Chow Thai

This was a good Thai restaurant, but a little pricy for lunch. We had the crab and avocado crispy rolls and the Tom kah soup. Both were very good but lunch was $ 20 not including the tip. I would eat there again, but not too often.

I believe a friend and I dined here during lunch time last Friday. It seems like they are very short handed and it shows. I must’ve waited for at least 4 minutes to actually see an employee (while 5 tables looked on as well). Another 4 minutes to receive our ice tea’s. The food came and My friend had to order more noodles for her noodle dish, it was mostly broth and beans sprouts, and oh 3 ‘smedium’ shrimp. They gotta get their act together.

I will update the rating on my next visit. Overpriced for what was served but the cucumber/​mango salad was one of the best salads I ever had anywhere. The warm sake ordered was not of good quality but it was only $ 12 for a double so I could not expect much there. Green Curry Shrimp — small shrimp and not many and the dish was so overly spicy hot that I could only pick out the shrimp and eat them. It is a Thai restaurant after all but I did order it extra mild. 5 stars for atmosphere and lighting. Truly a cozy pleasure to have dinner in a quieter space for a change. Service was great. I will most certainly be back to try other dishes. Very wide menu of many different Asian dishes in addition to Thai food. I would like to explore more of it.

This place used to have one of the best thai food in Dallas, but not anymore. I don’t know if the owner changed or there is a new chef. The quality has gone down and the prices are high. Go to ‘Best Thai’ down the road. Much better food and prices.

Best service in town and awesome, fresh food! They deliver too! The actual owners run the place so they know their customers and remember your favorites, plus make recommendations. AND, they’re very savvy about Gluten Free and can tweak any of their recipes to accommodate!

Nope, won’t do that again. The chicken on my pad Thai was hard as a rock and the potstickers were fried, which would be fine if there was any filling in them. There wasn’t but a dime size piece of «filling». I couldn’t order them without shrimp either, so what does that mean you ask? Just that they are clearly not made fresh.
Maybe I ordered the wrong meal? This was at prime time lunch time, so I would have thought it would be busier, but it was pretty dead if that tells you anything.
Expensive for the quality of food too. Don’t waste your time or money. I don’t like giving reviews like this, but they have no issue charging a lot for food that’s not good, so…

Really good service and good food. We ordered Pad ke Mu, basil duck & papaya mango seaweed salad, all items were delicious. Ambience was relaxing. Server didn’t come and ask 20 times how’s everything. My husband and I really enjoyed our quite dinner.

Food and waiter was terrific… it wasn’t until the helper entered the picture that the lunch went to the slums of a Bangkok alley… she was totally arrogant and so unwilling to even acknowledge a thank you it was sickening. If it wasn’t for the food, waiter and ambience, this would easily be a 2 Star review.

I’ve been going to this lovely restaurant for 3 years now & I can hands down say it’s been a pleasure.
It’s delightful, splendid, nice romantic scene, best part is the whole Thai theme. Of course don’t forget the delicious Thai food. If you haven’t been here then you are surely missing out!
In fact, I’m planning on returning to Chow Thai soon & bringing friends with me the next time! I’ve been to a ton of restaurants, this one is at the top 3 of my massive list. An experience to look forward too. Keep up the wonderful work guys!

My boyfriend and I love this place! We work in the area and we always look for places to try but we keep coming back here. Every single time we have order something different is always good! The servers are always nice and the environment is very relaxing!

The food is great, but the service needs a lot of work! The waiter gave us the lunch menu after 3pm, and we asked if it was still valid, and he assured us it was. Fifteen minutes later, he comes back saying we have to order from the regular menu and so our food took 30 minutes more! We were starving since we had not had any food and this idiot did not even apologize for his mistake!
The waiter is Asian with glasses and acts like he is brainless. I tried to get in touch with the manager, but he was never there or returned my calls. Besides this, I love the food and the prices seem fair.

Delicious and traditional. The vegetable spring rolls are some of the best I’ve had and the noodle dishes are delicious.
My favorite is Pad Kee Mao. A 3 is spicy, but not burn your mouth spicy.
They have free delivery too, which is great!

This was a great find! After a long run, the girlfriend and I decided we needed some pasta. We originally planned to go to Momo’s Pasta (in the same shopping center), but it happened to be closed for Sunday lunch. We looked across the way and decided on Chow Thai, of which we’d never been.
Since it was 3pm, it wasn’t too busy; there were only 5 or 6 other tables taken. After being seated, we immediately made note of how comfortable we thought the décor, the lighting, and the music were.
Antonio was our server, and he was fantastic. He offered us a smile at every encounter and seemed to genuinely care that we had a good meal/​experience. He even grasped the tough balance between making sure we are doing well and leaving us alone.
The girlfriend ordered #17 from the lunch menu (yellow curry), and I had the #4 (pad thai chicken and shrimp). Both came with crab cakes and were around $ 14 each. The amount of food was large enough to command the expensive price, and we both felt like we received more value than what we paid. Antonio checked that our food was well prepared; and when we suggested it be spicier he gladly brought out more fresh chilis and chili pepper for us.
We ended the meal with a lot of food still left, so Antonio boxed the leftovers up for us to take home. Overall, it was a great experience and we hope to return soon.

Must try the shrimp pineapple curry. Wonderful flavor profile. Ask for the brown rice instead of jasmine. It adds a great nutty flavor. $ 12.95 it’s a bargain and it amazing.

Ordered Pad Se Yew and Shrimp fried rice. The noodles and the rice lacked flavored. I was asked how spicy I wanted. 1not spicy to 5 very spicy. Having not been there before… I said give me 4 for both. Neither the noodles or the rice had flavor or spice. Ok. I’m thinking maybe us California ppl have a different flavor profile. Fine.
What got me was that my shrimp fried rice had only 5 pieces of flavorless shrimp that cost me $ 12. And the noodles only had a few pieces of chicken. Needless to say I’m disappointed with this Thai restaurant and hope my other Tx dining experience gets better here on out.
Would I recommend this place? No.
The value and meal just isn’t worth it.

This place had great food, and even on a Friday night we were served quickly. I had the spring roll appetizer for my meal, and my spouse had the chicken Pad See Iew. Both were excellent, and he raved about the mango iced tea! Whole thing was $ 20, and apparently they offer free delivery. I’m so glad we have a quality Thai place nearby!

No longer good food. Used to be one of the best in town. My green curry was terrible and my wife’s Pad See Lew was just salty. Neither of us could finish our food.
I’m wondering if they changed management or chef recently. Was here a couple of months back and remember that it was still good. I do notice that all serving staff is changed — no longer Thai…
I used to go to their sister restaurants (Mango Thai) wondering if they died too (maybe now I know why the one on Lovers is closed).
Really sad to see this one fail — they were my favorite Thai in town for a long time. They are now par or below a Thai Buffet, and certainly no longer justify having servers.
My advice — go elsewhere.

We walked in on this hot summer day in July and it was HOT inside and out! We were seated and our waiter promptly asked us for our drink order and we immediately asked for a more air conditioned seat. He sat us under a fan and turned the A/​C up, which felt great!
We ordered Tom Kha and Tom Yum Soup and we were blown away by taste! I am a Tom Kha connoisseur and they know what they are doing! Always ask for the spices on the side.
Tom yum had quite a flavor itself.
We were very impressed and if they keep the air conditioning down we will continue to go! Can’t wait to try new dishes.

Came to this place with my husband and baby girl. Loved the atmosphere!!! The front wall is all windows which made the restaurant very bright with natural lighting. We each got lunch specials, veggie pad Thai and tempura spring rolls & the pad eke mow with veggies and spring rolls. The food was amazing!!! They made sure to give us extra veggies in place of the tofu and service was on cue. I am now in the process of eating their delicious banana spring rolls with cinnamon roll ice cream!!!

The food here is variable, sometimes it’s delicious, sometimes blah. Considering the prices at dinner (higher than most Thai restaurants in the area), that’s not really acceptable and I’ve stopped eating here.
I had been ordering the Thai Fried rice but each time I ordered there was less ‘stuff’ (and meat) and more rice. I don’t want to pay $ 13 for a pile of rice.
The beef panang was tasty, but it’s expensive for the portion size. The Tom Kha is deliciously complex — spicy, sweet, tart.
When winter rolls around and I’m in the mood for soup, I will give them another try. I hope they have their act together by then.
Service and atmosphere are fine.
