Relaxed strip-mall eatery serving a menu of classic Thai dishes in a compact, assuming space.
In my honest opinion, Thai Chefs is hands down the best Thai restaurant in the city. The vegetable soup is rich and aromatic, with fresh vegetables(you can also add a protein for an additional cost). The chicken satay was perfectly seasoned and tender, served with a delicious peanut sauce. The red curry was creamy, spicy, and bursting with authentic flavors. Highly recommended!

From someone who used to live in Thailand: If you’re looking for authentic Thai food, I would highly recommend Thai Chefs. The kitchen is run and operated by a sweet Thai couple.
I’ve been coming here ever since I moved to Katy area many years ago. Thai chefs is my go-to after coming home from a months long trip. Their food has been consistently excellent after numerous visits over the years.

We ordered the pad Thai and pad kee mao. Great flavor compared to a place in Katy Asian Town. Not to oily and the pad kee mao noodles had that nice wok char. Pad Thai was visually appealing and along with the flavor, made the experience amazing. Wholeheartedly recommend.

I have gone there’s several times and always have a good experience. Friendly waitstaff, great flavorful food and I love the mango sticky rice dessert (when available/in season). I’ve had the Pad Thai, Basil rice, and vegetable soup and all have been delicious. There’s limited parking in the front but additional parking in the back.

September 2023 update: the food is still excellent. I love the Pad See Ew .The service is always excellent. The food is always fresh.
First of all my alteration lady told me about this place (Susie Tailor's on 529)... she was spot on. The Pad Thai was excellent; just enough sweet, spicy and savory. We had vegetable pad thai, a shrimp pad thai, something with garlic and ginger.. rice of course. Everything was tasty. Would we good back. Yes, we already went back!!!

This is a treasure in the neighborhood! My favorite is the Vegetable Soup. The large portion of soup comes enough for a table of four! I also really appreciate the fact they offer brown rice. The veggies are always fresh and crunchy. They have plenty of options for the plant based diner.

Service at this establishment is always great as far as the servers but owner is stingy with ingredients. I was denied extra fried onions I asked to pay for extra fried onion to go cup and was told by the owner if I wanted to buy a whole bag instead of a small to go cup.
Only reason I ask for extra onions is because the food lacks flavor sometimes.
Won’t be back for a while after being a loyal customer for years.

Their portions are just right and their lunch specials are great deals!! Shout out to Bird & Melanie (sorry if I spelled their name wrong) the best servers a family could ask for. Spent many celebrations here - will always come back. You have a customer for life and recommend this place to anyone who will listen. Thank you!!

Great neighborhood restaurant. One of my favorites is the veggie soup. Many items are vegan or vegetarian friendly. The yellow curry is a must try!! I also appreciate that they have brown rice.
The service is a high point, as well. Many times, it is held down by only 1 person! Please remember to tip well!!
The Thai food is very authentic. After traveling to Thailand, I can say that the flavors are spot on with those we had in Thailand!
This is a neighborhood gem, plus it's good to support a small family run business.

Top-caliber Thai food better than most anything you could get even in Thailand. Staff were pretty awesome.
Serving sizes are quite generous, though the prices are a bit more than I’d hoped ($9.95 for an order of fried rice).
I do wish they had more dishes from the Isan region of northeastern Thailand, like some spicy ลาบหมูอีสาน with the roasted rice in it. Maybe in the future?

I guess I'm not impressed by them this time around. And you'll get a disservice if you end up going to the place 40 mins before the closing time. They might as well just lock the doors and not let anyone else enter or change their working hours to not be 9pm. At least the food was still good.

First time ordering and unfortunately, my last time. I ordered the chicken larb salad and fish cakes. The chicken larb salad was so salty I couldn’t eat it. And I’m a heavy salt user. The chunk of iceberg lettuce that accompanied it was brown and inedible. The fish cakes were tasty but they were the size of poker chips and for the price was a total rip. The photo on their website sure fooled me. Sorry Thai Chefs, but your kitchen was definitely “out to lunch” tonight.

We had the pad kee mao beef and shrimp and pad thai chicken and beef, to drink i had their thai coffee. It was all delicious, if you are undecided wether to go spicy or not they have condiments on the table to adjust the flavor. The coffee was sweet and strong, everything very flavorful.

Excellent little hidden Thai restaurant. This a great out of the way place that can be easily missed because of the location and the fact that there is a much larger Vietnamese restaurant in the same strip mall. I came here with a friend for lunch and have become addicted to this place ever since. The food is always fresh and excellent, the servings the right size, and the prices are reasonable. There is never a problem with bad meat or non-fresh products, which is sometimes an issue with Asian places. I love this restaurant. The only knock I have is that the parking sucks, you usually have to park in the back and walk around the building, unless you get lucky and a spot is open in the front. But beyond the parking problems, the food at this place is amazing.

Where should I begin.. was looking for some Eggrolls and walked into this place. Same setting with an OPEN sink which is being UTILIZED for drinking water!!! Ugh. The Lady literally was standing at a sink (which looks like it should be a bathroom sink) place a pitcher in it, load the customers cups with ice; unfortunately I didn't see where she got it from, but let's just say there was no refrigerator there!!! Yuck
Okay food. Got my eggrolls and another appetizer; they were HOT and straight from a bag. Nothing was made fresh, not even the broccoli they serve was freshly cut but rather store bought! :(
Well maybe the rice is made there!
>>Will NOT return. Ooh BTW they give CANNED sodas so I'm quite sure that means NO refills.

Great little spot to get your Thai food fix. My wife and I aren’t from the area, but we were here during lunchtime and were looking for a restaurant to try. Since we both love Thai and this place had good reviews, we decided to give it a try. It definitely did not disappoint. We both had curry (Panang and red) on the spiciest level available. It was perfectly spiced (for our liking) and not overly done. Highly recommend!!!

first time here, food was decent especially for the area not many Asian restaurants in the area much less a specialty one like this Thai restaurant. thought service was a bit slow but saw only one waitress working, I guess understandable during this climate of short staffing but the woman could have been the owner who knows. cute restaurant but a bit small especially small parking lot

After hearing rave reviews about this place, we popped in for lunch. Food was good, but because we politely requested a table that wasn't inches from the bathroom, the lady waiting on us was rude the entire time.
Spilled water and ice on our food when refilling drinks, dropped silverware on the table, snapped at my husband that she'd "be with you in a minute" when he just went to get his own chopsticks from the front counter. Just rude in general.
So sit by the bathroom, or you'll pay for it for the remainder of your visit. 😥

Maybe I caught them on a bad day but I was sadly disappointed with the quality of the food.
