Enjoyed an early dinner with a friend here. The service was fast. The tables are very sticky even with a wipe down so be aware. I like that they offer freshly squeezed lemonade. We started off with the seaweed salad which was delicious. I had the massanman curry which is a peanut sauce based curry. It was not as flavorful as I imagined but not bad. Probably wouldn’t get again. My friend ordered the pineapple curry which was quite tasty. The price was reasonable. Would return and try other options.

Visiting Houston from Boston MA, it was 105 degrees out and I was craving Thai food so came here. The reviews are great so I had to get the chicken pad Thai and orange chicken. 100 out of 10 stars. Also got the veggie spring rolls and the crab and cream cheese roll also 100 out of 10. And the fried rice was the best I ever had. Also they were bumping some awesome music on the speakers. Staff was friendly. Place is amazing.

I just tried NUA Thai for the first time and it was so good! I ordered the shrimp Pad See Ew, crab cream cheese roll, and Thai tea and all were great! I got the medium spice level which was still pretty spicy but I enjoyed it. I ordered carry out but noticed that the restaurant was nice and had a great ambience. I will definitely be returning.

1st day in Houston and we’re looking for a place to have dinner , we check the restaurants in a 5 mile radius and came with Nua Thai . For our 1st dinner the food was excellent possible better than at home . Khao soi kai, pad swee ew and green curry seafood , mango ice tea and lyche ice tea. All the dishes and drink were really good. Our server was patient and nice with us , we were taking too long to order .

We love this place and have been coming here for a while. Plenty of vegetarian options. Authentic and flavorful dishes. Our goto’s are tofu spring rolls, red curry fried rice with tofu, and drunken noodles with tofu. Every now and then we get the panang or massaman curry. Service is great and fast. Tonight I decided to try the brussels sprout and although it had great flavor it was too saucy. Prices are reasonable and portions are perfect. Plenty of seating. Parking is limited but there’s street parking nearby. Happy they’re in the neighborhood.

I have been here a bunch of times for her to go food. I don’t know if it’s because it was late at night or what, but everything I got was pretty bad. My pad, Woon sen is so bland and has a weird flavor.

An excellent Thai place in Houston. Classic options and everything is as good as expected. The prices are fair for the good portion sizes. Staff is very nice and the food comes out relatively quickly. There’s a good amount of seating, but parking is pretty limited, you may have to find a spot around the area. Was overall satisfied by the experience.

My wife and I have been wanting to try this restaurant out for some time now. We finally made time, and we weren’t disappointed. The food was exceptional. Full of flavor and culture! We will definitely return to try other menu items. The only issue we ran into was parking. They have parking but it is a small lot. I ended up paying 7 dollars to park in the lot next to the restaurant.

For VEGETARIANS: Amazing Thai food, one of the best I’ve tried in Houston. Very accommodating to dietary restrictions and able to customize order to try original meat dishes with a vegetarian option. Food tastes delicious and hearty, staff is friendly, and atmosphere is cozy. Becoming my go to Thai food restaurant.

I stopped in with some friends since I moved into midtown. I live Thai food and this spot did not disappoint. I’ll start with the appetizers. The chicken satay was okay and the Brussels sprouts were delicious but on the saucier side if you’re not a big fan of saucy dishes.
