23 Best Thai Restaurants near Union City

“I had tried many Thai restaurants in the Bay area. This is one of my 2 favor thai restaurant. I had their curry . The Chicken is cooked perfectly. I'm glad they did not ask me. How spicy do I want it. They make it spicy which I like it. They know how spicy is supposed to be for Curry. I have tried many other dishes also very good.“

“I was there for dinner time and ordered a red curry with rice.
the flavors and aroma of the curry was really good. It was a shame that it was ala carte and didn't come with rice.
Portion size was good, Service was OK, as they took order from people who arrived after me first and even got their food first, understandably, even though the restaurant was pretty much empty.
$17 for curry and $4 for rice.
$27 dinner in bay area seems to be a Norm nowadays.“

“I've been contemplating going to this place for years. I wasn't able to stop by there because I was always at work. I finally went with my family and they don't miss a beat. It was on point. I will go there every week if I could. Everything was tender. Delicious, flavorful, colorful and pretty much healthy, which is rare nowadays. You can tell that they have been in this business for a while cuz they know what they're doing“

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

“They just hosted our annual Post-Thanksgiving Dinner. We were a party of 30. So much amazing food, and the service was wonderful. There are some special dishes we ordered that needed to be pre-ordered. “House Special Crab and Curry Crab” did not disappoint. We will definitely be back to try more dishes when we are in town.“

“Great tasting Thai food with approachable pricing. My two favorites are the Pad Thai (great balance of sweet and savory) and red duck curry (bold flavors and great tasting duck). Definitely worth a trip to check out. Mostly street parking or you can find a small lot on the side of the building.“

“It was our first time here. We enjoyed the food! We will be back soon!“

“This spot is so cute, clean and service is fast and friendly! The food was delicious and they even substituted chicken for the rib for me! They gave a me lot of chicken too. Will absolutely visit again!“

“I am a huge fan of Thai cuisine! It is, in fact, one of my absolute favorites.
I have had the pleasure of dining at various Thai restaurants across different cities and countries—Los Angeles, New York, Nice, and others. But I can assure you with absolute certainty: I have never tasted anything better or more delicious among Thai restaurants than the dishes served right here at Mai Thai. The food is delicious, generous, and exquisite, featuring a truly stunning presentation—all served with warmth and love! To all fellow fans of Thai cuisine, I wholeheartedly recommend this specific restaurant: Mai Thai.
I have never had such a delicious meal anywhere else, nor have I ever been welcomed with such warmth, attentiveness, and a true home-away-from-home feeling!
I love you guys!!!“

“Best food ever great service been to all three highly recommended 😋5 star's definitely“

“Great food, large portions at a great price. Has a mix of foods, Thai and crepes. Aa to the crepes they have combinations I’ve not seen before, i.e. Indian inspired. Staff are very pleasant. Offers indoor and outdoor seating.“

“First off, this place has been here for as long as I can remember. During my college years, I have seen this place and almost 20 years later, it is still here. Longevity in the restaurant business is tough so when looking for a place to add to my takeout list as a new resident to Castro Valley, I had to give this place a try.

I have been in Castro Valley for about 7 months now and have gotten take out from here at least 5 times and every single time, my wife and I have been greeted and treated with love by the owners. Were there a few times where I had to wait a little while longer because of how busy they were or issues in the kitchen? Of course yes, stuff like that happens. I am a patient and understanding person. What is always consistent is the warmth that the owner just seems to emit, it must be the Thai culture and personality as having traveled to Thailand more than a handful of times, I felt the the love from the people.

Now for the food. We usually order pad see eww, crab fried rice, angel wings and a few currys. The food always comes super hot and delicious, havent had a bad experience yet with the food. Honestly, what keeps me coming back is the lady that runs the place, I adore her and the love she treats people with.“

“I'd say 4.5 is great, some items are soo good and others are pretty good.

Love the crab khao soi. Crab awesome. Soup awesome. I like the noodles, but not the best around. Great use of vegetables

The roti is a must that's a sleeper hit.“

“Chai Thai Noodles Hayward is a fantastic spot for comforting Thai flavors! The noodles were perfectly cooked, rich in taste, and well-balanced with just the right level of spice and aroma. Every dish felt fresh and satisfying, especially the signature noodle bowls that really stand out. The portions were generous, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere was casual and welcoming. A great place for a quick, flavorful meal easily a 5-star experience!“

“Really enjoyed my experience here! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The soup was especially delicious, with a rich and comforting broth, and the chicken and shrimp were cooked perfectly. The portion was generous, and everything tasted fresh and well prepared. The atmosphere was also cozy and relaxing, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. Definitely a spot I’d come back to and recommend to others!“

“This Thai/Lao spot is truly a hidden gem in the Industrial area of Hayward off Highway 92. Fortunately, it's right off the freeway at the Clawiter/Eden Landing and you can spot it along the freeway.

Offering Thai and Lao food with some sushi rolls but I'm here for the Thai/Lao food as I love Nam Khao which is Southeast Asian crispy rice salad (with Lao pork) with plenty of flavor and textures accompanied with peanuts, mint, cilantro and lettuce for wrapping.

Royal Lao does a good one with plenty of bold flavors and heat (I asked for medium). The only comment I have for this dish it wasn't crispy (and not due to take out) so no crunch to it at all...no worries...popped into the air fryer and perfect! 4/5

:: Chicken Larb - ground chicken, herbs like mint, lime and fish sauce and chili with some cucumber and salad. - Flavorful and yummy. 4/5

:: Pork skewer (4) - good and juicy but could've been charred a bit to render some of the fat and get some caramelization from the sugars. Accompanied by a tomato-based sauce 3.5/5

Service friendly and efficient. Spoke to the owner, Noi and she mentioned the place has been there a year. Great option for Thai/Lao in the area as not many unless you go to East Oakland (Champa!) and head to Stockton's Angel Cruz Park.

Highly recommend stopping by. Place has a few tables for dining (no table service) but set up for take out. Pricing in line with similar spots. I'll definitely return to try other items and for the Nem Khao! Thank you Noi!

Note: Best to call or place order online to minimize wait.“

“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.“

“Best food ever great service been to all three highly recommended 😋5 star's definitely“

“A Thai Express is absolutely fantastic! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Every dish tasted authentic, and the portions were generous for the price. The staff was friendly, fast, and welcoming, and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. I especially loved how quickly the food came out without losing any quality. If you’re craving delicious Thai food with great service, A Thai Express is definitely the place to go. Highly recommended!“

“Food is good and Shorty, our host, is very nice and funny.“

“Great food! Love ❤️ all that we ordered. And the bubble teas, too“

“We've been coming here to Simply Thai for over 7 years and honestly love this place so much. The staff is always incredibly friendly, and since they're open six days a week, it’s our ultimate go-to. We always order via their website and have found it to be super user friendly.

Their Tom Kha Gai soup is the best! It has just the right amount of spicy kick, and we get it every single time. We also love their green and panang curries (they do not skimp on the protein, and the veggies are always spot on) as well as their flavorful pad kee mow (wide noodles).

They give you decent portions, too, so we always make sure to order extra just to have the best leftovers the next day. We highly recommend checking them out.“
