Strip-mall spot serving curry & noodle dishes in intimate digs with a wide, wood-planked floor.
Tried the Pad Thai noodles and did not like it at all. Had this peculiar smell which wasn’t good and when asked about it they mentioned it was the standard Thai curry paste. Had Chicken satay and Veggie potstickers and were decent. We had to leave the Pad Thai after one bite as we couldn’t even take the smell of it.
Great Thai food, great prices, the host is super friendly and we got seated right away. I was blown away with the fried tofu appetizer. The crisps on it was outstanding. I also got 2 brown rice, tofu yellow curry and Shrimp pad thai all of it was excellent. I'm definitely coming back here I highly recommend it.
Very nice place for good Thai food.
Ambiance is good with few decors, especially a lady figure at the entrance in traditional wear, dim lighting and laps for each table. Place looked clean.
We have a pleasant evening at this palace with tasty food for dinner.
They welcomed us with smile, served and send-off with a smile.
This was my first time and because I was craving Thai food I thought of Doordash from this place. I ordered three roti Prata, Basil fried rice with beef, pad thousi with beef and chicken satay. To my surprise the three roti Prata were three pieces and I was very disappointed. But what was more disappointing was that the curry was very salty. The basil fried rice didn't have beef, literally one has to search in that pile of rice. I probably may not try them again.
Good deal for lunch.
Good service. Liked it

I can taste original Thai food from this place especially "Tum Kha Chicken" 🌶️🥥 👏🏻👏🏻
Worst service forever! Don’t come! Worst place in the world! We have NO water NO food, NO service at all for more than ONE hour after getting sit!! Horrible experience!!
The food is generally good, but they seem to completely ignore the mild spice request. I've had it a few times and it is all over the board.
Food was good. But it was too hot and their air-conditioners were not effective
Ingredients listed on menu are NOT accurate... salade rolls have cucumber even though it's not listed on menu. I'm allergic to cucumber
One of the best Thai places in Fremont. Food is always tasty and flavor is always consistent. We have been either getting a take out or dining in for over 5 years. Never once were disappointed. Owners are always friendly.
The woman who served us was kind of rude . The food was average
Best food I’ve ever had, my boyfriend is really picky but he loved the red curry!
Seriously, some of the best Thai food I've had!!! Truly excellent!
Apparently, they were closed on this Thursday! Doors wide open with vehicles pulling up. No sign, nothing saying a special event was planned. What a wasted attempt at what is suppose to be good Thai food.
Best Thai food in Fremont, great portion sizes and good value for the money. The owners are so nice and the restaurant is very clean.
Nice place. Is a little spicier than other Thai places in the area (their mild is more like other places’ medium). We’ve done both dine in and take out and it’s good every time.
I love the food , they gave a scale of spiciness. I love tha atmosphere it was filled with decor. They were also really kind. I would really recommend this place
Ordered dinner for our anniversary - our order said it would be ready at 9.11PM, my husband had to wait almost an hour to get the food ! Very disappointed we wasted our evening by choosing this place for our special day ! Sad to see it’s so easy to make customers wait for so long even for carry out. Will not be giving them our business again !
Not a pleasant experience at all. It took ages for food to arrive after placing order and when it did finally arrive, what a disappointment it was! Tofu tasted so bad and the chicken fried rice was tasteless. First and last visit for us!
BEST Thai hands down period
waited 45mins for fried rice
Very poor set up to pick up food. They need to have the register up front not in the back and then you have to fight to get to the front cause it's always crowded and aeem to be doin a banquet.nwvwr ate there just picked up orders
We recently dined in. They were busy and there was only one person waiting tables. Service was late and minimal in courtesy. Food was super bland and tasteless. You could see stacks of the mae ploy brand pastes near the kitchen. If that's what they are using to make their curry I can cook that at home. The roti prata was also the frozen kind you get in most Indian grocery stores.thats not what we pay for when we go out to eat "authentic Thai food" very disappointing and will never go there again
Amazing authentic Thai food. The basil fried rice, pineapple fried rice, mango salad and veg spring rolls were so delicious. The freshness and flavor of the fried rice dishes were soooo good. Service was also very good and took all our food preferences into consideration. Overall we had a very good experience. We would highly recommend this place.
Shockingly empty on an otherwise busy Friday night, so we were attended to and served pretty quickly. The food was amazing to say the least. Chicken satay was 10/10 as well as Tom yum soup which was served in a classic open pan with a flame underneath. Massaman curry was pretty decent, not the best I have had but the tofu pra king and pad Thai were just outstanding. The waiter was very courteous and took great care of us. The restaurant soon filled up with people and the wait increased between 7.45 and 8.30 pm.
Best food I had in a long time.
Big dishes, good prices and the food is very authentic.
Great Thai food, great prices, the host is super friendly and we got seated right away. I was blown away with the fried tofu appetizer. The crisps on it was outstanding. I also got 2 brown rice, tofu yellow curry and Shrimp pad thai all of it was excellent. I'm definitely coming back here I highly recommend it.
My go to place for yellow curry
Been eating here and doing takeout for years. We r vegetarian, so love the fact that they have tons of vegetarian options.
Fabulous Tom kha soup! Must try.
~$161, tax and tip included for 6 adults and 1 kid, very reasonably priced. Simple and delicious. Love the beef noddle soup and black pepper garlic seafood.
Loved the vegetarian options and there are plenty of them. I tried the roti with curry, red curry with tofu and pad Kee mao. They were all great! The portions are pretty good and these were more than sufficient for two. Roti was crispy, red curry and the noodles were very flavourful with a good amount of veggies.
I ordered the spicy shrimp noodle and IT WAS SOOOO GOOD. I love spicy food and it was veryyyy spicy and perfect!
Food tastes good, besides it’s salty, probably will ask less salty when order next time. Fish dish not recommended
I ordered it to go, spent $50, chose mild (the least spicy option), and one bite and my mouth is on fire. I tried to power through, but it's so hot I can't even eat it, and it's not just me I asked three other people to try it as well. It looks like it would be amazing so I'm really bummed. Of course I was the last customer of the night so I couldn't bring it back and have them remake it. If they do fix it, I'll edit this review accordingly. Fingers crossed.
Ate here after many years & had a vegetarian green curry with tofu & cashew nut vegetarian stir fry at lunch. The food was very good, service was fast & good, & the ambiance was nice. In 2014, used a Groupon for dinner for 4 people. The service was fast, they took our reservation on the phone, & the food was very good. Like other Thai restaurants in the area, this place is vegetarian friendly. We had roti, a Thai iced tea, small Tom Yum, Black Pepper & Garlic Tofu, Panang Curry Tofu, & 2 brown rice. We finished it all with a little rice left over. I thought all the food was great. This place is now at the top of my Thai food list for the area!
Absolutely my favorite Thai food restaurant! Never had a dish we didn't like. Must haves are the Basil fried Rice, Basil Eggplant, Tom Yum Soup, Pad Thai and of course Mango Sticky Rice for dessert! They are very accommodating when it comes to your level of spicy tolerance. You can always go no spice and add chili sauce at the table.
I will say this spot is popular and can get extremely busy, so if you plan to go for dinner or on the weekend. Plan to take your time and not be in a rush. They get a lot of to go orders while serving in-house guests so it can take time to get all your food. However, it's always worth the wait. Super friendly owners, fresh, quality ingredients and extensive options on the menu!
Smells like cigarette smoke. Only waiter is waiting tables while taking phone orders. Took so long, I cancelled my order and left.
Great food at reasonable price! Fast service and delicious food. Never disappoints. beautiful ambience! Perfect cozy date night restaurant
Had the worst experience, Had ordered food online and specifically mentioned that I am allergic to fish sauce and oyster sauce and to keep everything vegetarian , and I received the ingredients with Beef, Wished they had taken a little more care while catering to the order
Super lousy service!! Wouldn’t go again.
Really good Pad Thai! Pad Kee Mao was okay.
Have been going to this place forever and love their food. Best thai food in the area.
Only negative is the service is little slow now so I prefer to do a take out these days.
The food is amazing!!!
The food is really good. Red curry and yellow curry is a must try. Basil fried rice has an appropriate quantity and spice to it.
Great food. But they do charge 18% in the bill automatically, if you have 5 or more in the party. Small place, dinning hall is clean. Had noodle dishes, Curry, satay, Tom Yum soup. Good quality food.
Food served was good.Not spicy ...
Loved the Tom yum soup and the fresh salad spring rolls.
The pad Thai was decent but not that great for me. I would like more vegetables in it. Very pretty ambience at the place.
Bit pricey but a 👍 foods for other things trying to be better
Food was great. Small portions though. The place was really busy with 1 server/cashier. Needs to hire more employees.
Tom Kha Gai soup and Pad Thai were delicious--looking forward to ordering from here again to try their other dishes!
Good food and ambience
Ordered pad Thai, drunken noodles and basil fried rice, all with chicken and medium spicy.
Tasted great and fresh, good quantity. Will comeback!
Best Thai restaurant around.... especially try the Roti. Mmmm
Little gem. Great Thai food 👌
This is my favorite Thai Restaurant the food is always perfect its an adorable Lil place that's cozy and cute to dine in or take out .
Nice restaurant. Service was quick and food was good here.
Server turned is away at 9pm because he didn't feel like working late
Went on a Wednesday night. Got a table immediately.
They have a large selection of food.
Their vegetarian options was also amazing. The food was very tasty and correctly spicy.
The portion sizes were good and the place was affordable.
Keep coming back for sticky rice with mango and cashew stir friend chicken or beef. Staff is friendly, place is cozy
Buena comida 🍤🍚🍜🍝
One of the best Thai food in Fremont, in my opinion. I love the papaya salad here. I love the Tom yum soup. All the curries have been delicious. This is my go to Thai place in Fremont
This is my go to Thai place. The food is so good.
One of the best Thai food around Fremont! Everything is good! The service is fantastic! They are offering take-out only but that's just fine with me. The food is so good that I probably don't want the public to see me stuffing my face! 🤣
Food is consistently good. I call our orders in and they are always polite and cheerful!
Good food! Great taste.
But worst experience with online order. Placed an online order for pickup. After reaching the restaurant the guy took the printout and gave to chef for preparation, we thought it’s just for us. But it’s not real case. People who placed online order and came for pickup had same experience while talking with them.
If you’re placing online order be mindful!
This place is a bomb that every Thai food lover should try! Great prices, tasty food, very warm and lovely service and beautiful restaurant design!! If I could I would give them 10 stars!
Nice food with great ambience
Food is nice but service is v slow, have to ask for condiments and even where to be served on a slow day too
Good food, quick service, but then they were not busy when I got there.
I tried two of the dishes and both were pretty good,
There are several comments about their nice ambience however I found it very mediocre generic Asian restaurant style. However those things don't bother me much I am more concerned about the quality of food and that was good.
I don’t really like to write bad reviews but this is the worst Thai food I’ve had in the Bay Area the pad kee mao is mainly oily mushy soggy flat noodle with little pieces of chicken I’m sure I can stir fry this at better at home. There is no heat in the wok at all. If you have been in Thailand food court food is 100x better than this
This was my first time and because I was craving Thai food I thought of Doordash from this place. I ordered three roti Prata, Basil fried rice with beef, pad thousi with beef and chicken satay.

The basil fried rice didn't have beef, literally one has to search in that pile of rice. I probably may not try them again.
I usually don’t like to give bad reviews but this time I would like to warn people who is going to this restaurant based on rating.
The restaurant itself is very badly maintained and full of smell.
Coming to food : green curry is very salty. and Pad Thai smells creepy.
I tried to convey the message to Staff and he is terrible in acknowledging the feedback as well !
Probably one of the best thai restaurant in Fremont/Newark area. Their salad and soup is next level.
Ordered delivery for dinner and their Prawns Pad Thai were generously packed with plenty of plump prawns. Crispy calamari had a chilli mix seasoning sprinkled on top of the crispy batter, goes well with the sauce. All appetizer boxes had thoughtful vents for items to stay crispy.
Great food! It was really tasty with a good atmosphere and fast service.
I always order from here and love the flavors of almost everything I ordered.
Good tasty food at fair prices.
Great Thai food for reasonable prices. I've been coming here for months now and I've loved it every time. 1 must get dish is definitely the panang curry. The curry itself is nice and creamy and is full of flavour.
This restaurant is such a charm! Their food is not too salty or too sugary like other Thai places I had in the Bay Area. Their Thai food is perfect. They also have unique dishes like fried banana with ice cream. They had thai samosas too. The only cons about this place is that the hot sauce is a little too salty and the restaurant is a small place, but this restaurant is mostly perfect. Great curries and great pad thai.
Everything was awesome.
Food was exceptionally mediocre and service was quite bad, extremely long wait time. Didn’t even bring water, ordering was a nightmare. Severely understaffed. Beautiful joint though
Nice food
Wonderful food and service! I like it really spicy and they were able to give me the heat I was looking for.
If you love Thai cuisine! This is the place to go!
Though it’s a small restaurant but it serves amazingly tasty food. Since I am a vegetarian, the staff was ready to accommodate a little on the dish to keep it vegetarian, for which I am thankful to them.
The food was served in approx 15 mins, which is really good.
The food was ordered online but payment done on the counter.

Definitely recommended!
It was yummy, especially the calamari. Spring roll.
Good food!
I loved it. I grew up eating Thai food and this is the best I've found in the bay area so far. The Lao style papaya salad was great and so was the yellow curry.
We had crab fried rice, cashew chicken, and cucumber salad. Everything was delicious! First time eating here and we will definitely be going back!
Didn’t like the curry here
Average food. Not comparable to sala Thai. Open till 10
Decent food, not so great ambience. But small and crowded. Is prefer a quieter place or at least with better ambience.
Food was delicious and somehow yelp ratings were unrated. We had parata, veggie wraps, basil fried rice and pad ke mao and everything tasted so yummy.. Will surely come again 👍👍
Service and hospitality was also good 👍
Great food. They are very considerate of food allergies.
Love Thai food! Me gusta mucho la comida de este restaurante, é gostosa!
Really good Thai food. Spicy is really really spicy but the taste was pretty good. Staff is good. Service is quick.
Great Thai food restaurant
Food was good but dining room looked like a warehouse. Get rid of the boxes and make it look nice and then I'll be back
I just placed order through DoorDash. It didn’t take time too long to get the food. My order was Papaya salad (Laos) and sweet mango sticky rice. Papaya salad was tasty, it’s quite authentic. Mango sticky rice was good and it wasn’t too sweet which was I like. I’ll order it again.
We order from here at least once a month sometimes more often .This is My Favorite Thai Restaurant and we have some other good ones nearby but this one hands down is THE BEST
泰国风味
My favorite Thai restaurant!
You need to ask for very spicy food, but you will get it!
Very disappointed since I ordered two types of samosas (thai samosas and another), one costing more than the other, and received the same samosas for both orders. Order took longer to deliver as well. Food didn't taste great as well, wished it had been better!
Great service and satisfying foods!
This place offers amazing food with large portions for the $$. I recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for delicious Thai offerings at a fair price.
Consistently delicious Thai. Would consider it my go-to Thai in Newark—pre and during the pandemic. Would recommend Cashew Chicken, Panang Curry, Papaya Salad, Pad Thai.
Food quality and quantity is amazing! Definitely recommend this place.
Great service and food
Very good,and fast , the quality flavor and presentation were awesome, and price really fair💝
Delicious and friendly service.
Best Thai food in Newark
We enjoyed the dishes we tried. Most of what we ordered were normally spicy dishes as labeled but asked for mild since my wife doesn't like it spicy. The dishes came out good with good flavors and good portions. We got some papaya salad, pad thai, pumpkin curry beef and panang prawns. All of thise dishes were good!
Everything was delicious!
Food is delicious
