Thai food in Houston

[utexas_61]

What are yalls favorites. I have been to several, all down Westheimer , and my favorite by far has been Lily's Cafe on Dairy Ashord/Westheimer.

God I love Thai food.

I also want to try Thai in Houston but haven't really been anywhere. I have heard good things about Morningside Thai, on Morningside right off Holcombe. Anybody been there?

"Telephone Thai". I forget the real name, but it is something like Kwanman. It is east of downtown on Telephone road. Nothing fancy or cheap but the food is outstanding.

Very near to Lily's at Westheimer and Old Westheimer is Singha

Tell Johnny that IRC sent you.

All of the standards are great, but try the basil duck.

I've been pretty much every Thai Restaurant in Houston. Here is my top 3:
1. Vieng Thai on Long Point
2. Fu Lu Su on Cartwright in Mo City
3. Kanomwan on Telephone

Mai Thai on Kirby just north of 59. It's like a small house. The food is excellent.

I'll also say most Thai places in Houston are pretty good. The better ones don't try to Americanize the food too much, or in the case of a couple in Chinatown, Chinatize it too much.

Mack,

I know Cartwright pretty well, where is Fu Lu Su? Toward Texas Ave past 1092 i'm guessing?

We hit Thai Restaurant on Westheimer at Bering for lunch pretty regularly. It's cheap, decent and consistent.

I've never been to Kanomwan but I've heard great things about it. An apparently the owner is similar to the soup nazi, so know you're order and no substitutions.

I like the Golden Room over on Montrose just south of Dallas.

 

[Mack Tripper]

bularry -- Yes, its between 1092 and Texas Ave., on the same side of the street as what was the golf course. Its in an old run down strip mall (I know that doesn't really narrow it down). One weekend per month they have a big party with kareoke which is really fun, and I don't even like kareoke. They cook a bunch of food and just sort of start passing it out.

Regarding Kanomwan, the guy isn't that bad. Once you're a regular, he's actually somewhat nice.

Thai Restaurant has the best fried ice cream in the world. Its amazing, although not very Thai.

Another good point of Kanowan is that it is BYOB.

For lunch during the week I like Thai Cottage (Weslayan & Richmond), Erawan (San Felipe & Sage), and Thai Gourmet on Westheimer.

 

[Mack Tripper]

Damn, I forgot Thai Gourmet. That's on my list. Probably tied with Kanomwan, IMO. They make the hottest food in the city.

Thai Sticks on Montrose

Fu Lu Su is next to a Vet for landmark references...it also has the big ol grade C health inspection sticker slapped on the front window.

But Mack you're another person I've now heard giving this place a good review...maybe I need to try it, regardless of what Mo City health inspectors think of it.

Morningside Thai is pretty good, and it is BYOB. Yes, BYOB. They provide the ice buckets, if necessary.
