Went here twice and both times it was great. I had the Thai Basil and then the Thai Basil Noodles which I forgot the name. Spring rolls with shrimp was my go to appetizer. This is the best Thai in town.

Vida’s Thai Food: Moose, Mismatched Spice, and Modest Vibes
We stopped by Vida’s Thai Food while exploring Homer, and it’s in a great, easy-to-find location just off one of the main streets. Bonus: while we were sitting up front, a moose ran by. I mean—what better Alaskan dinner entertainment could you ask for?
Vibe: The interior has some lovely traditional Thai decor, but overall the atmosphere felt a little sparse. Some background music or more intentional ambiance would really help bring the space to life. It’s got potential but could use a bit more flavor in the vibe department.
Food: I ordered the bamboo soup and my wife ordered a different soup. Here’s the kicker: I’m not a spice fan. She is. So we were both confused (and a little amused) when they added heat to my dish and not hers. A spicy surprise when you didn’t ask for it? Not ideal. The broth itself had a decent flavor once I got past the heat, but it took me by surprise.
Our son had rice and chicken, which sounded like a safe bet, but the flavors were underwhelming—more “meh” than memorable. Maybe just a miss on this visit, but it didn’t win any tiny tastebuds over this time.
Service & Overall: Service was mellow, but everything came out at a reasonable pace. Everyone was friendly, and the space was clean. That counts for a lot.
Overall, Vida’s Thai has a nice foundation and the potential to be a local favorite with a few small tweaks: clearer spice control, a bit more atmosphere, and some refinement in flavor. We’ll probably give it another shot down the road; after all, any place where you can eat soup and watch a moose sprint by has its charm.
3.5 stars rounded up for the moose, the decor, and the potential.

Fantastic place. I asked them if they could make their pad thai with their duck from a different dish and they accommodated for that. Was one of the best things I've ever eaten. I went back two days later for the same thing.

Very tasty Thai food. We wanted to dine in but then realized that they were closing soon so we got take out on a Friday night. Yellow and panang curry. Both were very flavorful and delicious. And enough to even have left overs.

Vida's is my favorite year-round restaurant in Homer. The owners are delightful and make a point to connect with their guests. The food is fantastic. They've always been quick with my in-house dining and carry-out orders.

Great spot in Homer for Thai food. Delicious, and really friendly service! I love how tightly wrapped the fresh rolls were - they didn’t fall apart while eating and dipping them. The fresh basil in them was so good. Also had green curry, pad Thai and chicken fried rice - all delicious. We accidentally stayed a little past closing and we weren’t rushed at all. The restaurant has a large dining room and it’s located in downtown Homer in a convenient location with plenty of free parking.
