I was not aware meat came from Restaurant Depot. I don\'t know if it is machine slaughtered meat. Regardless, I found the food so-so. The Pad Thai was bitter and too sweet. Most of the dishes, while pretty presentation-wise, had a lot of soy sauce, or were average in taste.

I am great fan of thai and quite often ear here. One of the only \"halal\" thai food in DFW. But unfortunately its confirmed that the meat/chicken is from Restaurant Depot. Please fear Allah, this is not halal only EAT zabihah hand slaughtered meat and chicken.

Noodle Wave has proven itself once again as the golden standard for zabihah thai food in DFW. Every dish we had was excellent. We got 5 things: Chicken Tom Yum Soup, Almond Sriracha Chicken, Chicken Cashew Udon Noodles,Penang Curry, and a Mango Sticky Rice. All had unique flavor and a nice kick to it. I liked the chicken cashew udon the best. It's not spicy but very moist and flavorful. If there is one thing I can criticize it's getting to THIS location. If you haven't driven to mckinney before, the highway to get to the restaurant is under major construction so it's very easy to miss it if you are not careful. Take the el dorado exit and stay on the highway and you'll get there. The food was definitely worth the long drive and i'll definitely will try out their frisco location which is closer.

The reviews don't lie! Noodle Wave creates and serves the tastiest halal Asian food I've ever tasted; and I've tried many places across the US & Canada as well as Singapore & Malaysia. I had the Almond Siracha Chicken and Chicken Spring Rolls. Both were very flavorful and fresh. To top it all off the service was great and the prices very reasonable. I will be going back to try other dishes and their Cinnamon Fried Ice Cream.

Awesome restaurant and this location is better than the other. Their pepper steak is mind balasting'. Not a huge fan of Thai iced tea but everyone has said its amazing. All dishes tried were generally solid in taste.

My favoritist halal restaurant ever in DFW. I could eat here everyday. The lunch special rocks and is always so much that I end up getting half of it packed to go. Everything on the menu is delish! I can go on and on about how much I like the McKinney NoodleWave Location. Just trust me.. It's that awesome. I bring my coworkers here every chance I get. They always leave pleased. I always encourage them to wrap up their meal with fried ice cream. No one has complained about my recs for this place yet. PS.. Go check out the bathrooms and tell me if you have ever seen better in any other halal/Muslim owned place.

BEST HALAL PLACE EVER! I go there with HUGE parties of my friends and they are able to handle large tables with ease, it's a great place for family too. Get the Roti Curry! Everything is presented beautifully and I love how the waitress will ask you if you want this or that because she remembers what you always order. Feels like family there!

My review is for the Richardson location: Excellent Thai food. This has to be one of the best Thai places in TX and then it is Halal as well which is an added bonus. I would recommend their pad thai, Singapore noodles, Panang curry, spicy tung tac, Mangolian beef, peanut curry, roti curry ... and the list goes on and on. I have not been disappointed by any dish here. By the way they have a four tiered pepper scale, 4 being very hot and 1 being the least. I tried both 3 and 4 pepper scale and found 3 to be mild and 4 to be not hot enough for me. My only complain would be that they need a bigger place as I have had to wait over 30 minutes to get seated when I accompanied a party of eight.

We visit frequently -- this place has awesome tasting food -- one of the best Thai. We've found service to be somewhat snooty -- after serving food, they never both to come ask you how's the food, etc.

Just went to this place last week for the first time. I was visiting from Chicago and read the reviews on this site. Absolutely awesome food! I had the mongolian beef and also the yellow coconut curry dish. Both tasted amazing. The banana puff dessert was outstanding and my dinner guest and I left overwhelmingly full. The atmosphere and decor was nice and perfect for dinner. I would definitely recommend this.

I am writing this review about their new location in McKinney, TX. The location is one of the shops in a shopping center, but very nicely decorated. Ambience is great and the staff is very friendly (to both adults and children). The food has the same quality as their original location, but the menu items are a bit different. The owners are muslims and they have a big 'zabhiha food' sign on the front. The only halal thai food place (2 locations) in Dallas/Ft. Worth that I know of. If you like thai food, you must try them.

I've been to both Noodle Waves and I think that this one is definitely better. The food is amazing and the restaurant is a a lot less packed. Nice decorating in the place too. I've also heard the original Noodle Wave has gone down in taste ever since this one opened. Maybe cuz the chef came here. Anyway this place is definitely worth the visit
