Black Thai Authentic Cuisine — Restaurant in Carrollton

Stop thinking, get in your car, and come to this restaurant! A friend and I came to this restaurant for her last day in the DFW area and we decided to come here after careful consideration and we did not regret it I had the pulled pork fried rice (no heat/spice/0), spring rolls, curry bites (mild spice/1), and sticky rice with coconut milk paired with both the mango and coconut ice cream with a Thai tea to sip on. My friend had the red curry with shrimp (mid spice/3) with spring rolls, the curry bites, and she also had the same dessert I ordered. All for $74.62 which for all the portions and everything we got if great in my opinion.

Experience:

Service: We walked in and it was pretty much free seating, we noted how the interior decoration was very nice, everything meshed well and there we're fresh flowers on our table which was a nice touch for pictures and videos. We we're served by the owner who is a WONDERFUL, SWEET, KIND, THOUGHTFUL, GIRL-BOSS, and just overall a queen. She talked to us about the menu and how she just opened in September. She told us about how she imports all spices from Thailand and makes all food from scratch in house, so some seasonal items like mango we're out of stock as they like to make them with the freshest ingredients.

Curry Bites: She gave us a pair of curry bites on the house to try and it was STELLAR, we enjoyed every bite as she explained her story and how she named her restaurant (you should go and ask her about it. ;) )

Pulled Pork Fried Rice: Our main dishes were fantastic! My pulled pork fried rice was absolutely delectable the pork was sweet and blended well with the egg, veggies, and tomato (i think it was) It wasn't as heavy as I thought it would be and didn't leave an overly oily taste on my tongue.

Spring Rolls + Sweet Chili Sauce: The spring rolls were also very good. Spring rolls are my go-to appetizer so I'm very picky about these thinks but these spring rolls that came with sweet chili sauce paired well with each other. Some times you will go to restaurants and find that the sauce and the rolls don't blend well together but at 'Black Thai' I did not have this problem, it was savory and not very heavy.

Thai Tea: The Thai Tea was quite literally the best I've ever had. The first time I tried Thai Tea was at the beginning of this year and I find myself ordering this sweet drink at every Thai eatery I end up going too. THIS THOUGH it wasn't overly sweet or purely milk as some places might serve you this was perfectly balanced and washed away the oily texture from the tongue while still having that sweetness I enjoy.

TDLR everything was good like literally 10/10. The service was impeccable and now we're planning on going to Thailand together. Perfect for friend dinners, date nights, and...

As a native Texan, and being half-Thai myself, Black Thai Restaurant is a definitely a must-try when it comes to enjoying delicious, authentic Thai food! From the terrific taste, to the imported authentic ingredients, to the friendliness of the waitresses, to the comfy ambiance of the restaurant - this is definitely a restaurant you don’t want to miss.

Honestly, Black Thai Restaurant really won me over with the quality of the select dishes we ate during my 2 separate visits here. There’s another popular Thai restaurant nearby (which I won’t name), but Black Thai was less greasy and really nailed the quality of authentic Thai food. This restaurant is so new, I think many people still have yet to visit this restaurant, but there’s several reasons to come stop by for a visit:

Parking: since it’s not crazy busy like this other popular Thai restaurant, parking was VERY ample and easy. You won’t feel like you’re trying to find a parking spot at the mall during the holidays (see Carrollton Town Center, where it’s taken me almost half an hour to find a parking spot 😳😩). You can park and go straight to ordering from the menu in under 2 minutes!

Food quality/authenticity: hands-down, some of the best Thai food I’ve had in a while. Every dish I tried really reminded me of the delicious street food in Thailand. Even when I asked of what they use to make their Thai Tea, the kind waitress confirmed to me that they use condensed milk instead of half-and-half like a lot of other Thai restaurants do to shortcut making this refreshing drink. I can tell the owner and the cooks pay a lot of attention to the details of making a delicious Thai dish.

Ambiance: being so new, it’s never been terribly crowded, but that’s because a lot of people have yet to discover the charm of this restaurant along with its food. This restaurant really seemed like a comfy place you can take a date, a group of friends, or even if you’re alone to have a full meal and have a friendly conversation. It’s decorated really well, with videos of different areas of Bangkok adorning the tv screens. There’s even a little nook where you can take cute pictures that’s ready for your Instagram, Facebook, or whatever social media you use where you like to post.

If you made it to this point on my review, I really hope you consider everything I pointed out and stop by for a great experience - your stomach will leave happy (and healthy) for...

First time eating at this restaurant, and although the food is good, but a little expensive, the subpar service that I received drowns out any positive attributes. I sat down and the blonde hair, male waiter brought over two drink menus and said that one of them was non-alcoholic and then he mumbled the rest of what he had to say; I couldn’t understand him. Then he said scan the barcode on the table to look at the menu. I wanted a paper menu because I don’t like looking at my phone simply to look up items to eat at a restaurant. I thought they didn’t have paper menus, but when another group of people are seated, they were given paper menus, so the fact that the waiter didn’t even offer me a paper menu shows how bad his skills are when serving customers.

When it came time for me to order, I had a question on the boat noodle entrée. The female waitress was my main server and I asked her how many pork pieces comes with the soup? She said she doesn’t know. I’m thinking that the pork slices are like those served at a Ramen or pho restaurant so I don’t understand why they couldn’t answer the question. She called over the blonde male waiter and he came over with an attitude looked at me and said “how can I help you” in a what the hell do you want kind of attitude. The female waitress communicated to him what my question was and he said he doesn’t know how many pieces either. I then said is it like pho restaurants where they give you slices of pork and he didn’t even know what I was talking about. The female waitress said it was like stirfry pieces.

The food was good, but it was apparent that the waiter with the blonde hair had an attitude with me for no reason. He needs to be more respectful and more professional. Because of that, I’m giving this restaurant three stars and I probably won’t be returning to it. Not to mention the fact that it’s overpriced. For appetizer I ordered the shrimp rolls. It comes with four pieces, but it cost $9. Then I ordered the boat noodle soup and the cost of it is $15.99 with just the pork but if you wanted beef or another protein, it’ll cost you...
