Thai food is one of my favorites, and that's why I was excited to see this little food trailer move into our east central neighborhood. No culture balances its bold flavors better than our friends in Thailand. Mixing spice, sweet, savory, and strong ingredients into a balanced dish is quite the culinary rodeo. I ordered the Pad Thai, Tom Yum soup, and Green Curry. Oh dear. While the price was light, so was the quality. Every bite tasted exactly like the last, no matter if it was a noodle or one of the sparse vegetables that hide beneath a dull brown broth. Overcooked, over-spiced, and no synergy in any dish. It tastes like what you might imagine food from a tiny trailer tucked into a parking spot of a gas station whose pumps don't accept credit cards would taste. Take out is the only real option, unless you prefer sitting next to the hipster drinking a Steel Reserve out of a brown bag while shoveling hot spicy goop in his gullet -- gasoline and garbage perfuming the air. I offer two stars as a conciliation, because I found the daughter of this mother-daughter teamed trailer to be quite charming. It hurts to write a bad review to nice people, but however, it is an honest review. Not recommended. read more

My partner and I tried out this truck on it's opening day. We had the drunken noodles, and pad thai with chicken. Amazing. The drunken noodles had a kick to it that wasn't too hot to keep eating, and was on a level that I don't usually encounter- but love! The pad thai was great!! Spicy and sweet. The portions were more then generous for the price. Just thinking about the meal, makes me want to go back asap. Unfortunately we live kind of far from this place, but plan on going back when we get the chance. As for customer service, the Mother that runs the truck is one of the sweetest ladies I've met in a while. Very kind and insightful ( we had a chance to talk to her in depth). If you love thai food, you must check this truck out! read more

Want a good thai meal well under ten bucks? Try Thai Thani. The green curry is awesome, plenty of vegg with just the right amount of kick. My personal favorite is the pad see ew. Unlike a lot of places, it isn't too greasy. The owners are both very nice and everything is made to order. read more

Keemow chicken fried rice and green curry with stream rice are very authentic Thai taste and super delicious !! I'm Thai and came to Austin for Formula 1 so decided to stop by this place. Chef is very friendly and kind. I would definitely come back !! read more

Thai Thani - Thai green curry chicken with jasmine rice. Very delicious! - Thai Near Me - Austin, Texas

See all

Pros: Friendly service Ceramic Plates to eat off of (unheard of at a food truck) Decent prices Cons: Slightly too sweet sauce used for pad thai. Had to use a lot of chilli paste to even it out. Limited drink choices. Over all, I felt the price was well worth the amount of food I got. read more

Good food. Great people. It is nice to see how popular they have gotten as they deserve it.

Holy moly. I live in Cherrywood and have somehow missed this place. Well, I've found it now, and am I glad I have. Just enjoyed the green curry (spicy and delicious, and enough for 2+ meals), the crisp and tasty Thai egg rolls, and some sticky rice with mango, a favorite. They do a completely fantastic job with everything. I love Thai food and this is as good or better than any I've had. It is a treat to have such a wonderful takeout option minutes away. I'll return again and again. read more

Thai Thani is the best thai food in Austin and beyond. We are lucky enough to live within walking distance but you should come and sample the menu. From the delicious wings, savory yellow curry or drunken noodles, there is no wrong choice here. Everything can be cooked as spicy as you like but watch out. They also focus on environmentally friendly packaging and contact free food delivery. Definitely worth your time. read more

Great little Thai food find in E. Austin. (across from Thunderbird Coffee right now). I got a delicious green curry, and they kindly swapped out peppers and eggplant for broccoli for me. Super nice people, delicious food, and reasonably priced. If you want real Thai food cooked for you on the spot by the Thai-mother-you-never-had, go here. read more

Their meat is Halal and all of their dishes are excellent !! Must try for an Newbie !!

Excellent Thai food prepared in a food trailer. They have a sizable menu and the price is very reasonable. I highly recommend the cashew chicken and beef Pad See Eaw. the Tom Yum and Tom Kha soups were also very good. A great find in the less-than-diverse Cherrywood food scene. read more

after a busy week, you can always rely on getting the best green curry (and probably thai food) in austin here. i'd branch out more, but then i'd have to stop getting the green curry. always consistent quality, fresh & delicious (and actual real thai eggplant!!) lovely staff/owners/family and i'm always in a good mood after visiting--both for their friendliness and, of course, the deliciousness 10 out of 5 stars read more

Had a very warm and comforting green curry on a cold May night. It was spiced, but not too spicy with lightly cooked veggies and fluffy rice. I'd like for them to have a website with a menu for easier call in orders. I had to just pick from Yelp reviews and the one photo of the hand written menu. read more

The green curry rocks. I get it every time. My wife gets the black pepper beef and it's also very tasty. On previous visits I've had the drunken noodles and they are delicious and spicy. We ordered the pad thai once and it was so so. Also love the thai chicken wings when they have them on special and if it's cold out you can't go wrong with the tom yum. They can be a little slow but it is a trailer and the food is fresh so it's worth the wait in my book. Oh, and you cannot beat the value. It's inexpensive, like a trailer should be. read more

I love this food truck. It's conveniently located in my neighborhood and the food is great. They make the food fresh so there's a short wait, but it's worth it. The portions are generous and the price is very reasonable. The owner is sweet and enjoys chatting with customers. We have interesting conversations about all kinds of topics. Please go to this truck so it will stay open for me to enjoy forever. read more

Thai Thani is one of my favorite places to get Thai in Austin. While the seating and environment are lack-luster, the food more than makes up for it. The service is always good and conversational. They remember their repeat customers. I have had almost everything on the menu, twice. My most common pick is Stir-fried Basil with Chicken. read more

Often there is an inverse relationship between the amount of effort expended to make food inoffensive and the pleasure taken from eating it. In an attempt to make this food more palatable to the general public, the cook has eliminated all spice and flavor. I had the yellow curry, not bad per se, but bland and boring. read more

We love Thai Thani! They remember our family and our orders every time. The drunken noodles with chicken is delicious, with just the right amount of spice. My kids get the yellow curry, and love it. We've also enjoyed the cashew chicken--so good! The family who owns it is charming; I'm so glad to have Thai Thani in our neighborhood! read more

This was the first food we had in Austin when we moved here. Took a break from unpacking and walked down the street to find this gem! The owner noticed my food was too spicy for me (I was visibly struggling) and made me free tom kha soup with no spice so the coconut milk would soothe my tongue. The owners husband drove up while we were there in a cool classic truck and sat with us and talked to us about real estate and Austin in general. We felt very welcomed to the city by them! I hope it's not really closed! read more

Curry was awesome, large portion, cheap drinks, sweet lady runs the place, food is authentic. Seating is in a gas station parking lot, but hey, consider it a built-in date filtration device, if she don't love it, it wasn't meant to be! read more

Super Thai food. The pad se ewe was great, but the green curry was exceptional! Definitely one of the better Thai spots in Austin.

Hmm.. this is a tricky one. The food wasn't that great, but I'll give them the benefit of doubt since we reached post closing time, but they were gracious enough to take our order. Add to that our choice of spice level (4!!) which made matters worse (but hey! that was our choice). There are times when the niceness of the hosts make you want to try the food again before jumping to conclusions. So I'll be trying this one again, but well this time I'll be well before the shutting-down time. :) read more

We live down the street and have eaten here quite a few times. Good food, extremely friendly service. Taking off a star because it takes a long time (and though I've tried to call ahead, I never get through) and menu is somewhat limited. My favorites are Tom Yum soup with chicken, ordered SPICY (it delivers) and green curry. My kids are Pad Thai with tofu devotees. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Really impressed with the quality of food - tasted amazing - spicy done right where the food is flavourful and not just "burn your mouth" hot. The lady who was at the trailer was very sweet. For $8 food quantity isn't the extent you would get at a restaurant, but it is enough for 2meals (so a lot!). Will def come back for more! read more

Went there today with my gf, I had the pad Thai and she had the stir fry vegetables with tofu. Very fresh and crisp vegetables, the fried spring rolls were great. I brought some back to the office and were gone in 5 min. Owner came out to see if we enjoyed out food, she was very polite and positive. You can tell she loves cooking! Will be heading back in the near future! read more

was craving some thai last saturday and called thai thani in advance. I wouldn't ever do this place again. I had chx pad thai and the chicken tasted five days old, hard, inedible. noodles and sauce nondescript....well bad, mushy, no flavor. really ruined the experience and the chance that I'll ever spend money there again. beware read more

A little taste of Bangkok. Great food from a truck with friendly owners that love to talk about Thailand.

Had spicy shrimp fried rice, it was amazing. I loved it. Also tried chicken fried rice, it's good but the chicken should be seasoned in something. read more

Just left Thai Thani and it was amazing! I went for my first time a few weeks ago and found out that the cook, "Mary" was from Thailand! I was very excited because I visited Thailand a few years back and I had an amazing soup, Kao Soy, that I have't been able to find here in any Thai restaurants. She told me if I told her when I was coming, she would make it for me from scratch. Just got back. Holy. A load of flavors from curry, to coconut to lime. It was delicious! I bought another batch to take home it was so good. I would definitely recommend this place. Very nice and friendly and the real deal. Two thumbs up! read more

You know that smell of food that has been cooked in oil that has been used too long? That's what my pad thai and eggrolls smelled like. The pad thai had virtually zero egg; the tofu was not fried and was flavorless; there was no green onion, and very little sauce. It was probably the worst pad thai I've had in years. The eggrolls were so old that I spit it out immediately. I was really excited for pad thai, but it sucked. read more

Worst service I have ever had at a food trailer. Three friends and I stood outside the trailer for an hour. We slowly got our food one at a time over the last 30 minutes we were waiting. I love eating at trailers in Austin, but this was just an awful experience. And the food is not even worth the wait. read more

The food is fresh and restaurant quality. We come here all the time. The owner is the cutest! If you're there when business is slow ask her for some Thai dance moves, she knows what's she's doing and is very eager to teach. read more

THANI THAI IS NOT CLOSED. I just went there yesterday and it was great as usual. I got the yellow curry and she made it spicy for me. So tasty. read more

Don't walk, run! ...away from this food truck. I had lunch here. The curry was a nasty watered down mixture with bits and pieces of veggies floating in it. The "beef" looked rotten and was leathery - came in pinkie finger slivers and there were about 6 pieces total. The rice was not jasmine! For God's sake, this is a Thai food truck and rice is cheap! The least you can do is get some jasmine rice. Realizing my grave mistake in ordering at this truck, I braced myself and forced myself to take a couple of bites. The food was terrible. Rice was a faux pas and curry tasted like sugar water at best. I felt so gross as the food was making it down my throat. About 20 minutes later, my stomach starts to hurt. I have never had food poisoning before so I am not sure if that is what is going on, or if I just got sick to my stomach from the horrible sugary taste. Anyway, buyer beware. To be forewarned is to be forearmed. I have eaten a lot of really great Thai food both in restaurants and home-cooked, so I know good Thai when I see it. This cannot even be considered Thai curry. I am not sure if the reviewers w/ positive experiences ate at the same truck or if they are even real reviews.Good luck! read more

Delicious Pad Thai. Only thing I have tried but I'll be back. Love it that it is on the east side and easy to get to, easy parking and reasonable prices. I have had a hard time finding Thai food I love in Austin - this might be my new favorite place! read more

This place is great. Run by a quirky couple and their daughter (who live right in the neighborhood) this is probably the best and most authentic I have ever had. Pad see ew was delicious. Thom ka was nuanced and delightful instead of the usual one-note coconut milk fat-fest. Go support a great local business and fill your belly with awesome. read more

The pad thai was pretty good, well spiced but the tofu was very disappointing because it lacked any flavor at all and was obviously store bought. the green curry in my opinion was bland but after adding a good amount of soy sauce was edible. be prepared to wait 40-60 min and a nasty attitude from the girl at the stand. read more

Surprisingly fresh and good Thai food from a trailer. It took a little bit longer than usual trailer food as just one woman was cooking, but it was worth the wait. The food was fresh. Tofu wasn't fried, even without asking (not something I'm able to find very often around here)! They use really great chilis. Thankfully the woman taking my order warned me they were really hot. Medium hot was plenty firey. Definitely a go to spot. read more

Best Thai in Austin. Cheap, beautiful product, and proud owner that cooks all day for her guest. Can't find little, tasty vendors like this everyday. read more

The worst green curry that I've ever eaten. There was a lot of it, but next time I'll just buy a frozen HEB Thai curry entree and re-heat it. Cheaper and better. read more
