    Chicken basil fried rice
    SeaKyle C.

    The food I had from Kan Thai Express was fresh and tasty, and service was smooth with easy online ordering and quick pickup. Chicken dishes start around $13.95, with beef and shrimp a few dollars more. I'd love to see pork offered at the same price as chicken, since $16.95 for other proteins feels a bit steep compared to other Asian options in the area. The setup has a few food trucks and tables, though it could feel more inviting with some added touches. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and think a couple of small adjustments could make this spot even better.

    Their Pad Thai and Tom Yum soup are really good. If you can't handle spice make sure to ask for mild.

    I ordered over the phone, which was an easy and quick process. They said it would be ready in 20…read moremin and it was. The restaurant itself has a lot of indoor and outdoor seating, as well as a bar. It seems like a nice place to have a meal. As for the food, we ordered: Pad thai with chicken, mild spice - unfortunately this was a bit dry for me, though the taste was good. Pad see ew with chicken - I liked their version and would probably get it again. Pad woon sen with pork - typically my favorite noodle dish and I think they did a good job. Garden roll - good but not as packed as others I've had, and at a higher price point. Pineapple fried rice with pork - I liked this but was a bit on the oily side. Tom kha soup - I thought this was very good and had a decent amount of chicken and mushrooms Overall I liked everything but some items I felt I had better versions of elsewhere. It's also on the pricier side. Still, if in central Austin I think it's a solid choice for Thai food.

    8/10 Would come back…read more I stopped in for the Pad Thai and overall it was a solid experience. My first few bites were a little underwhelming because it tasted slightly fishy and the flavors didn't seem to come together. After giving the box a really good shake, though, everything mixed properly and it tasted much better. I ordered a spice level 2, and wow, it was actually pretty spicy. I usually add extra chili sauce to my Pad Thai, but this time I didn't need to. If you're sensitive to heat, I probably wouldn't go any higher than a level 2. The peanuts added a nice crunch, and I highly recommend asking for extra lime. I felt like the dish could have used a little more acidity to balance everything out. While the slight fishiness wasn't my favorite, the overall flavor was good, and it's definitely one of the better Pad Thai options I've found in Austin so far. Not the best Pad Thai I've ever had, but one I'd happily order again when the craving hits.

    (Note: I write Facebook reviews for residents of Turner's Crossing, a new development in Buda, as…read morewe all learn about good places to dine in Austin.) ------------- it took us two years to return to one of the eateries most convenient to Turner's Crossing, but we finally made it today. I bet you have all passed this place numerous times. Looking at the notes I took back in 2023, I'm wondering why on earth wife Karen and I waited this long to pay a second visit. It might be the ambience, or rather the lack of usual restaurant atmosphere, that we found offputting. But our second visit today reaffirmed our belief that the food is worth stopping for. Or at least remembering this place when you want carry-out Im Thai is a nondescript little place, primarily a carry-out, with a couple dozen seats at tables and a counter, at Main Street and Old San Antonio Trail in Buda. It's clean and the padded seats are comfortable, but the view is mostly a picture window onto the parking lot of the small strip mall. Not exactly elegant dining, but who gives a flying fig when the food is really good. The place is run by a delightful, chatty woman at the counter in the middle of the big room. She also functions as waitress. In a curtained area behind her works a cook with everything needed to crank out some mighty tasty food. The menu has a huge assortment of dishes, from appetizers to soups to salads to curries to specialties to stir-fried items. There are noodle creations and fried rice concoctions. Many have photographs with the listings, plus plenty of explanation about what's going into each dish. On some of the items you can pick the protein, such as chicken, shrimp, pork or beef, and even super-size that ingredient for a bit extra. Karen and I are not knowledgeable about Thai cuisine so we depended on the descriptions in the menu and the suggestions by our waitress. I also wouldn't know the difference between authentic Thai food and imitation Thai food, whatever in blazes that might be. We were certainly happy with the Pad Thai we had for dinner. Neither of us had ever tried this iconic Thai dish, but figured it was time we give it a shot. After an appetizer of two crab Rangoon rolls ($7.49), filled with a creamy crab and cream cheese mixture, we split an order of Pad Thai ($15.95) with pork. The plate of stir-fred rice noodles, pork, onions, and crushed peanuts on the side was delicious. It was plenty filling for both of us. The only other time Karen and I were there was in October, 2023, when we stopped after passing it several dozen times. That time we asked the waitress to make recommendations and we were not disappointed. We had a vermicelli noodle dish with pork for me and a fried rice dish with pineapple, cashews and pork for Karen. Both were truly good, but we had no clue that the portions would be so large. Hers was easily enough for three big meals, so a large carryout box full came home with us. We spent a little more time poring over the menu today and noted a number of dishes that piqued our interest, so there will be other visits in the future for us. We both like to try something new occasionally, and there's enough on that menu to keep us experimenting for a while. If we have doubts about anything, the friendly staff can always steer us in the right direction. Note: Im Thai is out of servce daily from 3 to 4 p.m, when it reopens. It closes most days at 9.p.m., but 9:30 Fridays and Saturdays.

    We are locals to Buda and this place is decent for a quick thai craving. We usually order the pad…read morethai and panang curry which are always great however, not the best we have had. Service is always great as it is a small place with down to earth small business. The dining area is every small though so it is usually better to do take out and it's not as clean.
