Sylvia H. "This is my Thai spot in San Mateo. I've eaten at the restaurant and ordered here via door dash here several times. The food here is really good and affordable. The restaurant is a bit small, so reservations are encouraged for larger groups. Parking here is a bit tricky unless you park at the parking lots. The service here is great and the food comes out quickly! Would recommend here for some good Thai food!"

Priya K. "Just like its name, the food here is absolutely amazing! This place is super close to my home, and I've passed by so many times without trying it, now I wish I had known sooner just how incredible it is. Everything we ordered was delicious!The portions are huge, so depending on your appetite, one dish can easily be shared between two people. We had the house-made garlic bread, and wow, even Italian restaurants could take notes from this place! We also tried the vegetable laksa noodle soup, chicken lemongrass noodle soup, Thai Massaman fried chicken with rice, and Massaman shrimp with rice, all absolutely fantastic.For drinks, we ordered a round of boba drinks, and I loved the crème brûlée one! Mine was super sweet since I ordered it at 100% sugar, but I'd definitely recommend cutting it to 50% for a perfect balance.The staff was polite, the ambiance was cozy, and just a heads-up, come early because the wait times can be long. Highly recommend this spot, and I'll definitely be coming back to try more dishes!"

Joseph M. "Was craving some Thai food and I had this spot on my bucket list for a while so I knew I had to slide thru so here I am.I started off with some tapas. The dragon balls and the chicks on a stick. The dragon balls were pretty good. I like how it had the right amount of spiciness to it and that it wasn't overpowering. The chicks on the sticks (chicken satay) was also a hit. I also ordered the Panang curry w/beef. The Panang curry has a nice blend of sweet and savoriness to it. For drink, I ordered the Thai tea and it was delicious. The service here was really good as well. My waitress Bella gave me a great rundown of the menu, was attentive in checking in, and often refilled my water. The restaurant itself is small but it is very nicely decorated. All in all, a nice authentic Thai spot. I definitely recommend checking this spot out! Try it out if you like. :)"

The place is not too big but is decorated in a charming way.We ordered three dishes which was the Chicken Satay, Sweet Sol, Chicken Pad Thai, , and Coconut rice. The Chicken Satay was a bit dry but with the sauce it was still pretty good. The Sweet Sol was fried well and the inside was tender without bones. The last dish we had was the Chicken Pad Thai which is one of my favorites in Thai cuisine. It had the right amount of seasoning and the noodles were just right. The coconut rice was a good accompaniment to the dishes. I have been to this restaurant two times and it is a good find and pretty consistent."

Susan S. "Our party of four was really wowed by the food at Thai Grata. Everything is served "family style", so dishes to share. We ordered Pad Thai, Pad See Ew and Spicy Eggplant. It was nice that we had the option to choose our level of spiciness, so we ordered the Spicy Eggplant "mild". One member of our party has a variety of food allergies, but the staff patiently answered all questions and were very accommodating, and made the Pad Thai with gluten free soy sauce for us. All three dishes were fantastic! All four of us thought everything was delicious, and my companions tend to be pretty particular.The restaurant is in a strip mall, and with so many glass windows, I was constantly aware that I was in a strip mall. Pretty casual atmosphere. The ceiling is pretty high, so when it got more crowded, it was much louder than I would've liked, but the food is totally worth that inconvenience."

Angie A. "We came to Thai Spice on a Wed night. There was no wait and 3 other people seated. They always greet us with smiles, and they are very pleasant. When reading the reviews and looking at the poor quality photos, I think they are getting a disservice.We ordered Chicken Satay and Roti (unfortunately, I forgot to take a photo, so I had to lift one off the internet). The Satay is fresh and delicious. The condiments that come with it are also very tasty. The Roti was warm and flakey. The same peanut sauce that comes with the Satay comes with the Roti. It's thick and not watered down like another reviewer stated.Our entrees were Chicken Ra-Na with Broccoli instead of spinach (the guys favorite-fresh thinly sliced chicken and broccoli perfectly cooked with a thick peanut sauce), Pumpkin Curry - Veggie - medium spicy (always delicious - super fresh and loaded with veggies. The pumpkin squash is cooked so it falls apart in your mouth) hopefully someday it will get back to being served IN the kabocha, and Spicy Spaghetti - Veggie - medium spicy (fresh and delicious - think of it as Thai tasty chow mein with lots of delicious healthy veggies and not greasy like chow mein). We ordered white rice and shallot rice. The shallot rice is cooked in the pan with the shallots, so it takes on a crispier texture and darker color. We loved our meal. We didn't appreciate the loud table next to us of two women complaining about the price of the peanut sauce and how they don't eat rice or noodles (not sure why you would come to a Thai restaurant then). But it wasn't the restaurants fault for their lack of situational awareness. We've always loved Thai Spice and have never had a bad meal there or takeout. The pandemic REALLY hurt their business, so please give them a try if you're in the area."

The restaurant was not too big, but it was clean and cozy. The staff was nice and friendly, too. They were helpful when we had questions about their menu and kept checking on us if we needed water refills.We ordered Red Curry Chicken, Tamarind Chicken Wings, Pineapple Fried Rice, Fried Banana With Chocolate, Fresh Rolls, and Sweet Sticky Rice with Fresh Mango. The red curry was delicious. It had some heat which I appreciated. The tamarind chicken wings and fried rice were also great. The wings were sweet, tangy, and sticky. The sticky rice was good, but the fried banana was a hard pass. It was okay; the batter was good, but the banana didn't taste fresh. Overall, my friends and I enjoyed our visit to Simply Thai. The service was great and the price was reasonable."

The waitress was busy but prompt. Super friendly and sweet. Their lunch specials are the way to go! You get an app, meal, and a drink for about $20. It's plenty of food too! Everything was tasty. Service was fast. The music was a bit loud, but they must have noticed and turned it down midway through. Also, it got busy and poor waitress didn't have any help so it took awhile to get our bill and some boxes. All in all, it was a great experience and I wouldn't mind coming here again for a good portion lunch plate."

Frank L. "The 11th Tiger is a hidden gem in the sleepy downtown of Danville. They offer delicious food at a decent price. Actually it's easier to find a value meal here than a street parking spot even on a random Tuesday evening. The other thing you can find is a huge menu selection. Just when you thought the selection is vast on the front page you flip it around and see there are more to choose from. It took awhile to decide but we finally ended up with the Roti & Curry Dip, Crispy Roll, Angel Wings, Pad Thai and BBQ Chicken. Not the most traditional selection on my part but it was what we were craving. Honestly, I would select these items again if I came back. Everything tasted great and fresh. All the sauces that came with the appetizers were really good. The Pad Thai noodles were flavorful. On top of that the service was on point. Food came prompt and water cups were never empty. The restaurant is perfect for parties of four. I didn't see tables bigger for parties of 6 or more. Perhaps they combined them together. The restaurant is not that big. It seemed like a lot of people come here for takeouts. During our time there people came in and out for their pickup orders. Give them a try if you're in the area and you're craving some good Thai food."

Mr. S. "This hole-in-the-wall random gem is so out of place at Vasco Rd and 580. Nothing there but gas, fast food, and this wonderful restaurant. I live at that intersection, let Altamont/Brentwood traffic stare at tail lights and try this place.KHAO SOI GAI!!!!!You probably haven't had this dish before at your average Thai place, it's not on the menu. I beg you to try it if you want something unique. It's like thai curry met ramen, with noodles and pickled vegetables melting together in a creamy coconut chicken soup. It's like eating pho though, once you mix, you gotta eat it meow, but they will package in all it's pieces so that you can get the full experience at home. Only restaurant within a mile of my house worth leaving a glowing review for. Cherry on top, their service is top notch.The rest of the menu is excellent in flavor and quality, but mostly common items. It's a street food place, and it's street food tiny, simple, and tasty. Expect a satisfying meal at a decent price no matter what you order."

I would recommend the Golden Pumpkin if you've never tried pumpkin with egg before. The prawns did not have much meat.Overall it was a tasty meal and a nice departure from the sweet Americanized dishes you usually see on Thai menus."

This place will rank very high of all the Thai restaurants in the peninsula.The restaurant will hold a fair amount of people and the space was pretty cozy, aided with all kinds of Thai and holiday motifs. Big bonus for having their own parking lot.The menu was very extensive, and I appreciated the availability of the lunch specials. The Pad Thai and Pad See Ew captured the right flavors, the dumpling in curry sauce and fried tofu were hits with the children, and the basil beef rice plate was fantastic. The Praram Chicken could have benefited from more flavors. The special papaya salad dish was surprising with all the extra meats, but be forwarded that their spice levels are right at par on what you would expect in the Thai culture. A level 2 spice is far more than a tickle.There were two servers for a weekday lunch, but they were very attentive to all the patrons. This was a great experience and worth another drive back to get more."

The decor is simple with a few paintings/pictures. One restroom only.Pad See Ew: Stir fried flat noodle with egg, broccoli, and choice of meat (chicken) with sweet soy sauce (3.5/5). The noodles were soft yet had a nice chew to it. The other ingredients like the broccoli and meat was sparse.Spicy String Bean: Sauteed string bean, carrot, bell pepper, and basil with choice of meat (beef) in chili garlic sauce (3.5/5). The default spiciness is mild, which it was. Though, they did bring out the condiments of Thai chili, etc. The string beans were cooked perfectly. The beef needed more tenderizing.Crispy Fish With Sweet Garlic Sauce: Battered and deep fried filet rex sole topped with sala Thai sweet garlic sauce (5/5). Definitely a Sala Thai favorite! Sauce goes well on Jasmine Rice too!Yellow Curry (chicken): Yellow curry paste in a coconut milk with onion and potato (4/5). Creamy, thick curry waiting to be spooned over the steamed rice on your plate.Jasmine Rice (4/5). Cooked perfectly.Thai Ice Coffee (4/5) - i like it the way they prepare it here. My friend likes it sweeter and asked for more condensed milk."

This was my first time experiencing Tom Yum, the soup arrived in a container with a flame in the middle!! Kind of exciting!! The steam with hints of lemongrass and ginger were whirling around the pot!! My nose was happy with the wonderful smell from this soup!!! I ladled the soup into the bowls, observing the ingredients, chicken, mushroom, lemongrass, ginger. My first taste: mmmmm, lemongrass!!! Ginger!!!! Lemon or lime???? Yummy!!! My taste buds are very happy with the UMAMI!!! SCORE!!!!!! New favorite soup!!!Next to taste was the Basil Chicken, I asked for extra basil, I LOVE BASIL!!! I could tell I was going to enjoy this dish even before I tasted it!! The sauce was a dark sweet sauce, The basil and chicken seemed to dance together on the plate!!! DELICIOUS!!!!! I have had this same dish at other Thai Restaurants but not this tasty!!!!!! I could not stop serving myself this dish with steamed rice!!! I even thought about this dish after leaving the restaurant!!! The UMAMI flavor was filed in my brain as YUMMY MUST REPEAT THIS DISH!!!!These two dished were so loved by my taste buds they did not want to try the other dishes!! I pretty much only ate these two dishes!!!!!I want to return to Thai Village to try more items on their menu!!!! But I know which two dishes I will be ordering definitely!!!!!Sorry no photo of the yummy Tom Yum Soup"

Plus you can easily customize each order for the protein you want (including making things vegetarian/vegan) and the spice level.He always goes for the pineapple fried rice with tofu, finding that other places just don't seem to do it as well as Thai Chili Express. Being a noodle fiend, I usually go for Pad Kee Mao or Pad See Ew, but I've also had the Thai basil fried rice. Being somewhat particular about noodle dishes, I will say I've had some that I prefer elsewhere, but it's still solid here, and again reliable and consistent. I enjoyed the fried rice as well. Portion sizes are good if you have a big appetite or want some leftovers. We'll definitely continue coming here!"

We also ordered mango sticky rice as dessert - it was perfectly made and the mango was so fresh! The -1 star comes from the service when paying - when we were paying on the iPad at the end of our meal, the waitress wouldn't let go of the iPad for us to select tip. She then tried to select a tip option for us. We didn't appreciate that and would've preferred if she set the iPad down or handed it to us to finish payment, instead of gripping onto it.

Angela M. "Come here for the food, but don't expect much when it comes to service, which is next to non-existent.I've been here twice now, once for a weeknight dinner and once for a Sunday lunch. Both times, service has been limited to a cool greeting, being seated, having our order taken, and our food dropped off. Both times, the waitresses disappeared for the rest of the meal and flagging them down was an act of patience and determination, as they'd almost intentionally not make eye contact with anyone while rushing around the restaurant. It's bad enough for me to knock off a star.As for the food, it's unbelievably delicious. From the green curry to the panang curry, from the crispy spring rolls to the money bags, fried chicken over fried rice, and pad ka po, nearly everything here has been simply delicious. The only dish I didn't enjoy was the papaya salad, which was *really* heavy on the fish sauce and very unpleasant to eat. Otherwise, everything else is on the "would order again" list.Spice levels are no joke here. I love my spicy food but have to tone it down at SL Kitchen; I usually get the medium spice, which is plenty enough heat without causing discomfort and killing most of the flavors of your dish.SL Kitchen is a bit pricey, but I've come home with leftovers both times so I've at least gotten a couple meals out of each visit. You won't leave here hungry. Highly recommend for the food, but don't come here if you're on a tight schedule or don't like sitting around waiting. (There may be a reason why this place is so popular for takeout...) The restaurant at least has a nice interior, which makes for nice ambiance while eating and trying to flag down someone for a drink refill or the check."
