Trinity Street Food — Restaurant in Houston

I had been meaning to try this place since I'd see it a lot, and its menu was promising, and finally my best friend and I needed dinner and Thai was on our palate. Pay attention when driving up because the turn into is a lot faster than you think. Very cute space, bar seating, and group dining, nothing over the top, very cozy!! I should've seen it coming when I saw the menu, no frills, held together in a binder, short, sweet and to the point. Panang Curry is my go to so I got that as my entree, and when the waitress asked me if i was SURE i wanted Thai Spicy, i should've backtracked and listened. But we'll get to that in a second. Bestie got the Yellow Curry and just Spicy. Edamame and the fresh rolls were our appetizers, and the edemame alone had a BITE (we got the chili garlic ones) and I currently still have leftovers of them and am very excited to eat them later. The Fresh Rolls, the chicken was so juicy and delightful, and the peanut sauce!!! I don't know what it was, if i could DRINK that sauce i would, SO GOOD! The curries come out and they're in the cutest little pots, and PIPING HOT. Thai Spicy Panang curry destroyed me. Good is an understatement, it's one of the best i've had in the city. If you're not designed to eat Thai Spicy, do not get Thai Spicy. It wasn't like spicy to hurt and kill you it was "this dish will fool you with its deliciousness, and THEN you'll remember it's spicy!" My body will hate me but my tastebuds have been singing praises. The yellow curry was a lot less spicy and just as delightfully delicious. Pricing is exactly what we assumed we...

Generally have had good experiences here but the last couple times not so much. Specifically:

Portion sizes have shrunk - yes, shrinkflation. The food is served on a large plate but the amount of food on that plate is minuscule compared to what it used to be, at least in my subjective opinion

Cocktails take forever to come out. They have a nice and interesting cocktail menu but I think maybe they only have one person who knows how to make those cocktails. Most recently, went there with another couple and ordered 4 cocktails - the ladies drinks came out in about 10 minutes, another cocktail about 5 minutes later and the last one about 10 minutes after that (and that one came out with the main entrees - a big no no). I don't think they understand that cocktails need to all come out together so people can toast, etc. The ladies ended up staring at their cocktails for about 15 minutes before we could all toast the evening together with cocktails in hand

The servers are too eager to clear dishes off your table, even when the restaurant is half empty. Most recently within the span of about 5 to 7 minutes a server came by 5 times to try and clear our dishes even though we repeatedly told her that we were still working on our food

Not sure if we'll be going back after these 2 subpar experiences. If it was a one off, we could let it slide, but now twice in the last couple of weeks makes us want to find a new go...

Today I came to celebrate my bday with my family, unaware of the treasure we would find. We are not picky eaters, yet we were able to find so many varieties in colors, scents and tastes on one single plate that we just had to try. So as u might of guessed... WE CULD NOT WAIT to order many plates, all tasty.

Sarah, our waitress, was amazing and added a special touch to our experience by giving us her suggestions on the plates which did not failed to make our mouth water.

The head chef and fellow cooks were pretty busy prepping the plates and to go orders and even then, he found time to come to our table and ask if we were comfortable enough.... By caring for the customers experience u will find ways to better out for future visits. He himself told us he and his crew spend a lot of time finding ways to constantly excel. The mindset that brings a chef to say " this is good but not good enough" time after time, it is truly the mark of a good leader and entrepreneur.

Thank u deeply. Looking forward for...
