Anna Thai food
In Southwest Houston and hungry? Chinatown sounded great until overwhelmed by so many options. We had certain expectations about what to eat that day. Sure, there were specific things in my mind, like a table and a waiter, but the experience differed from what I thought it would. The fortunate incident was to get to the food court by the Hong Kong supermarket and discover the best Thai flavor experience in town. The display of products and the colorful setting are inviting and lead to the encounter of a friendly face, a warm greeting, and a surprisingly complete menu. We did not know what to choose, and Anna helped us walk through the options and gave us suggestions based on our likes and cravings.
We decided to order a beef Pat Thai and a Chicken Volcano. Anna asked us how spicy we wanted it, and I must mention that it was cooked to perfection. Despite the freshness, the order came out quickly, bringing an explosion of aromas and flavors to our table. They offer a variety of Thai teas and drinks to enjoy with the food. Of all the Pat Thais that I have eaten throughout my life, Annas is by far the very best. The Chicken Volcano is moist and crisp at the same time, fresh and spicy, filled with flavors I was unfamiliar with, but now I am obsessed. When we finished our feast, Anna recommended we try their mango sticky rice. We thought that a to-go package was needed, but instead, we got two more to enjoy there. I am still surprised by how much we ate. I have no regrets about the extra calories. The textures and flavors of the mango bathed in coconut milk, mixed with the sticky rice, were worth it. They care about their customers and take pride in the food they serve. The customer care and the quality of their products helped us forget that we were sitting in the middle of a food court and that, earlier, we had been hoping to find nice tables and a server to take our orders.
So, if I am with my family and we are hungry in Southwest Houston, we head to Chinatown. Do not let the mall setting discourage us from experiencing great food and fantastic service. If we are lucky enough to get help from Anna, we let the magic of her kindness and the fresh and outstanding quality of what they offer captivate us. It became difficult for me to think of another Thai option in the city because it surpassed all my expectations, and from that day forward, Anna's Thai Food became our number-one place when craving great Thai food. I would encourage everyone to let this hidden gem from this fantastic city take them by surprise and have them try the best Thai food H-Town offers.
