Magnolia Thai is a wonderful gem. Miss Lek and Aaron are two of the nicest people in the world, and Rose and Jik are amazing, too. All of the menu items are from Miss Lek's recipes, and her food is wonderful. All of the curry offerings are great, including the panang curry, which isn't listed on the menu. The veggie delight and cashew nut are also quite tasty, as is the orange chicken and Thai fried rice. The food is always served fresh and steaming hot, and tastes so good. Bring the whole family and experience true Thai hospitality. You won't be sorry! Highly recommended, five stars!

We generally enjoyed our last minute delivery of Thai for dinner. The low point was the Tom Kha soup. While the first notes of citrus lemongrass and galangal were lovely, the lingering low notes of something funky (possibly just way too much fish sauce or some other fermented secret ingredient) was overwhelmingly strong and effectively resembled, how to say this lacking a better description, like regurgitation. As this is the first time we tried this soup from any Thai restaurant I can not tell you of this is be design but we will not be repeating that mistake. The E12. Orange Chicken was good but could have used more sauce and vegetables . The Pad kee mao was quite good. The Masaman Curry was bought as a curiosity spare entree. We all liked it very much! In fact what was left over was enough to turn into an entree for two when I fried a pack of firm tofu added the leftover white rice and stirred it all together. They get bonus points for knowing how to cook tofu without turning it into rubber as the others near us all seem to do. And I savored every drop of the Thai iced tea, yum! We will gladly order from here again.

This is now one of my top Thai restaurants! I LOVE curry and the Masaman Curry was so so good ( I added mixed veggies for some extra) and the Pad Thai was ordered at the spiciest level and they didn't skimp on the spice at all! Very spicy indeed and the fiancé loved the flavor. So delicious will be ordering again for sure.

The E5. Yellow Curry was absolutely AMAZING!!! I added shrimp and rice xtra veggies. There were so many veggies and shrimp that imay have needed more juice. This place give 10 stars. I do not eat rice so called the restaurant and asked if the could change it out for white onion and it was DELICIOUS!!! Everthing was delivered beyond my expectations!! WAY TO GO MAGNOLIA THAI, I WILL be reordering!! The A2. Fried Spring Rolls were also really good!

This place is consistently delicious. Definitely one of the best Thai places in north Houston! The Thai Fried Rice is always yummy and very filling. Just tried the Red Curry for the first time and was equally amazing as the other items. Love this place!!!
