Grandma’s Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Harker Heights

I've had phenomenal Thai food in Thailand, excellent Thai food in Queens, NY and really good Thai in Toronto, Ontario Canada however today, I had mind blowing, super nasty-bad Thai in Harker Heights, TX! I entered Grandma's with a friend hoping to have a taste similar if not as good as what I've had in the past only to have my pallet assaulted! I explained to the staffer who serviced my table that I would like to have a spicy prawn soup, steamed dumplings and chicken satay with a peanut sauce on the side. What came first was a over deep fried skewer of chicken with a peanut butter flavored thick textured sauce that tasted so nasty!! I took only one bite because I don't generally like to self punish. Next came the rest of the order. The soup as you can see in the provided images looked nice. We where dooped! This soup I tell you was sickening and sour. Tomatoes as many people are aware can be acidic, the tomatoes in this soup where not cooked. The tomatoes where simply blanched from the heat and gave a very strong flavor that was unpleasant. Their was no potato in the soup, only a pinch of vegetables and large shrimp but, the shrimp where over cooked, thus a bit hard. The dumplings where strange so, we didn't finish those as well. We ordered one additional item, Crab Rangoon and this was the only palletable item. Crab Rangoon $6.95 Satay Chicken $7.95 Thom Yum w/ Shrimp $11.95 x2 Plus tax we paid $42.- total because the staff at this place didn't have the decency to remove the chicken satay from the bill when we sent it back because it was over cooked. At the end of this horrid culinary disaster, the wait staffer had the audacity to ask if we wanted to go packaging for all the horrible food that he saw that we where not eating!! This was truly the worst Thai food that I've to date encountered. Just to be clear incase I haven't been already, when we left there we had a strong sour taste gripping our throats so, we headed to Freddie's to get vanilla custard with chocolate sauce to help cleanse our pallets however, even after having finished the custard;.the sour taste remained... It took a long while for that disgusting sour taste...

We were sat right away and we got our order in, appetizers and drinks fairly quickly so I'll give them that. Myself and my daughter got the pad thai, my son got the chicken fried rice, and my husband got the curry. The following were out issues. 1) pad thai was way too sweet. I've had pad thai in plenty of places but this was sweet to the point of being inedible. 2) we were never checked on the entire time we were there. We had to get up to get our own soy sauce and Sriracha. Not the end of the world but when you're paying for a sit down restaurant and expected to tip, the table side service is why you tip. 3) The waiter passes us by over and over with only two other people in the small restaurant, we had to have the cook get the waiters attention. We needed one to go container for my husband's food because we were NOT going to eat the pad thai later. 4) Knowing that we were ready to go since we asked for to go containers, the waiter simply sat down at the table behind us to start eating. My husband finally had to get up and tell him to go get our check. 5) The waiter/cashier never asked how anything was and when my husband tried to explain that the pad thai was inedible he simply said that pad thai is sweet and didn't offer any type of price adjustment. Four meals (pad thai basically not eaten), 4 drinks and an appetizer -$75. Save your money, the food is basic at best (with the exception of the pad thai which is just inedible) and the service is...

Went here for my Dad's Bday. He loves yum salad cause of how spicy it is. We went there around 11 am. They have a small buffet open. I will say, I have a gluten allergy. But they use rice noodles. And the food with sauce have no soy sauce in it originally. Making it safe to eat. They had wings, salad, and like three different kinds of noodle dish I could eat. I don't remember the names except pad Tai. I could also eat theor spring rolls. Made in rice paper and cooked in oil. The oil doesn't get flower dunked in, making the wings and spring rolls safe for those like me. I recommend the place for those who have the same allergy. The food also had great flavors that made me grab 3 more plates. Mom paid so I can't say much about price. I didn't see the receipt. But I'm sure it was worth it! I didn't get a refill on drink. Tea and water does. Soda, they give a cup with ice and a can. So don't expect much with drinks. Place is small. Definitely a small mom and pop shop or family business. Nothing eye catching, but can get busy during lunch rush. We beat the crowd at 11 but as soon as 12 hit military personnel and other started filling tables. The staff are willing to answer questions and concerns if about how food is cooked. Good place! Plan to go...
