Prik Nam Pla Thai Cuisine - San Marcos

The curries are incredible and clearly marked as vegan—definitely some of the best I've ever tasted! Just make sure to request no fish sauce in the noodle and fried dishes for a fully vegan experience.

This is a spacious Asian market that also features a Thai restaurant. I find a good selection of Thai ingredients at reasonable prices here. While it may not be as large as H-Mart, I really enjoy all the Thai dishes, which are very authentic. The crazy fish balls are a must-try! The staff is friendly and has a great service-oriented attitude.

You couldn't ask for a better local restaurant! We've been eating here for years, and the food was always good. It is a real family-run restaurant, and you can say that they are proud of the food they make. My family loves Curry, and even my parents of Houston agree that this is the best. You can also not go wrong with one of your rice or pasta dishes! Our friends and family were all introduced in Prik Nam Pla and often ask them when they come to visit. It is so popular in our circle that in a 9-day period my parents wanted to order it, then a friend came to visit and order it a few days later, and then my wife's parents came to visit and order the following weekend. Today I went to lunch and left my food at the switch (no caffeine brain mist). John came after me when I moved out of the parking lot to give me my food. Great people! Great food! The market has an amazing selection of hard to find food items!

Pretty good Thai food! The pad is prik gaeng (left) and shrimp basil fried rice. Both excellent. We also had Pad Thai, Tom kha soup and Pad woon sen. In addition, the market selection for size is surprisingly robust. The times when I went for selected Asian ingredients, they had it including dried ****, Kelp and golden mountain sauce.

You have the LIFE CHANGING Curry here. The red curry is the spiest followed by the green (although it is almost as spicy as the red), followed by the yellow. All are good options, and the spicy levels range from 5/10 7/10. The three curries have different ingredients, so choose the one that sounds most attractive to you. You have other good dishes, but the curry is the best here. And, yeah, better than Thai in town. The cook is an older man who doesn't speak English. The woman does it, and she is the creator of the curry recipe. We offered her $300 for the recipe, but she said no. I don't blame her. I don't think there is WiFi; I could be wrong, because every time I go, I'm too busy enjoying my wife's society and amazing curry. Customer service is decent. There are only 4 5 tables, so call if you want to make sure you get a seat... they will reserve one for you. And the curry takes about 30 45 minutes to prepare, but not when you call. After eating, I recommend tasting her mochi ice cream!
