Nidda Thai Cuisine

I always stop to enjoy a quick lunch when I am in the Montrose area. This place is always immaculately clean and has some of the friendliest waiters anywhere. The food is Delicious, comes out Hot with colorful and mouth-watering presentation, and the iced tea refills are done at the right time. If you give me them a try, you will have a great experience and will be looking forward to the next time you can eat there. Very well run restaurant!

Nidda Thai is a pretty restaurant with a nice atmosphere. The waitstaff was very kind and welcoming, with soft low music playing. It has nice big windows too. For my first time here I tried the drunken noodles and asked for it extra spicy, and they delivered! I forgot to snap a photo. It was not my personal favorite, 6/10, but I did also get the Thai tea which was FIRE 10/10. It’s possible I’ll like another dish way more next time. I look forward to trying out the yellow curry. I had the mango sticky rice which I really liked. It comes with coconut milk!

We came here a LONG time ago and the experience/food was fine. We decided to come back and try it after the remodeling and wow! The place is really cute and the food is now my favorite thai food in houston. The servers were really kind and we had a wonderful time. Going to come here a lot now. Happy to find a neighborhood spot that we love.

Finally, a solid Thai food experience in Houston! The decor is nice and spacious inside, and the most important thing: the food and service were quite impressive. The server was very helpful in making sure my first impression wouldn't be my last by suggesting the Curry Noodle. I always request the dishes on the hotter side, and the spice level was spot on. They have some unique specials worth exploring, which I'll do for future visits. The price was nice, and the food was on point, so that's all you need to know. Plenty of parking in the lot. The only reason it gets 4 stars is because while dining in, there's just a cluster of workers (maybe delivery or general staff) seated in this one area. Might be a normal thing for some spots in Houston, but I'm not used to seeing the workers just 'chilling' out like that. Nevertheless, I'd highly recommend if you're looking for Thai in Space City!

We drove from Dallas for their Mango Sticky Rice - and it was worth every mile. Forgot to take a picture before devouring. So so good! Five stars all around! Oh - appetizers and entrees are incredible too. Thai salad is delightfully light, fresh and delicious. Will be back!!

Overall the food lacked flavor. It was not bad, it was just bland. The fried rice and Chicken just didn’t taste like much. The staff was very nice and it was a well decorated place. The chicken and beef were cooked well but again, lacked flavor.

Absolutely soooo good Beautiful food and atmosphere! Love Boss Charlie and all servers were professional

This was my first time ever trying Thai food, and it was a great experience! I enjoyed the drunken noodles and mango sticky rice, recommended by the owner. The customer service was great and the atmosphere is very nice!

Nidda is a neighborhood staple. It's the place that first introduced me to Thai food. It used to be one of my favorites, but there's so many new spots, I hadn't been back in a while. So we decided to spin the block a few weeks ago. I ordered one of my usuals (crab fried rice) and it was good. I ordered it medium spice and it didn't taste spicy at all, but there was plenty of crab. My husband had the Basil Seafood and said it was good. Overall things weren't as flavorful as we would have hoped though. But I'm glad they're still kicking and I will always appreciate them for introducing me to a wonderful cuisine.

Wonderfuly fresh food! So glad we found this Houston gem! So good

Nidda is my favorite Thai restaurant in Houston. I have tried a couple of other places, but none compare to Nidda. The food is so good and authentic. Service is always friendly. I like the new remodel of the building. I felt like it was fine before, but I do like the new look. Feels warm and inviting inside. If you want GREAT Thai food, go to Nidda!

I stopped in at Nidda Thai for a Saturday lunch before doing some things around Montrose. The inside is so cute and peaceful. Soft Thai ballads are playing, there's greenery, fountains, soft pastel coloring, and good lighting - well thought out decor that transports you to Thailand. There's a bar inside as well. I had the crispy, spring rolls, jasmine tea and the green curry with shrimp (it's pretty mild but likely made for the American palate, I'm sure you could ask for a hotter level). The curry was very tasty, one of the better ones I've had in Houston, and just what I needed on an overcast, cool day. The service was excellent, the waiter was very attentive and courteous. I'd be inclined to come back again.

The food is so good here! Better flavor and portions than other Thai options in the vicinity if you ask me. The papaya salad and the classic Thai salad with beef are our go-to items, and we'll usually get a noodle or curry to go with it. The service is fast, attentive, and friendly. Nice quiet dinner or lunch option in the neighborhood

Tried out the Red curry + Pad Thai and an order of spring rolls. The curry was good, not spicy but good flavor, definitely a bit smaller on the portion sizes for the cost compare to some of the other Thai places around town. The Pad Thai was decent, with a nice balance of sweet and savory, and the toppings were well integrated with the egg. Service was good, a lot better for me than what I've seen on the reviews. Not too busy on a Friday night, decent size parking lot and cozy environment with a few dine-ins but alot of take out orders. Overall a decent Thai spot for the area.

I ordered the pad see ew through my work's delivery site and it was pretty good. I feel like this should be an easy dish to make but so many places still get it wrong. I asked for no spice but I saw a few chilis as if they started to add it then read my order. Fortunately it wasnt enough to notice. The carrots seemed frozen judging by the multiple shapes but they were plentiful and cooked well. The chicken wasn't dry although there could have been more. It wasn't a very big portion for the price but I will order again if I'm not able to get away for lunch.

Excellent drunken noodles pad thai, crispy spring rolls, and cheese rolls! I asked for medium spice and it was perfect! Excellent flavor. Great service. Easy parking!

Good food and ambiance, perfect for eating. Service was fast and speedy, food delicious as expected. Will come again

A decent Thai spot! My husband a nd brother in law got their pad thai, which they said was fine. I got their red curry and it was also alright. The service was good and the ambiance is casual. The portion sizes are on the smaller size and we were honestly still hungry afterwards. It's a decent place, but there are definitely better Thai restaurants in Houston worth trying.

We had ordered Pad see Ew, pad woon sen and the fried tilapia. I thought the food was pretty good although the Pad see ew and pad woon sen tasted very similar with a slight difference in the ingredients in it. The tilapia was not what I had expected so that was so so. Service was great and they had come check on us often. But one thing to watch out for is when you get the signature sign, to make sure that the tip is not prefilled. They said that the machine accidentally did so at times.

Anton was the nicest and funniest server! The pad Thai was spicy but Anton told us it would be, so no surprise there. Ambiance felt like a cute little outdoor cafe. Will be back!

One of the best Thai places in Houston! The pad se ewe is amazing. Authentic Thai food! The service & ambiance is great.

I've been eating at Nidda Thai since around 2010, and it has been my weekly lunch spot for a few years now. The food never disappoints. I've tried serval of the dishes on the menu but my go to for lunch is L-7 (Nidda Veggie) with tofu. The food has always been fresh and well prepared. I also like the seaweed soup which always taste fresh. The portions are just the right amount for me. The service has always been great when I've eaten here. I've never had any issues with poor service. The wait staff has always been friendly and attentive. Charlie always greets me when I come in for lunch and takes a minute to chat. I've been eating here long that he just knows what I want and has the order started once he sees be at the table. The restaurant is clean and the ambiance nice. It's quite at lunch which I like. On the occasions I've eaten dinner here with friends and family it has always been quite and inviting. Overall, friendly service and good food.

I love this place. Best Thai food in Montrose, try the red curry chicken it's awesome

Spectacular, on all fronts. The restaurant was wonderfully decorated and they played a genuinely delightful selection of Thai music. The waiters were smartly dressed and very attentive (all I had to do was lift my head and look a little perplexed and boom! they're there). And the food was the best part of all. I had a yellow curry with fried tofu-- it was exactly what I wanted. It was better than what I wanted! I really recommend this place. Kudos.

Overall great place. Friendly service and easy parking. The ambiance was amazing and it felt like I was eating in the forest. Drunken noodle 10/10, salmon 7/10.

I love this place, food is delicious, I got the drunken noodles with chicken and I come here all the time!!

The food and Ambiance of this establishment is so good. The menu is reasonably priced and extremely affordable. Staff is so kind. I think I found my new restaurant! LOVE IT!!!!

Me and my boyfriend were looking for a new Thai spot. Our usual spot is NUA thai, but I had my heart set on the cheese rolls that I had seen on Nidda's menu. Let me get this out of the way, the service was awful!! We got seated as soon as we walked in, but no one interacted with us for 15-20 minutes. I was looking around and it looks like they were prioritizing bussing tables over greeting customers. I tried to get their attention multiple times, but they avoided eye contact. When they finally greeted us with "Are y'all ready to order?", we were feeling impatient and hungry. My boyfriend ordered the cheese rolls and the server laughed in his face over a silly miscommunication about the quantity of cheese rolls we wanted. Food came pretty fast, but we had been finished for 15 minutes, and we're ignored when asked for to-go boxes. In all honesty, we were about to walk out, and finally we got the bill. Looking around I noticed many other customers looked fed up with the service. Pad See Ew was pretty good the veggies were just haphazardly placed on the dish. Noodles did not have the mouthfeel we were looking for as they were thin and did not have the addicting chewy texture we love. Cheese rolls were what to be expected, but really just crab rangoons in egg roll form. Probably wouldn't come back again.

I've been coming here on and off for 10 years now. When the strip mall closed for a remodel (and Covid?) I didn't think it would come back. But back it is. I can't say with certainty but I think it recently changed hands. The portions are bigger, the food is even tastier and the service is (still) great! We almost always get the chu chi eggplant and either drunken noodles, or pad si ew, but honestly we've never had a bad dish.

Love this spot! The ambiance is so quaint. LOVE the chu chee eggplant. I'm so glad they're back open!!!!

Was such a great experience and I loved the red curry! I will be coming back again!! The staff was super friendly and fast!

I really wish I could give this place more stars but I had a pretty terrible experience here, and I'll start with the food. I ordered the pad see ew and this dish should not be soupy. Mine was soupy. The noodles basically melted in your mouth without chewing at all, and that is not the consistency of what this dish should be. The chicken in the dish was not seasoned at all. The vegetables weren't cut to be bite size. The flavor was also not the flavor did what pad see ew should be. I did not even take a picture of the dish because i could not make it look appealing. 1/5. I did order the appetizer chicken satay and that was pretty good. 4/5. Service was pretty abysmal. There were 2 other tables eating. But I was not handed a menu for 5 minutes. And I did not have my drink order taken for another 5 minutes. The staff was busy cleaning up the restaurant and seemed like they had no desire to serve the customers. The waitstaff also cleared my chicken satay appetizer before I was finished using the peanut sauce to cover up the poor-tasting entree I got. Probably will not find me here again.

Food was really delish! We ordered Tom Yum soup, it was more on the sour side, eggplant curry, tiger cry, and drunken noodles. Everything was really good but it was not hot hot (like cook to order sizzling from the pan) Service was a bit slow (like mentioned here) The food was a bit salty. Even though these are my downs I'm still gonna give them 4 stars bc we really enjoyed our meal!

Time for an updated review.... So I've visited Nidda a handful of times since their remodel, so I have a good grasp of the restaurant. Here's the short version: food is pretty great, but the service is awful. Every time I have sat in the restaurant, I have sat down with no acknowledgment from anyone for at least 15 mins. This past time, we waited 30 mins since being seated for any interaction from anyone. Normally I would have gotten up and left after 10 mins, but I had my heart set on Thai food and didn't want to drive elsewhere. But honestly, that's unacceptable. It was a weekday evening, not busy at all, and it's a small place. The least they could do was bring us waters as they passed by our table multiple times. The eggplant dish is really what has me coming back. It's perfectly fried eggplant with a curry sauce drizzled on top. The curry is pretty good too. TBH their noodle dishes aren't my favorite. I've had much better at prob any other Thai spot in Houston. It's decent, bc of the convenient location if you live in the area. But I wouldn't drive out of the way to come here, esp with so many other great options in town.

This place is so damn good. The mansama curry, perfectly seasoned and the sweet potato well cooked. The drunken noodles was the best I ever had. The spice was perfect, for Thai spice. The chicken and shrimp was so so juicy. I got it Togo delivered which impressed me even more because the food traveled well. The spring rolls are okay. The entrees more than made up for them being Meep. Definitely order from here.

Love the ambiance and the food. Could go here every day if I didn't sometimes need variety. A neighborhood classic

Been working nearby for a few years- Mainly come in for lunch, sometimes as well for early dinner. Haven't had any issues or complaints dining in nor grabbing to go so far! Fairly reasonably priced too- I normally get noodles (Pad) or fried rice- I am not big on curry in general so can't comment how good those are.

I tried this place out a couple of years ago and it was just average...fast forward to 2022 and I thought I would come back to check this place out as the reviews seemed better since they reopened a couple of months ago. I ordered take out and picked up as soon as the order was ready. The only thing I was missing was the extra spicy sauce I had requested under the comments section, no big deal as I know it's easy to miss those instructions. My order was fresh and warm and packaged well. Food I ordered: - Pad Kra Prao (chicken sautéed with green beans, bamboo shoots, and carrots): I was expecting this to be like a traditional Thai chicken basil dish as the description states it is made in a basil sauce but it was anything but that. I barely tasted any basil and the dish itself was very oily. I do not recommend this dish. - Chu Chee Eggplant with chicken: the eggplant in this dish is battered and comes with a curry sauce which I got on the side, as I didn't want it to be soggy. I also had the option to include chicken with this dish and was surprised to see the chicken was also battered- I had assumed it would have been sautéed. It was not good and it tasted like I was just eating fried batter. The eggplant with the curry sauce was good though and I can imagine tastes delicious fresh, if eaten at the restaurant. - Drunken Noodle with chicken: This was just meh to me. The noodles were cooked well but the flavor was lacking. I wish they had included the extra spicy sauce I had asked for as this dish did not have much heat. I would definitely not get this dish again. Overall, the staff is nice and the food came out hot and was a good sized portion. The restaurant also has its own private parking lot which is appreciated in this neighborhood. Sadly, I doubt I will be back.

Cheap owner 1.75 for very small portion of rice Not enough to begin with and peanut sauce 1.00 Will avoid Food served at mid temperature Had to sent back to reheat mean While my rice was cold did nt Bother to replace it Ordered extra rice also came Warm . Not a good deal .

I ordered the Panang Chicken Curry which has become my go to dish. The flavor was good, it could have been more spicy. The shrimp we had was good. Service was a bit slow. Ambiance was weird due to a kids birthday party. I didn't think the price of entrees matched the portions. I don't see the value of coming here again.

You should go short and to the point. great restaurant. went for lunch good service food and ambiance Pad Kee Mao (one of the best in Houston) cream cheese eggrolls (good) Thai Tea (good)

For years I have overlooked this place. I was left heartbroken when my fave Thai place shut down. I tried other spots but something was missing. I decided to give this place a try & was pleasantly surprised. The curries , curry so hard and don't even get me started on the noodles. This is officially my fave Thai place!

I live in DFW but travel frequently to Houston. Nidda has the most unbelievable Tom Yum soup and yellow curry. I take both mine with shrimp but it's the bouquet and flavor of the broths for each. I crave them!

Made me wait, didn't even offer water. Had to wave him down. They need help. overpriced I got a Tom Yum soup thinking it would be a bowl, it was a cup and it was almost 8 dollars. Had many Tom yum soups and this one was just ok. Won't be back.

Wanted to try a new Thai place so decided to come here for lunch. Overall, we thought the food was just ok. The beef pad Thai was the best dish we got and the only thing we would come back for. The Thai tea was too sweet. The waitress though was very kind and could tell she was a hard worker.

Sam will take great care of you! His friendliness and hospitality makes my day every time, definitely a highlight to this one of a kind Houston spot. One of my favorite places for a freshly made and flavorful midday meal/snack! The delicious spring rolls can be made with chicken, shrimp, or tofu depending on what you're craving at the moment. The cream cheese rolls are an out of this world delicacy, you'll want to keep eating them! I tried the crispy Siamese shrimp the other day and it is now a new favorite as well. Pad Si Ew is a light yet very flavorful noodle dish with cooked veggies that leaves you feeling satisfied but not heavy. Always super quick service even for a sit down meal and very convenient for pick up orders if you are getting lunch during a workday. Highly recommend!!

Green Curry Chicken + Drunken Noodles Shrimp + Chu Chee Eggplant = holy trinity of Thai food!

Not authentic far from it. Egg rolls were soggy and I'm pretty sure they probably bought them at H-E-B and just deep-fried them. The beef in my dish was very chewy and I had to spit most of it out. The fried rice was just OK.

Attempted to go here the other night(a week night with three or four other tables tops going) We were sat at the table by a gentleman after standing at the door for a couple minutes even tho multiple employees were standing around at the bar within clear site of the door. Once sat we weren't given menus or a scan code to look at menus. The only people they seemed too concerned about was one table of the others and the to go orders. Highly disappointed. We ended leaving since we couldn't even get service while sitting in a fairly empty restaurant.

I have not been to Nidda Thai since they have remodeled/ the plaza in which they were situated remodeled, so naturally seeing that it was open again, I decided to order out. I ended up ordering my old favorites which I have noted my ratings: - The crispy spring rolls with the sweet chili sauce (1/5) The spring rolls just tasted dried out, like they have been made, left frozen for a while, and then deep fried. The veggies were not minced well enough and frequently found myself pulling away from the spring roll with large strings of soggy cabbage, which were just rather unappealing. The tofu was definitely spongy almost like couch batting, which comes as an indicator of how long it has been in the freezer. The only reason I have given this item a "1" is due to the sweet chili sauce. This is one of the better sweet chili dipping sauce I have tasted. I would recommend purchasing this sauce alone and going elsewhere for the spring rolls. - The steamed chicken dumplings with the ginger dumpling sauce (0/5) The verged on inedible and I did not eat these. I wanted to try them as they came highly recommended, but I would steer clear of these for sure. they are completely saturated in garlic oil and garlic chips. Garlic chips may have been a nice addition, but there were much too many followed by a large portion of the oil that they were cooked in making this dish over powered by the garlic, especially the unseasoned oil. If you can get past that you are hit with a very thin, flaccid wonton wrapper that also has its own "freezer burned/freeze dried qualities" that seems to completely fall off the filling, essentially making this "dumpling" into a spongy garlic meatball of sorts. - Cup of Mild Tom Kha Gai with steamed white rice (2/5) Lasting I did end up ordering the Tom Kha Gai. This dish wasn't that bad and the broth did have a nice developed flavor, but I have had better. The mushrooms added were pretty bland and tasteless and so was the chicken, but the chicken was of good quality (pounded flat with no chewy pieces of cartilage). Also I very much like the addition of the cilantro as it was not thrown in like an after thought, but simmered soft in the broth. Another disappointment was the fact that the rice did not make it into my order. Overall, I will not be coming back as it seems that the food has slipped in quality and these items are much too expensive for the quality provided. I would highly recommend trying Kin Dee instead. It might be more expensive, but around the same price point, but the quality is phenomenal and you will not be disappointed. Be prepared to wait a bit longer for the food though, and with that in mind you will definitely enjoy Kin Dee.

While the food we ordered to-go was delicious, we had to wait a while for our order and one order was made wrong. I hate saying that because it seems like such a sweet family business and they were apologetic, but just know that it may take some extra time to get your food. We ordered the panang curry, house fried rice, pad thai, and pad si ew were all very good! Note that Nidda's website says it's only open for takeout, but, when I arrived, they were actually seating people in the restaurant, and it's a cute place!

Ordered online. 2 hours ahead of time to pick up after work for family dinner. Card charged. Get to store and no record of the order. Lots of confusion despite showing receipt. Can't figure out what happened. Making food now with no apology or offer to make it right. Kids now won't eat until after bedtime. Won't be back no matter how good the food is. Avoid ordering online! ETA: Items missing when it got here. No spring rolls which were dinner for kids. Passed around phone several times before anyone who could refund for the rolls came on. Really disappointing.

Went there on a Saturday evening, it wasn't busy at all which was nice. The ambience is great the music really makes it feel cozy inside. However, the food is pretty mid tier. Both my dish and my girlfriend's dish were pretty flavorless and it came out cold. I may consider it again but that would be a long shot.

We came here with our two kids ages 10 and 8. We all really enjoyed the ambiance. The food tasted great! The 8 year olds said "The bean sprouts are so good". The 10 year old said" I love the taste of the dumplings and the Thai rice".

I've had this place bookmarked for a while but haven't had the chance to go since I'm no where near this area of town. I went to the zoo and came here for lunch with my cousin afterwards. They had no open sign and it was completely empty at lunch time which was weird but we opened the door anyways to go in. We sat down and got the pad kee mao, pad Thai, and Thai tea. The place itself is super bright, cheery, and modern with some Thai decor scattered around. The pad kee mao was 95% veggies and like zero noodles (the noodles were also cut up small which I didn't like). The flavors were great and had a great kick without being overwhelming or uncomfortable but my cousin and I were so disappointed by the lack of noodles. The pad Thai was very good and one of the better ones I've had in Houston. The Thai tea was creamy and refreshing. I drank it all up so fast. Will defensively be back when I'm around here to try other things, the menu was pretty extensive.

Great food, good prices - the service is generally good , however, is inconsistent. Love the curries and special dumplings. Great location!
