Houston’s Thai food scene is seriously underrated! For the most authentic flavors, I’d swear by Street to Kitchen in the East End. Chef Benchawan painstakingly recreates street-food dishes (like her khao soi and larb) that taste straight out of Bangkok. Tiny spot, huge flavors—just be ready for a wait!
If you’re up north, Asia Market Thai Lao Food is a no-frills gem with a cult following. Their sai oua (herb-packed sausage) and nam tok salads are next-level. Pro tip: Ask for ‘Thai spicy’ only if you really mean it—they don’t hold back.
Bonus: Kin Dee in Montrose nails the balance of traditional and approachable. Their moo ping (grilled pork skewers) and gaeng som (sour curry) are my comfort-food fixes.
