Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Houston is particularly rich in Thai restaurants, having more than 70. This one is in a strip center along the Southwest Freeway, practically next door to a taco joint, 100% Taquito, that I recommend below. You, the reader, might suspect that I'm being lazy for listing two restaurants practically next door to each other, but if you go and taste the food, you'll see that I only have your best interests at heart. If you have an appetite, do yourself a favor and order the assorted appetizer platter. From there you can go in any number of directions: healthy (barbecued lemon grass tofu or lettuce wraps), spicy (blazing noodles), classic (pad Thai), or curry (Panang). These are all favorites. Also on the menu are some Vietnamese-style vermicelli dishes, which are there through historical accident. The restaurant used to be Vietnamese, and when the present owner bought the place, the neighborhood regulars wouldn't allow him to drop these dishes from the menu.
