Post by tswI'm new to austin. What's the most authentic (not watered down for
American tastes) Thai restaurant in Austin?
I can't really attest to authenticity either, but I just don't think anyone
can beat Satay, if only for the unusuality of some of their dishes (which
are a mix of Thai, Malaysian, Vietnamese). They have bitchin' curries, and
the kampung udang (I think that's how you spell it), is one of the most
phenomenal joys you will ever experience. It is served in a "hor mok" plate
so you have to dine in, but that is half the fun! Order some ridiculous
fruity drinks, and I would advise you to stick with the curries, as a lot of
things are the menu may be a little too adventurous or just plain weird.
They also have a to-go joint up open next door during the day so it's even
easier to just grab some lunch.
I think the address is 3202 W. Anderson Ln. (it's at the NW intersection of
Shoal Creek Blvd. and Anderson Ln.)
