44 Best Thai Restaurants near Pinole

“We had a wonderful lunch here. The crab fried rice and egg noodles with duck were delicious! The average dish is $12-15. Located in a strip mall, the parking lot is shared with 5 other small businesses. It is a bit of a wait, but this is because everything is made fresh!Wheelchair accessibility: You will need assistance with doors but can wheel into the restaurant fine.“

“Friendly staff and lovely seating interior. Food was delicious with good wok fire. The sizzling seafood plate was flavorful and went well with jasmine rice. The red duck curry was delicious with sticky rice. Coconut pad Thai was very satisfying and great portion. I saw lots of take out orders getting delivered every several minutes at dinner time. Glad to find out about this restaurant as it stays open till 10 pm. Easy parking in its own lot. I will come back to try other dishes.“

“We came here for dinner and had a great meal! We ordered the Thai iced tea to drink, the Lao sausages as an appetizer, and the pad see ew with beef, phao larb, and yellow curry with chicken as mains. Everything was good, and the service was excellent! The spice levels here are no joke, so definitely stay below levels 2-3. The owner is super nice, and she even explained the differences between Laotian and Thai cuisine to us!“

“Cozy, mom&pop style Thai restaurant in downtown Vallejo. Went there for lunch with a couple of friends, its decorated nicely inside, and you can seat yourself if its not busy. Our waiter was friendly and slightly confused by one of my friends commenting on how much he liked the spiderman decoration in the men's restroom; if they had followed the same theme in the women's. He laughed and said no....they thought about Barbie or Hello Kitty...but decided to stay neutral. Getting to our food....I loved what I ordered which was the Thai basil chicken...the sauce was so flavorful, couldve used just a little more steamed rice to mop it up, but tasty none the less. Overall good experience.... Ciao for now“

“Our neighborhood finally has a new gem of a restaurant! Everything about this spot is wonderful. The attention to detail in the decor (cozy fireplace, exposed brick, distressed woodwork, leaf-shaped cushions, gold silverware, plants galore) is transportive. The food is ravishingly fresh and thoughtfully prepared. On two different visits, we shared Market Salads, Chia Bowls, Yogurt Bowls, and Lava Eggs. Tanzie, the owner, is delightful, and you can tell she has a hand in every dish. My 8-year-old, who is a very picky eater, loved the yogurt bowl, eggs, and especially the Thai Beignets! Finally, a brunch I can look forward to, a few steps from my house...“

“Very delicious! Authentic taste! Took me back to Thailand in an instant! We ordered spicy pork liver salad, spicy beef salad, fried fish cakes, Esan sausages, dried tomyum noodles, pork skewers, sticky rice. Spicy pork liver salad was so tasty. Soft, creamy and super rich! Highly recommended to anyone who wants to try authentic and hard to find Thai cuisine. Paired super well with sticky rice. 10 out of 10! Spicy beef salad was also great but shine less bright than the spicy pork liver salad. 9 out of 10! Dried tomyum noodles, was very good as well. Not as authentic, but very hard to find evnen in the Bay Area. 8.5 out of 10. Fried fish cakes, esan sausages, were ok. The pork skewers weren't so impressive. Too big, too Americanized for its own good. Staffs were friendly, and the restaurant is cozy with retro 1960ish theme decor. *We ordered so many dishes but it was so good that I forgot to take pictures.“

“So happy we got to be one of the first customers to ever eat at this new Thai restaurant. The place inside is pretty small, but the decor is cute & simple. They make the most of the room by putting as many small tables that fit with seating mostly for tables of two or four. We were literally the second table to ever eat in this new spot. And wow, am I glad I decided to search Yelp today for lunch. The service was super sweet, friendly, and perfect. We had a hard time deciding on what to try first (because everything sounded good and the smells from the kitchen were amazing). What we ordered: - Tom Kha Soup with Chicken Excellently flavors and just enough spice for me. My spouse loves really spicy dishes and said it would be delicious with more spiciness, but thought the broth was so good that it didn’t even need to change. We actually just wish there was an option to order a larger size, it was that good! Sometimes my spouse like to just have soup as the entree. - Green Curry with Chicken (comes with rice) Wow! Super bright and fresh taste! Smells really good and tastes even better. It was very fresh and loved all the vegetables inside (eggplant soaked up all the delicious flavor just right, baby corn- yum, etc.). - Pad Cashew Nut with Pork (comes with rice) AMAZING. Mouth-wateringly delicious. I did not want the dish to end. It was the perfect amount of flavor and freshness. Loved the cashews, the carrots, the onions, the cilantro on top. Perfect combination of sweet & salty sauce with nuttiness from the cashews, enhanced by the onion, carrot, cilantro. Since it was their first day, we enjoyed free beverages. The Thai tea was so good- you can get oat milk for $1 more. The Black Mango Iced Tea was also delicious and you get refills on it. I cannot wait to go back and eat every dish. Since it was their first hour open, we were there when the Doordash photographer came to snap pictures of all the dishes. WOW! We were eyeing the Lobster Ravioli and honestly it looks too good to miss. So we’ll probably be back later this week to try it and more. Congratulations on your opening. Thank you for bringing delicious Thai food to the area. We just moved up here from San Diego, and we’ve been having a hard time finding true Thai food and flavors. Many of the Thai places we’ve eaten up up here lack flavor or are just different because they’re fused with Laotian dishes or another type of cuisine. Finely we found a great Thai places we can walk to from the University Village apartments. See you soon!“

“Stepped off of the ferry with a voracious lust for Thai food, seeing that it is Easter Sunday, chances of finding a restaurant open around the area were very slim, until I discovered this quaint little spot to be the only place open. Everything from the dining room to the windows were absolutely clean, the server was a delight to speak with, he recommended a very appetizing dish of beef larb salad, amazingly spicy and bursting with flavor. Thank you very much for a pleasant dining experience!! I will definitely be returning to Simple Thai upon my next trip to the Bay ??“

“Love this family owned restaurant! I've been coming here for years, and they never disappoint. They are consistent and tasty. Every single dish. I fully support this restaurant. I use to live close and went at least one a week now I'm 45 minutes out & wishing they had one closer to me cause I have to drive a good 45 minutes to get here but I gladly do it when I can. Prices have gone up, but that is to be expected. They are still delicious, so it's totally worth it ?“

“Best hidden Thai restaurant that I just found out about this year! I celebrated my birthday here earlier in the spring and I was able to reserve a table for 6 with no problem. I was specifically looking for a restaurant that had a lot of vegetarian options for my vegetarian friends and was amazed to find they had so many on their menu. Overall, my experience at this restaurant is superb. The customer service was excellent, friendly servers, and dishes passed out in a timely fashion. Food was excellent. My party ordered a variety of dishes from soups, to salads, to noodle and meat dishes. The portion of the food were huge, quality was definitely delicious! All my friends enjoyed their dishes and had leftovers. I also like the intimacy of this restaurant. It's on the smaller side, though they still had plenty of tables. Though there were a good number of people also having dinner, the noise level of the restaurant was not too loud. It was perfect for my group because we could have conversations and hear each other very well without competing with loud noises or other people's conversations. After my excellent dine in experience, I ordered pickup from the restaurant twice and had a good experience as well.“

“Super yummy food, looking for a new Thai place and this is going to be it. Crab fried rice delicious, chicken pad Thai was authentic, fresh spring rolls was super fresh, and the papaya salad had great textures. Friendly staff, an all round great experience. Will definitely be frequenting this place often“

“The service is great, they are fast and friendly and I think family owned business, they work hard and you are full when you walk out the door with leftovers lol. the food has a lot of flavor and the seating is nice not too close to each other if they are not in your party. We love the food there and that's where we go when my husband and I want Thai food. Peanut sauce is BOMB!!!!“

“We had diner at Thai Lao restaurant this evening with some friends and got a wonderful experience. The restaurant is very cosy and well managed, the food is delicious healthy and the plates well served. People are efficient, dedicated and polite. Special thanks to the boss, a wonderful women, Merci beaucoup et q bientôt!“

“I ordered a chicken pad kea mao (drunken noodles) and it was really good although… they gave me pork instead of chicken. And I didn’t know about that until they came over to the table with the plate that had chicken. Thankfully I am able to eat pork but… be careful if you are not— ask twice to make sure you get the right dish. Otherwise, they were very accommodating to our very large group.“

“Generous portions of food, packed with flavor!We got these dishes with spring rolls and shared it all1. Sweet chicken on rice - crispy sweet & spicy chicken came with rice, loved it2. Pad Thai3. Duck noodle soupDelicious and packaged very well.“

“Yes! Yes! Yes!Mouthwatering flavors and beautifully sweetened Thai tea. Every dish I ordered was made to perfection and the flavors were orgasmically on point.I am absolutely coming back to try more dishes.Charming little location with a unique exterior esthetic and they have a private parking lot. Worth a visit!“

“Their noodle selections were really great! The only one I wouldn't recommend is the pad see ew, just because it's so comparable to anywhere else. It's a bit narrow and crowded inside, definitely a wait time. We ended up sitting at the only table outside but it was a bit chilly and ended up taking it to go. They were very nice though!“

“I walked into a nice restaurant decorated in with Thai art, classy cocktail music, and a smiling white with a ponytail. He asked me what I wanted for a drink, so I asked for my favorite drink, Thai ice coffee. The delicious iced coffee came very quickly in a canning jar with handles. My order of three lunch specials was cooked and served very quickly. For most people, ordering one lunch special is enough, but I wanted to try their food in a big way. Only then can you experience the chef's cuisine. Also, I'm babysitting a cat here in Orinda for nine days, so I haven't wanted to cook if i can order enough to eat delicious leftovers. What a pleasant surprise, the food, atmosphere, and the three dishes, were quite fresh and delicious. The Pad Thai, which I ordered with chicken, was very nice, I had delicately seasoned noodles, shredded carrots, shredded cabbage, green onions,fried tofu, fried eggs, bean sprouts, and finely chopped peanuts. For an extra $2, you can get the egg roll and salad, but I already had those with the two other lunch specials. The #6 Peanut Prawns, which were deep fried in a light batter, came with peanut curry sauce over a bed of spinach in a bowl, served with slices of orange, a crunchy Noodle salad, rice and a fried vegetarian Thai egg roll. Delicious! The prawns were a decent size, and quite tasty. My last dish was #12, Garlic Pepper Calamari, with onions, zucchini, mushrooms, green onions, fried noodles, were served with the sliced oranges, plus a noodles salad with carrots, cucumber, red cabbage, and shredded iceberg lettuce, deep fried noodles, were crunchy and fresh with a light dressing. Overall, the food was quite superb, my mom lived in Bangkok for fourteen years, so I know how to appreciate Thai food. I will definitely come here again if I'm visiting the area again.“

“We enjoyed a great lunch. Very fresh food. I enjoyed the daily special which was avocado seafood dish. My colleagues enjoyed lunch specials. Everything here is fresh, service is quick and prices reasonable. This was not my first time here and won't be my last time.Vegetarian options: Many optionsParking: Street parking is available.“

“The lunch special was great. It came with your choice of appetizer, main dish and a soda drink, and for $2 more you can upgrade to the Thai tea. The food was good, especially the curry, I ordered it vegetarian style, and they added plenty of vegetables. The cozy ambiance made it perfect for a quick lunch, and I particularly admired the beautifully decorated bathroom - a unique touch! I'd suggest bringing some of that charm into the dining area. The 20% discount was a pleasant surprise, and the staff were exceptionally polite and efficient. While I prefer my Thai teas a bit sweeter, I still found this place to be a fantastic dining spot overall!“

“This place is the best! If I could give it more than 5 starts I would. First time coming here and the person who took down my order was very sweet and answered all my questions and concerns. The environment is friendly, quiet, everyone is focused on their own thing and the music they play is soft and perfect! This place has Vegan, Organic and Gluten-Free Options. I would 10/10 recommend. I“

“Nice, located of Willow shopping center. Several eateries nearby including a drive in Starbucks. I looked around and decided to go for the Won Thai restaurant, ordered the lunch special, fried catfish with rice, on the plate I got a colorful plate with a scoop of steam rice next to pan fried filet of catfish with plenty of green beans, fresh tomato pieces, sautéed on a lite curry sauce and sliced purple and green cabbage garnish.“

“Do not sleep on this place. I have been to a lot of brunch spots and THIS PLACE WAS DELICIOUS. Since it's a Wednesday and we came right when it opened it was just us, so obviously fast and good service. We ordered the Crispy Thai Tea French Toast and they had a lunch combo menu where you could choose an appetizer, entree, and drink for $19.99. I opted for this option and the Pad Kee Mao and Spring Rolls were soo good. Other reviews have mentioned the Thai Tea French Toast was too sweet, but it didn't bother us, we thought the sweetness was fine! I will definitely come back again for brunch“

“We had the pleasure of working with Tumi & Thai Rice Spoon as the food caterer for our wedding in August and they exceeded our expectations in every way possible.Tumi was so flexible and was willing to accommodate our specific requests. She worked closely with us to create a customized menu that perfectly reflected our preferences and the overall theme of our wedding. The staff was attentive and professional, ensuring that the dining experience was seamless for both us and our guests.On the day of our event, the food was displayed beautifully and the quality was excellent. Our guests are still raving about it. The staff was so kind enough to make us our own plates and kept us fed throughout the evening.We would highly recommend Tumi & Thai Rice Spoon to any couple looking for a caterer that goes above and beyond to create a memorable dining experience. We are forever grateful!!“

“The food served to me was originally bprderline flavorless, so I had to send it back, which I seldom do. Thankfully, they added more sauce and sent it back out, but it's honestly a little worrying that they looked at my pale pad see ew and thought it was ok to serve. The chicken was also overcooked. :(I tried my friend's chili lemongrass fish and that was really good, so maybe just stray away from the bland pad see ew.On the other hand, while expensive, the drinks were really good. The lychee mojito was my favorite, but I have a lychee bias!Parking: There's parking right out front along University“

“Ample veggie options. Quick service, good food. We didn't have to wait for seating. Ordered and got the food within ten minutes. The servers were nice and friendly, they were able to suggest alternatives for dietary restrictions. I'd like to go again and try some other items on the menu.Vegetarian options: You can ask the server and they will suggest alternatives for your dietary restrictions, including veggie options.“

“Bangkok Thai Cuisine: A Delicious Trip to ThailandI recently had a fantastic meal at Bangkok Thai Cuisine, and it was a delightful trip to Thailand without leaving town! The Pad Thai was a real standout. It wasn't just delicious, it was perfectly balanced. The sweet, savory, and just a hint of spice all played together beautifully. Every bite was a flavor party in my mouth!The veggie rolls were another winner. They were incredibly fresh and packed with flavor. The crispy lettuce gave way to a delightful filling making for a satisfying and light starter.Overall, Bangkok Thai Cuisine impressed me. The food was fresh, flavorful, and authentic-tasting. While I can't speak to the entire menu, both the Pad Thai and veggie rolls were fantastic. If you're looking for a delicious and affordable Thai dining experience, I highly recommend giving them a try!“

“To go only, but so good for a student meal! I am thankful for this place. Really appreciate the kindness of the owners. She does not speak English well but the warmth in her presence and the food speaks for itself. Recommend getting the Pad Thai!!“

“On my way home from church, I searched Yelp for Thai restaurants in the area. Yelp gps took me to this place and I'm glad to have found it. I was pleasantly surprised they offer lunch special on weekends - it was the best choice for me as I was dining alone. I got the lunch special plate of grilled chicken with peanut sauce over brown rice, veggies and salad. Such a generous delicious serving. I would have preferred the peanut sauce served on the side but I failed to ask. The tangy & sweet salad compliments the chicken with peanut sauce very well. Their Thai iced tea wasn't too sweet which is perfect. I got the fried banana with coconut ice cream for dessert. Bananas rolled in brown sugar served with a bit of honey. So crunchy! Perfect dessert for me as I love fried bananas! Ice cream was so creamy. Take note coconut ice cream doesn't have a strong taste, it's a bit bland if you're used to American ice cream. Serving is good for 2 or 3 people. The place is divided into two sections. It's nice and clean inside. Service is prompt and friendly. Very warm Asian ladies providing service with a smile. I'll be back!“

“My favorite Thai restaurant. The wait staff are really nice and accommodating, and the restaurant is pretty and relaxing. My chicken fried rice was delicious, with some lettuce and cucumbers on the plate for additional veges, and my friend loved his Pad Thai. Highly recommended.“

“This was a chance find, but they impressed us, and i cannot say enough good things about the food. We stopped here while trying to find another place, it looked like a good hole in the wall. What drew us here was it was full, even early in the evening - took it as a good sign. The service was prompt, and the food was yummy. The place is small and you can hear almost all the tables, but i was lost in the food anyways :)“

“This is my go to place in the neighborhood for good Thai food - it's fast, affordable, and delicious! The staff are super sweet and make sure you get exactly what you want. We've eaten here countless times, both in person and carry out - pictured is pad Thai and suki yaki soup, but our other favorites include Panang curry, avocado salad, Tom kha soup, and chicken satay. They also have great Thai tea that's not overly sweet. I'm honestly surprised by the negative reviews. I think some folks might not like it because it's not super Americanized versions of dishes and the interior is not the most glamorous. Don't let that dissuade you, this place and it's owners are great!!“

“Best restaurant experience I've had in a long time. Cute, small place with big charm!! Food: excellent! There were 8 of us and we all ordered different things. We loved everything! Service: excellent! From the time we walked in the door, we were treated like family. We will be back!!“

“Enjoyed a fantastic meal for the price! ? Opted for the red curry special on the lunch menu—unique presentation over a bed of rice. Personally, I'd prefer the curry separate from the rice because serving it on top of the rice makes it so that the rice absorbs the sauce. Pad see ew was tasty, but a bit more noodle would've been perfect. When the check came, the waitress gave me a beautifully presented dessert ? which was tasty.Two dishes for less than $20! It was a great deal and a delicious lunch.Loved the second-story setting with a street view. It was chilly inside on a cold day, but overall, a satisfying experience.“

“This place has closed, marking the end of an era for me. I used to frequent the SF location in Union Square, which closed in 2015. I was delighted to discover the Berkeley location. Their prices were reasonable, and the combination beef noodle soup was delicious. The pad kee mao was exceptionally tasty and fragrant, and they would make it extra spicy for me. The last time I was there, the server informed me that they were closing on 3/21/24. I am now on the lookout for a new Thai restaurant that serves this style of Thai cuisine. The store seemed a bit empty over the last year or two, but it's still saddening to see them close.“

“a Favorite place to go. Food is Delicious, and the personnel are always very friendly. I recommend the Spicy Stir-fry Cashew Seafood. Another satisfied lunch, I would eat at this time everyday if i could., i brobably could, its very affortable.“

“First time diners. Loved the food, ambience and attitude. Was take-out but we wished we could have dined in. Such a sweet environment! We had the chicken pad Thai, pumpkin curry with pork and corn fritters. The fritters got soggy by the time we got them home but we fixed them in the toaster oven. We WILL be back!“

“Honestly I haven't had enough dishes to give stars, just yellow curry and larb (good) and egg rolls (okay). But yes they are back, currently only for online/pickup. I'm not sure they're equipped for walking up and ordering to go; no menus or payment system in sight. It's true that the bags don't come with napkins or utensils.Also had the lunch pad grapaw with vegetables, good and decently spicy.“

“The menu is relatively limited. I don't eat pork so that cut out a large number of things (usually not a problem for me in Thai restaurants). Pad Thai was great but my fave was the crispy rice salad. The ladies who run the place and serve are THE BOMB. They'll do whatever they can to make you smile and I loved them!!! Definitely recommend giving it a try.“

“YUMMY! The food was really tasty. Between Korean and Japanese bento. The service was friendly and helpful. THE restaurant is very small. Not many tables. Small and simple menu which I like. Didn't like the to go boxes since we were dine in but not the end of the world. Will definitely go back to try other items.“

“Last night our family of five had dinner at Sweet Basil Thai in Berkeley. The restaurant is small and intimate and the food was absolutely tasty and delicious! The service was fast and the food was served hot and with large portions. We will definitely return in the future!“

“I like this place. The food comes quickly and it's reliably decent. It has become my go-to Thai takeout when I'm short on time, or eat in when I just want something reliable. Some of the male waitstaff aren't super friendly, but a woman who cooked the food seemed kind.“

“Absolutely incredible experience! Amazing service, food was great, and the restaurant interior is beautiful. I especially loved the crispy pork with basil! They are open for dine in until 1am and deliveries until 2am so it’s super convenient! Highly recommended!“

“old skool cool. i've had many a meal here. it's probably responsible for how much i weigh after college.......actually i went here even more after graduating. everything is good. in particular pepper garlic chicken and basil eggplant chicken are two tasty standouts. good pad thai and pad see ew too. thankfully i work a little farther away from campus now, so i can't go here too often....but maybe i'll go again...“
