Full Service Dining Restaurant
We tried Thai Villa Nipomo for the first time the other night, and wow, what a treat! Every dish was a flavor-packed adventure with amazing aromas and beautiful presentation. The owner was super friendly and gave us awesome recommendations for next time.
We kicked things off with the Tom Kha soup, which was a deliciously tangy and creamy start. Then came the Thai Green Curry with rice and the Pad Kee Mao with ramen noodles—both were out of this world! We wrapped up with Honey Toast, which was a sweet and dreamy finale. And don’t forget the Thai Tea; it’s the perfect sweet sip between bites!
We’ll definitely be back for more fun and fantastic food!
good tasted awesome and customized to taste. Server “Caesar” was very pleasant to talk to and attentive to our needs. Restaurant was closing but he accommodated my party of four. Pleasant atmosphere and ample parking. Will certainly recommend it, as the food was also customized to our taste and very delicious!!
🎊Super flavourful we had 6 dishes all were great. 🔸️Recommend the BBQ duck for carnivores and the 🔸️pumpkin squash coconut curry with mock duck for us vegans. This is the only place that makes flavourful Jasmine rice.
🐾There are few pet friendly patio places in Nipomo.
🚗Less than a mile from fwy, so if traveling easy to get to.
📣I want to give a thank you to them because it was our 7th anniversary, and only take-out was open. However, they seated us and our family w🐾. That was very special to us and earns lifelong patrons.
Best Thai food in the area! Absolutely love this place! So fresh and tasty! We ordered soup, noodles and an app, everything was delicious. We also ordered two desserts, and both were absolutely delicious! The new honey toast with ice cream is something I’ll be going back often for! So so good! The owner Jay, is super cool and the absolute best Thai chef! Love this place!
Courteous waiter, quick service, fresh authentic mouthwatering food!! Will not leave you feeling sick to your stomach. We got the Bau Buns, Tom Kah, Kow Soi and the Garlic Rice!! We went in right at 4 as they open and it was amazingggg. He refilled our drinks perfectly :) The food is BOMB. We wish there was one at home! we went in our beach clothes and they were very welcoming:) 10/10 would recommend!! Great leftover containers too!
Tried to place a to go order and was told I could not pay with a credit card, cash only. I find that ridiculous!!!
Delicious food,in the style of Royal Thai, less spicy , more creamy than the common folk eat.
Absolutely the best Thai food I've ever had. Amazing 💯💯💯

The papaya salad and pad krapow with minced pork were fantastic.

I have to say I will never come here again. When my family and I arrived the restaurant was empty so we were the first ones there. When we were seated we weren't asked if we wanted anything to drink as to which we were waiting on two other people. We had to wave down the server, which I assume is the owner for water and we then ordered an appetizer. When the other two family members came we were of course were given more time to decide. The server came back after we looked over the menu and our order was placed.
There was white sediment in my water, one of my family members wanted sauce because her noodles were dry. She was told to grab some from one of our plates which I was floored because that's something you don't tell your guests. When we left there was no fond farewell or anyone in sure as we left. My family was literally saying thank you to air. Nobody came out and it was awkward silence. Horrible experience and it wasn't even busy whatsoever for this bad service. Every time we needed something, we had to wave the server down,plus she was on her phone out in the open on a table in the distance. If I could give 1 Star I would.
Never Again.
No lunch special expensive,you find better elsewhere

Food was super delicious and the price was really fair I ordered pad Thai and pad basilboth dishes was worth it to wait. Love this place
I love this Thai restaurant! Best food in Nipomo that I found so far, but then again, I moved here from LA, and where you can find great food anywhere! I do recommend this place if you like Thai food or vegetarian dishes!
What a great meal! It's a little expensive, but the food and service were terrific. Trust whatever dish the server recommends - it will be delightful.
Love this restaurant
Food was good but the sprite I ordered did not taste like sprite but tasted like sparkling water. Will order a different soda next time.
Muy buen ambiente, atención esmerada, gran sabor
Great restaurant with Authentic Thai food!! Well prepared and served hot. If you're in the area, go for it. Try the various Red curries they have.
Order was wrong, asked for red curry, got yellow. VERY EXPENSIVE for lunch.
Food was very good and staff was very attentive and friendly.

We enjoyed a fantastic, authentic Thai meal. The green curry was the best I've had. The portions are large and the food is fresh! 2 of us got the Bau Buns and 1 order of green curry. It was plenty to share and had a container to take home. The server was very pleasant. It does get busy on a Saturday night so be prepared :-) A lot of takeout orders kept the chefs hopping!
Service took a while to come to us and when we ordered something that was available, but on the menu, she laughed and said it wasn’t available 🤷♂️ I ordered the tofu green curry which came out white and no option to choose level of spicy/heat. It was very delicious and did taste like what I am used to, it just through me off. The mango sticky rice was amazing and a must try. Bathrooms aren’t great. Overall nice experience but probably wouldn’t be in my top five choices to go.
great food and good prices
Everything were too bland… so disappointing
Delicious variety of vegetarian dishes. Great service and atmosphere, but a bit pricey. I had the avocado curry special with tofu. My daughter had the gai kua with tofu. Our friend got the yellow curry with chicken. We got sides of brown rice and white rice and a fried tofu appetizer to share.
Very disappointed with today's meal. Yellow curry was like water. Too expensive for what we ordered. Good experience in the past. Not so sure about a return meal. Good luck when you order.
not bad
Not actually Thai food, but an incredible simulation, as is most Thai food in this region. Thai food for white folk.
Bbq duck is on point
We had my birthday dinner here. I've eaten lunch here many times and always liked the food and staff. Two of us had Pad Thai and I had brown curry. We loved the soup, the second one on the menu. Made with coconut milk and galangal spice that was good as always. My granddaughter is kinda fussy about food, especially something she perceives as "foreign". She told her mom today that she loves Thai food.
First time here not bad enjoyed the outdoor seating the food was really good I would go there again
Excellent food, as always.
I have been there a few times on business lunch meetings. Consistently good for both service and food.
Amazing food and ambiance. Kevin was one of the kindest waiters I've ever had!

Nice place fir lunch
This is the best Thai food around in my opinion. The owner and the staff are very friendly.
I think they double tip charge or my bowl of rice cost over 10 dollars
Stopped on the LA-SF drive and just can't eat any more fast food. Very pleasantly surprised! Lots of veggies and vegan options as well as good meat and seafood available. Definitely worth the stop if you are looking for a good meal on the road.
We had stir fried vegetables with chicken and one with pork. Very nicely done, with fresh vegetables and the chicken and pork was tender and cooked properly. Very mild spices, my wife asked for the spice tray (I'm a lightweight with spices, so the food was just perfect for me). The place is very clean and presents well. Service was outstanding. Prices reasonable, especially for this quality of setting. I had a Thai beer in glass, nicely chilled.
I had the absolute best "chicken pad thai" here tonight. It was a to go order but the service was excellent! Thank you!
Love this place and I've reviewed before with a stellar rating. However went today at opening time, 11:00. Store hours dictated that they should be open but doors were locked and not a soul around. Of your going to run a restaurant you need to be dependable. After discovering my local options I'm not sure they'll get a second chance visit from me.
Good food and people. But a little to high on price.
Tasty food and nice staff. The fresh spring rolls are full of fresh vegetables.
I can never get through on the phone. It’s always busy
Great service and food
Took my mother to lunch here as she constantly craves Thai food. They did not disappoint. We were the only people in the entire restaurant..the place was immaculate and very welcoming. The waiter was very friendly and informative. Ordered lunch and my mother got the jasmine tea. Very fancy setup..lunch was served within 10 minutes and came out piping hot and so fresh. The garlic pepper dish was next level tasty with huge chunks of roasted garlic. Everything was excellent. The portions are huge so keep that in mind when ordering and marginally hungry. Could have easily split a dish. I will return for more menu offerings. So happy to have such a great Thai restaurant just a couple of miles from our house. Keep up the good work. You blew my mind.
Food service has always been slow in-house, but not unacceptable when food is freshly made. However, we are giving up trying to get takeout. It takes literally a half hour to get through by phone, and then you are put on hold for longer than 15 minutes. This is the third and last time I waste my time. They should better accommodate for weekend evenings with more staff. Upon pickup, the restaurant usually has only 1-2 active tables, so it seems unreasonable to have such bad phone service. Sad to say, but I give up.
I like to support local business. But the quality of the food has diminished. I hope they can get back on track. I the meantime we'll be going elsewhere.
Horrible 2 hour wait for curdled chunky over sweet green curry, I wouldn't even call it curry! Part of our family ate "a/hour's apart from each other at the same table. Worst part is, the management blamed the new young waitress for the food issues in front of everybody!! Ha! When the waitress was the only one doing her job correctly! 2 hours of wait time 1 glass of wine that they were sold out of every wine other the the most expensive one on the menu... all in all 2 hours no food an a $35 dollar tab for 2 cheap glasses also shorted wine in the glass!
Food was very tasty but not nearly as spicy as most Thai food I've had. There also was no option given to order it spicier.
Excellent food, excellent service.
Delicious food, great service and help with menu items, friendly staff and other diners. Looking forward to returning.
We absolutely love Thai! And this place did not disappoint!!! The staff was amazing!! And the young man who was our server and the only server handled a full house so clam! We will be back!!!! We had (disregard my spelling) thom kai, pad thai, veggies, garlic beef... All great!!!
Living in Thailand I must say this is the worst Thai food I have ever had. Grapow was nothing like it should be...all peppers..penang curry was water, and pineapple rice had more vegetables than rice. 3 entrees and appetizer and we had to go order pizza across the street after we left so hungry...
Great food and service
So today was the 3rd time I gave Thai villa a try and still disappointed. Our order of fresh rolls again came w no noodles or tofu, it was all lettuce and a few strands of carrot & cucumber and a tiny amount of dipping sauce. $20 for 2 ice teas and and appetizer😞👎
Always a great meal
What a nice place
Upscale find with flavorful and creative Thai dishes. Will be back again!
Excellent curry plus other dishes.
Excellent Thai food! We had the pad-Thai and Pad-see-u and a soup. Everything was delicious
They have the best and freshest ingredients. The portions are large and the quality is excellent. You can't go wrong with any of their dishes.
Even if you don’t love Thai food, you will love the food here. Their ingredients are fresh, really good, and you can find things that work with counting your macros. (Fresh spring rolls-minus the sauce, a little rice with grilled shrimp or
Chicken, add extra vegetables to any meal...they have hot sauces that are very good but not crazy with the calories).
I love this place! I see the owner at Costco all the time! Really courteous people.
Very good Thai Food. Easy access and parking. Very nice staff.
Absolutely outstanding place! Great food, awesome atmosphere and a real great honest owner. If you are in the area and interested in great Thai food, that's the place to go!
Very good service delicious food. Will return for sure!!
Great service every single time, and always great food!!!. Consistency is a big deal for me!!
Best place to go eat for a nice lunch

Excellent food and friendly service.

I couldn't find a negative thing to say even I I tried. Outstanding food. Outstanding service.
Very good pad Thai.
Delicious thai food with an awesome menu! They'll make it nice and spicy if you like it that way. The hot pot soup bowls are fun too!

Traditional Thai food for good prices.
Great Thai food! Beautiful atmosphere. Large menu choice.
It was good first time eating thai food
The food is out of this world amazing . I order take out all the time and eat there every week . Jay and Chris do a wonderful job cooking and keeping that place up to scale . Even the atmosphere is great ! I highly recommend this place !! They even have a special menu for lunch that comes with a salad and is a smaller portion for 1. Thank you thai villa 🙏.
Very nice ambience. Really good food. Loved our lunch here. Only one suggestion, please also provide steamed dumplings, currently there is only friend ones.
So yummy! What Thai food should be. The BBQ chicken is amazing - it’s not something I’d normally think to pick, but so glad my son did because it was delicious!
Good Thai food. Everything was delicious. I recommend it
Love the food here and the owners are always wanting to please. Staff is kind, but young and treat it like a basic job so dont expect much from the employees.
That coconut water is bomb
Very very good Thai food. Amazing curries and large portions.
Tastes of love, flavors of perfection. I'm always going to be in love with this place.
Food is really good, as well as the service!
I have been coming here since they opened and have never been disappointed. I appreciate the cleanliness of the establishment and quality of the food. I also like that it is family owned and operated. Great place to have here in little Nipomo.
Great Authentic Thai food. Owner came out to see how we liked the food, very admirable .
Great food! Soup was yummy, spring rolls were taste & sticky rice to die for!! Fast service! Will definently be back again someday!
Sorry my food is half eaten on the pictures, but once I start eating it was hard to stop to take a picture. But this has to be the best Thai restaurant I have been to in a while. Especially if you are vegetarian. Lots of flavor. Nothing was bland. It was so good. This is my new favorite place.
Rob the dish washer cleans the plates really good.
Great ambiance and great service
Food well prepared. Good presentation. Pleasant help.
Bbq chicken is delicious and different. The garlic rice is superb. I love this place
Wonderful food!
Great Thai place. All the food choices are good.
Very good food and nice casual dining. Been there many times.
The food was delicious! We ordered several different dishes and loved them all. They even had live music that added to the enjoyment of it all.
Garlic chicken with veggies
Good b food.
The calamari, the soups, the curries, the noodles --- all were superb. We've been here twice and food is consistently delicious!
Love the food and hospitality!
Great food and service!
Good food, clean and friendly.
They are to Thai food what PF Cheng's is to Chinese. It's a very Americanized version - bland and boring. Non-Thai enthusiast will probably enjoy it but if you've ever eaten at Thai Boat in SLO you'll be disappointed.
So delicious every time! Best service and food !
Best Thai food I've ever had!
Great Thai food. Good flavor. Nice atmosphere.
Great lunch. Great tasking food and not too busy.
Food was excellent and there was lots of it. Good service
The hours online are not correct! They close at 10 on Saturdays. Food was very yummy.
The service was amazing and helpful, the food was even better!
Very tasty and relaxed atmosphere
Great food. Great service.
Wonderfully relaxing atmosphere, excellent taste in decor, food is absolutely amazing! Try the yellow curry! It's mildly spicy and just the right amount of sweet and flavorful! Creamy and delicious!!!
Staff is very friendly and polite. When you say, "Thank you", they say, "Our pleasure" or "You're welcome", instead of "No problem".
This is a must go to for great Thai food and fun!
Good food, big portions.
Excellent! Worth going and siting down
Good food and friendly staff
Great food. Genial owner, very hands on, love him!
Wonderful atmosphere, great service and amazing food.
