Crab Fried Rice
Jason L.

Little Thailand is sort of tucked away off a frontage road adjacent to the freeway. It's not huge and lives up to the "little" aspect of its name; dirt lot, unassuming. It's small inside but it has a cozy vibe to it. Oddly low ceilings though but hey, whatevs. Service was super friendly and accommodating and we got sat pretty quickly. I got the vibe that this is more of a takeout place than a dine-in. They had several orders bagged and ready to go and a seemingly endless stream of people coming in to claim their brown bagged bounties of deliciousness. I had the crab fried rice and it was a good decision. TONS of food and could have easily been shared. They really hooked it up with the crab and it was all cooked to perfection and not overly greasy. Good stuff!

When a restaurant serves Boat Noodles, a Thai food lover should take note. Why? There are several reasons. First, making Boat Noodles is a project. Putting it on the menu is a commitment. Second, it's not the kind of dish that has mass appeal in the US. Pork blood is its most important ingredient, FFS! So if it is in constant rotation on the menu, it's a sign that the restaurant isn't into the "dumbing down" thing. And third...if you ask Thai people what's their favorite dish, many will say "Boat Noodles." So this is a dish that you and I should WANT to eat. Little Thailand serves Boat Noodles. 'Nuff said! What are Boat Noodles? Sounds like a nautical dish full of seafood. It's not. Let me quote the description on Little Thailand's menu: "A classic Thai style rice noodle dish packed with sliced beef, meat balls, pork blood and cilantro in a dark soy sauce pork broth served with bean sprouts, basil leaves and crispy pork rinds on the side." In short, it's noodles...served in an intensely flavorful broth...enriched with pork blood. But don't let pork blood scare you. You'd never know that it's in there, but you would know if it wasn't--if you catch my drift. Pork blood is the X-factor that elevates the dish to next level. Little Thailand's Boat Noodles are fabulous. The broth is an explosion of tart, spicy, rich (hello pork blood!), umami flavors firing at your tongue from every conceivable direction. They give you a choice of proteins. I chose pork, and the quantity was quite generous. They give you a choice of spiciness. There are four level of spiciness, ranging from mild to "Thai Spicy." I opted for level 3 (aka, "Spicy"), and it had enough kick to make my nose run...but not so much that I was convulsing with flop sweats. "Spicy" was nicey. And I ate every single noodle, every slice of pork, every bean sprout, every leaf of basil, and drank every drop of that glorious broth. It took all the discipline I could muster not to tongue-bathe the interior of the bowl. Suffice it to say, I loved Loved LOVED it. The building itself is clean, intimate, and spare. It's a small, simple dining room that (to me, at least) felt rustic in a Wisconsin supper club kind of way. The facade is hard to miss, with its red and gold pagoda motif. Little Thailand is located south of Austin. It's a bit out in the boonies, yet is a quick, easy, uncongested 20 minute drive from east Austin. And it has its own parking lot. Yay! I consider its quasi-remote location a plus, because there are few things I dislike more than city congestion and parking. Service was friendly, efficient, and professional. Prices are reasonable. This was my first trip to Little Thailand, and I intend to go back again and again to eat my way through its menu. And, of course, to have more Boat Noodles. A lot more Boat Noodles. Great food, great service, relaxed location. Little Thailand is a jewel and a keeper.

Pork Larb to go. So yum!!

I love this place. It's run by Thai people who take pride in their culture and their food and want to share it with the world. We enjoyed everything we tried so much that we ordered another two dishes to go. I'm a Thai food snob. I've had favorite, go-to Thai restaurants everywhere I've lived (the San Francisco Bay area, Orange County, Houston and Dallas area). And I'm pumped that I've now found all my favorite Thai dishes near our new home in Bastrop County. It's a small and humble place that they've transformed into an authentic Thai experience. And they outdid themselves with the grand entrance to this simple, tin-roof structure. They don't have a license for alcohol but you can bring your own. I never order Pad Thai anywhere. And I didn't order it here. My favorite noodle dish (Thai or otherwise) is Pad Kee Mao (also called drunken noodles). They probably don't sell a lot of it because it was a bit buried on the menu. I enjoyed it, but for my taste, I would remove the green vegetables (snow peas, broccoli, green beans, cabbage) and add a lot more red bell pepper and maybe some baby corn. Aside from the hand-torn noodles, chicken, seasoning and aromatics, it's the red bell pepper & holy basil that make this dish for me. The other vegetables just distract from the final product, in my view. But this was my only improvement suggestion of the meal. I also love Larb (finely diced meat seasoned with mint, basil, Thai chilis and a roasted rice powder). They not only do this great dish justice, they give you a choice of chicken, beef or pork. It's served with sticky rice and a side of raw cabbage. It was one of our to-to dishes and was so good, we had it cold for breakfast the next morning and really enjoyed it! Nua Nam Tuk (spellings vary since they don't use the Greek alphabet, of course), is another favorite Thai dish is mine. It's a thinly sliced beef salad (no lettuce or cabbage) made with Thai herbs and red chilis. Delicious! We'll also order this again. And it's highly recommended for anyone on a keto / low carb diet, too. My wife is into Chicken Satay and fried chicken wings, and she really enjoyed both. But my favorite thing to order in a Thai restaurant is curry. I enjoy Penang, Massaman and red curry, but my favorite is green curry chicken, so I ordered that. It was everything I hoped for... a large, ceramic bowl of goodness with a plate of jasmine rice on the side. I don't pour the curry over the rice. Instead I add spoonfuls of rice into the bowl as I eat. And it is amazing. The chicken is thinly sliced. They add a couple of pieces of fresh jalapeño to the bowl (easy to remove if you don't want it) and they also add eggplant. That is exactly how I like it! The service was great here. They checked on us regularly. They kept our iced tea filled. They were transparent and gracious. When we ordered the wings, they explained that it would take longer for those to come out. The jasmine rice, sticky rice and the complementary cabbage soup were all absolutely top notch, too. Be warned... Thai food is wonderfully spicy. But they will make any dish milder for you if you request it (and even hotter if you ask for "Thai spicy"). Come check this place out, 'y'all! :-)

Moo ping, boat noodles, penang not in photo.

The best boat noodles I've had outside of Thailand! I am Thai, lived in Thailand for a bit, had all the noodle joints in LA. This was hands down the best. Moo ping sauce was on point! Penang sauce was good, but the beef was eh. My own fault, because you're not supposed to get beef in thai dishes.

Ask the Community - Little Thailand

Do they have outdoor seating?

There are a half dozen picnic tables on the side of the restaurant. It's close to the road, but there are lots of plants and outdoor lighting, so it's not a bad space for picnic tables.

Did the bar reopen - and still serving the Thai Bloody Mary?

No,they just open for Thai foods only for now but they said they working on get the bar up and running again.

Maybe least flavored pad see that I've ever had. I had to ask for salt and chili oil to give some flavor but even that didn't work out. I used my leftover peanut sauce from the garden rolls and finally, FLAVOR! Portions are small, I'm leaving still hungry.

The egg roll was yummy but the soup was hardly edible. It was super sour and the bok choy tasted and looked old. The wings were spot on, hot, fresh, and the sauce was amazing! My entree was good, the glass noodles were a bit difficult to chew, not sure why. My husband got the pad Thai and he said it lacked flavor. He ended up taking all the sauce from the wings and pouring it on his food to make it better. Regardless of the issues, all the food came out very hot and fresh.

That was already a letdown. What really did it for us, though, was finding a plastic to-go cup lid inside one of our drink glasses. It was buried in there, and completely threw us off. At that point, we were just done. It's a bummer because we've liked this place for a long time, but between the smaller portions and that experience, we won't be coming back.
