Hands down some of the best Thai food I've had in Austin! A small, humble, true hole-in-the-wall spot cornered right next to Elementary, this place is serving up some incredible, authentic Thai dishes - everything from your classic pad Thai and pad see-ew to the more niche kao soi dish and other entrees, this spot is officially my favorite Thai spot and I can't wait to revisit!
QUICK FACTS:
- Parking? Yes, open, ample lot with QR code parking. You get 2 hrs. validated and do NOT have to pay for parking - simply enter the restaurant and input your license plate to get free parking during your visit, before you get seated!
- Reservations? No, walk-ins only. It's a pretty small place so go early on weekends if you don't want to wait.
- Takeout? Yes, they offer delivery through third party apps and curbside pickup for orders via phone.
FOOD & DRINKS:
- Thai teas (5/5): Big fan of Thai tea and this was the best! The Thai green tea is rare and I enjoyed it so much. I got mine with coconut milk instead of half and half.
- Crispy spring rolls (4/5): Perfectly crisp and stuffed well. A good bite to start off your meal!
- Pad see-ew (5/5): I usually go for pad Thai or pad see-ew, and tonight I was in the mood for the latter. This was some of the best pad see-ew I've had. A simple dish, but can be hit or miss at Thai places - this was cooked to perfection and had the most well-balanced sauce and incredible flavor. A must order!
- Basil fried rice (5/5): The crispy basil was so tasty, and the rice was delicious!
- Kao soi (5/5): This is a hard to find dish, as it's not as common around Austin. I've had it in Thailand but rarely find it in restaurants here, so I was thrilled this place had it, AND it was so good! We opted for chicken as the protein. Flavor was fantastic! A creamy curry noodle dish. Heavenly.
- Mango sticky rice (5/5): The BEST mango sticky rice I've had anywhere! Love that they make it in the shape of a heart, so cute!!!
