P Thai, now flourishing in North Loop, serves up the city's best khao man gai, with perfectly tender chicken and a menu brimming with Thai-Chinese delights.
"This counter-service restaurant in North Loop has dishes you won’t find anywhere else in Austin. P Thai focuses on labor-intensive, regional Thai specialties, including the signature khao man gai, which probably started cooking before your morning alarm went off. Chicken anchors the menu, but you’ll also find crispy pork belly, a few fiery bowls of Thai noodle soup, and an incredibly refreshing pig tongue salad. Start with the salad and order a khao man gai combo to avoid making the tough decision between the poached and fried varieties. Then start planning your next visit for a bowl of boat noodles or sukiyaki." - nicolai mccrary
"The Eater Award-winning casual North Loop restaurant is the premier destination for comforting Thai Chinese dishes courtesy of chef Thai Changthong. The namesake khao man gai is the Thai iteration of Hainanese chicken, with such tender chicken paired with chicken-fat rice, a sweet chile sauce, cucumbers, and chicken broth. Don’t skip the noodle soups nor the daily specials. Takeout orders can be placed online." - Darcie Duttweiler, Nadia Chaudhury
