Restaurant is located in a strip mall on US 59 frontage road. They offer inside and outside seating. When we came in, we were quickly shown to our table. We ordered our usual menu that we order in other Thai restaurants to compare. They are well known for their Panag curry where they have a Houston Chronicle write up. We started with the Tom Yum Shrimp. It was decent and had a good number of shrimps. We also tried the papaya salad and was decent as well. Next up was their famous Penang curry... I can see why it is popular. It's is very tasty and would recommend trying it. We also ordered stir fried pork basil dish which was ok. Lastly, we had the mango sticky rice for dessert. Thought it was better than most we had before. Mango was sweet and rice was sweet and creamy.Since our favorite Thai place suddenly shut down, we have been looking for a place to go. Definitely worth trying out.

This place is still the same as the last time. We went here right when they opened on a Sunday afternoon. Small area, lots of seating, and clean. All staff are friendly and very attentive. Service was fast and our food came out right away. All the food we ordered this time-- hit like authentic Thai dishes.Appetizers:Shrimp in Blanket-- 8/10 seasoned well, not as crunchy as expected and these are usually wrapped in egg roll wrappers, not breaded. Had a soft crunch.Fried Calamari-- 8.5/10 seasoned well and had more of a soft crunch. Crab Fried Rice-- 9/10 I liked how they had lots of lump crab meat. Some restaurants go skimp on the crab. Flavorful.Pad Thai Noodles-- 9/10 Authentic pad Thai flavors.Tiger Cry (Beef)-- 7/10 without the sauce & 8/10 with the sauce. Without the sauce was just grilled beef with no seasoning. With the sauce-- adds a little flavor. Beef Green Curry (MILD SPICY)-- 8/10 not a lot of beef. We love curry and this was really good with white rice.We still love this place and one of our go-to's for Thai.

Judging by all the awards and accolades on the wall, it appears the heydey for Thai Bistro was nearly 2 decades ago (#1). The place is reminiscent of many Asian establishments in this part of town: a diminished authentic experience semi-overpriced, and primed for the palates of folks in this part of town.On looks alone, Thai Bistro seems to stand out a bit more than the neighboring businesses. It shares the underpass of Summit Square (#2) with a good amount of al fresco dining outdoor seating options. Looks can be somewhat deceiving, as the inside is a little more tight than I would have imagined despite the second level seating. It might not feel super group friendly, but it's definitely got casual date vibes and lunch destination feels.Given how pricey the a la carte options (#3) are, I'd recommend the lunch special which was $12 and under for an entree, mini app, and drink. The options include items such as the bbq lemongrass tofu, pad thai, panang chicken curry, chicken basil inferno, and yellow curry vermicelli. I didn't find much of anything that exciting but we still ordered a heap of food any way.The tom yum was probably the highlight. The prawns were fresh, the smell was fragrant, and the broth was flavorful despite being crazy dark. The fish cakes were a bit of a bummer as they were oily and bland. The pad thai was passable but the penang curry was substantially better. Pad see ew felt average and the fried dumplings / spring rolls were a total bust. When it comes to appetizers, I'd probably stick with the satays or none at all.Minus the food miscues, the real kicker was the service. They were just so slow that it took longer for us to get our check than it did for us to eat our meals. It was hard getting someone's attention for usual things such as water refills or simply ordering more food. There were a lot of uncleaned tables at the end of service but few folks tending to them.I realize that I'm not the target clientele and that's okay. I think I expected this given everything, but it'll likely be awhile before I'm back. ___________(#1) 2006 / 2007.(#2) Exhibit A: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/thai-bistro-houston?select=U2eYGpP1q29VKf21TNCk7w(#3) $23 for some crab fried rice? Okay then.

Not many places you can get a meal for under $15 these days. The chicken Pad Thai lunch special really hit the spot. I went with medium which was still pretty spicy. Thankfully the service was spot on and they kept my water glass full. The lunch special came with a bowl of soup and a little side salad. Both of these things are rather average. I enjoyed the peanut sauce type dressing on the salad, and the soup had a good flavor. I don't have three course meals very often so I appreciate this little touch.

The food was okay. ordered pad thai chicken and shrimp fried rice. Pad Thai chicken was pretty good. It came with soup and salad. The soup was a no-go. Way too salty and oily. I don't even know what soup it was. The salad was good. We were so hungry and when you are in that state everything tastes good, but we could easily spot some things like the soup. The shrimp fried rice was decent. It was very seasoned. It was good but when I came home even until I was writing this review I was thirsty and drinking so much water. Oh, and the Thai tea I ordered was eh. It wasn't the taste I know, I think it was more watery and bitter compared to other Thai teas I've tried. And not a big fan of the paper straws either.Other stuff like easy parking, good service, clean tables, and sparkly clean bathroom too.

Solid Thai Place in Houston! There's always a decent number of people inside when I visit but it is never full enough to have to wait for a spot to sit. They do have an upstairs area for larger parties as well. The restaurant is inside a large plaza right off 59 so there are plenty of parking spots. I've tried a few dishes here. Their dishes are vegetable heavy. My go to is the Blazing Noodle vegan with tofu and veggies. They accommodate no fish/oyster sauce if you ask for dishes to be vegan. Their Panang curry is also delicious Their Thai Iced Tea is less creamy than other restaurants and not overly sweet.

I'm giving Thai bistro five stars purely because they are always consistent. The food is really good, but even better it's always hot, they never get my order wrong and the service is always the same. I just really appreciate having a go to place nearby that I can count on.

I have tried this restaurant twice, and I loved the food each time. Stopped in for lunch. The lunch special is served with soup and salad. Both had good flavor. Entrees we're on point in terms of flavor and level of spicy. I ate every bite. They offer indoor and outdoor seating. Service was good. Parking is convenient. Interior is small, but beautiful.

We were around the area and craving for some Thai food, so we stumbled into this cute little place.The environment is very chill, and European for us. We said it seems more like we were in an Italian or Spanish relationship.However, we started out with their assorted appetizers. I was amazed by their spring rolls. We both agreed it's the best spring rolls we've ever had. Not sure how they made it differently, but super yummy. The rest of the appetizers were 9/10 as well. Chicken satay is on the simple side, I wish we were more amazed by it.Then, we picked shrimp pad Thai and chicken lettuce wrap as the entrees.The shrimp pad Thai was not bad at all. And if you like spicy, I recommend to eat it with the dry chili powder.Unfortunately, the chicken lettuce wrap wasn't our favorite. I was hoping for something else, but if you like something lighter, this entree might be a good choice.At least the chicken was tender and juicy.
