    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.

    Green Thai Tea, Thai Tea

    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.

    Crispy Pork Belly
    Joy J.

    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'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.

    #3 Pad Zee Eew

    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!

    Tom Ka Soup

    We've been here before and it is always good. Food was delicious, and the staff was friendly and attentive. We had a couple appetizers, soup, and a green curry dish.

    Friendly staff. The pad zee eew was pleasantly delicious and paired it with the tom kha. If you're in town and looking for a spot for Asian food would recommend. I'll look forward to doing a 10 lbs pad Thai challenge soon

    Besides the food being absolutely delicious, the staff was excellent. They catered to us as if we were the only people there. I ordered the pineapple fried rice and was not disappointed one bit. The atmosphere was quiet and peaceful. This was an excellent experience! Can't wait to come back.

    Pad Thai with chicken

    Best Thai food in Austin! Tom Kha Gai (coconut chicken soup) is wonderful and made with fresh, authentic ingredients..... I know because I make it at home. Pad Thai is excellent without the sweet red sauce or ketchup most local places use and it's not soupy. Drunken noodles with shrimp, great; curries etc, great. Best soft spring rolls with shrimp in town, made fresh to order... thus not chewy.

    The food is amazing! Today I tried the pepper pork and it wasn't what I thought but still even better then expected. I haven't been to a place better then here in all of austin. Come now and give yourself a unforgettable experience.

    Fried rice with shrimp and thai noodle soup with pork. But you can exchange the protein:shrimp, chicken, pork, or beef

    The food and service is great! Food comes out super fast! I asked one dish to be spicy and it was so good. The place is clean. Will definately come back!

    Disappointed! The green curry is ONLY chicken with curry. No vegetables. It's very hot so take heed when ordering.

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

While the Mother Earth bowl was delicious with a variety of vegetables nicely arranged the steak meat was a bit over done and the pieces were a bit too fatty and tough for me liking. We choose from the diverse ice teas. The mango sencha green tea was great and also the rose lemonade. The drinks are unsweetened and can be sweetened as you like perfect for people who have to watch their sugar intake. The restaurant is spacious and open with a modern down to earth flare. Even if the restaurant would be full because of the high ceilings the place doesn't feel crowded. It's in the center of the Domain with walking distance to many shops and other places.

The wrap was well made, served with a side salad. The Thai curry was good too but had a lot more veggies (and pineapple!) than usually expected. It was also a little spicy for my taste.

    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.
