Thai Food in South Austin

[iamtigerwoods]

Not sure how many Madam Mam fans there are on this board, but she has opened a new branch at Westgate and 290(near Central Market). It is in the old RJ Pitts BBQ building at the SW corner. Much more room than the one by campus. Food was great, as always. If you crave a Singha with dinner, it is BYOB, so you can stop by the liquor store next door or swing by Central Market..

Went there this week. Same great food as the campus location but with plenty of parking and better service.

My uncle installed their walk-in coolers.

Fu Lai in Oak Hill has the best pad thai i've ever had.

No discussion of Thai in s. Austin is complete without mention of Sawadhee Thai, on Machanca just off of Slaughter. Mom-and-pop shop that's a little shady looking from the outside, but is just great on the inside.

My wife thinks Sawadee has the best Pad Thai in town.

Call me a Thai snob, but ordering pad thai at Madam Mam is like ordering spaghetti at Vespaio. My favorite these days is Kao Soi...

Glad to see some love for Fu Lai. Great place, even if it is empty too often.

I will definitely check out Madame Mam's.

Did Sawadee close for a while, or operate under another name? I went there once a few years ago, loved it, tried to go again but it was closed. Noticed that they had reopened or whatever but haven't been back yet.
