KHON Thai Kitchen by Seeda serves as a vibrant spot for Thai dining tucked into the northeast stretch of Burnet Road, where Austin’s casual and diverse food scene meets authentic flavors. This full-service restaurant leans into traditional Thai cuisine with a modern touch, offering a broad menu that covers everything from bright, zesty soups like Tom Yum and Tom Kha to hearty mains like Chicken Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles, and Panang Beef.

The atmosphere balances contemporary, colorful decor with warm friendliness that makes it a good option for both weeknight dinners and weekend gatherings. There’s a separate private dining area that can accommodate larger groups or special occasions, reflecting a versatility that locals appreciate. While the servers are attentive and check in regularly, it's worth noting that busy times—especially when takeout orders pile up—may slightly delay food delivery, something to keep in mind if you’re on a tight schedule.

KHON’s menu caters well to those craving classic Thai staples but also brings in some unique twists, like the Kao Soi Fusion and a variety of desserts including Sticky Rice Mango and Coconut Cake, offering a sweet finish. The portion sizes are reasonable and the dishes tend to avoid heavy greasiness, which adds to the approachable vibe of the kitchen. Complementing the food, the restaurant occasionally features live local music, adding a lively dimension that fits nicely with Austin’s creative spirit.

This place suits diners looking for a relaxed yet lively environment where authentic Thai flavors come through clearly—those who enjoy exploring diverse tastes with an emphasis on freshness will find plenty to like. Even if you prefer a quieter meal, the layout and seating options allow for flexibility. Early evenings on weekdays might offer the smoothest flow, avoiding longer waits during rush hours.

Really pretty restaurant with fun decor. Has a bonus room for overflow or even just private dining (if you want to book it). The boss was very nice to keep checking in on us to see how we are doing. However food too very long to arrive. We checked in on our food after 45mins of being seated and were told that our order is backed up by to go orders. Im appalled because I thought dining in customers should have priority or at least not be pushed back because of to go orders. The food tasted pretty good and the restaurant comp-ed us one free cake. One cake for 2 people to share (???) - why not one cake each? We chose the coconut cake which is a mix between pandan and coconut. Its a cake that everyone should try! Overall I would come back again but I will look out for whether the service has improved.

Stopped by on a Friday night and got seated right away. Service was amazing + they had live music. Food was great! The pad thai did have a stronger fish sauce taste. Favorite item was the steak Brussels sprouts, satay, drinks, steak, pad Thai

The good: The food is delicious and not greasy. The portions are a good size. The food is fresh. The meh: there are TVs that kill the ambience The bad: we ordered two curries, and we ask them to add vegetables and seemingly the only vegetable they added, was potato.

Overall, our experience was great! The service was excellent, and the variety of flavors was really interesting. Although the sesame beef was a bit salty, we enjoyed the food and will definitely be back!

Everything was absolutely amazing! Some of the best Thai I've ever had. We got the Khan Rolls, Tom Kha, the Panang Beef, and the pineapple fried rice. It was all amazing. And I can't remember the name of the drink I got but it was a Martini with house made tamarind syrup and it was AHmazing! Service was amazing also, Kap Khun Kha!!!

This Thai restaurant was all together a good experience. All the things were good except for the soup my lady got. It was not good at all. She didn't like it and didn't eat more than like 2 bites. She said it was authentic but the soup was no Bueno. (She's Thai if that says anything). All together I would come here again.

Tried Khon a while back & Omg the pad see ew is sooo good. This is now my go-to Thai place. The food is amazing and reasonably priced. The restaurant itself is beautiful and has a great atmosphere. Overall 10/10! Btw they have a pretty wide variety of menu options including vegetarian, vegan, & gluten free choices.

Absolutely amazing Thai dining experience at this restaurant. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with beautiful traditional decor that makes you feel like you’re stepping into Thailand. The food was outstanding, our table enjoyed a variety of dishes, including papaya salad, fried pork with dipping sauce, a flavorful Tom Yum soup served over fire,... Every dish was fresh, authentic, and full of rich flavors. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. If you’re looking for authentic Thai food in Austin with both taste and experience, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!
