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.“

“It’s just good Thai food. Great portions. Thought we wouldn’t be able to finish it but it was honestly just so good we couldn’t stop. Got the pad Thai, papaya salad, roti dip and yellow curry. Pad Thai and papaya salad were definitely the standouts. My only gripe with the restaurant is that it’s quite loud and it’s hard to hear whoever you’re dining with. I think they could benefit from more decorations to bounce the sound off of.“

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

“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.“

“This place is a nice hidden gem. If you like Japanese fusion food this spot is a must try. It’s very modern and relaxed inside, and in the evening they even have a nice counter bar to try different beers/sake. They also have their own soda line! Definitely worth going to for a casual date or night out.“

“Excellent meal with the excellent price. As a Thai person, I can guarantee that the food is authentic. When you see that a shop sells the single dishes that you never heard of, you know that they are confident in their dishes! I got the roast pork rice and it was everything I need for a good one. The staff is kind and friendly as well. You don't have to travel to a big city to get satisfying Thai food anymore :)“

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

“food and service is superb! number 1“

“Loved their food + great service!“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Amazing! Food and Service. We ate so quick I forgot to take a photo.
10 stars for it all!
Super fresh!
Mango sticky rice!!!!!!
We had the beef noodle bow!
Perfect! For only being 7 minutes away from the airport! This will be our new spot when we fly In or out.“

See ewe TOm kha Papaya salad with salted crab duck friend rice Fried chicken Sticky rice duck curry . Everyting was tasty and satisfying 🤤🤤🤤“

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

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

“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.“

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