What People Are Saying About Kanonwan

In Short – Don't even try getting a smile out of the owner--he's legendarily surly. Still, Kanomwan remains a favorite among enthusiasts who believe the food is worth the effort to get here. The kitchen has a frisky hand with the chilies (and lemongrass and basil).Tom ka gai, featuring chicken in a coconut milk broth made tangy by lemongrass, is a definite pleaser. Try the soups, too.

I just don't get it...
by cougaboutown
Went here with some friends this past weekend. The hostess took forever to seat us even though there were empty tables and the service was undistinguished. I know some people rave about the food, but I think it is pretty average at best. In fact, two dishes looked so much alike that we couldn't tell the difference at first glance. The phad Thai was pretty blah with more bean sprouts than anything else. Frankly, I just don't get the more positive reviews. By the way, this is in a pretty crummy part of Houston. We have plenty of Thai restaurants where you don't have to worry about where you're parked.
- Pros: Ok Thai food, BYOB holds down the liquor bill.
- Cons: Not that good, slow service, really bad side of town.

DON'T GO THERE. THE WORST Service ever.
by ohmzx
I went to this place not too long ago. We had to wait about 30 mins to have the owner come and get our orders. Well actually my friend call the guy and tell him we are ready. This guy just walked pass him like he didn't even exist. Then we have to wait another 30 mins to get our food which is really small compare to others. One of the basil stir fried was soo bad that we had to get it remade. The green curry is not too bad though. At the end of the day, the service just made me don't want to go back there again. I was the one who invited all my friends to this place. NOne of them likes the food there.
- Pros: Green curry is good.
- Cons: THE WORST SERVICE EVER

Worst thai restaurant/food I've ever had
by tracker77
By far, the worst thai restauarant I have ever been too. I have recently moved to Houston and have tried other thai places which were far better than this..however everyone talks about this place so thought I would try it out. No vegetarian options! When I asked to have something made without meat, I got a weird look. Then I asked if tofu could be added and the extremely rude owner replied "we don't have tofu". I ended up getting fried rice and some vegetable dish which were both extremely bland and no flavor at all! Service was equally horrible. Honestly, I have never been so compelled to write a bad review for a restaurant. Definitely never going back!!
- Pros: None
- Cons: Location is in the middle of nowhere, restaurant looks like a dump, owner is very rude, service is very poor and food is gross.
