Had dinner on 6 Sep 2025. The wait to be seated was a bit long and the place was crowded. But the service and food were worth waiting for. Great service, delicious food made with individual requests in mind and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

Titaya has been in Austin for years now, and Without a doubt, offers the best and most authentic Thai food I've had in the USA. From the moment we sat down, it was clear we were in for a treat. The restaurant is also reasonably priced, making the incredible quality even more impressive. The service was remarkably fast, without any compromise on the top-notch food quality. We highly recommend indulging in their classic fish specialities. The Pad Cha, Chuu Chee Pla, and Pla Sum Rod were all phenomenal, with sauces that were truly out of this world – bursting with fresh and vibrant flavors. We also started with the chicken skewers appetizer, which was absolutely excellent and perfectly prepared. The Tom Yum soup lived up to its reputation – incredibly spicy and utterly delicious, a must-try for those who enjoy a good kick. To perfectly conclude our meal, the mango sticky rice was the ideal sweet ending. And don't miss their ice Thai tea, which was strong, refreshing, and incredibly delicious. Overall, my experience at Titaya was exceptional. If you're looking for truly authentic Thai flavors, fast and friendly service, and incredible value in Austin, look no further. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant!

I came here for a Saturday night dinner with my family. We loved the food and our server was fantastic. The food was not only delicious but it came out so quickly! My favorite dishes were Pad Woon Sen, taro fritters, and the papaya salad. The Pad Woon Sen was flavorful and had a slight smokiness to it. The taro fritters were perfectly crispy and had a tasty batter. The papaya salad was fresh and spicy! The shrimp in the papaya salad were fat and sweet. Other dishes we enjoyed: basil fried rice, tom yum soup, chu chee pla, and fish cake appetizer. The pad see ew was just ok. The portions were on the smaller side but matched the price. We had a party of 5 and got 5 entrees and 2 appetizers. Overall, I would come here again! I loved the food and service. The dishes tasted authentic and flavorful. I would love to explore more of the dishes on the menu. This is a great place to take your family to, people visiting from out of town, or a tasty dinner date. The atmosphere is relaxing and calm and the restaurant is beautifully decorated.

Absolutely fantastic Thai food. I had honestly given up on enjoying Thai food in Austin till we tried this gem. The staff is polite, efficient and knowledgeable and the restaurant was bustling. Unique items I recommend trying are the sweet corn taro fritters and black rice pudding! Can’t wait to come back during mango season for the sweet sticky rice!

Local Guide, Kelly Nguyen's review of Titaya motivated me to drive over to Hyde Park and check out this Thai hot spot.  Here's how her review began: "Titaya has been in Austin for years now and, without a doubt, offers the best and most authentic Thai food I've had in the USA. From the moment we sat down, it was clear we were in for a treat. The restaurant is also reasonably priced, making the incredible quality even more impressive." I have never met Kelly, but I think we would be culinary buds. I chose the Satay Gai ($10.50) as an appetizer.  The marinated chicken skewers are served with peanut sauce and a cucumber relish.  It was a nice light appetizer that I paired with another Titaya favorite. Tom Yum soup. If you haven't tried it, the soup is a spicy broth with chili, lime, lemongrass, yellow onion, tomatoes, and mushrooms.  You can have it with chicken shrimp or tofu (I chose shirmp $7.95). It is available in a bowl or firepot.  If y'all appreciate Thai heat, this will fire your taste buds up in a hurry. For the entrées, I tried two classics.  If you ask most people what they know about Thai cuisine in America, they will probably mention Pad Thai ($13.50 including chicken)  The dish is perfect for my wife, because she has a low tolerance for heat, and she loves the signature sweet tamarind sauce.  I really enjoyed Titaya's take on it. For my meal, I chose Chuu Chee Pla ($19.95) off Titaya's Classic Favorites menu. A crispy Basa fish fillet is topped with a coconut red curry sauce.  The heat is more subtle coming in at the end of each bite after delivering a sweet creamy taste at the start. Overall, the meal was excellent.  We already have our next meal picked out - Hung Lay Buns ($10.50) and Spinach Dumplings ($7.50) as appetizers and the Pad Cha ($19.95) and Pad See Eiw ($13.50 with chicken) for the main meal. There is so much good Thai food and so little time! This place is a must stop. Add it now to your list! #MattGoodEats

Thebest noodlesever I’ve never enjoyed noodle dishes at Thai restaurants until I ate at Titaya’s. We came here on a friend’s recommendation and I’m so glad that we’ve found our favorite Thai restaurant in the Austin area now. We got the Pad See Eiw (one with tofu, another with chicken) and it was sooooo good we ordered Pad Kee Mao to go! The Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk was OK and not something I’d order again (strong coffee though). The black rice pudding is a barely-sweet kind of a dessert and definitely an acquired taste if you’re not used to rice in desserts (kind of like a rice kheer, almost). We’ll be back for the noodles
