Delicious!

Always fresh food, lovely service. Everytime I try something different from the menu, I find another favorite. Top picks include steamed vegetable dumplings, narberth jungle, Thai basil and panang curry. My husband can't get enough of the drunken noodles. We highly recommend Coco Thai Bistro.

This is the best food with the WORST service.

They no longer have wait staff - you have to use an app to order. Our food came out haphazardly seemingly whenever they felt like bringing it with my aunts' food taking half an hour longer than my husband and my food to arrive. They are extremely tight with portions - they charge for everything and give you a tiny bit of rice. Their prices are laughable - I spent $10 on a pot of tea with two Twinings tea bags.

Having received our food late, they then complained when we didn't leave at 8 pm on the dot (which is apparently when they close) even though there were others still in the restaurant. My aunts were scandalized by the treatment.

The food is fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere is fun - one is surrounded by plants and twinkle lights which is what they rely on for on-going business because the service is so bad it's laughable unless you are trying to entertain elderly relatives from out of town in which case it's mortifying.

I would recommend take out (but it is expensive for take out) otherwise don't go unless you are feeling extremely patient.

The food was good, I really enjoyed my red curry but the staff we encountered downstairs at the register was so rude I almost walked out. We came in and you can clearly see downstairs isn't for seating but we didn't see the hand written piece of paper hidden in the plants on the opposite corner of the room that said seating upstairs (because who would?!) so we went up the register and waited to ask thinking maybe it was just take out. The guy ignored us then eventually very aggressively pointed upstairs giving us a nasty look.

You have to place your order and pay on the website via a QR code and they include a 20% gratuity on your bill without exception. I think the whole thing is a bit of a ridiculous model for a restaurant. Just be warned that's how this place works.

The food was really good and the ambiance is very pleasant. However, the restaurant nickels and dimes their customers which is not appreciated. The appetizer dumplings were $12.95 and came with 3 decent sized dumplings but definitely not worth $4.33 each. The pangang curry came with jasmine rice or you could pay $2.00 extra for brown rice which is reasonable. But the rice was a very small scoop not enough for the whole meal. When extra brown rice was ordered they charged an extra $5.00 for the same small scoop. An additional $7.00 on the bill for rice alone seems rather steep. Finally, for dinning in, 20% gratuity is automatically added to the bill which is odd in itself when it was a party of 2. The bill for signature is presented so that gratuity can be added again and it is not clear the 20% gratuity was already added unless you look at the itemized bill which was deliberately wrapped up in the credit card. So future diners beware.

One of my favorite places to go. Some of the best Thai food I've ever had and the atmosphere always feels good.

The food is not worth the rude customer you receive. You won’t be greeted you won’t feel welcomed. I’d never go there again.

It’s just a beautiful aesthetic in here however the people that work here are not too friendly. When you come in they won’t greet you right away. And when they do finally greet you is as if they are only doing it because you’re going to spend money here. I came for soup. Once i learn to make the soup myself I’ll never come back here.

I don't know why this place only has 4 stars. It's the best Thai food I've ever had, has great ambience (so many plants and pretty lights!), and lovely people working there. It's my go-to spot when friends are visiting!

Forced tips.

The food was really bad, one of the plates was unfit for a human consumption.
I wish they were taking care of the food the same as they taking care of their plants.

Food is not consistently good. They often forget parts of our take out order. We will be going to a new thai restaurant from now on

Such a charming place! Cute interior, nice staff, and great food. An easy place to eat vegetarian or gluten free. Make a reservation for large groups.

Extremely beautiful atmosphere! I have food allergies, so I was only able to eat the spring rolls with shrimp added and a peanut sauce, which was tasty but simple. I was happy that they were able to accommodate me with a meal, considering I was allergic to everything on the menu. If you have a coconut and/or so allergy, unfortunately, this won't be the best place for dinner. The rest of my dinner party enjoyed everything they ordered, though. The beverages were also really tasty!

Dietary restrictions: Not coconut or soy allergy friendly.
