"Chef Thai Changthong brings steady comfort at this North Loop restaurant with standout Thai Chinese dishes. The namesake khao man gai features poached chicken, chicken-fat rice, and a sweet chile sauce that brings it all together. Order the fried chicken if you’re in the mood for a crunchy treat, or try one of the rotating daily specials. Pro tip: Try all the sauces. Takeout orders can be placed online." - Darcie Duttweiler
"The Eater Award-winning casual counter-service North Loop restaurant is a 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 tender chicken paired with chicken-fat rice, a sweet chili sauce, cucumbers, and chicken broth. Don’t skip the noodle soups or the daily specials. Takeout orders can be placed online, but if you can, dine in so you can take cute photos of your plates atop the restaurant’s gingham-print table covers. Know before you go: Take vegetarian friends elsewhere — all P. Thai’s dishes are made with meat." - Erin Russell
"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
