10 Best Thai Restaurants near Monterey

“The food is over-the-top good! Because there is a lunch buffet- I never have to worry about being late going back to work- and I like the affordability :)“

“We loved the food here, though it took a bit for it to get to the table (more than we're used to with thai places near home). Everything we had was great, pad khee mao (med spicy), massuman (beef was so tender), the clear broth soup, and then mango sticky rice.“

“The best fresh food around. I really don’t go out to any other restaurant anymore because of what I have here. I know the quality of the food the way I will be treated and the cleanliness of this restaurant. In 4 years I never had a bad meal or something that is wrong. They have always been upfront about their menu and service. Even if they are busy they tell me and I don’t care about waiting I know it will be worth the wait. Thank you Krua Thai Gregg“

“Although located in an unassuming little yellow cottage off the main road, Siam Marina Thai Cuisine tries its best to make its presence known. Its magenta trim and string lights guide you in. As you enter, the cozy building is cleaved in twain, leaving a tiny yet comfortable and inviting dining room on one side and a cloistered kitchen on the other. You find yourself blanketed within bright pink walls and cheerfully colorful decor. The kitchen is close enough to where you can hear the bubbling of fryer oil and vigorous conversations in Thai -- I can imagine it's quite fun when the place is full (I came for lunch and it was completely empty).
I wanted to try something really spicy as I like to test my limits (and the restaurant's), but the mango curry caught my eye, so instead I decided to see how a fruit would fit in to the meal.
The fried fish cakes I ordered as well were quite good, but I was mostly impressed with everything around them. The sauce they came with was delightful and filled with fresh vegetables, and they were topped with freshly fried basil that was maybe just a tad undercrisped. The fish cakes had a bit of a leathery exterior, but were juicy and not soaked in oil as I had feared might be the case.
As I first began trying the curry, I was a little disappointed. The mango, I thought, felt out of place in both taste and texture, and the curry itself did not have an identifiable mango flavor beyond that. But it quickly grew on me, and again I found that everything tasted very fresh: the vegetables were just crunchy enough and the curry sauce was bold yet sweet. I ended up eating every last bit of mango.
Thai cuisine is not one that I am well acquainted with but it is one I'd like to try more often, and Siam Marina was a decided boost of confidence. I commend their practice and wish them well.“
