Round Rock’s own Da’s Thai Cuisine is gearing up to bring its fan-favorite curries and noodle dishes to Hutto, sliding into the Chris Kelley retail strip at 525 Chris Kelley Boulevard. The restaurant is set to take over the former Elsie’s Egg Rolls space, with owner Seeda planning a roughly 40-seat dining room and a menu that mirrors the Round Rock location. There is still no firm opening date, but for Hutto locals, it means those pad dishes and pineapple fried rice are getting a lot closer than a drive up I-35.
According to What Now, online maps briefly jumped the gun and listed the new spot as open before the owners stepped in to clarify that the launch is still in progress. The outlet reports that Seeda confirmed both the planned seating layout and the intention to run the same menu as in Round Rock, giving an early peek at what Hutto diners can expect while construction and setup continue.
Where It Will Land
Local blog Huttotopia first spotted the expansion back in January after stopping by the strip center and snapping photos of the unit at 525 Chris Kelley Boulevard, previously home to Elsie’s Egg Rolls. Elsie’s own website lists a Chris Kelley Boulevard address for its Hutto drive-thru, backing up the conclusion that the interior space has changed hands. Huttotopia’s coverage includes images showing the unit still in prep mode for its next tenant.
Round Rock Roots And The Menu
Da’s Thai started life as a food truck in Round Rock before graduating to a brick-and-mortar restaurant, a path outlined by Community Impact. The Round Rock ordering page highlights staples such as pad ka prow, pad thai, pineapple fried rice, and several curries, the same set of dishes the owners say they plan to serve in Hutto from a counter-service setup with a small dining room. That blend of food-truck-style cooking and a compact sit-down space is the formula that has helped the brand gain traction in Round Rock.
Review sites and local listings show the Round Rock location pulling in strong feedback for bold flavors and customizable spice levels, a combination that could generate quick buzz in Hutto. Commenters regularly praise the friendly service and generous portions, suggesting the new outpost has a decent shot at becoming a neighborhood go-to once the doors finally open.
There is still no official date on the calendar. As What Now notes, the timeline is still shifting while the owners wrap up the build-out. Locals will want to watch area business listings for the announcement of opening day and operating hours once the team is ready to welcome customers.
