    This place was empty when I arrived for lunch on a Sunday. The service was quick and friendly however, the food was nothing to write home about. I ordered Pad Thai with tofu and it was a little on the bland side. The chicken satay was mediocre and the best part was probably the peanut sauce lol. The Thai Iced Tea was also a little on the weak side (could be sweeter) and the restaurant remained empty for the entire duration of my time eating there (not a good sign). Everyone from the wait staff to the cooks and what seemed like the owner were all speaking Spanish so take with that what you will, but overall again, this food wasn't great--definitely not something to write home about. There are better places in and around town that would easily be better. I tried Mai Thai a couple of miles away in downtown and that place was better by two miles (literally).

    This place is interesting! I believe it's more of a to go place since every time I've been im the only one actually sitting in and eating. One of the few times I've been their WiFi went down and I couldn't pay with card because their reader was down. Mind you I waited nearly an hour for it to be back up and for the first 10min the waitress kept telling me my card was declining and I had to explain to her that the card reader was saying there was no connection. Other than that food has been decent and they open late which is great considering they're closed to campus. The interior seems very outdated but I don't think that's a big problem for me. I will say I think the restaurant has changed its name to Thai Chapin.

    when we came the restaurant was pretty empty. inside was clean, a little hot but it was fine. service was great no complaints and the food was pretty good too, my favorite was the chilean sea bass

    Visiting from California to Austin and found this GEM of Thai food in the Area of Guadalupe. Food is amazing! Portions are generous and the place is extremely clean. Staff is very attentive and their prices are very affordable. I want to give this place a 5 stars! Definitely will recommend that you try this place!

    I ordered Uber Eats delivery from PD Thai this weekend and was pleasantly surprised! I got the chicken pad Thai and the shrimp spring roles, and my boyfriend ordered the panang. Everything was really tasty, and it arrived quickly! Service was great overall. Lots of options on the menu, so I hope to repeat order soon. I've got my eye on a few more dishes I want to try!

    We got food from here because none of us wanted to cook. My go to dish for Thai food is drunken noodles otherwise known as pad kee mao. I really liked how they had tomatoes and green beans in their dish and I also like that they didn't skimp out on the tofu. I did pay to add both extra tofu and veggies but I was happy with my meal. The veggies were still crispy and had a good crunch! We also got the edamame which honestly was a little overcooked but maybe it was just that day. I would suggest to not get the edamame but instead to stick to their entrees. I would definitely recommend this place to others and will go again to try other dishes! I do want to point out that secretly a tiny part of me believes that the store is actually called 'Pad Thai' and that maybe the 'A' fell off and they changed the name to 'P D Thai' because it's easier than fixing the sign? Idk it's just a theory but it seemed that way when I saw the sign outside!

    House Peanut Juice

    Came here for dinner on a Saturday evening, we were seated right away and about half the tables were open throughout our meal. It seems like more of their business is takeout, so I wouldn't worry about getting a table even on weekend evenings. The service was friendly, though a bit on the slower side, understandable given they had a lot of takeout orders going at the same time. I had the pad gra prao for my meal which was solid. Nothing to write home about, but was a good amount of food for the price. The star of my experience was the peanut juice. Weird drinks usually catch my eye on a menu and this was right up my alley. Much more of a peanut milk, it's blended up peanuts (there are some chunks at the bottom) in milk with cane sugar. It didn't taste overly sweet, if you're a peanut person this is a must try. Overall, it's a solid spot and worth trying for the peanut juice alone. There are stronger Thai options in the area, but if you find yourself in a situation like we were in, where Nori had too long a wait time and we didn't want to spend too much effort thinking of an alternative, this is a reasonable option right next door

    This is my go-to pad see eiw spot near campus! I love the food and the portions are amazing! The lady waitress is amazing and so nice, other guy waiter was weird about a valid coupon we had. Other than that very yummy!

    chicken pad see ew

    not a bad spot! open late and relatively good prices. we got chicken pad see ew and it was enough for two people to share. thai tea was a bit watered down but not too sweet.

    Chicken Pad Thai
    Christopher C.

    Pad Thai is pretty standard. It's what you would expect! There's no oddities, but I would love a bit more chicken and seasoning throughout. The shrimp egg rolls were warm, crispy, and decent as well. As for price, this place will not break the bank. Give it a try! Cheers

    Basil Fried Rice with Chicken
    Kelly C.

    We came here for a late night dinner and had a great time. We were the only ones there, but service was incredible. They checked up on us multiple times to make sure everything was good. The food came really fast, and the prices are very reasonable. Basil Fried Rice with Chicken: We got level 2 spiciness, and it had the perfect amount of kick for me. I really enjoyed this dish. The cucumber on the side was fresh and crunchy. Pad Thai with Beef: The sauce was really flavorful (on the sweet side). We also got level 2 spiciness for this dish. However, the beef was a bit dry, so I would recommend trying a different meat with it.

    After landing in San Antonio yesterday to kick off my summer vacation, the very first thing I did…read moretoday was ask my friend to bring me back to this restaurant. The reason is simple: we ate here two years ago, and it left such a great impression on us that we had been looking forward to coming back ever since. Fortunately, not much has changed in terms of either the quality or the overall presentation of the food. Everything is still delicious, especially the Pho Combo. To be honest, it's far better than most of the pho we've had in Germany. That doesn't mean the pho in Germany is bad--it simply means this place matches my personal taste much better. As for the downsides, they're almost exactly the same as before. Parking is still a major challenge, and I understand that's probably not something the restaurant can easily fix. We also tried calling ahead to reserve a table, but they don't take reservations, whether you're coming with a group of 5-7 people or just 2-3 people. We arrived at 6:45 PM and still had to wait about 40 minutes before being seated, which was honestly quite inconvenient. Coincidentally, there was live music tonight, which was a nice surprise. Unfortunately, the sound system wasn't very good, so it was difficult to hear what the singers were performing. Then again, this isn't really the type of venue where people come specifically to enjoy live music, so most diners didn't seem to pay much attention to it. One thing I did notice was that either the kitchen has made a few changes over the past two years, or perhaps my own taste has changed a little. The food felt slightly saltier than I remembered, and the pho broth was richer and creamier. While that added some depth of flavor, it was a bit too rich for my liking, to the point where finishing the entire bowl of broth felt a little overwhelming. The braised short ribs were incredibly tender--so tender that a knife was almost unnecessary, and they could easily be pulled apart with just a fork. While many people would probably see that as a positive, I actually missed the slightly firmer, meatier texture I remembered from my last visit. That said, these are relatively minor issues. The quality may have dipped just a little compared to our previous visit, but this is still an excellent restaurant. If they can fine-tune those small details, it would easily return to being one of my favorite places. There's a good chance we'll stop by one more time before heading back to Germany.

    Is it that time of year for another 1618 update? Absolutely…read more After my umpteenth visit, I think it's safe to say I've worked my way through almost the entire menu (minus a few noodle, chicken & vegetarian dishes). My 2025 review still stands, but after so many visits, I've noticed a few items haven't been good as they used to, particularly the chicken wings (and yes, all three of them). The Garlic Wings haven't been hitting quite the same. They've started to taste a little dry, and the saucier wings taste better the next day since they don't have time to steep through once served. The Filet Mignon Pepper Steak is still my favorite dish on the menu, but I still can't justify ordering it family-style anymore. It's delicious, but the portion just doesn't match the price. One of the newest additions--the Truffle Fried Rice is spectacular. It's light, not overpowering with truffle, and the fish eggs really adds the perfect little pop of texture/flavor. I don't think I breathed the entire time I scarfed it down!! 1618 is still one of my favorite restaurants in Austin of all time, but I think it's time for the menu to elevate a bit and dive deeper into less mainstream Asian cuisine. If anyone can do it, 1618 can.

Pad see ew with chicken - I liked their version and would probably get it again. Pad woon sen with pork - typically my favorite noodle dish and I think they did a good job. Garden roll - good but not as packed as others I've had, and at a higher price point. Pineapple fried rice with pork - I liked this but was a bit on the oily side.

It's also on the pricier side. Still, if in central Austin I think it's a solid choice for Thai food.
