Vieng Thai Restaurant

We were on vacation and looking to eat something quick and fairly close to our hotel. This restaurant popped up on Google so we stopped in to try it. We had eaten at several places during our stay in Houston and this was by far the best restaurant we tried. The outside does not look like much, but the interior is comforting and homey. Everything was clean and thoughtfully arranged. They had a very large menu and we decided on Veggie Spring Rolls, Combination Pad Thai, and Chicken Fried Rice. The food was delicious and you could tell everything was fresh and homemade. It was beautifully plated and just perfection. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I wish that we were staying in the area longer because I would have visited again multiple times. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys authentic and delicious food

Extremely consistent Thai food with some great flavor. I have tried various dishes and all of them have been great. Their soups are excellent and the pad Thai is always a favorite. Chicken Larb is a lighter classic and you can never go wrong with any of the curries. Make sure you tell them how hot you want it. They will not make it spicy if you don’t tell them to.

Pad Kee Mao was delicious and had large yummy shrimps! The basil fried rice had great basil flavor but was very clumpy. Tasted almost like it had too much water and was cooked like a paella rather than stir fried. Unfortunately no desserts available and they were out of mango salad. The mango salad must have been popular!

I started coming here in 2007. Veng Thai offers authentic Thai cuisine with bold colors, flavors & spices, with just the right amount of spicyness & heat. They don't offer desserts nor do they have a large selection of beverages but rather a few choices of canned sodas. Also, the hostess & waitresses aren't very friendly but they make up for this with good food. The place is quaint, with a cozy atmosphere. The overall temperature in the restaurant was a little warm for my personal preference. The meal sizes are somewhat disproportionate to their prices (Smaller size portions for the amount of money they charge in comparison to other Chinese/Vietnamese/Thai/Etc restaurants) We ordered the seafood soup & green chicken curry. The curry was excellent!

This was a very unassuming hole in the wall that ended up being legit Thai food. Weekday lunch service was super fast with very authentic flavors. We had the green curry and pad see ew. Fair warning the green curry was very spicy but delicious, almost a tad too spicy for my tastes. This made for a great business lunch as we were able to get our food and bill within 15 minutes of being seated. Don't be intimidated by the facade, it's a hidden gem!
