Anna Thai Food — Restaurant in Houston

Thai cuisines does not mess around with their spice. Anna was very friendly and attentive. She stayed after their closing time to accommodate to our group. A gem if you're looking for authentic Thai food. It's located in the food court of HK4 mall. Quite an extensive menu they have. Informative with pictures to go along with.

We started off with Thai tea. It had a thick and strong flavor. Good portion. Can't go to a Thai place without trying their Thai tea. Any-who, moving onto the food. Warning..I'm so bad with food names! I ordered the sukiyaki which was a house special that was not on the menu. This particular dish came out last but worth the wait.

Just by looking at it was appealing. It was made with clear thin noodles. Plenty of seafood and veggies. I had level 1 or 2 spicy and it was doable. Before tasting this dish, I had tried a bit of everything that was going around the table. I had a variety of curry, fried rice, fish cakes, and other type of noodles (pics below). My lips were burning. We were all surprised by the level spice with Thai food. Now we know.

One downside is the location. It was raining that day so where I was sitting, the roof was leaking. I had to keep my food to the side because every once in a while, water would be dripping down.

I enjoyed the causal and homey touch to the food here. I would come back to try more of their menu. I enjoy small local businesses like this one. You can tell that the staff put in a lot of effort to bring you good and authentic food.

At the end, we learned how to say goodbye in Thai. Sa-wat-dee-ka (for female). Sa-wa-dee-krap (for male). Make sure to put both your palms together and do...

The absolute best Thai food in Houston! Anna Thai is a hidden gem located inside the HK4 Food Court. From the front, you can already tell this is as authentic as you get with all the Thai-imported products for sale (that being said, if you're looking for an item that is uniquely Thai, this is the spot).

The Tom Yum was amazing! It had just the right amount of spices that made the broth taste just as delicious as it smelled. It blows all the other restaurants away!

The Rad Nah was also a favorite of mine. It's a flat noodle dish with a light oyster gravy sauce that is very similar to the Vietnamese Mi Xao Gion.

Curry dishes were creamy with a medium spiciness that brought out the mouth-watering flavors.

The downside was that the common dishes such as Pad Thai and Pad See Ew were plain and boring compared to their other specialties. If you're in the mood for these, definitely go somewhere else or you'll be...

This review is based on my UberEats lunch order of the Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles) chicken + shrimp and Thai Tea.

The Thai tea and pad kee mao arrived very well packaged. I found the tea to be on the sweeter side so if you're a sweet tooth, you'll love this tea.

The pad kee mao came in a generous portion. I find that when there's so much food sometimes it's easy to miss the the mark on consistent flavors throughout the dish. In the case of this pad kee mao, some batches of the dish were extremely flavorful and other batches not so much.

In terms of the toppings, I found the jumbo shrimp to be the favorite as it was extremely juicy and flavored just right. So if I were to get this dish again, I'd get it made with shrimp alone.

Overall, delicious food. Looking forward to trying out more dishes...
