This place was empty when I arrived for lunch on a Sunday. The service was quick and friendly however, the food was nothing to write home about. I ordered Pad Thai with tofu and it was a little on the bland side. The chicken satay was mediocre and the best part was probably the peanut sauce lol. The Thai Iced Tea was also a little on the weak side (could be sweeter) and the restaurant remained empty for the entire duration of my time eating there (not a good sign). Everyone from the wait staff to the cooks and what seemed like the owner were all speaking Spanish so take with that what you will, but overall again, this food wasn't great--definitely not something to write home about. There are better places in and around town that would easily be better. I tried Mai Thai a couple of miles away in downtown and that place was better by two miles (literally).

This is my go-to pad see eiw spot near campus! I love the food and the portions are amazing! The lady waitress is amazing and so nice, other guy waiter was weird about a valid coupon we had. Other than that very yummy!

This place is interesting! I believe it's more of a to go place since every time I've been im the only one actually sitting in and eating. One of the few times I've been their WiFi went down and I couldn't pay with card because their reader was down. Mind you I waited nearly an hour for it to be back up and for the first 10min the waitress kept telling me my card was declining and I had to explain to her that the card reader was saying there was no connection. Other than that food has been decent and they open late which is great considering they're closed to campus. The interior seems very outdated but I don't think that's a big problem for me. I will say I think the restaurant has changed its name to Thai Chapin.

when we came the restaurant was pretty empty. inside was clean, a little hot but it was fine. service was great no complaints and the food was pretty good too, my favorite was the chilean sea bass

Visiting from California to Austin and found this GEM of Thai food in the Area of Guadalupe. Food is amazing! Portions are generous and the place is extremely clean. Staff is very attentive and their prices are very affordable. I want to give this place a 5 stars! Definitely will recommend that you try this place!

Shrimp Spring Rolls (comes with 2)

I ordered Uber Eats delivery from PD Thai this weekend and was pleasantly surprised! I got the chicken pad Thai and the shrimp spring roles, and my boyfriend ordered the panang. Everything was really tasty, and it arrived quickly! Service was great overall. Lots of options on the menu, so I hope to repeat order soon. I've got my eye on a few more dishes I want to try!

N3. Pad Kee Mao
Mira D.

We got food from here because none of us wanted to cook. My go to dish for Thai food is drunken noodles otherwise known as pad kee mao. I really liked how they had tomatoes and green beans in their dish and I also like that they didn't skimp out on the tofu. I did pay to add both extra tofu and veggies but I was happy with my meal. The veggies were still crispy and had a good crunch! We also got the edamame which honestly was a little overcooked but maybe it was just that day. I would suggest to not get the edamame but instead to stick to their entrees. I would definitely recommend this place to others and will go again to try other dishes! I do want to point out that secretly a tiny part of me believes that the store is actually called 'Pad Thai' and that maybe the 'A' fell off and they changed the name to 'P D Thai' because it's easier than fixing the sign? Idk it's just a theory but it seemed that way when I saw the sign outside!

House Peanut Juice
Andrew L.

Came here for dinner on a Saturday evening, we were seated right away and about half the tables were open throughout our meal. It seems like more of their business is takeout, so I wouldn't worry about getting a table even on weekend evenings. The service was friendly, though a bit on the slower side, understandable given they had a lot of takeout orders going at the same time. I had the pad gra prao for my meal which was solid. Nothing to write home about, but was a good amount of food for the price. The star of my experience was the peanut juice. Weird drinks usually catch my eye on a menu and this was right up my alley. Much more of a peanut milk, it's blended up peanuts (there are some chunks at the bottom) in milk with cane sugar. It didn't taste overly sweet, if you're a peanut person this is a must try. Overall, it's a solid spot and worth trying for the peanut juice alone. There are stronger Thai options in the area, but if you find yourself in a situation like we were in, where Nori had too long a wait time and we didn't want to spend too much effort thinking of an alternative, this is a reasonable option right next door

chicken pad see ew
Ivy T.

not a bad spot! open late and relatively good prices. we got chicken pad see ew and it was enough for two people to share. thai tea was a bit watered down but not too sweet.

Chicken Pad Thai
Christopher C.

Pad Thai is pretty standard. It's what you would expect! There's no oddities, but I would love a bit more chicken and seasoning throughout. The shrimp egg rolls were warm, crispy, and decent as well. As for price, this place will not break the bank. Give it a try! Cheers

Basil Fried Rice with Chicken
Kelly C.

We came here for a late night dinner and had a great time. We were the only ones there, but service was incredible. They checked up on us multiple times to make sure everything was good. The food came really fast, and the prices are very reasonable. Basil Fried Rice with Chicken: We got level 2 spiciness, and it had the perfect amount of kick for me. I really enjoyed this dish. The cucumber on the side was fresh and crunchy. Pad Thai with Beef: The sauce was really flavorful (on the sweet side). We also got level 2 spiciness for this dish. However, the beef was a bit dry, so I would recommend trying a different meat with it.

Ok. Too busy talking and didn't get pictures but trust me the food is good. We were a party of 12…read moreand they were able to accommodate us. We ordered the cheese roll, pork bely, khon wings, brussel sprouts, fried tofu, pad see ew, Massaman curry, roti, pandang beef, moo ping, tum tad, crab fried rice, pineapple fried rice and all of it was amazing. Found this place as it was a recommendation from someone who was in the Thai restaurant business and came highly recommended. I am definitely going back but would love it if the owners would consider opening a place in the Lakeway area.

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.

Loved the food truck so really wanted to check out the Brick and Mortar! Came on a Sunday to try…read moreout some delicious thai food with my thai food bestie! Ambience: Dark and moody with plenty of seating and a partial viewing of the kitchen. Service: the waitress was super prompt and also gave a lot of explanation about items on the menu in case we weren't familiar with the dish. Food: The food is probably some of the best thai food in Austin. We ordered the papaya salad which came out more in like a "thin flat noodle fashion" than what we are normally used to, it's not super spicy like most thai restuarants like to serve it but still has some robust flavors and some spice it also comes with cracklings which are super crunchy. The chinese broccolli is always a favorite of mine for the texture and the Pork Ribs dish was super creamy with a hint of spice that left you craving more. The menu is so large that we will definetly be back, i'd recommend going close to open as it's not as crowded!

My friend and I decided to check this place out since we've heard many good things about Kiin Di…read moreeven from days it was a food truck. We got the: * Roti Dip * Soft shell crab in curry * Papaya salad I loved the roti, it was crispy and the curry was flavorful, a bit salty but they paired well. The biggest miss for me was the soft shell crab in curry, the plate came out room temp which was a bit disappointing since curry is best served warm/hot. The batter on the crab was super thick it felt like we were just eating deep fried crab that got soggy quickly as it's served in the curry. The curry had some separation almost as if the coconut milk in it had been reheated or curdled during the cooking process. I'm not an expert chef but I've worked with coconut milk enough to notice these things. The papaya salad was decent, I loved the tangy and fresh flavors (we opted for 3 spice but definitely could've amped it up). I prefer my papaya salad with more "funk" but understand that's a different style. I am sad I had to give this place only 3 stars because my expectations were high considering this is their brick & mortar. I will have to give it a try again and taste other dishes. Overall the service was friendly, got sat immediately and didn't have to wait too long for the food to come out. More parking in the back of the restaurant, be weary of the signs from other businesses.
