I love the pad Thai, curries, coconut soup, and pad kee mao, but I miss the flavor of the old pad Thai. This place takes feedback VERY seriously so I understand changing it if some people didn’t like it, I don’t mind the new pad Thai in a lot of ways it’s better! like the flat noodles and the yummy hints of citrus! Thai place is good, quick, and the customer service is superb! I would highly recommend it if you’re passing by!

I've had much better Thai food at most any other Thai restaurant. I ordered the curry and found the medium spice to be just borderline mild.... and the bamboo shoots were tough/chewy. Soup was just above lukewarm. My friend was disappointed with his dish also.

Diner Review №11

Great food. I love how they dont over cook the noodles. It was very very good.
Serving size is not big as other reviews have stated but it was fine for me.

We loved the beef curry. Very casual, affordable Thai food.

Diner Review №18

We had pad thai. It was too sweet and taste was meh. It caused gas afterwards. Will not be going there again.

Diner Review №19

This was my first time to try this restaurant I am from San Jose I ordered the sweet basil chicken. It was very delicious the price was reasonable. The cashier was friendly and recommended the dish to me I was not disappointed with the sweet basil.The interior of the restaurant is clean and there is parking outside the restaurant.

Diner Review №20

I had a great lunch here. It’s counter service featuring Asian fusion or Thai. The staff was really friendly. My order was taken quickly and the wait for me food was reasonable. The ingredients were fresh and well prepared. I sat out side which while very nice is adjacent to a four lane road so it not romantic. This is a great lunch option

Diner Review №21

Was there for a lunch meeting. Excellent quality of food.

Diner Review №22

Decent food, the curry’s not as good as I make lol
Counter order, they bring the food to table. But cute place

Diner Review №23

We live nearby and get takeout a couple times a month. I’ve never had a not great dish even once. Soup, salad, curries, noodles, stir fry… it’s all good. Not fussy in the least but super fresh and customizable. I like to order online while on my way home from somewhere and pick it up on my way by.

Diner Review №24

Il faut commander et payer au comptoir, l accueil reste charmant.
Les plats arrivent très vite : comment sont ils réalisés ?
Ce n'est pas les meilleurs Pad Thai que j'ai eu à déguster.
Pas de boisson alcoolisée servie.

Best Thai food I’ve had in the bay

Diner Review №30

Google & Yelp have disappointed us again… pointing us in the direction of this place with high ratings that did not live up to the hype, unfortunately.

These days everything has become expensive, so when we go out we are relying on other people’s experiences, so we don’t waste our time nor money.

This place wasn’t what we were expecting. The food came out WAY too fast to be considered “fresh,” portions are hella small for what they are charging, and you have to order at the register. Meh 🫤 we were hoping for some delicious Thai food, where we could be served and leave content/full/happy. Spoon & Fork wasn’t that place, for us at least.

Wouldn’t come bank again.

Diner Review №31

Diner Review №32

Cute little spot to eat and great food. Portions are on the smaller side, especially for the price. It's our go-to spot when we're craving Thai food, would recommend.

Diner Review №33

I am Thai on a business trip in San Carlos and came across this authentic restaurant. I was really surprised by how good and authentic the foods are. Staffs are super friendly and helpful. Will come back for sure.

Diner Review №34

Tasty food that perfectly compliments its lively ambiance.

Diner Review №35

Love the Pad Thai here! Fast and friendly service with wonderful atmosphere. New fav Thai spot!

Diner Review №36

Never again. $29.00 for just some noodles is crazy.

Diner Review №37

The food was pretty good, the ingredients were fresh but the prices where high. So overall, while I appreciate this restaurant option in our neighborhood, the price will probably keep me from coming back again. We got the chicken wings (excellent flavor), pad Thai with shrimp (pretty fresh, though lacking excitement), Penang Curry (our least favorite dish because its consistency was more of a soup than a curry), and mango sticky rice (we liked it although it didn’t seem authentic as the mango was hard and tasted more like an apple than a Thai mango). The total including tax and tip was $92.

Great food! Decent place for a quick sit down meal

Diner Review №41

I'm not someone to tell authentic Thai cuisine but as an Asian, this is def one of the good places. Highly recommended!

Diner Review №42

Delicious food and a very friendly staff!

Diner Review №43

Food tastes good but prob sizes are small

Diner Review №44

Great food, great service, both takeout and dine in

Diner Review №45

Amazing food. Always hot and delicious, and the workers are all very friendly. I'm a big fan of the pad thai and coconut rice.

Diner Review №46

My favorite Thai restaurant in the area and it's just gotten better! Authentic food and really nice service. The employees really go out of their way to be helpful. Some of the dishes can be made not spicy, but not all, so check with the restaurant if that's a concern for you. Our go-tos are pork larb (not spicy), pad see ew, green curry, tom yum soup, woonsen pad thai. The egg rolls are really yummy too and are totally worth the price...!

The outdoor space has space heaters that work really really well! We were able to have a large party (4 adults and 8 kids!) seated outside despite it being a little windy and cold, and it worked great. It looks like a fast casual spot but they now offer dine-in service with nice looking tableware so it's much nicer than one would expect of the venue, and it's quite cozy inside especially with its holiday decorations!

Diner Review №47

I really enjoyed the lunch special and the hibiscus lemonade. It was my first time there and I had a really positive experience.

Diner Review №48

Great hidden gem, The food was not only good but also incredibly tasty and authentic. We tried the woonsen shrimp Pad Thai, Tom Kha soup, and Thai Chicken Basil, and each dish was bursting with flavor.

The specials woonsen pad thai for the night added an exciting twist to our tradition pad thai.

it's worth noting that the spice levels can be quite intense, so be prepared for some heat or let them know upfront to bring the heat down

The customer service was excellent, making our visit even more enjoyable. The Pad thai was spicey, and they immediately offered another replacement that was the right heat.

I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious Thai cuisine!

Diner Review №49

Outstanding Thai food.

Diner Review №50

Great vibes at the location, fast delivery, absolutely amazing comfort food. I crave the coconut rice all the time. How do they get it so soft but just barely crispy at the same time? Honestly for such a small place, they make incredible food where you can taste all of the ingredients. We probably order every other week so please don’t ever leave me.

Diner Review №51

Incredible food and service!

Diner Review №52

This place is hidden gem - I’ve been here a few times and have not been disappointed. Pad kee mow and pad see ew were both solidly above average - top 25% of places I’ve been. Good casual vibe and quick service, no wait.

Diner Review №53

Diner Review №54

I have been here many times and I am a regular. It is one of the few places that makes me feel comfortable when I order vegan or vegetarian meals.

The food quality, quantity and taste is AMAZING. Strongly to recommended to anyone who likes Thai food and even those who haven't tried or like Thai! I am reasonably sure they'll convert once they try Spoon and Fork.

Stuff to try for vegetarians:
Pad Kee Maw
Fried rice
Stir fry

Unfortunately, they can't make the curries (green / yellow) vegetarian.

I have had food in restaurants all over the world including many Michelin starred ones. I can swear that this place is amazing :)

Diner Review №55

I took my friend there for his birthday and I was surprised and a little uncomfortable that they expect you to tip when you pay for the meal. I didn't say anything at the time because I it was my friends birthday...having said that all that they do is bring your food/drink to the table...most restaurants servers do a lot more service for tips 🤔
The food was good, although I was disappointed that my friends dinner had very little chicken...and their lemonade is excellent...as for the rest of the menu they had very few choices and even less if you don't like spicy food.

Diner Review №56

Diner Review №57

Love their food! The ladies are so nice too!

Diner Review №58

This place is the best Thai food hands down. Fresh and delicious.

Diner Review №59

Diner Review №60

Food is good. It's counter service. They do bring the food to your table. We like sitting outside.

Diner Review №61

Veg pad Thai. Too sweet and average for the price point

Diner Review №62

Fast and friendly counter service. Chicken Pad See Ew was tasty but unfortunately there were a few egg shells. No biggie - I still recommend it.

We paid $50 for 2 diet cokes cans, a portion of pad Thai, a portion of larb, a fried wonton snack, and the tip. Everything was good, but the portion sizes could have been a bit more.

Diner Review №70

We were planning to go to near by restaurant but it was not open then decided to come to here even though we had a small concern that it was too casual to bring our client.
The food was so very good and the casual environment made the experience even better.
We will definitely come back here eat in or take out.

Diner Review №71

Very good food. Menu is a little limited, but what they do make is very tasty. People are very friendly.

Diner Review №72

I got the Pad Thai and although it was cooked well, the portion size could serve to be a bit bigger.

Diner Review №73

Diner Review №74

Always clean environment. Food is delicious and fresh, staff are super friendly. We have this restaurant in our normal rotation of favorite places to eat.

Diner Review №75

Thai fast food, you're eating out of take out boxes. Seating is clean and plentiful (indoor and outdoor) We had a little bit of time before going back to work, and this place was easy and quick

Soup, yum kanar salad and pork pad see yew noodles were good. The heat builds, but it wasn't too spicy and the sweetness of the noodles was what I expected.

They also have mango pandan sticky rice and hibiscus lemonade, we were tempted but didn't try

Diner Review №80

First time I got takeout and everything was perfect but this time they said website issues caused them not to receive my order so I had to wait another 25 min. The pad Thai this time was more sweet and too much sauce which caused most of the noodles to stick together. I actually tried to call in my order but that wasn't working either.

Diner Review №81

Great location, very good parking in a ln area where parking is tight! The food choice is very good. They will spice food up right. If the food had a little less salt I would give it the 5th star!

Diner Review №82

Diner Review №83

The flavors are good but they put too much sugar into the food. It sometimes taste so sweet, it's kind of gross. Please reduce the sugar by 90%. You don't need it.

The second issue is that they ground their meat which is kind of cheating you. You get maybe 2 small tablespoons of meat which is so finely ground, it typically gets stuck between your teeth. Please stop grinding the meat. That's NOT how it is done in Thailand. I used to live there.

The place is rarely busy and I'm surprised they have stayed in business.

For the amount of protein, you are getting, it's very expensive. What you are mainly eating are noodles or rice.

I live in Belmont for over three years and it was my first time here! I'm so surprised we have such a good Thai food around the neighborhood with reasonable price. I'll come to try other food soon.

Diner Review №87

Diner Review №88

A mix of fast food and traditional sit down. Everything was good and yes I agree with most that the pad thai is their best dish. The red cury was weak on flavor.

Diner Review №89

Diner Review №90

I LOVE THIS PLACE AND THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS!

Diner Review №91

Diner Review №92

Diner Review №93

very tasty and unique food that i don’t usually get in normal Thai restaurant. The service is fast and the food is refresh! Will recommend to all the people who are craving for thai food. I like their Larb most.

Diner Review №94

Diner Review №95

Very authentic Thai food. Would recommend. Little more on spicy note and the plates keep the food super hot, beware!! 😊might’ve burnt my tongue a little as was too excited to eat.

Diner Review №96

Diner Review №97

We come here very often, almost weekly. Amazing flavor in all the dishes we've tried so far. So glad that this is close to where we live!

Diner Review №98

I like that it's a more informal dining room, you order at the cash register and then sit down. Service was fast👍 The Pad Thai was perfect, I ordered it without meat and only tofu. More noodles than sprouts,👍👍Easy to park and lots of light, open seating.

Diner Review №99

We ordered Basil Stir Fry, the Tom Yoon Soup and a side dish with pork neck and all were very tasty!

Diner Review №100

Diner Review №101

New to the Bay Area. We LOVE Thai food and haven’t been happy with what we have found so far. Came across Spoon and Fork and this is now a meal we come to maybe every few weeks. So good and tastes very fresh.

Diner Review №102

Diner Review №103

Diner Review №104

Delicious! The veggies are always plentiful and fresh, perfectly cooked. Curries and soups are full of flavor and very real and fresh tasting. Really appreciate the option to customize spice level when feeding kids, no spice really is not spicy at all and still tastes amazing.

Diner Review №109

Diner Review №110

Nice people, delicious food.

Diner Review №111

Decent fast casual spot for Thai classics. It has a lean menu with the staples: appetizers, salads, noodles, etc. The renditions are a bit different from your typical Thai restaurants which do Bangkok or Changmai style Thai. We still had a good meal with plenty left for lunch/dinner the next day.

Diner Review №112

Our 2nd time going and still delicious!!

Diner Review №113

Loved the pai thai

Diner Review №114

Diner Review №115

Great food, fast service. A++

Diner Review №116

Pad thai was exceptionally solid. Can confirm order can take some time. Not much place to sit in/around and ventilation is limited, use it as a to-go place.

Diner Review №117

Diner Review №118

Great food, fresh ingredients. Friendly staff. Pickup takes a little longer than posted but planning for it and the solid tasting food makes up for it.

Diner Review №119

After living in SE Asia for a number of years, I have missed good Thai food since I moved to the Bay Area. Spoon & Fork takes me back...have gone back twice since

Diner Review №120

A delicious meal presented in a modern diner setting. The pad see eiw noodles were soft, the mango with pandan sticky rice was really refreshing. Not pictured is the tom kha gai soup, which had a warm, spicy, sourness that I really enjoyed.
Great place that I’ll love to come back to.

Diner Review №128

I love Spoon and Fork for its convenient Bay Area location, super friendly service and promptly served tasty Thai food!
I've been here a dozen times and always leave satisfied. Only outdoor seating and take out due to Covid, but still worth visiting for a bite to eat!

Diner Review №129

Diner Review №130

Food is fantastic, and very light. They are extremely friendly and definitely the best Thai food in San Carlos/ Belmont.

Diner Review №131

It's ok food but very pricey. There was nothing special in the flavour of the food and the portions were small. Definitely underwhelmed.

Diner Review №132

Truly disappointing meal. For $75 I received stale fried rice, dry unseasoned overcooked chicken that simply had sauces thrown on top. Even their Thai iced tea was a disappointing cup of syrup. I would avoid this place even when you're having a COV19 driven hankering for some Thai food.

Diner Review №133

DELICIOUS! Service is great, food is amazing. I feel like I'll be a regular here

Diner Review №134

Best pad thai in the neighborhood! Also had the wings, which I'd order again too!

Diner Review №135

Very fresh tasting, but not the best Thai flavors I've had and a bit pricey.

Authentic Thai food

Diner Review №149

Diner Review №150

Scrumptious clean lite food at a reasonable price (at least in the Bay Area)

Diner Review №151

Delicious food and friendly service in a noisy setting. Our lunch was delicious. Seating choices were inside with loud music or outside with traffic noise as you're sitting at El Camino. Server was very helpful and nice.

Diner Review №152

Very good Thai food. Not cheap for the paper plates and plastic forks and no servers. $3 for a can of coke? The food was good though.

Diner Review №153

Great food, convenient location, cooked to order.

Diner Review №154

New favorite Thai in the peninsula. Try the pork neck!

Diner Review №155

Diner Review №156

Awesome fried chicken wings- great flavor (could be bigger) I ate all the onions they were so delicious. Basil chicken is really really good. I’m on the fence about the green curry (was white) I think it may have been because we ordered mild. Pad Thai was ok... maybe too sweet for me. The place is clean. Parking up top is chained close to opening .

Diner Review №157

Diner Review №158

Food was fast, simple, and quality. The place is nice and clean. They have a nice little outdoor seating area too.
