Where to Find Great Thai in Austin
Austin, Texas — updated August 22, 2026
Eight Thai restaurants in Austin, ranked by how convincingly their ratings hold up, from a Brodie Lane country-style kitchen to the long-running North Lamar standby.
Listings verified
Austin's Thai restaurants cluster along two axes: the North Lamar and Burnet corridors north of campus, and a South Austin run stretching from South Lamar down to Brodie Lane and West Gate. Several of the city's busiest kitchens carry review counts in the thousands, which makes their ratings unusually easy to trust; a few smaller rooms score higher but on far less evidence. The list below is ordered with that difference in mind.
1. DEE DEE : Country Style Thai
The highest-rated Thai kitchen in this group, and the count behind it is substantial rather than promising: 4.7 across 528 reviews, which is enough volume for a rating that strong to mean something. The focus, as the name states, is country-style Thai cooking rather than the Americanized standards. It sits at 6405 Brodie Lane in far South Austin, well south of the South Lamar restaurant traffic, so it draws people who are going there deliberately. Worth building a trip around if you are already south of Ben White.
2. Titaya's Thai Cuisine
The most thoroughly tested Thai restaurant in Austin on this list, with 2,644 reviews behind a 4.4 rating. That combination is the definition of settled: a score that has survived years of high volume rather than a small run of enthusiastic diners. Titaya's occupies a suite at 5501 N Lamar Blvd, in the stretch of North Lamar that has long been the city's Thai center of gravity. It is the safe recommendation for a group with mixed opinions, and it stays busy accordingly.
3. Super Thai Cuisine
A 4.5 rating with exactly 1,000 reviews, which puts it in the rare position of scoring above Titaya's on a sample large enough to take seriously. It is on South Lamar at 2024 S Lamar Blvd, in the middle of one of the densest restaurant corridors in the city, so parking and wait times track with the rest of that block on weekend evenings. If you want the strongest rating-to-volume ratio in South Austin without driving to Brodie Lane, this is it.
4. P Thai's Khao Man Gai & Noodles
Named for a single dish, which tells you what to order: khao man gai, the poached chicken and rice plate, alongside the noodles the sign also advertises. The rating is high at 4.6, though the 346 reviews behind it make it less proven than the two entries above; call it strong evidence rather than conclusive. The address is 4807 Airport Blvd, close enough to the North Lamar Thai cluster to fold into the same trip. A specialist rather than a full-menu restaurant, which is the point.
5. Sap's Ver Fine Thai Cuisine
The other Austin Thai restaurant with a review count in the thousands: 4.4 from 2,566 reviews at 4514 West Gate Blvd. Yelp lists Monday hours running from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m., which puts it in a small group of Thai kitchens open well past a normal dinner service, so check the current day's hours before making a late plan. The restaurant also takes online orders through its own site. A dependable South Austin option with the volume to back the score.
6. KHON Thai Kitchen by Seeda
At 5800 Burnet Rd, on the Burnet corridor rather than North Lamar, with a 4.5 rating from 471 reviews. That is a good rating on a moderate sample: better than promising, short of proven. Burnet Road is an easier stretch to park on than South Lamar, which matters on a weeknight. Useful if you live in Allandale or Brentwood and do not want to cross Lamar for dinner.
7. Thai Thani
The thinnest evidence on this list, and worth saying so plainly: 4.6 is an excellent rating, but 176 reviews is a small sample and the number could move in either direction as it grows. What recommends it is location, at 2101 Manor Rd in the middle of the East Austin restaurant row, where Thai options are scarcer than they are on North Lamar. Go if you are already on Manor Road and want something other than the usual suspects on that block.
8. Thai Fresh
The lowest rating here at 4.2, but drawn from 1,470 reviews, so it is a settled number rather than a fluke. Restaurants with that much volume tend to score lower simply because they serve more people with more expectations. Thai Fresh is at 909 W Mary St in Bouldin, on a residential side street rather than a commercial strip, which makes it a quieter sit-down option than the Lamar corridor restaurants. Worth knowing about if the South Lamar wait times have gotten out of hand.
