    Ah, I'm so happy to find good Thai/Malaysian food. It's far for me, but it's worth driving. I am thankful to my friend who introduced me to this place. Ms Dang was our server, and she was very friendly and professional. I also took a picture of the menu, which was filled with yummy dishes. We started with soup, which was delicious and served hot. After the soup, we ordered appetizers, chicken satay, and good spring rolls This time, we decided to try yellow curry, and we are so happy we tried something different. Ms Dang kept checking if we liked or needed anything else. Good Service and good food, we left very happy. This place has a big parking area, which makes life much easier. Please try this place and support your local neighborhood businesses. Thx :)

    Loved this spot!! Have been on the hunt for a new Thai place and this spot is both Thai and Malaysian so their menu caters to both cuisines and offers different options than a typical Thai spot. We got the tom kha soup, hokkien mee noodles, and the basil chili salmon. The soup was so good, super light and warm and filled with veggies. The noodles were also super tasty, they didn't skimp on the shrimp. The salmon fell a bit short for us, it was on the sweeter side and we didn't realize it when ordering but the fish was deep fried, and honestly grilled would've been nice/better. Overall loved this spot, but anticipate a wait on weekends since they have limited tables.

    Craving for tom yum soup and anything curry on a Xmas shopping day. Been to this place once. Friendly wait person, speedy food delivery and plenty tables. I had ordered a small tom yum soup with chicken to start then green curry with veggie and tofu. The lunch menu is a couple of dollars less and includes a small salad. Green salad at Asian restaurant with their special thousand island like dressing always delightful. The soup was definitely more than one person can have with mushrooms, tomatoes, bamboo shoots, lemongrass. The spicy and tangy taste always helps me recover from a cold. The green curry had me with the eggplant. Overall, it was a pleasant lunch with plenty of leftover for another meal.

    There are many Asian options in this area, but many are meat focused, like Korean BBQ, and so forth. Thai is always a great choice for us pescatarians, and Basil Delight was a nice choice. I ordered a Melacca cauliflower, which like many dishes, came with a choice of meat. I chose tofu, and was delighted with how it was cooked. This wasn't exactly health food, but very satisfying, like good bar food. The Wife also had a veggie and tofu dish instead of her usual Pad See Ew, and was happy with it. The place was bright and open, and pretty empty, and the service was just ok, considering it was just us and some take-out orders.

    Sometimes you try some place new and then you "land on landmine." This is one restaurant that I wish I didn't try. I frequent this plaza often and usually I'd go for the Shanghainese restaurant but wanted to try something new so opted for this restaurant which surprisingly has a 4 star average rating (how?). The restaurant states it's Malay and Thai food which is great because I love Malaysian and Singaporean food even more than Thai food but wow that's a big mistake by itself. One of the stable food for Malaysian/Singaporean food is Chow Kueh Teow so I ordered it but that was probably the biggest mistake of the day. Not only it has nothing right with wrong noodle, wrong sauce, wrong flavor and worst of all it's way too wet whereas Chow Kueh Teow should've been dry. The basil seafood was another letdown. It mostly gives you the imitation crab meat which was too thick to be stir fried properly so the inside was not cooked. They also only gives you two tiny shrimps. There was no squid or fish cake in most proper Thai restaurant. Lastly the tamarind prawns were better than the other two but the prawns were too small and too few to make it change my rating. This is definitely not authentic Thai food so if you expect good Thai food don't come here. The restaurant is clean and service is typical so I won't fault them on these. Go to any other restaurant or even the food court in this plaza.

    Amazing Halal Thai Food! The service is super fast and the food arrives hot and fresh! Loved the fish fillet especially because of its amazing taste and the texture. The Fried rice and the chicken were good too.

    Nice Thai restaurant. Good food. Great service. The lady gave our group much attention and was patient with all our requests. Favorite was the papaya salad.

    Good local spot, located in a plaza right next to the outlets with lots of parking. It can get busy during the holidays when there are a lot of people coming to shop! Food was good. Service was good. Good restaurant for some local Thai.

    This place is so underrated! It's a blend of Malaysian food and Thai food. We ordered the fish fillet and the crab and shrimp fried rice. Both were so good! I usually get the chow kuei tiao which is quite delicious! Service is good. Prices are also very reasonable.

    Great food and great service. Food was out quick after ordering and is all very delicious. There was so much that we will be eating for dinner tonight! Bookmark this for your next visit!

    We came in Sunday afternoon at 1p and the restaurant was packed! Hopefully you're not as naive as my group, but we were rushed to wait outside before even putting our name on the waitlist (at this point, we didn't know there was a waitlist! It's at the counter) Food: Tamarind fish: super thin outer layer, and it has the perfect amount of crunch. Think of it as Asian fish and chips but better!! We loved the sauce, and it was so yummy with the veggies dipping in. Basil eggplant: I don't usually like eggplants, but these were really good. The sauce was tangy, but it wasntt overwhelming at all. I believe this came with a rice! Panag curry: the portion was shockingly small, and the beef was overcooked. It comes with green beans. This was a miss for us, probably wouldn't order this again and will try the yellow curry next time. Pineapple fried rice: the shrimps were small, but they are super crunchy and not overcooked. This was a pretty standard dish, not much to say. Overall, the bill came out to 70 bucks post tip, which honestly is pretty good. Our group left full and pleased!

    Egg rolls.

    I came over to California, for my husband's doctors appointment. We stopped for the night in Livermore on our way back home, and we both wanted Chinese Food. We ordered takeout and they were Zippity fast!! We were starving. We ordered Pad Thai, chicken Satay and veggie egg rolls. The food was delicious, really good!! Yum! Their sauces of Chili sauce, satay sauce, soy sauce were delicious. Very good food. We enjoyed our dinner after we found a place to camp overnight in our camper van. Food hit the spot. Thanks!

    All the vegetarian options!!!

They actually have three (3) locations in the Bay Area; Walnut Creek, Danville, and the location I am reviewing, San Ramon. This particular location opened its doors back in early-2018 and has had very positive feedback up to the present day. Located in an upscale strip mall on the corner of Bollinger Canyon Rd & Alcosta Blvd in the Marketplace Shopping Center in San Ramon, this place is just a few minutes from Highway 680. Parking was fairly easy to find, even during our visit which was on Saturday 8/8/2026 at around 7:15pm. Even though my lady and I didn't make reservations, we were seated immediately even with as busy as it was. The interior dining area is small but offers ample space complete with various booths and tables for small and larger guests. The beige walls with the brown ceilings and hanging lights really gave the overall appearance a cozy yet upscale one. Keep in mind that this place can get loud (mainly during the busy nights and weekends) so if you're looking for a quiet, romantic dining experience, this might not be your best option. As for their menu, they offer a very respectable number of choices. This includes appetizers, soups, salads, noodles, fried rice, curry dishes, and main entrées. Many of the traditional Thai favorites are found here as well as tofu dishes (for the vegans) and seafood dishes (for the pescatarians). As for our entrées, my lady went with their "Pad See Ew" which included pan-fried thick rice noodles with beef (as her protein), Chinese broccoli and eggs in sweet black soy sauce. I went with their "Seafood Hot Plate" which offered prawns, scallops, calamari, fish and mussels with peppercorn, bell pepper, onions, ginger root and basil sauteed in a spicy sweet chili paste sauce. We both split a side of rice and for drinks, I went with a "Thai Iced Tea" while she ordered a diet soda. I will say that for it being a Saturday evening, our food came out in less than 10 minutes! That's a huge plus considering how hungry we both were. As for our dishes, hers was cooked to perfection with the perfect amount of sweet, salty, and savory in the noodles, veggies, eggs, and beef. Mine though was a bit on the spicy side. I've had my fair share of Thai dishes over the past few decades, and this seafood hot plate took "hot" to a whole other level of spicy. I also wanted to add that there wasn't a whole abundance of seafood as I found way more bell peppers and onions than anything else. However, service was top notch while the prices were lower than many other Thai restaurants in the Bay Area. All in all, I am giving "Andaman Thai" an above average four-star rating. While her dish was excellent with a decent amount of meat, mine was just average at-best with not enough seafood. This place does have fairly decent hours of operation being open seven days a week from 11am-2:30pm (for lunch) and 5-9pm (for dinner). I definitely see myself returning and possibly checking out their other locations. But for small or large parties, I highly recommend checking them out.

We started with drinks - Thai iced tea, Thai iced coffee, and fresh coconut- and then ordered an assortment of appetizers and one entrée, the always popular chicken pad see ew. Our favorite appetizers were the roti with curry, chicken satay and crispy angellette chicken wings, though the others (like cream cheese puffs) were also finished by our hungry crew. The pad see ewe was also good, but was mostly packed to go. Thai meals always end with dessert in our family, and this dinner was not an exception. We ordered fried banana with ice cream and sticky rice with mango, with the latter being a clear winner. Total bill was over $150 after tax and a generous tip, as the service was very good. Bathrooms were clean.
