About Roost & Roast

Roost & Roast is a restaurant that specializes in a variety of delicious chicken dishes. The fried chickens are praised for their crispy exterior and juicy interior, while the popcorn chickens remain a popular choice. The menu includes Thai-style chicken, such as the Hat Yai chicken, which is known for its incredible crispiness and crunchiness. Customers can also enjoy a selection of Thai sauces for dipping. The food is described as healthy, featuring fresh vegetables and less greasy meat, providing a healthy twist to the dishes. Many customers have enjoyed vegetarian options, like the vegetarian pad thai, which can be made vegan by removing the egg. This dish is flavorful, with a good mix of tofu, noodles, and veggies, and has a decently large portion size, good for two small meals. While the food is generally praised for its flavor, the customer service has been reported as subpar in some instances. The ordering process is done through a kiosk, and customers may experience longer wait times for their food, especially during busy periods. The restaurant can get quite busy, especially with local students after school. Overall, Roost & Roast is a good option for those in the mood for flavorful chicken dishes, including the notable pad thai, which is saucy and authentic. However, some may find that the flavors are not as spicy as traditional Thai food, and additional condiments may come at an extra cost. Despite potential service and efficiency challenges, the restaurant offers decent portions for the price, making it a favorite spot in Palo Alto.

I had the shrimp Pad Thai and it was excellent! Shrimp was fresh tasting. But the tofu was the star! It was so tasty and well coated with their sauce. And it was totally mild and can be ordered with no chillis. I will definitely order again!
Came here for the first time, and it was absolutely incredible! I love that they’re open late and offer such a wide variety of menu options. I highly recommend the Chicken Pad Thai and the Crispy Chicken Rice Bowl, both were so good!! The Thai tea was also delicious, with just the right amount of sweetness. What really stood out, though, was the gentleman at the front this evening. He was incredibly kind, welcoming, and had such great energy, which made the experience even...read full review
One of my favorite “fast” options. Tasty and they have generous meat portions.
