Thai cuisine hits all the right notes: rich, spicy, sweet, and deeply flavorful. The Southeast Asian country offers up coconut-laced curries, spicy seared meats and vegetables, satisfying noodles, plus those good ol’ pad Thai dishes, if that’s what you’re into. Top it off with sticky rice desserts and Thai iced tea, and you’re set.

Here is Eater’s guide to Austin’s top Thai restaurant destinations. There are household staples like Titaya’s Thai Cuisine and Thai Fresh to casual spots like Madam Mam’s and Sap’s, and food trucks like Dee and Kiin Di.

For more Asian fare, check out Eater’s map of the best restaurants for Southeast Asian, South Asian, and Chinese cuisines, as well as the city’s spiciest dishes.
