The entire restaurant is still shut down. You have to be outside and even outside people are in masks. Cool! Waiting for that award for staying shut down the longest. If that’s your goal, you’re certainly on track.When I walked inside I had a man yell that “I can’t be in here without a mask and to go outside!” There was a pile of masks sitting at the counter; I grabbed one and put it on. He then asked if I would just order online in spite of the fact there’s a person standing at the counter ready to take my order?How imbecilic can an entire group of people be? This is a reflection on the owner. I hope you wind up in your rightful position: out of business. I live on this street, but it will be the last time I eat here. If you’re that scared of COVID-19, why don’t you just shut down all the way instead of insulting your guests and acting like you’re making a difference (you’re not).

So so good!! We have donr takeout from them and have gotten: drunken noodles, pad see ew, egg rolls, coconut soup, chicken wingsAll of the dishes are scrumptious and the entrees are close to 2 servings (maybe 1.5)They also have the BEST lemon bar Ive ever had, and lemon bars are my favorite dessert, so that is high praise!They also have cold brew concentrate that really hits the spot in the mornings.Overall, very much love this restaurant and am happy to support an establishment that provides a living wage.

Decent sandwich and Thai iced tea, could be a bit more spicy but that’s just me. Lol.

Lovely atmosphere and costumer service when I was dining in here. Currently, they’re just doing outdoor seating. I work close by so I frequently get their breakfast tacos to-go.They’re a nice size and they grill the tortillas (why don’t more places do that?). Other things on the menu that are amazing- green curry, coconut soup(best coconut soup I’ve ever had), and their ice creams! I’ve tried a few other items that were hit or miss, but all in all most of their food is amazing! Just pay attention to your order’s ingredients so you get something you like. Everything is very customizable. Great vegetarian and vegan options.

Great experience! Amazing gluten free food and friendly helpful staff. I recommend the GF/DF chicken and waffles for brunch and the lavender cheesecake!

The bomb. This is one of my FAVORITE restaurants in Austin. This place ducking’ SLAPS. The food is always on point and their dairy free ice cream is the BEST in town!

A tripudiation of trophic tastes. Contactless pickup convenient to both South First and South Lamar.

Great thai...its take out only at this point but the service makes you feel cared for.

Perhaps the best Thai food I have found yet in Austin. The cashew stir fry was exactly what it needed to be with the right amount of spiciness. The fried rice had basil in it and gave it a really deep flavor elevating the dish. One quirk is that the tip is included in the bill which is not that obvious. I feel if I came here more often, I would rate it 5 stars. A solid choice in any event.

Super tasty, fast service, lovely outdoor seating, AND they pay their employees a living wage. definitely will be back again and again!

Amazing. 100% perfect every time except once the coconut soup was a little off and weird. I miss living down the street. Their groceries at the start of the pandemic were very useful. Community and neighborhood-oriented place.

I love this spot. It’s one of the first real farm to table restaurants in Austin, and the Thai food is legit! Run by a super wholesome couple who care about their guests, ingredients, and staff. AMAZING gluten free treats and desserts, plus gelato, ice cream, and great coffee. They now have a coffee shop side and a restaurant dining side, so it’s a great place for lunch meetings, dinner dates, or a quiet midday coffee and pastry/snack. It’s the best! Don’t let this part of old, awesome Austin fade, go now!

Very tasty you can tell it is all fresh ingredients. The tomatoes were so good!

Well it still tastes OK. Glad I went. I have been ranting and raving about TF to many people 😒 today was the first time since the beginning of the pandemic that I have visited. The food wasnt as good as it used to be. I absolutely hated the sticky rice. It was cold and hard. It even bent the spoon I was using. The drunken noodle is my go to always, and even that was very meh today. 😐 sad day.

If you are craving for Thai food. Dont come to this place. This place is nothing taste like Thai food, not even close enough. Thai Tea taste like water and soap taste like water, fry rice is horrible. I spent over $100 on rest of the food for very tasteless.

Significant drop in food quality over the past year. I used to be an advocate for the fresh food and fair wages at Thai Fresh. However, the recent decline in food quality and lack of service has forced me to no longer eat here. The last time we ate here we were given burnt fried rice, over oiled pad thai, and under cooked chicken. Good luck eating here.

Food was good and presentable. I was impressed that they pay their waiters a living wage so its not necessary to tip them according to the waiter. We asked him if he liked it, and he said yes so we were definitely happy for him and the restaurant in general.

Highly recommend! I love their super easy curbside pickup, online ordering is a breeze. I cant recommend their gluten free desserts enough, especially their cakes! The ice cream is incredible, try getting it with sticky rice, you wont regret it!

Incredible local find in Austin. Some of the best Thai dishes Ive ever had!

This place has been favorite for years but it’s been hit or miss for the last 6 months and more. We typically order the same two things every time and some days it’s overcooked, undercooked or flavorless. I guess because nobody can dine in, there is no quality control since the only place to leave feedback is here. If you have the chance, taste your food before you leave the parking lot—just know it’s a gamble. I hope the owner is paying attention to these reviews. We don’t want to see this restaurant fail, but we may not be ordering again until they open back up.

Always my favorite brunch - fried chicken and waffles - gf and df. I eat here at least twice a month (carry out or dining in). Also, no need to leave a tip, they pay their employees a fair wage.Also, gluten free/dairy free waffle cone with vegan ice cream... I mean... heaven!!!

This place is amazing. The food is so fresh and the coconut ice cream is fantastic. Im going to Thailand on January and hope to find a cooking class there that teaches me to cook like this place. Id take the class at this restaurant, but I live in Houston.

One of the best Thai restaurants in Austin. Many veggie and vegan options. The curry had the perfect balance between sweet and salt - best curry Ive ever had in Austin.

Havent had food from the kitchen. I went in looking for ingredients for green curry. They wouldn’t let me scan the items like one would walking through a grocery store. Instead I was referred to an online menu that I had to scan a QR code for that was on the outside tables. Hostess wasn’t knowledgeable on the items and I wont hold that against her, but I wasn’t really offered help by any other employees and she acted like I couldn’t get out the door fast enough, as she emphasized “the menu outside” several times. I just felt like I was an inconvenience just for showing up

Such a good menu. Very hard to choose just one item when eating for 1.

I think the food & service quality here has dropped over the past year or so. For years I heard amazing things about this place and always saw it packed (pre-pandemic). Finally went for the first time today and was not only disappointed, but directly misled. The online ordering system does not allow you to make any menu item vegan, despite reviews and the main website saying otherwise. I called to confirm that any dishes could be made vegan, and to see what their seating situation was like. They told me that 1) many menu options can easily be made vegan online and 2) that they had both indoor and outdoor seating. We showed up not 20 minutes later to be told by a server that they in fact did not have any indoor seating, and only one item on the kids menu could be made vegan. The food we did get was incredibly over oiled (to the point where it was dripping off of the plate) and some veggies were undercooked. Overall, I’m disappointed in this south Austin spot that I had been looking forward to trying for years.

Taste really bad and I shouldnt come over here.

Excellent service and flavorful food. The staff was so friendly & helpful and the ambiance was very warm and inviting. I went for breakfast and ordered the chicken and waffles (GF). The chicken (1 wing & half a breast) was seasoned very well and the waffle was cooked to perfection. Very limited parking but tons of street parking available. Next time Im back in Austin Id love to try their other items on the menu.

One of my favorite Thai spots. Pad See Ew and the papaya salad are my favorites!

First time here and loved it. I will most likely become a regular as it is just down the street from my apartment. Prices are high because they include gratuity in the cost. The yellow curry was amazing and loved the customization optioms. Wasnt expecting ice cream, the black horchata was absolutely amazing.

Great farm to table cooking, supporting local sustainable practices farmers. Delicious food. Excellent vegan ice cream selection. The best in town.

Wow, amazing vegan ice cream. Hidden gem. I got the rice pudding horchata.

Surprisingly amazing GF and vegan bakery

Thai Fresh is a restaurant situated in one of Austins quaint neighborhoods.My wife was told about this place by one of her friends. The food is excellent. The deserts superb. I loved the appetizers, especially the chicken cracklings. We have only had take-out due to the pandemic, but this is not a problem. You order your food and a very nice gentleman comes out and sets it on an outside chair, where you then get out of your car and take your food. Tell your friends.

Food is outstanding. No tipping needed because they pay their employees a living wage!!!

Great calm location hidden in a neighborhood. The food is truly fresh. My chicken was deliciously grilled. Wait staff service can be improved. Tip is included in your bill, which Might make a difference for you...or not. If you’re looking for more bang for your buck, this isn’t the place. But I definitely think it’s worth the money for the fresh product you get.

The ice cream is grainy, but flavorful. The lemon flavor is good. The ordering process is complicated and not very effective, but the staff is friendly and helpful.

Delicious!! & the ice cream over warm rice... 🤤🤤

Their ice cream is THE BEST Ive had, vegan or not. The texture is perfection and the flavors are so inventive and well executed. Pictured is coconut ash. My favorite is probably the Thai coffee but coming in second is lavender caramel.

We order takeout from here at least once a week. My go-to order is spicy basil fried rice with crispy pork belly. So good!! Thai Fresh is also one of the few gluten free, vegan bakeries that I’ve found which is perfect for my picky household.During the quarantine, we have also used them to get grocery items that are sometimes hard to find at the store (they have eggs, fresh produce, dairy products, gluten free baking supplies, etc).Lastly, we were able to do a virtual cooking class this past weekend and it was an amazing (socially distant) activity! We were able to customize the curry and soup with our own protein and vegetables and they were some of the best meals we’ve made at home. Chef Jam was very informative about the different ingredients and prep / cooking techniques, so it was truly a learning experience.I cannot recommend Thai Fresh enough!

Placed my order online for Togo. My sister and I got the Drunken Noodles and the Spicy Basil Fried Rice. They were seriously some of the best tasting Thai dishes I’ve had! The only issue was how over priced they were, but that won’t stop me from revisiting 😁

Best Thai food in Austin. Really.

I got the pad thai, it was good and you dont have to tip!

Ive always loved this places baked goods and ice cream options. It had been a while since I last visited, and they definitely did not disappoint! My only complaint would be that their new online ordering system does a terrible job of indicating allergen demarcations on all their non-dessert menu items. On the curries, for example, you can clearly order tofu with each of them... But theres not enough descriptive info available on the menu to determine if the meal would be vegetarian/vegan if ordered that way. (eg would it contain dairy or fish sauce, or...?) In general, more info on whats actually in each menu item would be quite beneficial to the online ordering platform.

As always the food is over the top delicious! I love the mixed vegetables with tofu. My usual Yellow Chicken Curry was great too however they could put a little more chicken in the dish. The only reason I don’t give them a 5 star is the wait staff hospitality is included in the food pricing. So there is no required tipping. It always feels to me that the wait staff isn’t as attentive to my table during my visit. Feels that way every time I come here. I’d prefer to have the staff motivated to provide great service. I guarantee the staff would make more money than their all inclusive plan they work under.

Love this place. Too bad not open for dine in yet. So bummed!!!

The bakery/coconut ice cream menu is soooo good!! Mostly GF, vegan, so good. That part is 5 stars. However...the food menu *sounds* good, but Thai food should be bursting with sour, salty, spicy flavors and somehow this is some of the blandest Thai food Ive had. It isnt that hard to create all those flavors either but Ive tried a few things so have finally learned my lesson-no more ordering the food unfortunately. But I will definitely go back for baked treats and ice cream again, and the staff seems nice. And I like the easy ordering and take out system.

Best Thai food in austin. Fun hip place. Amazing dessert.

This place is wonderful. The food is amazing and most menu items are gluten-free. Theyre pick-up system is fast and efficient. My food is almost always ready earlier than my pick up time.I recommend trying the Pineapple fried rice. Its great.

Fresh, natural, healthy and delicious!! 💖👍

Delicious food AND no need to tip because they pay their employees a living wage. This place is great

I was really disappointed with my most recent order. I tried the wing papaya salad combination starter and the portions (two wings with a cup of shredded papaya) were underwhelming.I also ordered two chicken pad Thai entrees and both lacked flavor and were slightly burned.I intentionally ordered simple Thai dishes since it was my first order from them, but I will not be ordering from them again.

Love this place!! Our favorite is the coconut vermicelli noodles. They are TO DIE FOR. also love their selection of vegan/gf desserts!

What is not to love here?? My go-to at any Thai restaurant is green curry, this place has the best I have ever had. Throw in some pineapple and broccoli and maaaan its good. Love the fact that nearly everything is locally sourced and several gluten free and vegan options. After our meal we always enjoy heading over to the cafe side and enjoying some delicious dairy free coconut ice cream. Our favorite is the lavender caramel.

Extremely meh- this restaurant could do a Tedtalk though on how to brand in a cutsie way that appeals to those wanting to be in the “it crowd” as it is a socially highly regarded restaurant although the base product (the food) is very underwhelming and quite a ripoff relative to the value/what you pay for. Last time I had Thai fresh I got the bleakest, least flavorful, pad Thai I’ve had. It should be called “Sad Thai” because you’ll be depressed trudging through this flavorless noodle bowl that you paid $15-$18 for.

Was really excited to try this place because my friend gabe it such rave reviews but I waited 30 minutes past when my order said it was supposed to be ready in the parking lot even after following the pickup instructions of texting the name and parking space twice.This was specially frustrating because my friend got her food on time and we were just in the car hungry smelling her order wondering what was going on.

Green curry was very flavorful and a great amount of spice. Not normally a huge pad Thai fan but they had a good texture and flavor. They also pay a living wage so you dont need to tip!

Very small portions for the price, living wage or not. There is no need for them to be shut down unless they have no staff. They can operate just like any grocery store or any other restaurant where people can go and sit down. This is ridiculous to volunteer to shut yourself down. Won’t be back.

We were so looking forward to this meal. if theres one thing this meal was its: not fresh. thankfully most of it went into the trash bin and not our stomachs.

They will make you an amazing pot of tea on a cold winter day. I never regret visiting.Pandemic edit: I wholeheartedly support their efforts to center worker safety, but literally every time I have ordered from them during the pandemic they have gotten the order wrong, and there is no way to fix it. I love this place and want to keep eating here, but it is frustrating.

The desserts are FANTASTIC- and vegan and gluten free. Peanut butter chocolate cake and golden milk ice cream 👌

PORK BELLY IN MY VEGETARIAN DISH MAKES ME HAPPY

I’ll give them 5 stars as soon as their phone starts working

Thai Fresh - I love you. You are everything I ever wanted in a neighborhood Thai restaurant. The owner is conscientious and understands the intricacies of not only running an establishment, but also the responsibility they have to their staff and guests. The dessert menu is through the roof - I get dessert from them at least twice a week. The food menu is perfect, lots of variety and they accommodate all diets and requests. The staff is friendly, consistent and have really good energy. (It is under estimated how important energy is in the food industry). My only tiny complaint is that the Drunken Noodles are inconsistently spicy, but other than that Thai Fresh is delicious and has cemented itself as a Bouldin staple.

Absolute, hands down, worst Thai food Ive ever had. Go anywhere else.

Ordered from them for the first time tonight. Ugh. Just dont do it. The pad thai tastes of burnt wok oil and little else. The mushroom starter was 4 tiny shriveled pieces. It this wasnt take out, youd never pay for something like this. Never again.

Good food, good service, but zero atmosphere. NO TIPPING, a big plus!

I cant say anything about the ambiance of the restaurant, as we ordered takeout from Thai Fresh last evening. My roommate enjoyed her food a fair amount hence two stars, but honestly I had a less-than-stellar food experience. I ordered a Tofu Massaman Curry with brocolli and potatoes as the two vegetables I picked, and when it arrived it was a brocolli/potato and mushroom curry with NO tofu. I hate mushrooms and went out of my way to not order them, and its just annoying that I ordered Tofu curry only to have not a single cube of tofu in the curry. It was almost $15 for a small amount of what I didnt order, with a too- small amount of brown rice to go with the food. The curry tasted just okay, but Ive had better from other Thai restaurants in Austin. This seems like a good bakery/ice cream shop from the reviews, and I love that they pay a fair wage, but if you want the actual curry I would pass on this place.

I love the fact that this place has so many gluten free options, that the notations on their menu tell you if something ISN’T gluten free! Seriously. And they have desserts for DAYS! Nowhere else has so many options for me that I literally drive from Houston to come here. Also seriously. It’s a bonus that they have a chill, comfortable ambiance with super friendly people & games & books to entertain you. ❤️

Im definitely eating there again had great service and satisfactory COVID precautions

This is my favorite Thai food in Austin. Everything is super fresh, you can choose the darker dining room area or the more quiet side with the sunny windows that feels like a coffee shop. I dont know his name but the Nordic-looking bearded server is my favorite, hes really good.Dont miss the dessert/ice cream corner. Their ice creams (I think they are vegan/GF?) are just phenomenal. The coffee cake is also not to be missed.The green curry and the Thai chicken & waffles are the two dishes I talk about for days every time I eat them. They are kind of spiritual experience-good meals. Everything is very warm and filling.

Ordered tofu green curry with just green beans and broccoli and the pad kraw pow. after I picked up my order and brought it home the order was wrong. Green curry didnt have any tofu and added extra veggies that I specifically did not request.The pad kraw pow was flavorless and did not have any sauce. Black eyes pea tempeh would not recommend.Will not be returning.

Fried chicken and sticky rice, not what I expected, fried to death blackened and crushed bones. And no skin. Thai fried rice was ok, not authentic Thai taste. Plus prices are a bit high.

Best Thai food I ever had. Everything I have had here has been amazing. Really like that their no tip style so I hope their waiters are paid well.Got some really great ice cream there too!

The food is amazing! The coffee is amazing! The Thai tea is amazing! The staff is always friendly, and I love that they pay them a living wage! And a good feeling to support local business!

One of my favorite Thai places I’ve encountered in my life! Cute place with great food! Parking lot is small, but plenty of street parking nearby

Really fast Thai food here. We got the fried chicken appetizer which was phenomenal. It was really moist and flavorful. I had the green curry entree for my main and it is SPICY. In a good way though. Its also nice they they dont do tips here, so you know exactly how much everything will be.

Very delicious food. The best Thai food Ive had this far! The environment is very homey feeling. It feels like you are enjoying dinner at friends Aunts house in their dining room. There is alfresco seating. Parking is at premium but available and at no cost. Great prices. Lol, we enjoyed so much we forgot to take pictures. The pineapple fried rice and beer battered mushrooms are delicious and recommended.

One of the best parts of this neighborhood! Great food and they even have a little grocery with unique items!

The food here was amazing, I had the shrimp drunken noodles which were wonderful. The atmosphere was great...they dont do tipping because they pay their people a living wage and its not even very expensive. Overall it was an amazing experience.

Great food and the team has adjusted to make order online/curbside pickup as smooth as possible.

My favorite Thai place! If you can handle spicy the red curry hits the spot. Must try the desserts!

My favorite neighborhood restaurant in Austin! Amazingly good food and coconut ice cream. 100% recommend.

Coconut soup with chicken. Delicious!I swap the mushrooms for tomatoes, because I usually dont care for mushrooms.

Excellent food, no tips, amazing desserts, and a generally good vibe. I love the simple dishes like the Love Meal. Im pretty sure I could live on it alone. Highly recommend it.

Tasty home-style meals to eat at home.

The vibe of the place is great. The food is amazing especially the pad Thai.and people are very nice And have toys for baby which is convenient. I suggest it ❤️

Great food. Healthy & delicious options. Sometimes inconsistent in quality of meals served. That shouldn’t scare you away though. Never stop eating the vegan ice cream. It’s addicting!

The bakery/coffee shop section of this place is very accommodating to omnivores, vegans, gluten-free people, etc. I love the variety they have here. The food is decently good as well and THEY DONT ACCEPT TIPS HERE!! This means that the food is fairly priced, and they probably pay their workers a living wage, which is awesome.

This was one of the most fantastic meals that Ive had in a long time. Everything was so fresh and flavorful. The pad thai and yellow curry were mouth watering. Most items on the menu are gluten free which makes it even more of a rare gem! Definitely worth a visit.

I have eaten here many times and I continue to come mostly because of the amazing vegan ice cream and my partner really likes it here. The food here is good but could be better if it were more flavorful. I appreciate the fact that the owner pays the workers a living wage. It seems that they have increased the portion sizes and I now feel that Im getting a better value. My favorite thing about Thai Fresh is the Pandan leaf vegan ice cream which unique to them.

Pure delicious ness.. also they pay and treat their employees very well! Still, do tip, as it makes everyones day better :)

Its really good, but it is a bit more expensive compared to other similar restaurants.

Incredible thai food! Ive eaten here every time Ive been in Austin and have never been disappointed. The curries are great and pad thai is wonderful too! Must try if youre in Austin!

My favorite Thai restaurant in Austin. Bonus points for paying livable wages to employees and taking precautions very seriously these days.

This is my favorite restaurant in Austin. I’m not sure how authentic it is to traditional Thai cuisine, however the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is casual yet comfortable. The Sesame Coconut Shrimp Fritters are delectable, and their Thai Fried Rice “Kao Pad” is a staple.

The food is amazing, but, more importantly, the people make every meal a great experience! Thank you Will and Anneka for treating us with such kindness! They made great recommendations and exceeded my expectations for service.

I love Thai Fresh! Try their coffee and pad thai- theyre delicious. Parking can be a little tight, but the neighborhood is easy to park in if need be.

Ordered the noodle soup with shrimp. Flavor was a bit bland, and difficult to eat with the utensils provided (I didnt ask if they had other utensil choices). I ordered a side of rice to help soak up the liquid to make it easier to eat. The atmosphere is nice, customers were playing board games and just enjoying the place. I tried my friends pad Thai and it was really good, adult size order is pretty spicy.

A hidden gem for really good Thai food. Authentic, tasty, fresh ingredients, and a killer happy hour deal. My go to spot.
