KATY, TX (Covering Katy News) - The Thai Cuisine Ramen King & Sushi Bar (TCRK&SB) restaurant is a neighborhood gem.
During a sudden craving for Asian food, we Googled for options, and the restaurant with the long name popped up. The reviews were good, and so were the photos. So we headed to the Villagio at the corner of Peek Road and Westheimer Parkway. There is also a Spring Green Boulevard location.
After scanning their lengthy menu and reading what each item included, it was clear that we made the right choice.
I ordered the Tom Yum with chicken as a starter. It is a Thai lemongrass soup with a distinctive flavor from its mix of fresh spices, tomato, onion, mushrooms, and green onion. The photo convinced me to order it. The great flavor will cause me to order it again.
For the entree, I had the sweet-and-sour shrimp. Customers can choose the amount of spice that they want. My plate had just enough zip to complement the flavors. There was a generous amount of shrimp in an authentic and flavorful sauce cooked with freshly sliced tomatoes, onions, pineapple, bell pepper, cucumbers, and carrots, served with a side of white rice that complemented the colorful dish in taste and appearance.

Sweet and Sour Chicken
My daughter ordered the crispy spring rolls. It was all she could eat after a post-holiday shopping trip that included a large lunch. Her order was tasty and came with the restaurant's hand-crafted dipping sauce.

The Crispy Spring Rolls
The food was memorable and we'll be back with a grateful appreciation for two locations close to home. A possible selection on the next trip is one of their numerous sushi rolls. From the dining room you can see their chef making each one to order.
The service was great, as was the food, and in this inflationary time the price was right too - $40 plus tip for the food and soft drinks.
