Maya Thai Laos Restaurant

Amazing that we had not tried this spot until very recently when we moved back to the Bay Area.Very quick to seat, great service, and delicious food! Honorable mention is the fact that there is ample parking and the plaza has a reasonably sized parking lot to accommodate its customers.We actually found this spot because we were craving mango with sticky rice and they had some great ratings and pictures on Yelp. Lo and behold we ordered it to-go and were obsessed. We ordered Pad Thai, Barbeque Chicken Plate, Mango with Sticky Rice, Thai Ice Tea. Unsurprisingly their entrees are equally as delicious, large in portions (definitely shareable) and they have ample options of spice seasoning. Probably a new favorite of mines in this immediate area.

Papaya salad was so bomb! I am very picky when it comes to papaya salad and this place did not disappoint. Customer service was on point I was greeted as soon as I walked in. The place is pretty big. It was very clean. Papaya was so flavorful, spicy, and pungent just like I like it . I will be ordering regularly.

The service was very friendly and attentive which is hard to find nowadays. And the food was amazing. We got spicy which was super good but if you're not a super spicy eating person, I would probably recommend trying medium first. It was a small cute place and we'll definitely be back.

Best Pad Thai in the Bay Area.Pad Thai has always been my litmus test for how good a Thai restaurant is. I tell you, Maya Thai has the best texture, flavor, and sauce consistency and flavor. I have tried some other noodles, but their Pad Thai reigns supreme for me. Their tray of chili condiments is also the best. Their chili oil is so fragrant and the fried shallots so aromatic. The chilis and lime in fish sauce is also very good.Their service is great. Friendly and homey. Ample parking. The best Thai spot in the area, and definitely the best Pad Thai I've had yet.

Great food, service was wonderful! I would definitely go back. My favorite dish is the drunken noodle with tofu.

Staying in Richmond, we spotted this Thai restaurant nearby with great reviews. We walked in about 7pm on a Monday and were the only guests inside and it remained that way for the entire meal. We tried the Yellow Curry with chicken along with the Pad See Ew and added beef for an additional $3. The Yellow Curry comes with carrots and potatoes and was requested as Medium. It arrived with about a teaspoon of dry chili flakes on top. I'm guessing I was suppose to stir it into the curry. We decided not to and I'm glad we didn't. It would have been ridiculously spicy. Just an odd way to serve a dish. The worst part was the Chicken that was beyond OVERCOOKED. The Pad See Ew was saucy and served with carrots and broccoli. The noodles were decent along with the broccoli. However, the beef that I paid an extra $3 for was again beyond OVERCOOKED. Although the service was great, the meal was so disappointing and pretty inedible.

This review is long overdue! I have a deep affection for this restaurant.The staff is exceptionally friendly and hospitable, and the background music creates a perfect ambiance for enjoying delicious Thai/Lao comfort food.On a rainy evening, my husband and I visited and indulged in the Khao poon and chicken pad Thai. It's uncommon to find Khao poon in this area, but the quality and flavor here remind me of homemade cooking. I am genuinely grateful for this experience and certainly plan to return for more!

Hard to find a good restaurant in El sobrante, so finding this place was pure luck. It's tucked away in a very unassuming plaza. The food was amazing, ordered the pad Thai, cream cheese rangoon, and the green curry. Be careful of the spice level, they go off Thai levels of spice. They have mild, medium, spicy and very spicy. I can usually handle very spicy foods but I was barely able to take the spicy. Service was great. I'll be back again.

I have been coming to this restaurant for the past few years and have enjoyed every single visit! The inside is very beautifully designed and well kept. The inside is quite spacious although it is rarely super busy. The service is absolutely amazing, every time the waiters have all been extremely friendly and very accommodating to guests! The staff is very attentive to needs and over many visits they definitely even begin recognizing you at times. The food has always been really good. The khao poon is my most frequent order and I have never had an issue with it at all it tastes super flavorful and it's filling! I will say that I have had the lao sausage and the lao style papaya salad and while they are decent it wouldn't be my first place to go to for those items. The menu is filled with many different things so there will a definitely be something for satisfaction for a person in every party of guests! The restaurant is in a plaza filled with other small businesses so the parking is actually decent you will always find a spot close by. The area is not the best especially around night time, but that doesn't take away from the good quality food you'd be getting!

Maya Thai Laos is my go to restaurant when I want some spicy basil fried rice. The lady who takes my order is always friendly and the food never disappoints! I started coming to the restaurant 5 years ago right before the pandemic and the quality of food HAS NOT changed. The chicken satay is always juicy and nicely seasoned, and the of course the basil fried rice is delicious. The restaurant gives the vibe of the typical family style restaurant. My mom still raves about the drunken noodles. Yes, the prices have gone up a bit but that is to be expected, keep dishing out great quality food and people will pay .
