31 Best Thai Restaurants near Castro Valley

“I had a great experience at this Thai restaurant. It has a nice cozy mom n’ pop atmosphere to it. Service was good, I ordered a cup of tom yum soup with a side of jasmine rice and it was very yummy. My friend who I went with is from Castro Valley and they always order the Pad Kee Mao. Super solid option if you’re craving noodles and a bit of spice! This is just my preference but I really liked how they used glass cups for water rather than plastic like how most restaurants use. The only thing that I wish they included on their menu is a papaya salad. I love papaya salad so I was a bit disappointed when I couldn’t find it on the menu. Overall, this was a solid Thai restaurant so I would recommend trying it and supporting their small business!“

“Sweet little restaurant. Not fancy but homey. Wait staff was sparse that day so could have been a little more attentive; however, the service was super friendly and good. Not a huge area for parking but you can park on the street. Excellent Thai food. Will definitely return!“

And amazing food . . And yes, amazing cocktails!! Down to the last finishing touches ! We will definitely be back !“

“This place is a hidden gem! It has a small semi-shaded patio with water fountain and gorgeous greenery....bougainvillea and all sorts of large cactus plants. The indoors is very cozy yet elegant. They serve a wide variety of colourful, delicious meals. We enjoy being off the main thoroughfare and tucked away here. The service has always been very friendly and welcoming .“

“We got take out . All the stuff we ordered came correct . I thoroughly enjoyed this crab fried rice. The sauce it came with was a flavor bomb! My cousin is allergic to shellfish but it was so good he ate some anyways . I guess it was worth the runs. Their samosa , pad Thai and soups were great !“

“Great food and service, would recommend, love it 😋“

“New spot on San Leandro. Unique themed restaurant to take out but Out door area, there are many tables provided for you as well. Bamboo hut with wooden chairs and table. It's super cool and chic. Check it out!!!“

“Delicious food, great service, fun atmosphere!“

“I recommend the pancakes.great people .Great conversations with the owners.if you eat here you will not leave hungry“

“Delicious Thai food with bold, authentic flavors — a true delight.
Every dish we tried was flavorful and satisfying. The fried rice and curries were particularly well-balanced and seasoned just right.

However, I had requested double egg in the fried rice and clearly mentioned I was fine with the extra charge. Despite that, the dish arrived with barely any visible egg, which was disappointing. Additionally, while the service was fast, it felt a bit rushed — likely due to the small dining space and high turnover.

That said, the food quality speaks for itself. Would return for the taste alone.“

“Great customer service and the food was delicious. Our eyes were bigger than our stomach, but hey, great leftovers 😋“

“I have been a loyal customer since the establishment opened. It is one of my preferred dining establishments in the Bay Area. The food is quite satisfactory, but it fluctuates. It is imperative to note that they do not have air conditioning during the hot summer months. It is hoped that this issue will be resolved by the forthcoming summer. It is crucial to book a large group's table. This establishment is somewhat expensive, so it is advisable to be prepared. With some of the dishes, the portions are quite small, such as their fried calamari, but they are quite tasty. Highly recommend! So give it a shot!“

“Went there for dinner on NBA All Star Game Night. We discovered this place while hunting for a place to eat in the neighborhood. We ordered Pad Woon Sen, Yellow Curry, Mango Curry and Pineapple Fried Rice. Each dish was flavorful, and the Curries go superbly with white rice! Wait staff was very attentive, the decor was tasteful and uncluttered, making the experience very enjoyable. We will be back to try the other offerings!“

“They just hosted our annual Post-Thanksgiving Dinner. We were a party of 30. So much amazing food, and the service was wonderful. There are some special dishes we ordered that needed to be pre-ordered. “House Special Crab and Curry Crab” did not disappoint. We will definitely be back to try more dishes when we are in town.“

“😄Authentic Thai, great tastes“

“I really loved the Lao Special menu. You can order small portion of diverse foods. I ordered several items I have never eaten before, and they were all fantastic. The fermented pork sausage was the most "out there" dish from an American point of view: I didn't even know such a thing existed. Nice interior, and the service is great. This is some of the best Laotian food I've tried in the Bay. It turns out the portions are pretty generous, so I took soke home for another meal.“

“The praram sauce was delicious. They made the sauce vegetarian on request and it was absolutely delicious despite a modification. The veggies in the praram vegetables dish were cooked to perfection as well. Waiting for next visit 🤤

Vegetarian options: Truly vegetarian alternatives on request. At a lot of places the vegetarian swaps taste fishy (pun unintended). No such thing here, their vegetarian dishes are truly free from meat/fish. Thank u Pagarung 🙏“

“Every time I have a business meeting or want to get together casually with friends, I suggest Mai Thai. It's consistently good food, nice portions, nice staff, and nice ambiance. It's on the other side of town for me, but always worth the trek. It's also in a nice location if you want to stop by the bakery nearby or the grocery store, too. My go-to dish is the eggplant with basil. It's cooked to perfection every time, and it's always plenty of food.“

“This is a nice Thai BBQ place. We got Phad See-Ew with chicken, Chef's Special Seafood Combo Plate which came with Shrimps, scallops, mussels, squid. Fried shrimp & fried calamari, with a chicken fried rice. Everything was good except I felt the fried calamari and fried shrimp had to much breading on them we ended taking some of the breading off. Overall everything had good flavor, also the prices listed online are not the correct prices in store.“

“I met friends (who had never experienced Thai food before) at House of Basil for lunch. I ordered for us, because I'm a big fan of Thai food, and selected Satay, Green Curry with Chicken, Rendang Beef, and of course, some Pad Thai. Everything was delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant, and will definitely return when I'm back in the area!“

“Outstanding flavors , packed with protein and vegetables. Quantity was good.“

“I must say, the food and service from this family owned restaurant is one of the best I've experienced in a while!

From the food to desserts, everything was delicious and portioned generously. They ran out of ice cream for the fried banana, but it still hit the spot with the honey glaze.

I will definitely be back again soon!“

“Food is good and Shorty, our host, is very nice and funny.“

“Decoration is Thai traditional

One of my favorite Thai restaurants to go to! This place has incredibly reasonable prices and food quality is really. Food portions are really big and they taste really good.

The place is really nice but dim here, but doesn’t really change the fact that this restaurant is good for eating with Thai traditions decoration. Staff are very friendly when they use simple greetings to say hi to customers.

Definitely will come back for more!“

“I have been coming to this World Wrapps spot for years now, and aside from the fact that the food is just delicious? The customer service is beyond outstanding!
The food has fresh and delicious ingredients, perfectly proportioned to where you feel satisfied with every meal. But what makes this place really special are the employees. Anya is so sweet and remembered my order from just one time she assisted me. Her and other employees like Cesar are such a pleasure to see and engage with. Everyone is amiable, and you truly feel appreciated as a customer, whether you are doing take-out or enjoying your meal dining in. I will drive from wherever just to have a good meal and relax while doing so. I can’t recommend enough! Love this place!“

“Yummy food with good environment ♥️♥️“

“I love the atmosphere and the service.

However when you look at the menu you think the prices look reasonable ($13 for pad see ewe) is maybe $3-$5 less than the next Thai restaurant, but when you get the meal you see why its cheaper - theyre like half orders. I had to get 2 noodles dishes ($26 together) before I felt satisfied with the portion.. but that makes it cost more than any other place - really.

So id suggest, coming here for a light brunch would be a fantastic idea, because their Thai iced tea portion is ridiculously large 😆 and super reasonably priced at i believe $4?

But if youre super hungry, dont come here or you'll find yourself having to order 2-3 dishes to fill up, & that wont be cheap.“

“Today, I discovered a Taishan-style restaurant. I haven’t seen it for a long time. It’s the taste of my childhood. You can add your favorite salty soup balls and ingredients according to your own taste. Their steamed rice is also pretty good, nutritious and delicious. Nothing I ordered was too bad, the dishes were rich and colorful, and the service was very good. I will try their rice bowls and skewers next time. The ones ordered by the next table looked very good, and they also have several nourishing soups. I recommend everyone to try it!“

“Best food ever great service been to all three highly recommended 😋5 star's definitely“

“I eat Thai food once a week and this ranks among the best in the area...smaller, unassuming place but a very pleasant waitstaff and crazy good food...they also understood “mild” and adjusted all the dishes perfectly...we tried 5 items and all were good!“

“Excellent food and excellent service. I love their Cho Chi Fish Fillet curry among a bunch of items on the menu.“
