This place was always my go-to Thai restaurant. I've had the Pad-Thai so many times and it never disappoint.... Until today: it's April 10,2024. Is it the regular cook's day off or something??? The noodles are bland, color is almost white, not the usual deep orange color and the shrimps are soft, like they've gone bad. I'm so disappointed, wasted my time and $24 for this.

Good taste and quantity. The fried banana with coconut ice cream is good. Panang curry is also very tasty.

Best Thai restaurant in the South Bay. Big menu, great food, good service. There's usually a wait, but they do takeout if you want to pig out on pineapple fried rice and fried pompano in your pajamas.

This is near my aunts home . Their soup and pad Thai is good but save room for the dessert mango sticky rice it's so pretty too . Lots of dining inside parking is limited

This Thai food restaurant tastes amazing & tastes original Thai food, the service of the waitress is helpful and nice, the inside atmosphere is not really convenient because the inside doesn't have big space and is too tight between the table and chairs.

The ambiance was pleasant, the service was commendable, and the food, for the most part, was good as usual. Each dish was expertly prepared, showcasing fresh ingredients and thoughtful flavor combinations. From appetizers to desserts, every bite was a testament to the chef's skill and dedication to quality. The Pompano with mushroom sauce wasn't as good as the other times. While the fish itself was cooked to perfection, the sauce veered on the salty side, detracting slightly from the overall enjoyment of the dish. Still one of my favorite Thai restaurants. I will be coming back here.

Food was good. There was like 5 Birthday celebrations when I was there on 3.19, including mine. It was my first time and will be back here again when I am in town. There rib eye with dipping sauce was my favorite. The crunchy catfish with curry sauce was another good dish. Sticky rice with mango was well displayed and tasted awesome.

Best place in San Jose. It's a must go restaurant when I plan my shopping at Nordstrom next door. Best dish for me is Chan pad poo

We have been coming to this restaurant for more than ten years. The server was really rude and mean. We were asked to leave after we sat down to order due to bringing a dog carrier. We understood that this is not a dog friendly restaurant and also apologized for not checking it on Yelp before we got there. We asked nicely if we could eat at the table (outdoor dining) in front of the restaurant. She immediately said no and just wanted us to leave right away. She didn't even offer the option we can order Togo instead. SO RUDE! She just wanted us to LEAVE like some unwelcome species !!! Not sure if this is even related to racism issue which I didn't want to bring up! Nevertheless, we decided to order Togo instead. She changed her attitude slightly until we said we wanted to order lunch special Togo. Then, she said to us they no longer provided lunch special while the poster was still sticking at the front door! If you no longer provide lunch special, then just took down the post! We ended up going other restaurant instead. Wasting 30 mins here and didn't get our tummy fixed! The experience with this lady was so bad. I understand that this place is really popular and has a lot of customers. You probably won't need a customer like us but u truly do not have to show that! LONG OVERDUE REVIEW FROM LAST YEAR
I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. I went there on a Sunday night for dinner. Order 3 dishes and all of them were DISAPPOINTING. The noodle dish was probably the only palatable dish amongst the 3. Ordered Krungthai Tofu which is like a tofu tempura in a sauce with a few slices of bamboo shoots and 2-3 pieces of shrimps and calamari. The Song Kreung Fried Noodle is like a dry version of Rad Na Noodle. The worst is the Stuffed Calamari Green Curry which was not as described. The description of the dish is completely misleading. When the dish was served, I immediately stirred through the dish looking for the so-called stuffed calamari and found the item(s) being buried underneath the curry and the garnishes/complementary ingredients of thai eggplants, ginger and curry. It is unrecognizable as “calamari” but instead looking more like a cut up sausage link(s). The so-called minced pork was more like a paste or sausage stuffing and the taste is weird; not a good flavor at all. I waved down a staff whom turned out to be the manager according to the server whom took my order. I pointed out to the manager about the description being very misleading and that the server had failed to warn us that the dish is not fitting the description, vice versa. Instead of telling us about the stuffed calamari being “sausage-like”, the server kept emphasizing that the dish has thai eggplant which is not even the main ingredient. Anyway the manager asked if I like to “order something else instead and take it(stuffed calamari) to go”. That is the most ridiculous response I get as she had agreed that it is not made/cooked as described on the menu and is in fact their own rendition of “stuffed calamari” vs the traditional preparation of stuffed calamari. With that said, I would imagine that she would replace the dish instead of DOING NOTHING. Since the whole episode was a total letdown, it ruined my appetite and I asked for a container from the server for the green curry sauce & side eggplants and left every single pieces of the “calamari sausage” on the plate to make a point. I also reminded the server that she should have warned us about the CALAMARI being sausage-like instead of emphasizing that the dish contains thai eggplant which is already in the description of the dish. This is the most bizarre and bad customer service experience. Honestly who would pay $25.95 for weird tasting sausage…I chose that dish thinking it is real/fresh minced meat stuffed in calamari. WILL DEFINITELY NOT be returning and I’m writing this review to let it serves as a warning for future patron(s).Overall, this restaurant only has “Americanized/Westernized” thai food. DEFINITELY NOT AUTHENTIC thai cuisine. If that is your preference in terms of taste, and you are feeling generous to pay for mediocre, sub-standard food, head down to this place. BUT I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Woah. I just found my new favorite local Thai place! Sorry Lanna Thai. But this place has incredibly fresh food and great service too. I want to make a shout out to our server Jane for your outstanding service today! I ordered the Salmon with Asparagus while my wife ordered the Curry Chicken. We started out with the deep fried tofu. We were at Valley Fair mall and just walked to the restaurant. It seems that on a Sunday you want to arrive no later than Noon. After it gets packed! We will be back.
