Spoon + Fork Kitchen — Restaurant in Dripping Springs

I am so glad we found this restaurant! The first impression was a happy, smiling greeting (which says a lot with a masked face). She was very patient when she had to repeat herself because I couldn't hear. We didn't order any, but while I was standing there, I observed a pretty good wine selection and a pleasant atmosphere. I'm looking forward to a date night here! We got a mango tea to drink on the way home. It was mildly sweet and fizzy. I really enjoyed it, a great cocktail substitute. (If I'm in the area, I may stop in just to get the drink!) When we got home we were extremely impressed by the thoughtfulness in the packing! The veggies, rice, and noodles were wrapped in foil and very hot even after 30 minutes to get home. The fried foods were wrapped enough to stay warm but an edge of the container had been opened so that it didn't get soggy. I got the steak entree despite low expectations (take out steak is usually very meh and honestly, beef at most Asian restaurants isn't great in my opinion). It was tender and cooked perfectly, the fish sauce was very tasty! I've had steakhouse take out that didn't come out as well! My husband got the orange chicken and was pleasantly surprised that instead of the usual gelatinous orange sauce it came with a milder orange but very dynamic sauce (dynamic was his word). I wish I had thought to try it. The kids got egg rolls and pineapple fried rice. They didn't give a review but judging by how much they ate of it, it must have been really good! Tom Kha soup was pretty good, I think the only thing it needed was a bit if fresh lime wedge to squeeze in. I plan to test that theory for breakfast tomorrow with my left over soup.

This was worth our drive and I look forward to trying other food and maybe a nice date in the near...

Was super excited to finally try this place and left pretty disappointed. Ive eaten at countless Thai restaurants from dives to expensive across the US and this was ‘Meh’ at best completely unremarkable. Ordered the Spicy Chicken Wings, they were very heavy on the flour dredge, all I could taste was fried flour even with their “spicy sauce”. I ordered the Mongolian Beef, and while the meat was thinly sliced, it tasted like it had been parboiled then finished cooking in wok resulting in steamed beef. Not sure how they cooked it but grey/muted brown flavorless beef is what was served. Ive never had Mongolian beef prepared/served the way it was here, very unappealing, flat in flavor and just not good. The rice also fell short, it was sticky, mushy in texture vs light, fluffy and aromatic which is signature of jasmine rice, this tasted like overcooked plain white rice. My husband ordered the Cashew chicken and he was also disappointed. Again the chicken tasted as if it had been boiled then tossed with veggies and topped with a runny sauce, it was rubbery in texture and also pretty flavorless. This tasted more like Thai fast food than restaraunt quality. The service was not great either, the restaraunt looked pretty disorganized while our server did take care of us everything felt chaotic and rushed, not to mention the edge of the table was dirty and sticky. Sad to say we will need to keep driving into Austin for...

Some of the best Thai food I've ever had outside of Thailand!! Because of city zoning and landlord requirements, you may miss this little gem, but take the time to seek it out and you will not be left disappointed. Stop in after a movie at Sky, or just as you're making dinner plans kn Austin; I'd go so far as to say, I'd drive from Austin to eat here (seriously, no Austin crowds, and the food would stand toe to toe with any Austin establishment.) We had the dumplings which melted in your mouth, followed by green curry and drunken noodles. Flawless on all counts, and even the sticky rice with coconut ice cream was a real stand out! Service was top notch, and the atmosphere is clean and modern, which makes for a refreshing change from the typical Thai decor at most restaurants. The owners are not only friendly, but very interactive with their guests, providing a wealth of information on the menu, and offering up suggestions to the newly initiated as well as the veteran diner with a warm and inviting atmosphere. We will be back - most likely every week, if not more!!! You have to check this place out!!

We ment to add photos, but the plates were clean, and bellies full before giving it a second thought. Presentation...
