Khun Kay reviews
15I love Thai food. Khun Kay Thai is far from where I live and work, but it's the best Thai food in Houston. I wish I was closer to the restaurant.
I've been coming to this place for almost 8 years and the food never disappoints! Good sized portions and they have great seasonal items!
I've enjoyed everything I've ordered at Khun Kay, and the staff has always been very helpful. I visit about once per month, but try to go more often. I always order tom yum soup and spring rolls, and often a noodle dish. Thank you to Khun Kay staff. See you again soon.
Some of the best and quick Thai food that I have had. They also have daily specials which offer a generous variety. The prices are very fair and the staff are super friendly.
I ordered pad thai and it's above average, volume is great, I can't finish at once. But it's a little bit dark when I entered the restaurant and I got bitten by mosquito 10 minutes while waited for my meal to take out.
Great Thai spot, highlights include the reasonable prices and delicious, well portioned food. I was a bit disappointed on the tofu which was bland but considering everything else was delicious, I'll still give it a 5 star.
This place is OK if you’re looking for Thai food prepared for American tastes — not too spicy or challenging. My wife, daughter and I ordered three dishes for Sunday lunch. The red curry with vegetables and tofu was a bit bland and the curry lacked a rich coconut milk flavor. The Phad Tai was the best dish but too sweet for me. Mixed vegetables with tofu was OK.
The restaurant’s decor was fine, a nice layout with solid wood chairs. The place was clean. Service was average. What disappointed me the most was that I had to eat my meal with a tiny plastic spoon.
The food here was great! Here you order and pay at the counter first, then you are given a number to put on your table and the staff brings the food out to you. My friend and I loved the fish cake appetizer, and also enjoyed our entrees, the Khun Kay noodles as well as the basil eggplant with pork. The thing I wish could have gone better was the fact that our sticky mango dessert was brought to our table before any of the other items came. By the time we ate, and were finishing up the food, the dessert had sit for a bit too long. My friend had also ordered a Thai iced tea which I had to go to the counter (second time) and request since all the food had come. It's almost like the drink and dessert should have been swapped in terms of what order they came. The food I enjoyed though and portions were reasonably large enough to share between two people. There was quite a lot of people for a Thursday night. I would probably come back and try their other dishes.
Dropped in for lunch while getting my car cleaned at Aqua, amazing value lunch specials. I got the red curry with chicken and egg rolls and soup. Good portions and flavor. I paid 9.70 before tip for everything in my picture!
The pad see ew was okay, not fantastic. The online ordering system, however, was terrible. I placed my order and promptly got two emails, one that my order was confirmed and another that the food was being prepared. Then I never heard from the restaurant. I finally went by over an hour later since the restaurant was about to close and I still hadn't gotten a call or email saying my food was ready. When I arrived, my food was sitting on the counter and only 4 other people were in the restaurant. I can't help but wonder if my food would have been dumped in the trash if I had not come to claim it, since no one made an effort to contact me. If I ever come back, it will definitely be dine-in only
Today I stoped by as usual and I ordered two chicken fried rice and I asked for extra chicken but it looks like portions are getting smaller, this is the second time this incident has happened. I have always spent a decent amount of money here.
Great place for a quick lunch. Had the Chicken Pad Thai and it was fantastic. It came with (2) small egg rolls, and a cup of soup. Nice combination of items for a perfect lunch!
Hmm not sure what I ate but as far from Thai as you can get. Green curry was white and tasteless, chicken satay and peanut sauce a complete waste of time. Shame had to give it a try the search continues.
The Food here is ALWAYS AMAZING!
One of our favs are the Chicken Dumplings. I believe 6 come to an order and it’s nothing for us to like order 5 or 6 orders of them before leaving.lol. There’s a homemade Thai Soy Sauce that comes with them (that’s wonderful!) I combine that with their chili oil & red pepper flakes. Omgosh, so good, but be aware, it’s not for the faint of heart.lol. I would just not add as much of chili oil to the Thai Soy Sauce if you are not that brave
Another AMAZING dish that they created at this restaurant is Jalapeño Fried Rice made with “Black Rice”…OMGOSH, an absolutely amazing dish that we top off with Siracha Sauce.
Almost every time I order this I have people stop and ask me what I am eating bcz they say it looks really good! The Black Rice is more of a deep purple in color, combined with the colors of the Jalepenos is just a vision of culinary delight, no joke!
I get mine with Chicken
Not only is the food amazing, but the owners are AMAZINGLY Friendly and very nice people! Once they start to recognize you, The owner and his wife always ask “how you’re doing” and have smiles on their faces!
Thank you,
Chris
P. S. The Jalapeño Fried Rice ordered with Black Rice is a separate dish from their “Black Fried Rice”, which is a GREAT dish also, I just prefer The Jalapeño Fried Rice!
I had never heard of Black Rice before eating here, it’s a healthier and yet tasty option that you must try in a Fried Dish for sure! Enjoy!
