coconut thai grill

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. agoodplace 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 verygoodand 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 extremelygoodand 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 reallygoodat providinggoodsuggestions 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 sogoodthat 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.. verygoodfood. 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 isgoodbut u cannot accept their service.

good thai. with the number of thai restaurants growing it's hard to separate from the herd. coconut grill is verygoodalthough i'm not sure if they are breaking any new ground. but, if you need a thai fix even until 3am they are open and the food is solid. the only drive thru thai that i know of.

food was fantastic. the food was amazing. we had:
shrimp summer rolls - delicious, the sauce that comes with it is sogoodwith the fresh greens and shrimp.

sweet corn patty - one of my favorite parts of the night. i will probably get this appetizer every time. the sauce that comes on the side is sweet and sour cucumber sauce.

coconut chicken - thumbs up. we got the chicken with the sticky rice.

shrimp and tofu pad thai - really good, i was getting really full at this point.

fresh mango over coconut sweet rice - how have i gone this long without trying this dessert anywhere? by far my favorite part of the meal. i love mango, rice, and coconut. the presentation was fantastic.

the server knew i had never tasted green tea ice cream so she brought us some. very nice and family oriented place. i will probably eat there once a week.

absolutely delicious! friendly service,goodsize portions! the coconut soup was sooooogoodand even the thai tea was better here! can't wait to go back!

really nice place with food to match. i was in town and a friend of mine took me to this hideaway. i have to say it has verygoodthaifood and coming from me that says a lot. if im ever in town ill be by there to eat.
