Rose's Kitchen

They've been in this location for 2 years and have recently opened a Thai cuisine restaurant on east slaughter. Definitely recommend. Everything we ordered was freshly prepared and tasted great. The papaya salad has a strong fish taste. As it should, but make sure you like that if you have a normal western palate. It was very good. I ate the entire order by myself. I had the pad see ew at 3 (of 5) spicy. I could have eaten 4 but I wouldn't have enjoyed it. If you're a white American who likes spicy food at a "anything a typical Mexican restaurant throws at you" level i recommend stopping at 3. I would have gotten the sticky mango rice but I was too full. I don't know why I haven't gone before but I'll definitely be back. Also, the owner was very friendly and made us feel very welcome.

This spot had been on my list for a while, and I was so excited to finally try it! From the moment I walked in, the cozy and welcoming ambiance made it feel like home. The staff greeted us warmly, which set the tone for an enjoyable evening.Unfortunately, they were out of chicken satay, so we hesitated before trying the pork satay--but it turned out to be a great decision! The pork was incredibly tender, packed with flavor, and possibly the best satay I've ever had. It was a perfect balance of char and seasoning. We also ordered veggie spring rolls, which were crispy, golden, and cooked to perfection.The red curry was another highlight, bursting with rich, complex flavors and just the right amount of heat. If you're not a fan of spice, definitely go for level 1--we tried level 3, and even as spice lovers, we found it intense but enjoyable. The drunken noodles were equally impressive, with bold flavors and a satisfying mix of textures. While the portion was small, it was just right for one person.To end the meal, we had mango sticky rice, one of my all-time favorite desserts. Sadly, the rice was undercooked, which was a bit disappointing. However, the sweet mango balanced it out, and I'd still be eager to give it another shot next time.Overall, the experience was fantastic, thanks to the flavorful dishes, warm atmosphere, and excellent service. I'd 100% come back to try more menu items and soak in the great vibes. This was the perfect way to ring in NYE--thank you for such a memorable evening!

I've only ordered take out from here so I can't speak to the location or service. The food though, I've had many times. The Tom yum soup is my favorite in south Austin! Such great authentic flavor.The pad Thai is also so great, I wish they gave bigger portions because it's a little small but probably best so I have some control :)

Rose's Kitchen shows potential, but ultimately falls short. In true Asian family style, we ordered an assortment of dishes to share. We had the Siamese Cheese Rolls, Papaya Salad, Pad See Ew, Thai Chicken Wings and the Tom Yum Soup. The good:-The standout for us was the Tom Yum soup--it had the perfect balance of kaffir lime and spices, with shrimp that were tender and not overcooked.-The wings were not horrendous, I loved the crispiness of it, but wings served at an Asian restaurant should not be served with ranch... the sauce on the wings should do all the work.The bad: -The Pad See Ew had too little sauce while the beef was overcooked and chewy. Pad See Ew is traditionally served with Chinese Broccoli, but instead regular broccoli was used and put too much crunch/texture on this-The Papaya Salad was drenched in fish sauce and lime instead of delicately being flavored-The Siamese Cheese Rolls should not even be on the menu, as they were essentially just fried egg roll wrappers stuffed with cream cheese.-I didn't like how the food was served on disposable plates-- it didn't make the food any better or worse, but it didn't do the place justice

We called in a takeout order from Rose's kitchen. It came highly recommended from some friends we were visiting in Austin, and it did not disappoint! We ordered a ton of different dishes including pad Thai and pad se ew and Thai fried rice everything was delicious! The man who took our order over the phone was also super friendly and even joked with us a bit! Great service! Next time I'm visiting Austin and need a Thai fix I will for sure be visiting Rose's kitchen!

Wonderful, fresh, delicious food from a place that really cares! In spite of a delivery drivers problem- Roses made sure our order arrived perfectly for a celebration mea! We plan to enjoy their food again- soon & often!

Make the time to come here! The Thai food is very very good. They also have salads, sandwiches, burgers and more. Their Thai dishes are exceptional. Fresh fresh fresh. For starters we had the brisket (!!!!) spring rolls and Chicken dumplings. Both delicious and the peanut sauce is outstandingFor the mains, pad se ew and veggie delight were awesome with #1 heat. Heat is 1 to 5. Tasty flash cooked veggies and house sauces.Rose is a bubbly friendly owner/host/chef. So recommend!!

The food was just as amazing as the service, the servers were kind and listened and the owner was sweet. The music choices here were varied and left a great ambiance around the restaurant. I will absolutely be back again and again!

Food was great- extremely simple yet -interesting . great service , Mike is fantastic

While a little difficult to find, the effort was well worth it. Some of the best Thai food we've had. In particular, I enjoyed my Drunken Noodle dish.
