Great service. The restaurant is nicely decorated. The second floor bar area is very nice with a distant view of downtown. The food had unique flavor profiles and textures compared to traditional Thai restaurants but it was still good. Just a note: If you are in a large group, some of the seating was a bit unique. We were a group of 8 and it was a square table with a 3 person bench style on each side. So, we had a side of 3 others at the large table that were a different group. Additionally, slow down as you are approaching the location, especially at night. It is a standalone building and is a bit dark with only a small lit sign. Enjoy!

I can’t believe how nice of an experience I had here! This is one of the most gorgeous places to enjoy food with good company.
The service was super friendly, the atmosphere is aesthetically pleasing, and the food? The food!!!
I’m quite impressed! I just finished a month long fast and I was blown away by the flavorful oysters and fried chicken I chose. My dear friend let me try her choice of the yellow curry and it has such a unique flavor that I could never have expected.
I’ll be raving about my first visit to Sway for a very long time. Thank you team Sway!

Very good Thai food that's reasonably priced at a beautiful communal space.

Recommendations:
- baby bok choy: The leaves were tender yet crisp in a great amount of sauce. You can choose on bites when to go green and when to go saucy. When I go back I'd order one for myself..
- son in law. The texture medley was balanced well between the creamy egg, the tender meat, and the melty rice. I would call the flavor strong yet basic, focusing on the meat's spices. The rest of the dish props up those Thai flavors with extra texture. One odd note: I would've thought this came out hot in a claypot. Maybe it's the look, but I was a tiny bit disappointed not to get a charred rice at the bottom.
- shumai dumplings: I've never had fried shumai. They were good here, popping like a normal shumai and getting extra crunch from the fry. I would like to see these not fried for comparison. I suspect what I like the most is actually the really good filling moreso than the texture of the fry.
- tom kha: Herbs are the star of this soup's tastes, as desired and expected by me. The chicken was melty and the coconut was appropriate, not too heavy. Very good, another dish I wouldn't mind polishing off myself.

The only dish I thought was meh was the pad thai. I know pad thai is sweet but this was a little too sweet. Also, I was surprised not to be able to have pad thai with prawns or other crustaceans.

From the dessert side, the mango sticky rice was normal and the thai tea affogato was decent with a very very good almond cookie.

From the drinks side, I think they're really balanced. The chiang mai is your classic fancy nice cocktail. I also got the phuket your troubles which was more welcoming as a drink but IMO should have been strained rather than iced.

The space is gorgeous, I wish I had taken photos. Do not shy away from the communal square tables. That's where you're supposed to enjoy your food. If you're scared about it, don't worry. Everyone is rooting for you with open arms. Get to a square table and enjoy the Thai flavors.

My other qualm is that IMO a couple of dishes could have had more heat. The curry, the brussels sprouts, the tom kha, all could've used a little more heat.

Overall, I recommend going, I'd go again, and I'm interested both in other dishes as well as categorizing the flavors of those dishes.

YOU MUST GET THE SON IN LAW, PHENOMENAL. I didn’t even think I would like it and I enjoyed it more than my own meal (beef fried rice that was also very good, but packed a lot of heat). I would pass on the calamari next time and try something else, it’s not bad, but it’s also not impressive.music was a little strange for the atmosphere, but service was amazing. I can’t wait to come back!

The son in law is a must have it was so flavorful. The oysters were amazing and unique; some of the best I have ever tried. The Brussel sprouts were perfectly charred. Menu offering all looked great!

This is only my personal experience, but all 3 items I tried here were subpar:
- $27 Pad thai noodles were so undercooked that they were stiff (see photo)
- $16 Calamari was thin and dry (see photo)
- $12 Veggie dumplings' top portion was too thick and undercooked inside (see the white dot in photo)
Flavor-wise, they were all relatively good (Pad thai was a little sour for my taste), so it was probably an execution or seafood supply quality issue and not the head chef's fault. The manager was very nice and comped the inedible Pad thai. Bartenders were attentive and kind. Unfortunately, good hospitality doesn't make up for the food, especially at these prices.

I wanted to like Sway, I really did. The atmosphere is definitely a plus – low lighting and a chill vibe make it a great spot for a date or after-work drinks. However, the food unfortunately didn't live up to expectations, especially considering the price point.
The best dish I tried was the Son-in-Law Braised Pork Rice Bowl. While the flavor was good, it was overwhelmingly fatty. Delicious, but almost too rich. The Chicken Fried Rice was a 6 out of 10 at best. The flavor was overpowering and I couldn't finish it.
The Brussels Sprouts were a major disappointment. They were overcooked – not to my taste at all – and at $10, seriously overpriced. You'd honestly be better off buying a bag of frozen Brussels sprouts from HEB and cooking them at home. The Spring Vegetable Roll was another example of overpriced small portions. It was cut into tiny pieces and definitely not worth the $90 price tag for the meal overall.
Finally, I tried the Mezcal Margarita, but the smoky flavor wasn't to my liking. Overall, while Sway has a great ambiance, the food quality and portion sizes don't justify the prices.

First time dining here, loved it. Everything on the menu sounded excellent, we went with son in law, noodles, tofu, green mango salad, brussel sprouts and some desserts. 10/10. Would recommend sharing with the group everything including desserts :)

Food was fantastic, especially the Pad Thai and the pork and shrimp starter. For dessert, we tried the mango sticky rice, which could have been slightly better. Aside from that, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely return.

Sway offers fun Thai dishes with a twist. We've been here a couple time and the last one was to enjoy their happy hour. They offer half off cocktails which is an excellent deal. Their cocktails are pretty good - I enjoyed their margarita.

I've found that when dining here about half the dishes are incredible, and the other half are just ok, which is kind of strange. We were blown away by the veggie tempura and the vegetarian fried rice - awesome flavors and textures. The mango sticky rice was also pretty good. But the pao mussels and green curry didn't taste right.

Service has always been excellent.

I'd definitely give Sway another try but it can be strange when some dishes are so WOW and others are just meh.

주차장도 넓고 음식도 맛있는데 향 냄새가 넘 강한개 단점입니다.
Son in law 는 한국 갈비찜으로 맛있어요. 커리도 맛있고 슈마이는 한국에서 먹던 것과 다른게 그것도 좋았어요. Calamari 는 좀 튀김옷이 별로 였어요. 대체로 음식은 괸찬습니다

2nd visit to Sway with just my wife. As fun and engaging as before. Had to get the brussel sprouts again. The Emperor is a great take on an Old Fashioned. Excellent light and friendly ambience.

Unique Thai experience. Food has unusual flavors.

How come i dined here once and you continue to send me annoying spam emails. What happened to eating at a restaurant and not getting on their dumb marketing list.

Great service. The restaurant is nicely decorated. The second floor bar area is very nice with a distant view of downtown.

Love sway great vibes, great food, great service!

We’ve been coming to Sway since 10 years ago and you can definitley tell why it’s still here. The food is superb, the food is outstanding to say the least. You cannot miss this place. The best thai food and drinks you can find in Austin!!! Don’t miss it!

So delicious, the service, food, and music was great! Everything we ate was fantastic, definitely coming back!

The last couple of visits to sway have been disappointing from service standpoint. We went again last night, and multiple issues arose. Our vegetarian dish came out with seafood which isn’t the issue but it took such a long time for them to make the correct dish, the rice had already gotten cold by the time it arrived. I had asked three separate times for additional sauce and it came at the very end of the meal, with an additional charge. Service was slow, and we ultimately had to ask the hostess for the check since no wait staff was around during the end of our meal. We do genuinely enjoy the food there but we had out of town guests visiting and they left with a bad impression. I do hope they are able improve in the service department.

Had another great dinner at Sway! The entire staff was incredibly friendly and gave great suggestions on what to order. Our favorite dishes were the crab salad and Panang curry.

Fast service, interesting flavors to the food, happy hour is a great deal — this is not exactly in my every day realm but I will be back when I can for SURE! Everything was so fast and delicious. Our waitress was so great with her recommendations & vibes were so fun with every person that served us! Thank you Jesse B, and Sway for a great Friday!

Great place and amazing happy hour!

Awesome food, service and ambient. Tom Kha Gai was on point 🔥🔥

Great food and service! Would visit again!

Amazing!!

Excellent meal, first class service

We absolutely love eating at sway. This was my second time to eat here this week. Earlier this week I came for a girls night, sat at the high tops. Tonight I came for a date night and sat at the bar. Tonight our faves were the po-pea jay (spring rolls), Tom kha gai soup, Brussels sprout, and pad Thai. Great atmosphere, quick service, wonderful staff.

Outstanding experience and food with great service. Highly recommend!

Amazing

A favorite for date night. The food is incredible, highly recommend the shu mai, brussel sprouts, son in law, and the fried rices.

Amazing staff, Amazing food, Amazon vybz!!!

Love this place! Even better customer service from hostess!

Great food and fun atmosphere! The Tom Kha Gai is truly incredible… a must get. The crispy pork and shrimp shumai is also delicious. Definitely coming back!

Loved the food, amazing mango green salad!

Very good sticky rice. It was very tasty and delicious.

Excellent food and very nice service! Will come again for sure!

Bronzino is amazing!

I’ve been to Sway about 3 times now, and I’m giving them 4 stars and the benefit of the doubt.

Favorite Dishes: Salt and Pepper Tofu, Son In Law, Tiger Cry, Pad Thai, all the curries lol

Drinks: All of them are delicious—both non/alcoholic. I’m a lychee lover!

Service has generally been very good (see end of my post). Lots of energy, great explanations of the menu, and very kind people.

Atmosphere: I love dining downstairs, and the upstairs is good too, but just a little loud. We felt like we were yelling actually 😅 But!! Some people love that vibe!

My first two experiences at Sway was like “yeah, this place is still an Austin staple and I’ll definitely come back”. Now, I’m not so sure. Our $32 blue crab fried rice, though cooked well, wasn’t worth the price. Don’t get it, not enough crab, like at all. Our pad thai was SO overcooked. This made us really sad!

Lastly, our waitress put our leftovers in the same container… Granted, we didn’t have that many leftovers, but when we got home, it was mixed together, Panda Express bowl style. No shade to panda—but I would have loved to see Sway separate the dishes, especially if I’m dropping $100+ on dinner.

Not sure if we’ll be back, but at least my first 2 experiences were great!

First time dining here, loved it. Everything on the menu sounded excellent, we went with son in law, noodles, tofu, green mango salad, brussel sprouts and some desserts. 10/10. Would recommend sharing with the group everything including desserts :)

Food & service was great! Everything was super delicious.

This modern Thai restaurant offers a contemporary dining experience with a menu that blends traditional Thai flavors with innovative twists. Diners appreciate the communal seating, which fosters a social atmosphere, and the open kitchen that allows guests to observe the culinary craftsmanship. Signature dishes include the Jungle Curry and Son-in-Law, both celebrated for their rich, complex flavors. The rooftop bar provides a scenic view, making it a popular spot for evening cocktails. 

I feel this is one of the most underrated restaurants in Austin. Ambiance, service and food (and cocktails) are all excellent AND there's parking. Beautiful space, highly recommend.

Went for happy hour and drinks were fantastic as well as the apps. Try the dumplings which really stood out.

The Son-In-Law is a GO-TO, but everything here is great! Comfy cozy vibes with good views too- an Austin locals favorite!!

Have had consistently good experiences at Sway. A great spot for dinner and drinks.

Always a lovely experience!

Loved it! Food came out fast, service was friendly, can’t ask for more!!

Great ambience!! Good hospitality recommend place for sure

Tried chicken fried rice and pad Thai - they’re amazing.

This is my favorite restaurant in Austin! Love bringing new people here and trying new dishes each time! It’s got a really cool vibe with the communal tables and the tastiest Thai I’ve ever had!

Super tasty food! The drinks are especially very good. I love the panang curry. Very nice service and atmosphere.

Amazing food! We have been coming here for two years and this is our favorite place. Emily is an amazing server, and every food and drink item is amazing! Don’t miss out on the son in law and the happy hour (the best in Austin)

Soooooo good! 🤤 Make sure to order the Son-In-Law!

Dont skip the Son in law or the coconut lime house made soda 😍 This is a can’t miss in ATX!

One of the best restaurants in town.
Delicious food and drinks, great atmosphere.

Amazing food. Highly recommend!

This is only my personal experience, but all 3 items I tried here were subpar:
- $27 Pad thai noodles were so undercooked that they were stiff (see photo)
- $16 Calamari was thin and dry (see photo)

The manager was very nice and comped the inedible Pad thai. Bartenders were attentive and kind. Unfortunately, good hospitality doesn't make up for the food, especially at these prices.

Modern take on Thai. Only got try apps, drinks and deserts and thought everything was good. Service is great and the views from upstairs are amazing

My husband and I came for my birthday (and much needed parents night out!) we sat upstairs at the bar and Kayla took care of us. She was such a gem, gave great recommendations and made the best drinks! You can’t go wrong with anything here but we love the blue crab fried rice! The calamari and mango salad are also delicious and everything is so fresh!

Kayla, Debbie, and the rest of the staff we met were awesome and took great care of us. Sat upstairs at the covered rooftop bar, celebrating my wife's birthday. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! We've been coming here for years and quality and high level of service still unmatched. Thankful for the wonderful nite and memories, thanks y'all!

Phenomenal service. Delicious food. Great portion sizes. All menu items pair well with eachother (drinks and food). Highly reccomend!

One of the best dining experiences in Austin, with a great view and beautiful modern architecture.

Always such a good experience at Sway! The food is so good and a great spot for dry January. Make sure to call and ask for the roof!

Such a great date night. The atmosphere and noise level were perfect to relax. We ordered the hot sake, calamari and chicken pad Thai. Delicious. We will be back.

We haven’t been to sway in 10 years (kids have a way of changing your social plans). Tonight was wonderful and we will be back asap. Our server Anna was great and the flavors of everything was just as magical as a decade ago. Highly recommend.

The food was absolutely delicious, and you can tell they use really fresh ingredients. The vibe was cozy and welcoming, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Definitely a place I’d recommend and can’t wait to visit again!

We had a great visit and a lovely meal. We sat at the bar and got to see the lights of the city turn on.

I really enjoyed the view from the top of Sway! Debbie, our host was so receptive upon arrival and she found us a cutest little corner on top. The food was amazing as always, and the service and staff, friendly and smiling, like the Asian way;). I can’t wait to come back and try many more menu items.

The view from upstairs is a hidden gem showcasing downtown!

Great spot for a date night !

Great spot for a date night.

Awesome food and great service

Live for the son in law dish!

Always an amazing meal. Great service & atmosphere!

Sat at the bar and had an amazing experience with the bartender. We ordered the whole fried Bronzino and we’re confused how to eat it. The bartender was so patient and filleted it for us and we had an amazing night.
Cocktails, A+ wiine list A+ food A+
Be sure to dance on your way out with the hostess

Great place to eat. Food is fantastic, stellar service and nice vibe. Would highly recommend it.

Awesome food and great service! A must for anyone looking for a cool atmosphere and delicious food!

Let me start by saying that the food was fantastic! Docking a star because I'm personally not a fan of the huge tables. I went with a date and we got a corner. It was lovely and I have no complaints about the experience. That being said, we had a group of 8 show up and they were being sat at our table. They chose to go outside instead. Seemed like they thought it might be awkward to intrude. That or the huge table would make it difficult for them to interact. Had they stayed, it may have made our meal a little more awkward. Hard to say. Anyway, that's my single complaint.

Now as far as the food and service? Fantastic! We like to get a lot and pick at everything. We tried the oysters, some sort of fried dumpling, and the mango salad for appetizers. The oysters were top notch and absolutely delicious. The fried dumplings had great flavor, but were a little heavier than what I was wanting, so not my favorite. The mango salad was delightful and refreshing.

For the main course, we got the son in law and the jungle curry. Both insanely good, but the son in law was definitely the stand out. I've been thinking about it all day the next day. Recommend asking for an extra egg if you're splitting it. That's definitely the move.

Overall, huge fan of sway. The communal seating isn't my favorite thing, but don't let that turn you off from trying it. The food more than makes up for it!

Unplanned visit. Lovely atmosphere, great food, and great service!

Fantastic food and service, especially from Deb and Chelsea!

I ordered online for the first time after hearing so many great things about the food. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The menu doesn’t indicate whether dishes are mild, medium, or very spicy, and the food turned out to be extremely spicy—too much to enjoy.

I called the restaurant to share my feedback, but their response was dismissive. They claimed no one has ever complained about the spice level and suggested that I shouldn’t order online for the first time, advising me to dine in next time instead. That response left me confused and disappointed.

On top of that, the sticky rice we ordered wasn’t sticky at all and lacked any coconut flavor, which was really unexpected. Spending $75 on pad Thai, rice, and short rib curry dishes that we couldn’t enjoy felt like a complete waste. Clear spice level indicators and better customer service would have made a big difference. Do better Sway.

Thai tea affogato was delicious!

Great customer service from the entire staff! The food was prepared to perfection! Everything was absolutely delicious! Really enjoyed the ambiance. Everyone was very welcoming and professional at the same time. Our server Anna was amazing and enhanced our dining experience! Had a wonderful time with my family!

Definitely worth the trip out to Bee Caves!

Great spot for a birthday dinner! Had an amazing red snapper and 100% will be back!

Food was really good and I liked the sodas/mocktails! The price was very reasonable too.

The bok Choy, son in law, and crab fried rice were amazing!

Love eating here. Get the son in law!

Great food, service and ambiance- the bok choy appetizer was excellent.

We love Sway! Amazing food, great atmosphere, super helpful, and a fun place to go for birthdays! And kid friendly!!

Such a gym in Westlake

Food and atmosphere were great as well as our sever Ana

delicious and cool place

Food, Service, ambiance 10/10

Delicious food, amazing atmosphere, and incredible staff!

Food and service excellent. Son in Law, tiger dry, curry, drinks were all great

BRING BACK THE OG GREEN CURRY!
We loveeeed the original green curry and that was our driving factor to keep coming back to this place.
Whenever I am feeling under the weather, the only food I crave is the green curry and then y’all went ahead and changed it. Not that the new recipe isn’t good but the old recipe was perfect.
We had the green curry and the jungle curry this time for dinner and both were very good.
We also had the everything cookie for dessert which was meh.
We went for Sunday night dinner and the place was barely half full but the service was super slow.
I’ve always enjoyed sway and we know we will be back but please bring back the green curry!!!

Hopefully it was a misunderstanding, but my entry, the jungle curry, never arrived. The server claimed I didn’t order it. Dry disappointing.

The Brussels sprouts were a delightful surprise. Often underrated, they were roasted to perfection with just the right balance of crispiness on the outside while remaining tender and juicy inside. The caramelization brought out a depth of flavor, and the slight bitterness of the sprouts paired beautifully with the fish.

But the real star of the dish? The blue crab fried rice. This was the ultimate comfort food, elevated by the richness of fresh blue crab. The rice was fluffy and lightly seasoned, with the crab meat adding a subtle sweetness and delicate brininess that tied the whole dish together. The fried rice had the perfect amount of umami, and each grain was coated with just the right amount of wok flavor — savory, aromatic, and satisfying.

This is my favorite restaurant in Austin, incredible food!

Great dinner! Everything was so awesome! Loved the curry!

Signature soup was fabulous. The blue crab rice also excellent. Snapper meh.

everyone you meet here is so kind, also debbie is precious and the best 🤗🫶🏽✨

The atmosphere, the vibe, the food, the view, it's a must visit in Austin.

Coffee martini but with repasado !
Then
Crab fried rice!

Great design, ambiance and service. The food was really underwhelming. The one thing we liked was the pork shu mai appetizer. The calamari was overcooked and cold upon arrival, the panang short rib was fine but didn’t have much protein at all, there was something off on the pad thai like a vinegar flavor or maybe too much fish sauce. We continued with cookies because the combo sounded great but they didn’t even taste good. I had heard so many rave reviews and was excited to finally get here but did not meet expectations unfortunately.

Short Rib Curry was amazing! Everything we tried was delicious. Excellent service. Will definitely be back!

Vibe is good! Most certainly very far away from authentic thai food. Had high expectations.

I was a frequent visitor of Sway. I love that they have allergy-friendly foods. However, they have removed the gluten free fried chicken from the menu which was a cult favorite and the only food I was willing to drive over 30 minutes to get, so unfortunately I don’t think I will be back again 😔

The problem is this place is inconsistent. Don’t come here and like a meal because they’ll just change it (and ruin) the dish.

Blue crab fried rice used to be awesome here. Fresh peas. Garlicky. Perfect. Now it’s some nasty pilaf looking thing and it’s really basic now and with pineapple? Sad.

Jungle curry. Used to be made with brisket. It was delicious and super spicy. Now it uses cheap shredded chicken, is more flat flavor and more mild. Ruined.

Hey Sway, the son in law is still good so could you please ruin it? That’d be on brand.

I’m done with this place as this has happened over and over through the years.

Not worth it based on the reviews.

The ambience was too noisy, which made it hard to enjoy our meal. I had a reservation, and when I reached the front desk, they asked if there was a party at our table, and I mentioned it was a birthday. They said they’d put up a name board and offer a complimentary dessert at the end. While we did get the name board, the dessert never arrived.

We ordered dumplings, veg fried rice, chicken pad, black magic kombucha, and a secret drink (green tea), but none of the dishes tasted good. The quality was poor, and the quantity was even worse, especially considering how overpriced everything was. Definitely not worth it for what we paid.

Absolutely love this place! Delicious cocktails and an affordable HH, plus an awesome view of downtown.

I loved my pad Thai. I've never had such tender chicken in a pad Thai before. It was delicious. The leftovers were even delicious, too.

The soda had real ginger in it that I could taste and I am thankful for that as it's just what I wanted.

I got to try the bok choy and the brussel sprouts and they were both very good.

Why 4/5 stars is it was super confusing to have dish after dish show up and the waitstaff didn't have patience to find out who ordered it at our table, so we ended up with dishes people reordered (I think so, I was part of a large group) and that's just a lot of chaos that doesn't have to be that way.

Fantastic food and great service. Will come again!

Wonderful place to eat

Great ambiance, service, and food!

Love the food. Tiger Cry is my favorite. Great spot in the neighborhood.

Wonderful atmosphere and food was great. Love the view

Great food and service!

Make sure you get the son-in-law!

Great menu - awesome drinks. Would recommend for any occasion.

So glad we found this place! Amazing menu, will bring family here when they're in town

Excellent food and great people!

Loved it! Happy Hour is amazing! Will definitely be back.

Fabulous patio & happy hour deals!

Had a great experience with lovely views of the city from the rooftop bar. Had the pad Thai with brisket and the Brussel sprouts. Both delicious.

So yummy, though we would have liked larger portions. Atmosphere was great and service was great.

Enjoyable, high end, take on primarily Thai food. Eating at communal tables is unusual at this price point but you do get to meet your fellow diners. Our service was efficient and proficient; our server took good care of us.

The food is exceptional and many rungs higher than your standard Thai food. Stay clear of the crispy Shu Mai, they are small hard and if you can spot the shrimp and pork you're a better diner than me!

Atmosphere is nice, service is ok. We ordered tiger-cry with medium, but it came back mwdium-rare. We have to send it back so that they get cooked slightly more. (It was good then).. The pad Thai sauce was great, but the noodles themselves are pretty stiff, almost rubbery, very hard to eat. When asking server, she told us it is because it is rice noodle :)

Their sauces are excellent, the food can be better.

Food was way too salty. Multiple dishes. And I generally like salty food.

Over priced for what it is. Have had better Thai for 1/4th the price in Austin, Houston, and Dallas.

Starts (& ends) with th’amaZING girlz up front 💥

Very sweet waitress!! Gosh I wish I remembered her name, but she was wearing pig tails! Amazing oysters and dumplings! Big fan of the Key Lime Crush cocktail.

Great view and wonderful service! Staff are very nice and welcoming . Recommend the oysters!

Had a lovely experience at Sway! We appreciated the service, especially from Courtney, Debbie, and Chelsea (our server). The food was delicious and met our needs being GF. Can’t wait to go back!

awesome fun vibe upstairs and loved the GF and vegan options!

I love Sway and it’s one of the only nice restaurants in Westlake. The food is amazing and I love the cocktails. Great ambience.

Favorite dinner spot in Westlake! Delicious and reasonable for a nice date night.

The food was bomb as always. The pad Thai is next level.
The hostesses took such good care of us. We love Gina and Debbie!

We had such a delightful experience celebrating our 15th anniversary at Sway Austin. Zach, Megan, and the entire team made us feel so special. We will definitely be back.

Nice place for some drinks and the food is delicious, specially the 'son in law's dish. Service is great and friendly. If you are having food I recomend eat inside.

Favorite new spot in Austin!!!!

Our server (Mason, if I remember correctly) really knew the menu and answered all of our questions promptly and effectively. I was brought a Thai iced coffee instead of a Thai iced tea at first, but because of the confusion, Mason took it off of our bill (very kind). Didn't get any pictures of the food because we just had to dig in. Our entrees were the Tom Kha Gai and the 1 pound market fish. The soup was delicious, but a bit spicy for my taste, and I wished it had more chicken. My partner's fish was overpriced for what came with it. $55 for one whole 1 pound fish, pickled watermelon, charred bok choy, and a bowl of rice. It was good, just not an amazing dish for the price. I guess we were paying for the experience, because it is a beautiful restaurant.

This is not like the traditional taste, and the flavor is too strong. If it's spicy, it's too spicy. The waitress doesn't say anything before you order. Finally, the restaurant looks good and so does the food, but the flavors are far from what was expected.

Food was phenomenal, service was friendly from everyone we encountered, and the space is well designed. A new favorite in Austin.

This place has been on my list to visit, so imagine my excitement when my bf and I were invited to a friend's birthday dinner here..

Sadly, this was the worst experience ever.. what a disappointment and total letdown..

6 of our party of 9 got there first and were seated to our reserved table. We were told they had ordered drinks already.. our waitress came over and talked to the 3 of us who just came and sat down.. while very nice and helpful explaining the menu, she failed to let us know one huge important information your customers should know, specifically first time guests.. that was her first opportunity.. second opportunity was when she started taking our food orders.. she asked if we were "ordering separately (separate meals, I assume) or as a group" (verbatim).. we all replied ordering separately, but will share with each other..

I know your website says communal seating, but no mention of one bill for the whole table.. this is where the worst happened.. we did enjoy the meal and staff were very attentive during dinner, but when it came to get our checks, we were just given one . We asked for separate checks (as mentioned during ordering of food) but we're told that your restaurant does not do separate checks and that the bill will have to be divided into 9 equal parts and can give our cards to be charged separately.. UMM WHAT??

Tell me why?? I have never come across a restaurant that MANDATES this.. it's stupid and ridiculous.. for this simple fact: I ordered the green mango salad, satay, and a dirty Martini.. our bill was almost $700 and if you divide this by 9, is that worth the food that I ordered?? Furthermore, my bf ordered a drink and jungle curry with beef.. is that worth the $75 that we were pretty much forced to pay??

Lastly, it took another 30 minutes to get checked out.. Noone could be found after letting us know how we should pay.. we waited and waited.. and finally had to ask another employee, who was also busy at the time, couldn't do much about it.. long story short, the attentiveness during our meal was non-existent during our check out..

Unacceptable.. Disappointing..
