Yi Peng Thai Dining

First time there. Wonderful reviews. We ordered Chicken Satay & Three flavor ribs as appetizers. The Satay was Luke warm at best but tasted good and excellent peanut sauce. The ribs were hot and excellent. My wife got the Volcano prawns and they were excellent. I got Pad Si-ew Tofu. It was excellent. Went to restroom to wash my hands after ribs and the trash can was full and nasty from lunch service. I asked a staff member to check it.

Nice ambiance, contemporary interior, attentive services. Tried the 2023 Houston Restaurant Week lunch ($25/pax, 2 courses). The crispy spring rolls are delicious. Dipping sauce well-made. The braised beef is good; the lad-na noodle slightly salty.

We loved the cozy atmosphere at Yi Peng. Service was also commendable especially having to accommodate a large group. Their softshell crab and calamari for appetizer were exceptional. For the main, everything was good. Our favorites were the fried rice, braised short ribs (Nuea Siam), Curry short ribs ( Kang Hung Lay), and Pad Si-ew. The beef short ribs were flavorful and melts-in-your-mouth tender. The dishes that were a bit lacking were the Pad Thai (it was bland, nothing a few drops of fish sauce can't fix), chicken wings, and the panang curry (lacks depth of flavor you normally get in a curry). Nonetheless, this will be one of our go to places for Thai food.

Yi Peng is our new Thai restaurant to go to eat excellent food near where we live. This is our third time here. The first time a customer said he really admired the waiter’s shirt and they gave him one. This restaurant has exquisite food, great service, and Thai atmosphere. The veggie spring rolls are the best we tasted in the USA. My wife said they taste like Venezuelan lumpia. The chicken is moist and delicious. The shrimp dish was great. Give it a try.

Kicked off 2023 Houston Restaurant Week at Yi Peng. I had two friends join me, so we decided to try a couple different things on the dinner menu and share. First course: Crispy Pork Belly - The meat was a little overcooked, but the sauce and plating was perfect. Crab Cake - My friend ordered this, and I had a bite and could not stop. It was delicious! A bit on the spicy side with the chili aioli, but tolerable. Highly recommend. Main course: Cast Iron Beef Noodle - Careful, it's hot! The server has a special demonstration for mixing the beef with the noodle (see video). The sauce is a bit on the sweet side, but it makes for a unique taste. The beef is very thinly sliced, but also a bit overcooked. Wish the pieces were a bit smaller so it didn't take much to chew apart. High Flame Wok Curry - The shrimp was very tender and the sauce dry curry was an interesting concept. Again, my friend ordered this and wish I had chosen the same. Dessert: Rice Pudding - It's got an interesting texture and composition. Not your typical rice pudding. I'm going to take a guess that it's coconut milk with purple rice and purple sweet potatoes topped with thin taro chips. Not sure how they were able to get taro chips into twig format without breakage; very impressed with the presentation of this dessert, but not so much with the taste. For once, "not too sweet" is not a compliment. It was a bit on the bland side given rice and coconut milk both need more sugar to enhance taste. Also, would not recommend ordering this if you were feeling full after the first two courses; this is more of a heavy dessert and the portion is relatively large. Vanilla Float - Vanilla ice cream paired with Thai tea. Drooling just at the description? Yep, I was the same. Definitely recommend this dessert! Again, it was my friend who ordered this so I had to stop myself. What can I say, I have friends with good/better taste? Haha... Overall, I would still say my first Houston Restaurant Week experience since the pandemic was very positive. Although there is some room for improvement, Yi Peng is a good restaurant worthy of a try. The service is top notch, and the space is perfect for intimate meals or group celebrations. I made a reservation ahead of time and was seated immediately upon arrival in a relatively private corner, which was perfect. And our server would check in with us consistently to make sure we're taken care of and top off our water cups. Thanks to everyone for this great experience!

quaint little Thai restaurant with amazing food. we started with the open face shrimp dumplings and 3 flavor ribs. then had the drunken noodles with beef and the bang bang chicken. everything was so flavorful. we will be back.

Love this place! If you looking for an upscale but also very authentic delicious Thai food, then Yi Peng is that place. Beside their excellent cuisine, the service was great and the staff was very friendly. Must visit if you haven’t been. 5 star!

Beautiful Thai restaurant in the City Center area. They sat us down quickly, there is plenty of seating, clean and nice design throughout. Our serveywas nice and quick with getting our orders, the drinks were delish and the food we ordered came out in a timely manner, tasted fresh and had ton of flavor! Definitely coming back.

Ok, so let me start by saying this is not my first time here and every other time I would've rated it a 5, BUT they did not deliver A1 service. When we arrived we waited at the front for about 5mins with no acknowledgment or apology after we were finally greeted. Then, once we were seated, the service was super slow. our waitress was not attentive enough. We constantly had to get her or someone else's attention. The ambiance is cute and casual, feels like a good place for a group or a date. The food was good, but it is usually great. The curry was watery, they didn't ask if we wanted any spice added to the fried rice and I had to add it after (just annoying), the shrimp we had were ok, but I wouldn't reorder. However, the roti bread was DELICIOUS!

Located in Memorial City Center, this Thai spot boasts a nicely modern interior with very friendly staff as well. We got the ribs for appetizers and they were excellent in taste. For the main, I didn't want to pay for $20 pad Thai so I opted for the curry. There's a surprising amount of beef in the portion and really filled you up. The curry itself is a bit watery for my preference as I usually prefer it slightly thicker. Overall, the flavors are good and it's a good pick for the area.

This place is located in city center across from Juicewell. Parking is not the easiest to find but there is a garage at a short walking distance. It is a nice and clean looking place. We came here for lunch after a workout and were really hungry. They recommended their red curry and pad Thai so we went with those two orders. They brought the food out very shortly but then after that it was like non stop interference from their server and manager to quickly get us out cuz they had to close the restaurant for a few hours before they opened again for dinner. We couldn't finish a single conversation without the manager asking us to rush. Why even have your kitchen open if you're not going to allow your customers to have a good time to enjoy their food.

Our first time at Yi Peng was bad. We went in for a small bites and drinks. We sat at the bar so service was excellent. It's a small place with nice decor. Ordered TNT, Pla Muak Yang and Khao Niew Mamuang Mango. We wanted to order Larb but they didn't have sticky rice. Food and drink were good. If we are in the area, we would go back and try something else.

We were here during the Thai's new year but surprised the place is not pack. Food was good and service was nice. Staffs are very courteous. Nice Ambiance. Since one of the friend is vegetarians, we order most dishes in vegetarian option and they do have good options on it. The server recommended the tofu fire crackers but it turned out not good. They should have crispy tofu to go with the name. But it's not. Drinks are good.

Good atmosphere for a weekday lunch, I enjoyed the décor and the overall vibe as you walk in. The waiter was nice and provided speedy service and friendly recommendations. We tried the Pad Ga Pow with beef which was full of flavor, I enjoyed the Thai chili basil as well mixed in. The green curry was good and had had a small kick to it as well. I would say, however, the portions were significantly smaller than some of the comparable Thai places and also more expensive which is understandable since it's CityCentre. Parking can be a little challenging of course since it's in CityCentre but you're getting the experience.. Overall, this is a great addition to the lineup of choices in this area and definitely a good spot for a business luncheon or date night.

Love the setup of the restaurant. We sat upstairs and it was nice . The service is very friendly and fast. Drinks are very good! Food is average but all in all a nice time

I am very happy I stop by this restaurant. A good friend of mine was looking for a good place to eat so we decided on this time restaurant and I couldn't be more happier. With the closing of Thai gourmet I'm trying to find something to take its place. Although I don't think that will ever happen because Thai gourmet was very special I have to give this Thai restaurant mad props because it's very good. It's some of the best Thai food I've had in a very long time. Food : I went with the pad Thai beef and chicken and let me tell you what it's exceptional. It's full of flavor, everything is very fresh, and I'm simply a fan. I will definitely come back here and try more dishes off of their menu. My buddy had a curry dish that he really enjoyed as well. The chicken satay was absolutely amazing. Like a little bit of flavor but overall it was really good. The peanut sauce they brought on the side was amazing. I really enjoyed the Decour and the set up. Very nice place to grab some Thai food quickly. Yes parking is not the greatest but at the end of the day this is Houston and you have to get used to it. I will definitely come back soon and try plenty of more dishes offer their menu. Great job guys

I was nt going to write another bad review but I could nt go to sleep until got it off my chest . Pad Thai my wife's she was happy Green curry was worst curry ever If u called that it was green soup Clear no taste no curry flavor nothing Character of curry . So if u desire Thai food this is not the Place .

We found ourselves here every time we stop by City Center. My go-to is the tofu pad si-ew. Super delicious. We tried the ribs for appetizer this time and they did not disappoint. The service has been consistent here. Our food came out fast and our server was so attentive.

I really enjoyed my dining experience here. Staff was attentive and friendly, and the food came out timely. My bf and I ordered their appetizer Khai Hong, which were curry croquettes. They were smaller than we expected, but the flavors from the potato and cucumber relish were really nice. Out of the 3 main dishes we ordered, we liked the Pad Phet Pla-Dook the most. The chili catfish and eggplants in the dish were cooked so well and were so good. Their Pad Kee Mao was yummy, esp with the crispy tofu. The noodles for this dish were thinner to what I'm used to, but still good nevertheless. I wanted to enjoy the Kang Phet Ped Yang with the duck, but it was just too sweet. I don't know if it was from the pineapples or the coconut milk, but I wouldn't order it again if it's supposed to be this sweet. Overall, I would come back to try more apps and their main entrees!

This is in the top 3 spots for Thai food in houston. It was my first time trying this spot and wow. Every single thing I ordered was flavorful and delicious. The soft shell crab had a light crispy batter and the sweet chili sauce that accompanied the crab was addictive. Great crab flavor with the balance of sweet chili to tone down the richness of the batter and crab. Crispy whole red snapper was great the fish had lots of meat. Don't be fooled they portioned out the fillets for you and fried it but there is plenty of meat in the bones. So don't be scared to get your hands in there to pick out more meat on the bones. The sauce that's comes with the fish is so delicious I could eat it only in rice and be satisfied. But with the fish is a perfect balance of sweet, spicy and tangy. The drunken noodle and ducks curry was both great also. The noodles had great texture and packed a punch with level 3 spice and nothing to complain about the curry it's one of the best red curries I've tried. Must try!!

Came in at 1:50pm on Monday. The waiter told us the kitchen was closed due to technical difficulties. Then another waiter told him we could order as long as we ordered by 2pm and left by 3pm. Okaaaayyyyy.... Weird. So kitchen was open ? Anyway so we sat down 2 kids 2 adults and ordered tom yum soup (oddly bland and sweet), red fish (good), jerky (bland and dry), and Larb Gai (good), and pad se ew (bland). There was a huge lack of kick or spice. We had to ask for chili fish sauce for extra flavor. Overall we agreed the catered to more of the American palate

Amazing food! I got the drunken chicken noodle and it was delicious. Very flavorful and I ate the whole thing even though it was a lot. Pricier than other places but it is in city center. We got the Sai ua for appetizer and it was okay- I expected more in terms of taste and size. We also got the veggie rolls and it was better. We also desert we got the K Nham Pang and Mango Sticky rice. Both were good but the mango sticky rice was better! The place is really cute and I would come back!

This place is underrated! The food here is amazing and honestly the best I've tasted in Houston. The pricing is reasonable for there market and the quality of the dishes are priceless. They are participating in Houston restaurant week so if you've been wanting to try this place I'd say do it now at a discounted price. I attached pictures below and trust me it was all good. The service was amazing! They are so kind and accommodating. The drinks are all delicious as well . And the ambiance is perfect for an intimate date night.

This is about as good as it gets for what I call "fancy Thai." I tend to go for Thai places that are little hole in the walls and just incredibly authentic. Yi Peng had good food and a really nice atmosphere. The interior was modern and upscale with Thai references. I ordered the panang curry with beef. The beef was Nice and tender, in fact more tender than I was expecting. The sauce was a bit too heavy on the peanut for my liking-- it overpowered most of the other flavors in the dish. I could barely taste the kaffir lime leaf which is my favorite part of a curry dish to be honest. Only a teeny tiny sliver of basil. And also no vegetables came in the curry (there was one tiny lone sliver of bell pepper). They were stingy with the rice. I realize that 1/2 cup of rice is probably a serving according to the food pyramid, but I would have liked a little more. Our server was a little odd. She had a pointed way of saying things that were obvious. Perhaps it was a language barrier? We had a hard time understanding what she meant.

Be prepared for a chili sauce experience. Seriously, it's in every one of their dishes. It made all the dishes we ordered taste basically the same. They tried to make all their sauces different but the flavors didn't come through. Decent Presentations though. We ordered the ribs & soft shell crab appetizers and the Fish entree. We probably could've ordered other dishes for a better variety, but we didn't know better. Now you do.

Had dinner somewhere else but came here for dessert with the doggies and we sat outside between Fellini and Yi Peng. Lots of desserts options in this area.

How can Yi Peng see into my stomach like open doors?

Once upon a time, my boiz Raj P. and Gage made a mixed tape, and self titled themselves Rage. They rocked hard, got into a guitar battle with a minor demon, and then they invited me out to dinner.  I said yes, and there we were.   First and foremost, this is city center, good luck on the parking friends.  Nobody likes it.  The facility itself is very clean, and industrial modern looking.  Quite cozy.  The staff are so attentive, and friendly.  They were bomb.  They brought about the 4th star all on their own. Started with a cocktail, very good.  I don't remember what it's called, but it had BKK in the title.   Appetizers Sai Ua, Chiang mai spicy chicken, shrimp, crabmeat sausage w/ aromatic chili-herb & lemongrass.  The flavors were excellent, and cooked enough to remain moist.  A little pricey for so little on the plate. Quantity for flavor will be a common theme amongst the smaller plates.   Khai Hong, curry potato croquette w/ cabbage nest, & cucumber relish. Another tasty dish, with 4 wee lil balls on the plate.  Well garnished.  Crispy on the outside, tasty on the inside. Khai Luk Koei, son in law eggs.  Good, but not great.  I know this isn't a traditional idea, but they'd be bomb soft-boiled.   Yi Peng Fruit Salad, seasonal fruit medley w/ Asian slaw, cashew, crispy tofu, mint-tangy dressing. My buddy got this, I had a taste.  It's good. Tom Kha Gai, traditional coconut chicken galangal soup w/ kaffir lime & enoki mushroom.  This had a nice refreshing to taste with the lime.  A light starter.  Entrees Pad Ped Pla-Dook, wok stir-fried prik-khing curry catfish filet w/ long bean, eggplant, kaffir lime, peppercorn, fingerroot.  This was a solid dish. Flavorful, an okay portion, could've had more.   Pad Kee Mao, spicy wok phat noodle w/ chili-basil, tomato, bell pepper, egg with beef. This was probably my favorite of the entrees.  Flavorful, spicy and portioned well. Khai Soi Gai, northern style coconut curry w/ egg noodle, stew chicken & pickled veggie.  This looked beautiful, but I wasn't so impressed.  Good spice, but missing a bigger flavor. Khai Jeaw Boran, traditional thai omelet, shallots, kaffir lime leaf, sriracha sauce.  My buddy went this route.  That was a one timer for me.  Dessert Ka-Nhom Pang Sung Ks-Yha, toasted milky bread w/ pandan custard fondue.  My buddy got it.  The bread was good, the custard was a bit bland for me but kind of expected.  If you like that kind of flavor, you'll enjoy it.   Overall, a very nice place.  A bit over priced for what we got, in my own opinion.  But not bad.  I let my companions take the wheel on ordering.  So you may have a different experience of you're ordering what fits your craving.  I'm not sure if they have a happy hour but if they do, that's the ticket.  The staff rocks, we had excellent service.  A + for that.

Great spot to catch up with friends over some delicious Thai food. We came here for the first time a few months ago and tried a variety of different things on the menu, including the Khai Luk Koei (Son in law eggs), Khao Soi Gai, and Massam Gai. If you haven't tried Khao Soi, I would highly recommend it - it is "northern style coconut curry w/ egg noodle, stew chicken, and pickled veggie." The taste is the perfect mixture of savory and sweet. Also, the environment at Yi Peng is definitely worth mentioning as the entire restaurant was colorful and well-decorated. The only thing we would really change was the price as it was a bit expensive, but it was to be expected given the location. Being in City Centre, however, it is in a great spot to walk around after eating!

I'm so happy we came across this restaurant for date night!!! The food was fresh and packed with so much flavor! Everything was cooked spectacular and service was fast. There was no wait time when we went on a Friday at 5pm. I was shocked. Parking is convenient and there's lots to do around the area. I would love to eat here again! I would've gave 5 stars but the waiter wasn't the nicest and she rushed us. However the food and drinks made up for it and I for sure would still recommend it! The chicken lollipops are to die for!

Came in for a casual lunch at City Centre for some warm Thai on a cold and rainy day. The restaurant has a cozy but modern vibe to it, and was quite empty during the day. The service was quick, and employees were helpful in choice of menu options. We opted for potato croquettes and spring rolls as the appetizers. For entrees we got the Panang Curry with Tofu and Pad Thai with veggies & tofu. I felt that the potato croquettes were an interesting choice! Definitely tasty. The spring rolls were well cooked too, it came with a yummy sauce. The pad Thai shmacked, the Thai curry I felt was lacking in the sense that I'd hoped it would come with more veggies as I see at other places. Regardless, the soup itself was quite tasty. If I were to come back, and choose one I would get the Pad Thai, and ask for chili crisp to make it spicier (if that's your vibe)! I give this place a 4, it's a delicious place and I would recommend you come try it atleast once! I think it's a bit $$ for what it is. I'm not sure if it's the best Thai you'll ever have. I would potentially come back more if it was closer to me.

Super good Thai food. So yummy ! I came with my family. I ordered Green Curry and whole snapper, chicken satay... so~good. The service very nice. I recommend Yi Ping. I'll come again soon.

Nice addition to the city centre. The atmosphere was lovely and the quality of the thai food was standard.I visited on a Monday evening and it was a slow, quiet night. Customer service was friendly and there was no wait to get seating (they have plenty of seating inside, including a bar). Soup: I ordered the Tom Yum soup and asked for shrimp without the head (because that was offered on the menu which is unusual) and asked for it to be spicy. Ther portion was pretty small and it came with two pieces of medium sized shrimp. It was pretty much just both. It was perfectly spicy though. Main dish: Pad Kee Mao with chicken. This was very tasty and if I'm back in the square craving thai food, I'd most likely order this again. This was a large portion as expected and I was able to take half to go. Drink: Thai tea - also standard and got the job done! I appreciate that the customer service was friendly and attentive. Overall Yi Peng is worth a visit if you're in the City Centre and itching for some thai food.

Walking into the restaurant has nice vibes. There is a decorated Christmas tree in front by the entrance and there is Christmas songs playing as well. The service is great. They're posted by the counter which is set by the tables. So they'll be attentive. Now onto the food, If you're looking for decent Thai food. It's pricey and taste okay, it's good enough, nothing amazing, but just mediocre.

It's a small restaurant with upstairs, it's cozy and intimate. Definitely rsvp. The service was good. Mango sweet rice (5/5) by far the best I ever had! Pad Thai (5/5) Catfish (3/5) - the best part of this dish is the eggplant and green beans Beef ribs (4/5) Duck curry (4/5) Octopus (4/5) Overall, authentic Thai food and I definitely would come back!

My boyfriend and I dined here while we were in Houston for a weekend. It's a great spot for a date or to bring the family. We really enjoyed the very welcoming service and a very chill ambiance. Our server was super friendly and she did not rush us at all. Ok ok food talk... we started with the shrimp wonton with peanut sweat chili lime dip. Then for the main course I'm pescatarian so I went with the Pla Sam Ros (whole red snapper). I LOVED EVERY BITE! They fillet the fish so I didn't have to do all that work, just simply enjoy the meal. My boyfriend had the Gai Five Star (grilled Bangkok half chicken & sweet chili glaze). He loved it. But I think I liked eating my snapper more. Lol. Both meals were served with white rice. All in all we loved it and highly recommend it!

This place is a ok. Appetizers: the ribs and scallops were praised by multiple people. I personally liked the potatoes with their slight curried taste. The shrimp dumplings had almost no flavor, but the broth it came in was pretty good. Multiple dishes had similar blandness that relied on the sauce dips as well. The wings had no flavor aside from the dipping sauce. The steak was a bit tough, although that could also be attributed to it being a bit more cooked than I liked. It was pretty bland though without the dipping sauce. The panang curry was straight up not worth getting. The portion was small for the price and it was fairly nasty. It didn't even look like any panang that I've ever had. I really enjoyed the pad see ew, but I have to say that I've also never had pad see ew that tasted like this. It was very sweet. I think about the Chinese broccoli that you can get at dim sum with that sweet brown sauce all over. Apple crumble was pretty standard. The Thai tea was really yummy, but was basically mostly sugar and milk. Very little tea flavor. The service was very efficient, but to the point of abruptnesd because she was always shadowing around to clean up dishes. However, she was so focused on cleaning that she would neglect other aspects like water, napkins, condiments. However, if asked, there was immediate response, so overall extremely impressive service for such a large party. I think that as a night out trying to be a little more fancy or if someone asked me to come here, this is an option...but for me... the parking nightmare, price point, and lack if consistency in the food makes this a less than desirable option to come on my own volition.

I came here tonight with my boyfriend because I wanted to get Thai food but also expand my horizon past Tony Thai's in Chinatown (it's been my go-to since it's close to where I live). When we arrived it was pouring rain so we had walked in with a dripping wet umbrella. Luckily they have a place for us to put our umbrella without making a trail of water to our table. The hostess sat us fairly quickly while I could also see that a large party was gradually arriving and going upstairs to their reserved party. Once seated, our waitress came by right away and asked what we would like to drink, and we both ordered cocktails (Johnny old fashioned and drunken mango). She walked away after taking our drink order and gave us time to decide on what to order. This was about a good 5-8 minutes before she came back to ask what we would like to order. We ordered the chicken lollipops and the larb gai (chicken larb lettuce wraps) for appetizers and the whole snapper and chicken and shrimp pad thai for main entree. After our waitress walked away, I actually realized she hadn't brought or asked if we wanted water and our cocktails still hadn't come out yet. About another 10 minutes was when the bartender came by with our drinks and I asked him if I could get some water and he brought 2 glasses of water over for us right away. About another 10 minutes passed when our chicken lollipops (4 pieces) came out for us to eat. My boyfriend thought that they could use a touch more salt. I thought they were fairly good enough just as they were, I could use a touch more heat if anything. After we finished the chicken, the plate was picked up and about 5 minutes later, the chicken larb came out for us to enjoy. That was my favorite dish simply because it had the right amount of heat and it was very well seasoned and was great with the lettuce pieces to use as a wrap! My boyfriend liked the heat and flavor as well! Once finished, I went to the restroom to wash my hands and came out and right when I came out, the whole snapper and pad thai had just been brought out to the table and the other plate was picked up. We had ordered the pad thai with medium heat but realized that after our first bite that "medium" was really mild. We asked our waitress if they had anything that could add heat to the pad thai and she brought over chili sauce, chili fish sauce and pepper powder which we added a little of everything. It still wasn't spicy enough without changing the flavor but gave slightly more heat that it was better. The Whole snapper was delicious with the tamarind sauce that it was sitting in. The fish was fried very well in flour that it stayed crispy and crunchy even with the sauce! The food was delicious- would definitely come back for the food. Service was only sub-par. This is because our waitress never came by to check on us. It would have been nice if she had come by, refilled our water glasses, brought us more napkins and asked if we wanted a refill on our cocktails. My boyfriend had actually wanted to order a shot of Johnny blonde neat but since the waitress didn't come by, we couldn't order it with our meal. So we paid the bill and he went to the bar to ask the bartender for a drink. The bar had about 6 people on the bar and he seemed like he was swamped with drink orders from the restaurant. he had taken my boyfriend's drink order but didn't complete it at all. It was so simple, ice in glass, 1-2oz of whiskey in glass and done. But no, we sat down at the bar and I saw the bartender clean up the bar after finishing making cocktails for 2 people at the bar, and he looked over at us but didn't acknowledge us sitting at the corner. Instead he went on the continue filling drink orders for the restaurant and this could have been just a quick drink to make and an easy $20 he could have made. As a previous bartender myself, and my boyfriend being a current bartender, taking care of the guest in front of you should be first priority especially if they're not ordering food. Guest in the restaurant have food entertaining them even if they don't have their drink out just yet. It was disappointing to see this from the bartender and he seemed like he knew the drinks, just not customer service. Overall, The space was cute but kind of cluttered (especially at the bar). If they cleared off the sides of the bar, it would make more room for the bar guests to spread out because the 2 people in the middle, out of the 6 people sitting at the bar which were 3 sets of couples, they were squeezed together because the couples on the outside didn't realize that they had space to scoot further out to make room for the couple sitting in the middle of the bar. The hostess could have also asked the 2 couple on the left side of the bar to scoot over when she maneuvered the chairs for the couple in the middle to sit which would have made their seat more comfortable. I would most likely come back for the food but hope that service improves.

Food was disappointing. We've been here before and loved it. This time we were there with friends and had cocktails, wine, and shared several appetizers and entrees. Most things lacked flavor, and just plain missed the mark. Not sure if they have a new chef, but it was very disappointing. Restaurant was also surprisingly empty for a Saturday night.

Food was ok but not great. In my opinion, overpriced but considering the area, I can understand. Service was good and our waiter was attentive. We ordered the soup which was decent but lacked flavor. Too sour and a bit too creamy to be "Tom yum" style. Lettuce wrap was good. We also had the fried fish which was $45. Good flavor but again like I said overpriced and there wasn't any spiciness to it. Overall it was decent along with the environment around city centre that the family can enjoy while dining and walking around.

Nothing special about this restaurant. Food and atmosphere are just okay but service was nice. I don't think I want to go back

First time visiting this restaurant. It was FANTASTIC! The food was excellent. The service was very professional and courteous. The prices were sensible for their market. All in all, I have only good things to say and a strong recommendation that you give them a try. Seldom do places so pleasantly surprise. A special compliment post to Geon, our waiter. He suggested every course of our meal and I took his suggestions. He was cordial, professional, courteous, polite, and his recommendations were considerate and well thought out. I have not been more pleased with a restaurant visit in months and months. Well done Geon and Yi Peng Thai Dining. I would give you six stars were I allowed!

They are in their soft opening stage still. But the food did not disappoint. The curry croquettes, crispy duck salad, wok stirred cat fish, sticky rice and mango, and creme brûlée with glitter lychee jelly were perfectly executed. They are still working on their liquor license transfer to complete, so only mock cocktails are available. The fish comes with fresh peppercorns, which complements the tangy, sweet and flakiness of the fish. The duck salad. Where do I begin? It was sublime. Perfectly crisped duck skin, and cooked meat with lightly dressed salad that's already chopped up. I could just eat the whole thing by myself. The portions are enough for 2-3 people to share amply, if you order a few apps, a main, and few desserts. We wanted to try the milk toast dessert but it was not available yet because they want to procure the best milk bread for that particular dish. The service and attention to detail was on point, and the ambiance reflected fine dining that fits the location of city centre.

9 course meal! With 4 different wines paired with the food!! I booked what amounts to the most wonderful restaurant experience The Wife and I have ever had. We sat a the private Chef's table and we're hand delivered by the Chef every course. He is Simply outstanding! Just Delightful conversation from both the chef and his staff I felt like a Boss a big big boss with this dining experience to end our Spring break 23" do your self and solid and book this experience you will be blown away!

Amazing gem in CityCentre. Cute and chic with a nice vibe. Nice date spot or great for a girls night out! The lobster pad thai is phenomenal.

First time here it was really good!! Love the decor it was not busy for a Saturday, but apparently they get really busy in the evenings. We had some plates server recommended and really good! Here are some pics! Also, my son order their iced coffee and he loved it! Let me try to find the pic

Very cute date night spot or GNO. Love the unique deco, hand painted Thai murals. Located in city center which is great for a nice stroll or shopping after. This is not a fast food thai spot so expect to pay more than usual but the food was delicious and worth it. We tried a little bit of everything. Yummy mocktails, apps, entree and dessert ! My only complaint, more like suggestion is, put a bigger scoop of that yummy ice cream that comes with the sticky mango dessert!

I enjoyed the appetizers (three flavor ribs, crispy shrimp wonton) the most. We got Pad Ka Pow and Pad See Mao for entrees and we needed more sauce and flavor to both dishes. The smiling buddha drink was very refreshing and enjoyable. If I return, I'll try their soups.

The staff are very friendly and attentive. All the dishes are good as well, definitely try the Tom Yum Goong.

I think the food was not the best. The person delivering our food was so nice and sweet but the food was not it. Everything was on the sweet side and despite asking for it to be spicy, it was still super sweet. The food was not up to par with the price. I ordered a lot of things off the menu and will list them and give them their individual rating based off the dish alone. I went with my family and we did family style. Appetizer: Soft shell crab: 3.5/5 Heavenly steak: 2/5 Crispy wings: 1/5 Main entree: Glass noodle salad:2/5 Pad Kee Mow: 2/5 Bang Bang Chicken: 3/5

Finally got to try this new Thai restaurant in city center and it did not disappoint. We all ordered either a Thai tea or Vietnamese coffee, and we all agreed that it was great quality. We got 2 appetizers and 5 entrees (forgot the names); everything tasted amazing. My only complaint is that the proportions were kinda small, except the noddles.

This place has to be one of the best Thai restaurant I have ever had in Houston. It left me speechless and wanted to come back for more. We ordered so much for my birthday dinner to list but you can not go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything is cooked and seasoned to perfection! Cooked in a timely mannered and fast service. Definitely will be back!

Food top notch. Service impeccable. Ambiance LEGIT. I'm a huge fan of "little plates" so you can taste a bit of everything, so we got 4 appetizers and soup. Doesn't sound like a lot, right? We were sooo full and happy afterwards. Everything, I mean EVERYTHING had a unique flavor profile and wowed us. The star of the show was definitely the ribs. Sticky and caramelized edges with decadent flavors a top the juiciest meat. Omg, I could eat 4 alone and be satisfied. Loved the croquettes and Sai Ua! The shrimp dumplings were delicious too. The soup, was hands down the best version of Tom kha gai I have ever had. No pics this time, but I swear the restaurant pictures actually LOOK like the food. We will be back for more ribs and the rest of the menu

Fruit Salad, Fried rice, strawberry mock tail and ribs are the ONLY thing that is fairly good on the menu. A friend invited me here for lunch one day and that is what we had. I told my husband about it because he had a taste for Thai food, so we came back so he can give it a try. This time we also tried the chicken lollipops which were disgusting and the pad Thai was even more gross. We told our server, who was rude and condescending, we would like to speak with a manager and he brought out the chef, who was even more rude and condescending, saying they already comped the chicken lollipops they can't give a free meal. EXCUSE YOU?! Who is asking for a free meal?! We said the other food was ok, however the Pad Thai was slimy, lacked flavor, and just didn't taste good and that was only after one bite. So take it back as you just did the other guests who sent their food back, and do what you normally do with food that is sent back. Needless to say, his rude and arrogant attitude cost his server his tip and he lost customers. We left the Pad Thai on the table. Won't be back, won't recommend, not even for the food that was half way descent. Believe the other reviews, it's not the best Thai food in the city, definitely wasn't worth the drive for us, nor the hassle of the rude owner! Gross!

Went here tonight for the first time to get take-out. Nearby parking is extremely scarce, and every 15-minute "to-go" parking spot was full. Expect to park in the garage and get a nice, relaxing walk to and from the restaurant. I asked for a menu and was directed to a QR code on the wall. Take-out customers are expected to view the menu and order "self-service" on their cell phone, as well as settle the bill, self-service. And this restaurant automatically sets the "tip" at 15%! They want a $5 tip for walking an order 20 paces from the kitchen to the front? After I handed my menu to myself and keyed my own credit card number into my personal cell phone? Do I get a cut of the 15%? Annoying. They brought the food up front, but didn't let me know. So heads up, if you're waiting, you need to be on watch for your own food. Otherwise, staff was very friendly and professional. The interior was small but very nice, comfortable, and quiet. It was not that busy inside on a Monday night. The food is overpriced by about $6 (we ordered Pad Kee-Mao Shrimp and Tom Young Goong). But it is quite good. They probably have no choice - the rent here must be insane. I was originally going to rate 2 stars, but the food is good enough that they get a star back. Although I would prefer not to have self-service at an "upscale" restaurant, I can at least say that the user interface for the online menu was very intuitive. There are photos of each menu item, and you get full control over options (for example, no egg). I'd rather not have to burn more time gazing into an iphone - I'd just like to order from a human and have them take care of the details. Then tip accordingly. But it is what it is, and I'd rather have a great restaurant nearby with a hassle or two, vs. none at all. So I'll give them another shot. The food was good enough to warrant a second trip. I hoping the red curry will be really great here. I'll follow up in a few weeks. Jim P.S. Here, spicy means SPICY! Heed my warning! I can handle the heat but I could only take one sip of the soup. Very tangy, tomato-ey, and uncomfortably spicy. Can't blame them, though, I asked for spicy. Caveat emptor.

The food was good. The service was attentive. The ambiance was nice. Prices were OK. I guess since it's Texas, I shouldn't be surprised that the staff weren't wearing masks.
