“It was a great place to get food! they have a long menu, and everything looks delicious. The poke bowl was bigger than I ever seem, and I like how many veggies I got (definitely a plus for me), and the seasoning is new. They didn't fully defrost the tuna, but I think it was okay, and the food was clean“

“Delicious food, great service, fun atmosphere!“

“We often bring out-of-towners here because it's hard to find Laotian food outside of the Bay and Vientian Cafe always delivers. The menu is super extensive and very reasonably priced, so you can try a bunch of new things each time. We always get the nam kao and the lao sausage (which you can also take home frozen). Angel wings are also super addictive.

Food also travels well if you're looking for takeout. One of our favorite spots in the east bay!“

“Have not eaten here in years and we don’t know why because the food is good! We enjoyed everything we ordered and will definitely be back soon to try other menu items.

Here’s what we ordered:
* tom ka
* ginger fish
* spicy catfish
* seafood spicy fried rice

They make for good leftovers so over-order like what we did!“

“Good place in a shopping center. Looks like they are moving. We stumbled into a place under construction and the crew told us to keep going. Found it eventually. Lunch special was certainly enough food. Patio was nice as it was congested at the inside tables.“

“Just happened to stop by, because Food Mill is right next's door . Was just gonna just get some Thai ice tea, but they had Thai ice coffee and just went with that. Spotted Thai boat noodle on the menu.... It's been awhile.... So took it TOGO. Overall... Super delicious. Great flavor. Not overwhelming. Although I probably would of want the wider noodles. I'll try to request that next's time if it's possible to switch it up. 😋“

“Delicious. Fresh. Unique. These are words i would describe the food at World Wraps. I had the basil beef wrap in a rice paper wrap and it was by far my favorite thing I've eaten in San Ramon. The staff were very helpful and extremely friendly. Thank you Diego for helping with my order, it is much appreciated!“

“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 am a huge fan of Thai cuisine! It is, in fact, one of my absolute favorites.
I have had the pleasure of dining at various Thai restaurants across different cities and countries—Los Angeles, New York, Nice, and others. But I can assure you with absolute certainty: I have never tasted anything better or more delicious among Thai restaurants than the dishes served right here at Mai Thai. The food is delicious, generous, and exquisite, featuring a truly stunning presentation—all served with warmth and love! To all fellow fans of Thai cuisine, I wholeheartedly recommend this specific restaurant: Mai Thai.
I have never had such a delicious meal anywhere else, nor have I ever been welcomed with such warmth, attentiveness, and a true home-away-from-home feeling!
I love you guys!!!“

“I didn't expect such a big menu of everything. Lots of popular Thai food dishes. I was mostly impressed with the Thai fusion dishes. Everything was delicious and packed with flavor. My husband enjoyed the Kimchi Pad Thai. love the huge crepe menu. Definitely will be back to try out more on the menu!“

“I was a little put off by the health department biotic ln the door but decided to take the chance. It had gone from closed to conditional due to an issue with a water pipe problem, the staffer told me as I checked out. The food was good and plentiful. I’d eat here again.“

“It's a charming and beautiful restaurant. The staff were kind, the atmosphere great. The food was delicious! The yellow curry and beef salad are my favorites. The prices ate affordable and large food portions. It's a great place to eat and share with loved ones.“

“Awesome family owned Thai restaurant in Fremont. Visited with friends from San Francisco, and the owner Sonya was very hospital and friendly. We ordered a pad Thai, pineapple chicken fried rice and chicken satay. Would recommend!“

“Everything here was surprisingly good. Service was good, restaurant is cute and small. With the restaurant being small a 2 seat table is tiny. Like one appetizer and entre tiny. Got the fried egg rolls and kow soi duck, first time trying duck. Both are really good. Will be back again“

“I’ve eaten here only one time and gotten take out a number of times. This is a great neighborhood Thai restaurant. Everything I’ve ordered, which is mostly the vegetarian options has been super solid. I love their pad prik khing. I do feel terrible every time I pick up my takeout that there are so few customers dining in. In 2026, I’m going to dine in here more often since they’re so nice!“

“Yummy food with good environment ♥️♥️“

“Really enjoyed my experience here! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The soup was especially delicious, with a rich and comforting broth, and the chicken and shrimp were cooked perfectly. The portion was generous, and everything tasted fresh and well prepared. The atmosphere was also cozy and relaxing, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. Definitely a spot I’d come back to and recommend to others!“

“I've been contemplating going to this place for years. I wasn't able to stop by there because I was always at work. I finally went with my family and they don't miss a beat. It was on point. I will go there every week if I could. Everything was tender. Delicious, flavorful, colorful and pretty much healthy, which is rare nowadays. You can tell that they have been in this business for a while cuz they know what they're doing“

“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!“

“Vulcan Thai Cafe is the kind of neighborhood restaurant that leaves an impression well beyond the meal itself. Lily, the owner, was an exceptionally gracious host: warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure the dining experience was a memorable one. She took the time to explain the menu with care and shared stories of Thai culture that gave the meal a welcome sense of place and authenticity.

I ordered the Emerald Salmon Curry, and it was excellent. The salmon was complemented by a beautifully balanced curry sauce, which was fragrant, nuanced, and seasoned with remarkable precision. The vegetables were crisp and fresh, offering just the right contrast in texture while absorbing the flavors of the curry without losing their character.

Between the quality of the food and Lily’s generous hospitality, Vulcan Thai Cafe offers far more than a good meal; it offers the sort of personal, culturally rich dining experience that makes a restaurant worth returning to.“

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

“My husband and I visited Wednesday, September 9, 2026 for the first time. We walked from our hotel, the residence Inn. The location was ideal. The restaurant is small But inviting. We had a seafood dish that was delicious with coconut milk and red curry sauce. It was served quickly, and the staff was friendly and attentive. It was a good experience. I would highly recommend.“
