    Crispy Fried Chicken Bowl
    Christian R.

    My wife and I finished a tasting experience at a nearby winery and were looking for some lunch nearby. Hye Thai was at the top of the list! Off the bat, in my personal experience, the ratings and reviews were very correct!!! If you're in the area make the stop and enjoy some delicious Thai food!! The location of the restaurant is right off the road between Johnson City and Fredericksburg--the restaurant itself was really nice inside and out, giving off the traditional "Hill Country" vibe. Once you enter the smell of Thai food fills the room (delicious). They have a good amount of tables inside, probably 10 or so, with some outdoor seating. The service was prompt--we were seated right away and orders were taken very quickly. I ordered the Crispy Fried Chicken Bowl: Fried Marinated Chicken over rice, greens, house pickled vegetables with fresh herbs. It came with a chili aioli on the side. It was a good portion of food and everything tasted SO FRESH. The fried chicken was not overly bread-y and wasn't super salty or greasy in any way. It was moist and actually soft. The mixture of the aioli with the rice and greens provided a good and fresh balance with the fried chicken. The aioli was creamy and had a small kick and enhanced the flavor of everything else! It was a perfect combination and although eating the whole bowl, I don't leave feeling overly full or anything. I highly recommend it. Hye Thai is a wonderful gem in the area and we will definitely be back!!!

    We were in the area for the 2024 eclipse, and though we ate a number of tasty things on the trip, Hye Thai served up the best meals we had in Texas. I'm from the SF Bay Area and have spent time in Thailand, so I feel lucky to have sampled a lot of good Thai food in my day. With that backdrop, Hye Thai is a truly excellent Thai spot. The Crying Tiger was the best piece of meat I ate during our whole BBQ-and-TexMex fueled journey (and that dipping sauce was incredible). Those crispy, saucy Brussels sprouts are something else - we bought it twice! We also loved the pork larb, Thai fried rice, green curry, udon noodles, fresh salad rolls, grilled shrimp skewers - basically everything we tried was a banger. If you're passing through Texas Hill Country, make sure to visit this lovely spot for flavorful eats.

    GLUTEN FREE DELISH! This place is almost 100% GF but you'd never know it with the flavors. Especially the friend shrimp. The service was also fantastic. Definitely a must try!

    Stir fry with chicken

    Fresh food! Just the right amount of spice level in stir fry. Attentive and pleasant service!!!

    It's SPICY! After an afternoon of wine tasting nearby, we wanted to grab a bite somewhere local before heading back to Austin and Hye Thai caught our eye! There's plenty of parking, there are other businesses next to it and it's hard to miss off the road. My go-to Thai dish is a Chicken Pad Thai so I went with that and requested it medium on the spice level. UM..that wasn't medium, that was more like hot for me, but man it was good! The noodles were flavorful so was that CHICKEN which you never know sometimes, it was just wow, spicy, juicy, and not dry! You can crank it up to a 6 level heat so heads up there. I did notice that the dish had a lot of grilled/sautéed onion which I personally am just not a huge fan of. The space has about 9-10 tables indoor and some seating outdoors. Service was okay as well. Lovely spot to dine at if you don't want the typical burgers/pizza/bbq around the hill country! Will come back and scale back on the spice level.

    Cucumber salad with peanuts on the side

    We came here after our wine tasting in Fredericksburg after our wine host recommended it. I'm not a big Thai person but my main dish - the Crying Tiger - was great! We got the cucumber salad, which wasn't my favorite. I love a Japanese cucumber salad that's sesame and spicy vs this one was sweeter. My mom and sister shared the stir fry with chicken

    Incredible cuisine. This restaurant opened up after a successful food truck run and it's clear why. The brussel sprouts and larb are fantastic (and sizeable) appetizers. The curry fried rice and chili garlic udon were flavorful hits. For the spice lovers a 2 or 3 is really solid, and even a 1 has a good heat to it.

    My husband and I visited this nice place for the first time. Very clean and neat. Food was good. For a party of two, we shared Pad Thai, Chicken Breast Curry and Spring Rolls. For drinks, we had Thai Ice Tea -we love it- Friendly and nice service. Give a try!!

    I tried the stir fry with crispy fried chicken at Hye Thai and it was really good. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the vegetables were fresh and flavorful. The portion size was generous and left me feeling satisfied. The customer service was great - the staff were friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Overall, I highly recommend Hye Thai for delicious Thai cuisine and excellent service. I will definitely be returning. Also, the brussels sprouts were absolutely amazing and the presentation and delivery of the food was stunning as well.

    The food is flavorful. Service was fast. Nice outdoor area. My group enjoyed several of the dishes. Fried pork spring rolls were so good. .

    Temporary food truck location- permanent location being built behind it now...

    Wow!! I have been on a mission to find great Asian food in Texas for the last fifteen years. I…read morefinally found it while rushing to get some food during a break in jury duty! I tried to find something "different" to avoid the lunch rush. What better than the side cafe in a Thai market? As hoped, it more than met the expectations. You turn left in the market and order from the cashier. There's some paper menus. Then you go to the other side and find a seat. Shortly afterwards this older gentleman will deliver the most amazing Thai meal you can imagine. Oh man, it almost makes me wish I get called up on jury duty again. I went with a classic Pad Thai lunch menu. Came with a wonderful spring role and some soup. Both were excellent. The Pad Thai was just insanely good. It's been about 20 years since I've been to Thailand so maybe my taste buds are aged, but it made me think I was back. If you ever want a great, hidden gem of Asian food - you have got to try this place out.

    My first visit to this place was during Covid. By mistake I was driving in San Marcos not knowing…read morewhat to do with the social distancing.... I pretty much ordered the whole menu back then... now recently I went back with my friends. It is still the way I remember it! You order at the counter and you can go around the supermarket waiting for your food The sweetest old man was doing the service at the tables. Every time he came around I wanted to get up and give him a hug! It definitely doesn't feel like Texas or even the US... even the drinks you can grab them from the cooler are Asian! I wish i lived closer I would go on a weekly basis!
