Thai Isan House -Food CA (Near New Braunfels)

5 /5 Grouse K9: Every once in a while I wish I could give a place six stars. This is that place! Came here on a pleasant day and sat outside. Walk in, and a waiter will follow you to a your pick table. The seating inside is TINY so make sure its a nice day so you can eat outside. Today was AWESOME. How often do you get to eat outside in NewB when its a little above 70? I went all in and stuffed myself. And I say that willingly and gladly. I saw on the menu board they were having an appetizer special that I certainly couldnt resist: soft shelled crabs! For that, I get weak in the knees. So I ordered my own appetizer to split with no one but myself. I was in heaven. Hog heaven. Yeah, I was being a pig. Oink, oink Im happy as a pig in ....! It tasted superb. I wasnt expecting much and it hit it out of the park. There were also two Thai "dipping" sauces. I tried both and loved both. I cant begin to describe them other than good & tasty. I followed that up with a Massaman Curry. I can never pass it up on a menu and it never disappoints. The only thing is that I think EVERY restaurant interprets it differently and not even closely the same. The menu said it was Massaman Curry with brisket so I laughed when the waiter asked me what protein. Brisket? I dont think he read the menu or understood so I said beef. Boy it was GOOD. This version was a sweet coconut curry with a slight amount of heat and very temp hot. I loved it with brown rice. Waiter was great. Plenty of pleasant outside seating. Crazy good food. Im now hooked. I need to troll thru the menu more and avoid having my own App!

5 /5 Rica Y: I went to lunch with a friend and we ordered three different lunch specials… we all loved it! The hot and sour soup, and the spring roll was yummy! But the highlight was the drunken noodles. The server was great and prompt. We will be back!

5 /5 Brandi M: This place is small but really cute. Parking is limited, but worth the effort. The food was really good—spring rolls were huge and delicious, and the pad see ew was fantastic and a large portion. The sweet and sour wasn’t quite what we expected and barely had any meat so the kiddo didn’t really eat it - not worth $18 IMO - but still okay overall. Definitely a nice little spot to check out!

2 /5 J. C.: I thought the food was a bit pricey for lunchtime, and the wait was longer than expected. I arrived about 20 minutes after calling in my order after being told it would be ready in 15 and still had to wait an additional 20 minutes. The restaurant wasn’t very busy, so that was disappointing. When I finally got my Pad Thai with chicken, the noodles were chewy and stuck together, almost as if they were overcooked, and the dish wasn’t very warm. The flavor was quite bland, and even though I requested spice, there was none. Overall, I left feeling pretty disappointed.

5 /5 Christina Ramirez: This place was spot on for Thai food! Everything I had was perfection! I highly recommended this place. It’s in an adorable house with indoor and outdoor seating. Perfect for a date night! Great lunch prices too!
