Merlion Restaurant

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 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.Food: 5/5

My wife and I shared a memorable dinner last Friday. Jimmy, our waiter, was attentive and very informative about the menu. The food was delicious and the vibe was very cool. We can't wait to visit again.Food: 5/5

Nice restaurant, bar, and lounge. Wendy provided great service; just the right amount of attention without being annoying. Went to happy hour. Drinks were generously poured- whisky and pinot. Had several appetizers- mussels, soft shell crab, spring rolls, corn cakes, and dumplings. Food was quite good and service great.

Our first time dining at Merlion and it won't be our last. I had heard good things about it from friends and we decided to try it during the HRW event. I admit having traveled to both Thailand and Singapore, I was a bit confused with the cuisine vs. moniker issue, but the curries we had were just about as good as the ones in Chiang Mai, she that's saying something. Vegetarian options: Plenty of veggie only options.

First time here. I was very impressed. Happy hour prices on apps. Was able to try several different plates at an extremely reasonable price. Service was excellent and informative.Food: 5/5

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.

Just an amazing place to eat in Seabrook. The food was amazing and the drinks were just what you need after a long day of work. We were celebrating a birthday and they took amazing care of us. I would highly suggest giving Merlion a try.Dine in: YesOutdoor seating: YesTakeout: Yes

Best place for adult dining, would not recommend bringing kiddos due to the artwork on the walls. The food is amazing and the customer service is top notch. Been a thousand times and by far is my favorite place for Pad Thai. You will not be dissappointed!Food: 5/5

Wow! I was blown away with Merlion. The patio had a nice view and the tables were socially distant from other diners. We were here for a birthday dinner and Pedro treated us fantastically. The service was impeccable and the food was outstanding! I can't wait to return when I am in the area.
