Morningside Thai Restaurant

Passed down through several generations of owners, the kitchen highlights central Thai home cooking, balancing distinct hits of spice, sour, sweet, and salt. The menu pairs staples like pad kee mao, chicken fried rice, and fragrant red curry with well-loved sides like cheese rolls and shrimp rolls. Positioned between the Medical Center and NRG Stadium, the quiet, cozy dining room turns out generous spreads that fit both a brisk lunch rush and an unhurried dinner.
