This was on lunchdrop on my job yesterday and I'm a huge fan of Thai food! Tried the chicken pad Thai spice level 3 and chicken green curry spice level 5. The Pad Thai was good! It wasn't the best I've ever had, but definitely not the worst. It was not very spicy for a 3. The Green Curry was super flavorful! It had peppers, Japanese eggplant, kefir lime leaves, potatoes, and nice chunks of chicken. It was not as spicy as I wanted with a level 5. I prefer my curry to make me sweat. Got some sniffles, so definitely some spice! Overall, I'd definitely return and try more items on the menu! read more

Tried this spot for the first time tnight and we enjoyed it! We ordered: 1. Golden Curry Noodles - don't usually see this on menus so thought I'd try it and I enjoyed it! Blend of curry and noodles 2. Street fried rice - very flavorful! Enjoyed this as well 3. Khao Soi (forgot to take pic) - this wasn't a standard one I'm use to but still very tasty! Good portion sizes. Great server. Small cute little spot to enjoy some good Thai flavors! read more

I've ordered takeout from this spot a couple of times, and it is soo good y'all! I love supporting a local business, and Rose's Kitchen makes it easy. I've never visited Rose's o.g. location on Manchaca and had never heard of it before seeing their location open on Slaughter, but it is quickly becoming one of my favorite Thai spots in Austin. I've ordered their chicken and pork satays, Pad Thai, Rose's Roti, and the Thai Yellow Curry, all with a spice level of "2". Their Pad Thai is crafted with a house sauce that stands out from other Pad Thais I've tried in Austin. The chicken and pork satays were perfectly cooked and not dry or tough, and the accompanying peanut sauce is so good it makes me want to dump it on everything. I think the pork satay has slightly more of a savory, complex flavor than the chicken. Rose's yellow curry is coco-nutty and creamy , and the roti is a buttery, crispy must-try. The employees I've interacted with are friendly, and it is easy to find parking in the strip mall where Rose's Kitchen is located. Thankful to have such a good Thai restaurant in far south Austin. read more

Given the popularity of Rose's Kitchen and the limited options of Asian restaurants in South Austin, I decided to give their newest location on East Slaughter a shot. My first experience with the original Rose's Kitchen on Manchaca was unfortunately lackluster. But, maybe they could redeem themselves at this location... While the servingware has upgraded from plastic, unfortunately, the food still doesn't wow me as the rest of the area. I revisited the Papaya Salad and tried the Chicken Satay for the first time--both were major disappointments. The Papaya Salad remains inedible and really should be taken off the menu. As for the Chicken Satay, the peanut sauce was a pleasant surprise keeping its traditional flavor, but the chicken itself was dry and overcooked. This was the last straw for me. I won't be returning--this time for good. read more

I was disappointed with the flavors. First time checking this Thai restaurant out and ordered a couple dishes such as yellow curry and pad see ew. I've had Thai food at different restaurants before and the food here really tasted just ok. They are not as aromatic and flavorful as dishes I'm used to. I do like the decor on the counter and tables though. read more

One of my favorite Thai takeout places in Austin - this sweet couple that owns Rose's can't be beat! Home grown recipes, and such good service. And the food is always great!! I haven't found something that I don't like yet here. Pad Thai, Green Curry, Fried Rice, Thai Tea - all great!! read more

It was great food was good service was quick! Location is a little off but it is what it is!

I have ordered from here twice in two weeks. I was blown away by the food! The waitress Yessica was super sweet and helpful when I asked for suggestions! The restaurant is small but super clean and the staff is efficient . I've ordered the Pad Thai and pad see ew and both were really good--they are serious about the spice level so do be honest with yourself when picking your number lol I was surprised most by the chicken wings we got Thai style and they were so crispy but not breaded --obsessed . Highly recommend this spot! read more

Truly surprised at all the glowing reviews. My experience ordering takeout from here was horrible. I ordered the roti curry with extra roti. The roti was so inedibly greasy. It straight up tasted like reheated super frozen roti you get at the grocery story... the yellow curry was horrible. It was literally just yellow liquid. No flavor and absolutely no veggies were in it... The worst of all was it was incredibly expensive for what it was. $15 since I had asked for two extra rotis. read more

I recently discovered Rose's Kitchen and know I'll be a repeat customer. The chicken fried rice is to die for! I also tried the drunken noodles which aren't always my favorite. I was impressed by the flavor profile and perfect blend of textures. read more

Rose's Kitchen is such a welcome addition to the foodscape in Southeast Austin. Every accolade you've read is well deserved. Drunken noodles cranked up to +5 spice are amazing. The street fried rice offerings are a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. The Brussel sprouts, wings, satay, and rolls are all excellent appetizers. I cannot wait to try the rest of the menu. The location itself is small but cozy and nicely decorated--the perfect spot for a quick lunch. Along with the great food, the service is also great. From the wait staff to the checkout staff, to the cooking staff - everyone I've dealt with has been helpful and friendly. Great food, great service, great location, fair prices = easy recommendation. read more

Great Bento Box Lunch Special: What a pleasant surprise to find this little blink-and-you'll-miss-it spot. In fact, you can't see it from the road, just a name flag at the hidden driveway. Bento served as pictured, all other items were in foul lined paper boats. All three of us were quite pleased with our lunch, in this sweet converted house. Great service, great price, great food. A+ We went back the very next week! read more

Thai food are good and plenty of healthy food. Fast and easy to prepare meals. Servers are also great. Many statues of elephants are on shelves and counter. Interesting place near shopping center in east side of i35. read more

I really wanted to give this place a fair chance, but unfortunately the experience was disappointing. When ordering, I asked if the "beef" option was just the steak and clarified that it was the $3 add-on. The server, Hunter I believed responded by saying, "The beef is the pork," which immediately confused us because those are obviously two different meats. We were trying to understand the menu wording, not the definition of meat. As we expressed confusion and asked again to clarify what he meant, he then spoke to us in a loud, slow tone and said, "Beef is cow and pork is pig." That comment felt completely unnecessary and condescending, especially since the confusion stemmed from how he initially explained it. We weren't confused about what beef or pork are -- we were trying to understand the menu. It set an uncomfortable tone for the rest of the meal. Later, when asked about spice level, we said medium. After the food arrived, he told us he put the spice level at zero because the dish is "spicy on its own." It wasn't spicy at all for us. When we asked for spice, he brought out a bowl and said it can always be added after. Anyone who cooks knows adding spice afterward is not the same as cooking it into the dish from the beginning. It made us question why we were asked our preference in the first place. On top of that, there was a noticeable bathroom odor throughout the restaurant. Looking back, that probably should have been our sign to leave, but we wanted to give the place a shot. Unfortunately, the food did not make up for the poor customer service and overall experience. read more

I used to think this was an awesome place! I ordered with DoorDash for the 2nd time i did not get what I ordered!! This time I called and told them what I did not get and I never received a response back, even though I spoke w a human. So once again, I'm paying for food I did not receive I'm SO very disappointed because I really loved their food!!! I will no longer recommend to ANYONE!!! read more

OWMG this Thai place is dope as shit. It was really good. I would come back here anytime I am down in this area. I had the drunken noodles and it was incredible. read more

First time trying the place near our home. The space is intimate but well maintained and clean The staff is warm. Food is delicious and well seasoned! We ordered The crab fried rice and Panang Curry with Beef (#2 Spice Level). Rice was flavorful and the curry was the right spice for us. Will definitely go back. read more

Easy to park easy to see the lid up open. Walk in and a lady will come see you and will ask you if you'd like to order or sit down for dining. I said I will look at the menu to go and the I did a stirfry vegetables extra vegetables with substitute vermicelli noodle instead of rice for a veggie dish With brown sauce. Now the tables have a lot of dust on them from the elephants are sitting on top of them because they're wooden to go area I feel that needs improvement because it's hard to lift everything up and trying to find something that in fact, they were missing to go lids for the containers that they were providing . I did not like the water that they have the tapwater it needs to be better filtered. I feel that the menu needs to improve for vegans because there's not a lot of options and the language barrier was there for me placing an order trying to explain a shape of a noodle for two minutes straight should not be happening.. I seen the cooks. They were Hispanic. One man has put his hands inside his mouth while he was trying to open the front door and the same hand opened the front door and when he took his hand out of his mouth as he was coming from the outside inside the restaurant. Now this is the same man that went back into the kitchen and started cooking the food. I seen a man taking the vermicelli noodle with his hand, taking some out and showing it to his coworker like it's a game and then putting it back into the strainer with his hand and putting it on the stove to cook the noodles from the boiling point onto the container to go, I did not like that because it was very unsanitary for him to do that and play with the food that was already paid for. Some areas I feel that the training of the staff needs to happen and how to respect the people who are ordering the food. I ended up not being able to eat the food because with the misunderstanding of the lady in the language bird that she had and the cooks that placed my food on the hot stove played with it with Disrespect, I feel that this place needs a visit in a facelift of training the staff to the point where they need to wash their hands and not pick their nose as they're opening the front door or putting their hands in their mouth as I have seen. The go containers are Styrofoam and very cheap plastic so where to go I feel that they need to improve that too and they do have chopsticks wooden. read more

This restaurant has the best Pad Thai I have every had! One of my favorite restaurants

I went with a friend on a beautiful afternoon and we sat outside at a picnic table. My friend ordered the Pad Thai lunch special, which included soup, a spring roll and an orange slice. I ordered shrimp spring rolls to start and the veggie delight as my entree, both of which were excellent. Great flavor. Spice level 3. I could've used a little more heat, but I'll definitely be back and order accordingly next time. If Rose's was closer to me, I would eat there everyday, and I'm not exaggerating. read more

This is my go to spot. They are a very small place so I tend to order to go a lot. They are so incredibly kind. Every staff member is attentive and makes me feel welcomed. I never wait more than 15 minutes for my order, and it is made consistently each time. The only time I waited longer was Christmas Day and I understood that they had quite a few orders to get through since they were one of the few places open. The young lady working the register apologized multiple times which was so kind, but not needed since I could visibly see their kitchen working their tails off. I've been here enough times I felt it was necessary to leave a review. read more

Tried Rose's Kitchen and it's some of the best Thai food in South Austin! We had such a wonderful experience! The owner, Mike, was warm and welcoming; he even shared a bit about his connection to Thailand, which added a personal and authentic touch to our visit. We ordered the Basil Fried Rice, Pad Thai, and the Green Curry. The Green Curry was absolutely delicious - rich, flavorful, and you could tell they use high-quality coconut milk. I had a few dishes with tofu, and Mike thoughtfully asked if we were vegan or had any dietary restrictions, letting us know they're happy to accommodate if we had dietary restrictions. Highly recommend this spot! We'll definitely be back. read more

Visiting from Dallas and delighted that the meals here are so good! I tried the spicy edamame and pad kee mow. The noodles are perfectly cooked - perfect texture - and the green beans still slightly crunchy. All ingredients including holy basil were extra fresh. My dinner companion had an excellent spicy seafood soup. This place is great! read more

Definitely don't get the yellow curry. It's a scam. The curry was straight up liquid and it only had 2 carrots and 5 small pieces of chicken in it. No potatoes, which they literally mention in the item description. I'm actually in shock with how lousy it was. It's literally a scam!! Do better read more

Great service but best bento box you'll ever find. Support these fine folks. This food deserves to be served for the foreseeable future read more

I tried this quaint little Thai restaurant per the recommendation of a friend and I was not disappointed. A very nice and friendly waiter named Kayden explain to us the spiciness levels and was very attentive. My friends and I ordered the chicken dumplings and brussels sprouts for appetizers. Both were amazingly delicious. My friends ordered the chicken pad Thai and I ordered the red curry with chicken. I am a fan of Thai food and I will definitely be coming here again. The entrées were very delicious as well. You can order takeout here as well. read more

If you've been to Austin and haven't been here before, then why did you even go?! Rose's Kitchen has not only the nicest owners and staff imaginable, but the food is FANTASTIC. I had the wings and spicy noodles. It was so good, I went back 4x. I burned a hole in my hotel toilet. WORTH IT. read more

Awesome , just had the Shrimp Pad Thai and it was so yummy and cooked to perfection, best I've had in years

I love the original location and glad this new location is a bit closer to us. Pad Thai and basil rice are amazingly tasty! The only downfall was Roti was not very good at all. Very watery. read more

Finally a Thai restaurant in the area. We have been here a few times now and every meal has been wonderful. The service is friendly and super fast. I highly recommend trying Rose's. read more

Server was friendly. Food was greasy and generally "off". Would recommend passing on this one if you are looking for Thai food in south Austin. read more

We got take out from this location and the food was great! Red Curry chicken, green curry shrimp and Thai fried rice were delicious.

This food is hands down the best Thai food ever!!! I will always be hitting this spot when I'm back in Austin!!

The food is great. They are obviously still working out some of the kinks as a brand new restaurant, but that is to be expected. No concerns there. The waitress who was working Saturday evening Feb 1, 2025 needed a serious attitude adjustment. Cranky and almost rude. Never saw her smile once. Maybe she was having a bad day, but don't take it to work. I've eaten at Rose's before and the service was great. We will definitely go back, but Ms. Waitress needs a reminder that she's in the service industry, and that requires an occasional smile. read more
