Best Thai Food in Austin
Austin, Texas — updated August 22, 2026
Eight Austin Thai restaurants ranked by how convincingly the ratings hold up, from a 4.7 on Brodie Lane to a 4.4 backed by thousands of reviews on North Lamar.
Listings verified
Austin's Thai restaurants are scattered rather than clustered: Brodie Lane and Menchaca in the far south, Airport Boulevard and North Lamar up north, Manor Road on the east side, Bee Caves Road out west. That spread means the ranking below is not a neighborhood crawl, and getting to two of these in one evening usually means crossing the river. We ordered them by how settled each rating looks, weighing the score against the number of people who gave it.
1. DEE DEE : Country Style Thai
The highest-rated Thai kitchen on this list, at 4.7 across 528 reviews, which is enough volume for that number to mean something rather than reflect a good first month. The name sets the expectation: country-style Thai rather than the Americanized standards, and the score suggests the regulars on Brodie Lane are the ones keeping it up there. It sits in far south Austin at 6405 Brodie Ln, well past the Ben White cluster of restaurants, so factor in the drive if you are coming from central Austin. Of the eight here, this is the one where a high rating and a real body of evidence line up most cleanly.
2. Titaya's Thai Cuisine
The most thoroughly tested Thai restaurant in the city on this list: 4.4 stars across 2,644 reviews, more than double the count of anything else here. A 4.4 at that scale is a harder thing to achieve than a 4.7 at a few hundred, because it has survived every off night, every delivery order and every first-timer. Titaya's is at 5501 N Lamar Blvd, Suite C101, in the stretch of North Lamar that carries a lot of Austin's Asian dining. If you want the safest bet rather than the highest number, this is it.
3. sway thai
A 4.5 held steady across 1,383 reviews, making it the second most-reviewed restaurant on this list and one of the few here with both a high score and a large sample. The Bee Caves Road address, 3437, puts it west of downtown near the Rollingwood side of things, which is worth knowing if your mental map of Austin Thai food stops at Lamar. Given the review volume, expect a room that fills rather than a quiet one, and plan accordingly on weekend nights.
4. Tuk Tuk Thai Cafe
Another 4.5, this one across 1,190 reviews, which puts it in the same proven tier as sway thai with a slightly smaller sample. It is at 5517 Menchaca Rd in south Austin, on a corridor better known for beer gardens than for Thai kitchens. It also has its own site at tuktukthaiaustin.com, the only place on this list where the brief gives us one, so it is the easiest of the eight to check hours and menu before you go.
5. Super Thai Cuisine
A 4.5 rating across 1,000 reviews, a round and unusually tidy figure that lands it squarely in proven territory. The address, 2024 S Lamar Blvd, is the reason it comes up so often: South Lamar draws steady foot and car traffic, and a restaurant holding a 4.5 through that kind of volume is doing something consistently. Parking on this stretch of South Lamar is the usual constraint rather than the food.
6. P Thai's Khao Man Gai & Noodles
The most specific menu premise here, and it is right in the name: khao man gai, the poached chicken and rice dish, plus noodles. That focus is reflected in a 4.6 rating from 346 reviews, a higher score than the big South Lamar and Bee Caves rooms but on a smaller base. Order what the sign advertises. It is at 4807 Airport Blvd, near the Airport and 51st corridor, and a narrow menu usually means a smaller operation, so treat peak hours with some patience.
7. KHON Thai Kitchen by Seeda
A 4.5 across 471 reviews on Burnet Road, at 5800, in one of the denser restaurant stretches in north-central Austin. The review count is modest next to Titaya's or sway thai but large enough that the rating is not provisional, and it sits at the same score as three far busier restaurants on this list. Burnet Road gets crowded at dinner, so this is a reasonable choice when the North Lamar options have a wait.
8. Thai Thani
The thinnest evidence on this list, and worth saying plainly: 4.6 stars is a strong number, but it comes from 176 reviews, a fraction of what the restaurants above have accumulated. That makes it promising rather than proven. The location helps its case, at 2101 Manor Rd on the east side, where the surrounding restaurants draw a steady crowd and a weak kitchen would not last long. Go if you are already on Manor Road and want to form your own opinion.
