Thai Fresh sits in Bouldin Creek, serving Thai food built on ingredients sourced from sustainable Texas ranchers. The restaurant runs on a stated fair-wage policy for its staff, alongside a menu that covers breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
The kitchen leans into substitutions, offering a menu flexible enough for vegetarian and gluten-free diners even though traditional Thai cooking often relies on fish sauce and dried shrimp. Mushroom egg rolls and khao man gai (no substitutions on that one) sit alongside pad thai made with pork belly or tempeh. A gluten-free bakery and vegan ice cream round out the offerings, with desserts skewing mostly vegan.
Regulars keep coming back for the pad thai and curries, and the open kitchen adds its own bit of entertainment to the dining room. Austin's A Taste of Koko named Thai Fresh among the city's best.
