Thai Lotus Kitchen

A cozy little hole-in-the-wall Thai shop that's serving legit classic Thai dishes that is honestly the best Thai I have found in Texas so far. The Dumplings and Chicken Satay are deliciously authentic, and the pork Ginger Dish is my new favorite that I recommend trying if you want some a little bit lighter but still full of flavor, and get it at a level 4 if you like spice. The place only has about 13 seats, so if it's a busy time of day, I'd order ahead for pick-up. Parking is tight, and hidden a bit in the back behind the shop. Turn in to the back alley, and parking's on the left, but there's not a good way to get to the front really besides walking around the entire building.

This is the Thai restaurant I dream about. I’ve loved everything I’ve tried and I can’t wait to experience the rest of the menu. The chilly spring rolls are so tasty with the perfect snap of fresh veggies and a peanut sauce that sends it over the top. I usually go for fried rolls at other restaurants but a day later and I still can’t stop thinking about these spring rolls. The pad see ew is so flavorful. It’s balanced with the perfect amount of (not too) sweet and savory. The pineapple curry is so complex and has a wonderfully rich depth of flavor. Even though my experience here has been relatively limited, I feel like you really can’t go wrong with anything on this menu.

Came in for lunch on a Friday and had the drunken noodles and the Thai fried rice. We also ordered the dumplings, but they forgot those; however they did give us a small sample of a soup they had just made and it was super tasty. The noodles were very good and my wife really enjoyed the fried rice. We’ll definitely come back and try different items.
