicken tender though, it was pretty dry and I wish there was an alternative sauce option. A peanut sauce would be great! The rice and cilantro were great because it helped with the dryness.I got the red curry corn to help with the dryness as well, but the flavors didn't necessarily blend together. The curry flavor was a bit more spicy so it would overpower the chicken when I ate it together.I liked the corn, but I think my partner and I prefer an elote corn flavoring more. This didn't quite hit the spot. It's very soupy.Overall this place was great and I'd definitely get the chicken again and try more of the sides next time.

Walked over for a lunch bite. I enjoyed this new Make Ready food court ... lots of options. Today, we tried Thai Bird. They have large chicken tenders with a crunchy coating and a Thai twist to the flavor. The dipping sauces were unique as well. My side was the curry corn .. I was hoping for a stronger curry flavor. My teammate had the fries ... super crunch coating outside and soft insides with a great spicy (not hot) flavor.The service was fast and friendly.Gotta love anyplace that dispenses wine like a soda fountain!!! Headed back for happy hour.

These guys are the reason I found Make Ready Market. I really wanted fried chicken but they don't make it gluten free usually. So when I find rare things gluten free I am an instant fan. THIS PLACE IS SO GOOD!! The service is amazing and consistent. When I went they had a special of the day. The restaurant is in a food hall. So depending on when you go it could be loud and noisy. But the food is worth it.

Decided to try Thai Bird on my first visit to the new Make Ready food hall that just opened up down the street from me! Super friendly service, was greeted as I walked in the door of the place, which helped in my decision making as not all the vendors were as friendly. I chose 5 tenders and a kale salad side. As you can see from the photo, the tenders are HUGE. I could have easily ordered 2 and been fine but I was happy for leftovers! The sauces they serve with the tenders are fresh and herbaceous and you can tell they make it from scratch. I asked for no cilantro with the kale salad and it was so refreshing. The food hall it's located in is brand new and it still has that "just moved in" feel to it. Just note that my tab came to over $30 for what you see in the photo. I personally got three meals out of what I ordered so it was a deal for me but some may say that's pricey for a lunch meal ‍ I say try em out at least once so you can form your own opinion! Shop local!

I have been eyeing Thai Bird since I got to San Antonio and I was NOT disappointed! My husband and I found Thai Bird at Make Ready Market Food Hall. The service was quick and painless, and the booth itself was really cute! The food however was ridiculously delicious! Hands down the best chicken tenders we've ever had! The tenders were so perfectly cooked and seasoned, you could eat them with no sauce and they are just as delicious, not to mention they were absolutely huge! They almost tasted like a satay style chicken tender which is something I didn't know I needed until now! The sauces served along with were delicious too! The flavors complimented the tenders so well! We also got the thai fruit and ginger pickles! Again, both amazing and everything went together so well. The fruit was sweet and seasoned so that it was the perfect salty/sweet combo. Everything was so good, I highly recommend going and giving them a try especially if you are into thai flavors! Can't wait to go back!

Been wanting to try and was finally able to head over the other week. Got 3 tenders and fries. Cute spot right as you walk in to the right. Tenders were big pieces the fries were as well they give 3 sauces which were all really good. It's great that it was all gluten free as well.

Wow! Tried this place on a whim and did not regret it. They focus on wings and serve-yourself-wine! The owner talked us through the process of ordering and grabbing wine as we needed it. The food was outstanding. Do note it is in a new food hall, so, it is a more laid back, casual atmosphere with other food options if you desire it.
