Cha-Thai is our local go-to Thai diner, the ladies who take care of you are super nice and make you feel like you're having dinner at your favorite Aunt's place. The fresh rolls are always great and everything on the menu is good. If you have a low tolerance for hot spice be sure to ask her for mild to not spicy.. read more

Good Thai spot in San Ramon! Our go-to orders never miss: tofu pad thai, chicken panang, and the fresh spring rolls with shrimp -- all consistently delicious. We decided to try something new this time (pad see ew) and unfortunately it was a miss. The noodles were so overcooked they turned mushy, which was disappointing. Service is always great, the location is convenient, and the dining area is clean -- but I did have to drop my rating because of that dish. If we come back, I'll probably stick to our usual favorites. read more

We're always on the hunt to find the best beef panang and never realized this place was near us. We did take out so my review is just based on the food. Druken noodles with beef: 4/5 Very flavorful dish and full of chunky veggies which is my preference. Only thing was the noodles were too wide and needed more beef. Noodles were about two inches wide so I had to cut lots of the noodles to consume. Overall I would get this dish again. Chicken Pad Thai: 3.75/5 Pad Thai was not dry and had everything in it but the flavor just wasn't fully there. The flavor was a smidge off but it was still a decent noodle dish. Beef Panang: 4.5/5 I must say the panang here is pretty good. Lots of big veggies and beef. The sauce was delicious and paired well with the rice. Beef was thin slices so some where tender and some were a bit tough. We enjoy panang more with stew beef than slices but overall we liked the panang here. We definitely would like to return and eat in one day and try other things on the menu. Beef Panang with white rice: read more

Food was fine, but service was poor. Had to remind server 3x for things we requested. 1 order came late. They charged our group of 8 18% tip plus 3% for using a credit card. Thinking twice now to return with a larger group. read more

It's good food for a reasonable price and has wonderful service. We came here for Sunday lunch wanting to try a new place (our family has never visited). We wanted to get some Southeast Asian cuisine. We opted for my kids and hubby's favorites: Roti, Tom Yum , and Curry. I opted for my basil stir-fry, which I always enjoy with any type of meat. This place did not disappoint. It's a little westernized Thai flavor, with the added ingredients. But I think it makes it a more filling and delicious meal. read more

Wanting Thai food for lunch on a late Friday afternoon nearby Dublin and San Ramon, this place pop up. It is located within a shopping area anchored by Lucky's grocery store and situated beside a drive through Starbuck. Arriving just before 2 pm, the dining room had one other diner. Lately I have been focused on trying Khao Soi at different Thai restaurants. Although this dish shares common ingredients, it is prepared differently. Here they include two good sized chicken thighs in their thick curry broth with noodles along with crispy ramen noodles on top. Though the hard noodle tasted a bit stale. I had requested the spice level to be mild, just a taste. I felt the curry broth was at a crossroad of being too salty with a hint of sweetness. I had finished it despite being too salty for my taste. Wait person was friendly but appeared rushed to get through the lunch shift. There is a 3% service fee for using credit card for the bill. So pay by cash to avoid this fee. I would consider trying other dishes should I be in the area. read more

First time trying Cha Thai. The food had a good flavor but both the pineapple fried rice and pad thai noodles were soooo soggy. I recognize that with take out, the texture can change but this is the result of mushy rice and over cooked noodles. read more

My husband, niece and I had a nice time at Cha the other night! We went in Thursday evening and got special service as the only ones dining in so that was unexpected! Grandma Mani, as we were instructed to call her, was so friendly, helpful and also hilarious! Food was pretty good with decent portions. The only thing that missed the mark was that they were out of most of the dessert options and Thai iced coffee. We made it work though! Throughout the time, there were many people that came in for pickup so this is def a very popular spot! It is tucked away in a busy plaza and might get missed for that reason but we will be back for sure! read more

Fresh rolls and potstickers were good. Pineapple fried rice was terrible. It was bland and rice quality is poor. They need to use better quality rice. Also, they had HUGE chunks of vegetables in the fried rice and Panan curry (Cabagge especially was lazily cut and thrown in). They also charged surcharged for using credit card. No warning or notice provided before I gave my card. read more

We went down to San Ramon and got some boba in this area. My sister was asking me to get some food while traffic on the way home. We found this restaurant on Yelp and decided to come and try. The food are supper good, the rice fries, pad Thai were not smell any smoke like other place. Specialty, the lady was really nice and made us feel really enjoyed like we were home. Definitely, we will be back with our family. read more

This Thai place has been here about 1 year before Covid (2019) our server mentioned to us . Surviving Covid is huge. Next door to SUBWAY DIARY Queen and Starbucks drive thru this place has tons and tons of parking. Even though it looks like your pay upfront if your dining in you pay after your meal proper restaurant style. The lady working here was very happy go lucky, smiling and made sure our stay our first one ever was comfortable and superb . You don't get a second chance to make a first impression especially with a popular cuisine such as Thai with plentiful competition throughout the Bay Area. One thing was odd that they had the radio kinda loin with 94.9 I suggest they have like instrumental or Thai music on. The food was authentic Thai and everyone loved their meal. Not pricey at all either . They lady even insisted and took it on herself to put our leftovers in the containers for us, that's what you call service. I double the tax for tip like I usually do to make it simple and it was awesome Thai dinner. I will definitely be back . Not busy at all in a Friday night in June. Service is what stood out and complemented the overall dinner which had everyone full so we didn't order dessert on this night. I think I like it better than Andaman Thai in San Ramon but that's my personal opinion. Lastly the have Thai tea and beer and wine . read more

Excellent! I couldn't recommend a better Thai food place in all of the Bay Area. Delicious and fresh. The waitress was very welcoming and friendly. She kept my water glass filled the whole time and I love that. We got the Pad Thai Chicken and the Drunken Noodles with Chicken. An excellent combination of sweet and spicy. The ambience is nice but not fancy. A few booths and a bunch of tables. read more

Some of the BEST and Thai restaurants I've had the pleasure of eating at. We don't even live near San Ramon, but my wife discovered it and brought me here recently after her great experience. My top 3: the orange chicken is crispy as heck, I just love the crispiness and the tanginess of the dish. Grilled BBQ pork is simple and very flavorful marinate. Lastly the Thai style salad is a well portioned filled with nice chucks of steak mixed in with it. This is my second visit (seems like a monthly thing), the staff is very friendly and the restaurant has a kind of home feel, spacious and lastly the prices are very reasonable especially with how everything is going up in price. Definitely recommended! read more

Cha Thai is a delicious, authentic Thai food spot. Today, we had the pad Thai, chicken yellow curry, and their garlic chicken wings, which were all incredibly tasty and made fresh. As for the ambiance, the place is very clean, and so are the bathrooms. The service is also great, they came to check in with us every now and then, making sure everything was okay. Overall, Cha Thai is a delicious, well kept place that we will be coming to often! read more

We came here as we wanted some Thai food while we were near the location. The restaurant was short staffed and the front was managed by one lady single handedly. She still got us our seats, took our order and served us one of the best Thai food we have had in ages. I do hope they get more front staff soon. Will definitely come back again or put a go to order. read more

Friendly service. I ordered the Thaiboat noodle soup. I don't think they mixed pork blood with the broth as I think most people would be intimidated by it. However, I think that's what makes the broth super rich and flavorful. It does have somewhat of a pho type of flavor due to that. The meat ratio was excellent. I'm glad they provide chili on the side to enhance the spice level. Out of the noodle soup type of restaurants around the area in Dublin, this place is one of the few to offer this. I'd come back if I crave a thaiboat noodle soup but this wouldn't be my first option within the area. read more

I've been coming to this restaurant off and on for a few years now. I think the food quality took a little bit of a dip during Covid but it's back up and the food is excellent. Just ordered green curry and pineapple fried rice this evening both were great. read more

I should probably give this 3.5 stars. The wife was happier with her food than I was. Yes, we both got our standbys. Pad See Ew for her, Green Curry for me. Hers was tasty, and mine, well, I wasn't crazy about the veggie selection. Never been a green bean fan, and the cabbage was too chewy. Would have preferred eggplant, which is a common ingredient elsewhere. Still, green curry is like pizza for me. Even if I'm not crazy about it, I'll still eat it, and take home the leftovers. The vibe wasn't too classy, more like interchangeable with any other basic restaurant; when will we visit a place that actually plays Thai pop, rather than American top-40? Two house wines were on the menu, but they apparently discontinued it, or were out, despite the large number of glasses still behind the counter. Still, I could get a Sinha. The service was very casual, too much so. Very young fellow. So a fine neighborhood place, but we came from Livermore to try, and we'll stay closer to home next time. read more

I'm in love with this place! Food, ambiance, service - all A+ First, the food is yummy. Everything looks so good. Bright, vibrant colors and large portions. Everything tasted great, obviously freshly prepared with love. The mango salad is to die for. The sweetness of the fresh mango goes perfectly with the slightly tangy salad dressing. Next, I had the fresh rolls with shrimp. They are simply huge. Really tasty and the sauces were delicious. Finally, I ordered yellow curry chicken. A large bowl with tender chicken and potatoes and carrots in sauce. The owner, Monnie is so welcoming and sweet. I felt like I was having lunch at my moms home. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and spotless. They had mellow music playing. Overall, a terrific experience. read more

So nice that there's a Thai restaurant close to me that delicious. I drive by this l this plaza everyday and didn't realize it was there. The menu is simple, with a good mix of dishes. Most dishes you have a choice of chicken, pork, beef, vegetables or tofu. You can also choose shrimp for $3 more. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options. The service is also great! We ordered: Samosas - yum Spring Rolls - light and not greasy Tom Kha Soup (with chicken) - great flavor. Lots of veggies. Wish it was creamier but it's good. Eggplant Basil with Pork - Love the crispy basil leaves on top. The eggplant was cooked nicely. Not mushy. It had good texture. Pumpkin Curry with beef - flavorful sauce with big chunks of veggies Drunken Noodles with Tofu & Vegetables - delicious flavor Every dish was really good. I will definitely return. read more

We were actually thinking to dine at iTea with some ramen when we saw the unfortunate news that they only offered takeout. All right, COVID times... I understand. Right next door, this place was calling my name. Sure, I'll give it a try. =) The place was already small. With social distancing, there were like 5 tables. A very friendly lady greeted and welcomed us. She could have been the owner. I should have confirmed. Not sure what her exact name was, but her name sounded close to "Money." For lunch, you order an item that you like and then pick a protein (beef, chicken, pork, tofu, shrimp). My friend got his usual go-to: pad see ew. What surprised me was that he ordered tofu with it. I felt pressured into eating healthy based on his decision so I ordered eggplant basil with pork. Lol I wouldn't say that the flavors of the dishes stood out compared with other Thai restaurants, but the dishes were pleasant enough. I would give them 3.5 out of 5 stars. What made this place great was the lady Money. Her personality and how she welcomed us made a difference. I almost finished my rice that came with eggplant basil, but I decided to stop and take the rest of my food home. She gave me a whole bowl of rice with it. Rice doesn't cost that much, but the thought and gesture of doing that warmed my heart. Yes, I would go back just because of her. It's people like her that make the service industry wonderful. read more

The good is their service. The owner lady is so friendly and the restaurant gives you the clean and relaxing vibe. I wish their food was as good as their service.

2nd time here today. I am reminded why I don't come eat here even though it is so close to my house that I can walk here. If you like salty food, this place is for you. Thai food in general is very heavy so it was expected but the amount of salt they threw in that basil fried rice was a bit much. I am sure I will be gulping down a ton of water this afternoon from this lunch. This place seems under staff, at least on a weekday. One waitress for the whole place. Ordering took a while, food took a while. Service was good. Waitress was nice & friendly, just under staff. As much as I am all for supporting small business, I personally won't be coming back here again unfortunately. But if you haven't tried out this place, go give it a try yourself. Maybe the chef was feeling salty just today :D But overall, the taste here is too salty for me. 3 people we ordered 4 entree. Basil Fried Rice. Drunken Noodles. Tom Yum Soup. Lard salad. Food portion was good. Big plates, we end up taking alot home. read more
