50 Best Thai Restaurants near Mill Valley

“This is one of my favorite restaurants. When we lived in Mill Valley, it was on the short list of our rotation: locally owned, wonderful staff and even better than wonderful food. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Now that I live in Illinois, I make a point to eat here every time I am in the Bay Area. I have not found Thai in the US that I like better.“

“the Thai soup with the prawns in it I like mine spicy“

“Amazing food at a great price“

“I really think the food here could be so much better. The ingredients were fresh and the presentation lovely. However, everything we ordered had loads of sugar in it, including the papaya salad which is supposed to be citrusy. The prawns in it were cooked to perfection. Pra Ram and Pad Se Ew were exceptionally sweet. The chicken in it was tender, good quality, and the noodles were good quality, too. All the sugar added to the dishes, in my opinion, ruined them and there was a lot. I missed the savoriness of Thai Food. Unfortunately, this is a dealbreaker for me and won’t be back. We also waited a bit too long for someone to come take our order, even though there were only 2 parties seated. Please don’t use sugar in your food!“

“The mango sticky rice is different this time around but I came around to it. The restaurant is warm and homely, I would give it 5 stars but I really don't trust the old chairs, at my height and weight. I ordered online and picked it up myself. I was greeted respectfully and there was space to wait, although I didn't have to wait more than a few minutes. When you order online, it doesn't give just a vegetable option, when it comes to the curry. So I'm very grateful that they read my note for no tofu and only vegetables. The food was really good and decently priced. I loved the slight spice and the aromatics that marinated into the veggies. It was so warm and delightful.“

“Lovely dinner at Prik Hom. Scallop & lemongrass appetizer & dessert (coconut pancakes & coconut ice cream) were by far my favorites. Mushroom curry soup was light and subtle. Seafood curry was rich & tasty, but did not love the texture of the stir fried shrimp. They were out of a few things like white rice and coconut water. Quiet atmosphere conducive to casual catchup with friends. Like another reviewer said, def worth trying at least once!“

“The place is very quaint but clean. It gets crowded during lunch so book ahead. I brought my friend here and she loves the food.

We both got seafood lunch set. Ingredients are clean, not greasy not oily. It feels healthy. Everything is well seasoned and not too salty. I have sensitive stomach and this feels very light. But still very filling.

For the amount of food at $40 I’ll come back“

“Great food quality and fantastic service.“

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

“This place was so busy! Every table filled! People on a list waiting. More outside! Multiple big groups. The staff was working so hard! They were fantastic! We ordered over the phone, and immediately understood why it was hard to hear them! The place has very high ceilings, the sound of happy diners was very loud!

The food was yummy! So yummy! Loved their take on a fresh roll. Pad Se Ew has a nice bit of color from cooking like it should! The catfish deluxe was amazing. Yellow curry with chicken was great too. Good find.“

“Cozy space.
Ordered the regular beef set 28.95.
Each dish was fine alone.
Lovely to mix up.
Eggplant and beef soup is great.

Maybe don't bring out cold dessert at the same time as hot food. Are you rushing us to finish early before it warms up and leave :')“

“Brilliant flavor combinations and beautiful presentation. The gaeng bumbai aubergine has the the right amount of heat without being overpowering.“

“They were very creative with their menu. Our favorite was the fried shrimp rings. They were perfectly crispy on the outside and bouncy on the inside. Although there was a minor error in our order, they promptly rectified it for us. We truly appreciate their attention to detail and customer service!“

“Cozy restaurant, can fit a few small parties but the food was solid. We were in the area and were craving Thai food, this def hit the spot. We got the pad see ew and crab fried rice and mango sticky rice. My only wish is the mango was a lil bit bigger lol. If this is any testament to the authenticity of the cuisine, the entire staff was Thai.“

“Really beautiful place, wait staff were very kind. My husband and I were originally planning on going somewhere else but were just so enticed by the ambience of the restaurant that we decided to eat here instead. Soup, Thai tea, and pad woo sen were lovely. Definitely recommend :)“

“My friend and I came here on a Wednesday night for dinner. We were seated immediately. Order was taken and the food was served very quickly.

My friend ordered the stirred fried noodle and I ordered the crab omurice. Great flavor with generous portion. I honestly have to say the crab omurice is overrated since it is the signature. The amount of crab meat is lacking.

I would be back to try for different dishes since the flavors are definitely great.“

“Best Thai food in SF. I highly recommend“

“Pyszne jedzenie. Polecam“

“Best Thai restaurant in San Francisco, Ca. Food was delicious!“

“Delecious food and exceptional service. A must visit in the SAN Francisco area.“

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

“good food and great service“

“Such great food and people. We were hungry driving around looking for that magical parking spot next to an acceptable eating spot bingo! We found it all at Gai. Unsure of what kinda of cuisine I said take the chance they’ve got a chicken on the sign so it’s actually food. And boy was it good. Delicious. Freshly prepared Asian Thai or Vietnamese food. I got the Original Chicken Rice bowl with side of broccali. My friend got the salad with Tofu. Both great. He sauces are fresh and flavorful. One is quite hot which I love. I recommend it. And as we sat there from 1:30 pm to 2:30, there were multiple to go orders being picked up. I think there were about 5 orders at a time rotating. Fresh Fast Full of Flavor. We hit the jackpot!“

“Tiny place, only 4 tables. Cash only, but honestly that's how you know it's gonna be good. Very tasty, generous portions, happy to make a vegetarian version of one of the otherwise meaty dishes. Excited to eat these leftovers later!“

“Top notch. I’d highly recommend the sizzling platters. The Sizzling Beef Bomb was excellent. Fresh with very tender beef. The Sizzling Salmon with curry sauce was very nicely done as well. 👍 all round“

“Service was fast and efficient. Food was good.“

“Hi I am delighted to have Royal Thai as a friend for Take dinners needs during these shelter times. Support your local restaurant. San Rafael , you got my buisness. Plus your Thai food is darn good“

“Got a recommendation from the hotel, and it was great! Service was eh yet not bad. Kitchen was busy and quick. Food delicious. High prices - $15 for a bowl of soup… but overall I would go back.“

“Great food and good service at reasonable price.🙏👍“

“Every time I go Basil Thai, I'm always impressed by each prepared dish. Each entree I have had has its own unique flavor and taste absolutely delicious. You will not be disappointed. ⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Cozy place for breakfast in town. Good foods mixture between American and Thai highly recommend friendly service .“

“Delicious, flavorful, and quick. My husband and I were looking for a place to have dinner before a show at the Orpheum and this did not disappoint. We arrived an hour before the show and were able to get chicken satay, yellow curry with rice, and pad Thai with more than enough time to walk back to the theatre. Beautiful mural and I enjoyed their music selection.
No photos because I couldn’t resist long enough to take a photo before eating.“

“On my first visit to San Francisco, I stumbled upon this gem. From the moment I walked in, I felt at home. The food was incredible, and meeting the owner-chef was a treat—everything was perfectly prepared, fast, and the service was excellent. The location was clean, and I can’t thank them enough for making me feel at ease. A true standout!“

“I’ve had my eye on this little restaurant for quite a while now, as I’m a big fan of soups. The waiter did an excellent job—he actually advised me *not* to order a main course, warning me that the soup portion would be huge, and he was genuinely concerned I wouldn't be able to finish it all! I’m truly grateful to him for that; I definitely wouldn't have been able to handle a second dish as well. That is exactly how real waiters should operate—offering genuine recommendations on menu choices, rather than just trying to upsell you! Major kudos! And the soup was superb!“

“ThaINery – International Food Court is located on the corner of Bush and Kearny streets and in the heart of FD which is an affordable, authentic Thai and tasty place “lo major de mejores” and the only survivor of this once always packed popular lunch joint [*Lee’s Kitchen, French-Vietnamese Pho, Pao Jao Dumpling & Ramen, Pushkin, Taqueria Estrella and Bibim Soul Bunsik Korean Street Food are all gone together with very short-lived “Katsuya” and “Yucatown.”]
My all-year round favorite dish at the ThaiNery is tasty eggplant tofu over rice $15 (used to be $10) which imhv is a delicious, affordable and “safe bet” ingredients wise. The owners are a middle-aged sliding young couple originally from Thailand and several cooks currently and in the past are Yucatecos who have appreciated how to cook authentic Thai through “combat experience” with an attitude to learn, improve and master. 🫡
Support our backbone mom-and-pop shops as we ordinary citizens can make a difference and leave big shot businesses to the wealthy elite & politicians😉 such as the food court which is a silhouette in of The City’s economy in “reality check” (*not wishful thinking of so-called “rebound”). [Sabes que? “Tanto tienes tanto vales.” The Mid-market is literally dying{Emporium/San Francisco Centre is dead. Period.} so is South Market while Chinatown, Union Square/Downtown, North Beach and many other neighborhood commercial strips such as Richmond (Balboa, Clement, Geary) Mission (16th to 30th), Castro, Haight-Ashbury, Sunset (Irving, Judah {9th & 43rd}, Noriega, Taraval), Bernal/Excelsior (Cortland, Persia, Geneva), Noe Valley, Glen Park, Ocean, Parkside, San Bruno, Paul, West Portal, etc. are merely struggling except Japantown and Stonestown are arguably just returning to normal.] ⚠️Under the circumstances, fasten up your seatbelt & save your💰for rainy day! 👍“

“We had dinner on Saturday night, restaurant was not crowded however we understand that the staff was dealing with take out orders. Service was very slow for our order which seemed pretty straightforward: a soup and padthai. Other guests were served more quickly; people at the next table ordered just before we did, got their food, ate and left beforewe got our food?!? On another note, we were not able to dine on the terrasse since it was a bit chilly and there is only one heater that is broken. Buying more heaters should be made a priority. This said, the food was delicious and tasted very fresh. We all loved it. So highly recommend for the food and maybe ordering as take out, only!“

“I come here for their lunch specials ($17.95). I get their J. BBQ Chicken which I think is their most worth item (it’s so thiccc and tender) and either E. Red Curry or F. Green Curry. Came here to celebrate my Cousin’s Bday, so we also ordered a shrimp pad Thai. Good Food & Good Vibes 💛🖤

Always a very welcoming. They do get pretty packed at noons so I recommend coming a little bit earlier to beat the rush.

Check em out, byeee.“

“Quiet night for dinner. Ample portions. Asked for medium spice and was pleased that the flavor and spice were perfect. Also got a young coconut which was fun. Fried banana with pistachio ice cream for dessert. Leftovers were packed up beautifully and tasted great the next day for lunch. Sweet servers. Recommend!“

“The food is great and friendly service! It’s my go to place whenever I’m in Sausalito..“

“I have been twice so far and both time the food was - delicious! Everything we ordered was good especially the chicken satay, fresh rolls, pad Thai, green curry and mango sticky rice. The people who work there went above and beyond. We called about coming in close to closing with the family, they insisted we come in and that they were genuinely happy to have us. We felt so welcome both times. Will keep coming back!“

“This is a relatively new restaurant in this area, but after ordering this rice and pork leg stew to try as my lunch, it is taste very much like those dishes I ordered in Bangkok, Thailand. The combination of it spicy homemade sauce that the owner told me she made it herself. She also indicates that she prepare most of the food herself with some help from her Thai staffs she hired from Thailand. The owner is native Thai and it seems she took pride in her cooking and restaurant. Give it a try and you will know what I mean. I also had the tradition coconut pudding dessert and it is quite delicious. I am not from San Francisco but passing by on my business trip and has cravings for Thai food. A solid 8.5 out of 10 for sure. Friendly staff and owner thet will come to chat with you.

Enjoy...“

“A vibrant Thai street‑food style restaurant with bold, authentic flavors that make every meal feel like a trip to Bangkok. Guests enjoy classics like savory pad Thai, rich green curry, crispy chicken over fried rice, and northern Thai khao soi with just the right balance of spice and texture. Portions are generous and well seasoned, and the casual interior has cozy, colorful decor with a relaxed, friendly vibe that suits both casual dinners and fun outings
Management and staff are generally described as friendly and attentive, even during busy service times, making sure guests are seated efficiently and that table needs are met throughout the meal.“

“Great place with very delicious food.“

“Only my 2nd time picking up food for lunch while working . Love their spicy catfish eggplant curry with Thai brown rice. Downside , Portions of catfish was skimpy & sliced very thin . Need thicker & more slices. My 2nd was the drunken noodles w/ prawns , delicious slightly spicy flavor. Veggies were a bit undercook crunchy but prawns were excellent j& perfectly cooked . Noodle dish a bit greasy but that comes with this type of wide rice noodle when pan fried . Would easily reorder these 2 again but want to try an array of dishes in their menu . 2 thumbs up , recommend .“

“I’ve been coming to Basil Canteen for more than ten years, and I just realized I’ve never actually written a review… which feels almost wrong given how often I’m here.

This place is just solid in the best possible way. The food is consistently good — every time. The service is always friendly and on point without being overbearing. And somehow, no matter how busy things get, it still feels easy and comfortable to eat here.

I live just one block away, so Basil Canteen has become one of those places I don’t even think twice about. Quick dinner? Basil. Meeting a friend? Basil. Don’t feel like cooking and want something I know will be good? Basil. It’s dependable in a way that’s honestly rare.

Restaurants like this don’t stick around for years unless they’re doing a lot of things right, and Basil Canteen clearly is. Great people, great food, great energy — and the kind of neighborhood spot you’re genuinely grateful to have nearby.

Very overdue five stars from me.“

“Great Thai food !!!! Customer service was also great.“

“Very nice space and lovely people running the restaurant. Take out experience is efficient. Dining room is comfortable, although somewhat chilly the last time we were there. Eggplant and lamb curries were outstanding. Most other dishes OK to good. Egg rolls not very good. Very reasonable prices.“

“I ordered 30 lunch boxes for a training I had at work. Very pleased with the food - everything was very tasty and it was still warm when it arrived. I overheard a coworker say that it was a really nice change from the usual boring sandwiches. Would order from them again.“

“Wonderful service!! Great food, we enjoyed every bit of our meals. highly recommend this place.“
