Austin’s Best New Restaurants Serve Exciting Asian Foods in Spring 2024 | Eater Austin
"In its diner-like North Loop counter-service spot, I found chef Thai Changthong leaning into very traditional Thai Chinese food anchored by his mother’s khao man gai recipe — tender chicken with chicken‑fat rice, sweet chili sauce, cucumbers, and chicken broth — plus a fried version and robust noodle soups and daily specials. The team took over the former Tex‑Mex Vamonos (keeping yellow painted walls and adding spill‑proof cloths), and the larger kitchen allowed them to expand into boat noodles, Thai sukiyaki, and fried pork bellies; there are indoor and outdoor seats and online takeout. Know before you go: all P. Thai’s dishes are made with meat, so take vegetarian friends elsewhere." - Nadia Chaudhury
