Lakeside Thai Food

"My husband and I were so pleased that we stumbled upon Lakeside Thai last night. It’s family owned…The wife, who is Cambodian, is the cook, while her husband takes orders, serves the food, and busses tables. He spent time explaining the menu, offered to customize each dish, and helping us make our selections. We shared Spring Rolls which were the best we’ve ever had. I chose Pineapple Fried Rice, minus the curry powder, and it was delicious. Hubby had Shrimp Fried Rice which was equally yummy. One note: They don’t have a liquor license but allow BYOB. We look forward to eating at Lakeside Thai again soon."

"This place is an absolute diamond in the rough. We were staying just around the corner and looking for a reasonably priced restaurant with some decent food. We ordered the Drunken Noodles and the Combo Fried Rice. This is some of the most authentic, home cooked Thai food we’ve ever had. …Seriously some of the best food I’ve ever had. Just a husband and wife operation, but holy smacks do they know how to cook. We will definitely, definitely be back. (Later note…we came back the next day and took and order to go…so good.)"

"Great food, friendly owners. The spicy fried rice beat any Thai fried rice I've ever had in San Antonio or Austin. Ever bite had the perfect level of spice where you keep wanting to go back for more. Green curry had great depth of flavor and was a big hit with us. Fried dumplings had the perfect sear and the sauce with the dumplings was addictive. Wouldn't change a thing."

"The short of it is very average Thai food. We wanted something can came across this on Door Dash. From the other review and some of the pictures, we thought this would be a good choice. Very easy to order online. It's not a long drive so we decided to take the drive and pick up for ourselves. Plenty of parking and as everyone has noted, pretty clean inside. I gave my name and within minutes, had my order. It was wrapped up nicely to avoid any spills during transport. We had the Tom Kha soup and it was okay, but not great or what I would call traditional. For the most part, like most Tom Kha soups I have had, but this came with onion and something orange I couldn't make out, but I've never seen onion or this other item ever in Tom Kai. For entrees, we had the Thai Chow Mein with chicken and Drunken Noodle also with chicken. The Thai Chow Mein was very disappointing as it doesn't come as advertised. The carrots were just sliced and typically they would be Julienne and crunchier. I think these carrots were previously frozen. It's also advertised to come with bean sprouts. In the photo on their menu, there seems to be a handful and look fresh and crunchy. I think I found two bean sprouts and they were overcooked. As for the meat, we ordered it with chicken and there were only a few pieces. And worst of all, the sauce. It was completely bland, flavorless sauce. For the Drunken Noodle, it was mostly the same. We ordered this also with chicken but they put very little meat in their dishes it would seem. And per their menu, it's cooked in a "dark soy sauce" but again, whatever sauce they used was very minimal and lacking any flavor. We were really excited to try this new place, but unfortunately, it is just average at best. The food you get will be hot and that is about the best thing I can say about this place."

"This is a hidden gem. Food is cooked fresh and comes out promptly. Clean facility and good amount of seating inside. Plenty of parking. Menu has a good variety. Do not serve alcohol, but BYOB. We enjoyed the dumplings fried as an appetizer, orange chicken and the pineapple fried rice. All very well done and would order again. Recommend you’d top by and try the new addition to the neighborhood."
