They keep the true essence of quality, freshness , and genuine flavors. They don't dilute condiments like other restaurants. Other restaurants should get reacquainted with the essence of Thai cuisine homeland flavors and learn from this place. Many other Thai restaurants in San Jose try to appeal to a broader, more Western audience, they often dial back the spice, substitute traditional ingredients, and smooth over the complex notes that gave the cuisine its identity in the first place. You order spicy , you get spicy. Exactly how is supposed to be . Sometimes, I just want to enjoy a very spicy dish next to a pile of napkins (feel the real thing). I appreciate the front area lady. I love coming here. She is an older woman and doesn't know much English, but she gives it her full effort to communicate. She is very friendly. They make sure none of my items were missing (I appreciate a restaurant who is accountable about accuracy of the order with no missing items). They are building a clientele. She is a new employee (she only been there a month). It's not luxurious place. As you enter the location, if feels humble, but clean. Generous portions for the price . They keep it affordable and fresh (they aren't skimping). Your money is well spent in take out or dine in (you won't regret if you love spicy food). They also have delicious sticky rice mango. read more

They are undertaking some changes here to move to ordering on a tablet and then taking a seat at a table. Right now it seems most people are ordering carry out. We came for sit-down dining, so we placed our order and sat together at a table by the window. We started with the spring rolls which arrived freshly cooked and piping hot. But honestly, for our taste, these were not very good and we would not order them again. A little too soggy inside. My wife being vegetarian at the basil with tofu wok dish. And a side order of brown rice. She describes her dish as "really good" and I can agree as I helped her finish it :-) I had the spicy catfish which I ordered mild and that was a fine idea. The flavors were also good and there was a good helping of catfish. Be prepared for bones, of course. The catfish was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I asked if they have the "four condiments" that I like to have brought to the table, but that was not possible here at this time. That was why I had ordered the dish mild but that's OK as I say the flavor was really good. Later we spoke to the owner and she said that they are making some changes and that right now it is mostly carry out and therefore they don't keep those things on hand. Because I had helped my wife finish her dish, I took home the catfish. Honestly, I would've taken some home anyway, as it was a pretty good portion. The owner gave me some of their Thai chilies in fish sauce to take home with me. We told the owner we had found a place because I had seen it on my drive to the Costco business center nearby and that we had come from Santa Clara. She told us that she has another restaurant in Santa Clara on Tasman called Siam Bistro. Check out either location! read more

I ordered Spicy Catfish and Spicy Basil fried rice and a Thai tea . They have generous amount of food in the container, so I am happy with that.. Unfortunately, I ordered the wrong fish because I want tamarind and didn't realize the catfish didn't have it but it's OK. The service was great and I have no complaint of that and the ambience is OK The spicy catfish that I had ordered, which was mild and I felt like it was a bit salty and so I went home to add coconut milk on top of the fired catfish , boy it made a difference. The Basil fried rice was good .and seasoned read more

OMG! I wonder if the owners are new since 2022. This place has come a long way. I have been to Thailand many times but this now tops everything! I truly have to say this is the best Thai food I have had. Every dish is 5 stars. Last time, we had the penang curry, som tom (papaya salad), pad thai and a chicken stir fry. This time, we had Shrimp Green Curry, Som Tom, spicy basil fried rice and pad thai. We ordered it medium spicy and it had an amazing kick, but for an Indian, it was definitely more than I could handle. The owner is a Japanese American wat veteran and the chef is a sweet Thai lady. I would highly recommend supporting our local neighbors! This is my go to place and will remain. Much better than most other Thai restaurants around read more

Grab Thai - Menu - Thai Near Me - San Jose, California

I came to Grab Thai for a take out order around 30mins before they closed on a weeknight and had a wonderful experience! I've been to restaurants where the quality of food is decreased when it's close to closing, but that wasn't at all the case here. The staff were incredibly kind and warm and service was spectacular and fast. I ordered my usual go-to's: Ginger chicken, Drunken noodles, and spicy basil fried rice. All of the dishes were very tasty! The vegetables were super fresh, and the meat quality was great! My favorite was the ginger chicken; they loaded it up with fresh ginger and it's just delicious! A lot of Thai places I've tried use very little to no ginger in "ginger chicken," but this restaurant exceeded my expectations. And not to mention the prices here -- so affordable!!! I was very pleased with everything and will absolutely return. read more

[Food] Ordered takeout via phone - Roti Dip ($8.32): I'm not sure if it's the way they packed it or a faulty sauce cup, but all the curry sauce spilled out and made the roti all soggy. I tried to salvage it by airfrying them but did little to help. That aside, the roti was pretty good but the curry sauce was delicious! - Grab Wings ($11.44): Ordered this in a mild spice. I wish this was a dry rub instead as the soggy wings didn't help. The favor was good, as it was a light peanut-y, sweet, chili, acidic sauce, I think. - Pad See Ew ($13.52): Ordered this w/ pork in mild spice and this definitely delivered! Pork was nicely cooked and noodles were well seasoned! Would order again. - Penang Curry ($13.52): Got this w/ pork and medium spice. Another gem, considering flavor, tender meat, and spot-on spice! - Tom Yum Soup ($12.95): Love that they added so much veggies and grateful that the pork wasn't overcooked. Personally though, it was a tad too sweet for me. Acidity and spice were on point! Loved that this was a true medium spice! - Beef Larb ($14.56): Online this is set to $13.56 and in-person this is priced at $13 but I was charged an extra $1 and was told this is the same pricing as the beef salad. That aside, I was actually really surprised that the minced meat was so juicy. This turned out to be my fav dish of the night! I got this in a medium spice but this tasted mild to me. [Service] - Fast, friendly, attentive - Confused what is the true pricing as I read reviews that ordering via phone would be more true to what you'd pay if you ordered there, but upon picking up my phone order takeout, I realized they charged me online prices. Online prices vary from $0.30~$4 depending on the dish from what I saw on the menu in-person. I understand ordering via website has an up-charge to help sustain online orders via the platform but I was definitely disappointed that even phone orders were up-charged. [Ambiance] - Small and causal mom & pop restaurant [Overall] - My favorites out of this order were the Beef Larb & the Penang Curry. Both super flavorful plus meats were tender & juicy. - I would rate this place more of a 3.5 but am willing to bump it up to 4 stars despite the up-charge via phone order. I'm still willing to come back and try other dishes just for the affordability but I may just order in-person instead of website or phone order. read more

Very good Thai food. Pad see ew is so good. Better than Famtime Thai across the street but Famtime's inside looks better. This place is more of a to-go style rather than a sit-down restaurant. read more

I feel like not many people know about this spot. At least I didn't, it's kind of tucked away in the corner of the food mart plaza below Eastridge Mall, but I felt like I had a great authentic experience here. I dined in, and the store seems to be run by two aunties. Menu prices are very competitive compared to other places, and they also have lunch specials at an even better price point. I really like how this place offers a lot more variety in Thai cuisine than other spots. Since it was my first time, I just went with the Pad Thai, level spicy. I love how every dish is made to order, and it really felt like I was getting a home-cooked meal. The food was delicious and piping hot since it had just come straight from the wok. I got beef as my protein, and it was super tender. I also love how spicy they can make it here because I'm a big fan of the Thai chili spice. You can squeeze in as much lime as you want, and I love how the citrus cuts through the dish. Seating was plentiful at this location. While I was eating, the chef walked over to check in on my meal. It was cool learning she immigrated here from Thailand and has been cooking ever since. She was super sweet and told me how she picked up English, Vietnamese, and even a little bit of Spanish while working which is really impressive and inspirational. This place also seems really popular for delivery because a lot of people came in to pick up orders while I was dining in. I overheard the chef explaining to someone getting takeout that she only cooks the noodles lightly so that by the time they get home, the dish is perfectly cooked and not too soggy. From the interaction, it feels like the store owner really knows her craft. I'm usually not a big fan of DoorDash because of delivery delays, but I'd feel really comfortable ordering from here knowing that the owner keeps things like that in mind. I'm excited to come back and try other menu items because they have dishes I wouldn't expect to see outside of Thailand, or at least not at restaurants in the area. Overall, just really solid Thai food made super authentically. read more

We were greeted by a friendly cashier upon entering this eatery. We ordered the Pad Thai with Pork, Chicken Satay, Green Curry With Pork, jasmine rice, and two Thai Iced Tea. Our food came out in a timely manner. The sauce for the Pad Thai had a sweet, salty , and sour taste to it, which I really liked. I can really taste the tamarind in it. The Green Curry with Pork had eggplants and bamboo shoots in there. The chicken satays were moist in the inside and the cucumber salad went well with them. The Thai Iced Teas had the right amount of sweetness to it. The prices are fairly reasonable and they were generous with the portions. We will be back to try their salmon curry, seafood mango and the larb salad. read more

Decent food. Prices are relatively low. Great for takeout. Note to self: order on the phone! Ordering from their website or Yelp costs more. Pad Thai: 3.5/5. No surprises. I found the sweetness level is just right. Some might find it a bit too sweet. They included a piece of lime this time! Pad See Ew: 3/5. Too oily. Not as flavorful as before Drunken Noodle: 4/5. It had strong basil flavor. I might have found my fav noodle at this place! Must have! Yellow Curry: 4/5. Great taste! Rich in coconut flavor. Wish they had more protein in it. Goes well with rice! read more

This place is amazing. I've ordered the drunken noodles, mango sticky rice, crispy tofu, and much more and it all tasted amazing.

Grab Thai - Drunken noodles, Crispy Tofu - Thai Near Me - San Jose, California

Passed by the spot often and I think their hours are on and off sometimes, so I didn't get the chance to try it until recently. Ordered off of DoorDash while in the mood for Thai food. I chose the spiciest level the foods because I'm not sure what to expect when ordering from a new Thai place. The food came piping hot and on time. Wow, the heat was real! My mouth was blown away lol. The papaya salad felt spicer than the pad thai, so I ate more pad thai to balance out the salad. The pad thai was less spicy the next day. Pad thai: Not the best in terms of flavor; I think it could use more seasoning. The noodles were all stuck together. I think the heat made it pretty tasty though. Papaya salad: I wish the papaya was more crunchy and cut more thin like most places. However it was saucy and the spice was good too. Tom yum soup: Spicy! People said leaned more on the sweet side but it was good to me. Lots of onions. I wish there was more cabbage and mushrooms. All in all, a standard place for Thai food in the area. read more

The best take-out Thai food I've had in East Side. I ordered pad kee mao for take-out and trust me when I say they are not joking about the spice! I ordered medium and it was VERY spicy! Most places make food too mild to accommodate for people with weaker spice tolerance, but in my opinion, authentic Thai food needs to have a good kick. It was perfect! Rice noodles charred but still chewy, generous amounts of chicken, crunchy veggies, and piping hot spice! The Thai tea I got on the side was the perfect accompaniment and came in a large cup with a to-go cup holder bag. The ladies at the counter are super nice and they hook you up with huge portions. I will come back again and try more next time! read more

Grab Thai - It Was So Good - Thai Near Me - San Jose, California

Sooooooo good and soooo cheap, especially compared to other Thai places in the Bay Area. We got the chicken pad see ew and chicken pad Thai (spicy) and each dish was only $13 with generous portions. The pad Thai was flavorful and spicy without being too sweet. The pad see ew had nice bouncy noodles. This will probably be my new go-to Thai spot. The workers are really sweet as well. We had two older aunties take our order and they were really friendly. The inside is kinda small, better as a take out spot in my opinion. Looking forward to my next meal here! read more

We arrived at 7:45 on a Sunday, and they were closing at 8. Despite this, they still provided us with exceptional service. The food was prepared with love, and the crab fried rice was absolutely amazing. Their Thai iced tea was incredible, and we finished our meal with the mango sticky rice. I'm definitely coming back to try more of their dishes. Their food is so good, I'm already planning to explore their menu further. I highly recommend this place and give it a rating of 10/10. I Love this place so much!!! read more

Get your delicious Thai food fix here! Each dish is cooked to order and so tasty. Such an incredible deal with their noodle and fried rice dishes only $13 each. Plus, the two aunties who run this place are the sweetest and so happy to serve you. My husband and I really enjoy Siam Station in Cupertino, so it was nice to find some place closer to Evergreen for Thai food. The interior is clean and simple at Grab Thai, but the drunken noodles with chicken and the pad se ew with tofu (medium spicy) were just as good as Siam Station and a lot less expensive, too! We ate at Grab Thai for lunch on a cold, rainy Tuesday, and the hot food hit the spot and the adorable aunties chatted it up with us. They do a big takeout business, too, so give them a try! It's located in the same mall as Food Maxx. Can't wait to try other dishes here. read more

My husband and I have seen this place open for a while, and it looks like a fast food/to go place, though it's more like a dine-in. We came here with my 2 boys last Friday arpund 6 pm and there were 2 other parties there. It looks like a fast food to go, but there are about 6 tables for you to sit and dine. There are only 2 staff working. You order at the counter and sit at any available tables. The food made to order on a first come, first serve customer basis. We ordered the following to share for our family: 1. Chicken Satay: Very flavorful with a curry flavor, and chicken is moist. However, sauce on the chicken is a little runny. I'm not sure if it was marintated with the sauce or if sauce was brushed on, or both. 2. Grab Wings, medium spice: Not spicy and has just a slight hint of spice. Comes with a salad with a light spicy vinegarette dressing. Good, but the chicken wings were dried and not crunchy with dressing over. It tasted like the chicken was pre-fried, then microwave for hotness. 3. Pad Thai, shrimp: This dish came out first, which was not an appetizer. By the time we were done with this plate, the rest of the food was still not out. Very flavorful. We asked for red chili flakes and added it to be spicier. Came with 5 shrimp and some tofu, which was a little hard and stale. But overall, it's very tasty. 4. Yellow curry, chicken medium: Good spices but not spicy for it being medium level. Not sweet nor too savory. My 10 & 8yo boys really enjoyed it. 5. Tom Yum: Not spicy and on the sweeter side. It's slightly tangy but could be more tangy but still alright enough to enjoy. We also ordered 2 side orders of white rice, thai ice tea, and a coke. I feel that they need to manage the orders better by bringing out appetizers first before entrees, but then this is not a full-on restaurant. Also, it was hard to get their attention at the counter when you need water, napkins, condiments, etc. to access it easier as they're busy cooking, so you can stand there waiting until they see you. They got busy quick while we were there and alot of pick ups/door dash. I have mixed feelings about returning here, but if you need to meet your Thai cravings w/o driving far, then this may be the place as there is more options then the other Thai place at Paloma Plaza. read more

YES! I think many of the Thai restaurants in ESSJ has some real competition now. I was in the neighborhood running a ton of errands and wanted a quick fix of papaya salad and some noodles before wrapping up on my list of things to do. I've passed by Grab Thai on many occasions but just haven't been able to make it in. So glad that I was finally able to! When I walked in, I was warmly greeted by the head chef and the sweet lady running the front of the house. I checked out their menu and knew I wanted to try their Papaya Salad and Pad See Ew. I was so impressed by the quality and flavors put into both orders (truly hit me by surprise). Nothing was too sweet or too savory -- there were all the right balances in flavor for both dishes. The ingredients were fresh and so aromatic. I saw some other patrons order Curry and Roti so that's what I'll try the next time I'm in. And of course, I'll have to double up on my next papaya salad order because the head chef (I believe she's Laotian) knows what she is doing! Support local small businesses y'all! read more

The food here is good. I have eaten here several times and the quality has always been good. My only complaint is that there wasn't a single piece of pineapple in the pineapple fried rice, there was also no shrimp even though it was in the description. The green curry has always been my favorite but it was very watery today. I ordered the curry medium spice level but it wasn't even mild. The pad see ew was yummy. I was disappointed in the mango sticky rice, it was just a small hard clump of rice with sweet, ripe mango. None of these are deal breakers for me but not as good as previous experiences here. read more

I wanted to try thai food from a new place and this place popped up. After reading the reviews, can't resist trying this. It is located in a complex, so plenty of parking. I went on a weekday and it was completely empty. I ordered Chicken Satay, Green curry, and Mango Sticky rice. The food was good but nothing special. We need to order it at the counter first and then they serve the food to the table. Among all, Mango Sticky rice was delicious. They do charge extra if you use a CREDIT CARD. They don't care to let you know that before swiping the card, which is a bummer. Food: 3.5 Service: 4 Ambience: 3 read more

Located in Tully Corners, same plaza as Party City and Food Maxx off Tully Road. I came there around 12:45pm for lunch on a Thursday and there was only 1 other table eating in. I went straight to the cashier to place my order but there was only 1 lady working at the time, so it took her a second to take my order. She was a bit preoccupied with the other table and their food. I got.. PAD THAI $13 -rice noodles, egg, tofu, bean sprouts, tamarind and crushed peanuts. I got it with chicken, no bean sprouts, requested it to be spicy. Very saucy but too sweet for my taste. It wasn't spicy either. Kinda bland tbh. Barely any fried tofu..just itty bitty cubes. It was mostly noodles but at least they were chewy..since I ate it fresh. 2/5* The lady who took my order was super nice though. She brought out my togo order to my table and started speaking vietnamese to me. Lol I asked her for chili and she gave me two types. She even asked me if I wanted water and she brought it to me too. Food wise, I'm not a fan but service is warm and friendly. read more

I like their food, the price is also very affordable. It's my go to place when I crave for Thai food.

I ordered the beef panang curry, expecting a generous portion of beef, but I found it mainly consisted of vegetables with very little beef. I also tried the green chicken curry, which was filled with a lot of eggplant and vegetables, but lacked sufficient chicken. On the positive side, the pad Thai was great. However, since my experience may have been affected by the restaurant nearing closing time, I don't think I'll be going back. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE SO MUCH! Im so obsessed. I would highly recommend dining in rather than doing takeout for first timers since its best eaten right away. I went 2 days in a row because it was that good. Usually I have to drive all the way to Fremont for good, authentic Thai food but I am so glad that this spot is close to home. Listed below are the items I've tried and the reviews for each one. Each item gets a 5/5 from me! Papaya salad: this dish is perfect, I love that its not too sour or too sweet and compliments the other dishes. I personally like my salad to be spicy, so I would recommend asking it to be hot. I asked for medium and think that it would taste even better hot! Chicken satay: this is my favorite dish. The peanut sauce is perfect, and the chicken is so juicy and tender. I was amazed and savored every last bite. Pad thai: you can tell the pad thai is authentic. It's not too sour, has the right amount of sauce and you can taste the tamarind. Crab fried rice: this dish is loaded with crab!! So tasty and flavorful. For my second day here, I reordered all of the same items lol One last thing, the owner is the cutest! She came out to talk to us and ask us how the food is. She is so sweet and welcoming and the cashier was nice as well! Please check this place out, its definitely a hidden gem. read more
