The Wife and I were checking out menus in PA for an impromptu dinner date. We leaned into the porch at Thaiphoon, and then asked for a table even without seeing the menu, because they were playing actual Thai pop music, which The Wife loves.They call themselves pan-Asian, but I thought it was 90% Thai. For example, they had a lamb saag and a couple Chinese dishes. We ordered some standard fare: tofu and veggie spring rolls, pad see ew, and a specialty seafood Thai basil. I asked for no calamari, so it had plenty of shrimp, scallops and even mussels, which were not noted on the menu. All of the dishes were very well done. There was a single green chili of some kind in my dish, with all the seeds still attached. Presumably it was there for adding heat, but I stupidly ate it, and regretted it. I also had a gewurztraminer, which was fairly sweet, but paired very well. Dessert was roti with a sweet glaze. Small, but really yummy (and inexpensive). The Wife had fun chatting with the host about Thai music and TV. It was a fine evening.

I went to Thaiphoon to celebrate a special occasion and unfortunately left very disappointed. The tamarind wings were great, and the pad Thai (according to my boyfriend) was good. The eggrolls were just okay. However, I ordered drunken noodles, and they were extremely mushy and chewy. It also seemed like the noodles had been chopped up, which completely ruined the dish for me.When we politely asked for the dish to be removed, the waiter lied and claimed he had asked earlier if everything was good, and that we said yes--something that didn't happen. To make matters worse, the waitress sarcastically suggested, "Maybe it's your taste buds." Fun fact: I eat Thai food all the time and have never encountered drunken noodles served like that.On top of everything, we were scolded while waiting to pay, and the waitress continued with sarcastic remarks throughout the interaction. This level of service was shocking and unacceptable, especially during a special occasion. I can't recommend this restaurant based on this experience.

The veggies and tofu in garlic pepper is a pretty tasty entree, it has a nice flavor to it.

Had tickets to a show in Palo Alto so Made dinner reservations here for two at 6 PM. There is street parking and an adjacent parking lot. I got lucky with a nearby spot with I think 3 hours Free parking. The restaurant had ample greenery, and a warm vibe. Service was attentive and helpful, She let me know if she could make almost anything vegetarian if prompted. I started with Lychee ice tea, which was slightly sweet, and very refreshing, with caffeine. For an appetizer we ordered the Golden eggplant which was crispy and tasty. For my entree I ordered the pumpkin red curry with tofu and a side of steamed rice. I loved the velvety curry, and it had plentiful vegetables and pumpkin. My cousin enjoyed her chicken pad see ewe. I would come back-- Especially given the vegetarian possibilities!!

Great Thai spot in Palo Alto! Ambiance and decor were very pretty and nice. The food was very tasty, especially the pad Thai with chicken! Service was nice and fast. Definitely recommend if you're in the area and looking for Thai food.

This is a comfortably upscale restaurant in downtown P.A., however I think the ambiance at Thaiphoon supercedes the stuff that emerges from the kitchen.Tom Yum seafood combination seafood dinner was a hot and tangy broth. Garnished with fresh lime juice, it also contains lemongrass, mushrooms, and roasted peppers. Pot of soup can feed three or four people and was plenty for our small group. The shrimp were fine, but the large mussels and chunks of squid were not tender -- maybe amateurishly executed and just over cooked. That made the soup, as a whole, not successful or tasty. If all the seafood could have been cooked, seasoned and prepped so that they came out better, the Tom yum would have been enjoyable.Pot stickers are comprised of five pieces with pork, ginger, leek, and seasoning; they are served with soy based dipping sauce. Menu didn't indicate these are deep fried so that the wrappers are all puffy and al dente. Definitely not your Chinese style pot stickers, but I have no idea if it's typical Thai recipe or just the restaurant's own. I would have requested friends chosen something else, had I known how they're cooked.. but even for what they turned out to be, they could have been tastier.Presentation of all the dishes is lovely. No issues at all with service, as the waiter was nice friendly and accommodating. So maybe we didn't try the best things off their menu, but Thaiphoon fell short for me, on the food.

Solid spot for Thai food, great location on University Ave and very comfortable clean ambiance. Lots of seating both indoor and outdoor and really attentive service. Got seated as a party of 7 immediately for a Tuesday dinner.Decent portion sizes, got the pad see ew chicken and it was very filling. I got spice level 4/5 which I would probably say is a typical medium spice level.

I love Thai food. The food and service here is good. It's not a large place or super busy but comfortable. Fish cakes were okay but not a hit with the family. They do not cut well with forks. The yellow curry had good flavor and a rich sauce. The pad see ew noodles were soft. The Pad Thai had good flavor and texture. Roti & curry sauce is always a favorite for us. Fried bananas with honey were good and we could taste the coconut in the ice cream. We would eat here again if we were in the neighborhood.

The food was great, but the serving size was a little too small for what I was paying, in my opinion. Personally recommend the drunken noodles, they were bomb. Nice interior and ambience too, in a great location.
