Top Eleven Bites of Food In Austin Texas For ACL Visitors Part Seven: Little Thailand

Sep 12

posted by RL Reeves Jr in Austin Food Scene

One of our many aces in the hole.

Eons ago, a retired Army airman and his Thai wife bought a couple mobile homes in Garfield Texas[15 miles out of Austin] jammed them into a L formation and Little Thailand was born.

The back trailer became a cozy, dimly lighted lounge with an ancient bar reclaimed from a non commissioned officers watering hole from nearby Bergstrom Field, the front trailer became the restaurant.

The only thing missing from this Lynchian tableau is a chimp sitting on the end of the bar smoking a cigarette going "try the Pad Thai man,it's stellar" The food? Having ardently pursued Thai food across three continents I feel confident in declaring it the finest I've come across.

Try a wok seared Ribeye, Thai-style. Do not neglect getting the Thai stuffed chicken wing.

  have you been to LT recently? I was just wondering if there had been any changes since the chef's spouse's untimely demise.

  Looking at their menu I don't see a thai style ribeye... wonder if they took it off.

  I'm trying to remember if the steak was ever even on the menu? call Surin and tell her you want one and I'll bet she can make it happen, sit in the back in the bar area, do not skip the chicken wing or the cabbage soup, play the jukebox and live it up, it's a one of a kind experience.
