The only problem with Super Thai is that they no longer serve the Thai taco.
If you ever ate a Thai taco, then you understand the criminal negligence Super Thai is imposing on the world by NOT serving this taco. For those that never ate the Thai taco, you will never get so close to Heaven while on Earth. Succulent ingredients, arousing textures, and more perfectly proportioned than Beyonce. Your first bite of a Thai taco is such a life changer, you start to forget core memories: your first kiss, the first time you drove a car, the second time you heard Phil Collins.
Super Thai says that they can't make the taco because the taco is too hard to make. If you're reading this, Super Thai, I ask you: what if cavemen said the wheel was too hard to make? If Thomas Edison got too frustrated when creating the lightbulb? If Stevie Wonder said, "I'm blind, I can't play the piano!" and never gave us the album "Songs in the Key of Life"? As a human race, we'd be worse off. That is the fate you have forsaken us all to by removing the Thai taco from your menu.
I don't want to give Super Thai a one-star rating. Despite the parking being a little rough, Super Thai is a perfectly respectable institution and deserves a much greater rating . But I believe a person or group should not only be measured alone by what they do. Action must be measured in the context of inaction, and the inaction on behalf of Super Thai in not offering their Thai taco is nothing short of a travesty. Be the change you seek in the world, Super Thai. Sometimes the right path is not the easy path, but the right path always, without fail, includes Thai tacos. God bless you, God bless the great country of Thailand, and God bless the United...
Read moreMy new favorite Thai place in Austin. Absolutely amazing food. The women working the front of house were delightful, the atmosphere was lovely, and while it was a little more expensive than some other Thai places I've been to, it's worth every penny.
We ordered golden rolls (egg rolls), chicken sate and yellow curry with tofu.
The egg rolls were crispy but not greasy, perfectly seasoned and they were awesome with the dipping sauce.
The chicken sate would have stood on its own. Didn't need.any sauce or anything. You got the taste of the grill, the taste of the chicken and the taste of the seasoning all married together. While it didn't need sauce, it was served with the same sweet sauce as the egg rolls but with some cucumber and red peppers in it and the BEST damn peanut sauce I have had. A little bit of spice, a little bit of sweet, a little bit of tang. Perfectly balanced. 10/10. Getting that again.
The yellow curry is my new favorite in town. The sauce had a little spice while being nice and sweet. We got it with tofu which is always my favorite because the tofu absorps the sauce. Sometimes when I eat yellow curry, the potatoes are underdone or underseasoned. Not so with this. Not so at all. The potatoes somehow had a butteriness on their own and when you ate them slathered in sauce, they were a sensational bite of food.
Go there on a date night. Enjoy the open kitchen. Love the food. You won't be...
Read moreThe food was good but the service and overall experience was such that we'd never come again.
We understand that many companies are understaffed these days, and weren't bothered by signs letting us know that they're understaffed and things could be slow. We like to support small companies and restaurants; we get it. But from the moment we entered the door, we felt like an unwanted inconvenience.
We didn't mind waiting for our food, but what we couldn't believe is that they brought everyone's food out at the same time except for one person in our party of 3. It was almost 20 minutes before the last person finally received their food. In an effort to be polite the rest of us waited for the last person to get their food before we all ate, swatting gnats to keep them from landing on our food while our meals got colder and colder.
And while a restaurant can do whatever they want with their tip policy (this restaurant adds an automatic 20% tip after 9:45), I don't think that a restaurant with proper food & service should struggle for tips...especially in a place like Austin. A policy like that ensures the staff doesn't have to care whether the guests are happy or not, and indicates to me that there are probably a good number of guests who leave with mixed feelings. Idk, but do people who are happy when they finish a meal really leave...
