A quiet, relaxing spot with food so good it practically high fives your taste buds. I've now been twice with my vegan friend, and both visits were solid wins. I ordered the beef basil rice, my friend went for a tofu dish, and we both ended up raving like we'd just discovered fire. The service has been consistently pleasant--no drama, no chaos, just calm, competent humans bringing excellent food. The peaceful atmosphere doesn't hurt either; it's the kind of place where you can actually hear your own thoughts. And as a bonus perk, it's right across from Half Price Books, which means you can walk off your meal while convincing yourself you absolutely need another Coffee table book read more

One of my go to restaurants for consistently delicious and high quality Thai food! Chada Thai is excellent for both dining in and takeout. I usually stop in for their excellent weekday lunch special. Great service and cute atmosphere when dining in. I have ordered the following items from here - 1) Tom Kha Soup - an absolute delight with just the right amount of spice to give it a nice kick without becoming overwhelmingly spicy! 2) Pad ka Prow - minced basil chicken stir fried with green beans in a very light gravy. So delicious and light, served with jasmine rice. I often crave this! 3) Yellow or Panang curries are my personal favorites but really you can't go wrong with any of their curry choices. 4) Basil fried rice - a classic, must try dish at any Thai restaurant and Chada does it right! Highly recommend!!! read more

Chada Thai has delicious Thai food and is a very clean place to have dinner at. The portion sizes are big for the price as well. We had the golden bags for our appetizer. The drunken noodles are a staple and the tom kha soup was so creamy and not too sour. Service is quick too so this is a great spot in my book! read more

Ordered the Panang curry to-go and was very satisfied. The portion was generous, plenty of rice and curry, and the curry itself was everything you want: perfectly spicy, packed with flavor, and that ideal consistency that's thick but not heavy. Hit the spot on a cloudy day!! read more

Chada Thai Traditional Taste - C4. Panang Curry - Thai Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

I am a big supporter of Chada Thai however; we're disappointed during this visit. Looks like they remodeled place with new wall colors and new table setups. New looking menu however the dishes on the menu is still the same and the price can't be beat! The Pad Thai (4/5) is good but it's on the sweet and wet side. It's fusion so don't expect traditional flavor. We still like it! :-) I was craving for Papaya salad (3/5) so that's what we came here for and that's what we ordered. The ingredients in this dish was very fresh but it lacked the Thai flavor I was looking for; I think I was looking for the pungent fish sauce flavor which I sadly did not get from this dish. Chicken wings (3/5) was crispy. Dry type of wings but still juicy on the inside once you bite into the dry exterior. The wings were tossed in a flavorful salt and pepper type of mix. It comes with sweet and sour dipping sauce which I did not care much for; however given the wings are dry, it needs this dip to balance the dish. It's hard to find Khao Soi (3/5) here in texas so when I saw this on the menu, I was very excited. The dish came out looking amazing, unfortunately the flavor did not live up to its first impression. The Khao Soi I'm used to typically comes with pickled greens but the Khao Soi here did not have it. The broth was also lacking the fish sauce umami flavor. I really want to keep coming here but at this rate, I'm going to have to try other Thai restos in the area. Props to Chada for keeping the price low despite the current high cost and economic condition. Take my review with the grain of salt; I would still encourage you to visit Chada and try it out for yourself. read more

Came here and ordered for pick up. I love curry and usually just get the same thing everywhere I go. First off. Service was great. Friendly and helpful. Can't speak of the actual restaurant as I just waited in the front. I got the curry and wings. Curry was good, a little different than I am used to but it wasn't exactly "Red Curry". The rice was pretty dry but edible. The wings were tasty but super dry, whatever the rub or seasoning they use is bomb. If I was to go back I'm sure I'd just stick to the curry. Anyway for the most part pretty good. read more

We just got takeout, so can't really say much for an in-restaurant experience, but Chada Thai has some solid Thai food! The curries are so flavorful and pretty filling. And with those prices, it's so worth it! read more

This is our favorite Thai restaurant- we have been fans for 10 years, now. The quality and taste of the food has never wavered. This is truly the most flavorful Thai food in the Austin metro. The service is always fast and friendly! Great ambiance; they have recently remodeled. read more

***** 5 stars. Excellent service and food. Not only was the food good, it was hot and more than enough. We will definitely come back.

Food wasn't too good for the price .. portions also kind of small .. have tried other Thai places .. taste not too much

Consistent, good food! We've only done takeout, but it's always fresh and satisfying.

Sooooo delicious. Thai tea, Pad Thai, mango sticky rice. Definitely my new Thai spot.

My review is just for the house fried rice and Tom Kha soup. I'm usually a regular at Thai Lada but decided to branch out a bit for dinner this evening. The house fried rice was pretty underwhelming. Almost no color to it, very few veggies (almost thought I had mistakenly ordered the basil fried rice) and very bland. Thankfully I had a side of pepper oil and it added a bit of much needed flavor. The only pro is for the price it was a fairly large serving, and I'll have plenty for more meals during the week. Overall:3/5 The Tom Kha soup was pretty good, and portion size very satisfying even for the smallest option. Nothing too out of the norm here, just standard tasty soup. Overall: 4/5 Would I order food from here again? Eh, I think I've had better at other Thai places in the Austin area. I'll maybe give this place another try with some of their curries next. Flavor: 3.5/5 Price: 3.5/5 Value: 3/5 read more

Chada Thai Traditional Taste - House fried R1 House Fri Rice - Thai Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

Thai food that will scratch your itch but probably about it. Given the bevy of Thai options in Austin, probably would pick one of the others but if this is closest to you it's fine on the way back from work or if you're hungry and in the neighborhood. Wife and I both got pad see ew (chicken and tofu respectively) for takeout and while it has the rice noodles, Chinese broccoli and protein, the sweet soy vibe wasn't quite there and didn't feel like there was enough of the wok flavor. Had to add some additional sweet Thai chili sauce at home that we had in the fridge to really make it flavorful honestly. My wife has also gotten the beef salad before that's super spicy. read more

I've been coming here since it opened, and I've always been impressed by the consistency and prices. The staff is always very friendly and efficient. The register is one of those fancy computers that emails the receipt...so you can be ecologically friendly, keeping the liberals happy. There are different levels of spice that you can order...everything from bland to the kind of spice that burns you twice. read more

Good food. The pad Thai is excellent. I look forward to my next visit! Wonderful job.

Great Thai food location by a large movie theater. We ordered the pad Thai and crab fried rice and both were great! The flavors at this restaurant are different from most Thai places and I really enjoy it. I wouldn't say the flavors are like what we had experienced in Thailand but much better than the typical Thai food you get. This is our new local Thai go to! Restaurant is small but nice, wait staff is super friendly and they have great take out! Overall highly recommend! read more

I was really excited to see they had khao soi gai which I really like and find it hard to find. Theirs was tasty with a rich and pretty reasonably priced. We also had a Tom Yum which was very tangy with strong lemongrass flavor and my partner had the Pad Kee Mao which was also good. The ambience is casual and I think this is a great spot for Thai food in the Cedae Park area. read more

Quick and affordable Thai! Sometimes its pad thai is inconsistent, but its curry is always fantastic!

The food was alright and the server was nice and helpful, but my dad's dish took FOREVER to come out and we were not warned about the wait. Additionally, they brought my dish out way before my dad's and I was completely done eating before he even got his food. When he finally did get it, we both agreed it tasted like something akin to fried bologna. Definitely not worth the inordinate wait time (especially, again, without any forewarning). Food was also largely unsatisfying in terms of not being all that filling. Will not be returning. read more

A decent Thai place for takeout. We ordered takeout and found the food mediocre in terms of what's available around Austin. We ordered the green curry with pork, pad Thai with chicken and fried tofu, and mango sticky rice for dessert. The cream in the green curry broke, it still tasted okay but it just didn't look at appetizing. The pad Thai was good and the potion size is huge! Lastly, you can tell the mango sticky rice is pre packed and has been sitting for awhile. read more

I have been here more times than I can count. I'm not sure why I have failed to write a review for this place until now??????? This review is for the overall experience I had during multiple visits as opposed to just one visit. Usually, I am greeted promptly when I come in and when I place a phone order I am given accurate wait times for food preparation. Depending upon the time I order, the item can sometimes be great and sometimes just okay. The last order I placed that included a beef entree, I found the beef to be to tough. Conversely, the same order of this item two orders before this one, the beef was tender and had time to rest. Overall, this spot is good to great depending upon what you order and the day you order it. #supportlocal read more

Food:4.5/5 Ambiance:4/5 Order as shown in pictures Golden balls Veg basil fried rice Pannag curry with rice We reached restaurant at 8:30PM. 30 minutes before the closing time. Last call for food n order is 8:35pm so we had to be quick to order. All the things that we ordered exceeded our expectations. Golden balls are oily and hence 4.5 and not 5 out of 5. Basil friend rice has that smoky taste and perfect texture. You can ask for spice tray like we did and it goes well with friend rice. Curry I ordered at medium spice was so good. It is one of the recommended dishes from my side. Perfect balance of sweet, sour and spice. read more

I was in the mood for Pad Thai and came across Chad's Thai on Yelp. I've not had good luck finding Thai that is good enough to make me want to go back for more. All of that changed now. Their food was incredible! The Pad Thai was perfectly flavored. Egg rolls were crispy and on point. My friend got the pad sei ew which was equally delicious. Everyone was nice and helpful and the restaurant was clean. So excited to find my new go to for Thai in the area! read more

Finally REAL Thai food! I am Thai, so I grew up eating Thai food and I've been to Thailand several times. The food here really hit the spot and is not super Americanized like most Austin spots. As soon as I heard them speaking Thai, I knew this place was legit. We ordered Som Tom and Chicken Pad Thai, both of which were delicious! The portion size was also very generous, I had plenty to make 2 meals out of one dish. I also ordered Thai Tea, which really hit the spot! The servers were also very friendly and I had a great time there overall! I will definitely be stopping by here again for Thai food pretty regularly! read more

Chada Thai Traditional Taste - Thai Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

Absolutely 1 of the worst Thai I have ever tried. I've lived in Seattle 18 years and thought it'd be very hard for anyone to mess up Thai food because the flavors are so bold and amazing. This place served basil fried rice bundled like a chipotle burrito in foil and it was plain rice, barely any basil or any sauces. Red curry portion was a joke. Even a 5yr old would finish it and be hungry. Again curry barely had any flavor and despite the unusually small portion was $16!! read more

Chada Thai Traditional Taste - Bland basil fried rice packaged like a Chipotle burrito - Thai Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

Ordered a fried fish dinner today. Sizzling hot, meat succulent and moist. Seasoned perfectly a big portion and delicious to the last bite!

We got there at 6.50 pm. Ordered food around 7.05pm after waiting on waitress to notice us. I ordered a cup of Tom yum and pad Thai with chicken, and pad see ew with chicken for my son who was hungry and wanted to have some noodles. Pretty simple order, hard to mess up. My food came out at 7.15, but she let me know it will be shrimp and beef instead (kitchen error). I was ok with that, since I needed to go soon. Next she brought my sons order. I told her that looks like pad keen mao to me, I see it lighter in color and has some chili flakes. After I had tried it and told her it's spicy, she took the plate back to kitchen. She came back just to tell me I was right and they are working on pad see ew now. At 7.30 pm still no food. Finally at 7.35 she brought his plate and I brought up if she can tell manager to take care of the situation. When I went to pay up front, young girl apologized again and said manager can't do anything. Oh well, that's ok, but I leave honest feedback for service, kitchen error and how they handled it. Also I won't be back and would not recommend to others, since there are many better options for Some good Thai food. Oh, also place is dirty and pathetic. I took a pic of windows too, usually restaurant owners take pride in cleanliness and presentation. This place has lack of it. Also, just noticed while was waiting. They served Thai family first. They placed additional order of similar noodles after us and yet got it before us. "Very fair". Pad Thai was on a sweeter side, i would say too sweet. Pad see ew was too salty, but my son liked it. Bad experience. read more

Had A Chada Special Penang Duck for take out! Wow! Crispy and juicy at the same time. All the spices blended perfect

Yelp gets it right again - four stars. But there is a secret story that is being missed here. ********* Chada Thai looks like a standard American Thai restaurant. It has the menu of a standard American Thai restaurant. It is in the middle of a strip mall out in the suburbs Which screams standard American Thai restaurant. But it ain't a standard American Thai restaurant. ********* You will realize what is going on the first time you put a forkful of the food in your mouth. The food is firey hot. And it is NOT firey hot with the same flavors you are used to seeing in your grandmother's standard Thai restaurant. This shows up in the soups and it especially shows up in the noodles. Soups are often the grandmother mild dish at Thai restaurants to cool you off. There may be one or two spicy soups for the adventurous. The rest is comfort food. Noodle dishes are almost always served mild as comfort food. You don't get noodle dishes that blow the top of your head off. ************ As you can guess, soups and noodles blow the top of your head off here. And the fire-chili mix is different than what you usually see. I am guessing white peppers made their way into the soup we got. I am guessing that my noodles had way more red bird peppers than one usually sees. But those are guesses. If the owner rolls his eyes at my guess on the peppers and writes me off as a complete idiot, Well, Samuel C. is a complete idiot. I was surprised at first. I was unhappy at first. But I became increasingly engaged, Increasingly intrigued, And in the end, wildly in love. I warmed up to the noodles much the way the noodles were warming up everything else in my endocrine system. ****************** Note that this is not really a question of American versus "Authentic Thai". The nice thing about authentic Thai is that in Thailand every cook is different. People have a wide variety of choices in how they flavor or fire up just about anything. So if you eat in three neighboring restaurants in Bangkok, and You order the same dish all three times, It will still show up three different ways. Chada Thai has a cook with a mind of his or her own. Ya gotta love it, and I certainly do. ************* Minor notes: They do a sticky rice with egg custard, where the egg custard is a large solid block similar to a Japanese style tamago. Thumbs up and great for putting out the fire from your dinner. Both Thai Coffee and Thai Tea are not great. I think my coffee was old. Service is absolutely outstanding. The owner has hired a crew of saints to work the restaurant and They do a saintly job. **************** One of the most interesting Thai restaurants in the Austin area Worthy of repeat visits. read more

I ordered an iced coffee & it was truly, genuinely, without hyperbole, the worst iced coffee that I've had in my entire life. It was inedible. It was so sweet that I felt like Hansel & Gretel being lured in by the witch. I ordered takeout & drowned it with unsweetened milk at home to no avail: It was still repulsively sweet. I didn't enjoy the Pad Thai, but I don't have any previous Pad Thai experiences to compare it to, so I'm not knocking it. Maybe I just don't like Pad Thai. I'm only mentioning it because it made me sick to my stomach after eating a bit of it. read more

Food was decent to satisfy Thai craving. But the pad Thai left much to be desired. It seemed to be lacking of tamarind and the overall flavor. The larb also was not as rich in flavor as I am used to. I will say the workers were very friendly and the food was ready fast so that was great! I look forward to trying again, maybe a more robust dish such as Penang or pad prik king. read more

We've been coming here for years, but this is our first visit since Covid. Atmosphere is basic, but I really enjoy the food and service. Sometimes I just need to eat something different. And this place fit the bill perfectly. We shared the Thai combination Pineapple Fried Rice. It is quite different from Chinese or Japanese Fried Rice. It includes Shrimp, Chicken, Ham, Pineapple, Raisins, thinly sliced peppers and more. We had the server bring a chili sauce assortment to the table. Unless you like a LOT of spicy heat on your food, beware. I tried each of the 3 kinds of chili sauces (the only one I know about is Sriracha). And I was very cautious about just applying 2 or 3 small drops and mixing it in. Doing it that way, I loved the flavor. Carefully experiment to find an amount of heat you like. But they all really complete the flavor. We love coming here. Simple atmosphere, good service and good food. read more

Got takeout here for the first time today and all in all - it was pretty good and we will definitely try out some more. Fried spring rolls - good but greasy. $5 something for 2 of them though is pretty steep. Tom Kha - Pretty good. Spice level was nice; a little tangier than some other places, but good taste. Not a ton of chicken & mushrooms for the amount of broth Fried Rice - got this for my son so no spice. It was tasty, nothing to write home about Pad See Ew - very good. Got a spice level 2 and it was very good. Definitely the best dish we got. Drunken noodles - I don't know what happened here, but something was missing for sure. The noodles weren't even the right color compared to other drunken noodles (and I basically get drunken noodles anytime I get thai). The spice was good, but the dish itself was so bland which is why I think somehow something was forgotten while making the dish. Like I said, this place was pretty good. The price point was ok -- everything was around $11/each for chicken so we got chicken everything. read more

This is my wife's favourite restaurant. One of the best Thai places around. They will custom make dishes which is nice and they are good at telling you what's in the food. We have gone dozens of times and they have somehow given us quick service every time even though they are usually busy. Small but quaint place. read more

Decided to update my original review as it's been quite a while since I did it. Chada Thai Continues to produce high-quality delicious Thai food! I don't come here as often as I would like to. I am particularly fond of their lunch special for which they charge $7.95 . The only exception to that is it's a dollar more if you want shrimp as your protein. This buys you an Entree, and Egg Roll with either a small soup of the day or salad with peanut dressing. This does not include your beverage. They offer sodas, tea, chai tea hot or cold and beer and wine. There are a number of Entrees you can choose from ranging from a lot of traditional noodle dishes to Thai rice dishes to Curries. They will make it as spicy or mild and you prefer. I have worked my way through quite a bit of the menu here. I got the Pad Thai the very first time here. I decided I'd try it again. Delicious-I asked for an added degree of heat since Pad Thai doesn't have a lot of space in it but would just that little bit of spice I requested it really increase and I enjoyed it all the more. read more
