Thai Taste — Restaurant in Austin

I went here for my birthday lunch. I was very excited to have some good Thai food. I ordered some new entrees. I also ordered a green curry with tofu , which is my comfort food. The service was not so wonderful. The lady would just drop off the food to our table quickly, no interaction. In fact, she left before she allowed us to say if we needed anything else. I asked for some Sriracha and again, she’d drop it off and did not ask if we needed anything else. Mind you, we were the only table there. When I went for a bite of my green curry, it was very watery in consistency. As a Thai food lover, I knew something was off so I requested to have it redone if possible. The server started to get defensive, “yeah..that’s how it is (speaking to the thin, water-like consistency of the curry)….” I was firm and she just took it away, with no signs of empathy. She came back and just dropped off the redone curry.. and somehow…it had more spice in it, my mouth was burning.

Overall, worst customer service and the food was not worth it. I’m sad that my birthday lunch was not a...

This place is honestly such a joke. I think they make up the prices and hours as they go. I called tonight at 9:21 pm to place an order for pick up since I live less than 5 minutes away and they close at 10. They didn't answer so I called again and got this:

TT: Thai Taste! We close already!

Me: But you're open until 10?

TT: No, Saturday we close 9:30. We been doing this way for over 2 year!

Me: Okay, it's 9:22.

TT: No, 9:30.

Me: Right, I'm saying it's 9:22 and you answered the phone saying you were already closed.

TT: Last call for food 9:15.

Me: Okay, well your website says you close at 10 today, so maybe you should update it if you've been closing at 9:30 on Saturdays for over 2 years.

TT: Website sometime not update.

Me: You updated your website with Thanksgiving specials in November, so...that's less than 2 years ago. And you can update your Google hours immediately.

TT: Okay miss! Close 9:30...

This place is simply excellent. Simple décor, good food, easy access - right next to HEB.

I've spent a good bit of time in Thailand and tried a dish called "Thom Kah Gai", which is basically coconut chicken soup, in about 30 different restaurants in Thailand.

This place makes it better than any of those, and it wasn't even on the menu. I walked in, sat down, and asked if they had it when I didn't see it on the menu. She said they could make it, no problem, and it was great! Not spicy, perfect flavor.

Additionally, I like how they don't blast the air conditioner, but use fans spaced throughout the room to give a nice breeze (they use AC, but it's not set for 65 degrees). It's comfortable. Much preferable for me.

The price was great as well. I had the special ordered food, and a coconut ice cream (best I've ever had, too... amazing. Tasted very coconut-y), and it was only $8.66. Amazing.

I'll be...
