For someone who eats traditional thai food this food is very Americanized. I asked for extra spice and wasnt spicy enough. Serves a little bit of food for way over priced food that isn't that good honestly. First time trying it and won't spent money on it anymore. If your a person who is not used to spices this is a good place for you.

Has definitely gone down slightly in quality over the past 12 years, but the best tom kha gai we’ve been able to find in Houston. Many great times here. Go for the food, not the atmosphere. (Also go support them so they can buy new chairs.)

-Outstanding Food- This place is somewhat of a Houston secret restaurant, located behind a few buildings. The Kanomwan is by far the utmost best Thai cuisine I can say that I’ve had the experience to enjoy. The mass variety of flavors surpasses the awesome array of dishes one could find at the Kanomwan. If your looking for an authentic, spice vs favor vs pure awesomeness, The Kanomwan.... is your spot!

Good quality food, just a little lacking on the breadth of the menu options. What we did have, though, was delicious. Not in the best area / setting, but that also means it is not overpriced.

One of my favorite places for tasty Thai food. I give this place two thumbs up. The staff was helpful and kind. This place has a cool design. Kinda of like a place in Houston that I enjoyed.

Thai food was good, but I remember it being better. My Tom Kha Gai was pretty salty, when it should have been sweeter. It was tasty, however, and I'll probably try another soup next time.

I recommend satae whenever you get the chance to enjoy it. They have a good peanut sauce, and I appreciate there freshly done vegetables. The food is good, and the service was excellent. Not the best Thai food I have had but enjoyable. The superb service and unlimited rice with our order while eating family-style bumps this up to 5 stars for me.

I love the H10 with Chicken and Shimp. It's not spicy at all! I went there with my brother tonight and they forgot to bring his order. He waited very patiently since, they were extraordinarily busy. They did apologize. It was difficult to find a parking space but possible.

THE place to go in Houston for authentic Thai food. Yes, that means spicy in many dishes. A true hidden gem off the normal path, very much worth the trip.

Food is very good, but if you have an appetite, one dish may not be enough. Had the Nur Pad Nam Mun Hoi (beef with onions and mushrooms with oyster sauce). Place is not easy to see from Telephone Road. Follow the signs near the intersection with the fire station to find it.

If you have a thai restaurant, shouldn't the curry be one of the top dishes on the menu? Not this place. Watered down curry is not an option, dont cut cost add some more coconut milk.. Two stars because bathroom was clean.

Have been going to this place for more than 25 years. Everyone that I have shared this place with has been a returning customer. The soups and curries are very flavorful. The chicken with cashews and chili paste must be the most popular item on the menu.

Disappointing. The service was horrible and the food was underwhelming. The pad thai needed more sauce and more noodles. The "H7" dish we ordered looked unappetizing and smelled like feet. Read the 1 star reviews before you try this place. They are accurate to the experience I had.

The decor is nothing to report on, but the food is delicious and unique. The Thai food has a homemade, authentic taste to it that will be different from all the other Thai places you've tried. The old-school nickname for this place is "Telephone Thai," because of where it's located. Highly recommend.

I called ahead and asked twice if they had vegetarian Panang curry, and they said yes, but once we ordered, the cook came and told us that in fact they could not make it vegetarian. The food we ended up ordering tasted stale and unappealing. Oh and the water wasn’t free. Overall, a very disappointing experience especially for Thai food lovers such as ourselves.

I don’t remember if I’ve reviewed this place before so forgive me if I’ve reviewed it twice. This place is excellent! The menu is not complicated with a thousand options- they do a simple, delicious menu. I love the subtlety of the flavors- a hint of lemon, a touch of ginger. None of it is insanely spicy, it’s just right!
