Owners are very kind and food tastes delicious. My one gripe is the meat to noodle ratio. The dishes are not very expensive but I'd rather have a bit less noodle portion to be more proportional to the meat. Other than that the dishes we've tried we've enjoyed!

So disappointed. I’ve eaten here several times. Food has been pretty good. Tonight’s meal must have come out of the dumpster in the back. Chicken satay was grey. See photo. Curry chicken: no chicken, all onions. Dry tasteless mango rice.. Soup was watery, awful. No more.

Got the mango crispy chicken. It was soaked and not crispy. The flavor was really similar to Panda Express I was very disappointed. Nice restaurant and quick service.

Positives: friendly, fast service and reasonable priced lunch menu with big portions, quality meat used.
Critiques: was not asked Spice level preference has absolutely no heat. Everything was very saucey, almost more of a Lao influence.
Ordered: Thai tea, lunch special pork pad thai, lunch special eggplant basil with beef.

I was in the mood for Thai and this restaurant popped up so I popped in. I enjoyed the green papaya salad and tom kha chicken, which were delicious. I also ordered green tea... if you like the Lipton tea bag in a pot approach, this is how it comes. I prefer more traditional tea in the pot personally. I recommend coming to enjoy delicious Thai fare!

Very nice place. Our first time here was impressive. Their food portions are very large. One is enough for 1 person. Family of 2 and a half adult, we were hungry and ordered 4 meals. Could not finish. Box to take home. The Eggplant in green curry was phenomenal.

I ordered lunch from the Google Maps App today and then came to pickup two take-out plates for lunch. Both dishes taste good but every restaurant has dishes with unique tastes.
The Pad Thai dish was on the sweeter side.
The Larb dish was on the sour side.

Trying this place for the first time and I absolutely love it. The yellow chicken curry is so good. The portions are really big and the prices are good. The food is very flavorful. I would definitely come back again. Also I like that you can order online and pickup in store. If you haven’t already, try this place out!!

Delicious, excellent portions and reasonable price

Their curries are amazing and lunch special deal is great.

The food is delicious!!! I love Thai and try it everywhere I travel to and this one is authentic!! I’m sad I don’t live here and can’t have it more often! Highly recommend!!

I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather lately due to the nasty conditions we've had over the past few days. My husband suggested eating out instead of cooking since we needed to go to Lowe's. We decided to try a nearby restaurant. Even though their Google reviews weren’t great, we still wanted to give it a shot. (I love Thai food) I had tofu pad see ew, he had pork panang curry, and we shared Thai bbq pork ribs. I’d never had pad see ew with thin noodles before, but it was good! It wasn’t too salty or sweet, just flavorful. The Panang curry had a nice coconut flavor, and the pork ribs were unique but tasty. They also served chopped Thai chili peppers in a fishy sauce as a side chili condiments (not sure what it’s called), which we both love! The food portions were fair for the price, and the service was good.

Small little family restaurant. We always order to go, their portions are huge and very worth the price. Delicious pad Thai, beef salad and drunken noodles

Got the mango crispy chicken. It was soaked and not crispy. The flavor was really similar to Panda Express I was very disappointed. Nice restaurant and quick service.

Store has great food, still hot after getting it to go and eating a half hour later.

Some of the best Thai food I have experienced

This place has fantastic food, huge portion sizes, and reasonable prices. This is my go-to Thai restaurant from now on.

Came here with my best friend, we ordered the catfish and duck curries, and mango rice. Food was absolutely delicious, good prices too. Service was also very good, server was polite, friendly, and seemed down to earth all without being invasive. Inside is also very nice, came here around 5 and the perfect mix of sunlight with shade through the trees made for a wonderful atmosphere. Fantastic experience. Next time I'm in Sac, Cha Thai will be top of my list.

There was boba in the menu pictures but when i visited the place, people in the restaurant (i believe they are owners) said its not available anymore. But please delete boba related pictures in menu.

Came here for lunch with my colleagues. Good food, good customer service…

So disappointed. I’ve eaten here several times. Food has been pretty good. Tonight’s meal must have come out of the dumpster in the back. Chicken satay was grey. See photo. Curry chicken: no chicken, all onions. Dry tasteless mango rice.. Soup was watery, awful. No more.

Was in the Rancho Cordova area. Was looking to eat Thai food & this place on recommendation from another family member. The atmosphere was very nice & clean. The food portions were good. The food was good, the spiciness level was good. Most of the food were on the sweat side. I’m not a big fan of sweet cuisine so hence only 4 stars.
The best dishes: duck fried rice, red curry

That thai hot is spicy. Asian spicy varies from places and it was more spicy than I like which prevented me from enjoying my food as much. Going to try at a later time with their mild and that should make it better. My fualt not theirs. Keep up the good food.

Their food is so good, I highly recommend the Thai BBQ Chicken!!

I ordered the Thai Chow Mein, which was basically thawed out frozen (and soggy) vegetables mixed with watery (and soggy) ramen noodles. Zero flavor. Just nasty. Hard no for me.

Positives: friendly, fast service and reasonable priced lunch menu with big portions, quality meat used.
Critiques: was not asked Spice level preference has absolutely no heat. Everything was very saucey, almost more of a Lao influence.
Ordered: Thai tea, lunch special pork pad thai, lunch special eggplant basil with beef.

I'm sad to say that the quality of the food here has been declining over the years. The service is still good, but the food is kinda meh.

MUY RICO

I usually go here and the fried rice is amazing and I love the pad Thai

Fast service but the food was not good. My partner and I could only palate a bite of our food each.

I ordered lunch from the Google Maps App today and then came to pickup two take-out plates for lunch. Both dishes taste good but every restaurant has dishes with unique tastes.
The Pad Thai dish was on the sweeter side.
The Larb dish was on the sour side.

Yellow curry was not good. The staff is nice but food was so-so.

Been here 3 times now. Once for lunch; twice take out for dinner. Food is always fresh and delicious. Staff is very nice. Love this place and I'm glad it's close to home.

The House Special Salad, there was nothing special about it. Lettice and sliced 🥕 's for $5.50 this should be against the law. Ridiculous! REALLY

Simple joint, food mediocre. Got chicken Pad Thai and Curry. Ok if you're hungry, otherwise avoid.

I ordered the salmon, veggies, and a side of steamed rice. Surprisingly good! I loved it, I will definitely be going back.
I don't normally leave reviews, but the food was so good, I felt compelled...

The pad Thai is just ok but the curry is very tasty! So is the Thai tea - delicious!

Solid food! Flavor was there, although I forgot to ask for the food to be spicy so it was definitely very mild. Definitely will go back and ask for it hot.

Yellow curry was meh. Didn't love the rice. Cheap... but tasted cheap. Yellow curry is my favorite food and I couldn't even finish this.

The Pad Kra Paw and Eggplant basil is always my todo items. They are delicious and have never let me down.

Plus they have the buy 10 get 1 free offer makes them an even better place to visit regularly.

Very nice place. Our first time here was impressive. Their food portions are very large. One is enough for 1 person. Family of 2 and a half adult, we were hungry and ordered 4 meals. Could not finish. Box to take home. The Eggplant in green curry was phenomenal.

I have high expectations on Thai restaurant. This one let me down. Their pad see ew is the worst I’ve ever eaten. Seasoning is off, veggies is over cooked, squid is not fresh. Close to my house but I will never try again.

Good customer service, and the chicken larb salad had tons of flavor!

Great food! Try the Angel Crispy Shrimp appetizer. Very clean environment as well, friendly chef!

Love this restaurant...new management and its our go to Thai restaurant now...glad we found you

Great Food!

Still the best pineapple curry.... it just keeps getting better

The place is nice and clean, the staff friendly, and the food served steaming hot and delicious. The spicy scale is a little on the mild side but you can request pepper flakes to kick it up a notch.

Absolutely amazing! First time at this restaurant. Ordered takeout. Drunken noodles with chicken and fried shrimp. Large portions and fresh. Hot. Shrimp is crispy. Everything is delicious. Probably best Thai food I have ever had! Wonderful dinner.

Apparently they have two online menus that don't match up. I received a different item than ordered. Staff was apologetic about it and made the correct order for me. Took it back to work and took two bites just to make sure what I was tasting was what Ii thought it was. It was very salty and the flat noodles weren't really flat almost pasta like. The dish was basically disgusting. Given how I got the wrong order, it just wasn't worth it. This has got to be the worse Thai restaurant ever.

Ordered eggplant lunch with tofu and I love it! The eggplant and the tofu is crunchy on the outside be soft on the inside! The service is kind and fast, the interior environment is spacious and clean, and parking is easy! Would definitely come back next time!

First time visitor and I was not disappointed. Yum! Lunch was delicious and priced fairly.

Food was excellent, service was great, great place for good food and company and friends gathering to dine in.

Planned to dine at a different restaurant during lunch but we passed Cha Thai and decided to do Thai.
We ordered several dishes. We got the Padthai, seafood egg plants, seafood dish and the calamari.
I’m not too impressed with the food. These are the dishes I normally order at a Thai restaurant so I know how they’re supposed to taste. I was trying very hard to like it but the flavor wasn’t to my liking. The portion was ok but I was a bit disappointed in the calamari. For $12.99 there was literally 7 small little pieces.

The customer service was great, food came out fast though. Ehh, I might give them another chance and do a lunch special next time.

My first adventure into the land of curry and I'm hooked. The Angel Wings in Red Curry is probably my favorite but the green and yellow currys were amazing too. My wife loves and always gets their Pad Thi. Friendly, professional staff. Nice decore and quick service. Highly recommended.

Awesome red curry!

Delicious and fresh. Reasonably priced.

First time eating here. I ordered drunken noodles and chicken satay. The chicken satay was good (a 3.5 out of 5) but not like any satay I've had at the various Thai restaurants I've been too. It actually reminded me of foil wrapped chicken in terms of flavor. But the peanut sauce for dipping was excellent! The drunken noodles... that's my fave Thai dish and I am a bit of a drunken noodles connoisseur and their drunken noodles are lacking big time. I would be generous to rate them a 2. 😔 I have been to this restaurant many times as an Uber driver and the service is always good, friendly and they are fast. Food comes out hot and in a timely manner. Overall, I probably won't be back because I can't get my fave dish.

Everything I’ve tried from this restaurant has been absolutely delicious. The food is piping hot with tons of flavor and the presentation is nice. Staff is friendly, location is super clean. I’m a new fan!!

This place is extremely underrated. They spice your food to the level you desire and don't hold back. The food quantity almost exceeds your appetite. The prices are beyond fair. Go, if you're reading this.

La primer vez que voy! Todo estuvo estupendo, muy rica la comida y el personal muy amable!

Loved this place, I tried the yellow curry with duck, it was barely $14 but I would have paid $30 if I was asked to!! in my opinion duck should be a MUST in Thai places, unfortunately some of them don’t offer it, anyhows, I totally recommend this place 😀😀😀

We love this place. Nice people, large portion of food, tastes great.

I eat lunch here every Thursday, since it is right next to my work. Love the folks here, love the food (larb is my go-to order!). Give them a try if you are in the area!

First time here and me and the bae loved it! Thai tea definitely worth the $10 for 2😁

Curries are awesome, tasty fried rice

Stopped here on the ride home. The service was very fast even though several tables were busy. We sat on the patio, all the staff wore high filtration masks, which seems like an expected thing, but we actually left a restaurant previous to walking in here because the chefs were not wearing masks. So it was just nice that they took it seriously. The food came super fast and was awesome. The staff was also very nice. YOU HAVE TO TRY THE BOBA SMOOTHIE! I got the coconut (with double boba) and oh my goodness it was amazing. It was giant. 10/10. I don’t go through the valley much but I would definitely stop here again next time I make the drive.

Delish!

Business owner are getting a bit greedy with their ingredients; I had two orders refunded due to “chewy and old chicken pieces” found in my orange and mango chicken. The issue was how the refund was dealt with. I’ve been frequenting Chai Thai for past year but after how defensive the counter lady became saying “it was fresh” and was ongoing to prove that I’m wrong. Not sure what happens to old adage “customer service” but I have no interest to give more business to them as they don’t seem to see the bigger picture that small service recovery can help in the long run for customer retention.

Worst spring rolls ever, it was like a child prepared them. They were falling apart, badly wrapped and stuff was messing. I ordered them to go. I was so upset when I got home and saw what I had paid for. SMH, never again. Thai is my favorite food. However, as they say, one time shame on them, twice shame on you. Will not be going back, truly disappointed.

Food is delicious. Just make sure you check your order, they didn’t give me 3 items I paid for. 3! I paid online, so they have my contact info but never contacted me. If I owned a business and I forgot to give a customer food I would contact them and let them know.

This is our go to neighborhood Thai spot. Everything we try is visually stunning and delicious!

I ordered online for pickup. My choice included having the dish Thai hot. Flavor is great. First time the dish was spicy enough to be a little difficult to eat. Loved it.

Great lunch spot! Quick and delicious. I get food here almost weekly, the curry dishes are so good.

Probably best drunken noodles I've ever had. Good portion sizes for a good prize compared to other places. Good service too.

Great customer and very friendly staff! Food was also amazing!

This was the best Thai food ever! Get the crispy mango chicken!

Love this place! My boyfriend and I have tried many of their plates.

Our favorites are the red and yellow curry, the mango chicken, and the pad Thai! You must try at least one of those :)

Love the thai food!! My favorite is satay chicken and basil fried rice and Thai tea!!

Best Thai food in Rancho! We don’t go anywhere else! Owners are super nice and value their customers!

Trying this place for the first time and I absolutely love it. The yellow chicken curry is so good. The portions are really big and the prices are good. The food is very flavorful. I would definitely come back again. Also I like that you can order online and pickup in store. If you haven’t already, try this place out!!

Take out! Food tasted old

The food just isnt what its suppose to be.

Quiet and calming place good food try to wipe down table number cards that was dirty overall would recommend

The flavors were delicious and the Service was very good!

The food was amazing here! Wonderful service and full of flavour. If you're a big eater, the portions are great for you. Love this place, would come back at some point!

Awesome, one of my favorite Thai restaurant.

Horrible experience

Always delicious vegetarian food!

I didn't recognize the Pad thai that they served to me.

The Curry Salmon is to die for!! Really really good!!! Pad Thai is really good as well!!!

Food is bad. We ordered fried rice and stir fry for lunch. Veges were pretty old and chicken as well. 2 star for the ambience and service

Good food.. Friendly service. Prices in line with most thai restaurants. Will come back again.

Like the food. I need to try more items.

Thank you so much for kind and courteous service. Makes all the difference in the world.

Excellent quality, good variety, very reasonable prices..my first but certainly not my last time here!!

I like the staff and all but the food was a bit salty for me. It was probably my fault not telling them too. But everything else was great! The staff did their best and for that I will come back

Good

The best Thai in the area for eat in or take out!

Nice food!

Curry was good, but the chicken in it was dry and chalky. The lady only brought our food but other then that she never checked on us the whole time! Twice, we had to get up when we needed something! The worst part about the lady not checking on us was that there was only one other couple in the whole restaurant! The Thai bbq ribs I ordered looked like a goat or sheep rib, it definitely wasn't a pork rib like they said.

Great Thai food!!

Excellent staff and great food at a great price

I have no idea how this place isn't rated higher. My wife and I go here all the time. Their Curry is amazing and the staff is very friendly.

What a delightful lunch on the patio on a beautiful day! The presentation was beautiful and the food was scrumptious! Our server was attentative, just perfect! My sisters and I were very happy, and one of them is a professional chef! I am so glad we discovered this place.

Took almost 40 minutes for food. Waitress didn't even ask if I wanted something to drink and finally when I did she made me walk to the front desk to get it instead of traditionally bringing it to you. I never told them I wanted the food to go and they packaged all up to go and acted rude plus food tasted spoiled.

I went today for lunch the food was good I ordered chicken drunken noodles and bbq chicken...I loved the steamed veggies the most...the staff was super friendly...my baby spilled a glass of water and staff was so friendly unlike others they made us very comfortable as I was very embarrassed the staff definitely is 10/10

Me encanta su Thai tea

Quick service with friendly people.

Stopped by to pick up quick meal to go. The staff was friendly and courteous. I got the green curry with chicken and it was excellent. It had just the right amount of heat as to enjoy the dish but still taste the wonderful flavor of the curry.

Food is amazing!!!!

Good service! Yummy food!

Service is good, the food is OK and it’s a perfectly good little restaurant but because of the acoustics it’s noisy even when not very busy, and the TV can be annoying.

Great Thai food a gem in Rancho Cordova

BEST DRUNK NOODLES EVER!!!

Love the food. Good prices for lunch.

Newly opened Thai restaurant.
Good prices, good food and decent ambiance.

Food was delicious and the service was great!!

Excellent Thai food, their green curry and drunken noodles are tasty, and they have daily off menu specials as well. Prices sre reasonable.

Service was good, Treeya is a server and was extremely kind. I ordered pad sew chicken and it came too spicey she was extremely nice and wouldnt let me eat it and demanded I let her remake it. She was fantastic. I highly recommend this place, food is great!! And HUGE portions!!!

This is a restaurant with flavorful food and friendly people. I ordered my favourite red curry and it was delicious. The portion, however, was too less. But never mind, the host is happy to give extra rice if you ask for so that you don't waste the food up front.

Great service, thai ice tea in Mason jars, and good food. A bit of an industrial atmosphere to put a spin on the typical thai restaurant. The eggplant vegetarian style was my favorite.

Don't expect to eat lunch here in a timely manner. My wife my son and myself had come here around noon during my wife's lunch break which is an hour. We were greeted immediately which was nice and then our order was taken within 5 minutes of us being there. And then 20 minutes goes by I asked them to go check on the food and they brought it five minutes later which is already probably half of my wife's lunch. They bring out the appetizer with the main course at the same time when they should have brought it before. After getting my dish which was the basil beef it was cold when it should have been hot. I asked the staff if they knew how long the dish was sitting back there as it should have been hot. They gave me attitude and was very Unapologetic and just said I'll take it off the bill if you want. Customer service is vital when it comes to running an establishment and I will not be returning to this establishment. And to know I was not the only one in that restaurant that had inquired about their food there was another couple that said that they were on their lunch and were in a rush to get a quick bite to eat and they were very Unapologetic to them was very disappointing.

Love the food, would recommend to anyone.

Thai Chai Food Restaurant in Capital Village is under new management!
The food is fantastic! I especially like the attention to detail in the take-out packaging. Allow me to explain…

I recently came in for the egg plant with basil, green peppers, red peppers, carrots, and choice of protein (chicken, pork, beef, tofu). I requested to add a little bit spicy and it was just so delicious! So today I ordered it to go & and was impressed at the packaging!

I had ordered saucy foods to go from other restaurants in the past, & the sauce always ended up sloshing out of the Styrofoam and into the plastic bag.

However, chai Thai Food restaurant was very considerate and put a sheet of tinfoil in the to go container before pouring in the Freshly cooked and steaming hot dish. They gently fold of the corners up so that the sauce would not splash out. Hence, I arrived home with my eggplant, basil and chicken dinner in perfect order!

I ate it on the back patio as the sun went down behind the house and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I will be back again and again! Thanks for the great food and great service.

Last night my family stumble upon a gem. This place was small but what it lacks in size they made up with service. Everyone was always smiling and dont even get me started on the food. Long story short I'm glad we made our stop there for dinner.

Great place for Thai food in Capital Village.

Went in around 7:30 on a Saturday and they close at 9 pm. Ordered my food, fried rice as one dish and was told they didn't have any fried rice so they gave me steamed rice instead. The Green Curry Dish lacks flavor and that real thai touch although the Thai Boat Noodle Soup was pretty good. My friend arrived a few minutes after our food arrived and was told that they had no beef for his boat noodle soup. Service sucks, we were not asked if we'd like to order any more food or drinks after our initial order nor were we asked if we wanted refills on our drinks. THIS PLACE BLOWS CHUNKS!

Their food is always excellent and their staff is very friendly. I would give them five stars, but sometimes during lunch time it can get extremely busy. So wait times for food can greatly vary. I would definitely recommend this place.

The staff was friendly and the orange chicken was great!! I gave 3 stars because I accidentally ordered the wrong item. When I told them I didnt want it, if they could please take it back... you could see the irritation in his face. ... all of a sudden the staff did a 180 and the atmosphere changed... cold shoulders and all. .... don't worry though, I still paid you guys a 12$ tip

Definitely underwhelmed by this place. I had the Cashew Nut wok, ordered Thai hot. It tasted more like mild; there was no heat to it whatsoever. The pineapple in that dish tasted fermented. I ordered hot tea to drink. I had to ask for it twice more after the food was delivered before getting it. Both my partner and I had to ask for utensils, her a fork and chopsticks for me. I never did get a napkin to go with it. The men's room was out of both paper towels and toilet paper, so I told our server. No one went back to correct this before we left. There was no hot water in the men's room, either. They have an Instant-Flow point of use water heater installed, but it doesn't work, so cold water only. When presented with the bill, our server asked if I wanted a copy of the receipt and I told him yes. He didn't bring one after running my card until I asked for it. My partner asked for a to-go box for part of her meal. She had to ask twice more before getting it.

Would not recommend.

The front of the house staff are nice people and try hard. Often it appears to be chaos in there though, including loud voices in the kitchen. Somehow they continue to get orders wrong. Food is good, just very inconsistent experience as a whole.

Fantastic Thai. They give hefty portions and can make spicy for you! Really friendly staff as well.

Good coconut soup, great Thai ice coffee, but little too spicy Penang chicken curry. Overall pretty good.

Gr8 food and service. They get really busy sometimes.

If it's Thai place then it's time for drunken noodle.

Excellent customer service and speedy delivery... To my belly! Food is fresh, hot, and delicious all the time.

Update:
I've been back to this place a few times in the last ten months and each time was left with mixed feelings, more bad than good. The quality of food and service varies a bit too much. I want to support local businesses, but I just can't continue being a patron at this place.

Original review:
We saw this place opened a few months ago but with the holidays, we did not have the chance to try until today. Overall the food was decent. I expected an explosion of flavors that I came to love with Thai food but did not get much of that here. I am not saying that the food was bad, it was okay. They do use very fresh ingredients which is always a plus.

The problem was, I ordered Thai spicy and there was nothing remotely spicy about that dish except for the jalapeño I asked for. On the spicy scale of 1 to 5, it was a zero for spicy. Maybe they forgot....

I asked if I can substitute jalapeño pepper in place of bell pepper and was told yes, But then I was charged $1 extra for it. I like hot pepper so I'll pay but maybe there should have been a confirmation that I'm okay with the extra charge beforehand.

Since this place is closed to home I'll give it another try in the future and may change my rating.

Oh yes, one thing that was very good was the Thai ice coffee. It was different. I can't really describe it, it was just tasty!
