Visited this place for lunch today with my coworkers. We went there around 11:40 am, settled in and ordered the food within few minutes of reaching there. It took more than an hour to get the food, and the veggie combo in particular took 1.5 hours. The servers were unapologetic about this. Even after 1.5 hours, they got the order wrong (it was supposed to be Panang Curry with veggies and Musaman curry with Tofu). Both tasted the same, and clearly there’s no tofu in either of the dishes. And the meat in my coworkers’ plates were cold! Would not recommend this place if there’s a large group going for lunch.

Great Thai food that has real spice/kick to it while still having actual FLAVOR. I ordered the red curry, drunken noodles, pineapple fried rice, & fried chicken spring rolls. You can taste the freshness in the food, was extremely happy with my order.

Great place for the whole family. Simple yet elegant Thai decor. Families favorite dishes are the yellow curry, calamari, shaken beef and the duck. Don’t forget the dessert, especially the mango sticky rice. Dining in can sometimes get chilly.

Pretty decent, typical American Thai, price point as well as taste

This was a very nice looking restaurant on the inside and was clean. Dined in with a group of coworkers and the staff was quick to put tables together for us. The ordering process was a bit wonky where some dishes came out more than 15 mins after others that were ordered at the same time. I ordered a jungle curry very spicy and was utterly disappointed with the food. The curry was not remotely spicy and was just flat. Very little protein, missing any pop of acid, and lacking in salt. The server was very kind, but with so many good food options around, I won't be coming back to this one.

The best Thai food ever! Shaken Beef was amazing, pad see ewe (sorry to butcher the spelling!) Was delicious! I was so excited to start eating that I forgot to take the picture until after I already dug in. I loved the fried banana with coconut ice cream. Thank you!!!

The atmosphere and service were pretty nice. We ordered pad thai,thai samosa,fried rice,spicy noodle (I forgot the name) and beef stir fry. I was craving pad thai however didn't like it. Smell was bad. I still love samosa. I'll go back to have it again but no pad thai.

Ordered the spicy snapper. It wasn’t spicy at all (and I’m not saying it wasn’t to my preferred heat level, it just wasn’t spicy. It was seasoned). Disappointed. It was otherwise delicious

Good food, beautiful decor and china, friendly server (owner maybe?), and great glass of inexpensive Chardonnay with a large pour.

Pretty decent, typical American Thai, price point as well as taste

just live in hotel nearby.
meal a good taste.
will come again

Super friendly personal.
Great tasting food.
Amazing service.
I’ll be back, and will bring the family and neighbors.

I had the most amazing experience here! The ambiance is nice, the food is great and service was fabulous. I visited on a day that included a blessing. It was so enlightening to be eating a meal as the monks prayed. It felt so amazing in their presence. There are no words to explain the atmosphere, you had to be present to really feel it. I had the yellow curry and Thai iced tea. It was very good. I felt really blessed to experience this amazing opportunity. I would definitely recommend.

Walked in 10 minutes before closing and asked if we could place a to go, and the hostess was happy to take the order. Made recommendations, and the order came out timely. Once home, the happiness continued as everything was hot and amazing. Make the effort to stop in and enjoy!

Exceedingly tasty Thai food. My favorite tom yum soup ever! Everything on the menu is vibrant, fresh, and flavorful. The restaurant has an elegant atmosphere, but we also love to use Thai Tamarind for takeout.

Amazing curry and tea. Lovely staff and authentic experience. Will definitely be back again. Vegetarian options for all dishes!

Incredibly rude male host. Avoid at all cost.

Make sure to arrive at least 30 minutes before the closing as otherwise they may be already closing.

Our son loves vegetable tofu soup and we like a variety of other dishes.

First time eating here we got take out and it was hot and on time.. very quality clean food. Not overly seasoned or greasy they really let the ingredients shine in the food. Definitely will go back.

Good foods Good service

Our go to spot for family celebrations. Old favorites, like the spicy fish, keep getting better. Good food, polite service, and prices that make it possible to have a little extraordinary take home.

I had the pleasure of trying the Tom Yum soup and rice with shrimps at this Thai restaurant, and it was an exceptional experience. Even though I don't consider myself a foodie, I was thoroughly impressed. The flavors were incredibly authentic, and the spice level was spot on, just as I had hoped. The Tom Yum soup was a delightful blend of tangy and spicy, while the fried rice with shrimp was cooked to perfection. I have to say that I'll be returning for more of this delicious Thai cuisine! THANK YOU!

First time but not the last...I really enjoyed this little jem. Service was great food was amazing and the atmosphere just right.

It was quiet. The food was good but not special.

Very accommodating on changing ingredients for our dietary needs

I was excited to try this place for the first time and ended up being Very disappointed. Order the Pad Thai and panang curry for take out. Pad Thai flavor was off, bland and overcooked noodles. The panang was bland and not quite what I expected it to be. Also ordered the papaya salad, which was not the traditional papaya salad that I would have expected. I was really hoping for good Thai but I was so disappointed in the meal. Cost was not worth it.

The restaurant dine in area looked comfortable and staff was nice when I walked in to grab the take out, just sorely dissatisfied with the food.

I had pad see ewe, I got hot and the server was very careful to make sure I knew it’s really spicy, she was right it was really spicy 💀 but very good, probably the best I’ve had. Service was very friendly almost like they’re my auntie lol

Got a pad Thai dish with fish sauce served to vegetarian.

Khao Soi is NOT Khao soi Very bland, nothing but overcooked noodles and bland broth. Traditional Khao soi has red onions, thicker broth, chicken. Very disappointed

Tom Khao, pad thai, curry.. ah! Too many great food options

Very poor service.

Waited for 15 minutes and seated myself. No waiters in the restaurant attending the customers as they were busy with take out customers coming in constantly. I tried calling them 10+ times and nobody picked up the phone. Planning to leave after patiently waiting for 30+ minutes.

Delicious! Best green curry I’ve every had. Peanut sauce, Thai tea, pra ram jay, and mango sticky rice was fantastic. So many vegan options too.

Wow! I’ve been to a lot of Thai places and this one is very good. Despite being here a long time, they have not lowered the quality of their food.

Great place for the whole family. Simple yet elegant Thai decor. Families favorite dishes are the yellow curry, calamari, shaken beef and the duck. Don’t forget the dessert, especially the mango sticky rice. Dining in can sometimes get chilly.

My partner and I ordered yellow curry w/rice, spring rolls, and Pad Thai. My partner had The Pad Thai and only could get through 2-3 bites before they had to stop, they said it tasted really off and had a strange smell. Once i got closer to the pad thai i was able to smell it and honestly it was one of the worse smelling things i ever encountered when it came to food. It was so bad that we couldn’t even finish the curry or spring rolls as it ruined our appetite. As i was tossing it back in the bag it came i started gagging as i was able smell the noodles more.

Honestly I would’ve made the short drive to restaurant to ask for a refund but the smell was so bad I just needed to get away from us.

Good ambience, good customer service & good food selections.

The food is authentic, fresh, and really yummy. Pad Thai, Satay Chicken, all the different curries, and Tom Yum soup are just a few of the dishes on the menu that I like to order and it's always consistent in quality and taste. The food is reasonably priced, and the service is superb and fast. Thai iced tea is my go to order if I'm thirsty, but they have a variety of other drinks and fresh juices. I would highly recommend them, and Chala the owner is very friendly, accommodating, and professional.

I took one of my clients there and he loved it I will be returning tonight❤️

The food was excellent, very authentic and was delivered in a timely manner.Friendly servers.

Amazing local Thai place with excellent service. Pad Thai and Kra Pow Gai are my favorites. We do take out once a week and have never been disappointed! Chala (the owner) is the best!! 🙌🏼💯

Nice Ambiance and Authentic Thai food by Chef and Owner. Great place to visit with family.

Fresh ingredients. No MSG. Caters really well to vegetarians and vegans. Love the mango and sticky rice.

Great food alright prices

One of the take out order, Pad Thai Noodle seemed already made before I ordered. Walked in to order take out and waited for 10 mins to pick up as soon as it was ready and drove home in 10 mins, one of dish was fresh-made but other dish Pad Thai noodle were all stuck together, seemed like it was cooked at least over 40 mins ago. It was not the first visit but it was pretty disappointing.

My new favorite Thai food restaurant in CA. The Red Curry is soooo good. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. I would recommend this to everyone. 10 out of 10🙂

We had such delicious variety of dishes. The waitresses were very helpful with our orders. This restaurant was nicely furnished and very clean.
I recommend this Thai Restaurant for small and big groups.

All skins in the spicy basil duck dish. There are no basil and not spicy, how come it called spicy basil duck..there's no pineapple in the fried rice, did they just gave us the wrong item?

I love this restaurant! I order takeout from them a lot and it’s always good, but I ate there in-person for the first time recently. It’s very nice inside, clean, spaced out, and elegant. And everyone who works there is so nice. Highly recommend!

Genuine, authentic Thai food with the perfect blend of spices.

Best Pad Gra Pow ever!!! Best go with Steam Rice.
Highly recommended!

10/10 - service and ambience. Chala's hospitality is admirable.
10/10 - cleanliness and COVID protocol.
10/10 - Food.
We ordered spring rolls, tofu satay, spicy basil fried rice, green and red curry. It was delicious & had the perfect amount of sweetness, salt & savory. It absolutely felt freshly cooked.
Will be absolutely visiting again! Highly recommended!

Awesome food - one of the best thai food i ate outside Thailand.

My husband and I have been coming here for close to a decade now. We love this restaurant! The food is amazing the atmosphere is welcoming and relaxing. Just bring yourself and anyone special to you to enjoy this Belmont treasure! Try the Beef Larb Salad, Tom Yum is very good too. You really can't go wrong here!

Best value for money in the Bay Area! Great food! Massaman and Pad Thai are always our go to orders!

I have been to this place many times. They have always been very good but yesterday our pineapple fried rice and papaya salad were inedible. We were really surprised because we used to love this place and we always got our Thai food from here. Sad to see this happen at our fav place. We ended up not eating the take out food. Really sad I hope they improve I will call and talk to the restaurant tomorrow as the staff are usually very friendly and see what happened.

The worst tom yam soup I ever tried. A sour instance filled with white onions..... Also, in normal restaurants they put utensils and napkins in the bag... not in this one

First time here. Service is great. Food was excellent! Will definitely be one of my go to for Thai outside of San Francisco.

The best Thai food ever! Shaken Beef was amazing, pad see ewe (sorry to butcher the spelling!) Was delicious! I was so excited to start eating that I forgot to take the picture until after I already dug in. I loved the fried banana with coconut ice cream. Thank you!!!

I showed up earlier today for take out. After ordering from the blue preprinted takeaway menus present at the door and at the counter, I happened to notice that the billed prices were $1 higher per dish for each of the two dishes ordered. When I asked why, the reply was "Oh, we printed those menus 3 years ago, and we couldn't stand to just throw them out". While I approve of the ecology of such a decision, it represents consumer fraud for each such dish sold to the public -- apparently for years. Note that the response was not "you're right", or "we'll fix that", or even "we'll put up a little sign so people know". So it seemed apparent to me that the proprietor felt entitled to charge the wrong price, and I felt churlish and ungenerous just to pay the correct amount. Under normal circumstances, I would report this to consumer affairs. But I, personally, won't be back -- as a matter of principle, and I will post this on social media sites instead. Good food, btw.

Love the food! They serve filling portions, which when I dined in before the 2020 lockdowns meant leftovers for tomorrow & now when I order to-go it equals 2 meals when paired with a cup of their soups (the soup can be a light but filling lunch on its own too, in my opinion).
The staff has always been kind and I remember the dining space as both elegant & calm.

Food was terrible & overpriced!!! Ordered takeout. Discovered there were no utensils when I arrived at my HOTEL room. They should ask if u need utensils. $24 for eggplant/tofu (mostly onions & bell peppers, pre-fried tofu), tom yum soup (mostly white onions & sweet when it should be sour with lemongrass/galangal, $2 extra for shrimp) & rice ($2 dry rice). I'm Vietnamese & know Thai food well. This place should go out of business.

We love our weekly take away dinner. Looking forward to the day we can eat in again.

Update (Jan 2021)

I have no idea what happened to this place. We had a Pad Thai, Tom Kha soup, Masumun curry and fried rice. Pad Thai had flaky and dry eggs, bland and dry noodles with sandy texture, and cardboard chicken that didn't taste of anything. Probably the worst Pad Thai I've had in a while. Fried rice again, completely bland and tasteless. Masumun curry had beef chunks in it, very few and again, tasteless. The only decent saving was the Tom Kha soup which wasn't too sour and was appropriate. But again, the prawns in it, completely tasteless. It is clear that something has happened to this restaurant. They are just dumping stale and not fresh meat (shrimp, beef, chicken) into their regular dishes, rather than crafting the dish around the ingredient. And again, that Pad Thai... completely dusty... Super disappointing.

----------
Your homely Thai restaurant with modern interior and surprisingly authentic Thai food. Chicken satays were surprisingly great. Pad Thai was great. This is one of the rare jewels in San Carlos / Belmont.

Food is well prepare and so good

Food was very sweet compared to more original Thai Tastes. Though I would probably just order again and ask for it to spiced up and less sweetened on the order instructions. If you come here expecting original tastes, make sure to ask.

they take too long to make the food

Pretty good thai food.

Great tasting Thai made at a heat level you can live with. Our favorite.

Not good, did not get what I ordered, I called when I got home to complain, said it was a miss communication on there part .Would not refund there error for 1 of my dishes I couldn’t even eat. 2 stars because they were friendly. When you call in the person taking your order is talking to someone else in background and you can here everything going on in back ground. I had to repeat myself several times and they still didn’t get my orders right. I would not recommend ☹️

Amazing food, they also gave us a complementary dessert and left a really nice note :) overall a great experience

Bad for delivery! Drives waiting for N minutes

Food was very tasty, the Panang curry was nice and mild with lots of flavor! Service could have been a little quicker, but overall good.

Great food and nice people!

Nice folks...but unfortunately average.

Nothing exceptional about the food. Average food.

Very nicely decorated restaurant with excellent lunch specials for under $10. The sauces were delicious serving size was more than I could eat. The beef was a liittle tough but when I cut it in smaller pieces it was very easy to chew. The chicken was delicious and generous serving.

Okay service, amazing food

Excellent Thai food with plenty of vegetarian options.

I really enjoyed this place. I went on a weekday evening and was greeted as if I was a usual customer. This was actually my first time there. I enjoyed a delicious chicken pad see ew, which was $9.95, and a Thai ice tea which I think had a little too much milk but I still enjoyed it, I believe that was $3.50 for a glass. This is a place I would go back to.

Really good Thai food and service

Nice a atmosphere, good service , good curries.

Open on labour day and relatively goid food

Delicious food. Wonderful service. Very accommodating for gluten-free. Definitely will go back!

The Greatest Thai Place In Da World !!@@

The atmosphere and service were pretty nice. We ordered pad thai,thai samosa,fried rice,spicy noodle (I forgot the name) and beef stir fry. I was craving pad thai however didn't like it. Smell was bad. I still love samosa. I'll go back to have it again but no pad thai.

Good food and good service.

Our favorite for Thai food in the peninsula. Taste is authentic and service is always friendly and prompt. I’ve taken off a star for our last visit when we walked in around 8.35 and we were told the kitchen was about to shut (which is odd since they are open till 9pm). Since we’ve always had great service, we decided to stay and order. We placed our desert order too since their fried banana/coconut ice cream is awesome. But got none that day!

Apparently when our meal ended and we asked for the dessert, the kitchen had closed. No apologies for the mistake or even a simple acknowledgement. And they still had 3 tables and 2 pick up orders going on...

Love it!! AMAZING food and service !!!@

I like the lunch. It's cheap and super big portions.

Had Pad thai and garlic chicken. Delicious food experience. Service was not as good. Once food was delivered, we were totally ignored. No iced tea refill and we had to get up and ask for a to go box and bill. Thus the 3 stars.

The food was so bland. The tom yum soup had no spice to it. The women working there were so kind and friendly. I would give it another chance if we vacation in san carlos again .

Tasty food, friendly service, going again

Best Thai food place in the area!! They don't just add fish sauce to everything! Tons of vegan and vegetarian options! Flavors are clean, rich and delicious! It's nice inside too, great for a work lunch or dinner date :)

Fancier than your typical Thai restaurant. Food is excellent and the service is very good. Recommend.

Would give it a pass the next time.

I got veggie red curry and jasmine rice for takeout from Thai Tamarind. It was so delicious, I've been telling everyone at work they need to try this place out. Spice level medium was perfect, I couldn't stop eating it. Will order/visit again!

I've tried many Thai restaurants, including many in the city that are quite good. I find Thai Tamarind is always very tasty and the ingredients are very fresh and well prepared. The staff is great too. Basically, there is everything to like about this place.

Great place good food

Amazing!
The food was excellent and the staff was very accommodating to my special requests making this a totally enjoyable experience. I will definitely return the next time I am in the area. Thanks to the chef for the duck panang curry, incredible

Flavors have consistently been on point. Service is questionable.

Loved it

Great food!!

DELICIOUS with fast and friendly service

Great food and service. The manager lady was very kind! The food was fast too!

Delicious! I had the shrimp spring rolls and the salmon with curry. Absolutely scrumptious!!

Service was okay, food was decent

Delicious food, excellent service. One of our favorites.

Got some takeout Kao Soi from here and it was pretty good! The flavor and taste of the curry was quality stuff and very fulfilling for only $13! Definitely gonna come back here again to get something to eat.

Loved the food!

Traditional Thailand food

Lunch special is kid sized, $13 shaken beef had 6 small cubes of beef... Left hungry... Taste is average.

We like it.

Very bright and flavorful food, but not heavy. We've been looking for that one Asian restaurant to call or, and we finally found it. The food is delicious, service to amazing, and the atmosphere is calm. Desert - TO DIE FOR!

The food is delicious!
Exelent place.

Went for lunch yesterday and found everything to be delicious and the service was excellent! Will definitely go there again!

Food is good. Not a fancy place, but clean

Good food. Dig the fried bananas.

Incredible flavor, perfectly cooked prawns... I would recommend this place to anyone!

Food was nothing special, but it was solid. We got Thai iced tea, pad Thai, and a vegetable dish. Everything ran a little on the sweeter side. I would eat here again, but wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to make it happen.

I ordered a Musamun dish. There was lots of meat in the dish, and a little piece of potato. There should have been carrots and more potatoes (to make it a more balanced meal), along with some tasty ingredients and spices. The brown rice was not very interesting, either. I was terribly disappointed. The only thing that I did enjoy was the fresh coconut juice. This dinner turned out to be not very good, and unnecessarily expensive. This dish was very constipating. (I certainly won't be revisiting this place.)

Food is good, compact space

Charming staff of employees, Wonderful atmosphere, The green curry could be a lot more spicy.

Expensive, no service, both fish dishes were really badly cooked. Tough on the outside yet raw on the inside! At least decor was nice though the space is loud.

Worst thai food I've ever had in the Bay area. Ordered
*Sea bass clay pot.. rubbery and no flavor, sent it back.
*Penang salmon.. undercooked on the think part but overcooked on the thin part. Flavor just passable. Had to put lots of salt pepper and siracha on it.
*Veggies... Decent. Just normal

Service was slow too.

Never coming back again.

Excellent food and ambience. Reasonable prices.

Good, as expected.

We had lunch at this restaurant for the third time. We came back even though the waitress was not very friendly because the food is tasty. Today our food was cold. I sent mine back to be reheated and it came back almost just as cold. And there were no apologies from the staff. Don’t think we’re going back.

I have visted several Thai restaurants, but this one really is a hidden gem serving authentic Thai food. Even their water tastes great!
