NAPA Thai Asian Cuisine — Restaurant in Colleyville

This is definitely a mixed review. The meals I have had here have had great flavor. The atmosphere is cool, especially in Colleyville. However, they do not cater to customized orders. Being a “high end” Thai restaurant, it is something they should offer... slight adjustments to meals. The first time I went, they said it was impossible to make the pad kee mao with less or no spice. I ordered it anyways and it was wayyy to spicy for my liking. My issue with it is that I order pad kee mao at every Asian restaurant that serves it... it’s my go to dish. Every other restaurant can do it no spice so why can’t they? The second time I went, I knew to avoid the spicy pad kee mao so I ordered the sesame chicken, which was flavorful, however, I wanted a side of fried rice with it and they absolutely would NOT do it. You can get jasmine rice as a standard or for an up-charge ($4) you can get coconut rice or curry rice. I offered to pay $6 for side of fried rice. They said no, you have to get a full order of fried rice. I mentioned that you can get a side of fried rice anywhere and that it’s silly to not offer that when they already have other available upgrades. The response was that this was a “high end restaurant”. Please. All of the high end Asian/sushi/Thai places in the Dallas allow some sort of customization especially as simple as wanting a side of fried rice.

All this to say, they do have some lovely dishes. However, I don’t think I’ll return for those two separate experiences.

I was glad to see another review that had the same experience, lack of customization and no adjustments so I knew that I wasn’t just...

Ran in late on a weekday night. Wasn't very busy. Décor and vibe were very nice and classy. Dining area was very kept and clean. Peeked into the separated bar area and it had a good amount of space.

It was just me and my fiancée. We just wanted some good Thai food that evening. This is not a jeans and t shirt kind of place but staff was still very welcoming, attentive and courteous. We ordered dessert post kitchen closing down and they still brought it out (after our waitress checked with a few people). Their cobbler is not a to-go item.

I didn't feel right about ordering from a menu section labeled "From the Streets" but I was craving some noodles. Their menu also has '"Appertizer" and not "Appetizer". Tiny grammatical things that bother me on a personal and core level.

We ordered their sesame chicken , pad kee mow and finished with their mixed berry cobbler + ice cream. Dishes were aesthetically plated and tasted amazing. I do want to comment about the spice level. As a Thai restaurant I expected spicy food, which it was. Our waitress didn't ask how spicy we wanted it which I feel is a good executive decision by owners. Overhearing conversations from past experiences at other restaurants where people didn't agree with the restaurant's spice level. Setting a standard recipe and "spice level" to each dish streamlines orders and kills backlash. Our order was quick to come back to us.

Overall our experience was great, staff was the highlight of the restaurant, and would go back for...

I had a Barramundi over Bok Choy with Tom Yum soup to start and my wife had shrimp with a salad to start. We also had a glass of wine and a cocktail. All the food was great. I thought my fish was particularly excellent. That fish was a special and cost $35 bucks and I noticed another fish fish was $41 while many of the other dishes were $20 to $30 bucks so expect to pay a bit more for fish. We tried the Red Velvet cake for dessert and I don’t recommend it as it was just mediocre. Our total bill for two was around $100 bucks plus tip. Keep in mind we had appetizers, an entree and a cocktail each and split a dessert.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was very nice. I appreciated the decor, especially the wall of blue and white china plates. The front was hot because it sits in the blazing sun. Keep in mind it was the end of July and over 100 degrees when we arrived. They had a evaporative cooler in the entryway to try and beat the heat. Welcome to Dallas summer… Farther back in the dining area the temperature was fine. I noticed they had an east facing exterior patio that is shaded in the late afternoon and would be very nice in cooler weather. The location is conveniently off highway 26 in Colleyville so it’s easy access. They only had menus online which was odd but worked for us. You were offered a QR code to scan on your phone by the hostess. I prefer a hard copy menu. I recommend you try this restaurant as we had a...
