Went with family and we all enjoyed it. We had some appetizers that included crab Rangoon, potstickers and more, all of which were very good. For dinner I had the pineapple fried rice which was excellent. They will bring chili sauces to add to your dish if you like. Happy hour margaritas were good but the regular one was even better and larger. The service was excellent throughout the meal and most of us had food left to take home as portions are generous. The menu has a lot to offer for a return visit and I'd definitely go back read more

This place is four star consistent. The five star review is for Happy Hour, or as I call it, after school snack. In May, the end of the school year looms large and days are long and arduous. Coconut Bay was on my radar, having just catered one of the end of the year events at school. I came in for take- out for the family, but I was starving and the $8 Happy Hour specials were calling my name. I picked up dinner to go , but treated myself to HH chicken satay and calamari. Those dishes were beautiful, delivered quickly and with amazing condiments. I love the flavors of cilantro rice wine vinegar, tamarind, fish sauce and peanut sauce. The satay had the tiniest and most delicious cucumber salad and the peanut sauce was so full of flavor and super chunky. The chicken was warm and hearty , freshly grilled and generously portioned whole pieces. The star was the blonde, crispy, greaseless calamari and that cilantro sauce had a perfect mouth puckering sour but fresh herbaceous flavor. Yum. Best all, my bill for my Happy Hour meal and my family's dinner was less than $40! Beat that! Only one other party in the restaurant, so service was pretty great too! Come before the dinner rush for a bargain and bring friends to create your own party and enjoy many dishes! read more

I moved to Burlingame about 8 months ago and finally got around to trying this place. I was excited. It was clean, people were friendly, and the reservation process was easy. I don't understand why they changed names of traditional dishes to fit to their menu. As I've had Thai food plenty of times and was very confused by the different names of everything. It just seemed unnecessary. Ordered the pad Thai and the coconut bay soup (Tom Kha). Pad Thai was okay- very thin noodles than used too. There was something off about the soup immediately. It seemed old and that it had been sitting for multiple days. Sure enough both my dad and I got sick that night. While the service and atmosphere were nice, we will be getting Thai food elsewhere. read more

Chicken in the pad Thai was a little dry and the shrimp was a bit under cooked. It was still quite edible just not as good as I would expect it to be for $30. It's not so bad that I wouldn't order it again and I appreciate that my 'pick up' orders are always handled efficiently. read more

Ordered to go, entree was so so. Not the tasty entree I have experienced in the past. Service was quick and friendly staff when i arrived to pick up my order. The restaurant seemed to be semi busy for a Thursday night. read more

We were a party of 13 celebrating Christmas dinner here. The guys ordered the appetizers while each couple ordered their own main course. I enjoyed the Crab Rangoon but the Garden Fresh Roll appetizers were bland. The Pad Thai was alright. The Panang Chicken Curry was too spicy with huge cuts of Jalapeno peppers. The Garlic Prawns seemed half cooked and disappointing. I tried the chocolate cake and the Thai Ice Tea which were both delicious. Their dishes in the past were good but some of the new dishes we tried were not up to par. Lacking consistency. They used to give you a free Thai Ice Tea after you check in but that was discontinued, read more

Coconut Bay is a hidden gem with a warm, inviting vibe and stylish interior. Came during happy hour (4-6 PM) and the drink deals were solid--perfect way to unwind after work. We ordered the pineapple fried rice, chicken satay, and calamari, and every dish delivered. The pineapple rice was flavorful with the right balance of sweet and savory. The chicken satay was tender, well-marinated, and paired with a rich peanut sauce. The calamari was crispy, light, and not greasy--easily one of the better versions I've had. Service was friendly and the atmosphere felt relaxed yet elevated, great for both casual hangouts and date nights. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for both the food and happy hour value. read more

Greetings to all , well lm back to the Coconut Bay. It has been a while since my last visit, but I see that things have remained the same, still very dimly lit in the whole restaurant but visually comforting; street parking only.The service was great as usual, although I must say that the wait staff are on point with their menu and will politely repeat your request after taking everyone's order. We had many different Tasty dishes, l will only give pix of some of them in this review. All of our dishes were very Tasty and I will continue to come back and try get everything in the menu. Once again Coconut Bay, Nice job and keep up the good (Cooking- Work ) . read more

Curious if they've had the same cook for last 22 years because it's been that consistent since the first location up the street. Clean and delicious food. Sizzling beef, garden rolls, yellow curry and pad thai rarely disappoint. Staff is always pleasant. read more

We arrived around 4pm on a Sunday and were seated right away, which was a nice start. Place is decent, can accommodate a large group if needed. The Thai iced tea was just okay--not much flavor, and it came in a surprisingly small glass (pic looks big) I finished it in about four sips. We ordered the Angel Wings, which were decent but nothing memorable. The eggplant basil and panang curry were passable, but we've definitely had better versions elsewhere. The biggest letdown was the American fried rice--it tasted like old rice mixed with vinegar. Unfortunately, no one at our table could eat it. The garlic quail was quite chewy, making it difficult to enjoy. In the end, the egg rolls turned out to be the only thing we actually enjoyed for dinner. read more

Been here before, actually remember to take photos this time around. Big party of 12 on a Sunday afternoon, service was fast, waiters/waitresses were attentive, and the food was great. The interior is very clean and updated, great ambiance while eating. My favorite is their roti with curry sauce, panang curry and thai iced tea! I wish their portions were a little bigger but the amount of flavor in each dish makes up for it. Highly recommend anyone trying this restaurant if in the area! read more

We were famished when we arrived at Coconut Bay. It was one of the only open restaurants for Thai food at 3PM. We were doing a late lunch after arriving from the airport, we were very grateful that they stay open in the afternoons! We ordered an appetizer platter that allowed us to taste eggrolls, roti, chicken satay and crab rangoons, this felt like a good deal for the amount of food and variety. We really liked the roti and chicken satay! We ordered drunkard noodles (pad kee mao adjacent), highway noodles(similiar to pad see ew) and pad Thai. The portions are large and tasted great! It really hit the spot and filled us up. I wish the drunkard noodles was a bit spicier. Service was quick and they have plenty of seating inside! read more

This is hands-down my favorite Thai restaurant. I could eat this all the time. Parking is a bit tricky sometimes, but so worth it.

Jerry is the best! He heard what I needed and made sure he made it for me! What service and kindness ! Ask for Jerry!

Decided to give this a try on a Monday night. It wasn't that busy compared to other restaurants in the area. The first thing I've noticed is how the menu items have different names here. It threw me off a little because I had to reference yelp to see what the dish actually is. I ended up getting the papaya salad, veggie pad see ew and pork fried rice. Everything was excellent flavor. Service was good especially since the waiters came by to check on us frequently and refill our waters. One star off for the extremely sticky floors. There might have been a spill but it was very very sticky! read more

The Thai food is absolutely flavorful here! We ordered string beans, pad Thai ( the noodles are thinner than usual), the fried fish with string beans and chicken basil (I thought it would be minced but that's ok!) Also ordered steamed rice and it came in this cute container! Also, I must say I like the entrance with flowers and neon sign and LOVW how they appreciate Art! Loved looking at the artworks, makes this place a gem! read more

The panang curry wasn't the best I've ever had. It came with a mild to medium spice, though I wish they had asked how spicy I wanted it. I chose the panang because it came with a nice variety of vegetables, which was a plus. Service was decent, but inside the restaurant was a bit uncomfortable. It was over 80 degrees outside and the air conditioning wasn't on inside. Making sure your patrons are comfortable would really go a long way. read more

Great Thai spot not far from SFO airport. Came on a Sunday evening for dinner when it wasn't too busy and were seated promptly. To drink we got a Thai Iced Tea which was great. For food we shared the Spicy Angel Wings, Mint Leaf Surprise, Legendary Pad Thai, and Yellow Curry. My favorite was the Spicy Angel Wings but a close second would be the Mint Leaf Surprise. The flavor on was delicious. The pad thai and curry were both great as well. Great last meal in SF! read more

My bride took a friend there for dinner. Verdict was "it's an okay place, nothing memorable!"

My family has been coming here for our holiday dinner for the past few years, and it never disappoints. This year, we ordered a variety of dishes, from classic Pad Thai to flavorful roti, and everything we tried was delicious. Throughout the meal, I sipped on a perfectly sweet and refreshing Thai iced tea, which complemented the savory dishes beautifully. For dessert, I had the Thai tea ice cream--it was creamy, rich, and the perfect way to end the evening. The consistently delicious food, cozy atmosphere, and attentive service make this place a holiday tradition we always look forward to. read more

I recently ordered beef Pad See Ew from this place, and it was really good! The flavors were perfectly balanced and the noodles were cooked perfectly. The vegetables were crisp and not overcooked and the portions were generous. I was able to take the other half home for another meal! My only negative comment is that I wish the beer was more tender. I'll probably get chicken next time. Also if you ask for a spicier version they just add crushed flakes on it. Can't wait to come back and try the chicken version! read more

Coconut Bay is the closest Thai restaurant to my place so we decided to give it a try. Friendly, professional service and upscale ambience. Plating was beautiful. The food itself was just ok. I ordered the equivalent of pad see ew (some of their dishes have creative names) and it was missing the flavorful wok hei of stir fried dishes. Still, the meat was quality and there was plenty of broccoli in the mix. We wanted order panang curry for our second dish but they were out for the day. Instead we ordered a lamb curry. The curry sauce itself was quite delicious, as was the accompanying paratha. The lamb was tender but didn't appear to have been cooked in the sauce, only added later. Lots of potatoes but scant carrots. Price point seemed on par with a nice dining establishment. I won't be in a rush to return. read more

Tasty Thai food that hits the spot if you're in the area. We got the papaya salad, and it wasn't as crunchy as I would've liked. The flavors were typical. We also got highway noodles and panang curry (side of rice $3!!! All curry should come with rice imo). Noodles were yummy with tender beef. However some of the noodles were not separated and lacked sauce. The curry was a little spicy, they didn't ask us what spice levels we wanted which was a bit odd. Parking is downtown Burlingame, some street, and a few lots but expect to walk. If you're wanting a post meal treat, salt and straw is always a sure spot. read more

3.5 rounded up to 4. Came here for lunch with my boyfriend right when they opened on a Saturday. I had been here for dinner before maybe 10 years ago, so it had been a long time ago since I tried this place again. Thai iced tea always hits, and it came in a cool cup and coaster. I would not recommend the appetizer platter just because the chicken skewers were pretty bland. I wish I got something else like just the roti appetizer or the ladyfinger rolls. Yellow curry and pad thai were good. Overall, a good dining experience. Prices are reasonable and it's a nice local business. A good Thai food option in the Burlingame area. read more

The food & service were good, but we didn't like them adding a 21% service charge for a party of 5. They didn't tell us and we almost tipped on top of that. The prices were high enough not to warrant a greedy money grab like that. Make sure you review your tab closely before paying. read more

Decided to have my son's graduation luncheon at Coconut Bay and was very satisfied with the service, the food, the space and overall planning. Aimorn was the point person and was thoroughly detailed and very responsive in messages. We had a group of about 20 people in the back room with a lunch buffet. We had the Golden Pouches, Thai Hot Pot Stickers , Panang Salmon, BBQ Beef Short Ribs, Sautéed Green Beans, Minced Pork Basil, Pad Thai Chicken, Sticky Rice with Fresh Mango, Double Chocolate Cake and Thai Tea Cake. There was plenty of food for our group, plus some to take home. The favorites were the salmon, the ribs and all the desserts among the guests. Aimorn let us arrive before the restaurant opened for us to decorate the space. The back room was tastefully decorated with tablecloths, table runners, small simple centerpieces and a separate table for us to display pictures, a photo board and frames. The waitstaff frequently came around asking if we needed any beverages. And their cocktail menu was impressive. Would definitely have another party event here. read more

Yesterday we dined at the Coconut Bay restaurant to celebrate our friend's birthday. My reservation was at 12 noon for party of 3. When we arrived, I was impressed by the reception area. Gerry checked us in and I mentioned that it was our first time eating here. The dining rooms' decorations created a particular atmosphere or feeling of Thai. We changed our booth table to a standard table. It was not crowded the day we dined. Gerry, the server, was very helpful explaining the lunch menu sets. Our eyes were on the Deluxe Lunch Set. He also clarified the type of noodles from Group A and obliged my friend's request without egg. We ordered the Highway & Drunkard noodles separately. Then we had the same tofu and eggplant from Group B orders but I got the choice of seafood and my friends had the shrimps. The food arrived one at a time that was served similar to a bento box. The food had a harmonious blend of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy tastes. We asked for a bowl of steamed rice to complement our tofu & eggplant dish. We all said the food was scrumptious. Later Gerry came with a birthday cheesecake that surprised our friend. Our other friend ordered the same deluxe lunch to take home. Overall, the atmosphere or ambiance, food and service of Gerry & other staff are excellent. We will definitely go again! read more

Lets start with... Food: Overall consistent and good, we come here at-least twice a month to enjoy the pineapple fried rice, Tom Yum Shrimp soup, and papaya salad. Service: huge props to KATE, we love you. Any time we come, she has a huge smile and is so so welcoming, seriously give her a raise, she is awesome! And always treat me and my girlfriend nice, very charming personality!!!! Ambiance: Overall is decent, although, note to the owners, the floors need cleaning!!! Other than that it fits a good size of people, dim lighting and comfortable. read more

We were Wildly impressed, and honestly, quite surprised. Shout out to Dora, BK, and Chloe, you girls were great, and made my family happy! Lets start with the food. The entire meal was significantly better than we expected, every dish tasted great. And they Did it not cheap out, and water out the coconut base in anything, you could taste the real coconut from the curry, the rice, and even thier coconut cheesecake. Thats what you expect from a place named Coconut Bay. Possibly more importantly, the entire staff had smile on thier face. It sounds trivial. But its not! Do you look happy or annoyed to get some food ro water or whatever directly effects the patrons impression of the place. Lastly, and this STUNED US, because its rare. We had a birthday. I let them know it was a birthday. And they got the entire staff to bring out these Thai instremenats, banged on them for a bit, and this cute Neon Sign that read happy birthday. That meant everyone had to stop what they were doing, and had to have a sign with a charged battery all set for this little activity. It was GREAT. Once again, seems trivial, but its not. Its the details that count!!! We were very happy , and will be returning. TO THE OWNERS. If I can respectfully give some advice. Your interiro resturant is buetiful (love the Bells), food is great, and your staff is well trained., But your exterior facade needs some love. I understand that you don't want to remove the extra space that Covid earned you, and that makes sense. But please find a way to dress it up, so that it deserves to be in front of your very pretty place. Currently its an eyesore that discourges visitors. Same thing with your exterior. We found you online, but would have never walked in if we only were walking by, and saw your exterior. It is not inviting. It does not tell the wonderful story you have waiting inside. Just my 2 cents. Please feel free to contact me if you desire greater details. THANKS AGAIN. we will see you soon. :) read more

Food is so good, always fresh & flavorful. The owners are amazing people! Highly recommend!

For my daughter's 1st birthday party I was looking for a venue that could accommodate a private/semi private room for about 70 guests, that had good food, and was also reasonably priced. Coconut Bay fit the bill! We had such a great experience working with Aimorn and her staff to make sure the party was everything we wanted it to be. Communication was easy and Aimorn was very responsive. The food was delicious and the staff was very helpful and friendly. There was only one hiccup which was a mixup with our dessert order. It was a little disappointing since we received the wrong flavor of 130 pieces of dessert. But they were apologetic about it. We did have to order more food the day of the party as the recommended amounts weren't quite enough (or everyone just really enjoyed the food) but it wasn't a big deal. Also just be aware that the deposit for the space also tacks on sales tax which was different from what I'm used to. This deposit is put towards the final bill but the tax calculation gets a little confusing. Overall we highly recommend this place. Food was delicious, it was reasonably priced and service was great. read more
