July 10, 2026 review: To-go food order. We tried the pineapple fried rice, level 2 spicy with mixed vegetables, no tofu. Pad kee mao level 2 with tofu. You can list out any allergy or veggies if you want to remove like I asked for no mushroom. Food. We also got green curry with tofu. I really liked the packaging, kept food warm for next 45 min or so. Also the noodles didn't get sticky like it would sometimes from other Thai places. Green curry was little bit on spicy side but not sure of level on that one. We tired this place after a long time and were really happy with quality. read more

Thai Lada - Pad kee mao, pineapple fried rice, green curry - Thai Near Me - Austin, Texas

Best boat noodle soup in town! There aren't a lot of local Thai restaurants who serve this specific dish. Having traveled to Thailand numerous times in the past, boat noodle soup is one of my absolute favorite Thai dishes. This is one spot that I have consistently returned for their boat noodle soup. I will say though, that I have noticed the quantity of their dishes have gone down a little over the years, which I imagine is to be expected given inflation these days. It's a Thai family-owned restaurant, and the dishes are in my opinion, authentic. Well, at least the boat noodle soup is. I have tried the typical fried noodle dishes here as well (think pad thai, pad see ew etc.) and they are all really delicious. It's one legit Thai restaurant I would highly recommend to friends and family to visit. I came here last week for lunch and saw that they have lunch specials during weekdays. Staff is attentive and accommodating. The interior of the restaurant is clean and inviting. They even had fresh roses at every table, which I thought was a really nice touch. They also have an outdoor patio if you would like to sit outside, overlooking the road. I can't imagine sitting outside now during this summer weather we are having but definitely for cooler months. Parking is easy and free. Go hungry. read more

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our recent visit to Thai Lada. We arrived for lunch before opening time (listed as 11:45 am on the door) and were given a choice of seating. By the time we left, every indoor table was taken. While there, we noticed that many orders were takeouts. The restaurant isn't large inside, but there's plenty of outdoor seating. The atmosphere was bright and pleasant. Service was great, but we had at least 3 people who took orders, delivered food, or took care of the check. My biggest problem was that the entrées arrived minutes after the starters... way too soon... and the servers didn't know who got what. My daughter and I both had the lunch special, which is a great deal in my opinion. It cost $15 for a complete meal including a soup and crispy roll to start, then an entrée. The entrées were varied, and included choices of curries, noodles, stir fry dishes, or fried rice, each with a choice of protein (extra charge for seafood) and all with a choice of spice level. The soup was wonderful. It reminded me of when I traveled in Thailand on business years ago. Same for the sauce flavor of the stir fry I ordered. The crispy roll was excellent, and came with a sweet dipping sauce. My daughter ordered the curry with medium spice. She said the spice level was mainly in the sauce, and that hers was a great meal. Beer and wine are reasonably priced. I definitely recommend this restaurant and will return to try other foods. There are plenty of menu choices! read more

I hadn't been in here probably 8 years at least and the pad Thai was as good as I remembered. It has a little spice to it which was what made me enjoy coming back when I worked nearby. So I'm glad I was back in the area. read more

It was our first time trying Thai Lada. I am pleased with the overall results reprieve. The food was pretty good and the server was nice. The reason for 4 stars are: - the soup that was supposed to be the appetizer came at the exact same time as the food so one of them got cold while we ate the other. - the wings were not tasty The curries, fried rice, pad se ew, and khao soi gai were tasty. Please see photos for portion sizes. They were good! We will return! read more

The noodles were absolutely delicious and protein packed. They're def not shy about giving meat and toppings. I mean the crab Rangoon was prolly some of the best I've had in awhile. You can actually taste bits of crab in it (as it should be). read more

Parking is limited and there aren't many seats inside. The tables weren't very clean. We literally ate at their patio baking in the sun cause there was no room inside, so the whole time we got to listen to rush hour traffic. We ordered the steamed dumplings and they came with a strange aïoli sauce on top that I really didn't like, it completely ruined the dish for me. Who wants mayonnaise sauce on their steamed dumplings. I like when people try new things and push the bounds of imagination, but this dish should have never left the kitchen. We also tried some basic spicy beef dishes, which were fine, but overall, it was a a sucky experience and I don't think I'll be coming back. read more

We found this place while exploring Google Maps and were drawn to the Thai food. As soon as we sat down, I had a strong feeling that I was in for an authentic meal when I noticed the restaurant playing Thai pop music. Monday was a great day to visit, as they offered a weekday lunch special: $14 for a spring roll, a soup, and an entrée. We both decided to go for the special after discovering that the soup of the day was Tom Yum! One of us chose tofu, and the other chose chicken. The vegetarian spring roll was crispy and paired really well with the semi-sweet sauce. The sourness of the Tom Yum soup was the perfect appetizer to kickstart our appetite. I want to mention the surprising amount of food packed into this seemingly small cup of soup: a big chunk of tomato, onions, mushroom chunks, and 4 pieces of tofu! I wasn't expecting such a hearty portion and was pleasantly surprised. The amount of soup in the cup was also more than enough. As we were finishing our appetizers, our entrées arrived. We ordered Chicken Pad See Ew with 2 chili (spicy) and Chicken Massaman Curry with 3 chili (medium spicy). The Chicken Pad See Ew was heavily flavored--maybe a little salty--but it smelled wonderful and absolutely delicious. The thick noodles were packed with flavor, making for a satisfying combination with the protein and vegetables. The curry sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but once again, the bowl was filled with food. The portion of chicken was generous, the potatoes were cut into large pieces and cooked just right, and I especially enjoyed the crunchy peanuts that added extra texture. The server was friendly and attentive, checking on us several times throughout the meal. I also appreciated the slice of lemon in the ice water. When I inquired about vegetarian options, I was told they offer vegetable stock-based sauces that can make the dishes vegetarian! We cleaned all our plates and bowls except for the curry. I'd definitely want to visit again and maybe try other à la carte dishes, appetizers, or desserts next time! read more

Thai Lada - Chicken N1. Pad Thai Noodle - Thai Near Me - Austin, Texas

When my go-to spot for takeout was closed and we were looking for something nearby, we ended up picking up food from here instead. It was a rainy night, and I appreciated that there was dedicated to-go parking in the back, making it convenient to get in and out. I can't speak much about dining inside, but it looks quite intimate with a few tables, and I believe they also have an outdoor patio. In terms of food, we ordered a bit of everything and still had some leftovers for the next day. The green curry was very flavorful and I liked the addition of eggplants and bamboo shoots. The crab fried rice had flakes of crab you could see and the flavor was also good, if not a bit strong. This dish also comes with a side of spicy vinegar/fish sauce if you are looking for even more flavor. The Khao Soi Gai was another curry based dish and would strongly recommend mixing it all together if you get it to go. The Pad Kee Mao was also tasty with a good amount of noodles. We enjoyed most everything we had, but would caution ordering the choo chee salmon which didn't taste the freshest. The salmon also lacked flavor as it seemed the curry was just poured over it. All the proteins we ordered were also a bit overcooked but this could have been because it was sitting for over half an hour until it was consumed. However, overall the flavors of all the dishes were good and will come back since it's so close. read more

The food was really goodI ordered papaya salad and mango sticky rice and both were delicious. However, the pickup experience made me uncomfortable. After placing my online order, I was contacted and asked why my address was different. I explained that I had just moved here as of Saturday and they mentioned issues with theft on larger orders, my order was only 22$ which I understood. I even offered to show my ID and card when I arrived. When I got there, I showed my card to verify, but the staff member took a photo of my card. This made me very uncomfortable, especially since other customers were picking up orders without any issue. I respect that they are trying to protect their business, but taking a photo of a customer's card without consent is not appropriate. Because of this, I won't be returning which sucks because I really enjoyed the food read more

When I want Thai curry, I expect Thai eggplant...not the Italian ones; that's a totally different flavor and pissed me off. And cucumbers? Instead of the squash. I know different places use different ingredients but this was a big disappointment; but the heat level and curry flavor was good and so were the egg rolls; but yea... won't be getting my curry fix from them anymore. read more

The best Thai food I have ever eaten. Food is fresh! Service is excellent! Quaint atmosphere.

One of my favorite Thai restaurants. Their pad thai and wings are amazinggg! Highly recommend!

Updating my review because I've been back to Thai Lada several times. I think I've been dining in or ordering take out from here at least every few weeks. It has become my new frequent Thai spot in this area. In addition to the dishes from my previous review, I've now also tried their fried rice, pad kee mao, tom yum, boat noodles, mango sticky rice, and more. The food is consistently delicious,and the flavors are well balanced. The prices are so reasonable. read more

One of our favorite Thai restaurants in Austin! The drunken noodles is packed with flavor (best drunken noodles in Austin IMO), same with the basil fried rice. The Tom Yum soup is standout and the chicken dumplings are great as well (although I would get the sauce on the side next time). Ordered delivery from Uber Eats and it arrived tasting like it just came out of the kitchen! We've also eaten on the patio a few times. read more

Review is for pickup via GrubHub with a 15 minute travel time. We ordered the Pad See-Ew and the Boat Noodles (Spicy 3). Pad See-Ew: 2/5. The portions were okay but there wasn't enough meat. Some kind of flavor in the noodles was overwhelming - I think it was either oily or buttery. I would recommend some spice to offset this flavor. We ordered with zero spice and I couldn't take more than a few bites. Drunken Boat Noodles (4/5). Not enough noodle at all for the dish and way too much basil in the package (I'd suggest adding maybe half the basil). The soup had overwhelmingly salty flavor with hints of spice and more complex flavors. The pork rinds went pretty well with it, actually. The spice was packaged separately and I couldn't tell if the soup was already spicy or if I had to add it all in to reach the desired spice level. Overall, it's an okay Thai establishment that is quite pricey for the portions. I hope to try the boat Noodles in person next time. read more

Ordered take out from here and it was a good amount of food. I ordered tofu pad Thai, crab fried rice, chicken wings, and dumplings. The pad Thai was really flavorful and filled with tofu pieces. The crab fried rice had so much crab in it, this was probably my favorite dish. I had the Thai flavored wings and love the tamarind powder dusted on the wings. I would say the dumplings were my least favorite, solely because of the amount of sauce on the dumplings, read more

I ordered F1 House Fried Rice (GF) that listed "house soy sauce" in the ingredients. Since it stated "GF" I assumed that they used a special soy sauce that did not contain wheat. I even specified allergy as "Gluten Free" when ordered delivery, but they now say that you have to specify Gluten Free for the House Fried Rice to get it gluten free. read more

The drunken noodles, medium spicy, were fantastic. Coconut shrimp appetizer were tasty. Shrimp spring rolls were very nice. Crab Rangoon that we didn't order was also good. Enjoyed sitting outside to catch the end of the dinner period as traffic was winding down. Quick service although not perfectly accurate but it's not a perfect world, yet this is pretty good value. read more

Good spot for Thai. Great date spot for Thai. Nice patio outside for those cool breezy evenings. The food was good, I'd rank it about average for Thai food. The vibes make the experience better. Definitely worth a try. read more

I went here with a friend and it was pretty decent. The pad Thai wasn't too bad. The spice level was pretty good for a 3 but i guess I like my pad Thai slightly more sweet (?). I'm not really sure what flavor it is, but this place didn't have it. The crab fried rice tasted yummy from the bite I had and the staff were super attentive. read more

I'm always looking for a new Thai place to try and we came upon this place in a cute complex area. They have a nice outdoor seating area as well as indoor area with full window walls. It was a cold day and we ordered a Tom Yum soup which I've never had before, but was delightfully sour and savory with vegetables and tofu. We also got basil fried rice and a Penang curry that were super flavorful and full of vegetables which I appreciate. The prices are reasonable and the flavors are rich, I also appreciate that, you can change spice levels according to what you like. It wasn't too busy around 2 PM, but I would keep in mind that they close the kitchen at 3 PM for lunch so we tried not to stay too long past that. Overall, really enjoyed the meal. read more

The food here was decent! The Green Curry with Tofu was amazing, the flavor was really good. However, the thickness of the curry could be a little thicker. The curry felt super thin and watery. For the Tofu House Fried Rice, the flavor was really good, it has an eggy flavor if you do get the eggs - which can taste great depending on preference. The miss here were the noodle dishes. Both the Pad Thai and the Pad Kee Mao was very dry and needed more sauce. There did not seem much flavor in these so it was a bit disappointing. I do recommend getting the Thai Tea as it hits the spot for good Thai Tea. We went here on a Thursday and it was a bit empty during dinner hours. The service was great and the waiter was super patient and kind. I would come back again and try something else! read more

Ordered from here several times in the past year hoping it was just a miss every time, but the quality of the food has gone way down. The chicken didn't taste good (not sure what's wrong with it)? The yellow curry with 5 hot was soupy and sweet like dessert, the flavor was so sugary completely inedible. They removed their best soup from the menu "lemongrass soup" while the tom yum you could barely taste the tamarind. Chicken pineapple stir fry had so much broth it was like a curry not a stir fry! The tom kha soup and the dumplings were just okay. A total waste of money for a meal. Whoever is cooking there something needs to change. I really hope that y'all improve to the yummy place you were years ago. read more

I found this place just by searching nearby the home. My bf and I used to drive out to georgetown for his favorite Thai place but they became very inconsistent. I found this place maybe a few months ago and we have been coming at least 2 times a month. We usually get their pad see ew and the garlic edamame and Thai tea. Very consistent and good every time I highly recommend this place and we will continue to come here until we move to Buda. read more

This place was great! Simple and satisfactory Thai spot on Parmer. I tried this place because my Thai friend said they brought their mom and she approved we ordered khao soi and pad see ew and I was super impressed by how the food came out 5 minutes after ordering PIPING hot. Pad see ew was a little on the sweet side and maybe could have used some more char, but I liked the flavors and the level of spice (spice level 2) both dishes came with. I'll have to be back for their boat noodles and apps! read more

Dine in if you want the best experience of their food coming off the woks to your table with visible wok hei still steaming off the food! I usually order delivery from Thai Lara but and it's a solid delivery food. But the food just taste better when you dine in as most things are but this is especially exceptional. We ordered the pad se ew with beef and the crab fried rice. The crab fried rice blew us away and the sweetness of the crab and the savory of the rice was a nice paring. The fried rice wasn't overly greasy as well. read more

I've been to this place more than I can count and its hands down my favorite Thai place in all of the ATX and Round Rock area. The last time I came in was last week with my Sancho (lol) no but really, I came with my lunch bestie. We ordered some menu items to share. Tom Yum I love a good Tom Yum as it's a classic. The aromatic soup blends spice and freshness all together and it's healthy to boot. I had this menu item prepared extra spicy just the way I like it and it did not disappoint. Crab fried rice This jasmine rice dish had sweet bits of crab mixed in with Thai spices. It was a light yet filling dish. Salmon Just yes to all of it. The crispy salmon was cooked perfectly with fresh vegetables and onions in a well simmered and robust juice. Thai tea Who doesn't love this beverage? Well maybe if your lactose intolerant, perhaps you don't. But this tea tasted just like the type I ordered daily while in Thailand. The service here is great and the food is spectacular. #supportlocal read more

" This place is Legit!!" - my thai father-in-law. I've come to Thai Lada several times and each time the food has been excellent. Just thinking about it makes me hungry. I've had the food via take out and dine in. It taste way better dine in. There aren't many staff members and seats, so you might need to wait a bit for a table. I've ordered a ton of different dishes here and they have all been good. So my recommendation is to speak to your server and figuring out if you wanted a sweet, savory, soup, or spicy dish. I haven't come across a bitter dish here but I wouldn't doubt they have something like that on the menu In terms of sweet andsavory noodle dishes you can go with classics like Pad Thai, Pad Kee Mao, Prik Pao, and Pad See Ew I am a fan of the northern thai curry dish Khao Soi. The dish here comes with Chicken and so it is called Khao Soi Gai. Gai being thai for chicken. Boat noodles and Crab fried rice are also fan favorites. If you are looking so a slightly sour soup, you can try the Tom Yum Soup Larb Salad is a spicy meat salad that is also good. Even at the spiciest request, the food is probably a 6/10 on the spiciness scale. I would at least go medium spicy since the aromatics will add to the flavors of the dish. If you really like spicy food, you can go thai spicy and I doubt you'd break a sweat. Overall, I am a big fan of this place. The food is serviced fast and fresh. Prices are reasonable. read more

I am so happy to have found this place! My new go to for when I need something fresh, comforting, and affordable. I ordered the yellow curry, Tom kha soup, and fried tofu appetizer, and was blown away by each unique dish. Hands down best Thai food I've had in my life. On top of the food being amazing, the staff were so kind and attentive, and my food was out within minutes! The portions were super generous and provided me with lunch and dinner the next day. I will be recommending Thai Lada to everyone I know because I know they will have just as great of any experience as I did! read more
