What People Are Saying About Thai Cottage

The Scene – Although this snug cafe is well-hidden in a Bellaire strip mall, Thai families and fans from across town have sniffed it out as the place to get a regular Thai fix. Easily overheard movers and shakers gabbing about the social scene hit the Cottage at lunch and before nighttime escapades. – – The Food – There's a convenient heat-indexed menu: Pick your spice tolerance from one to five; two has a swift kick and three sets your tongue tingling. Noteworthy Thai curry plates include a feisty favorite, red-curry chicken, with supple bites of white chicken and…

Thai like no other

by resale1mama

The staff of Children's Collections on Bellaire Blvd. had picked up food from this restaurant, and told me where to find it. Next day my sister and i met for lunch and loved the food, and very attentive waiter. I love Thia food and this place get my business. Excellenence with every dish we tryed. I have found more new places to eat now that I am shopping in Bellaire. I live on Voss and work in Voss area and have nothing like this near me. Well worth the drive. Thanks to my friend Yolanda and her staff at CHILDREN'S COLLECTIONS.

  • Pros: Excellent Ambience, EXCELLENT service

No Happy Plate Here

by sunshinesrights

I have dined at many Thai restaurants and I am sad to say that Thai Cottage was the worst experience I have ever had. I assured my boyfriend and friend had this been my 1st experience (as it was theirs) that I would never have tried it again. Always check the ceiling before you dine? this place is full of mold and water stains. Not a very pleasant $25.00 dining experience? I was very disappointed that the place I picked was so bad (and my friend did not eat her food) I picked up the entire tab.

  • Pros: None
  • Cons: Dark, Dingy and Food was Low Quality

Great Thai Food at a Reasonable Price

by rodcrowl

Thai Cottage is one of the best Thai restaurants in Houston. It is cozy and inviting if somewhat dark at times. The food is flavorful and spiced according to your request from mild to inedibly fiery. Their green curryn is so good, my wife and I have trouble trying anything else., but when we have it has been great also. You may choose brown or white rice and refills are usually free. Prices are around 7-8 dollars per entree --very reasonable in my experience. It is also adjacent to the Edwards theatre so convenient for movie nights.

A very good chice for Thai food!

  • Pros: Food, Price, Ambiance
  • Cons: Light Control, Service mixed
