Amazing food, a little expensive but really delicious and presentation is exquisite. Papaya salad- very spicy, sweet, salty. Great flavors. $17 Whole coconut $7 very nice, soft creamy coconut meat. Corn fritters - 10 pieces of fried corn fritters (no egg) comes with a sweet chili sauce (housemade) $14 (a little too expensive) Crab pad Thai- $25 with cheese. Sweet and saucy. Crab was maybe a canned crab? Not sure. Pretty good, probably will get it without. Crab next time. Came with fried tofu. Mango sticky rice- $12 surprisingly disappointing- sticky rice was a little too hard and too sweet. read more

This is the first time I've ever crossed over a Doordash review to Yelp and I think it's for VERY good reason. I'll comment on the taste in a bit but I want to first highlight something I've never experienced. In all my work-from-home years I've never once had to-go experience where the dishes looked like they'd been plated for table service at the restaurant. Sure some stuff shifted in the Dasher's car but it honestly blew me away. Even the drink was carefully wrapped and put in a little box to ensure it wouldn't leak everywhere. As for the important bit, the taste, man... I have had so many amazing Thai meals at places in the bay area and honestly just assumed the most Modesto would get is some great Banh Mi spots. Obviously I haven't had the chance to try the whole menu but my go-to, Tom Kha, this is the best Thai coconut soup I've ever had! The Pad Thai is as good if not better than what I've had in San Francisco as well. I'm really looking forward to bringing friends and family here to check it out in person! Side note... yes, it's also very expensive ordering via Doordash with their added fees but it's 2026 and it's California. So far my multiple orders have been well worth the price and I expect the same experience in person! (just, you know, without the extra Doordash fee nonsense) read more

Wowwwwzaaa! Was craving Thai food and gave this little unknown place a try. Never knew this place even existed. The restaurant is in a little old school strip mall, supperrrr tiny but don't let that deceive you. Inside was packed and there was a line outside too. Ordered to-go and they said 20 mins but it was more like almost 30-40 min. Truly worth the wait though. Will definitely be coming back to this spot! Also, got a peek in the kitchen and the cooks looked authentic and Thai? That's why it's so yummy! lol. read more

Service was prompt and there was plenty of parking in a shared plaza. The menu had photos of every dish, which was helpful. I tried the beef broccoli, which was more of an oyster sauce and garlic combination. The chicken satay skewers were bland and hard. The peanut sauce was on the sweet side. There were some flies inside, which was a bit annoying. The decor was cute. read more

Can get pretty busy around dinner time. People often come in larger groups and this is a small restaurant. Best for 2-4 people. Had I reviewed this place sooner (thought I had), I likely would've given this place a 5/5 (at least for the area). They have become a go-to spot for me over the years. They are very friendly and do a pretty good job getting the food out in a timely manner. My favorite dishes: -Thai Tea & Coffee: Sweet and refreshing. -Thai Style Chicken Wings: Good Crisp. -Spicy Basil Combo (pork): Not too spicy, simple yet flavorful. -Mango Sticky Rice: the rice texture def isn't for everyone. -Beef Pad Thai: wish the sauce (for lack of a better word) had more tamarind flavor or if you could ask for it to be stronger. -Garlic Combo with Beef: basically a Thai style omelette with garlic, your meat of choice and a side of what I can only describe as a Thai style buffalo dipping sauce. read more

I ordered this food while I was traveling through Stockton/manteca area and this was a good choice. The shrimp pad Thai had good flavor and even though I ordered mild, it had a bit of a kick and a little more on the spicy side. Can't speak of the service as I ordered take out but they did forget to give me utensils. The ambiance was nice and overall locally owned place. I would recommend this for the pad Thai as it was cooked well and had good flavors . read more

Met up with two of my great friends for an early lunch here. Small establishment but clean. And friendly. Nice little set up inside, although depending on certain situations tables are placed very closely together. But all in all the food tasted amazing and the visual presentation of each dish that was brought out was very nice to look at and placed very well. One of my friends had previously been here so I'm guaranteed that we will meet up here again whether it be for a lunch or an early dinner. If I recall, I think their opening hours are 11 AM and that was on a Saturday. read more

This is a whole in the wall, small local businesses I have been wanting to try this place for quite a while now. It has great reviews and I love Thai food so I had high expectations. Ambiance resembles a small business but didn't really give me the usual Thai food spot vibe. I didn't dine in, took it to go however I did post a few pictures of the dining room so be sure to check them out. Food was delicious! A bit overpriced but so good! Check out my photos of the food I bought. Service was what you would expect for a to go order. I asked for an itemized receipt but was told by the young lady that she couldn't provide one to me. Today I dined as pleasure so not an issue however when I do business meals I do need itemized receipts so this spot would not be an option for me to take anyone to a business lunch. Too bad because I tend to spend much more on those outings. I also found it odd that the prices advertised in the window don't match the menu prices inside. I mentioned this to the cashier who just shrugged it off. I tried to figure out why my meal cost so much based on menu prices inside but without an itemized receipt it was not possible. I paid $35.72 for the crying tiger and a mango sweet sticky rice dessert. I even added extra three dollars in case they charged me for side of rice but still I paid more than I should have by a few dollars. This is the reason I took off two stars. Parking was a bit challenging as this place is located in a strip mall and shared with several other businesses including a grocery store. Overall, I would love to eat the food again but the owner will need to update menu in window and in store to reflect what I'm actually paying. If not, I will have to pass. I always support local small businesses and I still recommend you give this place a shot. You won't be disappointed in the food, you may be disappointed with the price your charged though. As long as you're mindful of that, you will be good. read more

Great food and service! Crying tiger - steak with some bomb sauce Pineapple fried rice - super fragrant and yummy, especially with the extra fish sauce and chili and lemon Pineapple curry (medium) - concentrated wonderful flavor, packed with the fixings of veggies and meat. Golden spoon noodle - gamey broth reminiscent of Cambodian kathiew, feels like home cooking Papaya salad - thick cut and standardly yummy Service is always nice and atmosphere is always clean with upscale dining ware. I've been here twice so far and there will be no hesitation to come back the next time I'm at great wolf lodge again read more

The food we ordered was delicious! Every item was very flavorful. We would have had a great experience as the service was great and it was a nice clean restaurant, however, a family was seated and immediately coming in, the family had no consideration for other patrons in the restaurant. I am around noise, and am typically not bothered, especially when a family is out having a nice meal while enjoying each others' company. But this family had no control of their kids nor did they care that kids were in walk ways. It's a small restaurant and they were playing now around tables. It is not a park nor outdoors. There has to be a line drawn to make others feel comfortable and enjoy their meals too. That was the only thing that bothered me that not one person gestured the kids to sit down or at least be in their area. We were all tortured. It was really hard to enjoy our meal. But it wasn't just the kids, the parents did not care. In fact, they were yelling themselves. It's about respect for others. I understand this is a one off situation because it started to get busy. It's a popular restaurant and the food speaks for itself but the business needs to control an uncomfortable environment. Everyone was upset. I was so thrown off that I didn't take pictures of everything. I wanted to get up and leave fast. But everything was solid. Ordered spring rolls, fried chicken (wet), Tom Ka Gai, Ginger whole fried fish, pad see ew with pork, and crab fried rice. read more

I really wanted to love this restaurant! But unfortunately, I was disappointed!! I had been looking for a good Tai Food restaurant locally, and I was told to try Golden Spoon Tai. The menu looked great, the dishes looked crisp and all the food looked fresh and flavorful, and delicious. I was disappointed that although the food was hot, and smelled really good; there was little to no flavor in the Basil rice with Chicken. The portion size was very nice, but very little chicken inside. I also ordered a side of Egg noodles which didn't look anything like they're pictured in the menu. They were thin, thin, like Ramen noodles, and were very dry. I hated to throw it out, but it wasn't edible. The service was good, but that's it. I unfortunately, would not recommend this restaurant. read more

I've been coming to this place for quite some time now and this is the only time I wasn't pleased with the service. As I was waiting for my order I felt that the waiter is doing everything on its own. From taking phone/dine in orders; preparing the phone orders for the Togo customers; cleaning the table and getting the transactions for payments for both dine in/ Togo customers; and serving dine in customers with their orders is a bit too much for a one person job. I felt that my order took a long time to be delivered at my table. Don't get me wrong this place is really good with their food menu. The food here is great. But I think the waiter needs help in the front if they have a multiple food orders during lunch hours. read more

Came on a Sunday around 6:30pm for dinner and was seated right away. We got the fresh young coconut ($7), wings in dry since our toddler was eating it and the dip came on the side, crab fried rice, and mango sticky rice. Everything was good -- the dip for the wings had a tiny kick and the crab fried rice was so tasty you don't need sauce. The only bad thing is that the mango sticky rice was hard and not cooked with enough water or long enough. Total was $51 without tips for three people (1 toddler). They have high chairs too. Would definitely come back for that crab fried rice! read more

After a day at great wolf lodge I found this gem on Yelp. Ordered via phone and went to pickup the food to go. The lady who took my order quoted 10-15 mins so we hurried over but still had to wait another 15 minutes for our food. We brought the food back to our hotel. Crying tiger: 4/5 lots of fat, otherwise not bad. Chicken larb: 4/5 good flavor and large portions Beef pad see ew: 4/5 great texture and good flavor. So happy they don't make it sweet. Green curry with pork which comes with rice: 5/5 excellent curry! Mango sticky rice: 5/5 excellent and yummy So happy we found this spot! Only 14 minutes drive from GWL. read more

Stopped by Golden Spoon and was seriously impressed -- this place delivers bold, authentic Thai flavors with great portion sizes and super friendly service, cozy, and welcoming. I ordered the Crying Tiger, and it was exactly what it should be: tender grilled ribeye beef with that addictive spicy-tangy dipping sauce. The BBQ Chicken Combo was another standout -- perfectly charred chicken paired with fresh papaya salad and warm sticky rice. Comfort on a plate. The Iron Plate Dried Noodles were a surprise favorite -- chewy noodles with crispy pork belly, ground pork and fish balls and great seasoning. And the Tom Zaap Kra Dook Moo was packed with flavor: spicy, sour, and loaded with fall-off-the-bone pork ribs. Perfect for anyone who loves Isan-style soups. Golden Spoon serves food that tastes truly homemade, with deep flavors and generous portions. This spot is absolutely going on my go-to list whenever I'm in Manteca! read more

I've been here a handful of times, but it's the tofu satay that keeps bringing me back! It's probably my favorite bite from there. I also gravitate toward the papaya salad and pad thai. The medium spice level doesn't actually have much of a kick to it and sometimes the pad Thai can be overwhelmed with bean sprouts. While I usually order via delivery service, I've been into the dining room once and service was quick and friendly. read more

Food is made to order and the kitchen works fast! We were a party of 7 and ordered a lot of food to share, despite that, our food came out quickly - hot & fresh. Everything was delicious and it was clear they use good quality ingredients. Our eyes were bigger than our appetites so we had leftovers to take home. We were glad to try all the variety dishes! There was only one server for the whole restaurant but she was very attentive and on top servicing every table. She was very helpful with recommendations. This little gem doesn't look like much from the outside. Inside, the decor matches their theme and its true to their "Golden" name. The silverware and serving dishes match the gold esthetic as well. It's a casual/modern ambiance. I highly recommend this place. read more

This is our first time in Manteca and being a Thai person, I always crave Thai food. So we found this place on yelp and I was pretty excited to come here. It's a cute little Thai restaurant, ambience is good. Got seated right away. We ordered Thai tea, it was really good. Pad Thai was really really sour and had too much sauce. It was almost like they added too much tamarind sauce to the dish. Fried rice was yummy. Tom kha was excellent. And the noodle soup was delicious as well. Service was good. I told them I am Thai and was expecting pretty good treatment but they didn't seem that happy or friendly...at least not to us. Maybe we caught them on a bad day or something but overall everything was good. read more

SUMMARY: Amazing service, amazing food, fair pricing! SERVICE: We were heading back to the bay area from Yosemite so we reserved a table on Yelp ahead of time but all the tables were still full when we arrived, so our server took our orders and served us drinks ahead of time to ensure our food could be ready quicker once we got seated. Our server was also very responsive to fill glasses/hot water and check up on us often. The interior is quite small and had a nice comforting atmosphere. Great service! FOOD: Everything was made fresh to order and I was impressed with the quality of the food. I ordered the Tom Yum Noodle Soup with egg noodles and the noodles were incredible. The Tom Yum was lighter than I expected it to be compared to other thai restaurants but that wasn't taking anything away from the dish. There was plenty of meat and the fishballs were a nice touch as well. for dessert we got the durian sticky rice, which was absolutely phenomenal. Our table ordered many more dishes and everything looked so good. Seems like you can't go wrong here! Thank you, Golden Spoon! read more

This place never disapoints, I'm extremely picky with Pad Thai, I dislike when they make it too sweet or too sour, I'm a savory spicy kind of gal, so this place right here got it right for me, I could taste the char and smokiness of the hot wok, so much flavor, and their tamarin wings are out of this world, they have two styles, I prefer the dry rub but both are tasy. The sauce they serve it with is tamarin base with cilantro, chillies and hint of fish sauce, extremely addicting. I'm drooling just thinking about them. Everything I ordered tasted fresh and authentic, the cooks takes pride in their dishes, you can taste the passion, also the service is always friendly and helpful, very attentive 10/10 read more

There aren't many Thai restaurants in Lathrop or Manteca or Tracy area. I came across this restaurant with good reviews. Plus they are open at 11 am on weekends and offer online ordering on their website. They also have their own drivers for delivery versus third party. We got Pineapple Fried Rice, Green Chicken Curry Thai Hot, Thai iced tea, Yellow Chicken Curry Mild, Papaya Salad Medium Spicy Veggie, Pad Kee Mao with Chicken, Pad See Ew with Pork, Pad Thai with Chicken, Pad Thai with Pork, and Basil Pork Belly. All of this was able to feed 7 adults with leftovers. The servings of the rice, noodle and curry dishes were decent. The curry also came with two medium size servings of rice. I wish I ordered two of the Basil Pork Belly. This was my favorite dish out of everything we ordered. It was flavorful, saucy, and the pork belly still retained some of its crispness. The pineapple fried rice had a whole serving of fresh pineapple as opposed to canned pineapple. It also had raisins, which I never had before and some cashews. I would have preferred more cashews than raisins. The Green Curry Thai hot was intense, in a good way. The yellow curry was the perfect mild spice intensity. The website offers a variety of spice levels: no spicy, mild, medium spicy, hot and Thai hot. I put a request to write which items are spicy, as we had kids eating the meals. They wrote it clearly on the takeout containers, which was greatly appreciated. There was plenty of parking on the plaza. The restaurant was small and provided a homey feel. Our orders were ready and double bagged, no spills. We would order from here again and dine in too. read more

I've been to pretty much every popular Thai restaurant in the southbay so when I stopped by this restaurant I didnt expect much from some random Thai place in a city named Manteca in the central valley. I thought the food would be the same as some other Thai mall food. We ordered Pad Kee Mao and Noodle Soup and surprisingly both dishes were great if not better than some of the thai places that we've tried in the southbay. This is now our favorite place and we look forward to coming here again in the future to try more dishes. read more
