Thai Taste

I was encouraged by the 4 stars on Yelp. We live just behind Thai taste, and didn't want to travel as far as we normally do for our favorite Thai. The food was extremely disappointing. Had the app sampler and laughed out loud when we saw it was just one of each item for $14. Everything was clearly pre-prepared frozen food. The fresh spring roll was identical to HEB and I know bc I had one for lunch that day. The rangoon was not bad. Everything else was. The chicken wing was dry and leathery. The tofu hard. Also had pineapple fried rice, which was pretty good, except we ordered pork and got chicken. The pad Thai was AWFUL. Flavorless mush. It was made with round rice noodles, like vermicelli. Complete waste of money that went into the trash. We will be making the commute next time!

We visited this nice neighborhood Thai place in Oak Hill on a quiet weekday evening. We ordered a panang curry with vegetables and a large bowl of tom kha soup with vegetables. The tom kha was great, it had a good tangy flavor and it carried the meal for me. The curry was a bit less of a hit from my perspective. I wished it was more creamy with more coconut milk; it was a tad thin.The seating was wooden benches which were not quite comfortable. The cushions which were a decent attempt at padding the benches kept sliding. Service was friendly but slow; we had to ask a couple of times to get warm water. Due to proximity we'll probably visit again.

Monday it was exceptionally cold in Austin. We are in town for a job & cold weather makes me want Thai food. We were greeted as we walked in which started us off on a good note. We ordered Hot Jasmine tea which was perfect. We ordered Crab Rangoon which I must say is the best I've had in forever. There was an ample size filling & the crusts was cooked perfectly. I usually don't like the dip because it's too sweet but this was very fresh & spicy ...Yummy! My husband had the Pad Kee Mao & really enjoyed it. I had Basil Fried Rice with chicken ( could have used a little more chicken) it was good too. The plates had a nice visual presentation as well. All in all a good experience & we will be back.

Love the authenticity feel of this place.. it's hard to come by really good Asian food. Their pricing is great and the portion (I think) is even better!

Possibly the worst Thai food I have ever had, and I've had a lot. Now, I am a white man, but even my whiteness won't allow me to recommend this bland fare. It's not Thai. It's mediocre Chinese food with Thai flavoring. Do not recommend.

Fast service, ample portions. Nice having someplace near the neighborhood for take-out

We picked up takeout from here the other day (easy process) because we were hoping to find good Thai food near our house. While i still think we have some searching to do, Thai Taste offers a decent alternative.The pad thai was a bit too dry for my taste, and the pineapple fried rice didn't have the punch of flavor I'm used to.However, again, not a ton of options for Thai food in this part of town, so still a solid choice!

Where to begin? Having moved from north to south Austin a couple of years ago I was bummed thinking that I was leaving all the good Asian food Austin had to offer. Fortunately, I was wrong. Thai Taste is a hidden gem of southwest Austin and offers a wide variety of traditional and fusion Thai food. I love their pad thai and shrimp spring rolls. They're a must have every time I visit. Over time, I've tried other dishes and these do not disappoint. Instead, Thai Taste surprises me every time. The service and staff are great too whether you are dining or grabbing take out. The restaurant has a calm and quiet ambiance and fortunately draws a good crowd daily (from what I've seen), which is a testament to how good their food is. I recommend you check them out!

Got delivery from here this weekend, and I was pretty impressed. This may be my new go-to. The fried rice was a large portion, and tasted great. The noodle soup was yummy as well, although the pork was very dry, but this may have been due to it being delivered. I had a love/hate relationship with The beef salad. The beef had an overwhelming charred flavor and there were too many onion slices, but it was super fresh and the dressing was delicious. Really made me want to try the waterfall beef. I'm glad to discover this place and hope I can check it out in person soon.

This is my go-to Thai place. It's close to where I live and the food is always good. Whether you are in or talking or I've never had to wait more than 15 minutes even on their busiest of days. The food always tastes very good and the portions are more than acceptable
