Thai Fresh

Austin’s Queen of Thai cuisine, Jam Sanitchat, doesn’t forget her dear veggie following when it comes to the menu at Thai Fresh, nor sister dessert shop, Gati. You’ll find a heap of amazing vegan and vegetarian bites and entree options, such as egg rolls stuffed with cabbage, mushrooms and celery; golden curried tofu, and veggie stir fries. Both of her properties also specialize in coconut-based ice creams that seriously challenge for best dessert in Austin—make sure to try the Thai Tea version.
How to book: Stop by for first come, first served seating, or get takeout via Toast.

While growing up in Thailand, Jam Sanitchat began following her grandmother around the kitchen at five-years-old. That early training served her well—as the chef and co-owner of South Austin’s Thai Fresh, Santichat brings brilliance and fresh flavor to all of the dishes she creates. Not only does she do justice to traditional Thai dishes, like the ever-popular coconut soup Tom Kha Gai, or rice-and-chicken street-food staple Kao Man Kai—but her Kaeng Karee yellow curry, which spins together Thai and Indian flavors with a mild kick, showcases her ability to blend cuisines in a delicious and complex way. Don’t skip on dessert here either—any Austinite worth their weight knows their bakery turns out some of the best sweets and vegan ice creams you can indulge in. 
How to order: Right now, they are only open for curbside pick-up—you can order online through their website.
