Diner Review №2

Great service. Great atmosphere. Not the best curry I've ever had, though. I'd still recommend as a nice place for dinner

Diner Review №3

Thai Palace is hands down one of my favorite spots for Thai food! Their Tom Kha Soup is phenomenal – easily the best I’ve ever had. The flavors are rich, balanced, and unforgettable. We also love their Chicken Satay – always tender and paired with a delicious peanut sauce.

The flavors at Thai Palace are fresh, authentic, and consistently amazing. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout, it’s always a fantastic experience. I can’t recommend this gem in SLO enough!

Diner Review №4

Service or decorations was great, food was tasty but too sweet for me.

Diner Review №5

Diner Review №6

Family was looking for good food and stumbled upon this spot! At first was nervous my first time but food is delicious!

Diner Review №7

Unfortunately, I am a big fan of Thai cuisine, but it was unexpected to have this in Thai restaurant. The food has a lot of sugar and was served cold, and took forever to get there on the table. The sizes and portions of the meal are very small, compared to the paid amount. The Waiters are not friendly and welcoming.

Diner Review №8

Food is unbreakable at best with some strange unwelcome deviations from well known recipes. Service is not any better. We were served the wrong dish twice. Till we finally run out of time. One has to wonder where these five star reviews came from.

Diner Review №9

Diner Review №10

Mixed Veggies was delicious, but the Tom Kha was beyond delicious, absolutely one of the best I've ever had.

Diner Review №11

The curries are sooo good. If you're looking for a warm dish on a cold night, this is the place.

Diner Review №12

Diner Review №15

Very good authentic thai food, definitely recommend it! ✨✨✨🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Diner Review №16

The appetizers were amazing but.... everything else was horrid. Sweet chili basil chicken tastes like ketchup. Yes overwhelmingly. And the pad see ew we adder chicken, the veggies were previously frozen and steamed separately so frostbite was their flavor.
I've been here before and this was very bad. We paid full priced.

Diner Review №17

Diner Review №18

Diner Review №22

Lecker, frisch und ohne Glutamat. Habe selten in Thai Restaurants gegessen, in denen ohne Glutamat und wirklich frisch (keine Fertigprodukte)gekocht wird. So lecker 😋

Diner Review №23

Satay was great. Papaya salad was REALLY good. I was very impressed, and I'll be going back here again.

Diner Review №24

Easy way to know you've had good food: entire party of 8 said so! Yellow and green curry dishes spiced just right. Pad Thai great flavor without being too sheet. Made vegan dishes with smile. I had the spicy scallop with basil. Excellent. Soft scallop crunchy veggies!
Will return when in SLO!

Diner Review №25

The pineapple fries rice comes in a pineapple half! Tastes amazing and the lycee rose mocktail was everything I wanted.

We popped into Thai Palace on a weekday afternoon recently. We ordered the sampler for an appetizer, it was fantastic. I highly recommend the Pad Woon Sen with chicken. We will definitely come here again!

Diner Review №35

Pad Thai and mango sticky rice are both some of the better renditions I have ever had. Service is kind and efficient. Will come back!

Diner Review №36

Hands down the BEST Thai food I have ever had! I have eaten at this restaurant many time as well as ordered food to go and have never been disappointed. They always get my order right, it is on-time, and the quality of the ingredients/flavor profile is unmatched!! I highly recommend the Pad Eggplant, it is the most flavorful delicious dish, and whenever I order it everyone else at the table tries it and whishes they had. Thanks Thai Palace for always having amazing food!!!

Diner Review №37

Diner Review №38

On a road trip and decided to take a break and decided to have some Thai food. I decided to come here and it was the best choice I could’ve made. They were even nice enough to give us a free coffee!

Diner Review №39

Diner Review №40

Absolutely insane, spicy fried rice is a must have. Noodles flavor was amazing, 10/10

Diner Review №45

Very pushy to get your order, in and out as fast as they can is how they made us feel

Diner Review №46

It was too dark. They charged extra fee for credit payment. The quality of food is so so but expensive.

Diner Review №47

Worst service possible. Wouldn't recommend it for vegetarians.

Diner Review №48

Despite telling them to make complete vegetarian food, they brought dish with egg in it, on top of that manager failed to acknowledge this. I won’t suggest this atleast for vegetarians.

Diner Review №49

Diner Review №74

Wow!! A punch full of flavor! I love Thai food and this place just takes the cake!! The Param is absolutely a gem with the bed of spinach! Well done. The service was amazing! Will definitely be a regular stop!

Diner Review №75

People, people, people... Staff is very friendly and the food is decent. We went with kids and they were very flexible and we all enjoyed the place. It was our 2nd time and they have lots of options. The rice was excellent and the chicken skewers were very tasty. Not my favorite Thai food in town, but if you are around and crave some Thai flavor this will not dissapoint.

Diner Review №76

Pretty decent Thai. One of the better places in San Luis

Diner Review №77

Friendly service and delicious food

Diner Review №81

Food is good but I was scammed for the Tom Kha (Pot). They gave me half a container for the larger size.

Diner Review №82

Best wonton soup I have ever had!!

Diner Review №83

Where do I start?! Thai Palace has been my wife and my favorite restaurant for well over a decade. The food is always delicious, Tee-Tee (the owner) is always friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant itself is well decorated. Each dish that I have tried is a culinary delight and we are nicer disappointed. We’ve been there for birthdays, anniversaries, and any other excuse we can come up with to visit! Tee-tee, keep up the good work my friend!

Diner Review №86

Amazing Food! Pad Thai and Crispy Basil Chicken are a must. Great Service. Best Thai in SLO!

Diner Review №87

I forgot to take photos first!! I was so excited to eat all the delicious food. We ordered the coconut soup with tofu and vegetables. It came flaming hot and was sooo good! They don’t skimp on adding lots of fresh vegetables. We ordered the ginger noodles (pictured after plated). So yummy. We also had some veggie rolls that were fried with glass noodles and sweet sauce. Sorry, I forgot the specific names of the dishes. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend. ❤️

Just Woow, great Thai food

Diner Review №90

Wonderful staff and atmosphere

Diner Review №91

Diner Review №92

Delicious. Quiet. Lots of space.
Great at accommodating food allergies & issues (have vegetarian options, gluten free options, can make dishes with no fish sauce, etc).
Very yummy.
I only got 1 pic of a partial plate because everyone dug in so fast and gobbled up every drop of food.

Diner Review №93

Food was traditional and good. Ambience and decor was comfortable and well done. Service was excellent and friendly. The fresh rolls were delicious. Prices were average and portions just right.

Diner Review №94

Best Thai food in SLO and they do a great job with gluten-free orders. We love the green curry!!

Amazing food amazing service.

Diner Review №99

Quality food and nice decor.

Diner Review №100

You can have Thai, Laotian, and Vietnamese foods here. I ordered fried rice with pork and my husband ordered a beef salad and a side order of roasted pork. The rice should have been “fried” a bit more, the pork in fried rice was chewy, and the flavor was a bit sweet for my taste. The beef salad was good and the roasted pork was very crispy.

Service was good! The restaurant is located inside a mall. Very comfortable ambience.

Diner Review №101

Wonderful service. Authentic cuisine.

Diner Review №102

One of the best Thai places in SLO county. Food and service are impeccable.

Diner Review №103

Always so good! We got our all time favorite Beef Massaman Curry!

Diner Review №105

Diner Review №106

Food was amazing. Wait time wasent that long. A bit loud and crowded.

Diner Review №107

Nice food. Small friendly Thai.

Diner Review №108

Delicious curries and fast service at good prices! My party of 2 was seated right away when we walked in on a Saturday night, and after ordering, our food was served in less than 10 minutes. Don't worry, there's lots of time to peruse the menu, and just as much to talk after the meal. The interior has a buzz of conversation and is nicely appointed with good lighting, and there's patio seating with heaters too. The dishes are just the right size, and they have tons of meat and veggies. They talked me out of getting the extra spicy option when I went a second time, but the spicy option was what "mild" should be and the "medium" option seems identical to "mild". Expect $21/person after tip (add more for fancier meat options, drinks, or appetizers).

Diner Review №109

This restaurant is now one of my favorites. Very good food, big portions and great flavors! Also the server was so kind and gentle. Highly recommend it. We'll be back soon.

Diner Review №110

Quickly seated with no reservations and it also didn't take long for the food to be served. The drunken noodles we ordered were also great.

Diner Review №114

Good food, I recommend this place.

Diner Review №115

Bold flavors. Top new favorite in SLO. A++

Diner Review №116

I have discovered a place that I can confidently go to for my Thai cravings. They have a very good vegetarian soup. Love the tofu in there. The pineapple fried rice is spiced to perfection. They also have tips on the nearby parking. I am sure to visit them soon.

Diner Review №117

Love Thai Palace!!
Food is fantastic. Prices are good.
Great service, both eat in and dine out.

Diner Review №118

Most dishes can be veganized, but their curries apparently cannot. Knowledgeable and friendly staff about vegan options, not using fish sauce or eggs.

Diner Review №128

Diner Review №129

Restaurant is located In downtown SLO so very little town with a few main streets with restaurants, bars and shops. Since I was on a business trip it was dinner for 1 and got. table quickly. Food was really tasty but service was not the best. They were very busy so I tried to be a little more understanding.

Pad see ew was really tasty and nice sized portions. I ordered it with shrimp and they were pretty generous. Also ordered the cream cheese wontons as an appetizer probably the best ones I’ve had in awhile. They were crispy not oily and had a good amount of filling

Diner Review №130

Diner Review №131

Diner Review №132

Worst meal ever! It's a shame because they used to be my favorite in town. Not only was the food not good, some of the dishes were also VERY strange - who puts quartered chucks of tomato in Fried Rice!

Service-wise, other oddities include the server firmly arguing that all tofu has wheat in it (we're long time gluten-free so know that's not the case, but he insisted we not order any tofu dishes). Then when trying to leave, it took four attempts before they reluctantly gave me too few to-go boxes for my meager leftovers. Those four staff then hovered at the table watching me box things up, not lifting a finger to help even when I asked.

It's quite a sad day indeed when I'd be 100 times happier with something from the freezer isle than to visit Thai Palace again!

Diner Review №133

Amazing service and food.

Diner Review №134

Nice atmosphere, delicious food!

Diner Review №135

Fantastic food at reasonable prices, with a good sized menu. Very accommodating alongside stellar customer service.

Diner Review №136

I totally recommend the restaurant! I'm not joking when I say that every item on the menu looks worth trying! Sticky rice with mangos, yum!

Diner Review №137

Absolutely amazing food. very quick service. a bit of a wait.

Diner Review №138

Curry was good

Diner Review №139

Food was quite bland. Ambience and service were very good. Quality of food was good but not flavourful.

Diner Review №140

Ok Thai food.

Diner Review №141

The food at Thai Palace was delicious and the items on the menu appealed to everyone in our party (spanning over all ages). Many vegetarian options, and all were delicious 👏

Diner Review №142

Diner Review №143

Yummmmm. Everytime I go to SLO I have to stop here for yummy Thai food.

Diner Review №144

The food was delicious and staff were nice, however, they add 15-20% gratuity by default to your bill !
I usually add 20% as tip but don't like to be dictated to do so, which I consider to be very rude!

Diner Review №145

Diner Review №146

Was alright. Black pepper sauce soba noodles lacked flavor depth and any pepper taste. Some “umami” taste from soy sauce or oyster sauce but also expensive for serving size, vegetables were cooked to a good texture but still sort of bland in tastes. I expected something with more spice, depth, and layering of flavors.

Diner Review №147

So flavorful and fresh. Excellent food.

Diner Review №154

Diner Review №155

It wasn't bad at all. A little pricier than most Thai places. The atmosphere was awesome. The food was good but portions were kinda small. The workers wore nice traditional style clothes so that was cool. Would I go back? Maybe.

Amazing food and service!

Diner Review №160

Very tasty vegetarian options and great service

Diner Review №161

The sad part of this restaurant is if you order and didn't like they will not return or make it better but charge you. Employees are polite but the owner is very cold and present!

Diner Review №162

Great great Thai tea! The Thai platter is so yum. Coconut soup is tasty too. Entree is not that amazed as the starter, but still good. I should still go with curry…

Diner Review №163

Wow!!! The food was great and the customer service was fantastic! I can’t wait to dine again!

Diner Review №164

Delicious! Fine dining!

Diner Review №167

This place is the real deal. Arguably the best curry I've ever had. Super nice, very personable family place - none of the corporate bs. This is a place that makes you proud to patronize.

Diner Review №168

I repeatedly have had cravings for this place ever since I went. The chicken Drunken Noodles are something spoken about in legends only. A must eat for all those die-hard Thai food fanatics visiting SLO!

Diner Review №169

The food is delicious as always and the service is outstanding. Try the Yummy desert!

Really good food, a lot for your money, leftovers for the next day, the curry was hot, but oh so good! Great service, nice to go out again!

Diner Review №175

Their Tom kha soup is legit. They serve the classic thai appetizers and yummy entrees. If you're out for stroll downtown stop in and try something on their menu, staff is super friendly and the place has a chill vibe.

Diner Review №176

Diner Review №177

Nice size portions, taste was predictable. We ate outside (evening), way too chilly to be enjoyable.

Diner Review №178

Diner Review №179

Very good food and we definitely come back♥️

Diner Review №180

The host told me that there was a 25min wait. I waited an Hour & 10mins to be seated. There was only one man catering to all the tables (Only outdoor dining allowed). Eventually two tables became available but both tables weren't cleaned and still had dirty dishes from the previous customers. Those dirty tables sat there for 20 mins. I saw 3 groups of people who just left because it took too long. The store was busy but could have been managed better if they had an extra hand helping with dine ins. The focus was more towards Door Dash and not the dine ins at all. 3 stars because the food was good and they were nice.

Diner Review №181

Very personable, we dined outside , which it is a beautiful day for it. I had Panang Chicken Curry which was amazing flavors. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Diner Review №182

Fresh food & great service

Diner Review №183

Diner Review №184

I both eat and delivery from here. The best Thai in the county and some of the best customer service in town. Easy to order from and work with. Food is always ready in a timely manner but never rushed. You can tell there's heart and soul in it.

Tonight I had the Sweet Chili Scallops and they were delicious.
