The 13 Best Thai Restaurants In Austin - Austin - The Infatuation

"Thanks to ingredients like fish sauce and dried shrimp, a lot of Thai food isn’t super vegetarian-friendly. But Thai Fresh does offer a very flexible menu that allows for a ton of substitutions. As a result, we find ourselves here often—sometimes when we’re trying to meet in the middle with friends with picky diets, but sometimes just for an order of excellent khao man gai (sorry vegans, no subs on that one). Start with some mushroom egg rolls, then get some pad thai with pork belly or tempeh. A meal here tends to fall on the lighter end, but you can certainly fix that by doubling up on desserts (which actually are mostly vegan)." - nicolai mccrary
