Thai Lanna — Restaurant in Houston

We moved away from our favorite go to place in the Heights (Asia Market) and have been trying every Thai place in the area. Thai Lanna is our winner. While I have a favorite place for Panang, a favorite place for green papaya salad (both Nidda in Montrose) Thai Lanna is NOT subpar. Food is always fresh. Their spring rolls are unusually different with a thick rice paper wrap which I find delicious. The Ginger Cashew chicken, like everyone else is raving about is worth the rave.

I...

I've been coming here my whole life and it has gone through a bunch of different names/owners. One of my favorite memories as a kid is playing sick and going to their lunch buffet with my mom. This place feels like your Thai grandma invited you over and is cooking you a meal. It is comfort, love, and spice. Thai Lanna is always the best Thai restaurant in Houston. The tofu spring rolls, Tom yum shrimp, Panang curry, pad se ew, and shrimp and pineapple fried rice are some of my favorite meals. Please be patient because this restaurant is usually ran by the cook (yes, she will seat you, serve you, and cook for you. All while taking phone orders). But it is a home cooked Thai meal.
