Chai Thai Noodle in Hayward is always a solid spot for good Thai food. The flavors are great, and the intimate ambiance makes it a nice place to dine. The space is on the smaller side, but they do have a bar area, which is nice.Service is friendly, though it can be a bit spotty at times. Parking can also be a challenge, so plan accordingly.Overall, it's a 3.5-4 star spot for me, but I'll round up cause I like them. Despite a couple of small inconveniences, the food and cozy vibe keep me coming back!

Chai Thai is a staple in the Bay Area, known for their delicious food and noodle soups. My go-to here is the roti bread with the yellow curry sauce and the Kao Poon noodle soup. I've been a supporter for many years, but during my most recent visit, the food quality and prices have changed.While the roti bread isn't as authentic as other Thai/Southeast Asian restaurants, the sauce is the best part as it packs a flavorful punch. The bread is very flat, almost like it was pressed in a crepe-waffle maker, and it's a bit tough to bite or cut into rather than having a flakey, soft, and more chewy texture to it. What was even more disappointing was the Kao Poon. I order this soup without the mint, bean sprouts, or roasted chilis. Despite that, my bowl of soup is usually still packed to the brim of the bowl with the soup and loaded with a bunch of cabbage and sliced chicken at the top with the most creamiest curry flavored chicken coconut broth. During this visit and to my dismay, the soup came out looking like it was made for a fine-dining restaurant (this isn't the type of restaurant it's meant to be) with only a spoonful and maybe a half of sliced chicken and a spoonful of cabbage at the bottom of my bowl, garnished with 4-5 carrot strands, cilantro, and sprinkled with some chopped green onion. The soup was not even close to reaching the top of the bowl, the soup broth didn't have the addicting flavor to slurp more and more of, and nor did it come with all the meat that it used to have. This may be suitable for others, but it's definitely not the amount or the quality that I kept returning to Chai Thai for whether it was dining in or ordering to-go.I had to ask the staff if management changed and they confirmed there have been a lot of changes recently, including the prices increasing a few dollars over the last few months but it's the chef that has been updated, which could be the reason why certain menu items don't appear or taste the same anymore. I get change is inevitable, but training people to ensure the quality or appearance of the food isn't too different than what made your restaurant is truly important. There's no question that the service is pleasant and quick. The ambiance is the same, they also have a happy hour menu for their bar/drinks too.As a local, I'll continue to support the business, but it may not be as frequent considering the big changes to some of my favorite dishes at this restaurant. Hopefully the team will reconsider how they construct their noodle soups soon.

Great food in Hayward, the noodle soup is delicious and big enough to share. It's tight place with tables a little too close to each other. The food was great both times I've been here and service too. Nice place for a casual lunch or dinner.

Was really impressed with the spice level of the pad kee mao. Usually when I ask for spicy, it's not that spicy. But here, they showed my Caucasian friend what's up. Lol! The Chiang mai noodles were really good. I highly recommend it!! It's like a combo of yellow curry and a noodle dish! The crispy noodles on top adds the perfect crunch too. Was a little disappointed with the milk tea because it was too sweet for me, but their boba was well done and chewy, not over cooked. Came in for lunch on a Monday, and there was no wait and we got served quickly. Would come back again!

Not sure what happened over the past couple of years, but Chai Thai is no longer my go-to Thai place. New chef, new owner? Who knows. All I can say is that I'm sad. Nothing taste good anymore, so I'd subjected myself to drive farther for the quality I deserve. I used to LOVE their tom yum, but something about it now isn't right. Also, their thai tea was so bad I had to send it back for a soda....Less than mid and no longer a place I would recommend unfortunately for good Thai / Laos food.

Finally found a consistently good Thai restaurant, but unfortunately it's in the East Bay and far from home to frequent. I've come here a couple times already and have always left very satisfied of the entire meal. Plus, the staff's service is always very attentive and friendly. The usual dishes we order:- pad Thai: 4/5- papaya salad: 4/5- chicken sa tae skewers: 5/5- green curry: 5/5- Laos Kao soy: 5/5Their spice level is not for the faint of heart.. aka me.. I typically ask for no spice or mild and even with mild I am suffering but at an enjoyable level. I also love their pickled jalapeños and their Thai tea. Can't rave enough about this place and am already looking forward to my next visit there!

My girlfriends and I ordered Chai Thai Noodles in after a recommendation from a fellow Hayward native and Thai friend. One of our friends said it's one of the best thai places she's tried in the Bay! For 3 hungry people for takeout and roughly 7 dishes - there were leftovers - the split was 51$ dollars per person.Our favorites were the whole fish (pla rad prig), barbecue pork (moo yang) and salmon mango salad. The pad kee mao was interesting - it reminded me of Chinese tomato beef chow fun. But everything was super flavorful and memorable. Our friend who is also Thai approved.Our friend who goes regularly says that staff are very friendly and the service is good. Looking forward to dining in and ordering takeout more when I visit my friends in Hayward.

I had the shrimp papaya salad, pad kee mao and khaknom jin nam ngiao. The service was attentive. The pad kee mao was very flavorful. The papaya salad was very tasty. I didn't like the khaknom jin nam ngiao (special pork tomato broth soup served with rice noodles, sliced pork, ground pork, diced tomatoes, pickled mustard greens, bean sprouts and shredded cabbage) that much. It wasn't that flavorful. Next time, I would rather try the kao poon or kao soy noodles instead. The ambiance was pleasant. Parking is limited.

Came here for dinner with a close friend of mine. I wasn't hella hungry but my friend was craving Thai. We ordered chicken wings for apps and for myself, I ordered the roti with red curry and my friend ordered a spicy noodle soup. The wings were less than mid. They were huge drumsticks and not crispy. It was bland to mid. The roti curry was delicious but hella simple. Presentation was nothing, something I'd prepare at home, no sprig of tarragon or basil.The only thing that wowed me was the button at our table that we rang when we were ready for the bill.
