Excellent choice! The food was great with an unusual presentation. The service was very good with a full staff. And while the location was rather hidden in this multi use development the interior of the restaurant was very inviting.

Duck and bao buns were amazing (we ordered extra buns), soup dumplings were gone instantly, everything we ordered was great! And food came out quickly!
Delicious food, stellar service, wonderful ambiance.
We got there late (9pm, because the Congress Ave Bridge bats decided to wait until after dark to make their nightly emergence) but we didn't feel at all rushed by the servers. The live band was great, we were sorry when the music ended. Will def

Update to my last review - 1618 reached out and did say the curry was cooked down too long and thus the reduced quantity. They did investigate the issue and keep me updated throughout. Thank you 1618 team for taking my feedback seriously!

Had the grilled octopus for an appetizer and pad Thai for main, both were excellent. The service was great sitting at the bar. I saw where they will be opening a new location on 6th street. Maybe this will help improve the wait times.

Disappointed with Pad Thai.
Could not taste traditional pad thai flavor. Didn't care for spicy sauce.

Despite the hype around this place, I wasn't impressed after coming here. Due to the parking issue, we missed our reservation and were put back on the waitlist but luckily we didn't wait long. The host wasn't friendly and our server was the same way.

The food and service was good.
I had a chicken pad Thai and it was good. I don't like onions so I should have requested no onions. The sesame chicken for kids was delicious. The dumplings were also very good. We will be back on our next trip to Austin

Connect with users posting reservations for 1618 Austin
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with 1618 Austin. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to 1618 Austin at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the 1618 Austin page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at 1618 Austin to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at 1618 Austin!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
