Songkran Thai Kitchen

Had a great experience at this Thai restaurant! Our waiter, Stimson, was incredibly friendly and welcoming—he really added to the overall vibe. The food came out surprisingly fast and was absolutely delicious. You can taste the freshness in every bite. The ambience is cozy and inviting, with awesome photos and artwork on the walls that give the space a unique charm. We also loved the option for outdoor seating, which made for a perfect evening.

Where to start- the food is simply outstanding. Alex, our server, was incredibly energetic, accommodating, helpful, and friendly. Serving with passion and with friendliness- a quality that cannot be overlooked and a huge contributor to the experience. The drinks were great and served with elegance by Alex- and with that they were delicious. The food- mind blowing. The yellow curry with short rib is one of the most flavorful dishes I’ve ever had in my life. Every dish at the table was very flavorful but the yellow curry stole the show. I absolutely cannot wait to return for the food, and to see our new friend Alex

Joel Rodrigo provide provided exceptional service!! he was attentive without being overbearing or assuming. Insured that all of our food and beverage was to our satisfaction. We were greeted promptly seated professionally Now the really important part the food was hot prepared perfectly specifically to our spice preference. Outstanding time we sat outside and everything was perfect. ! Thank you very much for ensuring quality and service !

We sat outside on a rainy day because we had our pup. Thankfully, the patio is covered. The staff was very accommodating. We had just flown into town, and we're hungry. Alex, the waiter, was very personable and provided great service. We ordered the drunken noodle with tofu lunch special, dumplings, sesame chicken, coconut soup, and chicken satay. All items were freshly prepared and delicious. When we come back to Houston, we will eat here again!

Ordered a big to go order. Egg allergy was indicated clearly. Restaurant obviously cooked item (which wasn’t good anyways or worth the 20 bucks they wanted for it at all) with eggs. Restaurant then proceeded to pick out the large chunks of egg when noticing their error and left me with egg bits all over my meal thinking I would not know. Well I can recognize eggs a mile away. Please don’t take your customers for fools. Shameful. Pic included. Incredibly disappointing flavor, service and quality. Honestly made me not wanna eat Thai food for another year at least. Stomach feeling questionable now.

Fantastic Thai Spot – A Must-Try! As someone from Washington, I’ve had my fair share of great food, but this place truly stands out! The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the service is exceptional—fast, friendly, and attentive without being intrusive. The sliders are great, a unique and flavorful surprise! The Drunken Noodles are perfectly spicy, the Massaman Curry is rich and comforting, and the Crispy Duck is simply outstanding. A must-visit for Thai food lovers!

Terrible service on a quiet Tuesday night. Waited 15 mins to place our order, server was totally disinterested and we had to ask three times for our drinks. Food was edible (pad see ew), but basically no flavor. Not sure if they know what oyster sauce or soy sauce are. Negative spice level. Outdoor seating was nice, but that was the only good thing about our meal.

I visited this spot for a date night, and it exceeded my expectations. The waitress was friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the start. The ambiance was chill and relaxing, which was just what I needed after a long week. I ordered the short ribs, the Lychee Mule, and the beef satay. While I'm not typically a fan of Thai food, I'm so glad I gave it a try here because everything was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!

It was our first time at Songkran and it did not disappoint. You might not agree with this, but I have a whole thing where I judge a Thai restaurant based on their Thai tea. The second it hit the table, I could already tell it was going to be good. The color was perfect, and the flavor was even better. We ordered the beef satay to start, then got the drunken noodles with chicken and the yellow curry. Everything was super flavorful and cooked just right. We sat outside, and the service, the vibe, and the food all came together perfectly. I'll definitely be back!

This place has pretty good Thai food. I got the drunken noodles and they were pretty flavorful. The salad and soup as a complementary were not as a good as other Thai places I've had - the sauce was just different. However, we didn't mind since the food we ordered were pretty good. The service was pretty fast, we got our food a few minutes after we ordered. Luckily we went on a weekday during lunch so it wasn't too crowded. The vibe is pretty nice as well. The dinner prices look pretty pricey so I recommend going there for lunch for their lunch menu!!

In Thailand, you find food everywhere--from humble street vendors and sketchy-looking (but delicious) holes-in-the-wall to tourist magnets and sleek, "traditional" Thai restaurants like The Blue Elephant (whose sauces you'll find at Central Market, by the way). Well, Songkran--that's Thai New Year, for the uninitiated--is definitely one of the latter: a pleasantly Americanized, upscale restaurant that doesn't pretend it's a roadside shack. Scratch that--it is authentic in flavor, but the portions? Let's just say they lean more Texas than Thai. Thankfully, they don't go overboard with the spice. Their "Thai spicy" is more kill-me-softly-from-Chiang-Mai than Rayong-napalms-your-tongue. The first thing you'll notice is the sheer number of tables packed into a dimly lit space that smells like heaven--if heaven were a wok full of lemongrass, chili, and coconut milk. And if you arrive hungry (which you should), the aroma will start working on your appetite immediately. Luckily, service is swift. The hosts waste no time seating you, and before long, you're halfway to Bangkok via your tastebuds. Personally, I like to sit outside. Yes, it's Houston in summer. Yes, it's humid. But with the city noise humming in the background and the heat wrapping around you like a silk sarong, you could almost be by the river on the outskirts of Bangkok. Now, the duck salad. Oh, the duck salad. Crispy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with herbs and spice. It's not just a dish, it's a love letter. Uncle Roger would approve--Haiyaa, no doubt. And for the record: the first time I visited, I was in a wheelchair. The team bent over backwards to make sure I had a comfortable spot and felt at home. Now that I'm walking again, I still get the same warmth and professionalism. That kind of consistency says everything. Final verdict? Five stars. You get what you pay for--and then some. Go. Eat. Thank me later.

Came here for a lunch before heading to the airport. My date's favorite Thai place in Houston! We had the papaya salad, which was so fresh and had the perfect kick to it. Delicious pad see-ew, and also massamun curry! They had a martini special going that day and the lychee martini was the perfect sweet companion to the savory and spicy Thai food. My only complaint is that the mango with coconut sticky rice is served with a ton of dairy- condensed milk and ice cream. Wish we could have gotten a traditional mango with sticky rice with coconut milk, as I am lactose intolerant. I will definitely be back though!

If you are going to wander into to a place just looking for a great drink, this is the place. We had about an hour before another event and had walked by several times so we decided to try it. Glad we did. Creative drink menu, happy hour and perfect snacks made us wish we had more time. Our bartender had all the things, personable, great conversationalist, and an excellent drink maker. I highly recommend his Butterfly Blush. Decor certainly made you feel the Thai vibes. We tried the pork dumplings and fried tofu with sweet chili sauce at the bar. Needless to say we now have to come back and try more of the menu.

Ambiance is killer here. Staff pleasant. And Food is pretty good. The soft shell crab came out cool (not warm) however but was fine taste wise. The pad Thai was good. It's one of the Cheapest dish in Thailand. But kinda Expensive here. but hey it's upscale Thai and atmosphere. Got air conditioning even unlike Thailand. Not sure I'd call it authentic Thai. But I was just in Thailand, actually for Songkran, so I'm kinda biased. They got a kids menu too which was nice to see. And best part is kids eat free from 12-3 pm on Saturday and Sunday!

Do not go here! Service was terrible, food had a hair in it. I sent back my dish and they wouldn't refund. If you try to order online they charge 25% more. What a terrible experience and awful food.

Hard to put my words down after I enjoyed a happy-hour meal at Songkran Thai Kitchen. That was a nice improvement from a couple of years ago. I came right at the happy hour and asked to be seated on the patio. There were lots of people in the dining room on that day. Not sure if someone was hosting a party or something. I certainly don't want to mingle with them. The waitress brought me menu and showed me where the happy hour appetizers were but she left out "certain items". So, my selection Baked Curry Potato Puff was not one of them half-off items. Bummer. But okay. It wasn't so puffy after my first bite. The salsa came with it was good. The entrée was Clay Pot Red Curry Crispy Duck "Kang Phet Ped Yang", phew such a long name. The duck was seasoned well and it was crispy when not soaking in broth. There are so many meat pieces in this bowl. It was well-worth a try with the red curry. My drink was just hot water and it came with a wedge of lemon. That was so delightful. Overall, I had a great experience while I earned my airline reward miles.

Every time I come here from Germany I visit at least twice. What a ambience inside and outside with so many great dishes and amazing service.

What a beautiful restaurant! The art decor was amazing. Even their patio decor was lovely - Where we sat The service was excellent, our waitress was always available if needed. We ordered a fish dish, green curry and the short ribs with a side of eggplants ... I was amazed at the flavors of the dishes we ordered. Drinks were reasonably priced ! Def a play to revisit

Great food, decent portions. We got the bam bam shrimp and 2 orders of the chicken satay for appetizers. Main dishes were the Panang shrimp curry, Wagyu Braised Short Rib, Drunken Noodles and Chili Stir Fry Chicken. The Bam Bam Shrimp, Chili Stir Fry Chicken and Drunken Noodles were a huge hit - must try! I was underwhelmed with the Wagyu Braised Short Rib, felt like it needed more flavor.

Came her for lunch with a group of girls. They were very nice to accommodate a large group(12). The lunch menu was very nice you get salad, soup and meal! I really liked how they were able to split the check and we could all use an app on our phone to pay! Food was also very good would return!

Great little Thai places tucked in between Uribe and the Gelato place in Uptown Park. Every item we had was delicious. The service was flawless and so polite. This would make a great little intimate date spot too. There's valet or diy parking, so that was easy too. Definitely give it a try if you're in the area.

I love this place for lunch! It's close to my office and the food comes out pretty quick. The lunch menu has a variety of items and comes with soup & salad. It's a pretty good deal, plus the service is great! It's a little dark in there but that's not a problem. You should definitely try it out!

Visiting Houston and my buddy took me to this restaurant. Was blown away by how authentic and high quality it was. Absolutely fresh food and a varied menu and reasonable drinks too! 5$ Martinis on Mondays absolutely rocked! Highly recommend!

On the whole, the food was decent. I wouldn't choose to return on my own accord, but I would be open to eating here again if invited out by friends or for a company dinner. I can't speak highly of the ambiance. Granted, I did not get a thorough assessment of the restaurant. We were seated in the outdoor area in the middle of summer, where there was nothing more than a makeshift fan setup to cool everyone off. The servers weren't rude, but for the price point, I expected them to be more attentive. The food was decent overall: - Yellow Curry: This was the best thing we ate. It isn't the best yellow curry I've tasted, but it was good overall and I don't regret ordering it. The portion is smaller than most Thai restaurants. 4/5. - Pad Kee Mao: This was good overall. Again, not the best I've had but not the worst. 3.5/5 - Fried Rice w/Beef: The fried rice itself was good, but the beef was devoid of flavor. I would not order it again. 3/5. For the area it's in, I knew to expect a premium on price. The restaurant is not terrible, but your money would be better spent going to one of the myriad of Thai restaurants across Houston that offer tastier, authentic Thai flavors, bigger portion sizes, and lower prices.

I'm used to gritty Thai places with really good food. Songkran Thai Kitchen is "she-she fru fru" Thai. Really nice ambiance in upscale shopping center with really good food. Our waiter was very attentive. Ordered a variety of things. All fresh ingredients and very tasty, as well as some unique presentations. Gave it 4 stars because even with all the fancy bells and whistles, the portions seemed small and a bit pricey for what you got.

I have had songkran on my list for a while now so I was super excited when I got the chance to finally go! Because Thai food is my favorite it is super hard to beat my go to places but this was decently good. The inside of the restaurant is pretty small and we didn't have reservations so we chose to sit at the bar. I ordered a lychee martini to start (which was fabulous) but it took so long for us to get water, and after that water refills. It also took a while to place any orders even though once we did the food came out decently fast. For appetizers we got the vegetable spring rolls which were my favorite, the pork dumplings, and the Tom yum goong with chicken. The Tom yum goong was extremely lemony, it's one of my favorite soups but this was just a little over the top for me. For entrees we got the Thai sesame chicken and basil fried rice. I did really enjoy the sesame chicken however the fried rice was overloaded with basil I couldn't taste any other flavoring. I do want to give this place another chance because there is other options on the menu like the Thai iced coffee, Tom kha gai and the drunken noodles which all look really good to me. Overall it wasn't too bad but for the price point it wasn't worth it in my opinion.

PORTIONS: filling and hearty PRICE: appropriate SERVICE: table style SURROUNDINGS: clean and open FLAVORS: Crispy whole red snapper (3.5/5) - too sticky sweet, no other notes

Food: Had the braised short ribs- above average and with the spicy sauce added, excellent. Huge portion for lunch, almost too much food. Nice soup and salad included with lunch. Both soup and salad were excellent. At $24.00 it was a little pricy for lunch, but the portions are huge. And the location is very good. The cuisine is more Thai-fusion than actual Thai. Service: very good service Ambiance: definitely upscale compared to most Thai restaurants. Modern with some artsy flair. Overall cleanliness: excellent Bathroom cleanliness: above average

Vegan options are delicious. Very good customer service and nice patio scene. Even had some attention from the male species. Nice for mingle

Had a wonderful meal here with my mom when we stopped to avoid rush hour Houston traffic. Alex gave us the perfect amount of attention during our meal, and the whole snapper and eggplant stir fry were dishes that complimented each other perfectly.

Best authentic Thai food in Houston. Amazing food, atmosphere, service and the BEST SLIDERS EVER!!! Yes, wagyu beef sliders! So delicious.

Overall food and services are good. Ambiance and cleanness are ok. They need to improve bathroom hygiene and doors lock was broken ( on the left side first one) they have only two . Someone open the door while I was using it. Embarrassing

Best Thai food in Houston Try the beef salad and the pad Thai you'll fall In love . Five dollar margaritas on Tuesday.

Huge disappointment. Especially considering the location of the establishment. Ordered two dishes from the lunch menu today (pad thai and green coconut curry). Service was the biggest complaint. I'm pretty sure my server was high. Regardless, he was non existent. Didn't fill water at all. Waited 20 min to find him to get the to go box and the check. Had to ask the busboy for help. And the hostess, standing two tables away, was on her phone the whole time, not paying attention and did not help. Management needs to re-evaluate who they hire.

I think I was expecting too much based off of how many reviews said this is the best Thai in houston. The food was very fresh but lacked the delicious Thai flavors I expect. It was very bland. I got the basil fried rice and pad see ew with the shrimp and chicken egg rolls. Also the egg rolls were tiny cones and not actual rolls

Songkran was a great experience with delicious food and cocktails as well as excellent service. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and has a good layout with indoor and outdoor seating options. We ordered appetizers and mains, and everyone was pleased with their choice. They can adjust the spice levels to accommodate your just about anyone. They told me it was from 1-4 so opted for 3.5 which was hot but not overbearing. This is a great restaurant that I hope to return to you on future visits.

Central Uptown Park with ample patio dining option and easy valet or self park options. We came on a Friday right before HH ends and the sampler was a great choice everything was tasty especially the shrimp. Drinks were hit or miss - lychee martini was too sweet for him and I tried something sour which was fine. The mule -not HH -which is the top mixed drink on the menu was underwhelming. The crispy flounder was a winner so flaky and ask for the sauce on the side which is so helpful. The pieces are already cut for you so you have crunchy filets to share. The basil shrimp entree was fresh and oddly did not have anything besides shrimp - so that was unexpected. Waiter was helpful. Overall a nice experience if you are craving Thai food in the Galleria area.

Stopped in for lunch. Our server was quick, knowledgeable and friendly. Restaurant is small, and offers both indoor and outdoor seating. They get really busy. Food is delicious. They have lots of options, along with lunch specials. The soup to me was bland. The house salad was good, but the fried wontons were stale. The baked curry potato puffs were delicious. The drunken noodles and heavenly beef were good.

This Restraunt is amazing! We look forward to coming here every time we come to Houston! Expect to get your food in less than 15 minutes.

I have been before both during and not during Houston restaurant week. This year the offerings for restaurant week were not eye catching. We ordered off the regular menu. Not too sure if we actually got the pad sei noodles, as that's what we ordered but got the other. Our main complaint was that there was not enough noodles, we could have had more. The apple pie eggrolls were good, I would have preferred it without the syrup on top. Service- was as expected, was not over the top but not an interference to the meal or conversations being had. Ambiance- it is a cute restaurant, not too big and also has an outdoor eating area but it's been too hot to sit there.

Honey we went back! Songkran really is damn good, do you hear me?! This was our second time in. We stopped in so that my mama, uncle, and aunt could experience the greatness that is Songkran Thai Kitchen. Originally, we only had appetizers and libations. However, this time we had it all. We showed UP and OUT, not really though we just ate and drank. Hehe. Apps: Bam Bam Shrimp Veggie Dumplings Veggie Spring Rolls Sides: White Rice Wok Chili Green Beans (Pad Phet Thua) Entrees: Chicken & Shrimp Drunken Noodles Shrimp Drunken Noodles Dranks: Yala Garden Turmeric Margarita Great service, great vibes, great food. Oh and our server was wonderful- didn't get his name but he served us during our first visit also. The hostess is the sweetest as well! Sat outside on the side patio this time with the heaters on, it's something special. Go eat.

Ambience: this is a very beautiful yet small restaurant in the Galleria area. It is known for its patio but the day we went it was cold, so we opted to eat inside. The inside was freezing! And I was so thankful that the entree came with soup so that I could warm up. The entree is very classy with dim lighting and a huge bar. The dim lighting can came it difficult for some to read the menu. Food: The entree comes with soup and salad. The soup was a very nice warm vegetable soup. It had nice chunks of carrots and tomato and a nice herby note that we crisp and a nice mild soup. The salad was a nice size salad with fresh and crisp lettuce and crunchy wontons and the sesame dressing was perfect! I ordered the Pad Ka Prow. The portion was very large and generous served along size a beautiful cluster of broccoli. I dumped the bowl of food into the plate so that I can get the sauce to soak into the rice. With the soup and salad, I almost had a hard time finishing my Pad Ka Prow. The Pad Ka Prow chicken was a bit too thick, but I can let that go. But the sauce was very sweet and there was not enough fish sauce. The sweet was not balanced enough and ruined my dish. The sweet, salty, sour, spicy that Thai food is known for is missing and I was disappointed. I would call this place more of a Thai fusion place. Service: excellent attentive Restaurant cleanliness: very clean Bathroom cleanliness: moderate clean with a quirky layout

Male hispanic host was BELITTLING! Told us we had to hurry because EVERY table was reserved at 6:30 We got to (empty) restaurant at 4pm. After asking the waitress for clarification, the table HE (host) sat us in had reservation at 6:30. Every empty table didnt have reservations until after 7:30 (it was 4pm!) the service was incredibly disgusting.

Houston Restaurant Week: 11/10! First Course: - Crispy Phuket Prawns - Fried Calamari Second Course: - Wagyu Braised Short Rib - Shrimp Drunken Noodles Third Course: - Fried Banana Rolls Can't forget the bottomless Lychee Martinis for $20 This place has changed my entire viewpoint on Thai food & I'm grateful The green curry in the wagyu braised short rib was a game changer I fear! IG: @eatgoodtx TT: @abidaremii

wonderful food. enjoyed the soft shell crab and shrimp. great service, especially Joel, and comfortable atmosphere. would highly recommend

My boyfriend and I randomly picked a restaurant to try their HRW menu. And we were definitely not disappointed with Songkran! The restaurant was small and moody, not too loud by any means. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. The food came out quickly, given how busy they were. We ordered the fried calamari and crispy phucket prawns as appetizers. The calamari was incredible! For our main dishes, we ordered the thai sesame chicken and shrimp drunken noodles. Both were absolutely delicious. The chicken was our favorite. For dessert, we ordered the fried banana rolls, and they were okay, nothing special.

Standard pad Thai. Yellow curry with chicken tasted ok, but the chicken itself didn't taste great. And it looked nothing like the picture. Definitely not worth the price.

I fell in loive with Songkran on my first visit few years ago and it is growing with every single visit there on, it became a must for me whenever i visit Houston, The consistancy in taste of food, service and ambience is highly appreciated

We were in the uptown area and a friend recommended this place. We came during their lunch hour and were seated outside. Their outside area is nicely done, however, the spot they gave us was right in front of a big fan that was blowing air directly into our face, which made it very hard to eat or enjoy our food. Their yellow curry and pad Thai was very very spicy even though we had ordered a medium. We can normally handle a good amount of spice but not when it is so spicy that you can't taste anything else cuz of the heat in the food.

The service was attentive and the food was very fresh. Loved the ambiance. Felt like a NYC or European bistro. Will be back on next trip to Htown

The food (Spring rolls and Drunken Noodles) was great. The service was excellent. Great dining experience.

Amazing. Vibes were immaculate, loved the outdoor dining area. We visited during restaurant week 2022 where their 3-course dinner menu (minus wine pairing) was offered for $39. However, I didn't think I was going to be able to finish all 3 courses so I opted to just get the Bangkok Fish with eggplant. The eggplant was very well cooked, the sauce was delicious with a little bit of a kick. Fish was very well cooked. I found the entree to be a little on the pricier side, and the service to be just okay (my empty water glass was never refilled during the meal; it was an automatic 20% gratuity for our group of 6+). Overall the food was solid, vibes were amazing, and I would recommend!

This place was just okay on first go around. $16 for pad see ew small salad and basic soup isn't a bad value for this area. I thought the noodles lacked flavor and had no wok hei. Can do worse and also much better than this

This is the best restaurant in Uptown Park, and one of the best the restaurants in the city. The owners know Thai food well and the quality of food and service are great. They have an amazing curry, the beef short rib is my favorite, you can do it with red, yellow, or green curry. I have a picture of the duck confit curry below. Excellent back bar selection and wine list. The place is run by two great managers, Raul and German. Raul knows what he is doing so ask him for any recommendations, drinks or food. The bartenders Kylie and David are also excellent. Check this place out, it's worth your time.

Great service by Alex. We ordered appetizer Pork dumplings. Then ordered the Drunken noodles with chicken and shrimp and Green curry with short ribs. For dessert--the smoothest yummy bread pudding with coffee-ice cream accompanied by black coffee. Everything was enough for my husband and me. An excellent choice of dinner to celebrate our 33rd wedding anniversary.

When it comes to Red Curry specifically, I love Songkran Kitchen and Thai Garden for it. My order of Red Curry with chicken, medium spicy tonight was excellent, very delicious n good quality. The gravy was very tasty, kinda sweet n kinda savory. It was very addictive and had a great texture too. The chicken pieces were very juicy, tender n plentiful. The chunks of basil, cherry tomatoes, eggplant and pineapple were all so tasty in the mix and by themselves in the order. They added a natural sweetness n moisture to the rest in solid form. They were also cooked very well n very soft. The herbs n aromas were spot on. The service was great, efficient n friendly again. On an interesting note, I ordered the same curry n drink along with sitting in the exact same spot all on my 3rd ever visit here. I need to also try a dessert here one day, bc they look great like the food.

Fast service for a party of 6. Friendly server. The Pad Thai was delicious! Lunch portion is enough for two.
