Chef Kieu Pham takes the Vietnamese and Thai recipes that she learned from her mother and tweaks them with her own contemporary flair, resulting in the modern fusion fare you'll find at Mandala Kitchen & Bar. Chef Kieu debuted her new Austin eatery in March and it immediately started racking up rave reviews from customers throughout the city.
Start your meal with the Mandala chicken wings, served with pickled veggies and coated with sweet chili sauce, or the crispy egg rolls stuffed with shrimp, pork, and taro root. Or skip straight to an inventive entree, like the Cajun fried rice. It's loaded with crawfish tails, beef sausage, and hickory-smoked pork, plus eggs, sweet corn, sweet onion, and green onions. The black mussels curry shaken ribeye features chunks of USDA Choice steak tossed with mushroom, bell pepper, scallions, and sweet onions, the combination perched atop a pillow of white rice. Come to Mandala to devour one of these dishes or any of the other fusion bites.
