Zato Thai Restaurant

Too bad I can't give half stars because this is really a 4.5 star in my opinion. I got the Pad Thai, while it wasn't awe inspiring it was still really, really good. Hubby got Pad See Ew which was equally good. Next time I'm in The Woodlands and in the mood for Thai I know excatly where I'm going. And FYI we were there around 2:30. I'm assuming the people who had issues at that time were the only customers in the restaurant.

Very pleased with our Thai experience here. The restaurant has a very pleasant and quiet atmosphere. Lighting is fairly low but enough to read. The staff is very friendly and courteous. The food was excellent! We really enjoyed an herbal chicken appetizer. For dinner, I had the Rama Long song beef (hot level 4) which is a peanut sauce based dish and my wife had the yellow curry (mild heat). Both excellent!

We’ve been ordering take out/dash for the last couple of weeks and this place has some of the best fried rice hands down. We always get the crab fried rice and the yellow chicken curry but I’ve had lots of their items on the menu. If you want incredible fried rice, however you may want it, this is the place.

We had dinner here with friends for their birthday being this friend had grown up in Thailand. I was surprised more people were not in the restaurant. The food was good, the service excellent, and we will be back. It is a dated interior but don't let that stop you from enjoying their food. It was a positive experience.

Decided to try them for a quick lunch. Big mistake. I ordered a fried rice with chicken , they have "4" levels of spicy. Chose the second to lowest. Unpalatable. Cook seems to pour the sauce ad libitum. Left most of it, hungry and in a hurry. No effort to substitute or refund. First and last time for me. You don't need my business. If your food is as spicy as it was served to me on the mild - very spicy spectrum, then your food is not for really me. Plus greasy....
