We discovered Sip Saam Thai while scrolling through Yelp and decided to make the trek since quality…read moreThai options are rare in our immediate area. It was well worth the drive! Parking & Service: Arrival was stress-free thanks to the massive parking lot in the strip mall. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave us great recommendations. The Spice Factor: Interestingly, they offer two spice tiers: 1-10 and 10-15. We usually prefer a heavy heat, but found that levels 8 and 9 were still relatively mild. If you're a true spice lover, you might want to venture into the double digits! The Food: Portions are very generous and perfect for family-style dining. Everything was flavorful, though my one small note for the kitchen is that some dishes leaned a bit heavy on the salt. Overall, a great spot with big flavors.

This has always been our go-to Thai spot, so it's honestly really disappointing to say this was…read moreprobably our last visit. The service has always been great--servers are attentive, friendly, and quick to clear plates, which we've always appreciated. It's part of why we kept coming back. We usually order the fried pompano, and it's always been a favorite. But the last couple of times, the fish has been noticeably smaller--like almost half the size it used to be. 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.

First things first: 1618 Asian Fusion is located in a busy and popular area of South Austin, but…read morethere is a free parking garage right across the street, which makes visiting much easier. The dining environment is comfortable, clean, and fun. It has a lively atmosphere that works well for hanging out with friends, date nights, or even a casual dinner when you want something a little nicer. Their menu has a great variety of food and drinks to choose from, which makes it a good spot for groups. I tried the dim sum and pho, and both were fresh and delicious. What surprised me the most was that the prices were actually very reasonable, especially considering the location, atmosphere, and quality of the food. No wonder every time I come here, it's always packed. It's rare to find an Asian fusion restaurant that does this concept right, but 1618 really pulls it off.

Absolutely impressed with this place. Everything we ordered was really good, and it's the kind of…read morespot where every dish at the table hits. The Thai tea was a standout--sweet, creamy, and the perfect pairing with the meal. The curries were rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The khao soi was especially delicious with bold, comforting flavors and a depth that kept me going back for more. The drunken noodles were also very tasty--great texture, well-seasoned, and satisfying without being overly heavy. Service was great, food came out fresh, and the overall experience made this an easy recommendation. Definitely worth a visit if you're craving flavorful Thai food.

They…read morehandled our table really well, and everything came out smoothly, which is always a win when you've got a lot of people ordering different things. The menu is pretty extensive too, so it was easy for everyone to find something they were excited about. I had the Tum Tad salad, which was super fresh and flavorful with a nice balance of tangy and savory. For dessert, the mango sticky rice was a standout. It was made with a black rice that actually looked kind of blue, which made it really visually fun. Not totally sure if there was some ube mixed in or just the natural color, but either way it was delicious and a little different from the usual version.

If you're in a rush or on lunch break, choose somewhere else. You will be seated very quickly but…read moreno one will come to help or take order at all for very long time. If it wasn't for the fantastic gentlemen at the front door i would have left. He kept on the waitresses to take my order. But then after order i did not receive my food for long time. I watched others walk in behind me and get food before me. Should never happen. The garden roll and sauces were great. Fresh. The pad see ewe was flavorless. 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.

If you're a fan of Thai comfort food done right, P Thai's Khao Man Gai is an absolute must. The…read morestar of the show is, of course, the chicken. It's perfectly poached, incredibly tender, and paired with fragrant rice that's rich without being greasy. It also comes with a decadent bowl of soup. I usually start with the chicken skin appetizer, which iss dangerously addictive. It's crispy, light, and comes with dipping sauce. The combo plate is the way to go if you want to try the poached and fried chicken. You get a variety of textures and flavors, both juicy and crunchy. Both sauces are great to dip in and the chicken goes great with the rice. If you can handle spice, the boat noodles are a great option too. The broth is complex and spicy, with tender noodles and well-seasoned meat. The spiciness is definitely a build up, but the broth is so good you can't stop drinking it. Overall, P Thai's is a great spot for lunch or dinner. Plenty of seating inside with some outside, nice staff that explain everything, and a great spot to share food. Their thai tea is great too so don't skip out on that. Definitely have been here multiple times and will keep coming back.

If you're looking for real spicy, big, bold flavors, this is the spot…read more We ordered the cry cry chicken salad (added rice + soup on the side) and the boat noodles. The chicken salad is zingy and really good, but you definitely need to add the rice to balance the flavors. I had actually never had boat noodles this sour and spicy before, and while they did warn me ahead of time, it still caught me off guard. That said, it was honestly delicious, just not what I expected. One thing to note: they don't really do modifications, so just be prepared to order things as-is. I also have to give them credit for the outdoor seating area because it's such a nice setup. It's dog-friendly, shaded, spacious, and they even have a self-serve water station. My only critique is that I think the portions are a bit small for the price point. Still, I'd recommend checking it out.

Not my favorite Thai place in Austin and honestly not even my favorite Thai place on South Lamar…read morebut still a very solid spot. The staff are all friendly and very attentive and the interior design is very cute and cozy. I usually get their green or panang curry which both are very classic and hits the spot when you're craving it. This particular visit I got their chilean bass which was really nice. The sauce was very light with a nice sweetness to it and I'm a huge fan of kabocha so that was a nice surprise. Overall not a bad place but I definitley can't say it's in the top 3 thai places in Austin.

I got level 3 spice which definitely had a kick, and it also came with a platter of pickled greens, fresh red onions, a slice of lime, and chili oil. The soup itself was really creamy and good, with a slight Malaysian curry flavor. The noodles themselves were thin egg noodles that were slightly soggy but it also came topped with fried crunchy noodles, which provided the crisp. The spice paired well with a creamy Thai iced tea! The service was super quick and everyone was so friendly. Definitely recommend it if you're in downtown Austin!

You can tell there's a lot of care put into the cooking. One thing that stood out was how extensive the menu was.

Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're craving authentic Thai food.

THE BIG: Food truck turned brick and mortar. Love the evolution of graet Austin restaurants…read more Located right off of South Lamar and Bluebonnet Ln. Parking available either in the small lot or street parking. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I came here with a buddy to try out new restaurants and Kiin Di was high on that list. Fortunately, we came at opening and was able to snag a seat quickly For food, we got the rip & dip Roti, khao soi, lost recipe, creamy curry crab, Thai me down, dang curry, and pad see ew. The khao soi was pretty mid and it didn't have the nice fried crunch i was expecting out of a chiang mai khao soi. The rip and dip roti was amazing and it went so well with its own sauce as wella s the dang curry. When we were leaving, there was already a line outside, so i recommend either coming early or during non-peak times. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall damage done was around $140 for everything. Very flavorful meal and very salty however I'd come back and try some more items.

We will usually order a dish with a specific spice level and this time we did not. I am so glad because I would say it already came at a level 5. It had just the right kick. The noodles and veg were perfectly cooked as was the beef. We also got an order of tiny dumplings with seasoned chicken filling. They were so cute and yummy we ate the entire thing and got an order to go. The restaurant itself has nice decor and it's super clean. Next time we're in the area, we will be back to go at it again with another MANGO TANGO!
