Little Thailand

Legit Thai food with no frills. Plenty of seating and speedy service. Sat party of 8 with no problem.

Little Thailand is a little out of the way from me usually, but it's off the highway near Circuit of the Americas, so I've ended up stopping by on more than one occasion.The interior feels supremely small, but it's brightly lit and very clean. The same thing can be said for the restrooms. Service is fast here, but be aware that even if the restaurant itself is empty they're taking a ton of to go orders so you'll be in for a bit of a wait. However, the wait is worth it! Your food will be hot and delicious. On my trips here I've had their tofu pad thai, spring rolls, yellow curry, and Pad See-Ew. They've all been SO good. I've been told the fried rice and Tom Yum are also good. The curry is great for the colder times of the year. And I highly recommend ordering their Thai tea during a Texas summer. It's incredibly well balanced and refreshing.

Small restaurant with fantastic food with huge flavors. Great Thai food featuring traditional dishes. Heed the spice levels! Everything is very fresh. Service is always a joy. The spring roles are so good and full of flavor.

When a restaurant serves Boat Noodles, a Thai food lover should take note. Why? There are several reasons. First, making Boat Noodles is a project. Putting it on the menu is a commitment. Second, it's not the kind of dish that has mass appeal in the US. Pork blood is its most important ingredient, FFS! So if it is in constant rotation on the menu, it's a sign that the restaurant isn't into the "dumbing down" thing. And third...if you ask Thai people what's their favorite dish, many will say "Boat Noodles." So this is a dish that you and I should WANT to eat.Little Thailand serves Boat Noodles. 'Nuff said!What are Boat Noodles? Sounds like a nautical dish full of seafood. It's not. Let me quote the description on Little Thailand's menu: "A classic Thai style rice noodle dish packed with sliced beef, meat balls, pork blood and cilantro in a dark soy sauce pork broth served with bean sprouts, basil leaves and crispy pork rinds on the side."In short, it's noodles...served in an intensely flavorful broth...enriched with pork blood. But don't let pork blood scare you. You'd never know that it's in there, but you would know if it wasn't--if you catch my drift. Pork blood is the X-factor that elevates the dish to next level.Little Thailand's Boat Noodles are fabulous. The broth is an explosion of tart, spicy, rich (hello pork blood!), umami flavors firing at your tongue from every conceivable direction. They give you a choice of proteins. I chose pork, and the quantity was quite generous. They give you a choice of spiciness. There are four level of spiciness, ranging from mild to "Thai Spicy." I opted for level 3 (aka, "Spicy"), and it had enough kick to make my nose run...but not so much that I was convulsing with flop sweats. "Spicy" was nicey. And I ate every single noodle, every slice of pork, every bean sprout, every leaf of basil, and drank every drop of that glorious broth. It took all the discipline I could muster not to tongue-bathe the interior of the bowl.Suffice it to say, I loved Loved LOVED it.The building itself is clean, intimate, and spare. It's a small, simple dining room that (to me, at least) felt rustic in a Wisconsin supper club kind of way. The facade is hard to miss, with its red and gold pagoda motif. Little Thailand is located south of Austin. It's a bit out in the boonies, yet is a quick, easy, uncongested 20 minute drive from east Austin. And it has its own parking lot. Yay! I consider its quasi-remote location a plus, because there are few things I dislike more than city congestion and parking.Service was friendly, efficient, and professional.Prices are reasonable.This was my first trip to Little Thailand, and I intend to go back again and again to eat my way through its menu. And, of course, to have more Boat Noodles. A lot more Boat Noodles.Great food, great service, relaxed location. Little Thailand is a jewel and a keeper.

Showed up 30mins before the posted closing time, lady rudely told me they weren't doing dine-in so whatever, I order it to go. Then she kinda huffed around and sat me at a table and served it dine in. It was pretty decent Thai food, but the weird attitude was uncalled for. Restaurant seemed kinda disorganized and run down, a little worried on the cleanliness but maybe that's the theme they are going for. Being kinda kidded and out of the way, it's unlikely I'll make the effort to go back.

Came here during a weekend trip to Hyatt Lost Pines. All ressies at their restaurants were booked out for the night, and so we came 10min down the road to here. My fave part was the sticky rice - they are served in these super adorable cylindrical vessels. We got the BBQ pork skewers app to start, and they were delish. Super flavorful. Pad Thai with duck followed, and they were really good about taking peanut products out (allergy). We also got a chicken curry soup bowl that was fantastic. The ambiance super casual. Def a hidden gem. I did not like how they had 2 large TV screens on either side of the restaurant, as I felt it detracted from the ambiance. You have to pay at the counter near the front at the end.

Small Thai food with huge authentic flavors. The service is good, good suggestions when we asked questions, and the food was excellent. Atmosphere was nice, look for the big water tower, it is nearby. Highly recomennded!

Little Thailand is sort of tucked away off a frontage road adjacent to the freeway. It's not huge and lives up to the "little" aspect of its name; dirt lot, unassuming.It's small inside but it has a cozy vibe to it. Oddly low ceilings though but hey, whatevs. Service was super friendly and accommodating and we got sat pretty quickly. I got the vibe that this is more of a takeout place than a dine-in. They had several orders bagged and ready to go and a seemingly endless stream of people coming in to claim their brown bagged bounties of deliciousness.I had the crab fried rice and it was a good decision. TONS of food and could have easily been shared. They really hooked it up with the crab and it was all cooked to perfection and not overly greasy. Good stuff!

Quality of food , cooking skills and the menu choices has gone downhill. I am guessing that it must be a different Chef, because this place was top notch Authentic Thai food up until a while back. And adding a *$3:51 * processing fee without informing the customer is NOT ok. Bad, bad. - I didn't see it until after I was home, otherwise I'd have brought it up beforehand. I called to let them know of my dissatisfaction, but they didn't answer the phone either..Well that's it from me, I'll not be back in a hurry, if at all. It was my go-to for the longest time, and I already tried again & again over a period of a few months apart hoping on improvement. - it's got worse. I'm done

Ordered take out from here. Ready on time. Easy to walk in and pick up. Had panang curry and pad thai. Both were good!
