Food was okayish , not very visually appealing . This is a Thai kun fried chicken dish and it was actually just fried chicken with a bit of sauce and rice.quite dry. They don't entertain any protein replacement in any dish because their "chef" said so. The table was very sticky and not cleaned properly. It was a really shocking experience since we went after seeing the google rating .

I tried the Pad Ka Prow and was very impressed. I was warned by the server that it was very spicy but I found it at the upper end of spicy while still very enjoyable. The flavor was great overall. Served with rice, a fried egg (runny yolk), and a very tasty garlic sauce. I would have loved som vegetables to complement, but otherwise excellent.
The service was fine and the atmosphere was unremarkable, but enjoyable. I look forward to trying their other dishes (though, no desert options :( ).

Charge a fee on the bill for "Employee Well-being". Shouldn't it be the employer's responsibility to take care of their employees?

Thai Kun in Austin serves up bold, authentic Thai street food with an explosion of flavors. Their spicy dishes, like the waterfall pork and chicken karaage, stand out. The casual vibe fits the menu, but it can get crowded, so expect a wait.

I should have read the review from 3 months ago; the Larb is so spicy hot it is inedible. I eat a lot of spicy food, but I wouldn't recommend this dish unless you want an ulcer.

Entries are great with chicken or seafood. For vegetarian it’s not consistent taste , will try to avoid for specific. Weird part of this is they will charge for chilli flakes which comes with fried rice.
Vegetarian options: Only tofu.

We stopped by for a quick lunch. Corn fritters were fried a tad bit too much. The grilled octopus tasted nice but I was surprised to see baby octopus. So small that you put in your mouth in one bite. Wonder if it’s legal to catch such small ones. For entree we had the Pad thai. Taste was good but it’s the first time I have had such a gooey pad Thai. And I have been having Thai food for 30 yrs, around the world.

Thai Kun impressed me once again on my second visit, offering bold, authentic Thai flavors in a lively and casual setting. This time, I opted for the crispy wontons, which were perfectly fried and filled with savory goodness—an excellent way to start the meal. The pork pad see ew was delicious, featuring smoky noodles and tender pork that created a well-balanced dish. Chef Thai’s roasted chicken was another highlight, juicy and infused with aromatic spices—definitely a must-try.
On our first visit, we sampled the pad ka prow and green curry, but found them a bit too spicy for our taste, and unfortunately, there’s no option to request a milder version. Still, the flavors at Thai Kun are outstanding, and the menu is worth exploring. With attentive service and vibrant dishes, it remains a top choice for Thai cuisine enthusiasts.

Solid Thai food out in Austin. The fried chicken was good with a mild flavor, but the boom sauce was excellent and added some great flavor.
Took a little while to get out food but everything was hot and fresh. Didn’t need to wait for a table on a Sunday evening.

Serving us hot food, on a hot day, in a hot restaurant. You could’ve at least know walking in, that the A/C isn’t working in the summer of Texas!
