Thai Tina’s

Lunch was great. I had the avocado/​mango salad topped with grilled chicken and coconut soup very good.

What a weird bar. It’s run as if it were a nail salon. Barking orders, warm temperatures, and lukewarm reception. It’s a mix of Nail Bar and Hotel Bar flair. Would be popular for someone not from Texas expecting an Asian flair. Aside from my attitude, my beer is the coldest thing here. And as an aside: they do have live music tonight. Greg Shirley, an «up and coming country music star» is performing as I rant. Not bad. But it’s Fort Worth. We’re all country singers after a couple beers. Prices are on par with hotel industry.

We have known Tina and Jay the owners for the last 15 years and have become not only huge fans of their restaurant but also close friends. Tina is absolutely an amazing chef as well as being one of the kindest people I have ever know. We have used them for multiple catering events and they always knock it out of the park. The sticky rice is always perfect and they do a mango avocado salad with peanut dressing that is incredible. I am also a big fan of the hot chicken basil fried rice. If you like noodles you will love the pad see eew with either chicken or beef with brocoli, mushrooms, onions and bean sprouts in a dark soy sauce. If you want an appetizer try the lettuce wraps, the chicken satay which is grilled chicken on a stick with vegetables. The fried calamari is also very good. They also have seafood dishes. The sauces are all outstanding. It is my understanding that all of Tina’s recipes were handed down to her by her mother. In closing a great place to go if you are ever in downtown Fort Worth.

Decent food TERRIBLE service. Don’t come in unless you have plenty time to wait on things like water, your check, or getting your change/​card back after paying. After 3 visits I’ve had consistently, ridiculously long wait times even with a party of 1 or 2.

We had Christmas eve family dinner tonight. chicken satay and calamari for appetizers. I try calamari in every restaurant that has it and this is the best in town. I had the seafood curry for main dish and it was excellent! It was not crowded so we were able to sit and enjoy our dinner very peacefully. I used to work down town and would come here for lunch often. Tina’s and Killer Piranha are my favorite down town restaurants.

Quiet place. Probably one server and one in the kitchen. Waitress was very friendly. Soup came out fairly quickly and entrée about 15 min later. I had to get some work done so this place was perfect for me. Reasonably priced. I would visit again.

I love Thai food and feel it was just so so. I have had better. The Tom yum was above average thought

Visiting the Fort Worth area found this place on Unilocal!The food is delicious the service of as great. We def recommend this Thai place if your in the area! We had Pat se eww beef, jalapeño fried rice with chicken, Tom yum soup chicken it was all delicious!

I walked in from the rain after getting off from my internship and was greeted by Tina herself and helped quickly. I sat at the bar and ordered a water and a chicken pad see ew, it took maybe ten minutes for it to come out and it was generous portion. It came out smelling amazing and looked amazing and wow it tasted amazing! I’ve had my far share of Thai food and pad see ew and this was by far the tastiest pad see ew dish I’ve had. The sauce was perfectly balanced and just sweet enough, the noodles were all covered in it generously and the veggies were crunchy which created great texture. If I’m ever in the area again if come back for sure to try other dishes but maybe just for the pad see ew… the sticky rice with mango looked yummy too though might have to give that a try too.

My son’s rehearsal dinner was at Thai Tina’s in embassy suites. A buffet was offered with her steak, jalapeño fried rice, lamb chops, sushi-​me appetizer,
Thai noodle with shrimp, calamari, crab cake, and melon for dessert with variety cheesecake bites.
I was so pleased with the positive comments for all who attended. Ambience and service lovely.

Deliciously hot and spicy Thai food! This restaurant is a gem hidden inside the downtown Fort Worth Embassy Suites. Make the effort and eat here — WELL WORTH IT! Great place to host a birthday party dinner — which we did for a dear friend. Ask to meet Thai Tina herself she’s a hoot!

I was staying at the Embassy Suites Hotel on business earlier this week, and arrived late in the evening – tired, hungry, and in need of a good meal and some peace and quiet. Not wishing to walk far, I drifted over to Thai Tina’s, directly adjacent to the hotel, and plopped down.
A server arrived quickly, and within minutes I was enjoying THE most FANTASTIC Chicken Coconut Thai Soup on the planet. My world was transformed. It was simply the BEST such soup I have ever had (and I’ve lived and eaten all around the world for many years.) Savory, opaque, with a subtle and wonderful citrus edge, it’s generously filled with fresh mushrooms, onions, and meaty chunks of flavorful chicken. Tina told me it’s made «from scratch» and I believe her. I wanted to lick the bowl! Not kidding.
Next, the fried calamari. TRY IT! It, too, is terrific. Crispy and fresh! And the little bowls of various dipping sauces are fun to taste.
Everything was so good, I had to come back the next evening for more. I was not disappointed. Tina Steak was perfectly flavored and cooked. Sliced and placed on a bed of fried rice, with a side of salad, it was tender and lovely. Paired with a glass of Blackstone Merlot, it hit the spot and then some. To end things, I was served a Thai dessert (the name of which I don’t know), that featured sticky rice (perfectly cooked) in white and brown and drizzled with some magical sauce loaded with flavor, vanilla ice cream, and juicy slabs of fresh mango. My head was exploding! So delicious.
Tina herself, and her wait staff, are delightful, professional and a pleasure to talk with.
Thai Tina’s is highly recommended. I will go back each time I visit Forth Worth. Thank you for the experience, Tina!

After walking around for a few hours taking in downtown Fort Worth and attempting to find a place to grab some grub, my wife and I ended up back in our hotel at Thai Tina’s. Yes, this is a restaurant attached to the lobby of a hotel which is ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ a recipe for disaster. We were beat, our Seattle bodies and the 95 – 100 degree weather don’t match well, so we decided to give it a shot and take it up to our room.
I ordered the Panang Duck with no rice and extra veggies and my wife ordered The Bounjay (see menu for specifics on each dish). We had planned to order a separate appetizer, but upon seeing some of the items being brought out of the kitchen for other diners, we figured the amount of food would be fine for two people looking to share.
The food came out quickly, about 10 – 15 minutes after placing, and we took it up to the room. We discovered that Thai food is a bit of a pain to eat/​share in a hotel room with no real plates and plastic utensils (the sauce… what a nightmare!). Regardless, the food was tasty. I’m used to Japanese curry, so it always weirds me out a bit when I order a curry dish and the curry is «liquidy», but the Thai flavoring is so good it hardly mattered. I definitely preferred the duck dish to the Bounjay, but both were good (and of course, my wife preferred The Bounjay, who’d have guessed?).
The only part I didn’t like — they gave us both rice and ignored the request for extra veggies. We didn’t complain because we were hungry and the rice was surprisingly moist/​sticky (also something I grew up with), but there really wasn’t much of an excuse for the waitress (owner?) or kitchen missing this request as the restaurant was fairly dead at the time.
A quick note about the prices — I’d say it’s fairly priced for downtown Fort Worth for the quality/​amount of food. It was one of the better value meals we ate during our stay downtown. That said, it’s more expensive than what I’d expect to pay for similar food locally in the PNW.

After getting turned away from simply fondue we gave this place a try. Wow, is all I can say great Thai food. Try the lobster fried rice its
. Owner works on site is attentive and quick with the best Thai food in Texas. My son had the steak and shrimp all that’s left is an empty plate.

This place is horrible. from service to food. I will not be back here and wouldn’t recommend this to anyone. First off, the service was very slow and the servers seem to not know the menu very well. They were confused when bringing out the food. For food wise, it was just plain horrible. The Thai teas were ALL watered down and so was the coconut water. Food wasn’t any better either, I had gotten the Thai wraps which is basically a freaking pad Thai wrap in a burrito. I honestly didnt even know how to eat it. It was way too sweet. Pad see ew had no flavor whatsowhatever. Curry was bland also. Overall,
I would not come back here. This is NOT real Thai food. The price for this place is ridiculously expensive because the food just doesn’t match up to it.

I work in downtown and I’m Asian so I’ve been trying all the Asian restaurants around here.
You have to valet (I think this was the best part of my experiences) they were super nice and friendly! Valet is complementary, just tip!
I had the fried rice (pic posted) I have to agree with another Unilocaler… it reminded of me jambalaya instead of the typical Thai fried rice. Was the rice jasmine? I don’t how to explain it because I have never had thai fried like this. It didn’t taste bad just different. Like they stir fried the siracha sauce into the sauce to make it red… I’m not sure. Just wasn’t what I wanted.
Waitress didn’t know anything about thai food. It was my first time so I’m not sure if she was new. I asked her about many items and she was clueless!
And my biggest complaint is the menu… Please re do the menu. It’s complicated and why is the lunch special so tiny??? The pricing is not over priced for being in a hotel and in downtown but please make the menu easier to read.
I probably won’t be coming back I’ll rather eat at Tie down the street on Houston :)

This was an easy stop for me since I was staying in the Embassy Suites. The dining room is TINY, though that wasn’t a problem. Only two other tables had parties. The décor is nice, very elegant, though they ruin that by using paper table cloths. It’s the little things!
I got decent service, nothing to remark upon either way, and the food came out quickly.
The food let me down, though! You have to get Pad Thai to try a Thai restaurant, right? Well, I had maybe four little chunks of meat in mine. Definitely not worth the up-​charge to add meat. Prices are just all around REDICULOUS, entirely too high, and skimping on the meat just made things worse. I was served a plate with a pile of sauced noodles on the right, and all the veggies, etc, on the left. There were no peanuts anywhere, which was odd. The sauce lacked balance, with the sour notes dominating. It wasn’t unpleasant, just one-​dimensional. Noodles were piping hot and cooked perfectly, though.
With a few adjustments, I think this could be a fantastic Thai restaurant, but as it is, it’s just disappointing, especially for the top-​dollar prices.

I’m so torn about Thai Tina’s. The food is so, so delicious, but the service is so terrible. A long time ago, I learned not to go during lunch rush, so I usually go before or after (11 or 1). On more than one occasion, I’ve been literally the only person in the place and had to get up to refill my own water as servers were walking by, actively ignoring or otherwise not noticing me. Then I almost always have to walk up to the stand to pay when I’m done because there’s nobody around to notice that I’m done.
BUT THE FOOD IS SO GOOD, so I deal with it. Like I said, I’m torn.

I did not have high hopes for this restaurant when I realized it was located inside of a hotel, but I could not have been more wrong! The food was absolutely phenomenal! The spring rolls were about the best I have ever had, and the calamari was wonderful. I had the Massaman Curry for my entrée, and it was so good that I ate the whole thing (which, after eating all the appetizers, was sort of impressive. They serve a LOT of food.).
This may be one of the best Thai meals I have ever eaten!

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, THIS RESTAURANT IS LOCATED INSIDE THE EMBASSY SUITES HOTEL! IT IS NOT CLOSED! Now, for the review:
Everytime I come to this restaurant I am delighted with the exquisite presentation and delectable taste of the food. Thus far I have tried the Panang duck, Tina’s Thai steak, the Masaman Steak, Seafood Paradise, and Seafood Curry with Panang sauce. But my favorite is the Grilled Salmon with Avocado Panang sauce. I absolutely love the sticky rice and mango for dessert. I’m not quite sure why other reviews say that this place is closed, but it’s not true. Also, the service has always been commendable in the 12 times I’ve eaten here. Don’t forget to enjoy a cocktail or drink as you await your meal!
