Thai Sticks

The seafood was overcooked and rubbery in texture. When our waiter came back to ask us how the food was, we expressed that the seafood was overcooked and inedible. He replied, ""I'm sorry to hear that,"" shrugged his shoulders and walked away. He didn't offer to replace the poorly cooked food, adjust our bill or provide a complimentary dessert. This was by far the worst service we have ever received in Houston. We paid $18 for 4 pieces of shrimp that were left on the plate because they were so gross. They also use shrimp that is not de-veined. The array of spices on the food was pleasing to the taste and the overall atmosphere was nice, but because the quality of the food cooked in the spice was so low and the service even lower, it is not worth the money to eat here. You are better off going to a fast-food Thai restaurant if you want to be treated like a valued customer. Pros: Beautiful decor/nice atmosphere, parking Cons: Terrible Service, Overcooked (and thus overpriced) seafood more

I really like this restaurant, from the menu choices, the service, the location and the decor. It's in the space where Boulevard Bistro used to be, and they have done a nice job with it. The menu has all kinds of interesting choices, especially the great selection of curries. The service has always been nice and unpretentious, and the restaurant is a great date place. The prices are maybe just a little high for a Thai place, but it's not outrageous. If you don't feel like driving to the Village to eat at Nit Noi, or want something a little more romantic, give Thai Sticks a try. Pros: menu, quality of food, location, service Cons: parking more

My husband and I went to Thai Sticks for dinner last Saturday night, and I am so glad we've found this place-we were able to be seated right away at 7 pm, with no reservation, although it did get busy later on. The restaurant is so gorgeous!! There are white table cloths at every table, it's dimly lit, and there are candles at every table-very romantic, and elegant, without being stuffy. It's a great date place!! The decor is nice, and the music is good-no blaring techno like alot of places. There were lots of couples on dates, although there were also a few dinner parties as well. \r \r The food itself was fabulous!! I had the Seafood Curry ( shrimp, scallops, and squid in a green curry sauce), and my husband had the Spicy Bamboo Beef. It was so good!! I had to try hard not to inhale my dinner as it was so good!! I got mine spicy, and my husband got his mild, although you can also get it medium, and Thai spicy. Good size portions-we didn't need an appetizer, although I really wanted to try the spring rolls. They also make a great dirty martini! Very, very yummy. Reasonable prices, too.\r \r We will definately come back here, and I will definately recommend this place to all my friends. Great food, great atmosphere, good prices-what else do you need??? Thai Sticks is now my new favorite dinner spot in Houston!!! Go and enjoy! Pros: Food is wonderful!! Great date spot too more

I went to Thai Stick on a Saturday night with some friends. Without a reservation, we were seated right away. I had a Sing Toa draft and my friends enjoyed sampling the martini options (they really loved the Ultimate Cosmo). The spring rolls were fantastic!! I had the Thai Stick Lo Mein as an entree and it was very delicious and satisfying - very flavorful with a good mix of ingredients. Everyone at the table seemed to enjoy the meal. Service was fast and attentive. Highly reccommended!!! Pros: Delicious food and drink options; great service more

What a find! I am so pleased that I took my dinner club Eight Friends Out to this place! The place is elegant; the staff is excellent and friendly, and the owners are wonderful. Then there's the food! Delicious Thai food with reasonable prices. I had 48 people to dine in one hour's time during my Progressive dinner, and the staff at Thai Sticks had everything organized and ready. We sat down to enjoy succulent, spicy, and flavorful choices. I am a vegetarian and had the Hot Basil Tofu, which is making my mouth water even now! The Chicken Himmaphan was over all favorite, with fried chicken in a pineapple, pepper, cashew nut, & other veggie sauce. This is my new favorite place and is worth every dime! I encourage everyone to check it out! Pros: Delicious food, Great staff, Elegant ambiance Cons: Where to park?, Are there any? more

some of the servings were on the small side and some were a little spicy but the overall taste was excellent...try their coconut ice cream more

The atmosphere was excellent and so was the service. The food was good but very much on the spicy side. Located in the hidden outskirts of Montrose, Thai Sticks is a definite ""must try"". Pros: Ambiance, Service Cons: Parking more

First of all, disregard the red ""no parking"" sign posted in the parking lot behind the building. It doesn't include Thai Sticks name on it, but it's suppose to be there. (you'll see what I mean) If the weather is nice, stay on the patio, but not too close to the street. Between the constant ""VROOM"", exhaust expell from a passing car, and the rush of birds bathing in the onsite fountain, you might get a little distracted from your date. I tried the bamboo beef (mild). Each bite was flavorful with spices. It was a good meat:vegetable ratio. Some places just throw you 3 cubes of meat and a mountain of vegetables. (a well-known hustle). My date had the Pee Nae Curry Chicken (is that right?) It was creamy and very spicy. I also tried the Thai iced latte and it was as good as it looked. Pros: Great Service, Good Food more

We got quick seating on a Saturday night w/ no reservation, so I was happy about that. Service was verrrrrry slooowww, though, but tolerable because the waiter was nice and the food was good. Pros: Good taste, Fair prices, Nice setting Cons: Slow service more

This is certainly a good place to impress someone on a first date. The food was delicious! I enjoyed their seafood curry and basil chicken entrees. Furthermore, the place is nicely decorated in an art deco kind of way. more

I have already eaten here on 3 occassions and have always loved my food. On one occassion, we had a group of 15 people and everyone loved it. One person from out of town even commented that now they know why people say Houston has such great restaurants!! We love the green curry the absolute most but everything we have tried is wonderful. Great place for a fun night out! Pros: Great Food, Inexpensive, Great atmosphere more

We recently ate here and were pretty disappointed. The descriptions of the food on the menu got us very excited for the food that was about to arrive. We couldn't wait to dig right into our Seafood Adventure ($16) and Red Snapper ($18) with ginger sauce. Unfortunately, the food did not taste anything like we had hoped. Pretty bland and not very exciting. We could have gotten better food for less elsewhere. The ambience was nice and the servers were very attentive. But that's not enough for us to return to this place. Pros: Good service, Good ambience Cons: , Bland food more

I must say that Thai sticks has excellent food. I recommend making reservations if going on a weekend night. The authentic Thai food is one of the best in Houston. Unfortunately, the service is way below average. The waiter brought out cold soup. It was sent back and was still cold the second time. Asked one of the owners to resolve the issue, and the soup was brought back right before we received the check. Food order was completely messed up. Overall, the service ruined our dinning experience. With proper management, and competent service, this restaurant would be fantastic. Pros: awesome Food, trendy Décor, clean Cons: , small tables, bad servce more

Absolutely wonderful! Great service...great food...and all at a great price. I definitely recommend and will be going back soon... more

I tried it for the first time tonight. I went with a friend and we started off with the dumplings. They were very good. I had the Pad Thai, also very good. I sampled my friend's Basil Chicken something or other....next time I'll have that. The service was very attentive and the surroundings were very comfortable. It was not crowded when we were there, my only concern is that it might be very noisy if there was a crowd. I'll definitely be back. more

I went to this restaurant a week or two ago, and simply loved it. The ambiance is great, the food is excellent (especially the green curry!), and the service is exceptional. The wine list is also very extensive, which was unexpected for a thai restaurant. I will be revisiting this restaurant many times! Pros: great service, inexpensive, great food quality more

Although I walked in a little wary of the ""modern Thai"" cuisine, thinking it would be overly Americanized and not at all authentic, I was quite impressed. The food was spicy and flavorful. The service was excellent and the restaurant had a simple yet lovely atmosphere. Overall, a great meal! Pros: Great food, Valet parking, friendly service more

After lunching at Thai Sticks, I walked away most satisfied with the experience. The service was warm and attentive. The food was not only delicious but a great value for the size of portions. The owners have created a comfortable and inviting space with lots of windows and a lovely bar. I can't wait to return for dinner and a martini! Pros: Good size portions, Attentive service, Good Parking more
