Great, authentic Thai food!

Diner Review №2

I bought my friends out for their first time trying Thai food and even as a Thai person myself it’s my first time to Coup de Thai and I’m so glad we made a good choice! The food was great, Nam, our server was incredibly friendly and had great suggestions. The restaurant itself had a nice atmosphere, not too loud or over stimulating, clean and well decorated. Definitely recommend!

Diner Review №3

Nam was our server and she was so kind and attentive! The cocktails and food were delicious. We can’t wait to come back.

Diner Review №4

My family and I had an underwhelming experience at Coup de Thai. The appetizers, including papaya salad and chicken skewers, were decent. The main courses, like basil chicken and Tom Yum soup, were solid, but the curry and noodle dishes needed improvement in quality and presentation. The inconsistent pricing for takeout and occasional inconsistencies during dine-in disappointed us, making it an average dining spot.

Diner Review №5

Thank you tully for the amazing service

Diner Review №6

I’ve gone to this place many, many times. I’ve been to a lot of Thai restaurants and this one stands BY FAR as the best. A little more pricey than some places, but totally reasonable for the food quality and quantity. The service is always great and the atmosphere is fantastic as well. I recommend this place to everyone in the drivable area. I live in SF and whenever I’m in the South Bay I make an effort to go here. I crave it when I’m away. 5 stars, best Thai restaurant ever

Diner Review №8

The portion size was disappointingly small for the price, and the overall quality was subpar. My pineapple fried rice contained pineapple that wasn't fresh And tasted weird.

Diner Review №9

Wonderful atmosphere food is absolutely delicious. Good prices. Great customer service. Definitely would recommend if you’re in downtown Los Gatos for a wonderful great meal!

Diner Review №10

Our server was Tully and she provided phenomenal service and to top everything off the food was delicious! Very comparable to the Thai food in San Francisco, which holds the closest flavors to Thailand. Definitely a gem in the South Bay. Can’t wait to come back and try Happy Hour!

Diner Review №11

Great ambiance, quality & tasty food and prompt service, nothing to complain about. We had the endless summer rolls, Tom yum kung soup, pad Kee mao and Thai iced tea. The summer rolls felt very fresh and the peanut sauce dipping it came with was very tasty. The soup had good amount of veggies and tofu making it a nice & healthy dish for this rainy weather. We requested for egg to be added into pad kee mao and they obliged for an additional $2. It was very good, we had ordered medium spicy but it was more spicy than that. Hence ordered a Thai iced tea to sip along and that made it a perfect balance with the spicy food. All of this came to $49.17 (with taxes) which is not bad at all for a quality restaurant in Los gatos downtown for 2 people's lunch. Will be coming back again later to try their chicken dishes.

Diner Review №12

Highly recommend this place always have a great time at coup de Thai food is excellent and the service is top class Tully always makes sure we are given the highest quality service !!

Diner Review №13

I’ve been a couple of times in this restaurant and it’s always been great. Food is amazing, every dish is unique and delicious. I celebrated a birthday and the staff helped me without problem or extra charge for a cake I brought (most places in the area do charge for this).

Diner Review №14

This has to be one of my favorite, go-to restaurants in Los Gatos. The food is always delicious and the service is friendly and attentive. I recently ordered the Tom Yum soup, Pad See You and Pad Grr Pao and they were all fantastic! When the manager, Rain, came to check on us she was very kind and thoughtful. Definitely check this place out if you haven’t had the chance yet!

Diner Review №15

Has gone down in quality, food was VERY salty, with little flavor. Used to be very good. Amazing atmosphere, beautiful restaurant.

Diner Review №16

We shared a selection of tapas and all were delicious. The portions were a little larger than we expected but we only took 1/2 of one home. The fresh rolls, ribs, skewers, calamari, and spinach wraps were all delicious. The service was attentive and timely even as they got busy.

Update: fantastic place but the food no longer has the spicy edge it used to. Some jerk sued because the food was too spicy. And it wasn't to begin with. They don't even make spicy now when I ask for it.

Diner Review №17

Surprisingly delicious and wonderfully served Thai dishes.

Diner Review №18

We have been going here occasionally for years so this not a knee jerk review. Sadly it has been steadily going downhill. The portions and recipes are lacking. Most recently we ordered “fresh” coconut juice. The coconut was brownish when it should be pure white and the juice tasted old and not good. We told the server and she insisted on bringing another one “ on the house “ . Same problem with the second one, which we conveyed. When we got the bill, we were still charged for it. I asked it be removed and the manager reluctantly removed the charge but never addressed the bad quality. Regarding the food, recipes, portion sizes and overall flavors are severely lacking. On top of that they charged 20% gratuity for a party of 5 which just became illegal as of July 1, 2024.. This practice, combined with food quality and prices are not acceptable. This was the last straw for us. Many restaurants seem to fall into this downward spiral. Raising prices while decreasing quality and portions…

Diner Review №24

I recently visited this gem of a Thai restaurant on a Sunday afternoon with a couple of good friends, and the experience was absolutely delightful. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and seated promptly. Tully, our server, was a standout! She was super attentive, friendly, and made sure our entire dining experience was flawless. She and her team brought out our food quickly, constantly checked in to make sure everything was to our liking, and even kept our water glasses full without us having to ask.

As for the food, it was nothing short of amazing. We started with the tofu Panang curry with brown rice, which had a perfect balance of spice and richness. The Pad Kee Mao with tofu was equally delicious, with fresh flavors and a perfect texture to the noodles. The highlight of the meal was the crab curry special—savory and packed with flavor, it was a unique dish that elevated the entire meal.

We paired our dishes with a variety of drinks, including the Anchan lemonade, mango iced tea, and classic Thai iced tea—all refreshing and delicious, complementing the food perfectly. To round out our meal, we shared the coconut delight for dessert, a creamy and satisfying end to an already perfect dining experience.

Overall, this was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. The combination of delicious food and Tully's exceptional service made it truly memorable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Thai cuisine with top-notch service!

Diner Review №25

I really enjoy getting to eat here, Tully is often my server and she’s absolutely wonderful, my grandparents often mention how much they love the service there and I just know they’re referring to her. The food is also amazing, everything is always so delicious!! :]

Diner Review №27

I had the veggie green curry with a side of Jasmine rice. The food was fresh and delicious. Strongly recommended. A bit pricey though. They can at least include a free side of rice.
The service was also perfect. The waitress was polite and friendly. We sat outside for lunch and the weather was nice. Great experience. We'll go back again.

Mango beef was crazy good

This is only for take out review:
Ordered online for a pickup order due at 6:45PM.
I arrived around 6:50 and waited outside for stuff to come to me (didn't enter into the restaurant as it is my first pickup at this place, not sure it is polite to enter into to disturb other customers, so I just wait quietly outside). Then a stuff come to me and I said I am waiting for my pickup order and gave my name. Then for 15 mins, all the stuff come and goes busy serving customer, no one talks to me any longer.
My biggest concern is, at least let me know: 1. order has been received and being prepared, 2. need to wait another 10 or 20 mins (which is fine by me as I understand sometimes busy hours can be). Then I have to come to the store directly (as I see other pickup customers there interacting with the stuff), and the stuff who I gave my name to didn't seem to be interested, just impatiently asks me to talk to her supervisor.

My family has been had lunch/dinner at this place for maybe 5~6 times, and every time the experience is very good, especially the stuff called Tylor (apology if spelling is incorrect), let us feel super welcomed and took good care of us on my daugther's B-day party during the dinner. Yesterday, it changed my view of this store and all the stuff that day seems all emotionless and and not so welcoming.

Diner Review №31

Delicious food, OK service, but the ugly part was adding a 20% service charge which is no longer legal, effective July 1, 2024. Please honor the law before this comes to a head. Needless to say, I added a $0.00 tip which was amazingly a line item on the check. I prefer to believe that it was an oversight which will quickly be rectified.

Diner Review №32

The restaurant has good service staff but the pricing of the food SERIOUSLY needs to be reevaluated. I ordered a salmon dish that was supposed to come with asparagus and sauce, but all I received was a filet with sauce clumsily placed on top, some spinach underneath that's soaked with fish juice, and a lemon that wasn't even wedged for me, it was a whole lemon on my plate with a corner cut out so I had to wedge it myself. The fish was not seasoned, poorly portioned, and was overpriced at $28 before tax and tip. The restaurant had many flies around so I spent half of my time eating shooing away the flies. I do not see myself coming back anytime soon, unfortunately.

Diner Review №33

Very unhappy with the food. As much as we love Thai cuisine, 3 out of 4 dishes that we ordered were less than acceptable.
Went there on Sunday evening.
All 3 meat dishes were completely dry and hardly edible. "Dragon balls" meatballs were actually inedible because of their totally stale rubbery condition. Not much Thai flavors in any of the dishes either.
Looked like all these dishes were cooked a few days prior to serving.

With so many good Thai restaurants around here it's easy to avoid this place.

Diner Review №34

Diner Review №35

Nice restaurant. Food was okay.

Diner Review №36

What an amazing restaurant! This is my second time here, and once again, it has exceeded my expectations. The food is fantastic, the service is impeccable, and the ambiance is truly delightful.

My friends and I ordered the Pad Thai, Mongo Mango, and Basil Lamb. There are no words to describe how delicious all three dishes were—they were absolutely outstanding. I also had a dessert whose name I can't recall, but it was top-notch as well.

Everything about this place makes me want to come back. Definitely looking forward to my next visit!

Diner Review №37

This was a very nice Thai restaurant with a good variety of dishes including classics and some less common options like egg tofu!

Diner Review №38

Awesome papaya salad.

Diner Review №39

High end Thai seems harder to find these days. Tasty food here, awesome short rib starter and delicious mango beef dish.

Diner Review №40

I was disappointed with the service and the food. We ordered some Thai tea that cost $7.00, but it had almost no cream or condensed milk. When we asked them to add some, they said they can’t . The food was not tasty, just unnecessarily spicy.

Diner Review №41

The portion sizes for all of the appetizers were bigger than I thought they'd be and we ended up over ordering because of so! The food was delicious though lacking a bit in veggies, but that could also totally be my fault for ordering 4 appetizers. There were so many things I wanted to try and to be totally fair they were all very tasty!

My favorite appetizer was the ribs! They were so tender and fell off the bone! The chicken satay and dragon balls also get honorable mentions!

The main we got was the duck and it was very tasty too! Though I feel like it could have come with a bit more veggies. The flavor of the duck was really good! There was the faint flavor of a smoky toasted marshmallow in the tamarind sauce that I really enjoyed.

Diner Review №42

Came for a casual Friday night dinner. It was warm outside and the tables had shade, so we decided to dine outside. Thought not sure we would dine outside next time--we were constantly swatting away flies.

We ordered the dragon balls, chicken sticks (ie satay), ribs and tom yum soup to start. As our main, we split the tamarind duck and had some jasmine rice on the start. The food was tasty, albeit on the salty side for me.

Prices weren't too bad considering the area. Though I'm not sure I would come again unless I was specifically in the area and craving Thai food.

Diner Review №43

Great Taste and quality

Diner Review №50

Interesting dish "mission impossible", worth trying!

Dragon ball is not spicy but tasty (if you're here for the lawsuit...)

Diner Review №51

Fancy place but food is not that good.

Diner Review №52

Diner Review №53

This place never fails to deliver. I've had small intimate meals as well as large 6+ people groups. The food is always fresh and piping hot too. The staff are friendly, listen and serve you promptly.

Diner Review №54

Ordered Thai iced tea and it was less than average and double the price. Tom ka soup was also average. Ordered Singapore noodles- it wS $32 with less portion and very average taste. Asked for hot sauce but the server never returned. Cant believe Singapore noodles for $32 that has portions so less and average taste. Strings @Santana Row is pricey but their atmosphere and food can beat them any day though theirs is also not the best. Banana Leaf @ Milpitas is better and cheaper I guess.
Would I go back? Nada

Diner Review №55

40 mins in and they have only brought a beer for my husband. We have two kids so you can imagine how hard it is to wait for this long for your food to come out. There are more people around us still waiting for their order to be taken. Have coming here 2 times (thinking the first one was because they were too busy but today they re not) not coming back.

Diner Review №56

Had dinner here 2 weeks ago which happened to coincide with their happy hour menu. Tried Chicken salad and beef pad Thai which was a large dish which is good to share.

Beef green curry was so good!

Diner Review №60

Coup de Thai in Los Gatos is a culinary treasure that never fails to impress. As a connoisseur of Thai cuisine, I can confidently say that this restaurant ranks among the very best in the Bay Area.

Whether you're indulging in classic favorites like Pad Thai or exploring more adventurous options, every bite is a symphony of taste that transports you to the bustling streets of Thailand. The balance of sweet, spicy, sour, and savory flavors is executed with precision, showcasing the culinary mastery of the chefs at Coup de Thai.

Service is consistently exceptional, with friendly staff who are eager to accommodate your needs and ensure your dining experience is nothing short of perfection.

Great food and friendly staff. A great date night.

Diner Review №64

The food was great! We had the papaya salad, fried calamari, lamb curry and pad Thai. This was the first time we got papaya salad with shrimp. The lamb was the best. The Belgian beer was one of the best we have had. The service was excellent. They kept the front door open and it was pretty cold inside. The food also got cold fast.

Diner Review №65

10/10 omg this place is amazing right now is my fav Thai restaurant.
I recommend Tom yum soup
Chicken pad Thai :).

Diner Review №66

Wow.. I have tried more than 20 Thai restaurants in the Bay Area and this is absolutely the best one. I had the Tom Yum soup and the chicken pad Thai. 10/10. And the service was even better.

Diner Review №67

Synthetic Thai tea. Below average food.

Diner Review №68

Food, Service was excellent but the staff was very rude. Felt racist. Get ready to be thrown out as soon as dinner is complete. They will keep coming to you to tell you that your time is Up and that you will need to leave. Never experienced it in a restaurant business.

Diner Review №69

Diner Review №70

Great atmosphere and swift service. The food was good, although everything was on the sweeter side unfortunately.

We ordered, Dragon Ballz, Papaya Pok Pok, Sesame Chicken, Siracha Noodles and Pineapple Fried Rice.

Diner Review №71

Diner Review №72

Just had dinner here for the first time. Not impressed. Based on the ratings and long wait to get in we thought for sure it would be wonderful. Minimal options on menu. Food was terrible and over cooked. Service was very slow and she was very forgetful. However, the atmosphere and the super clean/fancy bathrooms were impressive. Too bad this was a miss based on food and service. Not coming back.

Diner Review №73

Diner Review №74

Excellent option for Thai in Los Gatos. I come over the hill from Santa Cruz for this spot- it’s the closest good option! Papaya salad is a go to and the pad grr pow with chicken and extra veggies- both spicy! The protein quality on the chicken is great- not chewy or tough, this is key in a dish that’s mostly meat (pad grr pow). I typically sit outside in warmer months, and enjoy these two dishes! Still have my favorite Thai spots in Los Angeles and New York (same same and nourish, respectively) but now living in the area this is my new go to local spot!

Diner Review №75

Diner Review №76

For $50/person you'd think they can make my meal gluten free. It's Thai cuisine, you can make the entire menu gluten free if you wanted. In fact every other Thai restaurant I've been to can make Pad See Ew gluten free. Except this one.

Diner Review №77

Extremely nice food and services! The food is awesome with reasonable price. It’s the best pad Thai I’ve had! The service is also impeccable.

Diner Review №82

Diner Review №83

A friend recommended coming here for amazing Thai food and I am glad I payed heed to that. We made a reservation and got seated right away.

Server came to attend to us within a few mins and took our drinks order. We then looked at the menu and decided to get the lamb, salmon, chicken dragon balls, and a few more things to share. The food was delicious and especially loved how tender the lamb was.

The service was a bit slow. We got our drinks after waiting a very long time and the restaurant wasn't super busy either. Our server was superb though. She made the conversations fun and engaging while taking our order. The ambience and vibe was pretty good too- not too crowded or loud but very pleasant.
I would recommend this to our friends anyday

Diner Review №84

The highlight of our experience here was the server who was one of the best I’ve ever had. She was so accommodating, kept asking if we liked the food and if there was anything else she could do. The food was great too at a reasonable price. I would visit again.

Dragon Balls menu is very delicious:however, it is mild not spicy. Comparing to standard Thai hot&spicy food, Dragon Balls might disappoint you if you are coming here just to try Dragon balls menu. Other than that, everything else is so delicious and authentic here. You will enjoy every single menus you order from Coup De Thai.

If you come for dragon ball because of the lawsuit like I did, you are bound to be disappointed. But if you come for good food, you are in the right place.

Let me cut to the chase. Given the lawsuit alleges that this dish causes chemical burns, I was expecting hotter than usual spicy. Dragon ball is a disappointment to this extent. It is objectively mild by any standard. Yes, I am used to Sichuan food. But that is also why I was ready to taste something that is hotter than that. Other than this point, the dragon ball is quite tasty if you want some spice but cannot take too much heat.

As we only had a quick lunch, and I am not versed in Thai flavors. So, I will skip commenting on food. (The other dish we ordered was Thai BBQ pork with sticky rice. It is also well prepared, although personally I would like it better if meat is marinated more. Other than the dipping sauce for the BBQ, these dishes taste closer to milder, Southern Chinese than Southeast Asian food. The coconut ice cream they say they got from a shop on the street, on the other hand, has a unique texture that we like very much. We went to the shop afterward, but they do not sell that flavor.)

The restaurant has a welcoming air, elegant lighting, and is very stylishly decorated. (Food plating is also delicate.) Given this is downtown Los Gatos, there is amble free parking nearby. We arrived a little after lunch time and got seated quickly. The server is very attentive as you expect from a South Asian joint. Overall, Coup de Thai is a very pleasant place to eat.

Diner Review №117

Diner Review №118

Dragon balls are the best!

Diner Review №119

Yes!! We went to @CoupdeThai just to try her infamous Spicy Dragon balls ! Of course, the food here was delicious! The pad thai is easily one of my favorite dishes, the fry calamari, ribs, chicken satay on a stick, Tom Kha Gai Soup were all delicious. 🍍🥧Don’t forget the pineapple pie dessert, crunchy and savory. So good!

According to the New York Post, “A woman (neurologist) is suing @CoupdeThai restaurant and its employees for negligence and emotional distress, claiming that one of the eatery’s mega-spicy dishes [dragon balls] was “unfit for human consumption” and left her with health issues that lingered two years after she ate it.”

If you can’t stand the heat, don’t try to order any dishes with a kick. These dragon balls were NOT even spicy at all!

🤦🏻‍♀️Perhaps we should start putting warming labels and all mild hot sauce like sriracha and tabasco sauce?

Diner Review №120

I came because of a lawsuit about the dragon balls, but they were extremely not spicy. I was very disappointed. Tofu dish was a little bland and watery but the rest were good. Lamb chops were quite delicious.

Diner Review №121

Diner Review №122

The Dragon Balls were not that spicy. I came because someone filed a lawsuit saying they were too hot for human consumption. I have had much spicier foods. Food was good

Diner Review №123

Today I was doing my downtown LG walk Sesh, 95 degrees out, looking for a restaurant that had some kind of yummy cold healthy salad like plate. I stopped outside Coup de Thai and scanned the QR code the menu, and then a friendly face open the door and said, “can I help you with the menu?”
I described what I wanted, and Nemo said “come on in, we have something just like that”.
Yay!!!
I ordered the papaya Pok Pok.
Absolutely delicious, Green Papaya, shrimp, tomatoes, and peanuts topped with lime juice and chiles.
Epic, seriously, my mouth is watering. My boyfriend and I have been here before and had the chicken pad Thai and the pineapple fried rice.
I highly recommend this restaurant, it’s beautiful inside, nicely, air-conditioned, and Nemo, my server, was absolutely awesome!
Ty Nemo!

A bit slow service like took a while to get water but no issues. Great down town Los Gatos atmosphere. Delicious food. Flavorful and good heat without the burn.
Interesting cocktails especially the Lavender bubble and Gin with Thai basil.

Diner Review №129

Delicious thai food though it tends to be a bit spicy.

Diner Review №130

Fancy Thai food with aesthetic cocktails. This is a quaint little date spot in downtown Los Gatos that also has a pet-friendly patio. All the dishes we tried had tons of flavor and I'm pretty sure there wasn't one where we didn't say, "mmm!"

Drinks:
* Lavender Bubble
* Smoky Pineapple
* Beauty & The Beast
* Forbidden Berry

Entrees:
* Legendary Calamari
* Pad See U w/ Beef
* Tamarind Duck
* Tom Yum Kung Soup
* Baby Short Ribs
* The Dungeness Crab Fried Rice

Dessert:
* Pineapple Puff

This Thai restaurant in Los Gatos is impressive. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating options, and their staff is friendly and attentive. The food is delicious, and here are some of the dishes we ordered:

-Pad Thai (vegetarian)
-Chicks on a stick
-Garlic Noodles (they made a customization to accommodate everyone's preferences, although we expected a stronger garlic flavor)
-Endless Summer Rolls (with tofu)
-Fresh Coconut Juice (I would personally give it a 5-star rating just for the refreshing and cold coconut juice!)
-Thai iced tea with oat milk

While the indoor seating area was decent, the only downside for me was the lack of air conditioning. Los Gatos was quite hot that day, with temperatures reaching +84 degrees. It would have been much more comfortable to dine in a cooler environment.

Diner Review №134

Love this place! Authentic Thai food. Papaya salad and pad kee mao are my favorite :)

Diner Review №135

The food is delicious. They do have happy hour and can take $1 off of each dish. The endless summer roll and veggie pastry are very tasty. This restaurant is a bit pricy. Waitress is collecting plates when you just finished eating. This is a bit annoying. Great location.

Incredible! The basil lamb was delicious

Great drinks! Happy hour 4-6 fantastic.

Diner Review №141

A welcoming place where the tone and menu are on par with the name of the restaurant (revolutionary). We found the food to be excellent and the service very friendly. Prices are reasonable. I would recommend eating outside as the restaurant features a very pleasant outdoor dining strip.

Diner Review №142

Absolutely loved the food and ambience and the friendly staff,and clean restaurant and restrooms. Eating out is my favorite thing, and learned that the management that takes care of cleanliness in restrooms, is the only one that I can trust for hygiene in the kitchen too!!
The food is great, and exactly how I asked for spices. It's a small place but it definitely is worth going back to enjoy lunch or dinner with family or for a date with special someone.

This is some of the best thai food I have ever had. I went with my family and got chicken satay as an appetizer and it was sooo good- the chicken was perfectly tender and the satay was delicious. We got sesame chicken, pad thai, and white lotus curry and they were all amazing. The sesame chicken was also gluten free which is great, and so are the majority of the dishes at this restaurant. The curry was a bit bland but was great with the rice. I would highly recommend this place for gluten free thai food!

Diner Review №146

Diner Review №147

So, so good. Unique Thai options that other spots wish they had.

Quality service and food prep time on the slower side.

Lunch specials unavailable during weekday holidays.

Diner Review №148

Diner Review №149

Horrible food! Every dish had a weird fishy taste and poorly made. The chicken satay was super dry and had no salt. The Pad Thai had no crunch and was soggy. The rice was completely bland with boiled chicken pieces added and no flavoring or sauce. Bad service too, the only time the server came was once in the beginning to get the appetizers order. After that no one showed up. Our drinks were sitting at the bar for like 10 mins before anyone even came to give it to us. And this when the whole restaurant was empty! We literally had to call someone after an hour to just take our entrees order. Go to Golden triangle or Thai spice, you won’t be disappointed with the food or the service. Cannot believe this place has 4 stars. Worst Thai food in the Bay Area, Never going back ever!

The food was very good, but not quite 5-star worthy. The staff was super friendly and fun.

Diner Review №156

This is by far some of the best, if not THE BEST pad Thai I have ever had. I ordered the steak, and it was not only seasoned to perfection, but was also cooked absolutely beautifully! The service was great, and the atmosphere was very mild, perfect for a calm night out. We will definitely be coming here again, and telling our friends and family too!

It’s good to come in happy hours!

I picked an order up for someone else. The food looked really good but I hope you're not in too much of a hurry. I waited for over a half an hour from the time the food was ordered until I got it! Crazy slow! Enough for me not to feel like going back to see how good the food actually is. There's, I don't know, only about a thousand other places like this in the area.

Excellent food here. Really authentic and good flavors.
The downside: They are cheap with rice. They charge extra and it’s a small portion. Why skimp on the rice?

Diner Review №170

Diner Review №175

The food is absolutely delicious. (I forgot to take the picture of the yellow curry and koor Kling and mango sticky rice) the place is clean and so fancy but their menus are in decent prices. I will definitely come back here again.

Average food and very expensive.
Default tip option is 18.5% of the after-tax (plus a “wellness tax”) cost so be careful.

The decor really draws you in, but the food keeps you there. We got the thai samosas, red curry with chicken, green curry with pork, white rice and brown rice, and pandan tapioca. We loved all of it. The curries are unlike what we've had at other Thai restaurants like it's a special recipe passed down from generations. We also had dragonfruit lemonade, which was unique but not amazing, and thai tea. We enjoyed the food over everything else. The portions are fairly large. The curries are entrees and the rice are sides. It is a few dollars pricier than other Thai restaurants. (Curry itself with chicken or pork is about $16 and rice was $3). Overall, if you don't mind spending a few extra dollars, I recommend Coup de Thai.

Nice ambiance and awesome food. Great vegetarian options

Diner Review №193

My food ( lamp baisl) was very salty and I informed our waiter and he took my food away and he did not even say sorry....after we were waiting for my food to come and while I was trying my husband's food, the waiter came with the bill 😡 we were hungry and they messed up with our couple night out without any true apology.

very friendly staff. amazing food

Diner Review №195

Plus:
*Outdoor seating
*Hand sanitizer at each table
*Some of the best calamari I've ever had

Minus:
*Outdoor seating closer than 6ft apart
*Let a person bring this HUGE hairy wolf-like dog to the 2-person table. When this dog turned around, he brushed against me. He was too big for the small space. They shld have put them at a 4-top. We were starting to wrap up but this pushed us out. So inconsiderate.
*Coconut chicken w/vermicelli was disgusting. Processed meat turned the noodles pink- not appetizing to me. The ground chicken was cooked and swimming in coconut oil. I thought there would be coconut milk involved but no.

Service was very poor. I had to wait for 30 minutes after others on my table got their food.
Food tasted great however their service probably pushes me in the direction of not going there again.

Diner Review №198

2 hours wait after ordering. It is not acceptable

Diner Review №199

The worst place to order. App says order is ready to pick up.
But waiting from last 45 mins and it's not ready yet.

Diner Review №200

Lovely Thai restaurant. The place looks gorgeous and the food was to die for. Tried the pad thai, the pad kee mou, fried rice and the eggplant curry. Starters were the spring rolls and the samosa. Every single dish was tasty!!

Highly recommend and would definitely go again
