Sala Thai Food

We've gone here a couple of times already - everything is always good. Favorites are the shrimp pad Thai and fried fish! The sauce that comes with the fried fish is super good! Note though she only takes cash/Venmo at the moment. Edit: pad Thai spice level 2 is spicy. It burns but still so good. Coconut smoothie is perfection!

Looks like they are now at 11300 Old San Antonio Rd Manchaca at the ‘Way Down South’ food truck park. This is the best Thai food I’ve had anywhere outside of Thailand! I have been to Thailand 3-4 times a year for the last 20 years and this place blew me away! So tasty and not drenched in oil. Just good seasoned food and friendly staff. Pricing is amazing for the portion size you get. Definitely recommend!

We found her at: 11300 Old San Antonio Rd Manchaca at the new ‘Way Down South’ food truck park that was recently built. When we arrived at the truck, we were greeted by the sweetest lady. She took down our order (pad thai) and our names and how spicy we wanted it to be (1, 2, or 3). I wasn’t sure what level I should choose so I went the medium route with a 2 and I tell you what, I’m sure glad I didn’t go for a 3. The spice level on a 2 was pretty spicy, but not to the point where it was unbearable to eat but it did leave me going for the water after a couple of bites or so (I’d get the 2 again). The actual flavor, irrelevant to the spice level was amazing, some of the best pad thai I’ve had in a minute! The noodles were done perfectly and had amazing texture! The chicken and tofu, in the pad thai, was also very tasty. The place they are currently parked at has plenty of parking and seating for when I gets less hot out! Overall, would recommend, great food, great location, friendly owner!

My mouth is still having a food orgasm hours later! No joke, the best Thai food I’ve had outside of Bangkok! So freaking good! The green Curry Chicken was mind blowing. Service was great and price is amazing for the portion sizes! Definitely recommend! PS: they may have moved locations. I went to it at the Old San Antonio Rd location.

Oui (the owner/chef) is super sweet. We’ve been once and she knew us by name. That says a lot about a business owner. Her food is probably some of the best Thai food I have had outside of Thailand. Portion size is huge, enough for two meals and very affordable. If you’re craving Thai food in south Austin, look no further!
