Saturday was a gloom day so we ran a few errands and then had plans to go to the Austin Spurs basketball game. As we were out, we decided to try a new Thai place by us called Chada Thai. Mike had read a few reviews on Yelp and was eager to try it out. It was not crowded when we got there, but remained steadily busy while we were there. The decor was pleasing and the menu was nice looking with plenty of pictures and descriptions. Based on Yelp reviews, we started with the Golden bags, which were a cooked wrapper with chicken and vegetables inside. We liked these and they were different from anything we'd had before. For our meals, Mike ordered the yellow curry and I had the Pad Thai. Both meals were delicious. Mike's curry had the right amount of spice to it and giant pieces of chicken. My pad thai was mild so I kicked up the spice with some chili sauce. The portion of pad thai was huge and I definitely could have split it with someone else. The food was good, the atmosphere was nice, and service was great. It still doesn't beat our favorite Thai place, but it was a good standby.
