Wow!!! Finally Galveston has a real Thai restaurant. We had Thai basil chicken fried rice and the double crab pad Thai, both were fantastic. We look forward to going back and trying more items on their great menu. It’s always so wonderful when the owners are present... greeting you and helping with the food service.

We spotted a charming restaurant driving back to our hotel after exploring The Strand. It caught our attention because it had a lovely courtyard and was tucked away among the buildings. We decided to give it a try for lunch today. I ordered the chicken fried rice, my daughter got the Khao Soi chicken, and my wife went for the Pad Woon Sen chicken. My wife also indulged in the Strawberry tea. It was visually stunning and even more delightful. That alone will definitely have her coming back. The restaurant had a great vibe. It was spotless, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and they took excellent care of us. We’ll definitely be back again!

Stopped by for lunch on a Sunday. We had a couple of appetizers - fried tofu and chicken gyoza. The kids had Khao Soi and I had the Penang curry. The food was pretty good. What we really appreciated was the atmosphere and ambience. The restaurant is brightly lit and has very fresh decor. It’s almost like an afternoon tea place look. Service was good. The outdoors area has nice seating to enjoy your meal. Will return if we are ever in the area again.

Came here during a girls trip and had a wonderful experience! We had a large group but the reservation process was super easy and they were ready for us when we arrived. The servers were very kind and the food came out pretty quickly! We all really enjoyed our meal. Highly recommend the green curry and if you like spicy, they will deliver! The place also has cute photo ops inside and outside.

My first time here! I was craving spicy soup and had the Ton Yum soup, mild. The bowl was chock full of mushrooms, onions, a huge tomato wedge, 3 fat shrimp and cilantro. At first i thought the helping was a bit small for 8 but I couldn’t have eaten more, it was so filling. Perfect! I sat at the bar and got there near lunch closing time yet they never rushed me. Will go again!

This is quite a little gem of a place. I went for lunch and their lunch special is a very good value, which includes main, salad and crispy spring roll. Very calm vibe inside and it looks out upon a courtyard. Food was excellent and prepared by a chef from Thailand. Even little things like the dressing for the salad was done really well. Would happily return the next time I am in town.

Absolutely obsessed with this place! The Garden on the Strand is truly one of our favorites — from the moment you walk in, the energy is warm, happy, and inviting. The decor is adorable, full of charm and little touches that make it feel special without trying too hard. The food? Incredible. Every single dish was packed with flavor — fresh, vibrant, and SO satisfying. If you like spice, you’ll be seriously impressed. The heat levels are no joke (in the best way), but the flavor never gets lost. It’s that perfect balance. Special shoutout to the staff — so friendly, welcoming, and on top of everything. You can tell they care about the food and the people. It just makes the whole experience feel even better. Whether you’re local or just visiting Galveston, The Garden is an absolute must. I’ll be dreaming about those flavors until I come back.

Amazing restaurant and such a hidden gem on the strand. I've eaten here/ordered to go at least 5 times and each time the quality and consistency of the food is superb. Their spring rolls are some of my favorite that I've tried. I recently tried the duck curry and it was delicious. I highly recommend checking this spot out next time you're on The Strand! You won't be disappointed!
