Thai Cuisine is without a doubt in my top 3 casual restaurants I love to go to. This place is authentic, fresh, and igniting of the senses yet still affordable and casual. Let me cut to the chase on what I personally enjoy here though, cause there is a lot: Tom Yum and Tom Kha (spicy) soup are effing amazing. These soups will literally blow away your senses. I've never truly experienced lemongrass til I tried these dishes. They are exemplary dishes that show of the beauty of contrasting flavors in Thai Cuisine Gang Dang - Red Curry - Their red curry here is quite something. I can tell how fresh their vegetables are from this dish. A bite into the red pepers -- mmm -- divine. I usually ask for mine without pinapple though. Pad prik king - Green beans and spice. delicious! Pad Se Yue (with pork) This is noodle dish made with BIG FAT rice noodles and sweet/spicy kale. I love it for its simplicity and is oh so satisfying when I am ravenously hungry Go Go Go to the lunch buffet. Its a freaking amazing deal I don't know how they make money off of it. Basically, you get a buffet and 1 entry for a very affordable price. I strongly recommend Fridays as their selection changes every day of the buffet. Their Thai iced teas are an excellent treat. Its basically a red tea mixed with cream/evaporated milk. Be careful at lunch time if you specifically want a curry, their curry selection at lunch time changes every week day (as of writing this): Mon & Sat: Kang Dang (Red Curry) Spicy Red Curry, Coconut Milk, Bamboo Shoots, Pineapples, Tomatoes, Bell Peppers and Sweet Basil. Tue & Sun: Kang Keow Warn (Green Curry) Spicy Green Curry, Coconut Milk, Bamboo Shoots, Eggplants, Bell Peppers, Kefir Leaves and Sweet Basil. Wed: Kang Karee (Yellow Curry) Yellow Curry, Coconut Milk, Potatoes, Carrots, Garnished with Fried Onions and Served with Cucumber Salad. Thurs: Kang Panang (Panang Curry) Creamy Panang Curry, Coconut Milk, Bell Peppers and Kefir Leaves. Fri: Kang Mus-Sa-Mun (Mus-Sa-Mun Curry) Mus-Sa-Mun Curry, Coconut Milk, Peanuts and Potatoes. They have an excellent happy hour! Generally their appetizers kinda suck, but during happy hour they have this appetizer called a "golden bag". A perfect snack to end the day. This place has the most amazing GREEN CURRY i've ever tasted. Seriously, green curry is something every other thai restaurant i've been to has screwed up royally. I love the way they do it because not only do they make it spicy, they retain the vegetably taste green curry is supposed to have. This place has a semi-romantic non-formal atmosphere and is a great place to escape to with a significant other in the evenings without the bustle of other more popular restaurants. This place is great to take people for lunch. I've personally gone here with 15+ coworkers and they've been able to seat us. Though, please keep in mind they are extremely busy at this time of day and it really takes a long time to get out if you all split the checks. I recommend pork to be eaten with the dishes as the meat option. Pork is more of a traditional Asian meat and it'll go together with the dishes much better than the American favorite beef. read more

Thai Cuisine - A semiromantic atmosphere with neon lights, passionate colors, and open. A big screen TV is fun to watch at lunch. - Thai Near Me - Austin, Texas

After seeing such reviews we went with very high expectation but such a disappointment.restaurant is small,nice,workers are sweet with welcoming smile and didn't take longer for our order. Disappointed with food quality.we had Tom yum soup which was not that good,chicken satay was so so with very sweet sauce aside.I did not like their main course at all. I had pad thai which had a weird yucky smell and ginger chicken which was too watery. Don't know how they got such good review.we have a Groupon which we could not able to use today,so we have to visit again.hope to have something better on our next visit. read more

We really enjoyed our dinner here!! We had shrimp spring rolls served with peanut sauce as an appetizer. The rolls were delicious and fresh and the peanut sauce was amazing! My boyfriend ordered chicken pad thai and I ordered shrimp pad kee mao. We were both extremely pleased with our meals. They came out steaming hot and both dishes were delicious!! And the portions were very big, I have half leftover for lunch today!! Also I was extremely pleased that they put a lot of nice large shrimp in my dish. One of my biggest pet peeves is when you pay extra for shrimp and they skimp, but here I had plenty!! And they were very big!! Like I said, we really enjoyed our dinner here!! This place is conveniently located for us too so I know we will be back in soon or ordering for take out!! read more

Food: 4/5 Bonus points because that pineapple fried rice dish is so good (it's got pineapples, cashews, and raisins). I've had the crispy spicy duck and some of the curries. The meat might be a little tough at times, but the flavors are good and so are the portion sizes (usually can take some home). At lunchtime they have a wondrous soup and salad bar that's all you can eat! The portions are smaller though, but the same price. I prefer dinner, but I know that's not the case for everyone. Service: 3/5 Polite, and attentive. They don't make much conversation, but they're efficient and always smiling Atmosphere: 3/5 Bustling little restaurant. Not much to report. Cute little aesthetic with the wooden furniture and glass on table mat tabletops. Bathrooms: 3/5 Pretty average. Maintained a little better than some other Asian places Price: 3/5 You'll pay 9-12 for a meal, depending on what you get. This price point is a little more stomachable because of the large portions. Love coming back here, will be back again! read more

Thai Cuisine has some of best Thai food I've ever eaten. It was fresh and well prepared. The service was great! Highly recommend!

We love this restaurant! Lunch is awesome: it's around $10 a plate and includes an all you can eat buffet of delicious soups, spring rolls, rangoons and more. It's a great deal! One of the soups they had today was very similar to Tom Yum soup; my favorite! We had the pad Thai and the red curry. Both were tasty, but I definitely prefer their green curry. Dinner is excellent as well, but no free buffet for dinner. Definitely give this restaurant a try! read more

The food here is delicious, and entrees come with unlimited visits to an appetizer/soup/dessert bar. Huge portions, friendly and very reasonably priced. It was crowded and noisy inside at lunch, so we ate at one of the few patio tables outside. read more

Decent prices and some of the best yellow thai curry I've had ever.... what else do you need to know??!! Also on Wednesday lunch you get all you can eat tempura veggies. Win!!!! read more

One of our favorite restaurants. Great take out in these crazy times. We hope to see you back soon read more

The first time we went here, we made the mistake of ordering the stuff "medium spicy." OMgeez! I eat spicy all the time, but this shiz was making our lips burn and we were sweating like nobody's business. So, on our return trip, we asked for mild spicy and it was just the right amount of spicy (I didn't have to pull a Goldilock's and try 3x). Their pad thai is the right texture but I think it would be better if they automatically add tofu + whatever protein you order. I think their pad thai can veer on the sweet side, but not enough to where I wouldn't eat it. We also like their spicy seafood stirfry. For $11 you get mussels, shrimp, scallops, and green beans. Yum! I wish the tom yum soup had straw mushrooms instead of button mushrooms, but the broth is good. Service is nice and if you keep your eyes peeled, they have coupons in the mailer for the north/nw neighborhood. read more

Many visits have gone by and it's time to update my Thai Cuisine review! Obviously I've been back, a lot. I haven't had better Pad Thai in Austin, so I usually can't help myself from getting it. Sometimes I can convince my other half to split red curry & pad thai and I'm in heaven!!! I haven't branched out much more than that, even though everything I see coming out of kitchen looks amazing. The red curry & pad thai are just so good! I like chicken with mine, but that's up to you. I've also had spring rolls, which are good, and Tom kha which is great! I'm pretty sure this is one of the best Thai spots in Austin, if it's just for its stellar job at getting the basic Thai dishes perfected. The only reason it's 4 stars from me is they seem a little big for their britches! My server had tables all over the restaurant and was taking to go orders. I had to get up and ask him for the check, which has sadly happened more than once here. They are just really busy and need more staff. It's too bad about the service sometimes, but I'll be back because it's just that good! read more

There is a complimentary appetizers bar that has soup and salad among other things. I tried the chicken potato soup (pretty good) and the vegetable tempura (onion rings and mushrooms, slightly crispy, but not hot - barely warm). What I really liked though, were the egg rolls and the spring rolls. Lucky for me, the egg rolls were freshly fried, so they were hot and crispy! For the main course, I had the Pad Thai with beef, "madly hot". The waitress even asked me if I was sure I wanted madly hot... Uh, yes :) When I finally dug in, I wouldn't rate it as madly, but it was still decently strong. Taste wise, not the best I've had, but still good. Personally not a big fan of the bean sprouts - I'll have to remember to ask for no sprouts next time. Overall, I enjoyed my meal, and I'm glad I tried this place. It's a good deal too, thanks to the portion sizes and the unlimited appetizers bar. It's a little out of the way for me though, so I'm unsure if I'd come back, at least regularly. read more

I tried many times in this restaurant for takeout and never got disappointment with the quality of the food. But they do poor service while taking order on the phone. They do mistakes in understanding the order, so we need to be very careful and make sure they got the right order. The person who take the order never accept mistakes and she blame on the customer. Also I feel she is very rude in her behavior. I would recommend the management to educate her to change her attitude or to replace with some else if that didn't work. I would have rated 5 stars, but due to the poor service, I give 3 read more

I have been craving Tom Yum soup for months and was so excited to see it on the menu! I also ordered the Egg Rolls, Pad Thai and Emerald fried rice. EVERY dish was so flavorful and delicious. I love that they have options for how spicy you want your dishes and they actually listen! Thai cuisine is now my go to for Thai food! read more

It's in front of cool river, next to a Japanese restaurant. The menu is like other Thai restaurant. I ordered satay chicken as appetizer. Somehow they brought me a wrong dish. Because of that, I waited even longer to get my appetizer. I ordered two entrees. Pad Thai and Mussamun Curry. Pad Thai is OK. Mussamun Curry tastes much better. Both dishes portions are big. A little bit more expensive than other Thai restaurant too. read more

We entered the busy restaurant... and waited... and waited... and waited... we were finally seated by the lunch salad buffet. This would be quite a good perk if they could keep the buffet stocked! The spring rolls with peanut sauce were great... but they kept running out of veggie tempura (I got one mushroom and one sweet potato, then they started making just onions and potato... ) and the pan fried dumpling, which was replaced with fried spring rolls. The fried spring rolls and sauce were good, as was the tempura and the sauce, but I wish they could have had the dumplings as well and kept a constant supply of the good fried veggies... and it just took them too long to replenish. The kiddos loved their chicken fried rice, and hubby liked his "special dish", teriyaki shrimp with noodles. I was disappointed that they didn't have red curry, it's a special that they only have on Sat & Mon. So I got the Spicy Kra Prow (Hot Basil) (Sauteed fresh ground chilies, garlic, onions, bell peppers, green beans, and basil) with beef. It was ok... way too dry. The beef was overcooked and there was barely any sauce. I had to douse my meal in soysauce to compensate for the lack of sauce. It also wasn't very spicy to me... I had to add hot sauce to it. Overall a decent meal, and the kids really enjoyed theirs, but I will probably try some other Thai restaurants before I come back to Thai Cuisine. read more

This is my go-to Thai spot. My favorite time is the weekend lunches when they have a salad, soup, and appetizer bar. The service is always impeccable. The food is consistent and outstanding Thai. I've had the spicy pork (dinner), assorted curries, and the pad kee mao. I thoroughly enjoy all of them and often struggle to pick between them. I've eaten at many Thai restaurants in Austin and this is by far my favorite and the best. A close second is Muang Thai for their Tom Kha and the flaming fried ice cream. read more

Firstly, my gf and I love Thai food. After moving to Austin from the west coast we needed to find a new go-to spot. After trying a few restaurants, Thai Cuisine quickly rose to the top. Here's the low-down... We usually order 1-2x/week from them. So far, we have no major complaints after trying our regular go-to favs: curries, noodles, papaya salad, and spring / egg rolls. Only one dish (advertised loosely as a "garlic heavy" dish) was not to my liking but I chalk it up to personal preference. Here's why we keep coming back to this spot... Great portions. Very flavorful. Very consistent on execution. For heat aficionados, they do not skimp on the spice level...POW! They take care of their customers too... More recently, we had a little stay-in dinner + movie date planned but our delivery order got messed up. Understandably, it was a name mix up. It was a nightmare dealing with the delivery app (think soulless automated bot customer bip-bap-boop "support" and no immediate resolution to our predicament). Thankfully, the restaurant owner sympathized with our situation and stepped up to the plate (no pun intended) and made everything right. That's why we support small businesses. They listen. They care. Do your flavor buds a favor, check these guys out. read more

Went here for dinner and order the Tom Yum soup. It by far was the worse experience I've ever had with this food. The soups itself looked like it was scooped out of the toilet and placed in a pot. The brackish water based soup only had chicken. They didn't serve it with any of the vegetables. When talking with the owner / manager, he stated I didn't ask for the vegetables. He took it in the back and added the mushrooms, tomatoes, onions and cilantro. I paid for the meal and walked out. This is my second experience with Asian cuisine in Austin. I honestly believe these owners don't care about serving a good meal and take advantage of its customers. read more

Amazing food and service. For the price you pay plus unlimited soup and salad, I'll definitely be back. I had the pad thai and it was super delicious. No dry or too sweet. My kind of liking!! Our server was super sweet and patient. I really like the atmosphere as well as the location is not too bad. Will return for more!!!! read more

Rude staff taking my to go order even though I asked for a minute because I was still reading menu Staff rolling eyes, speaking purposeful low voice and telling me "look lady" was rude and made you loose a new and potential regular customer. read more

Meh. Is all I can say about this place. Had the tofu pad Thai. Tofu was good but pad Thai was very dry. Noodles barely had any sauce. My friend had the basil fried rice and it was also meh. Good flavor but I didn't get the cucumbers and broccoli added. Could be better. read more

Thai Cuisine - Basil Fried Rice - Thai Near Me - Austin, Texas

Wanted to try it out - To go style. Called them at 9:20 to see if they were opened & they said, "No, we close at 9:30." I asked if they'd let me order take-out if I could be there in ten minutes (thinking they probably had a customer or two in there anyway). She relied, "No, they already cleaning kitchen." I can understand kind of, but not REALLY! Giving it 1 star for closing early. Sorry Charlie, I will update my review after I try your food. read more

Really good food and amazing customer service!!!!!!!!Top favorite for Thai food!!!!!!

This place is super packed during lunch and its easy to see why. Huge lunch menu options and all you can eat appetizer bar. I really really liked the soups they have, the fried dumplings, the spring rolls, tempura (and some salad) too. I got full before my food even came. I got a pad see ew with beef, which was actually so so - significantly sweeter than other pad see ews I've had and the beef not as tender, but lots of noodles if that's your thing. Easily need a to go box after eating that many appetizers :D Wait staff is nice too. Bit loud but I would definitely swing by for lunch again! read more

I don't know about you, but I love Thai food! I actually went to Thai Cuisine for my birthday and it was really good! I went during lunch and the salad bar was fresh and refilled frequently. I got the vermicelli noodles with pork and it was pretty refreshing. I also got the Pad Thai-#1 it was super savory and delicious. I also LOVE Thai Tea and their Thai tea was amazing. My waiter was super nice also! It gets busy during lunch time so I would reserve or try to get there a tiny bit earlier to get a seat! Otherwise, cute atmosphere, good food and good people. :) read more

This is one of the go-to thai places in Austin for me. It's not the best thai I've had, but it's one of the better places to go in Austin. It's a really good deal to go for lunch because it comes with an appetizer buffet. The buffet isn't super big, but the spring rolls are always good and they have different types of soup as well! The Pad Thai is pretty good and so are the curries. The last time I tried the Pad See Ewe, I was a little disappointed. Service can be pretty bad when they are busy. They have all these servers, but only one or two of them ever seem to actually be running around. read more

Thai Cuisine - Thai iced coffee mmmm - Thai Near Me - Austin, Texas

Here's the deal with these folks: Potentially long waits during busy times (just to get seated, while you hover awkwardly by the front door), but good service once you're able to occupy a table or booth. Food is quite delicious. I'm not an expert in Thai dishes, but the taste is light (not too greasy) and appealing to me. My recommendation is to go at a slightly off time, get the Thai iced tea, and try one of the tasty dishes with fried tofu. read more

Thai Cuisine - Pad Thai, hot Thai tea! - Thai Near Me - Austin, Texas

So yummy, never disappoints and is super convenient to my apartment. Big menu with lots of options.

Used to love this place until I went last night and while waiting for my to-go order to be completed, I had the unfortunate privilege of watching a member of the food prep staff sneeze--no mask on whatsover--without covering his face while standing pretty much in the middle of the food prep area. I immediately left the restaurant, not even bothering to ask for a refund, figuring I'd just take the issue up with my credit card company rather than risk exposing myself to Covid because a cook can't be bothered to put a face mask on during a goddamn pandemic. I keep seeing the dude in my head wiping his face off post-sneeze with his bare hands before going back to touching items in the kitchen; I'm sorry, but there's no going back there after that. read more

Decent food. Nothing special. The service was good and it's awesome they serve beer and wine. If you detest celery like we do, you won't hate the fresh spring rolls. We tried them hoping we wouldn't taste the celery and there was hardly a hint of it after dousing the rolls in peanut sauce. We ordered the a Pad Kee Mao and pineapple rice. I can tolerate a lot of spice. However, their 'medium hot' seemed more 'blazing ass hot' to me so I was disappointed that my tastebuds were on fire and I couldn't really get a feel for the flavor of the dish. Wasn't overly excited that the pineapple rice had curry in it either. Singha beer was awesome. Decent food. Just not my favorite. read more

Still in love with Thai food. I eat here almost once a week. Not crazy about the new plastic dishes, though. They seem smaller. Am I getting the same amount of entree? Hmmm? It won't keep me away, but I prefer a real plate. read more

Delicious Thai food, highly recommend their panang curry. Their appetizer sampler also demonstrates that all of their appetizers are delicious as well. The service is transparent, so don't expect issues there. The ambiance is comfortable, but it's not a big restaurant so be aware if you're trying to go on a busy night read more

Mmmmmmmmm I'm always impressed with Thai Cuisine by their service, food quality, and selection. We've been coming here for over five years and I still find new dishes to try. The most impressive thing they offer is the daily lunch menu that includes soup and salad buffet. They offer lunch portions of many of their entrees and the salad bar has daily rotating soups, spring rolls, rangoons, and tons of fresh veggies alongside their deliciously thick peanut sauce. The chicken and veggie soup is so good and I usually end up getting 2-3 cups of it and taking the entree for leftovers! My favorite entrees are the green curry fried rice, red curry with pineapple, pad kra prow, larb, pad Thai, and the tom yum. They are speedy with the service and takeout. The staff is always friendly and helpful when it comes to choosing. The menu is very well laid out and shows substitutions and additions. I like that they offer brown rice and seafood mix for entrees. read more

Usually super great, hot takeout. Great portion size, food quality and the pad Thai isn't too sweet. The pad kee mao was "medium spicy" on the menu but regrettably, less spicy than my husband's mild pad Thai and pretty much flavorless. I'd go somewhere else for drunken noodles. read more

Love Thai Cuisine! Everything I get here is always so good. Pad Kee Mao and the basil fried rice are full of flavor.

The food arrived early and was spicy as I requested. I ordered Basil Fried Rice and it was very very good. I also had the yellow curry and it was excellent. Very good sized portions allowed for leftovers next day. Beautiful. Bad: they forgot my thi iced tea and were not enthusiastic when I called about it. Also note that Delivery is not free as I was led to believe on line. It was only 8 minutes driving. and they have a Covid up-charge as well. Website automatically sets up 20% gratuity, I'm not sure what for. 5 star is hard to get from me. So this should be 4.5 stars. Might have got 5 if hadn't copped an attitude about the thai iced tea. ‍ read more

3.5/5 Came here for dinner on a Friday night and we were able to get seated right away. Since moving to Austin, I have yet to find a Thai place that makes me want to come back for more. The menu has a good variety of selections and we settled on: -Thai tea (2/5): much sweeter than I typically like it. -Coconut shrimp appetizer (3.5/5): this was actually really tasty! The dipping sauce that came with it has a nice kick to it, but the shrimp was kind of on the small size, especially for the price they charge for this. -Massaman curry (3/5): this is a curry I typical order and I was impressed with how flavorful this was. HOWEVER, the potatoes and carrots that came with the curry were not fully cooked, and not cut well either. We literally had half a spud in our curry and huge chunks of carrots that were difficult to eat. The flavor was great, but execution needs some improvement. -Pad Kee Mao (4/5): Another favorite dish I typically order at Thai restaurants, and theirs was pretty good. This definitely has a kick to it, but good flavor. I wish they let you pick the spiciness level of this dish because this was a little Overall, not a bad option for thai food. Just some things I wish were better. 1) I wish you could pick the spiciness level on their dishes. Most thai restaurants allow you to choose, so I was surprised that this place didn't. 2) Better execution for their dishes. Finding half a potato and giant carrot chunks in your curry that aren't fully cook is not really appetizing. read more

Came in today for dinner with my kids, took them forever to get our drink order once we ordered our food it took 20 mins for the cheese roll came out. The cheese was black & had sour smell, I should've left then but no we stuck around! Another 20 mins past one of 5 entree finally came. Then another 15 mins past my Thai cuisine special beef salad finally arrived that shit was burnt & nasty. Another 10 mins pass our waitress finally came back with our rice that was supposed to go with my salad, Jesus my husband got so mad & just walked out. So I pay for whatever we had & left, The restaurant wasn't even pack nobody ever came by to check on us or update us on how much longer before the food came out. Services suck! Food is poor quality, It used to be my favorite place but never stepping my foot here again. read more
