Super Thai Cuisine

"If all you see walking in are the big, colorful letters “SUPER” outside of the restaurant, you know everything you need to know. Up front is a takeout operation where phone lines buzz and guests shuffle in and out every few seconds to pick up their orders. But just past that host stand is a cozy dining room and a long bar where you can order from a massive menu of Thai classics and regional specialties. Snag some spring rolls—they’re packed full of basil for a refreshing herbal punch—and a papaya salad to help clear the sinuses and your palate a little. Then get some crispy fried duck swimming in a pool of red curry with cherry tomatoes, pineapple, and lychee. It’s rich, spicy, and a little bit sweet from all that fruit." - nicolai mccrary

And just past that host stand is a cozy dining room and a long bar where you can easily walk in and order from a massive menu of Thai classics and regional specialties. But for our midday meal, we like ordering off the weekday lunch menu—the smaller dishes hit the spot without leaving us needing a post-lunch nap.  " - adele hazan, nicolai mccrary, raphael brion

"Sap’s Fine Thai Cuisine’s takeover of Krua Urban Thai, the Southeast Asian restaurant on South Lamar, is now complete with a new name: Super Thai Cuisine." - Nadia Chaudhury
