Mystery slime protein

Worst Thai food of my life. The tom Kha came with slimy mystery protein, def not chicken, canned brown caps, no straw mushrooms and the sweetest least flavorful broth I've ever had? 0/10 :( do not recommend

PAD ZEE EWW CRISPY TOFU, PAD ZEE EWW PORK BELLY, FRIED RICE CHICKEN, GREEN PAPAYA SALAD

So good! Probably the most authentic Thai restaurant in SLO. Ordered two Pad See Ew. One with pork belly, and the other with fried tofu. The pork belly was nice and thinly sliced. The fried tofu was fried and delicious. I love how it had there was gai lan vegetable in it. That's how you know it's authentic. The other Thai restaurants usually put broccoli and carrot. It has that perfect smoky flavor, which I absolutely love. Ordered the Thai style papaya salad. It was very good! Had green beans in it and spinach as a topping. You can just tell they're not holding back on certain ingredients. Perfect sourness and umami. The fried rice was really good as well. We bought that for our toddler. He's usually very picky, but he sure ate this one! Another thing that definitely confirmed that they're authentic? The chili sauce they provided on the side! That perfect sauce that us southeast Asians eat with steak and seafood! Sooooo goood!! I would like a whole bottle if you offer that. Again, I've never tried a Thai restaurant in SLO that had this type of sauce provided. Coming from the Central Valley, this really hit home. Overall, yes I recommend this place 100%. We would definitely order from here again.

Drunken Noodles and Har Gow
Susie K.

My husband and I were walking to the Bao place, but the menu caught our eyes. It's been really difficult for us to find good Asian food out in the Central Coast. We decided to give it a shot and we were SO pleasantly surprised. We got medium heat, and although it wasn't spicy enough for us, we were still shook that we felt a bit of a kick from it! (All the places we've eaten at on the CC so far lacked the spiciness from back home.) The Har Gow was actually really tasty as well! We're not big eaters, but we finished EVERYTHING! We're so excited to come back with our friends!

Green curry
Jenny S.

The perfect lunch I happened to stumble upon on my first visit to the SLO public market! As I walked around deciding what I wanted, I saw their sign for a special, green curry, and had to try it ---green curry: DELICIOUS I hope this isn't a temporary special! The level of spicy was perfect (although probably too spicy for other people, but this is how I like my thai food). I also LOVE their addition of a fried curl topping Will be coming back next time I'm in town to try their other dishes!

Agreed!
Reno U.

Located in the SLO Public Market. Very friendly and patient worker as we contemplated our options throughout the market. Nice spot for us to discover driving up north from SoCal! And oh yeah the Pad Thai was excellent and the Thai Tea was tasty and kept me awake driving. Spent around $25. Not fancy, but clean and friendly vibes in a public market environment. 5 stars for a public market establishment!

Chicken

I've been a loyal customer for years coming at least once a week. I've always loved this place. I came in as usual Thursday night and ordered my go to pad Thai with tofu. The lady at the counter was very rude and on her phone texting when I arrived no hello or anything. When I received my food it was super spicy. I was going to let it go and ordered more rice. As I was waiting another customer brought his food back because he asked for med hot and it was also inedible. The girl at the counter also treated him very rude arguing that's what he ordered. He ended up just getting a refund because he didn't have time to wait. I asked if mine could be remade she didn't say anything just snatched it away and yelled at the cook. When it came back the second time it had no sauce and CHICKEN and tofu instead of the vegan meal I ordered. I didn't open it until I got home so I threw it away. When she last gave me my order I said tanks so much for remaking it she just glared at me with no response. Sadly I won't be back after this experience.

Crispy Tofu Pad Thai
Maria O.

This restaurant is inside SLO Public Market and parking can be limited. I was warmly greeted right away and questions were answered in a nice, professional manner. I ordered the silken tofu, veggie egg rolls and crispy tofu pad Thai. The silken tofu had a great flavor with a hint of spice. I liked the texture of the tofu and would definitely order it again. The egg rolls were crispy but not saturated with oil. The dipping sauce added additional flavors. The pad Thai had enough spice to taste it but didn't overwhelm the dish. The flavor was on point and I cannot wait to go back.

Pad Zee Ew with Pork Belly (10/10!)
Tiffany L.

**Visited on Sat. 4/27/2024 I've been meaning to try Baht for awhile, and to be honest, I'm mad that I haven't tried it sooner. I loved the conveniency of the self kiosk, but the owner still checked in on me and my boyfriend while ordering which was super kind of him! Baht is located within SLO Public Market, and if you're entering from the Tractor Supply entrance, you'll see Baht right away! There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, but there's also the option for take out. It can get a bit loud indoors, but if you're coming in during non rush hours, it's quite calm and nice. OKAY THE FOOD: My usual go to Thai food is pad see ew- it's just as good as Pad thai, but the thick noodles just taste better imo. My boyfriend had ordered pad thai with shrimp and it was pretty tasty! My pad see ew with pork belly was pretty delicious- I loved how there was a nice balance of noodles, protein and veggies! I noticed on the kiosk that you're able to adjust your food and change out ingredients (e.g., instead of pork belly you could do beef or tofu; there was an option to have with or without eggs/ veggies). I definitely plan on coming back- there's a few other items I want to try and I gotta try their thai tea!

Pork belly pad see ew.
Nicole P.

This place is a MUST if you are in the SLO Public market. If you're a Thai food lover, or a Thai tea lover, give Baht a try. I have to say it's my favorite on the central coast. The owner was there when we came by and was so friendly and accommodating, he gave us a sample of their Pandan refresher and it was just what we needed on a hot day. The pad see ew was delicious, the spice is on the side so you can adjust to your liking. I'd have preferred more pork belly but it was cooked well. The pad Thai was hands down the best I've had in the US. The flavors were authentic and well-developed (you can tell they use real tamarind). That and the Thai tea were my favorite purchases that day. The seating on the top floor can't be missed, definitely one of my favorite meals in a long time!

You can order at the kiosk or with a person.

We ordered the Tom Kaw & Papaya Salad. Reasonable portions served cafeteria style, they were good. The Tom Kaw Soup was a light sweet broth with sweet plump shrimp (they add an extra amount for shrimp). I only wish there had been more cabbage. Seasoned well, a good soup. The salad was delicious with crisp thin papaya, tomatoes and a tasty sauce. It's also served with fresh spinach leaves. They were busy but service was quick & friendly. It's at the Public Market & we sat inside, so no ambiance really. It's also pretty loud, so if that bugs you, you might try eating outside or taking it home. Bathrooms available & clean. Parking can be difficult at times.

Pad Thai with vegan duck
Paula F.

Located in the SLO Public Market, Baht is a good choice for vegetarians. My daughter and I visited on a Saturday evening. Parking was easy. Seating was plentiful. There was no wait to order. Vegetarian options included items with a choice of tofu, vegan duck or veggies. We opted for the Pad Thai with vegan duck and the Papaya Salad with tofu (customized order). The wait for our food was a little longer than we expected but it was with the wait. The Pad Thai was perfectly spicy and the salad was delicious. Portion size was good. Pricing was reasonable. Service was outstanding. The gentleman who took our order was patient, friendly and very helpful.

Baht menu

I will definitely be returning to Baht when I need my fix of Pad Thai! I wanted to try it ever since the new SLO Public Market opened, and I invited a buddy out for lunch to share the experience. I like the whole experience at the SLO market, but it is all basically take-out food, and there is a bit of do0it0yourself involved! We met for a late lunch at one o'clock and sure enough, it wasn't too crowded. Time goes slowly when you are standing up waiting for your order. I got Pad Thai, since I eat it at every Thai restaurant I go to and love to try whatever take the place has on a traditional favorite! This was very very good Pad Thai, a large serving with a hearty flavor. The amount of spice was just right, some heat, but not smoldering! I do prefer a bit more greenery and more peanuts on top, but this Pad Thai hit the spot. My buddy got the chicken with noodles, and it was a generous portion with sublime spice also. The spicy, homey food had us slurping away in approved noodle-style eating! We loved eating outside at a picnic table, even though it was a really windy day. The SLO market was crowded, with people of all ages from toddlers to retirees running around and sampling the cornucopia of goods on offer. SLO Public Market continues to be a moveable feast, and I look forward to exploring more.

Baht & Tanya, the owner, are real winners. Amazing fresh Thai eats with great service.

Local Take: Wow...great Homestyle Thai food in a food court in SLO-town...along with fresh reasonably priced eats! Who would have predicted this? Not me. While there are tons of Thai places in SLO County, it is really hard to find homestyle food...and the only one that this place rivals is a tiny Farmers Market vendor who also crafts homemade eats. Baht not only is homestyle but puts modern twists on both food prep. & the menu itself. My Thai Curry came out simply dreamy, along with a puffed egg on top [which was new to me]. The Curry has a long name, which was Pinto Box Pork Shoulder Jungle Curry. It was a perplexing name, but after a few tentative nibbles, I just engulfed it like the old "Blob" movie...in which a relative played the staring role decades ago...JK. I initially wanted the soup, but they were out, and Pad Thai sounded a bit too pedestrian...so PBPSJC was it. I did wolf down some yummy Mushroom Char Sui Bing's Bao Buns from next door as an appetizer before the PBPSJC, and they really complimented each other. Not to mention washing it all down with Perfect Scoop's Buffalo Expresso & Cherry Icecream afterward. What a nice way to cool off after a moderately spicey curry meal. Bahts curry was just the right balance of spicey, savory, & complexity. They also had the right amount of Jasmine Rice with the fresh food. The curry was so yummy that I did not even take one pic of it! In the kitchen itself, they had some ultramodern rotating Wok-like drums that they quick cooked their wonderful eats. Super cool & super yummy. This is yet another place in this food court that will see a lot of me! Thanks for the wonderful eats!

It wasn't too filling to where we lost our appetite for the main entrees. We got the grilled teriyaki salmon, fried rice, and the Mongolian plate. The fried rice came with crispy chicken and it was so good! The salmon had a little bit of crispiness to it which is good. The Mongolian plate wasn't too spicy but we were able to add some chili oil to make it a little more spicy. The food we ordered was really good. They have a good variety of options which made me want to try more but I will just have to come back another time to try more. The service was good... the server was kind and tentative. At first, i was confused if someone was going to take our order but i soon realized that there were only two servers that day.

It was the end of a long, windy, and rainy drive all the way from 17-Mile Drive after heading down from San Jose. By the time I reached Morro Bay around 8:00 PM, my GPS and phone signal finally started to return. I then drove from west to east and reached San Luis Obispo, which I had visited the day before and which had left me with a very good impression. A kind police officer had even left a citation on my windshield with a $0 fine after I mistakenly parked my car in a commercial loading zone in Chinatown during a restricted time I hadn't realized was in effect. That Chinatown was small--perhaps the smallest I have ever seen--though I once thought the one in Singapore was the smallest, but then again, isn't all of Singapore essentially a Chinatown? I drove back into the heart of San Luis Obispo that evening, and instead of just finding a Domino's pizza, I decided to have a proper sit-down dinner. I searched for restaurants near me, and Thai Delight Cuisine popped up with a high score on Google Maps, only a few minutes away. I arrived around 8:20 PM, parked by the road, and paid the parking fee through a kiosk. The machine was as kind as the policeman and only charged me until 9:00 PM, after which parking was free. Once I entered the restaurant, every table was occupied except for one that hadn't even been cleaned yet. I was seated after being greeted kindly by three different waitresses. I was cold and sweaty from the drive, but I still ordered a glass of Thai tea for the caffeine, knowing I still had almost four hours of driving ahead of me. Unfortunately, the tea was too sweet and lacked the strong, aromatic flavor that a normal Thai tea should have; it felt more like a glass of sugar water. The atmosphere was very pleasant, though it was interesting to note that in the entire restaurant, only two of us were Asian, and we were the only two using chopsticks. Being in wine country, the restaurant had a large storage area with various wines that looked excellent, but I was in a hurry and not in the mood for a tasting. The Tom Yum seafood was served quickly, just a few minutes after I placed my order. It arrived in an aluminum pot that lacked the traditional middle chimney but was still good-looking. I took several pictures of the dish and then used my right hand to take the spoon to pour the soup, but I was "bitten" by the spoon--a very strong pain in my finger. I was confused and tried to take the spoon a second time, but I dropped it again. I realized the tip of the spoon had been resting directly over the fire underneath the pot and had become extremely hot. I had to grab some ice from my water to try and cool down my finger. The Tom Yum soup was neither spicy nor sour--perhaps just a hint of sourness, but far too little. It wasn't spicy at all, and the waitress didn't even ask for a spice level when I ordered. I wouldn't give this Tom Yum top marks if I were in Bangkok, as it was well below average, but honestly, it didn't taste bad on a cold night after a long drive. The seafood in the pot was very fresh, which I didn't expect to find in the middle of the mainland. The shrimp were big and tender, the crab was fresh, and the scallops and fish were all high quality; they used good sea fish rather than cheap basa. The only pity was that the soup was too sweet without that strong sour attack, which is the spirit of Tom Yum itself. I waited quite a while for the fried rice to arrive, only to find it contained the exact same ingredients: squid rolls, mussels, shrimp, crab legs, scallops, fish, and even tomatoes. It was identical to the Tom Yum, just in a different form. I wish they had told me the ingredients were the same when I ordered! The taste wasn't bad, even though the tomatoes and eggs were slightly burnt with dark marks and the rice was a bit too moist. Again, it was just way too sweet. So, in the end, I had a glass of sugar water, a pot of sugar soup, and a plate of sugar rice, and I got my finger burnt in the process--but I would still give it 4 stars. The seafood was incredibly fresh, the environment was very warming, and overall, I think I had a very good trip.

Thairiffic hits my bay area food snob craving on every level. Ironically, this was the last of the Thai restaurants I tried, and for good reason. It looks dinky and drab from the outside. The name is a dad joke (which I love). Visiting on a random weekday evening, the place was close to empty. As far as appearances go, the place didn't give much to hope for. However, I was beyond pleasantly surprised after receiving my order for pad see ew + pad thai. There were three things immediately apparent that made Thairiffic stand out: 1. Unlike (almost) every other Thai place, Thairiffic honored my request for maximum spice. There is a definite kick for their "Thai hot" level. 2. Unlike (almost) every other Thai place, the Pad Thai had a balanced flavor profile. Other places DOUSE the pad thai in sugar - yuck. This was a Pad Thai with savoriness, saltiness, sweetness, sourness, and spice. Yum. 3. The pad see ew had a distinct wok hei + golden mountain sauce flavor. Nice! I will also say that the shrimp in the pad thai was decently flavorful - same with the beef in the pad see ew. This is in contrast to the often "secondhand slap on" approach to the meats/proteins that I've had at other Thai places. Lastly, the price point here is I think the lowest of all the Thai places I've tried. If I could, I'd give it another star for that alone! The pad kee mao was okay. I think I'll stick to the pad thai and pad see ew. There's a decently sized menu with many other options (eg kao soi) which I'm excited to try. Above all else, I'm happy to find a go-to Thai place that hits the spot in SLO!
