45 Best Thai Restaurants near Richmond

“first time eating here. great place, great food. Nadir was very attentive and made sure everything was going well“

“The lunch special was great. It came with your choice of appetizer, main dish and a soda drink, and for $2 more you can upgrade to the Thai tea. The food was good, especially the curry, I ordered it vegetarian style, and they added plenty of vegetables. The cozy ambiance made it perfect for a quick lunch, and I particularly admired the beautifully decorated bathroom - a unique touch! I'd suggest bringing some of that charm into the dining area. The 20% discount was a pleasant surprise, and the staff were exceptionally polite and efficient. While I prefer my Thai teas a bit sweeter, I still found this place to be a fantastic dining spot overall!“

“We enjoyed a great lunch. Very fresh food. I enjoyed the daily special which was avocado seafood dish. My colleagues enjoyed lunch specials. Everything here is fresh, service is quick and prices reasonable. This was not my first time here and won't be my last time.Vegetarian options: Many optionsParking: Street parking is available.“

“Great people Great Food! Ask for the chicken skins.“

“Friendly staff and lovely seating interior. Food was delicious with good wok fire. The sizzling seafood plate was flavorful and went well with jasmine rice. The red duck curry was delicious with sticky rice. Coconut pad Thai was very satisfying and great portion. I saw lots of take out orders getting delivered every several minutes at dinner time. Glad to find out about this restaurant as it stays open till 10 pm. Easy parking in its own lot. I will come back to try other dishes.“

“Very authentic Thai food. Casual environment. Love their dessert and the shrimp paste fried rice.“

“Great food quality and fantastic service.“

“I order the pumpkin curry. It was delicious. I also ordered the Tom Ka chicken soup. It was too tart, the chicken over cooked. A disappointment for a soup I usually love“

“Cool place (love the decor/style), nice staff & tasty food. Some dishes you will not find in the average Thai restaurant in the Bay Area. For example, the chef or owner is from northern Thailand so the menu features a top Northern Thai dish - Kao Soi noodle soup (beef or chicken), or the all time fav 'street food' grilled pork skewers (moo ping) served with sticky rice (ck out the menu on their website). I had the Pad Kemao Chicken (menu says beef but they are happy to make dishes with what you like & even have Beyond Meat dishes on the menu - cool to see stir fried basil with Beyond Meat (Krapao Beyond Neur)). The taste of my wok fried pad kemao was delicious, same or better than any I've had on prior trips to Bangkok. Glad to have discovered a solid Thai restaurant that doesn't have watered down flavors. Good to see they have a lot of gluten free and vegan choices on the menu too. Definitely will be back, keep up the good work!“

“A secret gem, cozy sweet place to meet up with friends, breakfast, brunch or lunch date or dine by urself ..love the vibe & omg I’m absolutely love the WAGYU Burger ? & the ‘greaseless’ fries r so perfect with that nice crunch“

“Excellent food with perfect taste and flavors. The price was right and more than reasonable. The quantity was substantial as well. We had the pad Thai and the green curry. We enjoyed both as it’s been difficult to find a good Thai place in the city.“

“Our neighborhood finally has a new gem of a restaurant! Everything about this spot is wonderful. The attention to detail in the decor (cozy fireplace, exposed brick, distressed woodwork, leaf-shaped cushions, gold silverware, plants galore) is transportive. The food is ravishingly fresh and thoughtfully prepared. On two different visits, we shared Market Salads, Chia Bowls, Yogurt Bowls, and Lava Eggs. Tanzie, the owner, is delightful, and you can tell she has a hand in every dish. My 8-year-old, who is a very picky eater, loved the yogurt bowl, eggs, and especially the Thai Beignets! Finally, a brunch I can look forward to, a few steps from my house...“

“Very delicious! Authentic taste! Took me back to Thailand in an instant! We ordered spicy pork liver salad, spicy beef salad, fried fish cakes, Esan sausages, dried tomyum noodles, pork skewers, sticky rice. Spicy pork liver salad was so tasty. Soft, creamy and super rich! Highly recommended to anyone who wants to try authentic and hard to find Thai cuisine. Paired super well with sticky rice. 10 out of 10! Spicy beef salad was also great but shine less bright than the spicy pork liver salad. 9 out of 10! Dried tomyum noodles, was very good as well. Not as authentic, but very hard to find evnen in the Bay Area. 8.5 out of 10. Fried fish cakes, esan sausages, were ok. The pork skewers weren't so impressive. Too big, too Americanized for its own good. Staffs were friendly, and the restaurant is cozy with retro 1960ish theme decor. *We ordered so many dishes but it was so good that I forgot to take pictures.“

“Wawa Thai delivered a delightful dining experience with their take-out Pad Thai. The dish was well-executed, boasting a harmonious blend of flavors and fresh ingredients. The noodles were perfectly cooked, and the balance of sweet, sour, and savory elements was spot on. Portion size was generous, ensuring satisfaction with every bite. Wawa Thai certainly earns a recommendation for those craving authentic Thai cuisine.“

“We ordered several items, pad Thai, pad see eew and papaya salad. All the items were delicious. The papaya salad was authentic as they come. This establishment has been around for decades and for good reasons. The service is super friendly. This is definitely a place for friends and families. It is also clean and spacious. There are street parking and also a parking lot in the back. In addition to the food, we also ordered the Thai ice tea and the ice coffee. They were also very delicious. Overall, we highly recommend giving this restaurant a try!“

“So happy we got to be one of the first customers to ever eat at this new Thai restaurant. The place inside is pretty small, but the decor is cute & simple. They make the most of the room by putting as many small tables that fit with seating mostly for tables of two or four. We were literally the second table to ever eat in this new spot. And wow, am I glad I decided to search Yelp today for lunch. The service was super sweet, friendly, and perfect. We had a hard time deciding on what to try first (because everything sounded good and the smells from the kitchen were amazing). What we ordered: - Tom Kha Soup with Chicken Excellently flavors and just enough spice for me. My spouse loves really spicy dishes and said it would be delicious with more spiciness, but thought the broth was so good that it didn’t even need to change. We actually just wish there was an option to order a larger size, it was that good! Sometimes my spouse like to just have soup as the entree. - Green Curry with Chicken (comes with rice) Wow! Super bright and fresh taste! Smells really good and tastes even better. It was very fresh and loved all the vegetables inside (eggplant soaked up all the delicious flavor just right, baby corn- yum, etc.). - Pad Cashew Nut with Pork (comes with rice) AMAZING. Mouth-wateringly delicious. I did not want the dish to end. It was the perfect amount of flavor and freshness. Loved the cashews, the carrots, the onions, the cilantro on top. Perfect combination of sweet & salty sauce with nuttiness from the cashews, enhanced by the onion, carrot, cilantro. Since it was their first day, we enjoyed free beverages. The Thai tea was so good- you can get oat milk for $1 more. The Black Mango Iced Tea was also delicious and you get refills on it. I cannot wait to go back and eat every dish. Since it was their first hour open, we were there when the Doordash photographer came to snap pictures of all the dishes. WOW! We were eyeing the Lobster Ravioli and honestly it looks too good to miss. So we’ll probably be back later this week to try it and more. Congratulations on your opening. Thank you for bringing delicious Thai food to the area. We just moved up here from San Diego, and we’ve been having a hard time finding true Thai food and flavors. Many of the Thai places we’ve eaten up up here lack flavor or are just different because they’re fused with Laotian dishes or another type of cuisine. Finely we found a great Thai places we can walk to from the University Village apartments. See you soon!“

“It’s the food, a 10 all the way. And, I’ll be back!“

“Love this family owned restaurant! I've been coming here for years, and they never disappoint. They are consistent and tasty. Every single dish. I fully support this restaurant. I use to live close and went at least one a week now I'm 45 minutes out & wishing they had one closer to me cause I have to drive a good 45 minutes to get here but I gladly do it when I can. Prices have gone up, but that is to be expected. They are still delicious, so it's totally worth it ?“

“Had dinner here Saturday, and the entire experience was phenomenal. We were a party of 4, with two wheelchair users -- we didn't have a reservation, but were given friendly accommodation, willingly assisting us with rearranging seating to work for us. Dinner for the 4 of us was extremely reasonably priced. My wife and I ordered the "Deluxe Set," which is quite honestly a steal. Super delicious, and we had about half of our food travel back with us to Sacramento and become yesterday's leftovers for brunch. (Do not sleep on the Deluxe Set!!)“

“The food was so bomb! It’s really amazing foood even it’s so prizey!“

“Our dining experience at Bangkok Garden last evening was nothing short of delightful. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were greeted by the warm smiles of the staff. They promptly escorted us to our table, where our orders were taken and served with remarkable efficiency. Accompanied by our two young children, who were exceptionally well-catered to, we indulged in a variety of dishes. The grilled chicken satay and the fresh spring rolls were the stars of the evening. It's certain that we will be returning for another memorable meal. Bangkok Garden comes highly recommended!“

“The food is very good, as are the prices. Duck curry is excellent, although they could be a tiny bit more generous with the duck. A sense of authentic Thai cuisine and culture right down to the seasoning and herbal tea leaves.Vegetarian options: A few vegetarian options.Wheelchair accessibility: Door seems wide enough. No stairs. Some tables accessible from the doorway. It is a relatively small restaurant.“

“A cut above most mom & pop neighborhood Thai spots, yet still reasonably priced. Good food, nicely plated, nice staff.“

“This place is VERY CONSISTENT!!! The food is ALWAYS fresh and prepared well. I have yet to be disappointed. The staff remembers you and treats you like a special guest EVERY TIME“

“Super yummy food, looking for a new Thai place and this is going to be it. Crab fried rice delicious, chicken pad Thai was authentic, fresh spring rolls was super fresh, and the papaya salad had great textures. Friendly staff, an all round great experience. Will definitely be frequenting this place often“

“I love to take out of town visitors to Champa Garden. A trip here is a trip off the beaten path, away from the trendy parts of town, a trip to East Oakland, out of a lot of people's comfort zones. What kind of cuisine is it?? Is it Thai? Is it Lao? Is it Tai Lue? It's all of the above -- a cultural hodgepodge, hard to pigeonhole like the City itself. To further extend the metaphor, like Oakland, the flavors of Champa Garden are funky & fresh!The tables are covered in condiments inviting you to further customize these mashed up dishes. I haven't had anything I didn't like here. But don't miss the rice ball salad, or the Lao sausage. My son swears by their fried rice. Come take a trip to the avenues, be patient if you arrive at 7pm, over order (it's not expensive), and bring a few friends.“

“Cozy, petite Thai eatery on Lombard, designed to evoke a manicured side street in Bangkok.Tom Kha Soup, a coconut milk broth wonderfully fragrant from lemongrass, kaffir lime leaf, galangal and chili — perfect with a side of rice noodles dipped in.While tasty, the price point seems to reflect more the neighborhood than the kitchen’s unique ability. Nothing far from the classic standard.“

“We've been thinking about trying this restaurant for some time now, and I'm very glad we did. Our past Thai favorite, Champa Garden, seems to have gone downhill. Charm Thai Bistro, our new favorite, is much closer. We split an appetizer, the puff pastry turnovers, which we never had in Thailand. The waiter told us that they were street food. Whatever, they're delicious. Then we had a Pad Thai (very good) and a green curry. I thought it was perfect, but it was a little spicy for my husband, so if you prefer a milder spiced dish, tell the waiter. I can't wait to try their other curries and house specialties. I might even try the Black Sticky Rice Mango pudding, even though after having it in Thailand, it's always something of a disappointment in the U.S.“

“Many Thai restaurants run into the problem of being too similar to each other, but Secrets of Tiger offers a wide array of unique dishes that have Japanese and Thai characteristics without sacrificing on also delivering on classic Thai dishes. I love the coziness of the place and the staff are very attentive with both service at the table and care for the food. Definitely a great place for all meals of the day!“

“We had diner at Thai Lao restaurant this evening with some friends and got a wonderful experience. The restaurant is very cosy and well managed, the food is delicious healthy and the plates well served. People are efficient, dedicated and polite. Special thanks to the boss, a wonderful women, Merci beaucoup et q bientôt!“

“Wow. Drunken beef, chicken with green beans, and chicken satay were all amazing, Coming back next week with colleagues.“

“It’s a wonderful place to satisfy your cravings for Thai cuisine. The cozy and clean atmosphere with friendly staff adds to the overall dining experience.“

“I ordered a chicken pad kea mao (drunken noodles) and it was really good although… they gave me pork instead of chicken. And I didn’t know about that until they came over to the table with the plate that had chicken. Thankfully I am able to eat pork but… be careful if you are not— ask twice to make sure you get the right dish. Otherwise, they were very accommodating to our very large group.“

“Probably the best Thai food I have ever had!“

“My favorite is Su Kho Thai...A hot and sour soup base with rice noodles, ground pork, pork, crispies. Great for a cold day like today.“

“Best food ever... Best place ever... I love this place..“

“The standard Thai menu items like green curry and pad see ew were unusually good. The “Thai home cooking” menu items like “mee cook”and “custard bread” dessert were bland and not tasty.“

“Yes! Yes! Yes!Mouthwatering flavors and beautifully sweetened Thai tea. Every dish I ordered was made to perfection and the flavors were orgasmically on point.I am absolutely coming back to try more dishes.Charming little location with a unique exterior esthetic and they have a private parking lot. Worth a visit!“

“How often do you go to a restaurant and love everything you order? You know me, not often. The food here was outstanding, so let's get to it. The roti was so good we had to each order our own. Mango Duck: I was super hesitant when it read "cripsy" and had low expectations, but man it was crispy and so was the basil and it was great with the red curry. Delicious if you like duck! Spicy basil: Great green beans and tasty dish. Crab Fried Rice: I read all the great reviews about this, and though, you know me, I'm not a fried rice person, I decided to take the plunge. This crab rice was fluffy and the egg mixed in with the crab was fresh and flavorful and not at all fishy. The side chili sauce had a kick to it. Mango Sticky Rice: Sweet mangos that really hit the spot, and a large portion of warm sticky rice. This dessert was enough for share. Service was average, and it was empty during lunch, but the food here is a winner. My coworker was even talking about future Doordash orders!“

“I'm not even kidding when I say the chicken on the BBQ chicken sandwich is the best chicken I've ever had on a sandwich ever. It was so juicy and the sandwich was incredible. I cannot wait to come back. I cannot recommend highly enough!“

“No complaints here. We went at an off time so the restaurant was pretty empty and we were served in a timely manner. Inside it's clean and fun thai decorations and paintings around. Not too much else to say about that they also had mints and candy when you leave which I appreciate a lot. For food I got the khao soo and let me tell you they do not skimp on portions. All my friends foods were very well sized given the price and I took basically another meals worth of khao soo back home. The soup it's self was ver flavorful and rich broth and the noodles were chewy and a good feel. They use chicken breast pieces I believe instead of bone in chicken legs. The mango sticky rice was a classic they drizzle some sweet coconut syrup on top as well“

“they serve delicious,fresh and yummy food items,friendly environment with great hospitality.“

“Grand Avenue Thai is awesome. Fresh cooked Thai cuisine with flavor out of this world. The owners are fantastic people. You can’t go wrong dining here!“

“Nice, located of Willow shopping center. Several eateries nearby including a drive in Starbucks. I looked around and decided to go for the Won Thai restaurant, ordered the lunch special, fried catfish with rice, on the plate I got a colorful plate with a scoop of steam rice next to pan fried filet of catfish with plenty of green beans, fresh tomato pieces, sautéed on a lite curry sauce and sliced purple and green cabbage garnish.“

“Do not sleep on this place. I have been to a lot of brunch spots and THIS PLACE WAS DELICIOUS. Since it's a Wednesday and we came right when it opened it was just us, so obviously fast and good service. We ordered the Crispy Thai Tea French Toast and they had a lunch combo menu where you could choose an appetizer, entree, and drink for $19.99. I opted for this option and the Pad Kee Mao and Spring Rolls were soo good. Other reviews have mentioned the Thai Tea French Toast was too sweet, but it didn't bother us, we thought the sweetness was fine! I will definitely come back again for brunch“
