Really people? No offense but for a moment when the food came out, thought we were at a Chinese restaurant for this dish. There is nothing Thai delight about this restaurant.

Great Thai food, but not great ambiance.

Diner Review β„–7

Amazing food and value for money. I really loved the food and service was quite prompt. The Thai green curry and hot basil chicken were great. Definitely recommend the fried rice as well.

One of the BEST Thai foods I ever had. Very friendly and quick service. Will visit again.

IMO, best Thai spot in slo. Food is incredible - I am partial to the yellow curry with chicken. Service can be a bit slow (especially with the deluge of doordash pickups by the door) but the experience is wonderful overall.

Amazing experience from the moment we walked in. The staff were very attentive and responsive, always checking in on us. We ordered Tom yum soup, green papaya salad, fresh heaven rolls, red thai curry, paradise fried rice and beef pleasing garlic. I would have to say the green papaya salad was super fresh, tasty and definitely sparked our appetite. The Paradise fried rice has so many components and the raisin was surprisingly a good ingredient to balance all the flavours. However, I didn't quite enjoy the beef pleasing garlic as I find it saltier than I would like. For dessert, we ordered mango sticky rice and fried banana with vanilla ice cream. What a wonderful way to end our meal. That mango sticky rice was perfectly warm and just had the right amount of sweetness. Overall, a great experience and would definitely come back here again.

De paso por San Luis Obispo nos encontramos con este restaurante en donde la comida Thai es la protagonista, platos abundantes y una mezcla de sabores que lo ubican entre mis restaurantes favoritos en California.

Diner Review β„–15

This is definitely the best Thai food in town! Everything I've tried on the menu has been fantastic, and they have a ton of options. The back patio is really pretty with a view of the creek below. Service is very friendly.

I have a lot of favorites from here: their wonton soup, the praram (chicken with peanut sauce), spicy eggplant stir fry, and thai iced coffee or tea. The curries and specialty dishes are great, too. Honestly, you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu!

My wife and I were extremely pleased with the food here. We've tried dozen of Thai place where we live, and all of them are good but never expected SLO to have such a delicious Thai spot. Totally recommend this place!

Good and friendly service. Food is well spiced. Many vegetarian options available as well. They were happy to serve us even 15 minutes before closing time.

Diner Review β„–21

Very delicious thai lunch combo with entree, salad, and soup. Ordered pad see ew, green curry, thai iced tea, and pad pad kee mao. Quick service and the food was very tasty. Highly recommend this place if you’re in SLO and you’re looking for authentic thai food.

The staff was kind and the lunch was good.

Diner Review β„–24

That's two bad experiences ordering pickup here. My food was just sitting ready for 40 minutes while I was made to think they were still making it then made to feel stupid for wondering why it just sat there while others picked up food. The food is great here but there are plenty of other Thai places in slo πŸ‘‹

Panang Curry and Pad See Ew were the best I've had in a while! Food's quite tasty

Diner Review β„–29

Finally, a Thai restaurant with real Thai food, I had almost lost all hope for Central Cali/San Luis Obispo until I came into Thai Delight. Their food was delicious and hit the spot!

Diner Review β„–30

Solid Thai and a nice outside seating area. Service was a little slow and the quality felt very middle of the road but we enjoyed our food enough to return.

Diner Review β„–31

Diner Review β„–32

It was crowded and noisy. The only available seating was outdoors on a chilly, rainy evening. The overhead heaters were nice.

Diner Review β„–33

The ambience and food was great. We ordered vegetarian food.

Diner Review β„–36

believe me when i say i’ve been a Thai Delight fan for a few years now, but tonight just totally knocked it out of the park. i sent my girlfriend to bring me vegetable curry during my lunch break due to a sudden craving. even though this meant placing the order 30 minutes before close (apologies to the kitchen!) my girlfriend remarked how kind and attentive the staff were upon her arrival. everyone made sure she was helped and kindly and quickly. anyway, when i finally got to clock out, the food was still hot and so delicious. it was everything i could have wanted and just really hit the spot. thanks for everything thai delight

Diner Review β„–37

Great all-around Thai option in SLO. Each of the entree options like pad Thai or yellow curry are $15 which is about average although maybe on the higher side, and while nothing special were filling and satisfying, as expected.

We asked about non-dairy options for the Thai tea and they have coconut and almond options, though the original and coconut drinks we tried were bland in comparison to many others we’ve tried.

Great service and we can tell the staff was hustling and doing a great job

Diner Review β„–38

Great little Thai restaurant with a good selection of options to choose from for vegetarians. The servers were exceptional.

Diner Review β„–39

Diner Review β„–40

My absolute favorite Thai place in slo. Beautiful atmosphere, the kindest owners and employees, and amazing authentic food. Can’t recommend it enough :)

Diner Review β„–41

We had the pad se ewe with fried tofu, it was delicious and the tofu had a wonderful char on it. We also had the pumpkin curry with mock duck that was so comforting and just the right spice. This place is a hidden gem for vegetarian/vegans! The strawberry side and mango lemonade were also amazing. We ordered and had our food within 15 minutes. This place is 10/10!

Diner Review β„–42

This is a great place. Love everything about it.

Diner Review β„–43

Decent Thai food and pleasant surroundings. We were hungry and tired (long travel day) so we were glad (and surprised) when our food arrived quickly. Decent portions- we got the tofu yellow curry and chicken pad Thai.

The curry had nice chunky vegetables (onion, potato, carrot) that weren’t overcooked. It was a bit too sweet for my taste, but he liked it. Gotta say the pad Thai wasn’t like any other I’ve had - the sauce was more like a gravy, and there wasn’t much bean sprouts. It was good - just different. If you’re really hungry, you might need to include an appetizer, but we weren’t so it was perfect.

Good food. Nice service. Charming atmosphere.

Diner Review β„–49

I came here for the first time a few weeks ago after attending the DTSLO Farmer's Market and it's one of the cutest Thai restaurants I ever had the pleasure to dine. The restaurant is centrally located on Higuera Street, but is inconspicuous with a small white branded sign. Upon walking in, there is a corner desk that triples as a host stand, waiting area and expo line. The space seems small, but really would feel more spacious if they played Tetris with the furniture.
.
We were greeted by a dark haired, friendly young man in a black dress shirt and he directed us to his manager to place our order to go. The menu has all the fan favorites: spring rolls, seaweed salad, mango sticky rice and of course the popular curry dishes. My bestie ordered the pumpkin curry with extra vegetables as her protein and I got the green curry with shrimp. Like most small town establishments, they close fairly early with the last order being placed before 9:30pm. As we waited for our food to be made, I used the restroom and toured the dining room. It was moderately clean and they have the most enchanting patio with heat lamps and paper lanterns laden on wooden vertical pallets around the tables, perfect ambience for a date night.
.
The curry dishes were warm, large and delicious. There's a slight spiciness to the broth and it also comes with a small bowl of white rice. It can easily be split into two servings depending on your hunger level, but I always slurp it down in one sitting. If you want hearty food on these colder winter nights, Thai Delight lives up to its name!

Perfect combo of Good food and great ambiance. Love to visit again!

Beautiful interior after the recent renovation! The back patio is lovely and heated at night. Inside the lighting is comfortable and the staff and service were friendly and helpful. Food was delicious! I will be coming back again and again as long as I live in SLO!

Great noodle dishes. I come back anytime I need some pad Thai or other stir fry. Seriously amazing pad Thai and pad see ewe. The lunch deal is unbeatable for such amazing food and quantity for such a low price.

Diner Review β„–63

This place is awesome! The outdoor patio has a really cool atmosphere and the staff is super friendly. The food is fantastic and they serve really good portions as well. The presentation of the food is another cool feature of this place.

Very Good Food and a great value for lunch. Great outdoor seating… quiet and good service with attention to detail. The Pad Thai was fantastic. The Teriyaki beef was not as great but it was good. Thanks!

Diner Review β„–67

Très bonne cuisine thaï.

Diner Review β„–68

Outside dining was quaint with a view of little stream that runs through the area. The waitress was friendly. However, the food was the worst Thai I'd ever had (Pad Thai and their version of Pineapple fried rice. Tasted drenched in soy sauce.

The mural was ironic. Lol

Diner Review β„–69

Had the pumpkin curry, it was so delicous. We ate outside in the patio which was really nice next to the creek.

Diner Review β„–74

Sit outside!! Lots of college kids and young folks eat here. My friend and I got spring rolls and the fresh heaven rolls were especially good. Little pricey but worth it for the fun late night atmosphere and getting to sit on a balcony next to the creek. Couldn’t be happier.

Diner Review β„–75

Very generous with portions. The Tom-ka soup is great. Pumkin curry with crispy pork was off the hook. Mongolian beef was alright.
Outdoor sitting was a plus.

Diner Review β„–76

Located in downtown SLO, this place was pretty popular. And no wonder. The food was authentic and tasty. Arrive early or make reservations. Otherwise you're in for a wait. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and they're pet friendly. We ordered their green curry, pad see ew and their special crispy pork and broccoli. Our fav was the green curry. Nicely spiced with little hot kick. Their broccoli was a little under cooked, but the taste of the dishes were good. This is probably the best Thai restaurant in the area for miles around.

Diner Review β„–77

Much much more than a delight!!!

Diner Review β„–78

Food was alright until the next day. We were visiting on vacation and both my spouse and I got violent food poisoning and have been sick for multiple days. Wouldn't recommend unless you want to be puking out of both ends.

Diner Review β„–79

Not sure what the hype is about this place!

Food here is very average. I've been to many other Thai restaurants which do a much better job than this restaurant.

Since we were quite unsure about what to order, we had asked for vegetarian recommendations from the waitress. They suggested Tofu Delight, Red Curry and Drunken Noodles.

Tofu Delight: Very very bland. Sweet and Sour sauce on the side was bland too!

Red Curry: Great Presentation. Looks very appetizing. But taste was below average. Kinda disappointed with the veggie portions. Most of the veggies weren't cooked well too.

Drunken Noodles: Again, looks appetizing. Tastes pretty bland.

We had asked for extra red sauce, and were offered packed red sauce curry packets. This is probably the first Thai restaurant which didn't offer fresh chili/chilli powder.

Diner Review β„–87

I can't tell you how many times I've walked by this restaurant in the past. Today my husband wanted to try it. I'm so glad we took a chance!! IMO it is THE best Thai restaurant in SLO!! My husband ordered ginger chicken and I ordered the Pad Thai. Both dishes were amazing!! The flavors were incredible from the soup to the fried rice and then the entrees - WOW!! The service was wonderful and the prices reasonable. We will be back.

Diner Review β„–88

Sadly, the most flavorless pad thai I've ever had :( not worth the money. And I've had a lot of thai food before. But they're spring rolls were tasty.

Diner Review β„–91

Good vegan options (they offer mock duck, mock Chicken and tofu), very accommodating to dietary requests and restrictions and what is even more impressive is the varying levels of spicy from mild to "extreme" heat- we loved it!

A mi hija le encanto la comida ella ordeno el curry amarillo (no se el nombre del platillo) y yo oedene una ensalada de papaya y estaba todo delicioso

Diner Review β„–103

I’ve had Pad Thai from many restaurants. Thai Delight’s was the best I’ve ever had. I only wish the portions were bigger.

Diner Review β„–104

Their food wasn’t even that good. Pad Thai is way too sweet and oily. Pad See Ew it should be savory but again too sweet. I’m not even Thai who doesn’t know authentic Thai food but I can tell that this place doesn’t know how to cook. Not even worth a try.

Diner Review β„–105

Please stop closing during the day. I want to come here weekly, but you’re always closed when I want to come. I don’t want to go to Thai boat when you’re closed; their food isn’t good, but at least their open.

Diner Review β„–106

In a word, decent. Ordered Khao Soi and tasted like your standard yellow curry you might make at home. Generous portion of chicken, vegetables were not side plated, which I would have preferred, and tasted pretty standard. People were friendly and patio is quite nice. Price was on the more affordable side, so it’s hard to hold it against them. May come back on a weekday and try the lunch special.

Diner Review β„–107

Diner Review β„–112

Really fresh ingredients, well cooked. Each of us had a different meal of the Healthy Eating section and they were both really good. I enjoyed the Boba tea, but that left no room for mango sticky rice for dessert. I guess I'll just have to go back.

Diner Review β„–114

A delicious Thai restaurant and a great value. Curries are only $13 and come with a side of rice. My hot curry was nice and spicy (only slightly toned down from an "authentic Thai spice scale"). Ingredients seem fresh and the curry is flavorful. Service is friendly and the space is beautiful, with a pleasant patio. I highly recommend Thai Delight!

Food was yummy. Had crispy fish mango tango which was awesome

Diner Review β„–117

The green curry is delicious here and very well priced. I went here often years ago and it was great then too. Seems like the place got renovated and looks much newer and modern. The food itself is still very enjoyable and quick service.

Diner Review β„–118

Served my party of 9 really well. Great food, everyone enjoyed it and it was reasonably priced given that it is right by downtown SLO. Good vegan options too.

What a wonderful experience we had here. We came to have dinner to celebrate our son birthday. The food and staff was superb! My wonton soup exquisite, right amount of fresh spinach, along with chicken, dumplings, that didn’t over take the taste of ginger, onion, and it was hot in temperature, and too spicy either. I also had shrimp tempura, golden brown, crispy crunch batter , with an succulent chili sauce to mix with my julienne carrot s and cabbage, outstanding mixture of chi sweet , with touch of the carrot sweetness and the mild cabbage flavor. Love, love it! My son had the chicken curry tasted homemade with love, the tofu sautΓ© just right, the potatoes cook perfection with nice bite not to hard or mushy, just right! Now of the curry was of bold, deep earthy with taste, in richness of turmeric , ginger,garlic, coconut milk, coriander, spice chili, and rice top it off-just outstanding combination together. Husband had chow mein and crispy chicken and yes , chicken was fried to perfection also, golden brown, crunchy crispy bite with blend vegetables , noodles in the chow mein , simply delicious! To top it off the restaurant brought a ice cream sundae to go along with the birthday cake and staff sang happy birthday to our son. We and the patrons sang along as well , it was fabulous! Thank you Frank and Thai Delight Cuisine staff for the excellent service and phenomenal food. We will be back and I suggest you try Thai Delight Cuisine . You will not be disappointed!!❀️
I would taken pictures but after one bite , it was so good, we kept eating and forgot pic.

Last night me and my wife decided to try out this re-opened Thai restaurant and placed an order online for pickup. We were given an estimate of 20 minutes to pickup so we left our home and were there in 15 minutes. We ended having to wait over 20 minutes for the food to be ready because as we got there the food was not yet being prepared. Once we got the food and came home it was average compared to other Thai restaurants in the area nothing amazing. I really do hope they improve their pickup system to be more realistic on when the food would be ready in the future.

A decent lunch spot. Arrived at 12:30, ordered a lunch pad Thai with chicken and a sweetened black iced tea. The back patio and courtyard was pretty, pleasant and well shaded on a nice sunny afternoon. Food took 20 minutes from ordering to arriving at the table but you get a light and tangy little cup of house soup while you wait. The pad Thai was filling and saucy (good mouth feel) but overall not very flavorful and distinctly lacking the tanginess one would want/expect from the dish. Was served with a side salad and some white rice. The tea was the best part of the meal, very refreshing and flavorful. Looking forward to checking back after the have been re-opened for a while longer.
