- JJa’NaeHouston •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoAfter having a bad experience at another restaurant, my mom and I tried this place based on a recommendation. All though it was crowded (Friday night) we were almost immediately seated in the back with a candle for ambiance. As it was our first time to the restaurant, the server kindly guided us to the most popular dishes and informed us MULTIPLE times to start with Thai Mild (or no spice!) as it was authentic Thai food and the heat was no joke. So we heeded the warning and ordered Tom Yum Soup Shrimp for an appetizer, which came in a cute burner holder, Pad See Ew with Pork, and Crispy Pork Belly which was Devine and the sticky rice was a nice touch! I am pregnant so I ordered a Moscow mule mock-tail, which was awesome! The great thing about this place is that the dishes are meant to be shared and the portions are healthy! My mom and I only needed two dishes! Thank you again for the great service and making us feel welcome! We will definitely be back!More infoStreet To KitchenPrice: Expensive• Thai• East End•4.7

- VVirgilioVIPHouston •101 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoFiori was a quick pick close to home, but it turned out to be an excellent choice. Everything we tried was delicious - the burrata fritta and bresaola as starters, followed by the fried lamb chops, eggplant parmigiana, and lobster ravioli were all excellent. And the service was really great - Laura and her colleagues made sure we had everything we needed just when we needed it. Overall very well worth the trip and we will certainly be back.More infoFioriPrice: Expensive• Italian• Montrose•4.3
