The food was amazing, parking was even better. The staff were very friendly and fast with our dishes. I couldn’t find a single complaint for this lovely restaurant. The food was truly delicious, and the drinks were awesome too, I got the Pho and a honeydew boba smoothie, they were absolutely delicious. I would 100% visit again and recommend it to people who are in the area!

On our way home San Antonio, my husband and I stopped at Little Thai Chef for lunch. The place is quaint but there’s a lot of parking available as it is located in a business complex. The place was clean and has a nice quiet vibe. The food is AHMAZING! My husband ordered the Pad Basil which is like a the Pad Kaprow version, while I had the Thai Chef curry which is like peanuts based curry.My husband ateall of his food wheels mile I was really enjoying the sweet peanut-y sauce of the curry. We also ordered the crab rangoons and the Tom Yum soup. I also ordered the strawberry boba which turned out too sweet for my liking. I still gave this place 5 stars because i we came here to eat and we were satisfied. We were happy with the food, the serving, the price, and the overall service. You should try it too!

Met a friend here for dinner. This is her go-to Thai place. I tried the Bangkok fried rice with vegetables and was going to get spice level 2. The waitress doubled checked if I wanted that spice level so I lowered it to 1. This place definitely makes food spicier than most other Thai places. It was definitely good.

Had the Thai house salad, pho with the three meat mix: brisket, steak and meatball, pad Thai with beef, pad basil entree with veggies and honeydew and piña colada bubble teas. Everything was amazing! had it delivered through favor and it arrived fresh and ready to eat. It was all so well packaged and clearly special attention paid to Covid restrictions and overall food safety and handling. My new favorite Thai place and I can’t wait to try so many of their other things.
