Always pass by this food truck driving down Manor and am glad I finally got to try it! Service was decent - it's family-owned and just one person was working the truck when we visited, so it took a while to get our food (there was one person ahead of us who had ordered a bunch of dishes to-go). There are a couple tables/benches outside with overhead umbrellas, which actually came in super handy because it randomly started pouring while we were still waiting. Pad Kee Mao (4.5/5) - Came out fresh and piping hot! The beef was really tender but it was just a tad too spicy for me (I got a 3 out of 5 in terms of spice level). Next time if I got this dish again, I would go down on the spice so that I could enjoy more of the flavor. Still really tasty though! Overall would recommend if you're craving yummy Thai food at an affordable price! Just be prepared that there might be a wait. read more

Solid thai food from friendly staff at a nice food truck setting. The location is very convenient, right on manor road. We ordered 3-4 dishes and it took about 20 mins or so to be prepared which i thought was reasonable. The food had good flavor and the portions were solid. I quite liked the dishes we ordered, the green curry was very solid with a nice balanced flavor. The pad see eaw was just okay, a bit of a weird flavor to me. I will say that it wasn't as spicy as I was expecting, so I would recommend ordering a higher spice level than you normally would if you like spicy food. Solid overall but didn't blow me away. read more

I'm hesitant to bring this up, especially since this is a family-owned business, but I've noticed the ingredient proportions seem quite unbalanced. There's a lot of noodles or carbs, but very little of the toppings like vegetables, tofu, or meat. It is super spicy as they are using actual thai chillies. tho the flavor is 3/5 with the amount of veggies and tofu/meat i got I probably wont come back for drunken noodle. not sure abt other dishes read more

It's behind the building in the corner. There are plenty of seats in the shade. The wait is not bad. We really enjoyed our meals from here. I ordered the mildly spicy green curry with chicken. This was more substantial than expected. It came with a generous portion of Jasmine rice. We had a hard time deciding what to get because everything on the menu sounded amazing, so we plan on coming back to try everything. read more

Thai Thani is an excellent food truck located on Manor Road and certainly not to be missed if you're in the area! I've been coming here for almost four years and have yet to be disappointed. The portions have definitely gotten smaller over the years, but they're still pretty generous, so this isn't a huge problem. I also love how personable the staff are. I don't go super often, but when I do, they remember me and already know my order. Everyone is extremely friendly and work quickly. There are a few picnic tables out front, but I think for the most part everyone does take away from here. The food is delicious, so you may as well enjoy it in a comfortable atmosphere! read more

Picture might not do it justice... but I NEED y'all to know- this truly might be some of the best Thai I've ever had. The Green Curry was one of the most delicious curries, with a spice level that rises at first and then plateaus, complimenting the meal perfectly. It also stays piping hot so it's great to eat there or to-go! $12 for a really good serving, I ended up having leftovers and ate twice! Seriously, cannot recommend this place enough. read more

There were no prices on the menu, which is really exciting because I love surprises. The surprise was that the price is similar to what you'd get at a sit-down restaurant, and the quality was definitely not comparable. The parking lot was extremely small and tight, and there were only two tables next to the food truck. I had the drunken noodles and they were not good. They were somehow spicy but without any flavour. read more

TLDR: very generous portions, especially for the prices in austin, but not anything id go out of my way to eat again things we ordered: - basil beef - drunken noodle - cashew chicken - pad thai chicken - pad thai beef - spicy chicken wings one good thing is that the portion sizes are very generous (pad thai chicken fed me for 2.5 meals)! basil beef- 3.5/5 the basil beef was alright. it was a bit watery, and the rice to meat ratio wasn't the best, but the taste was still not bad. drunken noodle- 4.5/5 my dad asked for level 5 spiciness and it made it really good! he did say next time he recommends a 3-4 lvl bc he had many trips to the restroom after that! overall, though, the drunken noodle was really yummy with a good variety of veggies to balance out the overall dish. cashew chicken- 3/5 the cashew chicken wasn't very spectacular either. it did not have much distinctive flavor. pad thai chicken- 3/5 i didn't find that the pad thai was spectacular at all. the noodles were mostly stuck together in large clumps and were pretty mid in taste. pad thai beef- 3.5/5 the beef tasted pretty good in this pad thai, hence the additional 0.5 pt, but overall, the pad thai noodles were sticky in large clumps with not much flavor, similar to the pad thai chicken spicy chicken wings- 3/5 the chicken wings didn't taste like usual spicy chicken wings, but didn't have a very memorable flavor read more

We got the pad Thai, and drunken noodles level 4 spicy- both some of the best I've tried in Austin. I opted for level 4/5 because I normally am underwhelmed by spiciness at thai spots around town but this level 4 was actually hot so be careful lol. We will definitely be back! read more

I was craving Tom yum soup tonight and I stopped by Thai Thani close to my house. It wasn't on the menu so I asked. They said they can make it but it would take maybe 15 or 20 minutes which was fine. I ordered it super spicy because no Thai place in town makes anything spicy. I waited and received a small container of soup. I thought for 11.99 I would get a quart but it wasn't. I said something to the young woman about the size and price. When I got home I opened it and it was so jammed packed with meat and vegetables and the flavor was the best the Tom yum soup I have had in Austin. And it was spicy. It was well worth the 11.99. So my apologies for saying anything negative to her and I really appreciate them taking the time to make something off menu for me. I could eat this every day. Add it to your menu!!!

SO excited to have a halal Thai place in Austin! Verbally confirmed by the person working, both beef and chicken are halal. Went to school here and had no idea this place existed. We tried the drunken noodles and yellow curry, both with chicken. Both were supposed to be spice level 3, but the noodles were much spicier than the curry. The curry was much more sweet than spicy. I'd say it's about the same quality as Madam Mam's or Tuk Tuk. Excited to try more things off this menu, and hopefully we'll figure out the spice levels as we go along. read more

This venue is run by a hardworking mother and daughter, and the food is prepared fresh upon ordering it. My chicken pad Thai was seriously good - rivaled most that I've had at other Thai restaurants. I can't wait to go back soon! As a tip, their pad Thai on the menu still says that it has tofu, but they said they actually don't include it anymore in the recipe. read more

1618 Asian Fusion

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.

The Thai tea was a standout--sweet, creamy, and the perfect pairing with the meal. The curries were rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care.

The drunken noodles were also very tasty--great texture, well-seasoned, and satisfying without being overly heavy. Service was great, food came out fresh, and the overall experience made this an easy recommendation. Definitely worth a visit if you're craving flavorful Thai food.

It was made with a black rice that actually looked kind of blue, which made it really visually fun.

The restaurant itself has a lot of indoor and outdoor seating, as well as a bar. It seems like a nice place to have a meal. As for the food, we ordered: Pad thai with chicken, mild spice - unfortunately this was a bit dry for me, though the taste was good. 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. Tom kha soup - I thought this was very good and had a decent amount of chicken and mushrooms Overall I liked everything but some items I felt I had better versions of elsewhere. It's also on the pricier side. Still, if in central Austin I think it's a solid choice for Thai food.

The chicken salad is zingy and really good, but you definitely need to add the rice to balance the flavors. I had actually never had boat noodles this sour and spicy before, and while they did warn me ahead of time, it still caught me off guard. That said, it was honestly delicious, just not what I expected. One thing to note: they don't really do modifications, so just be prepared to order things as-is. I also have to give them credit for the outdoor seating area because it's such a nice setup. It's dog-friendly, shaded, spacious, and they even have a self-serve water station. My only critique is that I think the portions are a bit small for the price point. Still, I'd recommend checking it out.

This is one big dessert so I'm glad we shared it - honestly would be worth splitting a whole one amongst a few people unless you have a big sweet tooth! The staff were really quick with the order. There's ample seating by the truck which is probably nice for part of the year, but we were suffering on a hot summer day. I would highly recommend this spot - but keep in mind the weather as it's all outdoor and outdoor seating only.

The egg was cook to perfection, the biscuit was dry though, and the gravy was a bit weird. It was more like a dressing than gravy. 3/5 Texas hash was sweet potatoes and pulled pork in what I can guess is like a curry sauce with lime, cilantros. I wouldn't order this again, we ate like 1/2 of it and didn't even togo home. I was expecting more like... breakfast sweet potatoes with a side of pulled pork, didn't expect that it was all mixed in and mashed together. 5/5 free rice Krispies, this was amazing. Probably the best home made rice Krispies I had in my life. Overall I need to comeback to try something else. Also the water here was good, didn't taste like Austin city water.

I will gladly have Sammie's take the Pepsi challenge against red sauce joints in NYC/NJ etc. In fact, I've told friends and family that I am going to take them to Sammie's when they visit from there. We just had such a fantastic experience - everything..the vibe..the red light fixtures and the color of the booths and the floor..the service - our server was great..loved their outfits..really had an old school little italy feel to it. The food was much better than I even anticipated - as a guy who grew up on NJ diner mozzarella sticks, I have a high bar for them and these were magnificent. And seriously...taking the "everything's bigger in Texas" slogan and applying them to mozzarella sticks?! top 10 achievements of the decade. The chicken parm was perfect - well seasoned, proper amount of crisp..the basil on top...the perfect browning of the cheese. Also the lasanga was excellent..and best part - the leftovers..took it home and the next two days put them in a small cast iron and re-heated them..and the magic was right there in my hill country kitchen! Lastly and certainly not least - the cannoli...just look at the photo below..
