Thai Fresh serves up made-to-order dishes and delightful homemade ice creams, featuring a unique counter service that reflects a blend of cozy vibes and culinary adventure.
"Thanks to ingredients like fish sauce and dried shrimp, a lot of Thai food isn’t super vegetarian-friendly. But Thai Fresh does offer a very flexible menu that allows for a ton of substitutions. As a result, we find ourselves here often—sometimes when we’re trying to meet in the middle with friends with picky diets, but sometimes just for an order of excellent khao man gai (sorry vegans, no subs on that one). Start with some mushroom egg rolls, then get some pad thai with pork belly or tempeh. A meal here tends to fall on the lighter end, but you can certainly fix that by doubling up on desserts (which actually are mostly vegan)." - nicolai mccrary

"For a Thai take on fried chicken, check out the Bouldin Creek restaurant. There are chicken wings, fried chicken plates with sticky rice, and a sandwich. It’s important to note that while the chicken is gluten-free, it is still fried in the same fryer as gluten items. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury
"The Bouldin Creek spot from chef and owner Jam Sanitchat is a restaurant-slash-cafe-slash-bakery that focuses on Texas-sourced sustainable ingredients. The cozy South Austin spot offers traditional dishes like papaya salad and green curry fried rice. The small market also sells Thai ingredients like herbs, lemongrass, chilies, curry pastes, and much more. Takeout orders can be placed online or in person; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Erin Russell, Nadia Chaudhury
"For Thai New Year, the Bouldin Creek Thai restaurant is hosting a crawfish boil this April on its patio. Chef Jam Sanitchat will use tom yum and lemongrass soup ingredients to boil the mudbugs, served alongside other Thai dishes like grilled pork and sticky rice skewers and grilled chicken. It takes place on Saturday, April 13 and runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m." - Nadia Chaudhury
