coconut thai grill

went to coconut thai grill this past weekend. overall a great experience.

the interior is well-done with attractive art adorning the walls. we were seated promptly, and the servers were attentive and congenial (as is the norm in oriental establishments).

started with the summer rolls as an appetizer, served with peanut sauce. they were very good, nice balance of the various ingredients. the peanut sauce was lighter than others have had before, but it complemented the rolls very well.

for the main, got the drunken noodles (chicken). very nice flavor, generous portion.

had a taste of the coconut ice cream from a companion's dessert. it was solid as well.

overall, a great experience with solid food and attentive wait staff. will definitely be back.

this is the best thai restaurant i've visited so far. it's a small place and barely noticeable from a moving vehicle. this is like a gem found in the mud. small cozy, old fashioned & clean restaurant. friendly staff & amazing food. pricing was also reasonable. i've tried the coconut lemonade, thai basil chicken fried rice and tom kah coconut soup. extremely satisfied with my visit today. thanks to my buddy to show me this place.

went for lunch and ordered the thai fried rice and added chicken breast. i loved the portion size, taste was very good. i've had better thai, but not for the price. meal was $9 and worth every dollar. i would eat it again for sure.

after seeing the 4 that this place got on zomato i pushed myself to drive the 20 miles to get there. the ambience was pleasant and the place was clean. we ordered the sweet corn patty and the fresh spring roll for appetizers. they were both enjoyable and good. our main course was vegetarian yellow curry with rice, and spicy eggplant in brown sauce. the yellow curry was very watery but taste was alright. the eggplant on the other hand was not cooked soft and was s disappointments. my kiddo ordered coconut milk soup with a side of rice noodles. the soup was very ordinary. it's possible that we have some of the best thai restaurants in plano/ frisco that this one failed to shine. a good place if you happen to be in the area..but not really worth the drive!

i have been to this place many times and every single time it has served some amazing food.

food:

this is one of the best places for vegetarians with wide range of options to try out. we tried many things in our most recent visit. we started off with mocktails and went for veggie egg rolls and coconut pineapple soup in appetizers. coconut pineapple soup was exotic and a must try in case you want to move away from traditional soups to try something new. veggie egg rolls were subtle in taste and made a great appetizer along with the sauce they serve. these guys excel at noodles - pad thai and drunken noodles (pad kee mao) were amazing with great blend of tastes. we went for tofu as a protein, which was very good and soft, easy to break and blended well with the noodles. while both the entrees were great, i would prefer pad thai over drunken noodles. make sure you don't order the noodles "high" spicy or else you'd just not be able to eat it if you are not used to "very spicy" food. however, the best was yet to come when we went for dessert. their fried banana with coconut ice-cream is extremely good and concluded our dinner perfectly.

ambiance:

the ambiance of the place is very good. it is pleasant and peaceful, something which you always want for dinner. and if you are looking for some candle light dinner arrangement, this is the place to be. there is a sitting arrangement outside, which i presume, would be during their lunch service.

service:

the service at this place is quite slow but it's worth it with the quality of food that they serve. the waiters are really good at providing good suggestions depending upon your preferences and always ready to help.

overall, this place is must go to have gourmet thai food in an excellent ambiance and great service. also, keep your stomach empty before going here since the portions, especially the entrees, are large and if you are going for a three course dinner, you would invariably end up boxing up the entrees for sure.

dinner last night was so good that i had to check if i had written a review for one of my favorite hidden gems. alas, i had not! coconut thai grill was the reason i stopped visiting chain thai restaurants. each dish is uniquely delicious in their own ways and when you add your level of spicy - it elevates any dish. i am a huge fan of their beef & broccoli and the spicy catfish.

the peanut sauce is worth it.. very good food. i plan on returning and trying more of the menu. the massaman avocado, peanut chicken, chicken satay have been very good. $4 beer isn't bad. the service was ok -- took a long time to get our food out but once the place started to empty out there was more attention to us. i will go back and order peanut sauce to go, it's some of the best i've tasted.

good food but worst service. i was so mad about their services. waitresses were rude and mean. food is good but u cannot accept their service.

best thai food in the area. great service, awesome food, and they are very knowledgeable about gluten free.

hidden gem. best thai in dallas . . .

that being said, i really liked coconut thai! it's a bit hidden from the road and it doesn't look like much on the outside, but the inside was very cute. it's decorated with a coconut theme (makes sense right?) and it has a cozy feel. coconut thai offers a pretty large selection of food. i went the safe route and ordered the house fried rice with chicken.

drunken noodle (chicken) is the best dish

excellent. great variety of dishes. crab fried rice has real crab. pad thai was the best i've had. excellent spice. great atmosphere. tiny and a bit hard to find, but worth it. if this place was in addison, they would need more seating. great hidden gem.

i agree with others. this place was average. the wait staff seemed confused to find us waiting for a table at the hostess stand. service was okay as was the food. we'll stick to best thai at belt line and midway.

very average. the rating seems to be off.
