Cheery restaurant serving small plates inspired by the street vendors of Thailand.
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! The food is piping hot and delicious every single time. The service is fast and friendly. I usually go with my wife for lunch during the week and this place is always packed. That's because a lot of other people think this place is great too. I would recommend the duck noodles, but all of the dishes are good.
We went here on a recommendation and were happy we did. Cute little atmosphere, excellent service, and the food was ๐. (And the bathrooms were very clean!) The young man that helped us with our orders, (Om, I believe but probably misspelled it) was so nice and helpful talking us through different dishes and making suggestions, then he kept coming outside to check on us and make sure we didn't need anything else. The food... I got these puffy curry things that were 5/5. I'd go back just for those. Also, drunken noodles were delicious and then one of their popular chicken dishes that I cannot remember the name. Also had a green papaya salad which was delish too. For me, some dishes were a moderate heat, but I love spicy food, so if that's an issue, you can request they tone the spice down. Also, we ate outside with the dog, so they are dog friendly!
The food was ok, it gets the job done. It's like a quick bite, but not oh damn I need to come back. I didn't like the fact that they didn't have the chili containers and gave me Sriracha instead. Prices were good considering it's Livermore.
The curry here is amazing. I like all the spicy options they have here but am not the biggest fan of the mild ones. I enjoy the food, the (quick) service, and how I always seem to find a table despite the place being packed. The place does get busy, but people seem to come and go quick enough for it to not matter. Parking lot is small but I always seem to find a spot along the fence by the gas station. Overall, I like this place. I was put off at first by the small plates but a few bites in this place really suprises with how much they can pack into then. Definitely a go to place for Thai in the area.
Some of the food, especially the non-curries, is quite distinctive and well done. I'm not convinced by the newer dishes, such as the shiu mai and curry noodle below. The food is better than the counter-service experience would suggest, and I do really like the duck curry and the dry green peppercorn curry. Can be absurdly busy, go before 11:45 a.m.
Quick and friendly service and delicious food with vegan options!

Great Spicy Thai Food! Our favorite Livermore Restaurant. Special Pumpkin curry was Great!

Very authentic Thai food - from parents who have visited Thailand frequently. What a hidden gem!
Portions are too small and they have increased their prices. 15% tip is minimum charged at the counter itself. Won't be coming back again.
Server was great
This place is the best. Everyone in Livermore knows it. The line is always out the door at prime time.
Food was amazing ๐ ๐
Great spot nice crew best pad see ew ive had i will be returning!
Delicious Thai food with a good atmosphere. Closer to authentic Thai taste for a place that is far from Thai Town in Los Angeles. Place your order and pay then find a seat. Seating is limited and the place is very busy weekdays at noon. Majority of the people are from the labs. Coke products available and are sold by the cans. Outdoor seating available. Restrooms are open. Parking in shared small Plaza lot is tight and not recommended for larger vehicles. Street parking is available and can accommodate trailers but that too does fill up.
The best yellow curry I e ever tasted (and I eat a lot of curry).
Tried the yellow curry noodles... wow!
Great service.. will return.
Very fast service now, order at the counter really made it a ton better.

The food is always good here and the service is quick and friendly
Good food
They should extend their hours.
Food Quantity is less. 3 springroles for $8
Delicious and very fast. I got the Beef Red Curry and a Thai tea. I'll definitely be returning.
Staff was friendly, food was acceptable.
Love the delicious, authentic Thai Street food, been going here since they opened!
Their larb was too spicy. However, the atmosphere is right, and I think their other menu offerings might be good.
UPDATE: used to be a regular but now they not only jacked up their prices, they automatically tip themselves 18%!! For what??? To bring the food you already paid for out??? Not sure what additional service theyโre providingโฆportions also need to be bigger. Plate always looks empty uno serving.
Good food. My goto spot in the area, left peppers in one time, great ever since. Very nice staff.
I am making a suggestion to write a written policy stating: if a customer not satisfied with the product it cannot be refunded or cannot be replace by another item rather itโs the company fault or not.
I have never heard of any restaurant that does not refund an item if a customer is unsatisfied. I will never purchase another item again.
The food was really good. However they charged me 18 percent gratuity. The service was not that good.
Food is good but careful when checking out. They asked if I wanted a receipt and when I said no they charged me 18% for a tip without asking. Only reason on knew was because it flashed on the screen.
Amazingly good food.
Reasonable prices.
Super friendly staff.
Try the beef pad see ew.
Not too bad but not the greatest. Had the Beef Pad See Ew and there was maybe 6 pieces of beef in it. Mostly noodles and veggies barely any egg. Wish the portions were better. Sauce was not really existent, couldn't really taste it. I also got the fried pork belly dish to try as well. Again, the portions were off. Barely any protein in it but at least it had a good amount of sauce. Overall would not recommend.

Lunch special, on business. Was served to table hot and quickly. Our meals were delicious, and not fancy. This is a storefront restaurant made for local businesses, spartan interior but is really well suited to the clientele. I would go here again if a quick lunch...not so much for a leisurely meal.
Very nice place to dine and take out
Awesome customer service
Fud portions for dinner were very small, lacking the main protein ingredient. Flavors were decent.
Good, and crazy fast.
The Drunken Noodle and Shrimp Pad Thai were both amazing. So fresh and flavorful. I am blown away, like legit almost started crying. Iโm so sad that I live so far away.
The best Thai in Livermore, with a menu featuring a lot of interesting options besides the classic dishes.
Friendly staff. Good food. Good service. Nothing not to like.
Amazing thai food prepped and made by a wonderful team. I've had Pad Kee Mao from places around the bay from SF, to San Jose, Santa Cruz, and even places out of state and by far Tin Thai has the best. Their other dishes are fantastic too, but Drunken noodles is my go to dish to judge a Thai restaurant. Support real food made by a humble business and team.
Good stuff. Exit Subway next door and Enter Real fresh foods. Thai food in Livermore is helping to bridge the flavor gap.
I had never had Thai food previously other than from Noodles & Co. This place is authentic! They prepared the food quickly and had it ready for pick up before the time they quoted which is fantastic. The flavors and veggies used were exceptional! Highly recommend and will be coming back again in the future.
Great food
Great service, very friendly staff!
Fantastic pad thai!
We have been here several times. Every time it is totally awesome. You can tell they use fresh ingredients and cook it with love.
Drunken chicken rocks!
So good! One of the greats!
Great Thai place. Like the spicy minced chicken basil.
Food selections are great. The only challenge is available parking. Try the curry noodle.
Had the drunken noodles. I kicked the spice level up with what appeared to be house pickled sliced Serrano chili peppers.
It was quite nice!
Jane is amazing, everything I've tried has been awesome
Good.
Best chicken yellow curry ever.
Love their crab fried rice.
Amazing and consistent, what more could you ask for?
This is a good, casual place to come for lunch. The spice level could be a tad spicier, but it's fine. The food is good, a tad on the Americanized side, but overall good. Lunch portion is good. Price is reasonable. Peak lunch hours could be tricky with parking at this complex. The ambiance is a bit eclectic, but fun; they play oldies music and has a burger joint kind of ambiance. Good place for lunch!
Really good food. Extremely friendly staff. Feels like family. Reasonably priced. Around lunch wait can be long, try to arrive around 11:30am.
I am not as aware of the subtleties of thai food. I need a lot of help understanding the food types and what I might like. The server here guided me to a dish with noodles that I simply loved.
Tasted great
Good food, service and price
Good food and service!
Great place for lunch!
Good an fresh taste. Perfect for lunch if you have just a short break.
The Gra Prow Kai Dao is to die for! We order it to go about every 2 weeks!
It's very good just wish they accepted Amex
The food is great, especially the yellow curry. Service is super nice too.
Good food. Lovely people. Worth the stop when traveling threw. Prices in range with most others in the Thai food business
Some of the food, especially the non-curries, is quite distinctive and well done. I'm not convinced by the newer dishes, such as the shiu mai and curry noodle below. The food is better than the counter-service experience would suggest, and I do really like the duck curry and the dry green peppercorn curry. Can be absurdly busy, go before 11:45 a.m.
Loved it. They bring the right amount of heat. Served efficiently during a busy lunch hour.
Didn't go there i know nothing about it lol
I eat at the subway next door. It looks pretty good from the outside though.
Best place in town
Excellent food and service. Comforting decor.
Donโt want a certain ingredient in your food? Too bad. Even if your deathly allergic to an ingredient in one of their dishes they will not take it out for you. They tell you to find another dish that doesnโt have that ingredient. Good too know the task of subtractracting a vegtable from a dish is too hard for their commercial chefs. Also, as someone whoโs been to Thailand several times, their tea is decent and the food is subpar.
Sooooo good
The food here is quite flavorful. As a vegetarian, I quite liked their Spicy Tofu Basil, and eggplant basil. Service is good but I'd recommend avoiding peak lunch times as the place gets really busy.
Amazing authentic Thai food every time we come here during lunch! May want to get here early before the lunch crowd due to limited parking and seating. Great service and food turnaround is quick and delicious!
Nice food, pretty prices
Encontrรฉ este lugar en Google maps y me pareciรณ interesante. Al llegar, la persona que nos atendiรณ fue bien amable, el lugar es muy limpio y ordenado, todo en su sitio. La comida estaba bien rica, todo en su punto. Los precios super cรณmodos, me atrevo a decir que lo recomiendo sin duda alguna.
Good food! Can be very busy during lunch.
This is a great weeknight place. Our family enjoys the pad see ew, panang chicken curry, and basil beef. Unfortunately we mostly eat out on weekends so we miss out on getting to eat here often.
Food was okay; the service, not so much.
Excellent Thai food that is fast and filling !
One of my favorite places to eat in Livermore! I have been going here for a long time! Everything on the menu is made with love and delicious! I could eat here every day!
Excellent place for lunch!
First time I tried Thai food and I loved it. Been there twice and nothing but compliments on the food.
Good plate of food.
03/29/2018 update!
Still the MOST consistent service and food I've experienced!! We continue to go here, and I'm quite particular about my food being the same every time. They've NEVER failed, and ANA (our server) remembers our preferences and makes it a TRULY trouble free visit every time! โค๏ธ
Always consistent food and service. Very accommodating about menu substitutions and additions.
Very tasty stuff๐. I've only been there a few times but have not been disappointed. Will be going much more often after the meal my colleagues had tonight.
Good food great service.
Good food and service.
This was a wonderful find. I got the chicken drunken noodles and was not disappointed. I personally enjoy my food extra spicy so I requested it with extra hot peppers. If you don't like spicy you may not like that dish. The proportions are very large so if you order appetizers you may be able to split a meal.
Great Thai food

Enjoyed the unusual lunch dishes. Well done, tasty and a little spicy. Small, compact Restaurant, crowded but service is quick.
Expensive but tasty
Great food, quick, reasonably priced
Can be crowded at lunch peak.
I like Tin Thai Kitchen. It is a safe choice for a work time lunch when you have to get back for a 1pm meeting. Since they changed their approach to having you order at the counter then sit and get served they have gotten even faster.
Take out orders take 15 minutes consistently, which I like for picking up dinner.
For me their noodle dishes are a favorite. Duck noodle is always good, and the drunken noodles chicken is a nice spicier option. Tom yum soup is very nice on a cold day.
Portions are not large, and the prices are reasonable, especially during lunch.
The major down side is parking. There is a very small lot shared by several restaurants and the next street often fills up during the lunch rush. I recommend getting there early.
