Nice ambience with outdoor seating. My server, Lina was very friendly.Their appetizer coconut shrimps were fried evenly, had a good layering between shrimp and batter, crispy and quite addictive. Nice presentation with the cold pickled cucumber and sauce.The Northern Thai curry noodle Kao Soi can be a complex dish, but overall I enjoyed the medium base coconut curry broth, the variety of condiments (which I didn't mix all in the noodle), the bone-in chicken thigh, fried noodles, and mustard green were all very authentic. My only suggestion is they should use a bigger bowl for practicality with so much ingredients, or have lesser amount of noodles so they don't get tangled and appear as lump when pulled by chopsticks.

I was working at SXSW this March and ate at a different restaurant downtown near the Convention Center every day. I was surprised to find this little "hole in the wall" Thai restaurant, I have lived in Austin for 15 years and had never heard of it. It's small, it's unpretentious but it's REALLY good! Super authentic, reasonably priced, quick enough to get in and out for lunch on a busy day. If you like Thai food I recommend finding it and checking it out. One of the days I ate there it was cold outside and the soups were really warming. The servers can answer questions and make recommendations.

W ordered 4 dishes. 2 were good and 2 were terrible, ordinarily , Sugary sauce. Nothing special. Not tasty . Slow service.

Beef waterfall salad is amazing! Good size portion, great flavor, fair price $14. No $9 lunch specials any longer.

Great food and friendly service.\\nWe had pad thai and green curry as well as starters and ume plum wine.\\nHuge portions - barely were able to finish ours.\\nHad a great time!

Absolutely delicious! Ordered the coconut shrimp as an appetizer and the pineapple fried rice as an entree. Everything was perfectly spicy and savory. The customer service was fast and friendly. Will definitely come again!

The food here is very good. I tried yellow curry and green curry fried rice and they are delicious.

Fairly good place.Service is super friendly and prices aren't bad. Food was a mix... some good platters like the snapper curry. It was nicely fried yet juicy and flavourful. The duck was not as good maybe even under par.Chicken ginger sauce was good but not great.I guess it depends on what you order.

Our waitress was so sweet and amazing! I'd definitely come back just to see her. The food was so delicious and fresh! I had the fried tofu and eggplant stir fry. The sauce was so tasty; I'm still licking my lips.

Everything was perfect! Quick service, many options (including many clearly labeled vegetarian dishes), good portion sizes, tasty food, varied spiciness levels and amazing Thai tea! I got the red curry with tofu (comes with a choice of white or brown rice) and Thai tea, which is my new favorite combo.
