    Shrimp fried rice
    Brandy C.

    I first discover Sip Saam Thai via Uber Eats, but decided to dine in a few weeks later. The portion sizes are great and each dish can be adjusted to any spicy level. The staff was friendly and checked in on us a few times during my visit. I found the Tom Kha to be a bit too tangy for my taste; however, the shrimp fried rice was great! They'll definitely be on my list of places when I'm in the mood for Thai food!

    Tom Yum with Chicken
    Jonathan S.

    Came here for a late dinner specifically for the papaya salad. My son said he judges all Thai places on if the papaya salad is good. If they offer it they are legit, if not then look for a different place. This place had it and it delivered on taste, ambiance, and service. We split the papaya salad and Tom Yum with chicken. Both items came out quickly and were presented nicely. The Thai Tea was crisp and refreshing. Would highly recommend Sip Saam Thai to anyone looking for a quality meal in a quaint restaurant.

    Boat noodle

    Come all the way from San Antonio for the boat noodle! It tastes very good, it comes with big portion which I'm very happy with. The servers are so friendly and nice. I'm very satisfied.

    Order to go food via Uber Eats for dinner one night Absolutely delicious - loved everything! We tried the pad Thai with tofu - fried rice with chicken - moo ping - mango sticky rice! All were amazing! Moo ping skewers were great starters - comes with 6/7! Every pad Thai is different and I am very picky but this one was great! Thai fried rice was free with order and comes with tomato and Chinese broccoli - great fried rice. The mango sticky rice is a large portion and a classic! Everything was packed very well and great portion sizes

    Papaya salad Som Tum

    Inside is nice, seating for small groups or large groups. Full bar. The service is excellent. My only complaint is they don't have mixed drinks. They had shots, draft, bottles, and margaritas. I wanted an old fashioned. They don't do that. The food is phenomenal. I enjoyed it enough to come back a half a dozen times while staying in the area for work. We went with a group of friends once and they all got something different. They all enjoyed their meals. I tend to lean towards the pineapple curry, papaya salad and eggrolls. Everything tasted authentic. Do be careful when ordering spicy this location does not hold back. Their Thai spicy is no joke. I enjoyed spicy Thai food but not like this. Order medium your first time, and then see what your tolerance is.

    Vegetable Red curry
    Soseh P.

    We absolutely love this place hands down one of the best Thai food places in Austin. We went with our friends and ordered few different meals to be able to review properly, Appetizers: Fried calamari - the aioli that comes with it is amazing. The calamari was a bit on the chewer side. Shrimp Spring Rolls - this was fresh and flavorful Garlic edamame - just the right amount of garlic in the right amount of seasoning. Truly the best. Main dishes: Yellow seafood curry- it was creamy, flavorful and just the right amount of mix of seafoods. Red vegetable curry - this was on the spiced side maybe i should have mentioned to have low spicy one but still really creamy and flavorful and loaded with veggies, Lamb curry - this was the star of the show, creamy, coconut flavor the only thing that i would say is the lamb was a tinny bit on the chewer side but other than that AMAZING. Pad Thai with chicken and shrimp. Cooked to perfection noodles, it did lack a bit on the protein that was in there but other than that flavor was on point. Dessert: Coconut ice cream - oh my god i want a whole pint of this. It was sooo good, the flavor, the crushed peanut on top. Sticky sweet rice with Mango - I'm not fan of sticky rice but it was not bad. The mangos were amazing on the side though. We love the service, they are always very attentive and has a very chill and relax vibe. Overall from all their 3 locations this is by far my favorite and one i love visiting.

    The pineapple red curry was delicious. Chicken satay was served slightly undercooked though :/ The portions are decent sized but the restaurant seems overpriced for the quality and vibe.

    Brian C.

    Very consistent and has become a staple in my rotation. The food is full of complex flavors and goes well with rice. Be sure to ask for the fish sauce with cut chili. Their Thai tea is one of the better that I've had in Austin as well. Service is friendly, and the place feels clean. Definitely come check this place out.

    I tried Sip Saam Thai for the first time and got some panang curry to go. It was very good! Lots of flavor in the curry and the chicken was cooked very w I think I asked for a level 5 or 6 spice and it was not super spicy at all! Service was great as far as ordering online and how fast they were. They also wrapped up the curry in an extra bag to avoid any messes with spilling which I really appreciate. Overall, definitely recommend!

    Vegan menu
    Hannah K.

    Your spice tolerance may vary. When asked if the scale of 1 - 10 was "Thai spicy" or "white person spicy," I was told it was Thai spicy and tempered my request accordingly and went with a mere 2. Next time, I would easily ramp that up to 5 or 6, but fortunately, the food is flavorful, fresh, and well-seasoned all the same. Best of all, they don't just understand requests for vegan dishes; they have a whole separate vegan menu! You've gotta ask for it is all. There, you'll find the predictable tofu and veggie options as well as more exciting mock duck and chicken (seitan/wheat-based.) My favorite was the meatless duck, which is super tender and savory. I don't usually go for pad Thai, but theirs is not bad! Chewy noodles, moderately sweet sauce, and your protein of choice. I adored the eggplant tofu, which has meltingly tender vegetables in a garlicky basil-flecked brown sauce. There's so much to try- I'll definitely be back!

    coconut shrimp soup
    Aruni G.

    Met some longtime friends here when one was in town visiting a couple weeks ago. The food was yummy, but it wasn't as spicy (chili hot) as we thought. I try to be careful when ordering spicy food at Thai restaurants but I and my daughter can handle and like a lot of heat, so both of us were expecting the food to be spicier for the levels we picked. Other than that, the service was great. We were seated in a back booth/table area and despite there not being that many people there it was not easy to hear each other and I'm not sure why. I can't recall if maybe they were playing music or there was something else going on. The portions were generous so we were able to take some home, which I always like!

    We ordered takeout from Sip Saam Thai in Austin, and the food completely exceeded our expectations. It's not always easy to find Thai dishes that travel well, but everything we picked up held its flavor, texture, and freshness beautifully. We tried the eggplant, pad see ew, drunken noodles, and crab fried rice, and each dish had its own charm. Even as a takeout experience, everything felt restaurant-quality. The packaging kept the dishes warm without getting soggy, and the portion sizes were filling without being overly heavy. Pickup was quick, organized, and the staff seemed genuinely friendly.

    Egg rolls
    Lauren D.

    This place was a lovely little gem that we stumbled upon. We ordered the lemonade to start and my friend loved it. Then we got egg rolls that came out piping hot! After the appetizer we moved on to dinner. My friend and I both got chicken pad Thai and it was incredible! When the Check came, I paid and looked at her and said "happy birthday!" The server told us not to leave and she brought out a birthday ice cream for her. She split it with me, I felt the coconut ice cream with peanuts was not the greatest combination. It was greatly appreciated though. I would absolutely return again and get other items! I am curious about the crab rangoon's and the sticky rice dessert.

    Is this place pet friendly?

    No.

    Does anyone happen to know if the curries are made with coconut milk/okay for a vegan?

    They are made with coconut milk but might have fish sauce so just ask and they might be able to do it without.

    Are they closed for renovations as of 10/25 as someone posted? But I see current reviews?

    Hi! We closed on 10/25 but have re-opened for our regular hours. Hope to see you!

I came here on a word-of-mouth recommendation, and I was intrigued before I even sat down. The restaurant itself is gorgeous. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by a beautifully designed waiting area showcasing the restaurant's many awards and accolades. It immediately sets the tone that you're in for something special. We came with one goal: try as many things as possible. Saturdays are perfect for that because they offer dim sum. We started with the Pho Xiao Long Bao (Wagyu beef soup dumplings) and the Korean pancakes. The soup dumplings completely stole the show. Perfectly cooked, delicate wrappers, rich and flavorful broth, and with just a touch of chili oil...absolute perfection. I've had soup dumplings in many places, and these are hands down the best I've ever had. I say that with my whole chest. The Korean pancakes were also outstanding. Crispy on the outside, tender inside, with that perfect balance of savory and just a hint of sweetness. Every bite had great texture and flavor. For our entrées, my husband ordered the Banana Salmon. It was spectacular. It's one of those dishes that makes you question whether you've ever really had good curry before. The spice wasn't about heat, it was about depth, warmth, and layers of beautifully balanced flavor. I ordered the Crab&Shrimp Tom Yum Coconut Fried Rice, and this dish deserves its own paragraph. The presentation alone is stunning. The fried rice is served inside a fresh coconut, surrounded by banana leaves and topped with a beautiful orchid. But thankfully, it tastes every bit as incredible as it looks. The coconut adds a delicate sweetness without overpowering the dish. The crab was plentiful, sweet, and incredibly fresh, while the shrimp were perfectly cooked, not a second overdone. Dishes like this require impeccable timing because every ingredient cooks differently, and somehow every single component was flawless. It was one of the best fried rice dishes I've ever eaten. The service was equally impressive. Everyone was warm, attentive, and happy to offer recommendations based on their most popular dishes. They even told us about their live music nights, which immediately gave us another reason to come back. The table next to us was having Pho and needed with the mango sticky rice and I am coming back for that. Overall, 1618 Asian Fusion delivered on every level, beautiful atmosphere, exceptional food, and genuinely welcoming service. It's one of those restaurants that leaves you planning your next visit before you've even paid the bill. Highly recommend!

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.

The crispy pork is crispy, but also soft once you hit the meat. It is a good choice for those who don't like only crispy skin, or only meat. It's the best of both worlds. The pad Thai is nicely moist without being too soggy. It's sticky at most. Once you mix it with the bean sprouts, it comes out perfect. I also recommend their Thai tea!
