What an amazing find! My husband and I stopped before our evening flight out of SFO and wow were we blown away! We had the soft shell crab curry, Pad Thai and each a drink! It is definitely the best Pad Thai we’ve ever had! We will be making this a routine stop to SFO!

Had the absolute BESTEST (not a word, but it fits!) red curry with chicken and brown rice — rich, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. We also tried the Golden Pouches, Thai Hot Pot Stickers, Panang Salmon, BBQ Beef Short Ribs, Sautéed Green Beans, Minced Pork Basil, Pad Thai Chicken, Sticky Rice with Fresh Mango, Double Chocolate Cake, and Thai Tea Cake. Yes, we went all out — and every single dish was amazing.
The restaurant was clean and neat, the service was outstanding, and the wait time for dinner wasn’t bad at all. Overall, this place totally deserves 10 stars if it were possible. Highly recommend!

Wine had been clearly uncorked and was very oxygenated and bitter when we were served.

I found my new favorite Thai spot in Burlingame—absolutely worth the trip! The food here is incredibly authentic, and the entire experience exceeded expectations. We started with the tasty chicken satay—the peanut sauce was spot-on perfect—followed by rich, flavorful panang curry and classic pad thai. Every dish tasted fresh and true to authentic Thai flavors.
The iced tea was also just right, not overly sweet, and brought back memories of traveling in Thailand. We finished the meal with crispy fried banana and ice cream, which was the perfect ending. Service was quick, friendly, and the happy hour was a great bonus.
Highly recommend this place for anyone craving real Thai food done right!

I have eaten here three times. Each time the food has been excellent with fresh ingredients. We eat quite a bit of Thai and other Asian food in New York, San Francisco, LA and DC as well as southeast Asia and this was one of the better restaurants I’ve been to. I think it deserves a much, much higher rating. I would highly recommend it.

Delicious Thai food, reasonably priced and nicely decorated. We ordered the Lady’s Finger for appetizer and Drunken Noodles and Chicken-Pineapple fried rice for main dishes. Everything was so flavorful, freshly made and in generous portions perfect for table sharing. Service was also prompt and warm. Very recommended !

The best Thai food we've had in Burlingame or San Mateo - so a good, local, solid restaurant (wish I could give them a 4.5 but between 4 and 5, I'd pick 5). The food is quite tasty - been going here for over 10 years. Really like the drunken noodles, the sea bass, and the eggplant and tofu. Our family has had the skewers and they really like them as well. Again, better food in SF but that's a long way to go and the food here is more than respectable - we tend to do 80% takeout since we live nearby - the food is better than the ambience inside the restaurant but the restaurant is good was well.
Update 5/13/25: their takeout has gotten increasingly unreliable - twice now I’ve been told 25 minutes for food to be ready only to wait more than 45 min. Today it was at first 25 min, then 30 min and so far I’m waiting 50 min and still no food. Don’t believe their estimated timing - they are not accurate - recently mine have been way underestimated and I wait and wait and wait. Once it was ready very early so by the time I got home the food was cold
