"Over the course of a few hours, chicken at P Thai’s gets prepped, poached, cooled, hung to dry, and whispered words of affirmation to bring about the most tender meat possible. The end result is the best khao man gai in Austin. This same zen-like focus extends to the rest of the small but mighty menu, made up of regional Thai street foods like the spicy boat noodles that are rich with pork blood, or a highly refreshing pig tongue salad. P Thai’s is not a fancy place for a long evening hang—they don’t even serve alcohol—but unless you have an upcoming vacation to Thailand scheduled, it’s a place you’ll want to get to as quickly as you can." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs, raphael brion
