Luv Thai Cuisine

Great spot for Thai in south Austin with tons of gluten free options! Menu is clearly labeled and they even have gluten free crab Rangoon (although it’s different shaped). Pad Thai was very yummy and so was the curry. Super quick service too.

This restaurant has unfortunately experienced a sharp decline in the quality of food, based on a recent dine-in experience. It was an off time, in the middle of a Saturday afternoon, and there was only one other table with guests. The shrimp spring rolls had no flavor and were mostly dry vermicelli noodles. The shrimp pad Thai weirdly tasted like it had jarred sweet and sour sauce in it, and the chopped, fried peanuts on the side had a strange appearance, taste, and texture. My partner had the fried rice and was also disappointed. Another aspect that gave me pause: Many items on the menu were marked gluten free that are typically not gluten-free in restaurants, like crab rangoon. I asked the waitress about it and her answer felt uncertain and made up on the spot. I asked if she could verify with the cook. So, the menu has a lot of incorrect info for dietary restrictions and our waitress wasn’t knowledgeable about how the food was prepared.
