    Papaya salad
    Anh N.

    Was hesitant to try the Kyle location after change in ownership, the Lamar spot definitely was lacking flavors but Kyle redeemed the taste buds today! Everything was flavorful and on point! Still the best lao style papaya salad in town! Padsee ew was wok-ee and flavorful, tender beef. They have a spacious bar to grab a drink. Definitely excited to come back for crawfish season!

    was recommended this place by a friend an was glad to finally try it! Not what I expected at all, they have a very nice fusion of menu items, from Thai to Cajun to bar fair. Really looking forward to going back to try more, but this time around we tried some of the recommendations from our waitress. Food was very good (I'd say "strong flavors" and a bit of a twist on what you'd expect from everything we tried), marg was a bit more on the tart side than sweet side, but the star of the show was the staff. They went above & beyond to make recommendations, take our order quickly, keep our drinks full & check in on us throughout the meal. Will be back to try more of their options next time.

    Food and Drinks were delicioussss. Definitely come back again! Staff was also soooo friendly!

    Mango Sticky Rice Dessert

    Welcome to Kyle! Such an amazing addition to the area. The service was very warm and friendly! They did note their menu was going to be updated to be more easier to navigate through. Make sure to order your papaya salad mild cause oh it is spicyyy! The crawfish was amazing! The crawfish was so fresh and the shrimp was huge! The best seafood boil I have had in Kyle hands down! There was a bit of a wait for the seafood boil but...so worth it! So make sure you order some appetizers to hold you over. The oyster po boy was delicious! Their food has a Thai fusion so remember to take your pure Cajun hat off and just enjoy the delicious flavors! We enjoyed the mango sticky rice too! We will be back for the friendly service and nice ambiance. The food is so good! Make sure you come early cause it gets pretty crowded in the evening.

    Asian pepper chicken wings

    I came here for lunch and it was a great experience! I sat at the bar and the bartender was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. His name was Jamie (xajme), and at first I hesitated to sit at the bar because I wanted to eat my meal in peace but Jamie gave an appropriate amount of small talk that made my experience great! I had 2 pounds of crawfish, the long horn stuffed catfish and the Asian pepper chicken wings along with a hurricane! First I was hesitant to get crawfish because I am very picky, but these crawfish were clean, juicy and big! They were mixed in with their garlic butter sauce and it was delicious! I do have to say it was a little bit too much for my liking, but It was still enjoyable. Their price per pound (March 2025) is at $11.99 a pound but they were worth it! The Long Horn stuffed catfish was full of flavor that I can't even describe, it was just super good and very worth trying out. The Asian pepper chicken wings had great flavor! It was salty, sweet and not too spicy. This wasn't the typical deep fried chicken wings but it is soaked in a sauce and it was delicious! If you like your wings crispy, this isn't for you, but if you're willing to give it a try, it's delicious! The hurricane cocktail was very pleasant and it was not too sweet but strong and it was a great touch to my meal! I've only tried these three things on the menu but I will definitely be coming back to try out the rest of the menu! I think this is a great addition to Kyle Texas in the seafood restaurant!

    Raw oysters on half shell
    Joe D.

    Food was good. Crawfish was a little small, maybe cause start of season. Oysters were great, bartender gave me a sauce to put on oysters that was amazing. Some kind of Thai sauce i think. Use it!!

    Boiled shrimp. The server added the ice. Thank goodness he did because they were borderline overcooked. No attempt at presentation.

    I was seated quickly. I've seen this place through two changes of ownership. The decor is beautiful. Two tables were seated after me and at least greeted by their server and received drinks before me. After the maitre de saw me just sitting, a man came up and said do ya know what ya want? So I gave my order, the gumbo came out quickly. It was just okay. I'm used to a bit more flavor and spice. The fish chunks were larger than I'm used to. I also ordered half dozen boiled shrimp and half dozen raw oyster combo. Oysters came out quickly and were great. Although I have never eaten oysters with a regular sized fork. That wasn't a big deal. When he set them down, he said your shrimp will be out in a moment. Later he came back and he said the kitchen said five more minutes on your shrimp. A little bit later, he came back to my table looking sheepish and said I know before that they said five minutes, but now they're saying seven minutes. When he finally brought my shrimp out, they were on a white oval plate with ice on top of them. The server said they were still hot so I put ice on them. I am glad that he did because the shrimp were to the point of being overcooked. The shells were extremely hard to get off and the shrimp had not been deveined. The only reason I might consider coming back here is for the oysters And that's only if I cannot find them too expensive. The server did take the gumbo off of my bill. I do have some grace because they are still in their soft opening phase and I did let him know about the shrimp being overcooked. But I have an aversion to eating shrimp poop that's clearly visible.

    This Mango sticky rice is so warm due to rice and coconut milk with the cold mangos it's so comforting after eating your meal!!

Who doesn't love getting to sip on a budget?! (Don't forget to show some love to your bartender :) -- very clean restrooms! Very much appreciated! -- plenty of seating both indoors and outside.

The bathrooms are just spectacular here. I was greeted, seated, and waited on by a charming worker. Predictably, I ordered the Denver omelette because it's my go-to breakfast anytime it's available. It came out hot, complete, and with a beautiful presentation. The bell peppers were not as tasty as I'd hoped but the dynamite ham more than made up for it. The hash browns were okay but didn't really taste all that good. Not like the rest of the meal. The toast with butter and jam were top notch. I liked the substantial metal flatware and plates but wished the iced tea glasses could be larger. All in all it was just what I needed to face another day of work.

    This place knows pancakes with four all the time specialty flavors (pineapple, strawberry, cinnamon…read moreroll and banana), one specialty (currently sticky toffee) and the basic buttermilk. While they claim to be a breakfast / brunch restaurant, all of the options I saw on the menu are breakfast options (no burgers, no salads, soups, sandwiches, etc ). So if you like endless variations on eggs and some creative pancakes / French toast this place is for you. If one or more in your party want something different, they may not feel very excited with the menu. They have quite an extensive menu beyond pancakes if that's not your thing. They have a specialty bacon that I really enjoyed with a stack of strawberry pancakes. The wife went with two eggs, two bacon, hashbrowns, substituted the sticky toffee pancake for the bread options. She thoroughly enjoyed the eggs, bacon and pancake. The hashbrowns were a bit of a miss. They tried to do something unique with the potatoes and they were not the right texture, being on the mushy side of things. Service was competent and prompt. The wife had decaf coffee and while it was quite good, our server could have been more attentive in keeping her cup full. The inside decor seemed unremarkable to me. With no partitions to speak of, it was louder than most places. On the positive side, it we clean, comfortable and well maintained. Definitely a place to return to when we are in the area looking for brunch.

My mom and I both ordered Iced Pecan Pie Lattes which was a seasonal drink that they were featuring. We ordered our drinks to go, but then decided to sit in the cafe and enjoy our beverages. The coffee is legit! We both liked our beverages. I really enjoyed the pecan flavor and the sweetness level was perfect. The barista informed us that they make all of their syrups in house. I noticed that there were plenty of outlets for work or study. There's quite a bit of seating including couches. They have QR codes at each table that you can order from which is so convenient. In addition to coffee (which is served until 5 pm), they also have wellness drinks, wine, beer and cocktails. They have a nice sized stage for live music. I would love to go back in the evening for a cocktail and live music! I'm so happy to have discovered this gem in Buda!

I chose to go inside to throw our trash away and to inform staff of the trash situation. (No need having all that trash near your tables & front door) The staff informed me "we don't touch that. That's the City of Kyle's responsibility. They pick up on Saturday nights." Unfortunate that my visit was 6pm on a Saturday night. I can only imagine how messy the entire area will be by 9pm. I hope that the owners and management can figure out a way to handle this issue since the majority of the trash I saw inside & outside of the trash can was from their patrons.

We were already seated at our table with my mother and children when the situation occurred. My special needs child had a caramel frappé from McDonald's, which is her preferred drink and one of the only things she consumes, as she does not eat by mouth. Our server had already greeted us and taken our drink orders without raising any concerns. Shortly after, another employee approached us and stated that outside drinks were not allowed. I calmly explained my child's medical needs and that the rest of us were planning to order food. Despite this, the employee brought over a manager, who repeated the policy without any willingness to listen or show understanding. We were then told we could not stay and were effectively asked to leave. While I understand that businesses have policies, the complete lack of compassion, flexibility, and basic customer care in this situation was unacceptable. This was not a case of bringing in outside food for convenience--this was about accommodating a child with special needs while the rest of the family intended to dine and pay as customers. Being asked to leave under these circumstances was both embarrassing and upsetting. Based on this experience, I will not be returning. I hope management seriously reflects on how situations like this are handled in the future, because no family should be treated this way. I'm pretty sure they won't reflect on this situation seeing as how the manager was all too happy about kicking us out, he literally showed absolutely no compassion or care at all.
