Rim Tanon

This is the best Thai place I have tried so far in Houston. Even Texas. Authentic flavors and perfectly prepared dishes. Had Crab fried rice and Rim Tanon Noodle. The crab fried rice even had wok hei. Highly recommend both! Their sauce bar is top notch too. Service was fast

If I had to say anything negative it would be that there’s not enough seating during busy times. Apps, dinner, drinks, and dessert were all excellent! Fresh ingredients and freshly made to order-delicious Thai food.

The drunken noodles, and crab fried rice were a little on the bland side. Pad Thai and curry was good. Papaya salad Lao style was not that good. The girls loved the Panang curry. The coconut ice cream and sweet rice with mango was terrific.

Had high hopes but the food fell short. I love my Tom Yums and that is the deciding factor… but it was too intense and the chicken was weird boiled dropped in with mushrooms. The protien didn’t have any taste and i ate the soup for its heat and i was hungry. Satay was okay… chicken has nice flavouring but the texture was a bit weird… the portions sizes are okay for the price they charge, it could be a bit more. Overall satisfactory food not sure if I will be back again. Maybe during a happy hour.

Its a smaller place with amazing food and expertly made cocktails that I nearly missed out on. Ended up getting the curry and the spicy, yet creamy flavor of the meat and curry had me practically begging for a second helping. If you're looking for a nice little spot with great service, even better food and a comfortable atmosphere with friendly staff, this is definitely the place to be!

It has been a year since I last visited. The inside dining area still looks the same with roughly 14 dining tables/booths that seats 2-4 people. There is also an outside covered dining patio. We were seated inside for a party of three. It felt like we were dining in an igloo at 60 degrees. Be sure to bring a light jacket or ask for patio seating if you get cold easily like we do. I noted that the menu has been updated, more variety including a special menu item - boat noodle soup $16 where you can choose pork or beef for an extra $2. It tastes great, even cane with a side of crispy pork skin and a spicy dipping sauce. The salmon rolls and Thai sausage were great starters. The pad see ew and the Rim Tanon noodle soup are both good too. Service was quick for seating and getting our orders placed. It took a while to get someone’s attention for the latter part of our dining experience, to ask for a to-go box and to order desserts, to get our check along with a refill on water. Restrooms are clean. Parking here is limited with another restaurant and bar in the same lot so carpool if possible.

Had the Spicy Salmon appetizer, Pad Kee Mao with beef, and Mango shaved ice. All were amazing. Service was on point. Cozy and comfortable inside. Great place especially for a casual date night.

4.1 - Chicken Wings. Crispy and crunchy. 4.7 - Khao Soi, chicken. Cilantro, onions, pickled greens, lime, and shallots on side. 4.7 - Massaman Curry. Has potatoes. 5/10 a lil spicy but good. 1.0 - Meatballs, beef. 4.5 - Panang CurryChicken. No potatoes. 3.5 - Pad Kee Mao. No vegetables. 4.9/4.0 - Pad Thai. No chives. No lime. No bean sprouts. 3/5 too spicy. Comes with shrimp now. 1.0 - Rim Tanon Noodles

Out of the several Thai places I've tried in Houston, Rim Tanon doesn't quite reach the standard that other places have met. I must qualify that statement by saying I've heard the curry was good here, but I got drunken noodles anyway - perhaps my rating would change with a different entree. The drunken noodles were quite oily (and the oil tasted old) and without much flavor. The texture of the noodles were still good, but they didn't quite make up for the overall lacking taste. The fun atmosphere and the quick and mild service did add to my overall experience however. For dessert, I got the Thai style shaved ice with half and half of the green and red sauce. They didn't taste too different to me, but perhaps I was distracted by the variety of toppings in it, especially the corn (can't say I loved corn in my shaved ice but that's just my opinion!). It was fun to eat but I probably wouldn't get this again. Overall, I enjoyed Rim Tanon and I'd come back to try another dish for sure!

I came here to catch up with some old friends who invited me out. I brought my own meal in a small tupperware because of dietary restrictions, and it was in plain sight from the moment I walked in. Nobody said a word until right as everyone else's food was coming out -- that's when staff suddenly told me I couldn't eat it. I didn't argue, just said okay and left it unopened. There were seven of us at the table, and I was the only one affected -- how is one person quietly eating their own food really a disruption? I still ordered an unsweet tea (which I barely drank) and got charged $3.75 for it. Also, they sat our group in a booth and stuck me at the very end -- in a spot where there wasn't even supposed to be a chair. It felt like an afterthought, and honestly the whole experience just left a bad taste. Won't be coming back.

I have dined here at Rim Tanon several times and have enjoyed my meals until my last visit. I went with a group of 6 on a Thursday evening and we were able to be seated pretty quickly. I ordered the Pad Kee Mao, aka Drunken noodles, which is my go-to Thai dish. Although I have ordered it from here before, this visit's was subpar, unfortunately. The chicken was dry, the noodles were a bit bland, and at the regular spice level, I could not taste any spiciness. I had to ask for some chili oil to add on top. Others who had ordered 4/5 spicy could not taste the spiciness either. Parking at their peak hours is nightmare-ish. Unless you are very lucky, you will have to circle the tiny lot or park on the street. The atmosphere is very cozy and a great space for a date or small group hangout.

Great food with good ambience. We sat out on the patio and definitely felt the Texas heat beating down on us. The tofu pad se ew was tasty and the red curry was flavorful as well. Wasn't a huge fan of the chive pancakes but I'd be willing to give them another try. They also had delicious drinks (not pictured) that I'd certainly come back for as well

There is no shortage of Thai eateries in the inner loop but few are as popular and as well regarded as Rim Tanon, located in the heart of Upper Kirby. Many Thai folks I've known have regarded this as one of the city's best contemporary Thai options and I would be hard pressed to disagree. One of their most memorable traits is having a wooden replica Thai style building, complete with abundant outdoor seating, a group friendly layout, and a bustling Thai speaking staff that can get overwhelmed night in and out. The ambiance is vivacious at times and chaotic during other days. I've learned not to call in during these peak service hours and would recommend ordering from their website instead. The wait times can be long during their busiest nights and thus the dedicated waiting area in the lobby is clutch. They consider their food to be modernized Thai and the flavors are on point. The standouts for the starters would be their satey ($10) and salmon rolls ($9). THe latter is so good that I'd consider ordering it every time. I would also consider ordering a soup, be it tom yum ($9-10) or their "light soup" ($9-10). Their papaya salad is a bit paltry at $12, but there is a spice kick that definitely hits, which is in all the salad options. While I don't love the portions for the crabmeat omelet ($18) or pad kaphrao ($15), I do appreciate the heat from any of their curries, especially the panang and massaman curry ($15-17). The khao soi gai ($17) was a nice surprise and the pad see ew ($15-17) was quite good. Pad thai ($18) lovers may find the noodle dish a tinge sweet, but the chili powder and lime cut through it quite well. Beware of the parking, which is a dedicated lot but a tight squeeze in every corner. Big cars should stay home. Group dining sessions should be reserved ahead of time and this is definitely ideal for a casual lunch or dinner date. An ambiance suggestion: I do hope they consider rocking some kind of Thai pop (#1) instead of the ad-laden trendy music that tends to get airtime. It's awkward to listen to elevator beats before it turns into a random Geico commercial. ___________ (#1) May I suggest some Ploychompoo or Tata Young?

My experience at Rim Tanon was good but not exceptional. Overall, the food was solid but I felt that after I paid + tipped, it should have been just a little bit cheaper. The servers were friendly and very attentive. The atmosphere had some cool elements but did not blow us away. However, I would still come back!

Easy five star review. They were very busy so the customer was a little tough at first but they got better. I almost gave them four stars but the food was phenomenal and I understand they were busy. Food: the drunken noodles were simply amazing. Every bite was top notch. Probably the best drunken noodles I've had in houston. The food was so good I ordered a side of satay chicken. I'll definitely come back. It was good I came the next day. I got the pad Thai which was phenomenal. My uncle got the railroad fried and it was amazing too. This is definitely my new favorite restaurant for Thai. I'll be back asap. Like asap block Yuri Be advised. They get very busy on Friday. Parking is hard and the place is small. Great food nonetheless.

Food was great. Wonderful service. They bring CC machine to table. Party of 3 and we shared food and all was excellent. I had Pad Thai and I was able to make 2-3 meals of the entree. They default to no spice unless you ask for it. After adding pepper it was much better. They also donate to charitities.

Jando's (Yelp's Community manager in Houston) review really hits the spot and I feel like much of what I say is just repeating his. Decent parking lot size but the spots are tight and during peak hours, it can be hard to find a spot. Do not bring a big car! And carpool/make a reservation or prepared to wait if coming with a large party. For all the popularity, the restaurant size is small and I do hope they one day move to another location that's larger because the wait can get quite long during weekends/peak hours. Despite the busy time we went, the service was actually really good. Servers were nice, attentive, answered questions well, and the food was brought out very quickly. I really respect how hard working the staff are here. Food-wise, my favorites are the satay and the salmon roll. Thai papaya salad definitely has a kick but not sure if portion size is worth it for the price you pay. Expecting more spice for theIr curries so if you can actually handle spice, order 1-2 levels above what you normally get. Flavors overall on point. For the inner loop area, this place is good if you want Thai food though maybe come during off-hours or early.

I came here for the first time Saturday night and ordered the Pumpkin Red Curry with chicken. The meal was very delicious, had a thick n fairly sweet coconut milk gravy, great basil aroma in the blend and abundant chicken pieces that were all very soft. The pumpkin pieces were big and creamy in feel like potatoes, but some pieces were undercooked and not tender. The entree was overall very good and the rice on the side was generous and very fresh. Great, friendly service. I will return in the future.

Food here was great. Got the pad kee mao, Tom yum, and mango sticky rice. Pad kee mao was delicious especially since it had the green peppercorns. You know a Thai restaurant is legit when it has the green peppercorns!! Love them. Tom Yum soup with chicken was good. Flavorful broth. Mango sticky rice was okay. The mangos were alright, definitely the sticky rice was better. Overall enjoyed the food here and would come again. Parking here is a headache tho.

Finally, I got to try this place after hearing so much about it from my friends. Parking is hectic and tiny. The food was very disappointing. Nothing was bad, but nothing was WOW either. I think one of the original partners split from them and might have taken his recipes with him or the cook. Salmon eggroll 5/5 Beef meatball 2/5 Sausage 3/5 Crab fried rice 3/5 Tiger cried 3/5 Pad thai 3/5 Panang curry 3/5 Mango sticky rice 3/5 Mango shaved ice 2/5 Service was exceptional. The light fixtures need to be dusted! It was disgusting that I can see the spider webs and dust white sitting in the booth while eating. The light fixture is pretty low. I won't be visiting here again unless they get a new cook or the old recipes from their EX partner.

Legit Thai at good value. Authentic flavors, large portions at a decent price. Great for family or a group of friends. The service was attentive and friendly. They take your order on their iPads and walk you through all the options. Most dishes can be customized with your choice of protein for no cost. No up charge for beef or shrimp. How crazy is that. The Houston restaurant week menu is an even better deal for only $39. You can choose from many of their full sized appetizers, entrees and desserts. We got the beef satay which comes in large serving dish and was tender and flavorful. We also got the chicken wings which were also tender and flavorful. They came in a deep bowl so they stayed nice and hot. We got both the Tom yum and Tom kha soups with shrimp. Both were large portions and authentic flavors. The third course we got the Crying Tiger, Pad See Ew and Massaman Curry. All were ginormous portions. The ribeye was very flavorful and tender, but a bit fatty. I don't mind since it's a ribeye but others may not want the fat and grizzle. All the desserts were good, but we liked the coconut ice cream the best. The Mango shaved Ice was also very good. The Thai style shaved ice is more traditional but less popular with the kids. Parking is a bit of a challenge sometimes because of the other popular restaurants next door.

Went for lunch with some friends and absolutely loved this place! We got the pad thai, panang curry, and the railroads fried rice and everything was delicious and reasonably priced. The pad thai was super flavorful and I really like how they have peanuts and extra chili poweder on the side so you can really customize the flavor to your liking. (8/10) The panang curry was so creamy and had the perfect amount of sweetness that kept me coming back for more bites. (8.5/10) The rail road friend rice was also packed with flavor. If eating out with a group I would definitely get because it is a crowd pleaser and comes in a decent portion. The service is quick and friendly. The parking lot is a bit small but there are places to park near by. Will definitely come back when I'm craving thai food!

My favorite and go-to Thai place! The place is small and has a small shared parking lot so that can get tricky but food and service definitely make up for that. I've dined in and order to go many many times! No issues. I love the crab fried rice! Best thing on the menu in my opinion. Lots of crab meat and just very flavorful. I would also recommend the pad kee mao! Those are my usual orders. I've ordered the chicken wings, the satey, the skewers, and the crying tiger before which were also tasty. I will say the sticky rice isn't that great and in general get hard very quickly so I'd still to just steamed rice. The desserts like the sweet rice and mango or the shaved ice is yummy. The service is always quick and I had a friend's birthday dinner here where they accommodated a big party and let us bring a cake.

It has been a year since I last visited. The inside dining area still looks the same with roughly 14 dining tables/booths that seats 2-4 people. There is also an outside covered dining patio. We were seated inside for a party of three. It felt like we were dining in an igloo at 60 degrees. Be sure to bring a light jacket or ask for patio seating if you get cold easily like we do. I noted that the menu has been updated, more variety including a special menu item - boat noodle soup $16 where you can choose pork or beef for an extra $2. It tastes great, even came with a side of crispy pork skin and a spicy dipping sauce. The salmon rolls and Thai sausage were great starters. The pad see ew and the Rim Tanon noodle soup are both good too. Service was quick for seating and getting our orders placed. It took a while to get someone's attention for the latter part of our dining experience, to ask for a to-go box and to order desserts, to get our check along with a refill on water. Restrooms are clean. Parking here is limited with another restaurant and bar in the same lot so carpool if possible.

Food and drinks were excellent. Service is fine, they get the job done. Went for lunch but couldn't try the drinks so we went back for dinner. Good selection of mostly sweet cocktails that go great with the food. We will be back!

Nice place to dine in for Thai food! Very busy on a Friday night. Had to wait about 20 minutes for a table. The vibe inside is casual but fun. Lychee martini was a nice cocktail, kind of sweet but very refreshing. The spicy salmon is a fun appetizer, crispy won ton skin topped with the salmon mixture. Not overwhelmingly spicy but pretty flavorful. Papaya salad was light and refreshing, though the presentation of it was slightly confusing haha. Pad see ew was solid, could have been spicier in my opinion but flavors were still good. Massamam curry will always be my favorite dish. The chicken pieces were tender and there was big pieces of potato. I wish there was a little extra veggies in there like carrots but flavor was still good.

1st visit there.. i wanted to try it. Since restaurant week The food was great atmosphere was casual and welcoming.

Amazing Thai food and so authentic. Bew was a great server. I would recommend anyone to try.

Why have I never tried this place?! Houston Restaurant Week was the perfect opportunity to try Rim Tanon out, and we're glad we did. We tried a variety of their menu, but my faves were the creamy Salmon Rolls, Tom Kha soup, Khao Soi Ga, and the coconut ice cream. The portions were huge, the food was very flavorful, and we definitely took some food to-go. Service was very quick and attentive, and for those who are handicapped they do offer a ramp to enter the restaurant. The parking lot is shared between several other restaurants, and can fill up quickly on weekends. Would return for sure!

I had been here years ago and forgot I had been there before. This time, I was underwhelmed. I must have been underwhelmed last time too. The restaurant looks and feels old and dirty. The food was a solid B-. The servers were pleasant. All in all a decent but forgettable experience.

The HRW menu here is such a great deal. You get four courses for $39. They don't reduce their portions for the HRW menu. The restaurant fairly small and was a bit warm. The service was very friendly and attentive. The lychee martini was refreshing. The chicken wings were piping hot with a sweet glaze. The Tom yum and Tom kha soups were also hot and tasty. The pad see ew was moist and yummy . My favorite part was dessert. The mango shaved ice was so refreshing and delicious! It wasn't too sweet either. The coconut ice cream came with some red beans, jellies and corn. It was also not too sweet and was so good! I'm definitely coming back here again! Highly recommend!!!!

Haven't been back for a while and the food was still good as I remembered. We ordered several items on the menu and we like list of them. Just don't order the crab fried rice bcoz there is not much of crab in it at all.

Do yourself a favor and get the following items Panang curry Tom yum soup Tom kha soup Grilled octopus Spicy salmon soo good!! If you have a big truck, parking is hella tight.. these people were not lying on here

YUM! Delicious. We ordered take-out so I can't speak regarding ambiance/decor/service but the food was great. I tried the chicken wings and they were excellent. They were crispy but there was plenty of sauce on the bottom of the container to coat them in. The sauce didn't cover the wings hence they stayed nice and crispy. The sauce was absolutely delicious btw. I also ordered the Pad See Ew with shrimp. Loved it. Everything had the right textures and the mild spice had a nice kick to it. Would definitely return.

Highly recommend rim tanon for a nicer meal! The food was flavorful and delicious, service was excellent, and it was a very cute environment! I got the pad Thai and pad kee mao and they were both incredible!!

Just as good as I remembered (maybe better). Parking is usually pretty easy in their private lot but it can be squeezy. I've heard it fills up quickly, so I'm glad we came right as their dinner hours started. Staff is very quick & sweet also. We waited maybe 10-15 and all of our dishes came out at once. Massaman curry - Delicious deeper flavor with chunks of potato. I wish the chunks were smaller but not a big deal at all. Pairs well with the scoop of rice it comes with Pad thai - noodles cooked well with good tamarind flavor. Soft but still chewy. I really enjoyed the shrimp texture in their pad thai. Spicy seafood fried rice - nice spice, but not unbearable. Big fan of seafood so this was a must. Top 2 fried rices I've had in Houston and I'm not sure whether it's 1 or 2. Pleasantly surprised! Thai style shaved ice - Ice was more of an American shaved ice texture instead of Taiwanese, so can take a little effort to chip away at. Toppings are delicious, especially the sweet corn and lychee jelly cubes. Both green and red flavors tasted kind of medicinal in a good way. Would absolutely recommend to people in the area. Kind of a must, and a short drive's distance to many other things to do.

The parking lot can be tricky, so I recommend getting to go so you do not have to worry about parking. The food is consistent and tasty Thai food that can satisfy your Thai craving. The takeout is also efficient and done very well!

Lovely homey place, feels cozy and popular at the same time. Noise level wasn't too bad and service was pretty fast. We had multiple servers come up to us and take orders at various times so I'm not sure if we had one designated server but they were all very nice! The food was a solid 8/10 for me. The flavors were there and the presentation really provided a sophisticated aesthetic. I was floored by it mainly because I feel like I've by had my fair share of Thai food across Houston, but definitely a restaurant worth visiting and eating at. Prices are very reasonable. Appetizers were absolutely delicious. Get the thai tea and pad Thai. You really can't mess up the pad Thai at a Thai restaurant and theirs did not disappoint. Looking to be back and try their other apps and entrees. The happy hour also looked very good but came at the end of it.

I love this small, intimate cafe! Every time I've eaten here the wait staff has been smiling & attentive to our needs. (My friends have enjoyed everything too.) Every item I've tasted has been good but the thing that will bring me back again & again are their divine chicken wings! In fact, I've just arranged to meet a friend there this week!

When I come back to Houston every 6 months ( I live in Thailand) this is my go to restaurant for authentic Thai food. Menu has some good variety of central and northern Thai food. Very pleasant and efficient staff that smile like I'm back home

I went out with some classmates to Rim Tanon, a Thai restaurant in upper Kirby. I had a $20 discount that I won from an Instagram giveaway last spring and decided to try their HRW set menu. I got chicken wings, Tom kha soup with chicken, khao soi gái with shrimp, and coconut ice cream. The Tom kha soup came out first. It had a deep broth full of spices and pieces of chicken and mushroom. I personally liked it but it's definitely an acquired taste for some. Next the chicken wings came out, they came with a special garlic sauce, fried chili's, and sweet basil. The sauce was pretty good but there's like a moat of sauce at the bottom and the wings at the bottom were too salty because of that. The wings were a little on the small side but they do give you plenty. The khao soi gái came with fried shallots, onions, mustard greens, and a chili sauce to top it. The chili sauce was very spicy so I barely added any. The curry was really creamy and flavorful. The egg noodles soaked up the curry sauce and so did the crispy noodles. The shrimp was pretty plump as well. It's really heavy but it tastes really good with all the toppings. Lastly the coconut ice cream came out. It comes with coconut jelly, sweet corn, herbal jelly, and red bean paste. The coconut ice cream was so smooth and really addicting. I highly recommend this dessert

I've been wanting to check this place out for a while. Ita Houston restaurant weeks so why not! The ambiance is very cozy. I love how you get to pick the spice level on everything. Not a fan of satay because I feel its the same everywhere. But it was DELICIOUS here. All of the food was just phenomenology delicious. The coconut ice cream was so good, not too sweet but also very creamy.

Ready for some Thai food. I saw this restaurant on Fox 26 doing Resturant month. So the girls wanted to go for lunch and we decided to treat our pallets to some good Thai food. None of us had ever been to this restaurant. but we did not know that we was in for a treat. The restaurant is a small small setting very very inviting, very nice great customer service and the food was so so good. We all enjoyed everything that we ordered and all four of us said we was going back.

So fun trying new places! Discovered this gem when we were on this side of town and we were very happy to try it. I got some chicken skewers, the curry and mango and sweet rice. Everything was really tasty and the service was great! Food came out hot and fast, would go again (:

I came here on a Friday night and prepare to wait and parking is limited. But despite the wait and parking situation the food was very well worth the wait. I've had my fair share of authentic thai food, coming from California and this has got to be one of the best papaya salad I've had. It was super flavorful with the fish sauce and I really appreciated the generous wedge of cabbage and cucumber slices to help cut the strong flavor. I don't have a high spice tolerance, I ordered level one and I will say it was pretty spicy still. I also ordered the curry noodle and it came with an assortment of toppings. I love this dish, the creamy coconutty curry soup paired really well with the egg noodles. The spicy red snapper was fried to perfection and the seasoning was also very yummy. I did try a small bit so I don't think I had enough to really describe it.

I need people to understand how fabulously good this restaurant is! Authentic!!!! So hard to find real Thai at times but this restaurant did not disappoint! Reasonable pricing for big portion sizes! The flavoring is unreal. My family and I ordered the chicken pad Thai, pad see ew, and the railroad chicken fried rice. I cannot find one thing to say other than, AMAZING! Service was great, food came out promptly, and the taste was unreal! Also, if you're looking for a kick of spice to your food level 3 is perfect! My food pics do no justice other than my mouth is watering. We are from south Florida visiting family and I am so happy I stumbled upon Rim Tanon!

Love this place food is tasty, good portion, nice staffs. The only cons is limited parking, so be aware guys

Food was delicious! Service decent. Nice ambiance. I came in on a regular Tuesday afternoon and it was still packed! We got Chicken Satay, Pad Thai, Panang Curry and Mango sticky rice!! 10/10 Dont recommend the Mango shave ice :)

The food was super tasty and showcases modern Thai street food. The staff was super friendly and the restaurant almost feels like a hidden gem in the city!

First time here. It was nice that there was no wait time when we arrived in Saturday I really loved the decor. Really felt like I was in Thailand. They have a good happy hour that runs until 7. Curries did not mention tofu but I was able to substitute. The food arrived quickly and was fresh and a good portion size. They also kindly refilled our rice. I would have given 5 stars but I had to flag down a waiter for my check after the family next to us came and went after us. I think he forgot and then I had to flag him down down once again.

Nice spot, definitely get the crab fried rice. One of the best in the City. Also try the Ramen and they have pretty interesting chicken wings.

Rim Tanon is hands down the best Thai restaurant in Houston! I have been frequenting Rim Tanon for almost 5 years now, and I have never had a negative experience at this establishment. The food is always excellent and the service friendly and fast. The restaurant is decorated in brightly colored banners and flags with beautiful one-of-a-kind murals covering the walls and cute but comfortable mix-match chairs at each table. The ambiance is not only inviting but keeps you looking around to see what else can be discovered while you eat. Even the bathrooms are super cute, but be aware they are single person occupancy restrooms! I love Rim Tanon's Pad Thai which is served with shrimp, chicken, and tofu in an egg cocoon, and I almost always order this because I am a creature of habit who likes what I like! However, on this particular trip to Rim Tanon, I decided to try the Khao Soi Gai. This coconut-based curry was super flavorful with the perfect amount of spice (I ordered it at a level 3). It is served with a crispy rice noodle which soaks in the curry and turns smooth and soft - a culinary metamorphosis that happens right in front of your eyes! My partner ordered the Pad Thai (which of course I taste-tested), and it was as delectable as ever! We also had the Lao-style papaya salad which is my partner's favorite appetizer. We never eat at Rim Tanon without ordering it. The papaya salad has fresh papaya, tomato, Thai-eggplant, and more marinated in a spicy fish sauce dressing. Beware - the papaya salad always seems hotter than any other dish we order even if it is ordered at the same spice level as other dishes, so we usually order a spice level down! Our cocktails were also delicious - I ordered the Berry breezy on this trip, but my favorite still remains the lychee martini! My only criticism of Rim Tanon based on my most recent dining experience is that our appetizer and entrees came out at the same time, which made it difficult to enjoy them both equally. Note: Parking can be limited as Rim Tanon shares a lot with three other establishments, so be prepared to circle the lot a few times or park on the street behind the restaurant.

So cozy on a cold day with the Tom yum soup to warm me. The limeade was so refreshing. The staff was very friendly and allowed me to sit and enjoy peacefully as I was reading a good book with my meal. 10/10

I love Rim Tanon in person but I got the pumpkin red curry with beef and the railroad fried rice for delivery. It's a total rip off. I've had both of these in person and I love it both. But look at this - the curry doesn't even have pumpkin in it. The size is barely a size of an entree. The rice also barely includes any protein (chicken) what I ordered. In addition the fried rice was overly salty as if it was drenched in salt or soy sauce. This is a total disappointment. Service - fully disappointed at rim tanon for its takeout packaging. Unless it's Uber delivery's fault for not delivery the complete item. Ambiance - in person it's fine, casual, colorful indoors, packed parking

Great food (very small portions, but tasty), friendly staff, nice atmosphere HOWEVER, I am really displeased about their plates and bowls. Kinda lost my appetite after seeing them putting papaya salad in a WOODEN bowl! God knows how old they are. You can't fully clean them...like ever....and scraps of metal could get into the food. Why use these materials?!?! I dont get it. Just use glass?

I honestly don't know how this place has good ratings. I ordered pad see ew and it was some of the worst pad see ew I've ever tried. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing but I don't know how they could mess up that entree so bad. The meat was chewy and burnt at the same time. The noodles lacked sauce and the portion was also on the smaller side for 18 bucks. Insane! I've never been so upset over Thai food since it's one of my faves but this place was NOT it! I wish I could get my money back.
