We were in the mood for Thai food and went to Charm Thai on a Saturday night. It wasn't busy and we were seated right away next to the only occupied table. Moments later, another group came they were seated next to us so suddenly it became very loud in a nearly empty restaurant. It would have been more pleasant to sit further away from others. The food was good. We ordered pad Thai (nice size order), fried fish (so good), and chicken noodle soup (a bit plain and bland, I always forget this and order it again).

I've been looking for a Thai spot in San Mateo and decided to try this one out. We ordered the Pad Thai and Pla Pad Cha. The Pad Thai was mainly noodles, didn't have a lot of tofu or chicken and was on the sweeter side. The Pla Pad Cha was flavored amazingly but it was lacking sauce. The fish was fresh and crispy!Servers were nice and the food came quite quick.

I came with my friend because we had a craving for Thai food. The service was good, the server was welcoming. 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.

Such a yummy Thai spot in San Mateo! They have the perfect spice scale, spicy mean spicy. It's a little bit cozy so you might have to wait for seating, but the food is definitely worth it. The staff are all super friendly and everything we ate was delicious.

I've been to this cozy Thai restaurant located on the main road of San Mateo couple of times over 8 years ago and loved all my visits and food ate here. This is for the latest order of food we got doordashed from Charm Thai.Hubby was feeling under the weather and was craving something hot and spicy to sooth this throat.Tom yum soup chicken : a classic soup, very tasty, comforting and delicious. Had the kick to it. He loved it. We got the medium spice but should have gone up to spicy. Pad ke mao: another classic that I love to eat at Thai restaurants. Here it's pretty good, thick sauces coated and sticking well to flat rice noodles, fresh chicken and veggies. Came piping hot. Again we got medium but I can definitely handle much more.Honestly I finished my noodles in 1 sitting. Now am not sure if my appetite went up or the portion size was smaller. I believe it's the 2nd one haha Packaging was clean and intact.

Came here on a Saturday around 12pm with a party of 2 and were seated immediately. Service is prompt and food came out fast.Dishes:Tom Yum (Shrimp) - delicious! Tom yum is my favorite thing to order at all Thai restaurants. This iteration is great, I'm a big fan of the large chunks of onion since it's a bit more of a unique take but I liked how the flavor profile worked out. You also get nice big chunks of mushrooms and tomatoes, it really hits the spot.Pumpkin Curry (Chicken) - delicious and filling. The curry has great flavor and pairs really well with chicken as the protein. High recommendOther dishes:* brown jasmine rice (also recommend this - healthy and delicious!)* thai ice coffee* string beansBetween two people these dishes were the perfect portions for us. We finished everything, no leftovers.

They must have sold and have new owner. The food is horrendous. Pad Thai bad. Where the hell did the Kra Pow go? I can't even find it on the menu. The egg rolls are full of wood ear mushrooms and not much else. AND no respectful Thai person would use jalapenos instead of Thai or birds eye chilies. Get out of here. Never ordering from here again.

It's still hard to find a decent pad Thai spot in the Bay Area with San Mateo being no exception. I been here about 5+ times. Mostly for indoor dining lunch and once for takeout. My go to item would be ordering the pad thai with beef. Since I been back they have updated the menus once with the lunch specials at $15 now. This is my first time eating here since the updated menu. The pad Thai today was a bit watery and ketchupy for me. I requested a 9 spicy and got a 6 spicy with a 10 sweet.I also ordered a coke with the price coming out to 22.47. Double wammy in my book. The dish was a super let down I even asked the manager if they changed cooks to which the manager replied no. Overall I was coming here for the pad Thai.

We've ordered takeout from Charm Thai a LOT of times! We generally call and place the order and it's ready to pickup in 15 min. The pad kee mow and pad see ew noodles are delicious. The samosas are great too. We got the pineapple fried rice once but didn't like it.
