This is it if you're looking for an authentic and delicious Thai restaurant. I've been to Thailand numerous times so I'm very picky when it comes to Thai food and not many Thai restaurants in Austin would make it close to what real Thai food is until I found Ros Niyom. Our favorites:
Tom Kha: coconut soup made with kaffir lime leaves, lime juice, lemongrass, galangal, and spices. Warm and comforting. Mild spicy level adds nice heat to it.
Pad Thai: very good traditional Thai noodles dish. Squeeze some lime juice and mix up the noodles with bean sprouts and chopped peanuts. Sweet, savory, and tangy in one bite.
Som Tum: papaya salad, just like how it is in Thailand. $8.50 is a bit pricey for plain som tum since it's a very small portion of papaya salad with a huge part of raw cabbage.
Fried trout with fish sauce, mango and red onion: very yummy. It's big enough to share between 2-3 people. Be aware of the chopped chili in the fish sauce. Thai chili is no joke and we tend to think it's green onion under dark lighting.
Service: Super excellent! Our water is always filled up as soon as it gets to half way. The whole staff is very friendly and attentive, especially Peter. Peter is very welcoming and makes you feel like home. He works with passion and truly wants to share the beauty, the culture and his delicious cuisine with the world. Peter remembers us and what we told him a couple of months ago. This is where the difference is made when it comes to customer service.
Interior: It's a small restaurant, very nice and cozy.
Pricing: Reasonable. The portion of each main entree is not too big, not too small. It's a good amount to leave you satisfied.
Ros Niyom and Peter: Thank you for bringing the real authentic Thai food to serve Round Rock and Austin. Thank you for your care and your amazing service.
