Thai China Bistro

Borders on five stars. Two of us, Saturday night; they're slammed with takeout orders. We had crab puffs (good, pre-made), tom yum soup w/tofu (very flavorful, raw ginger), and Thai Pineapple Rice (delicious-- best we've had).Service was good, and the takeout order we placed for friends was a bit delayed. We'd go back. Sometimes Thai+Chinese means that one or the other cuisines suffers, but not here. Flavorful, fully fresh (save the crab puffs), and well-presented. Pretty amazing for a shopping center setup. Recommended.

I got Green Curry with tofu for take out. The portion size was bigger than I expected, but was reflected by the cost. There were big chunks of tofu, which I liked. The green curry was rather mild. I prefer a little more heat. The owner is friendly and greeted me when I entered the restaurant.

Awesome little place! My daughter and I wanted something different. We came in was immediately greeted and sat. My daughter ordered the melon boba and I had the coconut Boba. The sweetness was perfect. The Bobo was soft and chewy the way it's supposed to be. I ordered the garlic veggie lunch without the rice. It came with an eggroll and a soup. I picked the hot and sour soup. The veggies were good and the soup was just delicious. My daughter tried it and she really liked it. I ordered the papaya salad. If it's not something you've ever had before, it is a unique taste like kimchi. But I enjoy it. It was fresh and just very refreshing. This was the first time I had papaya salad that had like bits of green beans in it and I enjoyed the crunch. My daughter ordered the pho. That broth is just amazing. She got it with the tofu I liked it. She probably would've enjoyed it a little bit better with beef. And at the end, my daughter got mango sticky rice because she's always wanted to try it and she just loved it. The restaurant is small with limited seating but we were the only ones in there and I was very surprised because the food is fresh, the place is clean and the people are just so nice.

Our experience was not great. The one plus was our server was nice. We ordered a few appetizers and a beef noddle dish. Our appetizers were small, 4 coconut shrimp, 4 tiny dumplings and 4 mushy egg rolls. The noodles in our Thai dish were overcooked and it was mainly veggies vs noodles. Throw in a Thai tea and house salad and our bill was close to $60?!? The food was mediocre and portions were small. It was a huge disappointment. Never returning.

I actually stopped in this plaza to go to Wingstop. I happened to park in front of this restaurant and since I hadn't tried Thai Bistro before I figured I'd have a seat. I asked the super friendly gentleman who came to my table what he suggest I try. He recommended the Bangkok Delight. It. Was. Delicious! Very crunchy vegetables, tender flavorful chicken AND SHRIMP?! I ordered pork pot stickers and they were truly the best, most fresh potstickers I've ever had in my life. I saved half the meal so I could eat it AGAIN later. Fantastic service, beautiful food. Fairly priced. 10/10

Amazing place, best tofu I had in a long time. Service is very friendly, the waiter specified the vegan selections. The ambiance is cozy and we loved it.

Just have to give this place another shout out. The soups are amazing. The Thom Kha is out of this world!

I had a block of time between morning errands and a manicure appointment, and it was lunchtime. Asian food sounded great and I remembered Thai China Bistro had recently relocated to the east side of town. So there I went. The restaurant is small, located in a mini strip mall at Broadway and Pantano, with plenty of parking in front. Only two spaces were taken at 12:30, so I nabbed one in front. The hostess/waitress greeted and seated me at a nice wood table with little metal chairs - no cushions. She promptly brought me the ice water I wanted and a menu. Lunch specials change each month, and January's are Chinese (maybe other months are too, just different Chinese offerings). I was more in the mood for Thai, so perused those pages and decided on a cup of Tom Kha soup with shrimp and Thai chicken lettuce wraps. I love Tom Kha soup because the coconut milk contributes such a lovely flavor; but this broth was very thin, watery, and I expected a richer, more luscious consistency. Four large shrimp, perfectly cooked, were delicious, as were the mushrooms, so the soup was a mixed bag. The lettuce wraps arrived and smelled great. Several leaves of crisp romaine were nestled next to a large mound of ground chicken and chopped vegetables. The flavor was good, but needed seasoning and spice. I asked for some chili oil and that added some kick. The onion, cabbage, and peanuts provided a tasty crunch, but the dish lacked sauce. There was, however, a puddle of liquid in the bottom of the dish. A cornstarch slurry and some spicy seasoning could have turned that liquid into a savory sauce to tie it all together and add some heat. Again, a mixed bag.I had eaten at Thai China Bistro several years ago, at their Grant location. The service is still good and the food still average.

Bluf: excellent general tao and pad see ew. Service was friendly and attentive. Nice clean and new looking restaurant. We don't claim to know better but have traveled the world and enjoy all kinds of amazing food. I had the general tao's chicken and the vegetables were crispy and fresh. The chicken was hot and crispy. The sauce was amazing and I have found my new Chinese and Thai spot. My wife had the pad see ew. The noodles were cooked perfectly and had a great savory flavor we expected. The chicken was tender and moist. Veggies were perfect and so was the sauce. It's been hard to find a good Thai place since Chef Dee closed Senai, but this is our new spot for sure. We had some steamy hot pork egg rolls which I could have had like 20. Super good and nice starter while our food was made fresh! Lastly, the service was so friendly. The owner was super attentive and talked to our 10 month old. He asked our plans and we had a nice conversation. 5/5 would recommend.

To go order: warm welcome as you walk in the door, professional front of the house and solid Thai food. Clean little mom and pop restaurant worth a visit. I had papaya salad, green curry chicken and pad see ew with shrimp. Next time, I'll try the pad Thai and larb, though I'd also like to try the Chinese side of the menu.
