Asia Market Thai Lao Food

I’ve been to a couple Thai/Lao spots in Houston but this is my favorite. The restaurant is inside of a grocery store and there is also a bunch of snacks next to the register that you can purchase. My friend and I started off with the Thai tea and the Asia Sampler. The Asia sampler is fantastic because it’s meant for sharing and I love how you get to try a little bit of everything. I never had cheese rolls before but it was a pleasant surprise! The chicken satay was on the drier side but the dumplings and different sauces that came with were all fantastic. Honestly, for the variety and amount of food you get, the Asia sampler is totally worth it! For entrees, we both got the Kee Mao Noodles with chicken. I can’t remember if I got the spice level as Medium or Hot but either way, I was dying lol. This is one of those places where they don’t play around with the spices- a true Thai place! Even though I was fighting for my life after every bite, the noodle dish had great flavor and I couldn’t stop eating it. For one thai tea, Asia sampler, and 2 noodle dishes, it came out to around $50. Great prices, fast service, and great food- can’t wait to come back!

This is a hole-in-the-wall type of Thai restaurant-grocery store hybrid. I really enjoyed dining here because the food is very straightforward and tastes authentic. I got a classic green curry with chicken — the portions are very big for the price. The curry itself was spicy and creamy but was lacking a strong coconut flavor, which is my usual preference(I’m not sure what type of milk they used). Yet, I’d say this is a great spot for a no-frills authentic Thai meal.

my husband & i visited for the first time on a monday evening, not many people there, so we were able to walk in and place our order immediately. the guy behind the counter was really nice, professional and answered all of our questions about the menu. we had the lemongrass chicken bites, fried chicken dumplings, thai fried jasmine rice w/chicken and the sweet & sour chicken. we also had the green tea & lychee tea, really good! chicken bites were fried a little hard, but still good. everything else was great, we'll definitely try again😋

My first time come to this restaurant, my friend was really like this restaurant so she recommended me. I think this place is ok, not really excellent like I expected. Price is high but restaurant is not really fancy or nice decoration. Most of my orders were small just enough for 1 person compared to the price is so high. Taste is ok more sour, spicy and less sweet. Service is ok also

I was initially skeptical about this small restaurant located in a grocery store, but I was pleasantly surprised. They offered fresh coconut with tender coconut meat! We ordered red curry, pad thai, and drunken noodles, and all three dishes were excellent. However, I was somewhat disappointed with the dessert—mango sticky rice.

Came to explore Asian groceries around Houstan and we discovered this place. The grocery section is very small and has very limited options in term of groceries. Another part of this place served as a small restaurant that serves, of course, thai food. The food is okay and their service is fine but there's lot more room for improvement when it comes to the taste. We tried few dishes and one of it was Tom Yam soup, a dish that Thais are most known with. It was just ok. Nevertheless it's a good experience.

we wanted to eat Thai food and looked online and they said this place was good so we decided to check it out. it’s a market + restaurant so the vibe is very casual. we started with the drunken noodles with lo mein and tofu, and then got many other dishes. the dish was plentiful in terms of size and flavor. the dish was a bit spicy but not overly spicy so it was good. overall good food, flavor and atmosphere

Had a craving for SumTum and dropped in to pick up some green papaya from the Market. I haven't tried the food here yet but I will definitely be back. They had the green papaya I needed as well as some other items (pla ra) fermented fish sauce, sticky rice, morning glory, coconut milk n cream, they had it all. Thank you to the wonderful ladies who helped me today. I will definitely be a return customer 😉 here's how it turned out

This is both a casual sitdown restaurant and small market with a few thai/south east asian ingredients. They have some tables and you are welcome to take a menu and sit down, or you can order takeout by phone or in person. We came to dine in friday night ~7:45 and learned the kitchen closes at 8:15 sunday-friday. We were helped pretty quickly and ordered angel wings, boat noodles, and a red curry. All came out pretty quickly and were excellent. I really enjoyed my boat noodles and have been craving them for a while. Though it may not be the best I've had, the taste/price/portions were great and well worth it for me. The curry was also great and you could really taste the herbs through out the sauce. The angel wings were a slight disappointment as I was expecting stuffed thai chicken wings but they were very well flavored and so crispy that ultimately, I got over my disappointment. I may have found my Houston Thai spot and am excited to come back as the dishes were great and cheap, and I can also pick up some things to cook my own meals at home!

My dish was the fermented sausage and my coworker had the larb which is stir fry ground pork and papaya salad. Great flavor, sausage could use some more fermenting but I prefer mine to be more sour. Also cooked longer making it charred as it has more flavor. Not a fan of the papaya salad. It had too much of a crabby flavor to me. Overall will probably try other items if I'm ever there again.

I was looking for authentic Thai food. This restaurant answered me the correct one. Unfortunately, food flavor easy not stable. The first time I went there, everything was delicious. It was exactly what I looking for but the second time I went there, I order the same thing tum tad with salted crab but the server bought me regular papaya salad with peanut. Chicken had no flavor, need to dip with sweet chili sauce Beef jerky was good and my husband loved beef soup. There is a small market in the restaurant. The restaurant did not have alcohol, you can bring your own bottle.

It was good. We had it to take out. Their spice level is intense, so make sure you are careful with how spicy you make it. Flavors were good. Nothing was like the best. None of the dishes made me think of how amazing this is, but everything was fine and good.

Casual eatery with a grocery store in the back. Picked up drunken noodles and red curry from here! Portions were good and price was very reasonable. Great spot for take out Thai food.

We will be coming back to this spot to order a medium heat bc the hot sure was a kicker. All of the waiting staff were very kind.

I had no regulation of the food here anymore, so I tried the boat noodle from my review, and it was OK. Three stars for food and another for service. My friend's Tiger Cry and kee mao noodles looked good though. May also try the curry next time.

I used to really love Asia Market for quick, tasty Thai takeout but unfortunately the quality has really gone downhill. On the last several occasions that I have ordered, dishes have been missing several key ingredients. I ordered the tofu massaman curry and it was unfortunately prepared without any potatoes, sliced onion or peanuts. It just came as a curry sauce with carrots and tofu cubes. The Tom Kha soup (ordered without chicken) came as just the coconut broth with sliced mushrooms. Sad. Looks like I need to find a new takeout spot.

This unassuming market is a gem! I didn't know if its existence until a friend told me about it and we went and I'm so sad I didn't know about it earlier! There may not be a lot of frills but--as with this place--it's often a sign of the presence of amazing food! We walked in and found a table and the server greeted us. I was quickly overwhelmed with the amount of mouthwatering options. We ended up getting the beef jerky and soft spring rolls with shrimp for an appetizer and they were delicious! I opted for the Yentafo Pink with tofu for my meal since I never heard of it and it looked interesting. I was not disappointed! (Although I may have burnt my tongue trying to devour it too quickly....) The whole thing had great flavor and I enjoyed the tofu which was very flavorful (pretty sure it was fried before going in!). There was also plenty of cabbage and minced garlic adding to the deliciousness. Overall can't wait to come back and try more of the items on the menu! Oh and there's a market for Thai/Lao items/snacks in the back to check out!

Feb 7, 2024 came in from Galveston for lunch. Quaint little place. Clean. I had the Thai Lao bowl #11 with chicken [medium heat] I had spring rolls. My friend had some kind of meatball soup...hot level It was good ...but, not as flavorful as I like

This place seems to be super authentic. It's both a restaurant and a Thai/Lao market. Our servers were very attentive and helpful as we decided what to eat. We split some steamed pork dumplings which were good. My boyfriend got the Yentafo Pink Noodles. It was a super interesting noodle soup that we had never had and definitely something we would order again. I got the Kao Nam Tod which was not what I expected but was even better. It's like they took fried rice and threw it on a grill to get it super crispy and crunch. The flavor reminded me of Tom Yum soup too. I really enjoyed it. If we lived in Houston, we would be regulars here for sure.

The food is amazing. Very authentic and full of flavor. Smaller place with ample seating. Get here early because it gets busy. Definite thumbs up. My go to for Thai/Lao food.

For some reason it makes sense to operate your restaurant out of a grocery store. It just feels right in a city like Houston, or LA for that matter. **Note, my rating is solely based on the khao soi I ordered. Please do check it out if you're going to order something else!** Very solid Thai food, the spice level true to form, so stick with mild if you can't handle it well. The khao soi was good, with most of the ingredients I'd expect. I was most disappointed by the lack of a chicken drumstick but chicken chunks that were on the dry-side. Flavor is there and the prices are more than fair. Personally, I like Street Food Thai Market more, it's just 5 min / 1.5 miles away. However, definitely give this place a try and make the decision yourself, thank god for Houston!

The beef jerky here was the best damn thing I ate all day. God, I love hole in the wall places. This place is located inside a grocery store, how brilliant, if they need ingredients, they can just grab it off the shelf. The beef jerky came with some sort of dipping sauce but personally, it's slapping on it's own. Also ordered pad kee mao and tom saep to balance out a deep fried protein dish, a carb dish, and a soup dish. Prices are very inexpensive and they come out on those super Asian dishes that I remember eating out of as a kid. I would come back here if I was back in Houston. Tell me about your experience if you've been here or is going to after reading this review:)

I had this place bookmarked for a while. I was craving Pad See Ew and wanted to try a new place. I ordered the Pad See Ew with chicken and the 5 pc crispy egg rolls that came with a filling choice with and without meat. I chose the veggie & pork filling. I liked the sauce for the egg rolls. It's similar to what you usually dip Vietnamese egg rolls in and wrap with lettuce. Not as sweet as duck sauce, which I also enjoy. The egg rolls were crispy and faired well in the air fryer to make them crispy again the next day. It's mostly the wrap and not as much veggie and pork filling. The Pad See Ew had a nice stir fry flavor that comes from a wok, but it lacked in other flavors. There wasn't enough sauce. I ordered mild since I read reviews that the medium was too spicy. I should've ordered medium because the mild was basically nothing. I like that the chicken was sliced thin, and they used Chinese broccoli. I had to doctor up the noodles in my own wok and added cayenne pepper, red chili flakes, and oyster sauce since it lacked the sweetness that Pad See Ew usually has a bit of but not quite like Pad Thai. I ordered via Door Dash, so I can't speak to the restaurant service, but the food was delivered quickly and was still hot. Pricing for Pad See Ew is actually on the cheaper end compared to Mint Thai, Nara Thai, and Nua Thai.

Maybe I'm just biased, but it tastes almost exactly like my grandma's food, who was born and raised in Thailand. This is in regard to the traditional Thai food options. I will have to get back to you on other menu items. The menu is pretty large with multiple dessert options. I like the atmosphere even though it is nothing fancy. It's always pretty packed during normal dining hours, so plan accordingly! This has quickly become my go-to place to remind me of family. The little market part is fun too and you can pick up snacks to try later or Thai bakery items.

Another one of the best thai places in the loop. If you are looking for a no nonsense thai joint that has perfected the classics, this is your place. If you are not a spicy food lover be careful with their heat levels! they are definitely on the thai spicy side - even the mild had my nose running. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. I only wish they loaded our pad see ew with more broccoli. I can definitely see the place filling up quickly inside for lunch and dinner, and it's on the cozier side for Houston.

Omgg I love Thai Food so this is one of the best Thai Food in town. It is a Thai Market , and it was very busy at lunch time and close very early. I will comeback and try more food here

I've been coming here with my family for years, have introduced many boyfriends, friends, colleagues - everyone loves it. I feel like I have a good grasp on thai food in Houston at this point and this is by far my favorite. I like that it is no frills, truly. Hole in the wall, between a whataburger and an O'Reilly autoparts with few tables inside of a grocery store essentially. This food satisfies alll my thai spice cravings. They do spicy actually spicy. Always get the papaya salad, some variation of rice noodles, and a curry depending on what I'm feeling. Love eating it family style *the only way to do things IMO* They're always busy with to go orders but service is always great.

Great little place, tucked away by an auto parts store and fast food burger place. I walked in and they are packed full yet it's not hectic. At least four young staff taking care of people and they're doing an excellent job. Staff is friendly and efficient. I didn't have just one person waiting on me, everyone that walked by cared about my experience. Food is good. I ordered the Tom kha soup. I asked for a cup of the Tom yum soup and they happily brought it. Both soups are solid!! The Thai custard and sweet rice is pretty amazing! I'll be back. Great place to eat and I'm glad I found it.

After hearing (and reading) so many people rave about Asia Market Thai Lao Food, I had to make my way over. I stopped in on a Thursday evening after work. The place wasn't packed and I was able to place my order quickly. I took some time to go over the menu first. I ordered veggie crispy egg rolls and pad kee mao (veggie). I didn't love the crispy egg rolls they were a bit bland for me. The pad kee mao was delicious though. The food was fresh and hot- the way I like my meals to be! I'll definitely return to try some additional items from the menu. I love that you can shop for authentic Thai food ingredients to cook with, given that this is an actual market. The customer service was good also. One last thing- the prices here are very reasonable/affordable. I don't think I've ever paid so little for Thai food that's actually cooked well.

(3.5 star) Ka ree puff - $7.5, 5/5, loved this appetizer, super flavorful filling and the outside was perfectly crispy and flaky Chicken satay - $7.5, 1/5, not sure how it's supposed to taste like but it was dry and lacking flavor, I was drowning it in the peanut sauce (needed more sauce) Parang curry with chicken - $12, 3/5, curry was good, not particularly special but felt like it needed more chicken Pad Thai with beef - $11, 2/5, wish the noodles were bigger/wider, never had a pad Thai that tasted like this, it was ok. Beef didn't seem very high quality Pad Khing with chicken - $11, -/5, we ordered this hot spice level and I personally couldn't handle it so I couldn't judge it fairly, my friends seemed to enjoy it. Prices are good but food reflects the price. Service was great! Refilled our waters a lot. Pay at the front after you're done & they will split your bill however you like! Parking was easy on weekend at 6pm, not sure how it is at other times.

Had lunch here as this was the only spot I found with Lao influenced dishes in Houston. I ordered the following to taste test -- 1) Papaya Salad - Lao Style - Extra Spicy - with Green Beans 2) Tom Yum Soup with Seafood - Extra Spicy 3) Tiger Cry - Medium Rare (I know this dish as Crying Tiger as a Californian). Let me tell y'all, these guys are the real deal. The Uncle or Auntie chefs in the kitchen have to be from Southeast Asia because there is no way those recipes are not from generations of perfecting the Thai and Lao cuisine. The authenticity, spices, and flavors married with the quality and presentation of those dishes simply make up the perfect storm. The Tom Yum soup had a generous amount of spices, herbs, and lemongrass -- each bite was infused with so much sweet and sour flavor that it became addicting. The Lao style papaya salad had the right crab paste and fish sauce ratios making it true to the roots of its origin. I loved how it was spicy as I requested but not unbearable where it was hard to enjoy. Everything I ordered was true to taste and exceeded my expectations by far. Service was quick and friendly. Oh and bonus: these guys are also a mini supermarket with spices, sauces, noodles and more on the back shelves for sale. Further, there is a frozen meat and fish section that I didn't look too deep into. At any rate, stop in for a meal that will blow your tastebuds away and get some pantry stocking shopping in too. Plenty of seating for groups large or small to enjoy!

This establishment stands out as the most authentic Thai cuisine available in the area. Having visited Thailand on numerous occasions, I have developed a keen appreciation for the region's culinary traditions. The restaurant's exceptional attention to detail in preparing authentic Thai dishes, including the meticulous selection of chilies and heat levels, is truly commendable. Additionally, the staff's warm and friendly demeanor enhances the overall dining experience. A great joint with a small grocery.

Panang Curry w chicken. Pork and shrimp eggrolls. Lemongrass nuggets. Curry fried rice. Are a few of the things that I've tried here. The spicy sauces are just that. I am working on working my way up to the extra spicy. I'm at regular hot for the moment. Service was good each time I've been. Food came out really fast. And it was always crowded. I love it.

My wife and I dropped in for lunch and also picked up two dishes for dinner. For lunch, I had the beef Mama egg noodle and my wife had a type of beef stew with eggplant and green bean. My beef egg noodle tasted delicious with just a touch of over saltiness. However, the beef was not tender, very hard to chew. My wife's beef stew was very water down. It was more like a soup consistency. The sliced beef was not tender, very chewy. There were barely any eggplant and green beans. My wife liked the taste of the broth, though. We ordered the salty fish fried rice and pork lamb to go. We also picked up pork jerky for snacks. Pork jerky was excellent. It was tender, sweet and salty with a hint of heat, delicious. The salty fish fried rice was the star of the show. The rice was cooked perfectly and the salted fish was not overpowering. The pork laab was just ok, kind of bland actually. Prices were inexpensive and service was excellent. We had not decided rather to give it another shot if we are in the area.

We saw the end of the local eat show. We heard "Asian Market", googled it and Asian Market Thai Lao Food came up. Before heading out, we double checked and noticed a similar establishment. We decided to go to the Thai Lao because there were more options. The dinning area isn't big so we lucked out with table. We received menu, water, plates and silverware quickly. Within a few minutes, we placed our orders. They asked for our spice level. We asked for thai spicy for all of our dishes. We tried the Lemongrass Chicken Nuggets, which were deep fried. They weren't oily but we tend to avoid fried food. You can taste the lemongrass. We also tried Fish Laab with an order of sticky rice. It didn't pack the punch of flavor that we were hoping. The sticky rice was dried and hard so that was a disappointment. The last dish that we checked out was the Kaeng Phed Nor Mai with chicken. It was good but not a must-try dish. We also ordered kee mao noodle with tofu just in case we didn't like the others. It was the best dish, only wished there was more tofu and Thai basil. Their thai spicy had heat but it wasn't unbearable. Overall, good experience and reasonably priced. If we are in the area, we would definitely go back.

Order take out. Cute little space and had space to eat there. We got everything medium (this was a little spicy for my husband but a perfect amount of spice for me). Vegetable egg rolls: this was fresh and crispy Crab fried rice: this was a little salty for me but my husband enjoyed it Beef pad Thai : this was good . Dumplings: these were okay. They are chicken and soft Red curry: this came with a very small side of fried rice and a giant container of red curry Thai iced tea: so good it was the perfect amount of sweetness

Such a local gem! This place is tucked inside an asian market and has such a unique atmosphere. The service was very friendly and attentive and I got my food in short order. I ordered the Panang curry with chicken medium spice and it definitely packed a punch. Will definitely be coming back there to try some of the other flavors.

My rating from a few years ago dropped. While the food remains as tasty the prices, like at most restaurants, have increases. That is not the reason of my drop in score. If the prices go up that's fine, yet the service is not as good. The lady's service food or cleaning don't even let you know to just take a seat and your standing at the door along with the line of Togo orders. I like Asia Market but if this continues there are other restaurants... come on this is Houston!

Enjoyed the food, had take out but I know they were busy on Friday night! The cold Thai Tea was delish--obviously it's different anywhere you go--it was a 6/10 Tea wise. The Pad Ew was great, as was the other dish! Panang was good too.

We had takeout recently and really enjoyed the food. I was frustrated that none of the delivery services suggested through website would work. Everything was savoury and fresh tasting. We tried the green curry, a noodle dish and a few appetizers and were so happy. Quick easy pick up order based on their websites. Although it felt like menus was smaller than in person. Not a problem for me but the spice level was a bit higher than expected by some. Medium was already getting hot. We will certainly order again.

Tom yum soup was flavorful bustling with spice satay chicken was ok but not to die for pineapple fried rice was good but curry made an impact on flavor forget the service n enjoy the food half market half restaurant but overall go ahead n try the good food

Service was fast and friendly. We were greeted as we walked in, offered seats and given menus. They brought water to the table. LAAB - meaty and I am guessing lemongrass flavor, Kee Mao Noodle- My fav Kee Mao Noodle - lots of flavor soft with a tiny chew, Crab Fried Rice - tasty, green curry - we got medium a little spice- nice flavor and creamy good balance with curry & coconut milk, and fried tilapia - it was crispy but needed a sauce. It's a grocery story turned restaurant - family friendly atmosphere but limited on tables. I will definitely be back.

I've had this on my list of bookmarks for a minute, and I'm so happy I got to finally try it! My friend and I tried: -crab fried rice - I don't normally eat much rice, but this was actually really flavorful and full of crab -tiger cry steak - I loved the marinade on this, bonus points b/c the steak was made perfectly -crispy egg rolls - this was just average to me, I wouldn't get it again -thai tea - this was comped because the worker saw how spicy we were eating, so I'm super grateful :') but ultimately, this was more milky than I'd like The staff was incredibly friendly and super helpful as I asked for recs and knew I ate spicy, so they brought out an entire tray of spices (chili oil, pickled peppers, dry spice, etc). They do NOT mess w/ their spices here, spicy actually means spicy, yalll. Can't wait to come back to try their other dishes! (:

Hands down the best Thai food that I've had in Houston. It's a simple shop with a grocery store in the back where you can buy a variety of Asian and Thai ingredients to make your own noodles or curry. I've tried a bunch of dishes and my favorite noodle dishes are the pad kee mao and pad see ew. The pad Thai is a little more saucy than the other ones that I've had. You can choose your desired spice level, but just a warning- medium spicy is a lot spicer than you would think, so I think the mild is the perfect spice level. Of the rice dishes, is the pineapple fried rice. The food comes out very quickly and the staff are all friendly as well. Only complaint is that in the summer, it gets pretty warm in the restaurant even with the fans running.

It's no lie that there are a ton of great Thai food options in Houston. However, Asia Market Thai Lao is a cut above. I ordered a pad thai and a pad see ew to-go. There's plenty of parking out front and to the side of the place, and my food was ready quickly. The pad thai is the best I have had in Houston. It's so flavorful and the perfect amount of spice. I would recommend getting the mild and then asking for spice on the side so you can put the dry or the Thai chili oil to your taste. The pad see ew was similarly amazing. Portions on each of the entrees were large and the value was good (~$12 for each). Be sure to ask your server for the tray of spices to try their chili oil, dry spice, and everything else you can add to your dish (not that it even needs anything added).

With some of the most authentic Thai Laotian food in Houston, this place is not your usual restaurant. They are a grocery store with a tasty kitchen and a few tables with a delicious menu of freshly cooked food to server you. The people are polite and it seems like they love what they do. Beware of their spice levels- even if you think you can handle spice, think well before going beyond medium!

Came here on a week day night with a friend. I've tried the other competitor (similar name on Calvacade) several times and wanted to see how this compared. I'd say this location is just as good, but I definitely have to try other dishes to really compare. My friend has a low spice tolerance so we ordered mild for everything, but I think this is a great indicator of how the taste really is without spice overpowering the dish. The service was great, friendly and quick. They come around with little servings of their hot sauces to adjust to your preference. Ka ree puff - chicken curry puffs were good and they came out hot and fresh. Would recommend. Pad see ew with tofu - I thought this was the better dish of the two noodles we ordered. Flavorful even though mild. Didn't taste sweet, which is what I liked. Tofu cooked well. Would recommend. Pad Thai with shrimp - mild spice but it tasted more sweet than I liked... might have to try their medium spice next time. Would try one more time before deciding to recommend or pass. Mango & sticky rice - rice wasn't as sticky as I anticipated. Too much liquid, almost soupy. Mango was sweet though. Not sure if I would get it again. Thai iced tea - I'm very picky with my Thai iced teas and I felt like this was too milky and not enough tea. Wouldn't get this again. Overall, would come back again and try the other dishes. Service was quick and friendly. Parking isn't too bad. There's a small little market with snacks, curries, noodles, etc. Come here hungry. :)

Asian supermarket and restaurant in one Food is always good, but beware of the spice level!

If you want to eat Thai food, look at Yelp. This restaurant has good reviews. Must try again. I ordered Tom saep ,Tiger cry, Som Tum , sticky rice, Thai coffee and Thai tea. Everything is delicious, price is ok. Tom saep and Tiger cry comes with rice too. Eat full enough in one set. But if you want to eat it more deliciously, then you have to eat it with sticky rice. I recommend this restaurant. It's really delicious. Clean bathrooms and very good service.

The green curry and panang curries had a really great flavor but were thin and watery. I came several years ago and was disappointed at the curry, and was told it had to have been a one off. It wasn't. BUT- that Pad Kee Mao is the best I've ever had. Absolutely delicious! I want to try a lot of other of their menu items but will likely avoid their curries.

This has become one of my favorite Thai spots in Houston. The ka ree puff was a nice and crispy appetizer that started off the meal well, though it was a bit filling! I'm usually more of a pad thai person but the pad see ew here blew me away. It had a flavor and spice profile that beats any other pad see ew I've had. Definitely my favorite dish here for sure. Of course, the tofu pad thai was solid as well. I enjoyed how saucy the noodles were. As for the papaya salad, it was delicious but SOO spicy. I can't remember if we got hoot or Thai hot but either way I had to drink so much water and Thai tea to offset the spiciness! It was an addicting kind of spice though and I would definitely get it again. I loved that it came with cabbage to wrap the papaya in. I'm a huge fan of this place now and I hope to try less basic dishes the next time I come.

Ordered on doordash. I think their oil is a little old. My fried dumplings and wings were very dark and tasted old. The pad see ew was pretty good and with medium it was a good spice but the basil fried rice with mild had an old basil taste with little flavor without the spice. I do want to come visit the market for ingredients but the kitchen seems a little old.

Ate here last night at 6pm and it was not crowded. Huge variety of authentic Thai/Lao foods. I ordered the lemongrass chicken nuggets, pad ka prao and kee mao noodle. They did not disappoint and worth the hype. All tasted good, only thing is the chicken needs more salt seasoning other than that all good. Friendly service make you feel like you at home. Food also came fast. Reasonable price. Would definitely go back to try their other menus. Food 8/10 Service 9/10 Ambience 8/10 Price 8.5/10

One of our favorite go-to places for delicious Thai cuisine. The flavor is unbeatable and very authentic. Vibe is very down to earth, casual, family owned and operated, we love the atmosphere that is different from the vast majority of Thai restaurants in the greater houston area- definitely a hole in the wall. We enjoyed the Pad Thai w Tofu (hot!) and the Pad Kee Mao (mild) and the self serve chili oil, pickled Thai chilis, chili flakes, that are all offered in addition to your spice level- Perfect for those that like a bit of extra heat in their meal! We appreciated the very quick service despite a busy night they got us seated and served very quickly. Perfect place for carry out as well! We look forward to coming back more often to try their curry dishes! Tip- they can make your dish vegan- we really appreciated this because often Thai restaurants have fish sauce premade in their curry and other dishes so you cannot modify that. Thai Lao was very vegetarian and vegan friendly and adjusted our orders to be vegan, a huge plus!! Parking is with the autozone lot, so it can get busy at times, but is manageable!

Great find! The food was tasty and delicious, the staff were very kind. The restaurant is tucked away on a corner you would never expect.

Delicious food at a casual market/cafe. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Can't go wrong with anything here, but we loved the pad kee mow, papaya salad, green curry, and chicken laab. Unlike other Thai restaurants, the mild spicy here is actually no heat so order accordingly

Wow. The food is so good here. Thai tea - very authentic but a tad too sweet. Thai fried rice - wet fried rice and full of flavor Massamum curry - great portion size, needs a little more flavor but the chicken was so moist. Glass noodles - probably the favorite. We added tofu and the tofu was fried and good. Must go back and try more places.
