    Austin has so many places that you have to pay for parking before eating but this place doesn't! Free parking. We ordered the gyozas, chicken pad thai and mango sticky rice. The pad thai was a good serving for two. They have daily happy hour with $5 selective appetizers and alcohol beverages. Support this family owned for many years! The owner is very nice and loves her business. The restaurant it self has seat out side and inside.

    Had to bring these girls to their favorite place in Austin-Thai Kitchen! They practically grew up eating here, and their order never changes: pork dumplings, Tom Kha soup, and coconut ice cream. Some traditions are just too good to outgrow. Every visit brings back sweet memories, and it's always fun watching them enjoy the same favorites they've loved since they were little.

    I've been coming to Thai Kitchen for over 30 years -- yes, three decades! From their very first location to now only having the Guadalupe spot left, this place has been a staple in my life. And let me tell you, no one -- and I mean no one -- makes Phad Thai like they do. It's hands-down the BEST in Austin. Period. The food? Always fire. The service? Fast, friendly, and beyond helpful. The vibe? Clean, welcoming, and full of good energy. Today I brought my whole family in -- we had the beef salad, some desserts, and every bite was a 10/10. Thai Kitchen never misses. If you haven't eaten here, you're seriously missing out on one of Austin's true gems.

    This is my second time coming here, and this time I brought my friend! We had the green Thai tea and the regular Thai tea. They were both delicious and the green one was more floral. I got the shrimp fried rice again with SPICY yomwunsen this time. It was really spicy for me but it was still good. Service was outstanding as usual! And like I said before, it's a great place for a cute night out with your friends! It's very chill.

    We came on a Saturday and there were a lot of seats. Got a nice sized parking lot we ordered the crispy pork belly, dynamite squid, tom kha, and fried rice. Funny enough, the dynamite squid (we got it mild bc apparently it's really spicy as is) and fried rice tastes like the stir fries in Taiwan in the best way possible. Loved it. We also liked the pad thai too. The tom kha is on the sour side and it tasted more flavorful when you add some chili fish sauce into it. Service was fast and friendly as well :)

    I loved the service, but the pad se ew was okay I've had pad se ew in so many restaurants and this one tasted a bit too tangy and thick the sauce.

    I've been hearing about this Austin staple of a Thai place for years. I'm so glad I came in! It's a little spot that feels so cozy and the service is spot on. Our server was present, helpful, and gave us great recommendations on food. We had the Khai Look Kory (Son in Law), Yen Toe-Fo (Pink Soup), and Tears but Joy (with fish). The Son in Law was a real surprise that had such great flavor with good textures as well. The Pink Soup was so delicious with the fat noodles, chicken, and seafood. I think the broth was really on point and tasted like a homey dish. The Tears but Joy is just that; spicy but amazingly delicious. The flavor of the sauce was really something special. Make sure to get some extra water because it's hot! I can't wait to come back and try many more of their dishes.

    I finish the plate in 10 minutes. So good

    I've been coming here for years, and it's always been great! It's authentic and they're able to accommodate my vegetarian restrictions. I love the tom ka soup, pad thai and ginger tofu.

    Thai Kitchen has easily become one of my favorite places to get food weather it is in store or take out. The service is amazing and is always consistently great, and the overall vibe and ambiance in the restaurant is just as good :) I will definitely keep coming back and recommend everyone try food here too!

    Why don't you offer Pad Thai on your delivery menu? It is only offered in a vegetarian dish.

I came back and waited about a minutes before I was acknowledged, I was sat and the waitress was attentive. I wanted to try the arepita appetizer which is normally served with shredded beef/pork or chicken on the side- to get a side of plantains instead of meat, it was going to add 3$ to the 14$ appetizer so I just opted to omit the meat all together and still had to pay the $14 ...which I don't feel is appropriate- people always wanna add money to sub a veggie for meat but never reduce the price when just removing the meat all together. Anyways, Ordered my food which was out promptly, the veggie bowl was delicious as always and the arepita appetizer (no meat) was good- reminded me of a fried potatoe cake, I used the arepitas as a vessel for my veggie bowl ! I brought the remainder of my bowl home where I bit into something very hard , once pulling it out of my mouth I discovered some beef snuck it's way into my dish- disappointing forsure but it is the first time out of about 10 times this has happened here. Prices have gone up over the last few years my veggie bowl was 18$.

    June 7, 2025 review ---…read moreWe visited this place with our friends and got paneer Pulav, rava dosa, poori aloo. We never had Pulav here before but thought of trying because it was listed as new item. My husband was craving for poori so we got the poori aloo and ofcourse, rava dosa is one of the best here so we didn't want to miss that. We got poori pretty quick and were told that other items were coming pretty soon. Rava dosa came after in few mins but it was soggy and cold. You can tell that it's not just came out of tawa. It looked like an old order to me. I asked to call the manager and told about dissatisfaction with rava dosa. He first tried to defend, then I asked him to touch and tell and if it's fresh. He said he will get it replaced and get a fresh one coming. Ofcourse that took 15-20 mins to come. Paneer Pulav was good. Not too spicy and it came with yogurt to balance. Rice was also sticking to each other so it looked like paneer biryani to me but ofcourse very balanced spices version. My friend also ordered the veg keema Pulav but I like the paneer one more. Service can be hit or miss so I'm reducing one star but overall good quality is good. Also when I visited this back in June, they had the buy 2 Pulav at a certain price offer going on. We looked at it later and checked that out cheque had individual priced for each Pulav. Manage gave the reason as we ordered two in 15 mins gap. He later offered us the balance as courtesy but we didn't take it. I think this should have been accounted while creating the cheque in first place. Overall good place for vegetarian south Indian food.

    The food is great. It's a real shame I never want to go back…read more Saturday night, prime dinner time, the place is all but abandoned. Despite that, service is plodding, slow and inattentive. The appetizer was served last, and it wasn't even piping hot, as if they had just made it. You only get one tiny 8-ounce plastic bottle of warm water to drink, unless you go out and grab another one out of the pack in the other room. That said, the dosa is excellent, textures and flavors on point. Onion pakoda are crave-worthy, crispy and well seasoned. The spices are bright and bold, unrestrained, and deeply satisfying. It's fantastic that so many options are vegan as is. Unfortunately, the issues with payment was the final straw. I had a coupon that seemed to completely flummox the poor guy, and while fumbling with my phone, executed the transaction with Google pay, which is not at all how I wanted to pay. He "couldn't" refund it, for some reason. It makes me so sad. Seems like a great, family-run place with excellent food. I won't be revisiting.
