Diner Review №1

Great food, but they’re never open. When they say they are supposed to be.

Diner Review №2

This is my second time enjoying the food and convenient location of Sister Kitchen in Nipomo on their mobile facilities parked on Tefft Street. Good food, good menu and fair prices. Cooked to order with a smile. It is great to go out to enjoy a peaceful dining experience it is better when Sister Kitchen brings the experience to my hometown.

Diner Review №3

Excellent food but they have closed. There is rumor they will be back in 6 to 9 months, in a different location. I sure hope so.

Diner Review №4

Portion size for the price is bad and half the container was salad which was disappointing. Fresh spring rolls has no tofu in it and very small. Suvahns is way better tasting and better value for the price.

Diner Review №5

Delicious food. Sidewalk counter. Nice kitchen hot sauce

Diner Review №6

Diner Review №7

Not fancy, family-run Thai restaurant. Lots of variety on the menu. Big portions. Dine-in with limited tables and counter. Outside seating. Take-out.

Diner Review №12

Food was delicious. We got the pad see ew and yellow curry. We don’t eat shell fish so they were very willing to accommodate and cook our food without oyster sauce. And even made recommendations on what to order that would meet our dietary restrictions. Convenient location too. Will visit again!

This place is beyond amazing! Always great service and tons of yummy food every time I eat there! You can never go wrong with eating here! So glad I found this gem!

Diner Review №18

This was my second time here. My goodness it does not disappoint! My favorite by far is the Sister Curry! Yum!! Now that I live in the area it will be a frequent spot!

Diner Review №19

The food was amazing. I always rate the quality of Thai restaurants with the pad thai and my other favorites dishes. This place did not disappoint. I don't have any pictures to share because we ate dinner watching the sunset outdoors on Pismo beach.

Worst customer service ever. Had people waiting 2 plus hours for their food. Wasted my time.

Diner Review №26

The Chicken Pad Thai is AMAZING!

Diner Review №27

We had some of their curry and pad Thai dishes and they were top shelf! Best Thai food in the county! Much love, we'll be back.

Diner Review №28

This has always been my favorite Thai restaurant previously to covid. This time the entrees had smaller amount of vegetables and tiny amount of meat and consisted mostly the sauce. I will go back again because maybe it was an off day or its difficult to gauge the fresh vegetables with not regular traffic due to covid?

Diner Review №34

I have lived in San Luis Obispo for 10 years as I write this. My wife and I love Thai food and have been to nearly every Thai restaurant in this county, to say nothing of many, many places in around LA, OC and the Bay area, --even places up in Vancouver B. C. The central coast is blessed with a lot of amazing Thai restaurants but when we want the best Thai food in the county (and possibly the state), we will gladly get in our car and drive 15 miles, passing by at least 10 Thai restaurants along the way (including 4 within walking distance from our doorstep) to enjoy the amazingness that is Sister Kitchen. It's the flavor, the freshness of the vegetables, the fact that don't believe the owner has ever missed a day of work in her life and the love that goes into every dish. I recently ordered this Pork Curry dish and it was so good, I literally called them back to let them know how good it was. I've never done that before. The portions are large. I can easily get three meals out of one take-out dish. If you're vegan or vegetarian, they don't skimp on fresh produce either. Sister Kitchen is a treasure in Grover Beach and hopefully it will remain an institution for decades to come.

Diner Review №35

Delicious!! The food is packed with delicious flavor. I recommend the yellow curry and their sister curry! You won't regret.

Diner Review №36

Great Thai food and good service! The Green Curry was incredibly spicy compared to the other dishes though, so I do wish the servers had given us a little warning. I'd eat here again!

Diner Review №46

Food is amazing. Robust flavors.

Diner Review №47

Friendly service. Food was quite good. Kind of a diner vibe.

Diner Review №48

Sister Kitchen has got the best Thai food in the 5 cities area, no holds barred - personally, my favorite of theirs is the Pad Thai. Only problem would have to be that the service is a little slow, but it's worth it for the food.

Diner Review №49

Yes, go there! So good.
Had the fresh spring rolls and red curry with tofu. Yum

Updated review:

The best tasting Thai Food in the area. The service is excellent, and the price is reasonable.

I must say that of all the Thai restaurants I've visited between Santa Maria and SLO, this place is one of the best. Flavorful and just the right of spiciness to the food. I highly recommend their Larb, Pad, and the fresh rolls. I can relate to the negative customer service comments since they have one waitress working the night I went as well. Im Overall - A must try the Thai place and you won’t be disappointed. Large portions and price is good.

I had the #21 Khao Soi and it was really good and would definitely get it again.They gave me so much I took almost half home with me for another meal. It's a small place with just a few tables so depending on time of day you may have a wait. Close to Highway 1 and the train station on Grand Ave in Grover Beach.

I wish I can say good about the food. The servers were great but the food is awful. We met up in this place because it is half way between places we were coming from. It is a very local place but the taste of the food, the way it was cooked and even the simple presentation was not to our liking.

Diner Review №100

Spring rolls were greasy but the dipping sauce was good. Soup was VERY watery and you can’t even taste the coconut milk, it just tasted like lime water with mushrooms in it that we paid $22 for cuz we added shrimp. The curry had decent flavor but also very thin and they didn’t give us any rice so we had to make our own at home. Asked for mild so my kids could have some but it was way past mild. Much better places down the road that i’ll be going to in the future.

Diner Review №101

Nice service and good food but with the 4 dishes we ordered, the protein selected was a very small portion of the dish. Wonton soup with 5 wontons. Beef curry with 75% veggies, etc. Good food. Just... hope they get the portions figured out better or just turn it into vegan food, idk.

Diner Review №122

I haven't actually dined here, just heard about how good their fried egg rolls are and ordered them to go a couple of times. The last time I ordered through Door Dash I added dumplings. Everything was good, but the dumplings were cold. I'm not sure if they are supposed to be cold, but they still tasted good. I only have it 4 stars because it seems like there has always been a significant wait when I called in an order.

Diner Review №140

This place is soooo good, we come here frequently.

Diner Review №141

Very friendly and the food is great

Diner Review №142

To say crowded is an understatement, but that just goes to show how good the Thai is. We've never been, and we're staying at the nearby RV/camping sites when my friends recommended them. We ordered and paid online and ran over. But oh man, it was worth the wait and when they say hot, you better listen! Will come again when were back in town.

Diner Review №143

Amazing food

Diner Review №144

Diner Review №145

Diner Review №146

Food is ok, service is great but needs improvement, when we got our drinks i ask for ice tea i did not get sugar or straws until she finally came back by. Food is ok but does not compare to Asian experience, I say this because my wife order the sea food tom yum and it came with previously frozen sea food. The fish pieces tastedvlike cardboard and there was absolutely no flavor at all. All and all is ok if you are in a hurry.

Diner Review №147

I really liked the sister sauce they use. The chicken wantons were great. I finally got to eat wontons because usually they're filled with some type of shellfish. I also wanted to try the dumplings but found out they had shrimp in them which is not in their description. That's something they're going to have to change because that can be very dangerous for people with allergies. Also had spring rolls which was fried; they tasted good. I had the pad khi mao, it was so much food, very tasty and had a lot of meat in it. It was only halfway through my meal that I realized but I was eating chicken when I had actually ordered pork so that was a bit annoying but it still tasted good. The atmosphere was nice however the whole restaurant seem to be vibrating especially if you sat by the window I'm not sure what was happening that day or if that's something that occurs there all the time.

Diner Review №148

Outstanding Pad Thai for lunch today.. great flavor. The fresh spring rolls with the sweet sauce are a perfect starter.
1:45 ish the lunch rush was over. At which point you could have a conversation. Service was good. Definitely, on the list of good Thai. Enjoy.

Diner Review №149

Friendly staff. I ordered yellow curry it didn't have as much flavor as I love and want. Big portions of curry and lots of vegetables. Also ordered the dumplings and golden wanton. The meat inside was bland.

Diner Review №150

I've been here and had really good food but I've been here and had just Ok food. Hot and miss

Diner Review №151

Friendly staff and both times I've been the food is generous and amazing!

Diner Review №153

Diner Review №154

Great food but door dash took 1Hr and 30Min for are food to arrive .

Diner Review №155

If the wait to get your table and then your food seems long, it only means they’re BUSY! Once your food arrives all negative thoughts disappear as your tastebuds drift into into culinary wonderland...

Diner Review №156

Food was delicious. Recommended by staff at 805 beach breaks and they weren't wrong. I got the pineapple curry and it was amazing .

Diner Review №159

Soooo good great food and service.

Diner Review №160

The BEST Thai food in town! Made fresh right in front of you. You can not go wrong with anything you order. My favorite apps are the dumplings, fresh spring rolls, fried spring rolls. The larb salad is satisfying and filling. The bah mee soup is my absolute favorite meal. The broth is amazing! I order it without noodles and extra veggies and it's completely paleo. Pad Thai, and Pad se yew are the best noodle dishes and all the stri fries are delish. Guy Fieri needs to check out this hometown diner. Always worth the wait.

Diner Review №161

The best Thai food in the county! Got the pad Thai, bunch of other noodles. Best noodles!

Diner Review №162

This restaurant really hasn’t gotten what it deserves. The service was excellent, the medium on spice level was pleasantly warming and the atmosphere is diner Thai. The kitchen is on full display and the cooking can be a little loud but it’s part of the experience. Pictured is the sister curry with tofu. The tofu is super soft and they give a VERY healthy portion. I wish I lived here so I could come more often!

Diner Review №163

I have eaten almost every dish on the menu and give all of them 5 stars.

Diner Review №164

My fave thai restaurant but they need to step their game up a little . Took 40min to get or meal and they forgot our appetizer & refused to discount it after they said they gave it to someone else.
