One of my favorite, unique dishes is Thai Village's Tiger Cry. It is super spicy, so beware! I also really recommend the red curry dish and the cream cheese rolls are a really great appetizer. Once we came for dinner, and there were no waitresses on duty. The chef waited on us himself,with excellent efficiency, and the meal was perfect! This is where I take visitors for out of town. It is one of Austin's best kept secrets.
Pros: good parking, peaceful/quiet
Cons: strip mall location
