50 Best Thai Restaurants near San Pablo

“fabulous food...generous portions...♡“

“First, we ordered the Nam Khao, ginger scallion kidney, papaya salad, and chicken wings for appetizers. The papaya salad was a little on the sweet side for me. The Nam Khao was pretty good, ESPECIALLY when I ate it with the pickled chili peppers. The kidneys were good too. I ate that with a side of steamed rice. My son ate the chicken wings (about 6 wings per order), so I didn't get to try it. He liked them and wanted to order another set.Then we moved on to soup. I ordered the Chow Jou with thin egg noodles. I didn't know there was an option to have the broth on the side, but I wanted it all together. The broth was bland. I needed to add salt, soy sauce, and pepper. I'm not one to usually add anything to my soup broth. The stuff inside the soup was good: chicken breast, ground pork, pork kidney, fish cake, fish ball, and shrimp. The slices of fish cake were small and it only came with one fish ball cut in half. Overall, I thought the Chow Jou was a 3.5/5.My husband ordered the pineapple fried rice. I'm allergic to pineapple, so I couldn't try it. The presentation of it was nice though.“

“wonderful owners. good concept.“

“Loved the decor and the vibe，great place to hang out with friends.The food was absolutely delicious! The flavors were spot on.If you're in the area, this place is a must-try!“

“Fantastic food and amazing service!!“

“My friend and I were able to get in on a Friday night, and I felt the experience was very good. The service was prompt and the ambiance was definitely classy and East Bay. I think the tables were slightly close to each other, creating an intimate environment but also easier to hear others talk. I was not super impressed with the food, but I think this is personal and my experience is not universal.“

“I got the jade curry and Thai curry puff along with a smoothie. The experience was nice, food was good and our server James was very attentive and friendly. If you’re in the area be sure to check it out!“

“Oh how I miss Anchalee! Beautiful cozy decor and the food is amazing. I have great memories of this place. Time to make my way back to enjoy.“

“I go to this place often and the staff now has my favorite table the way I like my water yeah they are good...! Food is excellent service is great.

Parking: Next to the post office 🏤 lots of foot traffic crazy homeless outside“

“I ordered delivery through GrubHub and it is fantastic! Their Thai fresh rolls come with an excellent peanut sauce that has a nice kick to it that enhances the flavor profile. They were awesome and substituted carrots for the eggplant in my green chicken curry which was fresh and flavorful.“

“Great food and service. My earring came off during dinner and I didn’t discover that it was missing until I got home. I called the next day and they went out of their way to find my favorite Christmas earring.“

“boat noodle soup rice ball salad larb fish is my favorite 1|2 lemongrass chicken papaya salad sticky rice“

“Excellent all around. The food was outstanding… our family of three loved it (including our toddler!). We ordered the pad Thai with chicken, the BBQ pork with sticky rice, and the praram with chicken.

The place itself is adorable and so clean. It’s situated on the corner with lots of opportunity to people watch. 5/5 stars for ambience.

The service, wonderful! Everyone was so nice and accommodating. The food came out fast. 5/5.

The food was loaded with protein and flavor. The vegetables were fresh and everything tasted pretty clean. 5/5.

Everything is well priced and it looks like they have great drink specials as well.

We will be back!“

“We got the green curry with beef instead of pork. It had broccoli, two squash pieces and a green chili in it. It was good. The sauce was on the thinner side and tasted nice. The meat was good.

The staff is so super friendly. Look forward to coming back and trying more dishes!

Parking: Park in their lot so your car doesn’t get bipped. It’s Oakland after all.“

“Had to take my daughter to UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland and we were looking for a good place to have lunch before her appointment. My daughter spotted this restaurant and we are absolutely in love. Clean, comfortable eating area inside and outside. Variety on the menu and best Thai food we’ve eaten in a long time. Amazing flavors and portions are just right. And let’s not forget the Thai tea, best everrr! Seriously highly recommend for lunch and dinner if you are in the Oakland area.“

“It’s a wonderful place to satisfy your cravings for Thai cuisine. The cozy and clean atmosphere with friendly staff adds to the overall dining experience.“

“Wow. Drunken beef, chicken with green beans, and chicken satay were all amazing, Coming back next week with colleagues.“

“The standard Thai menu items like green curry and pad see ew were unusually good. The “Thai home cooking” menu items like “mee cook”and “custard bread” dessert were bland and not tasty.“

“first time eating here. great place, great food. Nadir was very attentive and made sure everything was going well“

“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!“

“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.“

“Drunken noodles were amazing. Curry chicken was ok. Fried rice was ok. Slightly pricey (almost $3 for a small bowl of white rice). Soup was not very good.

They have a limited and pricey alcohol menu, but the servers know almost nothing about drinks.

If you find the right dish, and aren't looking for drinks, it is an ok place to eat. Servers are friendly.“

“My son and I were the first customers of the day and we were greeted so pleasantly as well as asked immediately if we’d like to see all the specials I love this place and frequent it often It never disappoints , the food was delicious and served promptly...I recommend it to anyone“

“My family loves Bangkok Thai. The yellow pumpkin curry is delicious, as are the salads, pad Thai, pad see-ew, fried rice, spring rolls, and fried banana with coconut ice cream for dessert. It’s a great place to celebrate a special occasion or just to gather with friends. We will be back soon. 💜❤️💚“

“Although there are very few vegan options here, I was pleasantly surprised with the Peanut Sauce Salad. They give you a lot of peanut sauce, on the side, which is great because I prefer lighter dressing. Truly, this was a great combination of flavors. Loved the crunchy bits at the top. It was very fresh and delicious. The photo doesn't show the actual green in the salad, but I assure you it's there and there's plenty of it. Very filling!

On a nice summer day, their unique patio is absolutely wonderful. And the server was very kind and courteous.“

“I definitely enjoyed the Mango Fried rice dish along with the garlic noodles. Had Thai Iced Tea, which is always a treat. I did call this order in for pick up. When I got there I had to wait a minute, because they were busy but it wasn't long. They gave me an extra Thai iced tea on the house, I didn't need it. Yet it shows the type of business I'm eating at. The ambiance is very welcoming. The art work on the walls of the culture is beautiful. Would recommend friends/family to come and try this place out.“

“Omfg. Want Michelin star level food in delightfully casual digs at normal-people prices? This is your spot. Just had the most melt-in-your-mouth brisket bowl. Beef was eye-wateringly delicious. Veggies steamed to a crunchy perfection. Jasmine rice fluffy. Annoying work day forgotten! Was going to take it to go and ended up staying to eat, drink some rose, and chill out in the cute surroundings. Officially one of my new fave spots“

“The food is great and friendly service! It’s my go to place whenever I’m in Sausalito..“

“This place is VERY CONSISTENT!!! The food is ALWAYS fresh and prepared well. I have yet to be disappointed. The staff remembers you and treats you like a special guest EVERY TIME“

“The food is amazing! We had a great experience“

“Think what a great Thai restaurant should be? and Summer Summer is that!“

“The praram sauce was delicious. They made the sauce vegetarian on request and it was absolutely delicious despite a modification. The veggies in the praram vegetables dish were cooked to perfection as well. Waiting for next visit 🤤

Vegetarian options: Truly vegetarian alternatives on request. At a lot of places the vegetarian swaps taste fishy (pun unintended). No such thing here, their vegetarian dishes are truly free from meat/fish. Thank u Pagarung 🙏“

“AAAAHHHHH-MAZING FOOD♡ MY HUSBAND AND MY FAVORITE NIGHT OUT DINNER PLACE♡♡“

“We had dinner on Saturday night, restaurant was not crowded however we understand that the staff was dealing with take out orders. Service was very slow for our order which seemed pretty straightforward: a soup and padthai. Other guests were served more quickly; people at the next table ordered just before we did, got their food, ate and left beforewe got our food?!? On another note, we were not able to dine on the terrasse since it was a bit chilly and there is only one heater that is broken. Buying more heaters should be made a priority. This said, the food was delicious and tasted very fresh. We all loved it. So highly recommend for the food and maybe ordering as take out, only!“

“I usually order the basil chicken or the green curries but everything is good there. Be careful if you request spicy, mom in kitchen will think you want it “Thai spicy” if you don’t elaborate. Thai spicy dropped me and I love spicy. 😂“

“Very nice and welcoming staff!Ordered takeout on a slow night and felt very calm while waiting for my food.I had the pad see ew with pork and the spicy basil with chicken. Good amount of spice for me with an average spice tolerance palette. Lasted me two meals!“

“My favorite is Su Kho Thai...A hot and sour soup base with rice noodles, ground pork, pork, crispies. Great for a cold day like today.“

“Great food and service, would recommend, love it 😋“

“Simple, clean, delicious, reasonably priced "hole in the wall" but without anything negative about anything -- just unpretentious with totally great food!
Lunch specials are a real bargain, but good any time. The coconut curry broths are fantastic, esp. Yellow curry with fresh eggplant & green beans.
Green curry as good, just different.
Red curry places third but still 5 stars.
Don't miss the little chive cakes or the Pad Thai as good as anywhere in Chiang Mai or Bangkok.
As for Thai in general, please note that 3 of the "world's best restaurants" listed for 2024 are in Thailand.

Chai Thai brings that to Berkeley!“

“Good food & Good service 👌🏼“

“Authentic fresh ingredients/spices, excellent customer services and now my fav thai restaurant ! If you haven’t tried it do so soon😋“

“Love this family owned restaurant. So happy to have great Thai food here in Hercules! Our family goes here and we've loved everything we've had so far. Customer service is always great too!! We enjoy the art showing about the Thai culture too!

Kid-friendliness: We bring our newborn and 3 year old here. The staff are friendly!“

“Great food, service and prices! My sister took me there for my birthday, and we both liked it.“

“Me and my co - workers loved the food that we ordered. We definitely come back and recommend“

“While staying across the road at the Mariott, I decided to walk around the shopping center and stumbled upon Tha Siam. I pulled up their website while standing outside, and looked at the "Chef's Suggestions" list. I thought the Grilled Short Rib with Garlic Noodle dish sounded good, so I went for it. Everyone inside was extremely friendly to me and polite while I placed my order and waited for a short while. I like my food spicy, but I forgot to say anything about wanting extra heat while ordering. The gentleman at the register said he could include hot sauces for me, and I thanked him. I got my food to go as I planned to walk back to the hotel to eat, but when I opened it 5 minutes later in my room I was not disappointed. The meal was beautifully put together, and it was delicious. I squeezed the orange over the marinated beef, and I added the extra hot sauces: fantastic! I highly recommend trying Tha Siam if you are in the area.“

“I saw someome make a TikTok about this place and immediately knew I had to add that to my list. I headed out to Berkeley on a Friday morning to try it out and I bought a friend who isnt a big fan of Thai and or Asian food. I was thankful to experience this style of northern Thai cuisine I believe the order Tanzie referred to it as. The hospitality and service was above average. I enjoyed all of my food and so did my friend. The pork jowl was agreed to be are favorite out of the all the dishes we tried. Very juicy , flavorful and just all around deliscious topped off with that crispy fried garlic. The brown rice over that soft scrambled "lava egg" was to die for paired with the savory tomato based minced pork that I ordered extra spicy of course. The star of the show that me and my friend both agreed on had to be the "prik nam pla" which I would describe as a sweet and spicy vinegar or fish sauce based dipping sauce accompanied by a nice punch of spice from the thai chili peppers. I dont have any complaints whatsoever and I will definitely be back.“

“I’ve been a loyal customer of this place since way back in 2008, when it was still called Thai Noodle before it got a name (and maybe ownership) makeover as The Noodle Thai Restaurant. The flavors? Just as delicious as ever, maybe even better!“

“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...“

“I was staying at the Holiday Inn Express next door and needed to get dinner so walked over and practically had the place to myself. I felt a little bad for them having few customers but I really enjoyed everything. I kept it simple and just ordered pad Thai with chicken and it was perfect. I definitely recommend this restaurant whether you’re staying at the hotel or not - it’s definitely worth a visit!“
