33 Best Thai Restaurants near Palo Alto

“A delicious hidden gem! The staff is super nice and hardworking and the food is truly wonderful. The red curry is exceptional; I’ve traveled around SE Asia and the red curry here can go toe to toe with any I’ve had. I highly recommend Indochine!“

“Love Lotus Thai Bistro! The pad see ew is my favorite, but also love other classics like Pad Thai and the Pineapple Fried Rice. I’ve ordered in, taken out, and worked with their team for catering for work events as well. A wonderful business and restaurant!“

“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!“

“The food is always great!“

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

“food and service is superb! number 1“

“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!!“

“If you are looking for truly authentic Thai flavors, this place is an absolute must-visit! They capture the essence of regional dishes perfectly, especially if you love the bold, fiery kick of Southern Thai food.
​A few personal favorites that I highly recommend:
​Moo Hong: The pork belly is incredibly tender, rich, and perfectly sweet and savory.
​Gai Tod Hat Yai: Super crispy, deeply flavorful Southern-style fried chicken that is absolutely addictive.
​Khua Kling: A must-order if you appreciate the intense, aromatic spice of a traditional Southern dry curry.
​My friends also joined me and completely fell in love with their Pad Gra Pow, which has the perfect amount of basil and spice, and their Larb Spring Rolls—such a clever and delicious twist on classic flavors.
​Whether you're craving comforting classics or punchy regional specialties, this spot completely delivers. 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“

“The staff was very welcoming to our large group & even took photos of our group for us. The food was amazing with lots of choices for everyone.“

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

“Extra clean and modern setting. Order at the counter or on the screens. Surprising mix of cuisines - I had a matcha strawberry latte with an avocado toast and a Pad Thai. Their burgers and curries looked interesting too. It's original, well-thought and properly managed. The food, however, is not remarkable in any way. It's well presented and fresh but below expectations for the prices they charge.“

“cozy atmosphere good service and friendly restaurant owner“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Khao Kang Thai Kitchen is a fantastic spot for delicious and flavorful Thai food! Everything was fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of authentic flavors. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was pleasant and relaxing. Definitely a great place for Thai cuisine—I’d happily come back again! 🍜🇹🇭❤️“

“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.“

“Good ambience. Food is tasty. We ordered pad kee mew but the soya sauce was strong the owner ( who is a chef as well,) personal came to understand the problem and talked to us nicely about his commitment for good taste. Appreciate the genuine efforts.

Unlike other Thai restaurant, a veggie dish come with tofu as your choice of protein but here it's either vegetable or tofu. If you want a mix then it's a extra. I think this should be changed.“

“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.“
