Tom Kha
Sarah C.

First off, as it's not super clear, be aware this is 90% outdoor seating and the kitchen is a food truck. There is a very small building with indoor seating, but it only has a restroom and a handful of small tables. I do want to give the benefit of a doubt as I was part of a fairly large group meet up, so some of the delays in service and getting food was probably due to the large number of people for a very small kitchen. I also 100% have to blame the meet up organizers for not letting us know it was outdoors! The place is BYOB although they do have a selection of bottles nonalcoholic drinks. Even though it was outdoor seating at picnic tables, there was one girl taking orders, and another guy delivering food, we did have to wait a bit for our food, but the point of the meet up was chatting and socializing so it wasn't a huge deal. The food arrived hot and was pretty good. My main complaint is that the portion seemed a little small for the price point, I got the Tom Kha soup and $13 for a pint of soup and a scoop of rice seemed high. The flavor of the broth was good but there were definitely more onions than chicken! That being said I liked that the spice level didn't seem to be lowered- I got a 3/5 and it definitely made my nose run a bit XD All in all I think to really get an accurate read I'd have to try again under more normal circumstances.

3.5/5 stars for me. The papaya salad was way too salty. Drunken noodles weren't flavorful or had the umami flavor. The pork skewers were quite tough and the flavor was also lacking. The one dish that stood out was the pineapple fried rice but still not the best in town. I did like the sweet sausages. Cute vibes, plenty of seating outside. Service was good though. Our waitress was sweet.

Veggie delight (back) & the front one was from special menu (thick noodles with red and yellow curry sauce)
Allison S.

Everything was so good! Speedy service, friendly waiters, and the food was delicious! The veggie delight wasn't spicy at all and it was so fresh! Nice portion sizes. Then we had a dish where you could choose the spice level. We had level 1 (options are 1-5) and thought it was pretty spicy for being the lowest level, so keep that in mind!

Location from parking lot

Our friends wanted to eat here so we joined them for dinner. This was our second time at Rose's Kitchen. It was 90 degrees outside so we opted to sit inside the trailer hoping for AC. It was hot and stuffy in there and sitting outside may have been a better option. We brought our own wine and the waiter provided glasses. He was very attentive as we were the only customers at 4:30. The 3 cheese rolls ($5.99) were small, delicious, stuffed with cream cheese and served with a green sauce. Nice change from a regular egg roll. I had yellow curry with pork ($13.99) served with white rice. Overall, the dish had good flavor but the pork seemed a bit tough. Others had pineapple fried rice ($14.99) and said they enjoyed it. I think this was my last visit to Rose's Kitchen as I felt it wasn't a true restaurant experience but charged restaurant prices.

Green papaya salad
Donnis M.

They've been in this location for 2 years and have recently opened a Thai cuisine restaurant on east slaughter. Definitely recommend. Everything we ordered was freshly prepared and tasted great. The papaya salad has a strong fish taste. As it should, but make sure you like that if you have a normal western palate. It was very good. I ate the entire order by myself. I had the pad see ew at 3 (of 5) spicy. I could have eaten 4 but I wouldn't have enjoyed it. If you're a white American who likes spicy food at a "anything a typical Mexican restaurant throws at you" level i recommend stopping at 3. I would have gotten the sticky mango rice but I was too full. I don't know why I haven't gone before but I'll definitely be back. Also, the owner was very friendly and made us feel very welcome.

Thai food served on disposable plates
Christina H.

Rose's Kitchen shows potential, but ultimately falls short. In true Asian family style, we ordered an assortment of dishes to share. We had the Siamese Cheese Rolls, Papaya Salad, Pad See Ew, Thai Chicken Wings and the Tom Yum Soup. The good: -The standout for us was the Tom Yum soup--it had the perfect balance of kaffir lime and spices, with shrimp that were tender and not overcooked. -The wings were not horrendous, I loved the crispiness of it, but wings served at an Asian restaurant should not be served with ranch... the sauce on the wings should do all the work. The bad: -The Pad See Ew had too little sauce while the beef was overcooked and chewy. Pad See Ew is traditionally served with Chinese Broccoli, but instead regular broccoli was used and put too much crunch/texture on this -The Papaya Salad was drenched in fish sauce and lime instead of delicately being flavored -The Siamese Cheese Rolls should not even be on the menu, as they were essentially just fried egg roll wrappers stuffed with cream cheese. -I didn't like how the food was served on disposable plates-- it didn't make the food any better or worse, but it didn't do the place justice

Yellow curry with chicken
David G.

The food was good. Egg rolls were kinda on the small side. I asked for a side of chili oil. It seemed kinda off. My stomach hurt for the rest of the day. I would go again though, just no chili oil. Don't fault them for the presentation in the picture below. They thought I was getting my food to go, but I was actually eating it there. They brought it out in takeaway packaging, and then when they realized I was staying they brought out a plate for me. I'm the one who put it on the plate. I'm sure if they had plated it themselves it would've looked better.

Thai Green Curry
Karson S.

We love Rose's and are so very excited to see this location transform! The owners are incredible - so friendly and WOW they make excellent food! Been on the forever hunt for good Thai food in Austin (which, is quite the hunt), and this place was such a slam dunk! Some of the other reviews mention it's difficult to find Rose's - not the case! They had a great sign and even string lights to light your way. It's a 1 way in, different dedicated way out for easy traffic flow with parking once you arrive. They are going to be transforming this location, which is so exciting! The patio is very welcoming, and they also have indoor seating. We dined in and were so wonderfully greeted and served. They are still cooking out of the truck until they get their new kitchen setup, but everything still came out fast and delicious and was brought right to us inside. It was a chill Saturday night for dinner, but apparently just the prior night it was packed with folks eating there before heading out for spring break. The food: GREAT! The pad Thai was some of the best you could ask for, and THE FAMILY RECIPE GREEN CURRY was such a great mix of warm curry, fresh ingredients, and flavor without being overly sweet. I asked for a "medium" spice and supposedly got it without any extra added & it was actually the perfect level of spice and flavor for me. Yum! We will be back to try some of the other in house favorites such as the burger (trust these people, they know MANY trades), the thai tea, and the desserts!

Thai Fried rice
Candace B.

I have been eager to try this place for a while as I've seen the great reviews and mouthwatering pictures of their food. I ordered delivery which I received through DoorDash. The food arrived piping hot. The Thai fried rice could have used more flavor, and the Pad Kee Mao dish was flavorful, but the noodles were stuck together, making it hard to reheat. The meat in both dishes was over cooked. The Thai eggs rolls were tasty, and had a nice crunch. I ordered the mango and sticky rice for dessert, which had too much coconut milk and the mango was too tart. Overall solid food. Would love to go and order at the location next time, but I understand that parking there is tricky.

Inside
Ellie N.

It's used to be a food truck, they upgraded it to a restaurant now. It's a family owned business and they just moved in to the building so there's some understandable hiccups along the way. We ordered and it took 40 minutes for the food to come out. I hope the service will improve as they get the restaurant running. Fried rice level 3 spicy: it is spicy but tasty. As soon as the server brought the food in, the fragrance filled up the room. Siamese cheese rolls: crunchy and fresh. It's wrapped in rice paper and deep fried. Mango avocado rolls: it's light and refreshing with tons of veggies wrapped in a rice paper. Pad kee mao level 2 spicy: probably the best dish we ordered.

Cheese Rolls - Rangoon lovers will enjoy this. Crisped to perfection

Gotji's Kitchen - Crab Fried Rice with Ebiko

Gotji's Kitchen

4.7(96 reviews)

Gotji has some creative fusion dishes that sound very intriguing so we definitely need to come back…read moreto explore more of what they have to offer! The Best Pad Thai ($18): Thai-style stir-fried rice noodles with egg, dried sweet radish, chili, garlic, crab meat, bean sprouts, and chives, topped with fried tempura shrimp, crispy shallots, tobiko, peanuts, and lime. I love pad thai, and this version delivered! The flavors were quite concentrated, so I recommend mixing the noodles thoroughly before eating. While the shrimp tempura was crunchy with a nice batter, I personally prefer the traditional proteins -- beef, chicken, pork, or tofu. BBQ Brisket Clay Pot ($19.50): A Thai-Chinese style clay pot featuring garlic, ginger, smoky brisket, onion, mushroom, Thai jasmine rice, green onion, sweet soy sauce, and chili garlic sauce. The combination didn't quite work for me and I wasn't a fan of the flavors, though my husband absolutely loved it. It's not as flavorful as the pad thai so we had to use the sauce they provided.

If you have not tried Gotji's here is your sign. It is Legit Thai Food from a Food Truck in Buda…read morethat runs by a thai chef. In my opinion their crab rice is amazing, and I am fan of green curry. It is fast made to order. They have been super friendly. There are couple tables in front of the truck, so maybe in November you can eat outside :) Support Local Business and get Crab Rice ! They also have sometimes special like brisket etc they try Texas Fusion.
