Love this place so much. The music is soft enough to make the atmosphere while allowing easy conversation. The interior design is beautiful. There are many areas for an Instagram worthy photo op. The food was amazing. So many options bursting with flavor. Heat levels are indicated on the menu and adjustable. They have so many vegetarian and gluten free options. Presentation was beautiful. I recommend the Chinese broccoli with crispy pork, but our table shared 9 dishes and I have no complaints about any of them. Their staff was friendly, patient and knowledgeable. I can’t recommend this place enough.

have been living in the Greater Houston area for over 50 years and have visited over 40 Thai and Lao restaurants. Thai Spice Express on 8282 Bellaire Blvd has a new owner who moved from Pho Tran in the Veterans Memorial area. All the staff members are Thai and super friendly. To me, this is the #1 Thai restaurant in Houston—and I’ve been to many, including Kin Dee, Markhin, Thai Street Calvocadr, Bahn Somtum, Vieng Thai, Street to Kitchen, Som Binh, and many more.

I had an amazing meal at this Thai restaurant!
The crispy pork was super crunchy and perfectly seasoned every bite was full of flavor.
The boat noodles were absolutely delicious. The broth was rich, thick, and full of depth just like what you’d find in Thailand!
The portion size was generous, and the aroma made me hungry the moment it hit the table.
The atmosphere was great and very welcoming.
If you’re looking for authentic Thai flavors, this place is a must-try!

Many Thai Spice locations have disappeared. This one still survives serving delicious food with generous portions at reasonable prices.
It’s location is a bit hidden and not viewable from the street.

We’ve been regulars at Thai Spice on Bellaire for over almost 20 years. We moved away from the area a while back, and on our recent visit, we found out that the owners and the staff had changed. This spot has been our go-to Thai restaurant, and we were super hesitant to order and try the food after a management change.
First of all, I have to commend the change in the upgraded interior of the restaurant. The long-running business was in need of a makeover, and it definitely got one.
We ordered our usual favorites, Fried Tilapia, Tom Yum Kung, and Chinese broccoli. We were pleasantly surprised to say that the food was delicious and very close to, if not exactly, what we had tasted before the change in ownership.
The new staff was very friendly and helpful, and our server always had a smile on her face. We’re happy that the restaurant we consider a staple of the Chinatown community has kept their traditions alive!

Awesome place! They were very accommodating of my large group (15 people!) and made us feel very welcomed! Food was awesome. Lady (I feel bad not knowing her name) was very nice in getting us group photos and encouraged us to use the restaurant’s Christmas decor for props. 10/10 recommend!
