Merlion

If I could give this place 10 stars I would!!! We had the absolute BEST sever Shaye! The best we’ve ever received at a restaurant! Shaye knew the menu so well and every item she suggested was perfect! We were there to celebrate many milestones such a birthdays, anniversary, and engagement and Merlion did not disappoint!! But what truly made this dining experience stand out was the exceptional service we received from Shaye. From the get-go, Shaye's attentiveness was remarkable; seemed to anticipate our needs before we even voiced them. She described each dish with such enthusiasm and detail that I couldn't help but trust her recommendations and so glad we did! She went above and beyond to make us feel like a valued guests creating an atmosphere of genuine hospitality that's hard to find these days. So started with shrimp in the mussel sauce along with the French bread! Oh my word it was amazing! Then on to Kao Pad with sirloin and seared snapper with raad prick! All the dishes were just amazing. This was by far one of the BEST dining experiences we have ever had! Food was great but Shaye was a gem and she was stellar! Before we book we want to make sure she’s there and asked to be seated in her section. We highly recommend this restaurant. We will be back!

This was a wonderful place! The whole restaurant was decorated for Christmas, and the atmosphere was so welcoming and relaxing. The service food and drink were very reflective of the environment, with seasonal options and fun interactions. I was blown away with the selections of meats that can be alternated with your favorite dish. This was my first time here, and I’ll definitely be coming back.

This is by far the best Thai food I’ve ever had in the United States! It’s so authentic to the best cuisine I experienced in Thailand. The flavor profile in everything we tasted was absolutely amazing. Super impressed! They aren’t playing around with the spice level. Even if you like spicy food, a level 2/5 if extremely spicy - beware.

This place is one for the record books. Some of the best Indian food around. Careful with the spices the heat can get hot fast. I’m a spicy food lover and a 3 is my limit here. I’ve been here 3 times and had multiple dishes as we normally share. Everything had been so delicious. This is definitely one of our favorite places to come. Make a reservation early as they can fill up fast especially on busy nights. I love the fried rice, dragon dumplings, lobster dumplings and everything else on the menu.

My wife and I and two other couples, had dinner at Merlion Thai restaurant in Seabrook. Our server was Michael. This was my first Thai food experience and we decided to go during Houston Restaurant Weeks. For my first course I had the CHICKEN SATAY KABOBS which were chicken skewers served with peanut sauce. My wife had Lobster and goat cheese stuffed dumplings, garnished with avocados and topped with pineapple curry sauce. For the second course I had PAD MED MAMMUANG (STIR-FRY CASHEWS) which were Hoisen based sauce sautéed with mushrooms, onions, snow peas, water chestnuts and cashews. My wife had KANG KARI (YELLOW CURRY) which is Thai yellow curry with curry powder, potatoes, onions and cashews, with a hint of cumin, turmeric and cinnamon. My dessert was Coconut sweet sticky rice topped with fresh chopped strawberries. My wife had Cheesecake topped with mango puree. We also shared a bottle of Nine Hats Red Blend. I had asked the server to bring out extra spice on the side. The food was delicious. I did add some of the spice to the stir fry cashew and it really added some heat. The restaurant was very busy and the wait staff was clearly over worked. Michael was extremely friendly however we did have to wait a fairly lengthy amount of time for our first course and again for our check. I did not mark down for this since it was clearly not the server's fault, however I mention it because customers should adjust their expectations if there is a crowd, at least until the restaurant can adjust its number of staff. All in all we really enjoyed our first Thai meal at Merlion and we will definitely return.
