27 Best Thai Restaurants near San Mateo

“Food was standard American Thai fare. The pad thai was average, although my party enjoyed the spicy eggplant stir fry dish. Everything is pretty okay, and decent enough if you're in the mood for Thai food. I will say it was nice that entrees were $14-15. Pretty affordable meal.

We came on a Sunday afternoon (2pm) on a holiday weekend. We had to sign up on the waitlist, and it was about a 20minute wait until we got a text saying our table was ready. Staff was nice, although never refilled our waters.

The interior gives a casual vibe. The space isn't very big, and all tables were completely filled at all times. Noise volume inside was moderate. Can still hear your tablemates without raising your voice too much, but it wasn't quiet in there by any mean.s There's tv screens, one of which was broadcasting the news channel.“

“Love the food n the people who works there. ❤️papaya salad, pad thai. Fried pompano and ground chicken with basil Aroy mak mak 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️“

“Ordered the Wing Zapp and papaya salad to-go before an event I needed to attend this last Saturday. The food was delicious and I demolished ever bite. Very flavorful and great crunch on those chicken wings.

Service was good but they were incredibly busy. I'd definitely have patience and don't come in a rush.

Planning to come back on a week night hoping it's less busy.“

“Just got takeout here and it was really tasty. Green curry, Pad Thai, spring rolls and fresh rolls. 👌“

“Super good restaurants with healthy and tasty thai food. They do accommodate allergies and dietary restrictions. They could make Jain food for me and also adhere to it strictly even when I order from Doordash and call and let them know about my allergies and Jain religious dietary restrictions. The front desk person is so friendly and helpful.“

“Easily one of the top 5 pho bowls I’ve had an I’m Vietnamese. I had a lot of doubts about so many different Asian ethnicities represented as dishes here but from the few we samples (Japanese, viet, Thai), it did not disappoint. Also the craft beer selection is *chefs kiss*

Bonus points: 👧🏻 tolerant restaurant“

“From the super nice lady that took my order over the phone, to the friendly person at the register, I was impressed by the amazing service.

The food was tasty and fresh- especially all the veggies in our curry and garlic chicken - big pieces of fresh broccoli, carrot, and cabbage. The yellow curry was my favorite. I think I will ask for extra garlic on the garlic chicken next time- I love a lot of garlic.

Can’t wait to return to this hidden gem.“

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

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

“Everything is fine, yeah, everything 👍😍😍“

“Top notch home style Thai food, not sure I need to say more.

It's different enough from what you'd get at a restaurant, and very delicious! We're longtime fans of their pad see ew, pad Thai and (in particular) their khao soi, which they unfortunately run out of sometimes so come early! The staff are very friendly and happy to accommodate pure veg food requests as well.“

“food and service is superb! number 1“

“I’m Thai and my family was in the restaurant business so I know Thai food. Our group of over 10 people dined here today. Food was great. It was a team event so we requested a prix fixe menu and budget control. The restaurant was very responsive and go above and beyond to help us with the arrangements. The menu options was good. We had some vegans in the group and vegan options were good too. Everyone in my team loved it. Thank you for a wonderful evening!“

“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!“

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

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

“I've been here a couple times, and enjoyed both meals here. The papaya salad, pad Thai, and pad Kee mao have been consistently delicious. The larb was also good, but sooo spicy we almost died (I'd still get it again though).

It looks like the negative reviews have been primarily for delivery, but I'll go ahead and say that the dine-in experience has been quite good. The portions are pretty big as well.“
