Titaya’s Thai Cuisine: Authentic Thai Flavors in Austin

I came here for a Saturday night dinner with my family. We loved the food and our server was fantastic. The food was not only delicious but it came out so quickly! My favorite dishes were Pad Woon Sen, taro fritters, and the papaya salad. The Pad Woon Sen was flavorful and had a slight smokiness to it. The taro fritters were perfectly crispy and had a tasty batter. The papaya salad was fresh and spicy! The shrimp in the papaya salad were fat and sweet. Other dishes we enjoyed: basil fried rice, tom yum soup, chu chee pla, and fish cake appetizer. The pad see ew was just ok. The portions were on the smaller side but matched the price. We had a party of 5 and got 5 entrees and 2 appetizers. Overall, I would come here again! I loved the food and service. The dishes tasted authentic and flavorful. I would love to explore more of the dishes on the menu. This is a great place to take your family to, people visiting from out of town, or a tasty dinner date. The atmosphere is relaxing and calm and the restaurant is beautifully decorated.

Best authentic Thai Restaurant do try their Thai Ice Tea Late

Titaya has been in Austin for years now, and Without a doubt, offers the best and most authentic Thai food I've had in the USA. From the moment we sat down, it was clear we were in for a treat. The restaurant is also reasonably priced, making the incredible quality even more impressive. The service was remarkably fast, without any compromise on the top-notch food quality. We highly recommend indulging in their classic fish specialities. The Pad Cha, Chuu Chee Pla, and Pla Sum Rod were all phenomenal, with sauces that were truly out of this world – bursting with fresh and vibrant flavors. We also started with the chicken skewers appetizer, which was absolutely excellent and perfectly prepared. The Tom Yum soup lived up to its reputation – incredibly spicy and utterly delicious, a must-try for those who enjoy a good kick. To perfectly conclude our meal, the mango sticky rice was the ideal sweet ending. And don't miss their ice Thai tea, which was strong, refreshing, and incredibly delicious. Overall, my experience at Titaya was exceptional. If you're looking for truly authentic Thai flavors, fast and friendly service, and incredible value in Austin, look no further. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant!

Amazing experience! One best thai place in Austin. Expect some delay in getting food. Pad kee mao is winner. Pineapple fried rice was also great. Overall good experience. Will def visit again.

Local Guide, Kelly Nguyen's review of Titaya motivated me to drive over to Hyde Park and check out this Thai hot spot.  Here's how her review began: "Titaya has been in Austin for years now and, without a doubt, offers the best and most authentic Thai food I've had in the USA. From the moment we sat down, it was clear we were in for a treat. The restaurant is also reasonably priced, making the incredible quality even more impressive." I have never met Kelly, but I think we would be culinary buds. I chose the Satay Gai ($10.50) as an appetizer.  The marinated chicken skewers are served with peanut sauce and a cucumber relish.  It was a nice light appetizer that I paired with another Titaya favorite. Tom Yum soup. If you haven't tried it, the soup is a spicy broth with chili, lime, lemongrass, yellow onion, tomatoes, and mushrooms.  You can have it with chicken shrimp or tofu (I chose shirmp $7.95). It is available in a bowl or firepot.  If y'all appreciate Thai heat, this will fire your taste buds up in a hurry. For the entrées, I tried two classics.  If you ask most people what they know about Thai cuisine in America, they will probably mention Pad Thai ($13.50 including chicken)  The dish is perfect for my wife, because she has a low tolerance for heat, and she loves the signature sweet tamarind sauce.  I really enjoyed Titaya's take on it. For my meal, I chose Chuu Chee Pla ($19.95) off Titaya's Classic Favorites menu. A crispy Basa fish fillet is topped with a coconut red curry sauce.  The heat is more subtle coming in at the end of each bite after delivering a sweet creamy taste at the start. Overall, the meal was excellent.  We already have our next meal picked out - Hung Lay Buns ($10.50) and Spinach Dumplings ($7.50) as appetizers and the Pad Cha ($19.95) and Pad See Eiw ($13.50 with chicken) for the main meal. There is so much good Thai food and so little time! This place is a must stop. Add it now to your list! #MattGoodEats

I enjoyed dinner with my family. Quantity was good, I felt little bit pricey. Food quality and taste were superior. The battered mushroom appetizer was too good, we had for first time. I normally go to Thai restaurants in Houston Texas, but I must recommend this one in Austin.

Classic Thai food with classic Thai flavor, and my partner, her cousin, and I really enjoyed the courteous service that our server offered us throughout our dining experience. I don't have a lot of comments about this one, so I will just leave what I can! We ordered quite a few first bites, and they were all pretty good. The wings had good marinated flavor from the lemongrass, garlic, and peppercorns. The taro fritter was like fries made with taro, and it was an interesting experience that I simply treated as eating fries eventually. The crab cakes were solid as well, as I could taste sweet corn and eggs in them, and the spicy mustard aioli on the side worked well. I ordered two bowls, one containing tom yum, and one containing tom kha. I enjoyed tom kha a lot and thought it was the perfect amount of coconut milk included, and the effects of galangal, lemongrass, lime, and chili were obvious. Tom yum was okay, as I thought there was a bit too much chili, but I understood that it was supposed to be that way and it was my spicy tolerance that posed an issue. They offered a lot of tofu which was great. I do have to point out that my partner's cousin ordered the tom yum fried rice but was served crab meat fried rice instead. We ended up just letting it slide, but would like to mention that it happened. The crab fried rice could use a bit more seasoning. The flavor wasn't quite there, unfortunately. One more thing that might help elevate the experience was coconut water, if we could have a real coconut instead of an existing carton. But this is just me proposing something that could be potentially unrealistic and it is only because I have seen other places do it. Regardless, overall solid experience and I would recommend this establishment to those in Austin looking for Thai food.

Absolutely fantastic Thai food. I had honestly given up on enjoying Thai food in Austin till we tried this gem. The staff is polite, efficient and knowledgeable and the restaurant was bustling. Unique items I recommend trying are the sweet corn taro fritters and black rice pudding! Can’t wait to come back during mango season for the sweet sticky rice!
