36 Best Thai Restaurants near Palo Alto

“Had the fortunate opportunity to eat at this restaurant yesterday. The food was SOOO good! Best Shrimp Pad Thai that I have ever had. It is a small and unassuming place, but don't underestimate this little gem. It's at the top of my list of favorites now. Also, the service was excellent.“

“Was on a walk and came across this little Thai restaurant, and so happy I did. The staff were friendly & inviting. I ordered the fried chicken entree & pad Thai with chicken - both were amazing! I got it to go, and spent 30mins walking back home and it was still hot and fresh by the time I ate it. Large portion sizes, enough for 2 meals at least. 10/10 and will be back!“

“This place is excellent! All food is made fresh so all customizations are possible. We are vegetarian and they were able to accommodate with no fish sauce in curries and pad Thai. I highly recommend the eggplant dish. Service was great, the waitress is kind and hasn't messed up an order a single time we have visited.

Vegetarian options: They have lots of options for vegetarians. Normally Thai food has fish sauce in curries, but they are able to remove it because they make everything fresh“

“The food is always great!“

“Nice place to get some healthy food. This place serves, mostly Asian style, rice bowls, salads, noodles or stir frys.
Tofu / cauliflower make for good vegetarian or vegan option.

The cauliflower seemed freshly roasted as well. It's a bit in the expensive side for the quantity and given it's a counter service restaurant.
But worth trying

Vegetarian options: Most of the dishes can be made Tofu or cauliflower as protein option“

“Pad see ew was Delicious . Pad Thai was great, egg rolls was perfect Definitely will order again“

“food and service is superb! number 1“

“Excellent, creative dishes! Good service!! 10 stars!!!“

“This was my first time to try this restaurant I am from San Jose I ordered the sweet basil chicken. It was very delicious the price was reasonable. The cashier was friendly and recommended the dish to me I was not disappointed with the sweet basil.The interior of the restaurant is clean and there is parking outside the restaurant.“

“Highly recommend this Thai spot. The woman Siri, is so sweet and will make you feel right at home! The food, compared to other local thai places give it a run for the money. The pineapple fried rice, Tom kha and the pad see ew are all on point. The restaurant is a bit smaller than other restaurants, so please call ahead of time if you decide to bring a big party so they can try to accommodate. I believe all their dishes have a happy blend of spice and flavor, depending on what you order. If you order something and it may be too spicy, you can ask for the spice instead on the side and add to your liking.“

“Today we’re at this place and ordered Tom Yum Soup. I can say that it was different service. Tasty food, great preparation, and polite service all along with a good price. Waitress was so nice. They have got amazing interior with some incredible art and decor. Parking is a bit challenging but you can finding street parking so easily.I'm coming back when i will be in Redwood for sure!

Parking: If you don’t mind to walk you can find street parking.“

I can’t wait for whatever I try next. When you have a few things you have never had before and every one is amazing it makes me want to try everything else you make. So fresh. Amazing flavours. Incredible tastes. Sensational! Congratulations!!“

“Best Thai place i have been too! Great food and even better owners!!“

“Best Thai food since leaving Thailand! We used to live in Sunnyvale and Air and Young were running the place. We became fast friends and we really miss them! Their kids have done a great job with the place and we highly recommend Thai Spoons!!“

“I think they updated their menu which is great. There are lots of vegan option or menu you can turned into vegan.“

“Love their pad thai here. They always remember my order since I've been here many dozens of times. I always get level 5 spicy.“

“We visited Siamese kitchen yesterday for dinner. Spring rolls were good not oily. Pad kee maw was spicy and flavourful. Coconut ice cream was good too. The dishes were a little pricey but may be because of inflation.Overall service was quick and good,tasty food and nice ambience.“

“I've been going to Shana Thai for more than a decade , and maybe I haven't done a review yet because I stay close by and take their quality and consistency for granted. But they deserve this shout out. While many restaurants that used to be great have become more tepid as they grew. Shana Thai has generally maintained their quality, freshness, and taste and have remained consistent (with maybe only 1-2 sub par results in the past decade - which is good). And this is probably my greatest praise. I've never had an issue with their service, it's everything I'd expect from a restaurant, but in honesty nothing stands out in this regard either. It's neither bad nor great. It's good.

The atmosphere from the few times I've visited, isn't stand out either. The interior is clean, well presented, and depending on when you visit it's either very loud or has the usual restaurant murmur -- this isn't predictable.

It's a solid choice for Thai food for me, and their fish cakes (and their seafood in general) are a personal favorite. Their other veg and meat dishes are great as well.“

“Finally found a taste of home in San Francisco! This place serves up the absolute best Thai Southern cuisine I've had in the bay area. Their Krua kling and Kang tai pla are must-tries. Every bite is an authentic flavor that transports you straight to the streets of Thailand. If you're craving genuine Thai Southern food, look no further! Highly recommend ?“

“This restaurant catered the recent fund raiser for the Cupertino Historical society and the food WAS TO DIE FOR! The best food I’ve ever had at such an event. Standouts were the pineapple rice, the vegetable pastries the chicken satay the pad Thai and cooked chicken on a skewer the desserts were great too - little candied strawberries and tiny slices of an amazing cake. We are staff and we were just swooning over the tastes of everything. I want to take my mom to the restaurant now“

“Very good food great people. We have been coming here for a long time. The owner is awesome.“

“Best Thai ever and we've done a fair bit of Thai in our time.“

“Very nice atmosphere and food!“

“The food is very testy and the service is very nice.“

“I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to eat spicy and savory Asian food. The somtam was unexpectedly spicy, but it was really delicious. It had a medium level of spiciness, but it was spicier than Shin Ramyun and less spicy than Buldak Bokgeum Ramyun, but by the end of the meal, the spiciness was completely gone, so it was good to whet the appetite and end the meal. I would like to visit again“

“cozy atmosphere good service and friendly restaurant owner“

“I like this restaurant. Food is great. Price is not expensive compared to other restaurants in Bay Area. The only thing I do not like is their tip is calculated based on after-tax amount. I will still come in the future though. I also ordered Tom yum, great portion and taste! Three dishes for two is slightly too much but I was hoping to try different food.“

“แนะนำอาหารอร่อยสะอาดจานใหญ่“

“Lunch time on a hot day. No a-c. Door open. But not even a ceiling fan. Aside from the temp, the inside was very nice. Beer could have been colder, but was o.k. Lunch specials fairly priced. Came with egg roll, soup, small salad and entree. Egg roll was pretty mushy on the inside. Entree was good and they delivered the spice level I requested, was nice and spicy. Only saw one bit of basil though. Not enough for a dish that has basil in the name. Super great service...a very nice lady. I will be back when it is a cooler day.“

“Papaya Thai is a Bay Area treasure. My wife and I stumbled upon it while looking for a good place to have lunch after running an errand in Newark. We had Lamb Yellow Curry Stew and Pad Thai with Shrimp. The lamb was perfectly cooked in a rich yellow curry with potatoes and carrots. The meat was as tender as you can possibly imagine. The Pad Thai was mixed with a sweet sauce that was slightly sticky, which I like so the noodles adhere to each other. I don’t know if this is traditional, but really like Pad Thai like that.“

“Awesome Thai food Friendly service great.“

“The food was delicious and the latte was amazing!
I would love to see more vegan options - maybe a burger, avocado toast, and pastry (or two). If there was a bit more variety in vegan options, I think I'd be coming here all the time.

Dietary restrictions: There are some vegan and vegetarian options

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a wheelchair ramp and button at an accessible height to open the door“

“Loved the vegetarian options and there are a good number of them. The spicy veggie fried rice and chuchee tofu curry were both amazing. They were very flavorful and had good amounts of tofu and veggies (and babycorn). Medium spice was good for me. I also tried the crispy corn, it tasted good but wasn't very crispy probably because of takeout.“

“We walked in for a quick munch. Surprisingly we were the only ones there at 2pm. Service is great!“
