The things I do for good food, including driving down to the deep depths of SJ. But you could say that the food was too en-thai-sing to pass up! (I really cant pass up a good pun) I looovee thai food and my quest for finding great thai food never stops. I was referred by a couple of my friends to try this place and it did not disappoint! Parking: Easy, its located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. Restaurant/Decor: Very traditional feel with a lot of ornate pieces and designs. It was also pretty big in size with plenty of seating and great for large parties! Service: Quick and attentive. I always take note how often my water gets filled because Im not the most patient person so Im very appreciative when the servers fill water without me asking :) Food: I ordered a lottt but some of the highlights were the sizzling duck, yellow curry, papaya salad, and angel wings! All the dishes had great flavor and were cooked perfectly. The duck was crisp and fatty, the yellow curry was rich with a hint of sweetness, the papaya salad was refreshing and spicy, and the angel wings were crunchy and savory. I also tried the banana fritters. The fritters were warm and melted in your mouth and is paired perfectly with pineapple ice cream! Overall I really enjoyed the food and would come back again! Definitely check out if youre in the area and enjoy some appe-thai-zing food!

I happened to be in the area so decided to try out this place given its reviews, and now Im sad that I dont live in south SJ.. I had the papaya salad, mango chicken, and the fried banana. This place is pretty authentic in its flavors and spices. Eating the papaya salad reminded me of the first papaya salad I tried from a local street cart in Phuket, just the right blend of fish sauce and spices. The mango chicken was right on the dot. Chicken was super tender, and taking a bite with chicken, mango, and cashew was just amazing. And finally, the fried bananas. The other reviews were right on the dot in that the bananas werent too oily but has the perfect combination of the crispy dough and the soft banana. Awesome. I came on a Saturday late afternoon so it wasnt too crowded. The service was pretty good, and the food arrived in minutes. The decor overall looks very Thai authentic but not too overwhelming. Great atmosphere! Would definitely come again!

Went with a group of 11 at 8pm on a Sunday with a RSVP. It wasnt packed but taking RSVPs is still great. Food there was really tasty. Ordered the tom yum and tom kha soups. Both were tasty and plenty to go around the table. The pad thai is saucy and probably would be better with more spice. The pad see ewe was on point. Duck curry was good but not as good as the mango curry! I highly recommend that one. Didnt get a chance to post pics cuz everyone dove in too quick!

Good Thai food, but I found it to be rather expensive and heavily weighted toward seafood (and especially prawns). I was a bit disappointed with the spicy level of the food despite the waitress fretting that my order of extra spicy would result in the food being sent back, it turned out to be not spicy in any way. Saving grace was that the food was tasty, so I forgive the lack of burning.

Good local small business, tasty food, and the most friendly staff you could ask for. Tends to be quiet, especially earlier in the week. Im a big fan of the Pad See Ew, but all the dishes Ive tried are good quality and the staff is happy to bend over backwards to get just the right amount of spicy.

We visited on a Friday evening. We did not need a reservation. We ordered the thai basil fried rice and yellow curry. Food arrived early. The portion was good enough for two people. Both the fried rice and the yellow curry tasted really good. Would definitely visit again.

The worst place ever... dont go if you are very hungry.. they take there own sweet time.. order at least an hour ahead of time and then you can dine in with the hope that they will serve within few mins...

Just refinished interior but I always get take out. Good food, reasonable prices and very close if you live in Almaden. Definitely recommended.

Best green chicken curry! After trying over a dozen Thai places, this place has the best. Also, try adding pineapple to their red curry. Yum!

This was the worst Thai place Ive been to in the recent past. The food was terrible, and the service wasnt much better.

You will wait 75 minutes for your food even if you call it in 30 minutes ahead of time.
