As someone of Cambodian & Thai heritage, I feel it's important to offer some cultural context before getting into this review. This restaurant clearly caters to the local demographic, which influences its interpretation of Southeast Asian dishes. I ordered the Lao style papaya salad & requested it to be Lao spicy. Unfortunately, the execution fell short. Rather than incorporating the heat into the dish through proper pounding, they simply tossed in five whole chilies. An approach that bypasses the essence of Lao flavor, where spice & umami should meld into the sauce. I understand the restraint with padaek due to its bold aroma, but if a guest specifically asks for Lao style with Lao level heat, authenticity should be the priority. The fire prawns, marketed as a dish "for spicy lovers" were another letdown in terms of heat. While the flavor was delicious, it leaned toward sweetness with no kick. Even my 9-year-old, who has a very low spice tolerance, had no issue eating it. On a more positive note, the pad see ew, rare beef salad, and Lao sausage were solid & enjoyable. Would I return? Personally, no. While the food isn't bad by any means, it lacked the authenticity I was hoping for & the portion sizes didn't justify the price point for me. read more

I love coming to 11th Tiger for Thai food in Danville. They are also a great take out option. Their food comes out very quick and is reasonably priced. I have not tried something here that we did not like! The only down side or thing to consider is that they would not be the best for large parties. We had a party of 6 and I would not go larger than that. They also have outdoor seating and I believe they are dog friendly as well. read more

Finally we got around to try this small local Thai restaurant we've been eying for a long time. We enjoyed the flavor of most of the dishes, but many dishes we ordered seemed a little on the sweeter side. Penang curry and papaya salad were delicious. Service was on point and restaurant was clean. No surprise it's a local favorite. Will come back to try more dishes. read more

Flavorful Thai takeout with some unique dishes. Portions are generous. Emerald beef was a unique beef dish full of flavor with large tender slices of ribeye. The pumpkin curry was richly flavored with many pieces of pumpkin which I loved. The Tumeric Claypot Chicken was another favorite with tender chicken and flavorful rice. Unfortunately the Kapow chicken and the noodles were a miss for me. The Kapow chicken was a bit dry and too saucy for my taste. The noodles were disappointing as the noodles were very soft and mushy and stuck together. I'm happy I tried the place for takeout and may try the restaurant in person. read more

11th Tiger - Got my food - Thai Near Me - Danville, California

This little treasure has great food and fast service. It's a great place for a quick lunch.

The best Thai food ever. Super friendly staff. Love going here. It's easier to pickup since it's a bit cozy.

4.5 stars 11th Tiger is an amusingly-named, small, narrow Thai street food restaurant in Danville, which has somehow won recognition from local critics as one of the best Thai restaurants in the Bay Area! I was curious to see for myself, and we started with the Yum Mango, a salad made of mango cubes, crispy shrimp, peanuts, toasted coconut, red onions, cilantro, mint, and greens, all in a spicy and tangy chili lime dressing. For our mains, the Bomb Bay was a stir-fry of prawns, scallops, calamari, breaded basa fish fillets, green beans, bell peppers, onions, and fresh peppercorns, all in a spicy, sticky southern Thai garlic chili sauce. The Khao Soi was a Northern-style egg noodle soup in a creamy coconut curry broth with chicken slices and vegetables, all garnished with crispy noodles on top; and the Pumpkin Curry was a super creamy curry with (slightly undercooked) kabocha, bell peppers, basil, prawns, and chicken breast slices. All of these dishes had standard Thai flavor profiles, but my favorite dish of all was the unique and delicious Claypot Turmeric Chicken Rice, made with a fragrant turmeric-seasoned rice topped with boneless roast chicken thighs, all served in a claypot along with a side of raw onion and cucumber salad. The rice in this dish was perfectly seasoned and had a fragrant rhizome flavor, and the chicken on top was perfectly spiced. Overall, the food here was on point, though the Thai flavors were somewhat simplified/Americanized for my tastes (and not the best I've had in the Bay Area). The value for the food, however, was unbelievable, and the service was super friendly too! read more

Great food and service. We came to this place for a Saturday get together dinner with our family friends. We were a party of 8. Without making any reservations, I was a little hesitant about our chances of getting a table indoors. Fortunately, we were early enough and we're seated at their big 8-seater table. We ordered a variety of dishes. I didn't get a photo of was the Crying Tiger - Grilled rib eye steak, which all the kids loved. They served it medium well. Good flavor and tender juicy meat. Our two young girls were the biggest fan. The two young boys enjoyed the Tiger wings. We ended up ordering a second one cause the boys couldn't get enough of it. I always get Somtum, when I see it on the menu. We ordered the spicy version. It was truly spicy! Triggered our senses and got us sweating during winter time. I love the flavor, but couldn't handle too much of the chili. Could've used a few more shrimp in the somtum given that they charge extra for shrimp. I liked the minced chicken, Devil fish, and Roasted duck curry. It went very well with the Thai fried rice. The adults, who were supposed to "take it easy" on the carbs, ended up ordering another serving of white rice to complement the viands. This was after ordering two serving of the Thai Fried Rice. We have the rest of the weekend to burn it off! Overall, we had a great dining experience having great food, good company in this homely-style resto. read more

? - Why give a 4 star rating to a restaurant where you pretty much lambasted much of yr food. This is to Suzi Y. your review should be a 2 or 3 at best. If you are not happy, then don't rate these restaurants you screw up the ratings and its hard to tell what is really good , weak, or poor. just to my point, someone named KWAN A asked at the end of their rating which was really a 3 star at best, and he gave it a 4 star,...asked why the restaurant had a hi rating. Well duh. You all aren't considering your rating tool, the STARS. there were numerous reviews that suggested the place should have a lower rating. update: we ordered take out at your restaurant last night 10/26/25, against my wishes. ordered the honey pork on skewer. tough, somewhat dried out not much flavor and it came with no sauce for the cooking process just some add on chili sauce. ...my friend ordered another dish and she was pleased with it. so this is why i am not happy with your restaurant nor how people review your place and others. giving 4 STARS to a place and then saying it doesn't have good food, etc. not very smart. read more

Recently had a bad encounter with service here. My wife and I come here from time to time, and actually really like the food - a bit on the pricier side for the amount you get but the quality is consistently great and there's some unique dishes. However this is our first time coming with her parents and our 7 month old baby. Upon walking in, the waitress/counter lady asked us how many people. We said 4 people and a baby in a stroller. She looked immediately frustrated and asked in a stern, louder voice "So 5?" We clarified it's 4 adults and a baby, but the baby doesn't need a seat since he's in the a stroller. It's a reasonable ask - something we've been doing for months at other restaurants in case servers want to sit us in a table of 4 with the stroller on the side. Some sit us at a table of 6, some ask us to put the stroller away and put the car seat on the chair. We also want to avoid places that add mandatory 18%+ tip for parties of 5 of more. This lady proceeds to roll her eyes, cuts us off while we explain, and ask "So how many people?" I just responded with 5. When the in-laws rolled in with the stroller, this lady's demeanor flipped from an annoyed face to a happy face, and kept smiling at the baby. Super bizarre. Not sure what caused her to tick and flip 180. Didn't even seem like a stressful night considering half the place was empty on a Sunday evening. read more

Great Tai food. The BBQ pork, yellow curry and pad tai are our favorites. The place is very small, so we prefer take-out.

A very solid Thai restaurant. They have all of the traditional dishes that you are used to, and some new ones too. It is pretty small though, so ordering to go is a good option if you don't like eating in close proximity with others. It is pretty expensive for what you get, and while I thought the food was fine, I did not think it was great. Given we are in the bay area, there are many Thai restaurants you can choose from. read more

Delicious!! What a fantastic little gem of a restaurant. Food is excellent. Definitely get the chicken skewers with the peanut sauce...YUM! Everything we had was great. Great job! read more

Well I liked the place over all but they should really mention the spice level of the food. My both sons can handle spicy food but they were sweating after eating drunken noodles Staff is super nice and friendly. It's tiny place inside.

11th Tiger - Pad Thai w/Big Prawns, Chicken sate - Thai Near Me - Danville, California

The casual appearance of this nondescript restaurant front caught my eyes. Its dining area was narrow and not very comfy but outside dining area seems better. Curry Puffs ($10) came in threes with very thin flaky shell and quite small. Biting into it, it was packed tightly with potato fillings maybe some pumpkin but with little hint of curry or any spice. The filling was too sweet and bland for our liking. We were also taken aback by the paper tray it came in. 5 spice tiger ribs arrived next and had that home-cooked appearance. It consisted of four quite meaty St Louis Ribs with 5 spice seasoning/broth, some broccoli/carrots on the side. Unfortunately, the ribs were quite sweet although tender and tasted okay. We also ordered Claypot Tumeric Chicken Rice. It came in a glazed claypot. To call it claypot rice is misleading. The chicken and rice were cooked separately and then laid inside the pot when done (probably to minimize cleaning and cooking time) and arrived mildly warm. No crispy rice to scrape at the bottom of this claypot. The tumeric rice was very fragrant, lemongrassy and delightful. Pieces of bbq chicken (mostly thigh meat) were very tender as well. Portion was smallish. Unfortunately, the rice was sweet as was everything we tried that day. read more

WE've dined at over sixty, yes 60 Thai/Malaysian Cafe's over decades. My Spouse is Thai and his Mother from the Farmlands in North Thailand. So I feel introduced correctly not american tastes of just safe bet of..."PAD THAI" so much more than that are NOT Scary or fearful not knowing what you are eating in front of you. No I don't eat crickets nor some fish but other items from Thai Cuisine not waterbuffalo either, but if NOT THAI CHILI HOT, I will try. Did you notice how Beau the veggies are cut into flora or pretty shapes including pineapples and coconuts into tropical dreams. Some are extra unique and hard artistry work done on some meals for us all allowing. This rest/Cafe' is on Diablo's top and other including SF Gate of places to try and it IS a hole in the wall next behind a Chev Fuel Station with a busy little alley for outside protected with waterscape for dining away from others. AFter having over sixty including some famous farmhouse SouthWest locations of other Thai Cuisine I look forward to Eleventh Tiger for a variety of reasons besides of just their cooking style and offerings. Yes Thai Tea dining partner hot Iced version while I enjoyed Hot Thai Tea less the sweeted cream no matter if it was condensed, or sweetned version or coconut cream or just powered creamer made in advance, this was typically the norm. Ice is hard to find overseas there and exception for westernized hotels, plenty of ice here upon request. They do have wine including local vines. Thai beer and Thai Coffee and american version. With a couple of pages instead of one for lunch dinner is complete even with apps (NO not the phone kind). Most have buddah's of some sort candled or fruit offerings and sometimes incense honored prior to service or start of day, visible to public. Some of the apps are very very thought out and tasty. read more

Love the 11th Tiger. Not sure that 11th Tiger means, but it means good Thai in my book. Have been curious about this place for a while. Decided to try it on a cold Wednesday night. We ordered two drunken noodles, one pork amd another chicken and a Pad Thai with pork. Food was very tasty, great color and very fresh. Service was outstanding! We'll be back to what is now my favorite Thai place in D-Ville. 11th Tiger!!! read more

3.5 stars rounded up to 4 stars. Ordered takeout from the restaurant. I had high expectations as the restaurant has a high rating. However, the food fell short of my expectation. Although they had a fairly large selection, I felt like some of the dishes I ordered were only slightly better than average while some dishes were pretty average/underwhelming.. Curry Puff - Fairly disappointing. The filling was skimpy. Tiger Wings - Good flavors. Yum Mango - Pretty refreshing. Yum Talay - Fairly delicious seafood salad. Drunken Noodles with Tofu - I didn't care much for this. Didn't taste that good. Emerald Beef - Tasty dish but spicy. Bengal - Nice favors and assortment of seafood. Naked Eggplant - Decent tasting but nothing special. Overall the food was decent but it fell short of my expectation. A bit puzzling as to why the restaurant has such a high rating . read more

Thank you for the food Tiger #11. It was good, but next time we'll try the next in line. The locale is great. The decor and ambiance quite pleasant, and the weather when we went was fabulous enough for us to sit outside. The food was ordered promptly and our questions met with prompt recommendations - all of which were decent. But nothing stood out. From the branded tiger dishes to the usual suspects like sticky rice with mango, everything was just... decent. Don't get me wrong, for a quick stop, it was fine, but if I need another Tiger, I won't be rushing back to the 11th! read more

11th Tiger - Fried chicken with Basil...very very hard..hard to chew...over cooked - Thai Near Me - Danville, California

Insanely good prices for the amount of food you get. 11th Tiger is your spot for classic Thai eats, conveniently located in downtown Danville. Our group of 6 dropped in Sunday evening and were able to get a table right away. (as of March 2022) For COVID safety purposes, masks are required, hand sanitizer is provided, and seating is limited. Outdoor and indoor seating both available. The decor is shabby chic, esp with the steel panels lining the walls. A little cramped, but cozy enough. PAD SE EW (sic): About standard. Fairly generous noodle portions w an abundance of protein and fresh bean sprouts. Sauce was the right amount of sweet and savory. Folks here are SO NICE!! Upon entry, our host ushered us in warmly, chatted with us for a bit, and introduced us to a round of red, clear alcohol (which I presume is Ya Dong, Thai herbal liquor). Y'all... This is sweet, floral, and... Weirdly medicinal. Several of us had been to Thailand before and had never heard of this. We ordered three rounds before our apps even came out-- made for a fun experience! We appreciated the hospitality and will definitely be back. read more

Came here on a Friday night for dinner and this place was packed! Street parking is plenty around the area. When we got there, there was a line and we were unsure of how to check in. After a few minutes were able to catch someone who mentioned to sign up on a waiting list. We did so and waited outside for a bit till we got seated outside. The restaurant closes at 9 pm and the kitchen closes at 8:30 pm ish so definitely would be mindful of that. I decided to go with the spicy eggplant with brown rice and it was delicious!!! Not too spicy and the authentic flavors, I genuinely was enjoying every bite. Portions were decent and I ended up having to take about a third of it home since I was stuffed! Already looking forward to coming back and trying more dishes! read more

11th Tiger is located in North side of Downtown Danville right by the Chevron Gas station in a small shopping strip, but easily found by the lights and bright signage. 11th Tiger offers a huge menu of delicious and authentic Thai flavors at a reasonable price. Food: 1. Drunken Noodles with beef {4/5 stars, $11} - Large flat rice noodles with an assortment of veggies in a light bean sauce. Delicious, soft noodles, with a kick of heat from the peppers. Beef was a little chewy and over done though:(. 2. Thai BBQ chicken {5/5 stars, $14} - A nice and flavorful juicy chicken thighs with a crispy BBQ exterior. With the added Thai chili sauce it added a perfect sweet addition to this chicken. Delicious. Service: Friendly and prompt. Food was made before scheduled time. Phone line was busy took multiple rings though. Overall: A delicious and well priced restaurant, offering a huge selection of authentic Thai street foods that can suit anyones needs. My new favorite restaurant! read more

I'm not sure how this place has 4.5 stars on Yelp. I came here for lunch because of the stellar reviews, but it was a disappointment. Upon arriving, we were greeted by an unhappy employee; we didn't feel welcomed. We sat down, ordered, and waited 20-25 minutes for our food even though we were the only table there. The food was good, but it wasn't anything special. I ordered the pad see ew and they charged $1 extra for tofu?! Most Thai places don't charge anything extra for the tofu/vegetarian option. The service was lacking. There were 2 employees and they didn't check on us at all. They were too busy chatting amongst themselves. Sorry, I won't be returning. read more

Awesome, quality and reasonable food which we thoroughly enjoyed for a vegetarian! Better to make reservation ahead. Will go again.

Camera eats first... well unless you were hungry like me. Sorry Yelpers, the smell was too tantalizing, and my craving had bested my intuition to take a photo to post on Yelp. I was looking for a new Thai restaurant, that's close to the freeway and a quick drive from my new home. While I was Yelping, i discovered 11th Tiger. After all the glowing reviews, I decided to take a look at the menu and order. Well, I guess I wasn't fully ready, as I impulse ordered. I ordered a Lunch portion of their Chicken Pad Se Ew ($11), Angel Wings ($13), and Thai Iced Tea ($3.50). It was right at noon, so they had told me 20-25 minutes for my order. It was a little longer than my stomach wanted to wait, but I saw that there was a Trader Joe's across the street. Win-win. After my brief grocery shopping trip (remember not to shop while hungry. I literally used the full 20-25 minutes), I made my way to the restaurant. There was ample parking along the street, and very easy to find parking. It is, however, right next to a school, so quite a lot of foot traffic along these 3 blocks of shops that make up a nice downtown area. The person working the front acknowledged me upon arrival, and told me she would be with me shortly. I had noticed that they had 2 take out orders, which re-enforced the idea that they get a lot of casual customers due to the value of their menu. Everything looked good. I would say that it's probably the best Thai Food along the Danville, San Ramon, Alamo area. There aren't too many other restaurants nearby to compete, but I think it deserves a solid 4.5-5 stars. Wil need to come back to make sure that the food is consistent. I did notice that they had Khao Soy on their menu. Might need to take an in-person visit, on a colder day to sample it. read more

This is by far my favorite Thai restaurant around, so good I happily make the 20 minute drive to get there. The food is delicious every time, we have never been dissatisfied. We especially love the pineapple fried rice, chicken wings, and pad se ew. We usually pick it up as takeout, it is a rather small restaurant and on busy days/times can be packed with people. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and I really can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Highly recommend! read more

Delicious Thai food. I ordered a few items from their signature line up...Fire Prawns, Pumpkin Curry, and Emerald Beef. Every dish was so flavorful. They did not skimp on seasoning. Fire Prawns - huge shrimp covered with layers of seasoning. Quite full after eating a few of these. Pumpkin Curry - my personal favorite of the three. Curry was thick and very flavorful. Many pieces of pumpkin in this dish. Sauce was so delicious, I could drink it. Emerald Beef - yummy sauce. The pieces of steak in this dish ended up being more tender than expected, which is a huge win. The servers were nice and the food came out in a timely fashion. They have a cute patio area outside and a few tables inside. read more
