Luv Thai Cuisine

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. She did, then returned to steer me toward a limited number of safe options. So, the menu has a lot of incorrect info for dietary restrictions and our waitress wasn’t knowledgeable about how the food was prepared.

I really love Luv Thai! I come here often and I always have a great experience! This has become my favorite Thai restaurant in Austin. The dishes have large portions and are very well made. My favorite dish here is the Kao Soi. I can't get enough of it. I am gluten free and I love that they list everything I can eat clearly. The staff is also knowledgeable on what I can eat and what I should avoid. I can't say enough about this place. You should give it a try!
