Ordered delivery from UberEats. The food arrived hot and on time. The egg rolls, red curry, and pad kee mao were delicious, but the Thai fried rice was quite bland. We ordered everything mild, but there was still enough flavor in the curry and noodles!

We visited this restaurant because it was close to the hotel. When we arrived it was very chill. They were playing classic Christmas songs and that was lovely. There was only one person working the front of the restaurant, which I was a little worried about being that it was a Saturday evening. The venue quickly started to fill up as we were waiting for our drinks. When a couple arrived with their children and requested a large table set up, we anticipated a big party arriving so we quickly ordered our food. Shortly after ordering, the rest of their party arrived which included another couple and their children. The younger child started playing a video game at the highest volume that sounded like a repetitive slot machine chiming over and over. It was so loud it drowned out the restaurant chatter and the Christmas music. Over and over again, this child sat next to their oblivious parents who cared not about the experience they were creating for the rest of the guests. Not sure what kind of lunatic allows their child to make that kind of noise in a restaurant but it was extremely inconsiderate. It grew to be so unnerving that I kindly asked the server if he could as them to turn the volume down. He replied, "I just take orders" and shrugged. Needless to say, we were just obnoxiously serenaded for the rest of our dining experience by the child whose parents lack awareness in shared spaces. The food was ok. I enjoyed the flavor of the pad Thai but I was a little disappointed by the shrimp tempura as it actually resembled a heavily breaded shrimp toast with a sliver of shrimp inside. The green Thai tea was my favorite. I hope to try this place again, without the arcade sounds blasting in my ear.

Solid Thai food that holds up even with a delivery.We got red curry with chicken and the beef pad see ew, both at medium spice. They had just enough spice to please me (and I am a solid white girl medium spice kinda gal) and my boy who can handle pretty much any level of heat you throw at him.

Thai Cafe is a moderately sized restaurant near The Post and offers very tasty and (I assume) authentic Thai food. The server promptly informed us of some off-menu specials and gave us some food and drink recommendations in addition to serving us water when we sat down. Understandably, Thai Cafe wasn't busy at 8:30 on a Wednesday so everything we ordered arrived very promptly. I ordered the boat noodles, my personal favorite Thai dish. I frequently order boat noodles (with beef if given a protein option), so I was very surprised that the server strongly discouraged me from trying it stating that many other patrons order it and request to swap the dish out for something else simply because it is not to their liking. As a self proclaimed adventurous eater, I did not waver and continued down my boat noodle journey. Contrary to the servers warning, the boat noodles were great! Spicy, fragrant, rich, and a slight tang to balance everything out. The boat noodles are served with fresh veggies (think traditional vietnamese pho accoutrements) which I added after a quick sampling of the broth. Pork cracklings and the crunch of the bean sprouts added a much welcome texture contrast as well. This bowl of noodles and soup were everything I would ever ask for to warm up on a cold (60F lol) Houston night. Parking is a challenge in this area of town, but if I've learned anything from this bowl of boat noodles, the persistence may just be worth it.

We traveled to Houston yesterday (from Kingwood) in search of authentic Thai. Found it! The red curry chicken with eggplant was fantastic. The server incredibly nice. And the place was so cute and warm. Highly recommend

Great way to kick of the new year with a spot I was introduced to & glad finally stopped in. The cafe is in a historic building, the staff greets you as you arrive. The interior is beautiful upscale feeling with hard wood floors. Went during lunch time on a Monday and it wasn't too busy. Being my first time the waiter took time to explain the menu. My friend & I looked over the menu but already know what we wanted. I got the chicken of Thai & my friend got the Thai fried rice. You can specify the intensity of spiciness from mild to Thai hot. The side salad, egg roll and soup of the day were brought within 5 minutes after ordering. The vegetable soup was flavorful and warm, egg roll had good taste and crunch to it. The salad dressing needed a bit more seasoning was my only reason for the 4/5 for this part. The chicken pad Thai tasted fresh and was hot. I asked for mild, but will be getting medium or hot on our next visit. I didn't try the chicken Thai fried rice, but my friend mentioned it did need some more soy sauce to add flavoring. Overall the portions were good that we both took to-go boxes. Looking forward to trying additional options and visiting again. Spot is good for groups or even studying. The music isn't blaring and place is clean and very welcoming.

I could have given only one star but after speaking with the waiter I was a little more understanding. My friends and I had dinner at this restaurant prior to seeing Howie Mandel at Jones Hall. I wasn't hungry but did order a Thai tea. My menu was over the two tables that were joined. As I began to move the tea toward the right, the glass tripped (fell) and the tea spilled all over. I hadn't even tried it. The waiter came to clean and told me not to worry about it. I did grab lots of napkins and cleaned too. He offered another tea. I asked if he'd charge me for a second one.He said he would. I was shocked. I hadn't even tried the spilled one and the uneven tables contributed to the gas tumbling. So at the moment I decided to not order a second one. It's $5. When the waiter came back, I told him that 99.9 percent of restaurants wouldn't charge me for the second beverage after having spilled the first one. The manager wasn't there and he said he'd pay for it. I told him he didn't have to. He told me it would be dishonest if he didn't pay for it after giving me a second tea. Honestly, I'm appalled. The staff at this Café need to learn about customer service. In the end, the waiter only charged me for one tea. I sure hope he didn't pay for the spilled one. That wouldn't be fair. The $5 beverage has lots of ice. I bet they are making a considerable profit and don't need to nickle and dime me from a spilled beverage. I hope to try their food when I'm downtown and upgrade my rating. My friends like this place.

I have no idea what they're thinking with this seasoning, but I just ordered delivery of this food for the first time. I got the drunken noodles which I've had at least 100 times a different Thai restaurants all over the country and this is the first time I've ever had one thats inedible. it legit taste like someone dumped cumin powder all over it. That's the only taste that I get when I eat. This is just cumin powder. They also dumped a bunch of green seasoning all over it something else I've also never encountered with this dish. I'm pissed because this cost me $35 tip and delivery and now it goes in the trash.
