"This is a fun place with great food at a decent price. If you are looking for traditional Thai food then go elsewhere, but if you are looking for delicious Asian fusion cuisine then this is the place for you. The plates are intended for sharing although you can get your own dishes. The Lamb on the current menu is to die for. The Duck confit is also very good. Many dishes pack some heat and several items are also available gluten free. The dishes are also heavy on the meat with veggies; if you are looking for a high carb meal then this probably isn't the right place for you; although you can get a side of rice with anything."

"We have eaten here multiple times and it is still great. They have changed the menu a little since our last visit and we found some new favorites...Salmon Takat (no sure of spelling) and the Quail. Our favorites are the pumpkin starter and the chicken starter and the Tiger's Cry and beef dish.
This place is a gem in the food void known as Cedar Park."

"All the dishes we tried were delicious. The food is an updated take on traditional Thai flavors. The Salmon Tataki and Tiger Cry were both fresh and delicious. The Clay Pot Brussels were very good too. They're served in a hot clay pot and are mixed tableside with noodles, egg, and vegetables. The Rib Ping didn't have much of a Thai influence to the flavors. My favorite was the tempura Soft Shell Crab dish, which reminded me a lot of a fried fish dish I had during a recent trip to Thailand.
Service was very friendly and attentive. One minor gripe: there were no blinds on the windows, so half of our table had the sun in their eyes until it went behind a building, but this wasn't a big deal. I'm sure they would've moved us if we asked."

"Food was lousy, restaurant was overstaffed and still had horrible service, the only two parties in the restaurant were seated back-to-back by the door to try to appear as if there were people in the restaurant. So. Very. Bad."

"This place was awesome! What a surprise so up north in Cedar Park! The owners were proud of their product, the servers did their best to take you on a epicurean journey when they delivered each dish, and explained how it all worked very well. We had the Taro root appetizer (tasty!), then the Duck Wing taster- SO delicious, I'm a big fan of duck, then the softshell crab in panko-- this was SO SPICY, I haven't had something that actually knocked me off my feet with spice but wow, it did and I love spicy, so beware! It is DELICIOUS though omgosh!!! And then to finish it off we had the Coconut Panna Cotta-- WOW. Just try this please, it's absolutely a delight, so mellow, creamy, wonderful. I also had the wine from South Africa- it was alright."

"I highly recommend SPIN. Their fusion style is not a gimmick. Their food is creative and delicious, a fresh take on a Thai cuisine that can be predictable, if still delicious. Our waitress was very helpful and attentive. This is also a great spot for gluten-free dining."

"Not sure the menu change from my earlier visit was for the better. Seems to be fewer things I'd care to order. Portion sizes seem to be smaller vs. price -- like, now Uchi-sized. For example, the meat skewers and the full Spin items were okay, but I don't need to order them again. The corn tempura is still very good."

"Spin is an up-and-coming Thai restaurant located near Lakeline mall. While it is not exactly fusion, many of the things on the menu are Thai dishes with a "spin." I enjoyed the Tiger's Cry dish most; it is similar to beef carpaccio but with Thai flavors (ie. Thai chili, fish sauce, lime). Another one of my favorite dishes was the clay pot shrimp. It comes in a heated clay pot which cooks the contents right in front of you. The waiter cracked a raw egg into the glass noodles, shrimp and smoked bacon and the heat from the pot cooked the egg. The result was delicious. One thing to note is that anything with a chili next to it will be very spicy, even if it is just one chili."

"The food lives up to the amazing reviews this place has received. Everything was so tasty and well prepared; you can tell that thought and passion went into each dish. The wine list is lacking, BUT you can bring in your own bottle for a $10 corking fee. We'll definitely be back!"

"Great atmosphere. The clay pot shrimp and the corn fritter are both must-taste items. Lots of wonderful variety in beef, seafood, and even vegetarian options. Very reminiscent of other great Austin eateries Uchi and Uchiko - but in some ways tastier and definitely more affordable. Don't let the odd location keep you from discovering this one!"
