Nidda Thai Cuisine

My son was craving some Thai food and we came to Nidda. We were immediately greeted by staff and everyone was so pleasant. They have a great team that is also synced. Meal was delicious and pricing was great!

This was my first time trying Thai food, amazing service, and the noodles were delicious. It had a great blend of flavors. I had the mango sticky rice for dessert . I will definitely be coming back.

Had a reservation for a friend gathering and overall service and food was great! Ordered a Thai tea and Yellow Curry with chicken and it was delicious, just at the right temperature and heat. Our server was very friendly and attentive . The ambience is also very cute for taking pictures! Would definitely come here again!

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!

I’ve had drunken noodles from countless places now and this is the best I’ve ever had. It’s very hard to reach a nice ratio of rice noodle protein, fried egg, and veggies, yet the did it so perfectly. They are not heavy on the rice noodle and provide a colorful choice of veggies, which is pleasing to both the eye and stomach. The noodle is well cooked and infiltrated with flavor, so is the chicken - yet very tender! The veggies are on the other hand, more lightly cooked and maintained all that fresh texture and taste. Not sure if the word still applies outside of molecular biology field but I would call this a really self-complimentary dish. The satay chicken is well-marinated as well. Well-done!

The food was decent. The Thai tea could’ve been a little better. The bathrooms are kind of small. Overall, the atmosphere is pretty welcoming and calm. The staff are very friendly.

It looks amazing inside, so fun and pretty. I got fresh rolls which were great, green curry was good but they didn’t ask about spice level, which I thought they would, and the Pad Thai was great but very chewy? I liked that a lot, but it might not be everyone’s thing.

I had the curry noodles, delicious and so much left over. Every protein that was in the dish was cooked to perfection (shrimp, tofu, chicken). Go here if you are in the area. I was working with a limited budget so I couldn't splurg like I wanted to here. But still delicious nonetheless!

This was my first time trying Thai food, amazing service, and the noodles were delicious. It had a great blend of flavors. I had the mango sticky rice for dessert . I will definitely be coming back.

2 stars because the staff was very friendly but will not be coming back because this duck entree was $23.50 and came with one piece of actual duck meat and two pieces of bone and skin.

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.

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!

Be sure to check out their special menu where I enjoyed their soft shell crab Thai currry chicken curry puffs for their appetizer! Great service with a smile!

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!

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.

Went there yesterday for the first time at like 7 ish , kinda of a late dinner but the place was empty. Kinda liked it though peace and quiet is rare these days. Waiter was the most chill guy ever and even made a excellent recommendation for me, I was going to order the seafood crab cake curry on there specialty menu but he suggested the fried pork and that was perfect for me I didn't leave there feeling stuffed and uncomfortably full and he didn't try to upsell me on something just because it sounded good. So mad respect to the waiter. The pork was perfectly crispy with some cucumber and tomato's (to clear the palate) and side of white rice and the nice glaze sauce. Also the Thai toast is definitely worth trying, I thought it was bomb. (There food has good flavor and is not over seasoned as a person who cooks regularly, I found this food here top tier)

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.

This place is amazing I love the food and the people!! The service is amazing and its clean and looks very comforting. Should check this place out you guys will love it.

The food was mediocre. I ordered a tofu, vegetable with peanut sauce dish. It tasted metallic like it was made in old metal pans. The rice was very dry. I will not return.

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!

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

Food is incredible! I placed a large takeout order and everything was flavorful, fresh, and a huge hit. The staff and atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be coming back here again, highly recommend!!!

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.

Great FOOD and service ! Clean beautiful decor ! Family run and operated ! We Tried the chicken satay and Ginger Chicken and they were delicious!

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

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.

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

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!

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 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.

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.

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

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.

the food was delicious!! I definitely recommend! I will be back again because those drunken noodles were amazing!

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.

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

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!!!!

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

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.

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.

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

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)

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 .

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!

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!!

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.

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 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.
