This is one of my favorite Thai restaurants in Austin because it is authentic ingredients. I've been going here for many years and noticed some good changes. The front patio is nice and clean - great for outdoor dining and large groups. The lighting is brighter now which makes the place more open and vibrant. I also liked that they updated the menu - everything looks so good. Our food today was delicious and couldn't stop myself. Come get your real Thai food here. Ask for the coconut Thai tea!!!!! So freaking good!!!!

I recently visited Thai Kitchen, and had an excellent dining experience. The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was packed with authentic flavors, and the balance of spices was spot-on. We tried a variety of items, from the classic Pad Thai to the rich and fragrant Coconut Milk Soup, and each one was cooked to perfection. The portions were generous, and the ingredients felt incredibly fresh. The service was equally impressive. The staff were attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. They were knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations based on our preferences. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and I highly recommend Thai Kitchen to anyone craving top-notch Thai food with great service. Will definitely be coming back!

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.

Hands down my favorite thai restaurant EVER. The food here is SO good - flavorful, authentic, and high quality. They have an extensive menu for all types of diets. We ordered fried tofu and edamame for starters, Tom Ka and Pad See Ew for entres and 2 Chang (thai beer). Everything was amazing and came super quickly. The waitress was so nice, friendly, and attentive.

Food is good. I started off with the cheese puff, which were overall pretty good. I then got the Pad Thai and it was fresh and flavorful. The iced jasmine green tea is also a hit! Overall would recommend.
