Delicious fried chicken and flavorful boat noodles made for a satisfying meal. The restaurant has an almost self-service concept--you place your order at the counter, and the staff bring the food to your table. The service is friendly and efficient, and the casual canteen-style atmosphere makes it a comfortable spot for a quick, tasty meal.
Good spot with different Thai options. You order up front and they bring the food to you. We came here for a light snack and the food came out fast. I would likely come back to try the other items. There's a good amount of space inside plus an outdoor patio. The meal included a soup. The rice is infused with ginger. Chicken is not overcooked and crispy
This Thai-Chinese restaurant was amazing. My friend got the boat noodles, and I got the khao man gai combo. The combo comes with poached chicken, fried chicken, and rice. The chicken was delicious. They were great with the fermented bean sauce and sweet chili sauce. The portions were generous, although I finished it all. The boat noodles were so tasty as well. We each paid about $20 for our meals. The decor was cute with a nice, casual ambience.
This one was kind of a miss for me. I ordered the kway teow gai tod tom yum and it was wayyy too spicy for no real reason. They told me it was a 6/10 spice level, but it felt way beyond that. I have a pretty okay spice tolerance and this was at the point where it just stopped being enjoyable. The dish itself is a noodle soup with fried chicken, but the chicken became soggy within minutes, which was disappointing. Between the overpowering spice and the soggy texture, it was hard to enjoy the rest of the flavors, even though the idea of the dish sounded good. That said, the restaurant itself is definitely a vibe. The interior is nice, modern, and spacious, and service was fast, which I appreciated. Everything came out quickly and the staff was efficient.
Came here for lunch on a Sunday. My friend and I ordered the roasted chicken dish and the fried chicken dish- plus she got the alcoholic slushie. My roasted chicken dish was good! The rice was cooked perfect, chicken moist, but the true stars were the pickled or fermented cabbage and the soy garlicky dipping sauce! I liked how they cut the chicken onto the plate but gave you the rest of the chicken leg. I do wish that the chicken itself had more flavor- that I could taste some spices or char. But it tasted how I would expect the boiled chicken to taste. The crispy chicken on the other hand was perfection!!! So crunchy and delicious and loved the kind of sweet and sour dipping sauce. Not sure why that plate doesn't come with the cabbage- I think the tangy cabbage would go nice with the fried coating. But both plates also had some fresh cucumber and THE BROTH! I wish they sold this broth by the gallon I bet it would cure any cold or flu. I thought the portions were good and I left full without feeling yucky. The pork belly special looked amazing and I will absolutely be back to try more of the menu!
Solid boat noodle and combo rice. I really wished they could adjust the spicy level of the boat noodle as not everyone can take that spicy level. Other than that, food is good. Service is pretty much self serve other than they bring you the food. Casual place to eat w family and friends. Will be back to try other dishes.
One of the absolute best chicken places in Austin. When you think of chicken, rarely does Thai cuisine come into your mind but this place will change that. I was very intrigued by their menu since it wasn't traditional Thai with curries and noodles but it is oh so much better. I got their Khao Man Gai which is their main attraction. The fried chicken is cooked perfectly and pairs so well with both of their sauces they provide. The spicy chili sauce especially was my favorite for the extra kick it provided. And it was so amazing to wash it down with their chicken broth. We also got their pork dumplings which were out of this world too. The vibe of the place is very casual and the restaurant itself is very spacious with lots of seating which I always appreciate. The staff was also very nice and attentive. Overall, a 10/10 experience and one of my favorite new places in Austin.
OVERVIEW: Solid spot offering up Thai-Chinese style hainan chicken rice and wontons. Very casual vibe off of Airport Blvd. where you order at the counter, take a table number, and seat yourself. Water is available to self-serve and you can order any additional drinks at the counter. Overall, the food and drinks were good and service was decent. My only minor complaint is that the bench seating along the wall is extremely uncomfortable (low back), and the paint peels off and sticks to your skin/clothing. Not a very good experience sitting there. Other than that, food was tasty and I would revisit (and sit at another table)! QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Yes, ample spaces across two side lots. - Reservations? No, this is a very casual eatery. FOOD/DRINK RATINGS: - Thai tea (5/5): Classic and strong while being creamy and flavorful. My favorite is always the green Thai tea, but I enjoy both! - Combo chicken meal (5/5): I like that you can try both the fried and poached. The poached is served at room temp (they do give you the heads up when you order). The sauces were good and the rice was perfectly cooked. Decent portion sizes. - Wontons (4/5): Not pictured. Tasty but nothing out of the ordinary.
The first time I came here I thought the portions were quite small for the price, but it's actually pretty filling. I got the fried pork belly which was good, but it was cut in such thin slices that you couldn't fully enjoy the crunch of the fried part. I still think the Khao Man Gai Tod is probably the best option for rice dishes. Its rice is a special chicken rice and it comes with soup, even though it doesn't mention it on the menu. The menu and actual orders seem to have inconsistencies with which ones come with soup on the side. I love the sauces, although they can be spicy with the jalapeno seeds. There is a lot of seating but be prepared to park on the street, the parking lot is pretty small.
Rating: 4.1/5 [dine in] There are two parking lots available, with the one in the front being smaller than the one in the back. The front lot was full so we had to park in the back on a late Saturday afternoon. As soon as you walk in, the interior design gives off a strong sense of being transported to Thailand. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating as well. You place your order at the front, receive a table number, and seat yourself. There's a self-serve water station, along with utensils and napkins, though each table is also already stocked with the essentials. Fried Chicken Skin ($7): I'm not one to order chicken skin but this place does it well. Perfectly fried to a crisp while still maintaining the flavor and richness of the skin. Each piece was a great size--not too small or too large--and full of flavor. It also came with their housemade sweet chili sauce, though I didn't think it added much. It didn't pair particularly well with either the chicken skin or the Khao Man Gai. Khao Man Gai Combo ($18): This combo included both poached and fried chicken, served with subtly fragrant chicken fat rice and two sauces: a fermented bean ginger chili sauce and a sweet chili sauce. The poached chicken was decent, but neither sauce really complemented it well. Personally, I prefer the Vietnamese-style Hainan chicken over this version. The fried chicken was just okay; we've had better at other Thai restaurants. Ba Me Moo Dang ($17): Thin egg noodles tossed in Thai-Chinese seasoning, topped with BBQ pork, bok choy, bean sprouts, crushed peanuts, green onion, and cilantro, with a side of CK broth. This was flavorful and well-prepared, but the sauce leaned a bit too heavy on the umami for our liking. We actually ended up using it as a dipping sauce for our chicken. The BBQ pork, however, was excellent--tender, flavorful, and well-seasoned. I'm not sure if the CK broth and the one served with the Khao Man Gai combo were the same. They looked different: one was clear with cilantro, while the other appeared more cloudy and slightly grainy. Overall, the food was flavorful enough on its own, that we didn't really need the additional sauces. We ended up so much leftover that we brought home four sauce containers. Soy Nam Jim ($1): This sauce isn't spicy on its own, but the green chilies add a fun kick of heat. Definitely enjoyable. Nam Jim Jaew ($1): Bold and spicy, thanks to the generous amount of dried chili flakes. If you like heat, this one delivers.
You order at the counter, get a number and seat yourself. The staff is friendly enough however I had a really odd interaction. I asked for a lime or lemon since I got the boat noodles which are 5/5 spicy. She told me they didn't have any. She said sometimes they only have them for special drinks and slushees. I thought that was odd considering lime is a staple in Thai cuisine but figured the owners just didn't want to deal with fruit maybe going bad. After ordering, we sat down and I noticed another customer sit down with a Topo Chico and LIME. So the cashier just straight up lied which left a bad taste in my mouth and we had just tipped at the counter. I've had their khao mun gai, khao moo dang, and boat noodles. I think their khao mun gai is average, it's not something I would order again but unfortunately the only place in Austin I've found that makes it so far and sometimes I really crave the dish, but not from here if that makes sense. The khao moo dang came with a good portion of meat. It's not spicy at all which was welcome alongside the boat noodles. They fill up the boat noodles bowl with a bunch of veggies and other ingredients. It's again, very spicy, and I would not order it unless you handle spice well. But if you can, it's got a really nice flavor profile. This is the only dish I'd get again.

This is such good comfort food and I feel like I am instantly Transferred back to a rural area in Asia bc of the mom and pop vibes. Food is on point. Don't miss this place when visiting Austin. It's an order at the front and go sit at the table kind of place, great for groups and casual lunch. read more

Ordered this to go. Meat was still crispy. While both good I preferred the pork belly bc of the spicy sauce. The soup had this red broth that was really tasty and not spicy. Teas are on draft but still good There is a parking lot and indoor/outdoor seating if you dine in read more

This place has an immersive, fun, casual environment and the service was friendly. As my first time, I had to try their main dish, khao man gai, but I also shared the chicken salad, fried chicken skin, and tried some of my friend's duck noodle soup special. The khao man gai was good though I felt I should have gone with the fried option since it's basically Chinese poached chicken. The chicken broth that comes on the side is soo good though. Everything else was really good too but beware the chicken salad and duck soup are spicy! It really catches up to you. I also expected the chicken salad to have more "salad" but there was quite a generous portion of chicken. I look forward to trying some other dishes. read more
I randomly found this place when searching different places to eat in Austin, and I also came by an article stating Pig Tounge Salad from P'Thai was voted one of the best in town. This place is literally in the middle of nowhere in Austin, seems to be family owned. So we came for that dish as long as other one we wanna try out. This place is quite cozy with indoor and outdoor seatings. You order in front and sit anywhere you want. Service is friendly and informative. We got Khao Man Gai, Pig Tongue Salad, Fried Chicken Skin, and Thai Boat Noodles. Came for one thing, got surprised by others. - Khao Man Gai, fried and steamed (8/10): tender chicken, sauces were different from regular Hainan styled chicken rice. - Pig Tongue Salad (8.5/10): chewy texture, tasty peanut sauce mixed in the salad. - Fried Chicken Skin (6.5/10): good but quite oily, the sweet and spicy dipping sauce helped a bit. - Thai Boat Noodles (11/10): strong, bold, hearty, comforting. Packed with flavors and spices, lots of meats and veggies. Highlight of the meal, hands down. I can't say enough about that boat noodles, we had to come back the next day just for it (and got even spicier version). This is one of the best thai boat noodles I've ever had in the US. Still dreaming and drooling of that bowl because I don't know when I will get to try again. If you're ever in town, must give them a visit. Most items are delicious, but you can't leave without trying boat noodles. read more
Their chicken dishes were really good, it came with chicken fat rice which I enjoyed a lot. The pork belly was pretty good but I liked the chicken better. I would come back again for a quick hearty meal. You order at the counter and get a number and sit. The service is fast and the workers explained the menu to us well as well as gave us good recommendations. read more

A friend went here, liked it, took 2 mutual friends, they loved it, one of them took me, I loved it as well, and here I am telling you to go check it out too! Word of mouth will keep this place in business for a long, long time. P Thai's is definitely casual dining but there is nothing casual about the flavor of their meals. I recommend getting the combo chicken so you can try both the boiled and fried chicken in one go but you honestly can't go wrong with either. We also go the bbq pork noodle which we enjoyed but the chicken (both ways) were our favorites. You won't regret checking P Thais out. read more
Absolutely delicious meal. The spot has tons of parking and seating, including a patio. You order at a counter and then they bring your food to you. I got the combo player that has the poached chicken and the fried chicken. Both were really good, especially with the sauce. I wanted to try the boat noodles but I was warned they're very spicy. read more
P Thai moved to this location after their spot as a takeout place in Hong Kong Supermarket closed down. At their new location, they still retain that classic takeout ambiance, despite offering a cozy seating environment. Here at these new digs, the building is nicely decorated and painted with dark blue and a dark Meyer lemon yellow, with both indoor and outdoor seating. Interior seating has chairs and red and blue checkered table tops, with bench seating along the walls. The bench seating features peeling blue paint on the seating surface. The parking lot is tiny (there are two unconnected lots on both sides of the building). If full, street parking suffices. However, be aware that portions of the neighborhood have parking restrictions between 4pm-8pm on certain days of the week. The bathrooms are clean with automatic dispensers for soap, paper towels, and water. They are located on the north aide of the restaurant. But to order, you walk up to the counter, browse through their menu on one of the several clipboards distributed across the countertop, and then place an order with a staff member who enters your order into their Toast system. You'll pay, and then they will give you a number on a stand; you can choose your ideal seating location, and obtain your own beverages (water from igloo coolers), utensils, and napkins. Food will be brought to you shortly. If you want to order takeout for pickup instead, visit their Toast Tab page and place your order online. If they are swamped or short staffed, it's highly unlikely that any staff will answer your phone call. As for their food: I find their Khao Ka Moo (Braised Pork Shank) to be the one dish which I would repeat order. First, the meat, skin, and gelatinous masses are well-flavored. It comes on top of white rice, along with pickled veggies, an egg (sometimes braised), and a vinegar garlic chili sauce. Their Khao Man Gai (Chicken) would also be up there only if they seasoned their chicken. However, it seems the expectation is that you dip it in their fermented bean ginger chili sauce. If you don't want to dip, you'll be eating very bland chicken. However, their chicken is served atop their chicken-fat rice, which by itself is quite delectable. If that essence was also present in the chicken itself, they'd have a sure winner. Chicken broth and cucumber also accompany this dish. The Khao Moo Dang (BBQ Pork) is rather disappointing. The BBQ pork itself is flavorless, dependent on the two sauces for flavor. It also comes with some Chinese sausage which lends a slightly sweet taste, some cucumbers, and it is served over white rice and an egg. Their Boat Noodles are quite salty. It's also demarcated as a spicy dish. The first few bites are savory, but it'll become a slog to finish them without some water to counter the salt content. The meat content is quite sparse. Three to four slices of pork, two pork meat balls, and some amount of noodles hiding underneath, topped with chicharrones. Leafy greens are also present. Their Sukiyaki is not as salty, but it has an interesting, almost uncooked flavor. They claim to use some type of fermented bean paste. If they used miso, it couldn't have been a very nice one. At first I thought the uncooked flavor was from the fermented paste itself, an almost slightly alcoholic essence. But then I realized the onions that they added were quite raw, which helps explain the imparted flavor. Napa, sliced pork, rehydrated fried tofu, fish balls, shrimp, and mung bean noodles are also present. The shrimp was mushy. A chili sauce accompanies the dish. The sukiyaki is larger than their boat noodles. ------ Overall impression: Their braised pork (Khao Ka Moo) and chicken-fat rice are clear standouts which might entice you to come back again. You might even like their sauces. However, many of their meats are un(der)seasoned (bland), and their soup/noodle dishes unfortunately fall into the "do not recommend" category. Online ordering is available on their Toast Tab page. read more
Fried and poached chicken combo with chicken fat rice: rice was delicous. The poached chicken was a bit boring compared to the fried one but the sauces that come with fix it right up. ($18) The restaurant is brightly colored and cozy and you order at the counter. read more
This is the spot for Chicken and rice - albeit the Thai version. The fried chicken is so crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. And the poached chicken is so tender. The sauces are so delicious. And the chicken fat rice is addicting. The meal is just so homey and delicious, yet simple and won't make you feel too heavy. The fried pork belly is also way juicier than I expected. We tried the special - tom yum wings - and they didn't have any pictures so when it came out it wasn't what we expected at all. I thought it would be like just wings with Tom yum flavoring. But it was actually tom yum soup with wings inside! The soup was super flavorful but also a bit too spicy for my taste. read more

Had an amazing dinner at P Thai's. It's a chill restaurant with fair prices and delicious food! You order at the counter, and they gave us a quick rundown of the menu. We ordered the Khao Man Gai Combo (chicken and fried chicken combo). It came with two sauces, that both elevated the chicken. I loved how flavorful the chicken fat rice was with each bite. Honestly I prefer this version of chicken rice! We also got the pork belly which came with a spicy fish sauce. It was cooked perfectly! Favorite bite of the night! We also got the pork tongue salad that my Thai friend approved!! It was really good if you enjoy pig tongue! Highly recommend this spot if you want a quick meal for both dine in and takeout! read more

The food was great. We got the fried and poached chicken combo. Didn't expect the poached chicken to be cold. We got the tom yum noodle soup and listen, when they tell you that it's spicy- BELIEVE THEM. I was still able to eat and enjoy it but I could not finish it without some stomach issues happening later. Extremely spicy. The ambience and service were both great. Loved the colorful decor. read more
Cute little Thai spot. Great service. We ordered at the counter and then grabbed a table. We ordered the pig tongue salad to start along with the Khao Man Gai Combo and Khao Ka Moo. The salad was great with a lot of flavor. We also preferred the chicken fat rice and the fried chicken. The chicken was fried to perfection. Good portions. It was a fun tasting experience. read more
Austin was in dire need of a chicken rice place, although Hainanese / Singaporean style is my #1, this place definitely hit the spot. I would recommend getting some of the spicier, less sweet sauces offered on the menu for $1 each because the sauce supplied with the khao man gai was sickly sweet to me. The tom yam noodle soup was very tasty although again, too sweet for my liking. I was missing a bit of sharpness. But absolutely no real complaints. Friendly counter service and really comfy seating (love the benches and decor, made it feel kind of casual Thai) -definitely will be back. read more
I remember P Thais when they were located inside Hong Kong Supermarket. Now at an actual restaurant location, Plenty of seating inside and some outdoor "patio" seating as well. The food comes out quick every time I've gone. The portion sizes I feel like slightly increased, which is great because the first two times I went I felt like it was overpriced for how little chicken they give you. The food itself is awesome, my go to is the Khao Man Gai combo. Their fried chicken skin is delicious as well. The boat noodles is solid if you're craving some soup noodles, but it's unique and not like other Asian soups from a flavor profile. I do love a good Thai iced tea, but have refrained from ordering since it $6 which imo overpriced for a glass of tea which will be half ice anyways. I'd say 4.5 stars out of 5. read more

What an awesome experience of flavors. Came here for lunch and it was quite busy but plenty of space in the dining room. Ordered the khaki man gai combo, chicken skin, and boat noodles. The fried chicken tastes so juicy and not overly fried and floury. The other chicken was juicy and flavorful and the sauces paired so well. The rice was also amazingly moist. The chicken skin was so addicting I was eating it like chips and the noodles were flavorful and packed a spicy punch! Service was awesome and borough waters every so often. Will definitely come back! read more

Solid authentic Thai restaurant reminiscent of the small restaurants in Thailand. I got Khao Man Gai Tod with nam jim and my partner had moo deng. Really tastes just like a parent's cooking. Nam jim was sufficiently spicy and the food was delicious. I wish they gave more cucumbers to cut all that meatiness and rice, but it was nevertheless great. I would err it on the more expensive side. $16 for my khao man Gai Tod is a bit steep but there's not much around Austin to compare in price. The moo Deng is slightly more substantial and sits at an expected $18. Good food in a causal atmosphere. Could you get this for 1/4 of the price in Thailand? Yeah, but you're not in Thailand and you'd probably have to deal with the heat. A place I'd go again for sure though. read more

Really liked the ambience of this place, and the portions are generous. The chicken dishes came with a broth on the side. The meat is really juicy and tender. Khao Man Gai Combo: Both types of chicken really sing when you use their respective sauces, and the rice is addicting. The fried chicken (Khao Man Gai Tod) was the favorite. Crispy crunchy skin and juicy meat. The Khao Gai Yang was good as well, just couldn't beat the Tod. Note that this dish is served "hot" while the original is served "room temp". read more
