I ordered a meal from this restaurant through Grubhub. I have had their food in the past and am glad to say it is still delicious! I got the shrimp pad Thai that was fabulous. The shrimp were whole cooked perfectly and were yummy. The chicken satay with the fresh peanut sauce and cucumber salad was fresh and superb The waffle was yummy. Also a refreshing delicious Thai iced tea. Everything was quality ingredients top products, cooked fresh with great flavor. Give this place a try you will be glad you did . Bon appétit.

Updated Review: The breakfast here is really bad We ordered the Crab Eggs Benedict, Beef Noodle Soup, and Waffles, and honestly none of them were particularly impressive. - Crab Eggs Benedict: 1/5 - Really, really bad. Probably the worst Eggs Benedict I've ever had. The hollandaise sauce was incredibly bland, the eggs had no flavor, and the biscuit tasted stale and old. Definitely not worth ordering - Beef Noodle Soup: 2/5 - For almost $40 (tax/tip) I was so disappointed with this dish. The beef was incredibly tender and practically fell off the bone, but the broth was overwhelmingly salty, making it difficult to enjoy. - Waffles: 3/5 - It's hard to mess up waffles but these were just average. They also looked different from the pictures on Yelp. read more

This was a 3.5 star experience, but it could've been higher had the service been improved. Dropped by with my husband and in-laws on a Sunday afternoon for lunch and the place was busy, but we were seated right away. The waitress was weird from the start; she was a bit cold and rushed, her interactions purely transactional. It was hard to flag her down the couple of times we needed her throughout the meal. I ordered the calamari and two orders of samosas for the table to start. Both were great, but the samosas in particular were delicious. Those disappeared from the table pretty quickly. For my entree, I went with the green curry and added chicken. It was also great and wasn't stingy with either the meat or the vegetables. I felt satisfied by the end of it and would order it again. But my issue began when, about halfway through our meal and after everyone else had been served and was well into their food, my husband's entree still hadn't come out. At this point I was starting to get concerned that we'd all be done by the time his food finally arrived, so I flagged down the waitress to ask her what was going on with his dish. My mother-in-law asked her before I could, and the waitress somewhat curtly and rudely dismissed her, telling her it was on its way. She had an attitude like *we* were the ones being unreasonable for asking where a missing entree was halfway through the meal. If I had a little less self-control, I wouldn't have been half as nice when I said ok. At the same time, you don't want to start something with the people handling your food. But I wasn't at all happy with the waitress after that; I don't know if she was having a bad day or didn't like something about us from the moment we walked in, but her short fuse didn't impress me. My husband's dish finally came out sometime after that and all was well. I had just enough room for dessert, so I got a scoop of the coconut ice cream. That was fantastic, so creamy and just the right amount of sweetness. So while the food was absolutely delicious here, the service we received left something to be desired and didn't make for a great first impression. But I'd be willing to give them another chance. read more

Discovered this eatery via YouTube. Wife and decided to give it a try today for a late luncheon (about 2pm) We were greeted almost immediately upon entering and were seated. The place was about full. As we were seated our menus were delivered. The selection is very nice. We ordered and enjoyed our meal. We will be back. read more

I've been to Khao Hom twice now. Once for brunch and the other for dinner. I'm always in this area and there's always groups of people outside possibly waiting for brunch. I came during the weekday so it wasn't as busy and food was phenomenal and the brunch menu was very creative. I recently came back for dinner with my family and some friends. The dinner menu came with lots of good options and creative cocktails for everyone to enjoy. The restaurant is small but the decor is very relaxing. Still has plenty of space for people to walk around so they're not overstuffing with seats. read more

Khao Hom features a spacious, dark, modern dining room along with a menu of creative Thai eats, including fusion brunch dishes. We had the purple-colored Ube Pancakes and the Khao Hom Waffle, which contained strips of fresh coconut meat, and both beautifully-plated dishes were topped with berries and syrup. I was an even bigger fan of the Thai side of the menu, starting with the Papaya Salad, a refreshing, crunchy mixture of shredded papaya, green beans, tomatoes, and crushed peanut in a spicy, sweet, acidic dressing made of fish sauce and lime. For our mains, the Northern Thai Khao Soi was a noodle soup made of egg noodles and chicken breast strips in a rich coconut curry, topped with crispy egg noodles, pickled cabbage, and fried shallots. From the Chef's Special menu, the Tom Yum Crab Omelet was a mound of jasmine rice enveloped with an egg omelet, topped with chunks of crab, mushrooms, and a creamy tom yum sauce; and my favorite dish was the Roti Gai Tod, a hearty combination of breaded chicken thigh, roti (a flaky flatbread), cucumber salad, jasmine rice, and a mild but flavorful yellow curry sauce on the side. Overall, everything we tried here was delicious, and the service was super quick and friendly too! It's hard to go wrong with anything on the extensive menu--what a great hidden gem of a restaurant in downtown Hayward! read more

My friend and I had brunch here to celebrate my belated birthday. We ordered a few popular dishes with Thai Tea. Tom Yum Crab Omelette- the best one to get since it has creamy tom yum sauce, a soft omelette, drizzled with a slice of lime, and crab meat with a few mushroom slices on top of fluffy rice. Khao Hom Waffle- coconut pandan waffle with fruits and syrup on the side. I wish they replaced the syrup with coconut milk syrup for better flavor and used no coconut shreds as a topping. Ube Pancake (side order)- one thick ube pancake that turned out dry when eaten with syrup. Never order anything that is not Thai on the menu. They should add Thai Tea pancakes to their menu with housemade Thai Tea syrup to make it more fusion. Pad Kee Mao w/ Chicken- I regret ordering this because the string beans were half raw, the tofu was dry, and the dish was a bit spicy. I should've ordered Pad Thai or Ka-Pow Short Rib Benedict instead. Thai Tea- strong and sweet, not too watery. It was less crowded when we arrived at 10 am on the weekend. The waitresses were fast and efficient, and the restaurant was nice and spacious. read more

Overall this spot has a great ambiance and a nice parking lot paired with well balanced flavors and a good portion size. You may have to remind your server of what you need since they seem to be a little understaffed. The pad see ew was great the pad Thai was good, a little on the sweeter side. The drinks were also delicious. The spice tray was a nice add so be sure to ask for that if you need a kick. read more

Finally got to try this Thai spot, and I'll definitely be back! We came here to celebrate my friend's birthday and ordered pretty much all of the house recommendations. I forgot to take a picture of the garlic sriracha wings, but they were perfectly crispy with just the right amount of sweet and spicy. We also ordered the chicken larb, the short rib massaman curry, and the Tamarind Tara cocktail. Everything was delicious, and the cocktail was a great complement to the meal. The standout dish is the short rib massaman curry. The moment we took our first bite, we both looked at each other because it was that good! The short rib was incredibly tender and literally fell off the bone. The curry was rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, it easily became the favorite dish of the night. Overall, we had a great experience with delicious food, great service, and a fun atmosphere for celebrating. I loved it so much that I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu! read more

This Thai joint is tasty Most of their dishes are gluten free! I like their fried chicken dish over fried rice most. The fried rice is very tasty, the deep fried chicken can use a bit more flavoring but it's meant to be dipped in their sweet and source sauce. I wasn't a fan of the sweet and sour sauce, it's a bit on the sweet side. Overall, I would recommend and definitely returning. There's still many other GF options I've yet to try. Service is not bad, but not great either. The ambience is nice and clean. read more

Great experience over all! It's a fancy Thai place in downtown Hayward. Everything we ordered was delicious and worth the pricey tag. We kept Thai basil chicken mild but it was still spicy and everything else was kept at medium level which worked. The tom yum fried rice had too many white onions which ruined the taste a bit and very less shrimp. The service was good. We asked them to adjust the sweetness in lychee ice tea and they promptly took action. It was very sweet at first. Other drinks were great! Wings were delicious. I will be back here! read more

Thai infused brunch with eye catching dishes and bold flavors to stimulate your senses will have you waking up and then craving for a nap afterwards! Integrated into downtown Hayward just a block from the theater and other eateries and drink spots, Khao Hom has made a strong impression in the local community drawing a good following for weekend brunch as well as weekday lunch. With street parking right in front as well as sharing free public parking in the lot behind the restaurant, once you've slogged through traffic to get to this area, you'll be able to easily park and venture in for your food experience. As you enter, you'll likely need to wait for one of their staff members to seat you in one of their two dining spaces. The rooms are well lit and enhance the ambiance of your meal (and photos) with natural lighting. When seated, you'll get their food and drinks menu in addition to finding their dessert menu at the table. As standard, each table gets a carafe of water for you to serve yourselves. Their menu is quite extensive in representing popular Thai flavors with a bit of flare. You'll find curries, soups, noodles and chef specialties in their own sections of the menu. They also have some alcohol infused drinks for those looking for a full brunch experience. As a novice to some Thai dishes, I did have to ask the staff to explain a bit about certain dishes, but there were a few that caught my eye and never let go. Thai tea - flavorful and bold; rich but not too sweet Matcha latte - rich matcha flavor and creamy; best sipped and can be packed in a to-go cup if you don't finish Tom yum crab omelet - beautifully crafted omurice-esque dish where you'll find white rice encased in an egg omelet topped with succulent pieces of crab meat and smothered in tom yum soup. This dish is not only a pleasure to look at but the taste and textures in each bite will have you salivating for more until the dish completely disappears. This unique take is a must get for first timers! Roti gai tod - crispy fried yet succulent chicken served with a small serving of creamy yellow curry, white rice, and a roti alongside their delicious chili sauce. Fantastic balance of textures and flavors will have your tongue dancing from the spices. Tom kha soup - a bowl of comfort with a whole lot of shredded chicken, red onions, and mushrooms with a few big quarters of fresh tomatoes. It's not as creamy as I would like but the flavor is there with its abundance in lemongrass. The portion is large as one order can easily split into two bowls. Fried ice cream - a meal topper and sweet indulgence for those looking to try something new and rarely found elsewhere. This giant meteorite of a breaded and fried ball of vanilla ice cream is topped with chocolate fudge, powdered sugar, a generous helping of whipped cream and plenty of fruit (strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, grapes, and cantaloupe). Definitely shareable and a surprising star of their dessert menu - they could definitely do more to advertise this! The staff were super friendly and quick to take dirty dishes out of the way. They kept the place clean, served the food promptly and treated all of their customers with respect and smiles. Top notch crew from the front of the house to the back. Furthermore, should you need the restrooms, they do have two gender neutral rooms that were decently maintained. Overall, Khao Hom is not your everyday Thai restaurant nor is it your run of the mill brunch spot - this is a unique experience with food created out of passion to merge these together. The result is an aesthetically pleasing yet hunger extinguishing meal that will have you discovering new flavors and craving for more. With its proximity to the city center, it's a great a spot to plan out a lunch or brunch before a nice stroll around or a movie. Thai food has never looked and tasted so good! read more

Grabbed lunch with a friend and we enjoyed this place. We shared the tom yum crab omelette and the mama pad kee mao. We both liked the pad kee mao over the omelette. It was really flavorful and it all came together really well for us. I think we were a bit underwhelmed with the omelette. It wasn't bad, but I expected a bit more in terms of flavor and it wasn't much to remember. The cocktails were really yummy and creative. read more

The rating for this restaurant mainly comes from the service our party experienced. Our waitress came across unengaged and unfriendly to our family. She was annoyed with the questions we inquired about the menu, especially so with the curry. In one instance, when we asked about recommendations beyond the Massaman short rib (as we thought it was too large and expensive) and green curry, mainly inquiring between the yellow and red curry, the lady responded by saying she already told us the green curry was good. Otherwise, the food was still delicious. The crab omelet was our winner. The portions are filling. Unfortunately just didn't have the best experience and having visited this place last year I also had a similar (though more positive) service experience. read more

Have been to their sister shop in SJ so was keen to try our local one here. Parking is super easy in the public lot behind the shop row. Ambiance is cool, very airy and inviting. Came for a weekday lunch, 3 of us and got seated right away no problem. Love the special options on the menu, so many interesting things to try! The koong karee (prawn curry) and har mok seafood were my favorite. Special mention for the khao soi too! Big portions and took home enough for another meal. Prices are a little higher than the usual Thai joint but it's worth it. read more

Staying in Hayward with the family for a tag a long work weekend. We picked this place and drove downtown. The general vibe around the restaurant was nice. Lots of restaurants and shops. The restaurant was laid out well. It was busy but pretty quiet. We had the fried mushrooms (meh), beef salad (so good), the crab omelette (lots of tender delicious lump crab), fried chicken fried rice (more for the kids but tasty), green curry (really good. I asked for Thai spicy and it was not very hot.) we also treated ourselves to coconut ice cream and mango with sticky rice. Our server was very nice and attentive. Overall a really good experience. read more

Wow Wow Wow! What a great find! The menu was creatively extensive and it made ordering what to eat for lunch difficult. But we managed and everything was delicious.

Got fooled by the inflated ratings once again. :( I ordered Roti Gai Tod and the fried chicken thigh tasted VERY bland + it was wayyyy overcooked and dried. The cucumber salad was also not evenly seasoned. Some were well marinated in the vinegar & sugar mixture, while some weren't marinated at all. On the other hand, the curry flavor was spot on. Service wise- it was a bit slow but they were probably doing their best with only two servers on the floor during peak lunch hours. read more

Khao Hom had been on my to-visit list in Hayward for a while. Without asking me, my boyfriend planned a birthday lunch outing for me here! Neither of us had been here before, and it's like it was meant to be! Ambience-wise, it's feels formal enough for a nice brunch, but casual enough to feel relaxed and dress semi-formal or semi-casual. They had Valentine's Day decorations even though it was still January, with paper hearts and tinsel decorating the restaurant. The our waitress came to take our order, she was so sweet and said I'm so beautiful with very healthy skin, and told my boyfriend he's very lucky, which tickled me pink. We got two Chef's Specials: 1) Chicken and Waffle: Croissant waffle, crispy chicken thigh, syrup, whipped butter 2. Mama Pad Kee Mao: Stir-friend instant noodles, homemade spicy sauce, fried egg, seafood, bacon, bell pepper, onion, fingerroot, tomatoes, basil, green bean, peppercorn. We really enjoyed both dishes! The Mama Pad Kee Mao came first, and we asked for the mildest level of spice. We were pleased it wasn't too spicy, and the texture of the noodles were great! Seafood was plentiful, with shrimp, scallops, squid, octopus, and clams. The chicken and waffle was so great! The croissant waffle had a great texture that was perfectly chewy and crisp, and the chicken was juicy with crunchy breaded skin. It came with butter, maple syrup, and what tasted like a chili sweet sauce. One of the bathrooms was leaking, which was the downside of our visit. The staff was so nice with helping us take photos in the restaurant! What a gem in downtown Hayward! I was so happy my boyfriend brought me here for my birthday! read more

Overall: Superb, authentic Thai curry. I love Thai curry. Not casually. Like obsessively. At this point I've eaten enough to have a pretty solid internal scoreboard, and this place easily lands on the right side of it. The space is relaxed and unfussy, seating was quick, and the menu has enough variety to keep things interesting without feeling bloated. The pumpkin curry alone was good enough that I briefly considered ordering a second dish just to keep the momentum going. I didn't, but I will absolutely be back for the green curry Parking Street parking. Surprisingly easy I had: Chicken Pumpkin Curry (5/5): Wow. This one nailed the fundamentals. The curry base was perfectly balanced with a rich coconut backbone, gentle heat, and just enough natural sweetness from the pumpkin to pull everything together. The pumpkin came in generous chunks that held their shape and actually tasted like pumpkin instead of dissolving into mush. The chicken was tender, the vegetables still had texture, and the whole bowl felt hearty without tipping into heavy. It also comes with rice, which is always a bonus and completes the dish the way it should. This is the kind of curry that reminds you why you love Thai food in the first place read more

Khao Hom - Thai Near Me - Hayward, California

Pretty disappointed because Khao Hom is the first result when I searched up 'cute brunch spots" on yelp. Was expecting something instagram-worthy, maybe some stylish interior here and there, and cute photo spots. I didn't see any photos of the inside of the restaurant on yelp, so I had no clue that Khao Hom would look like a regular family restaurant you could find everywhere. Felt like they only put effort into the area near the entrance of the store, where they have a grassy shelf and a weaved palm tree. Cute, but there's gotta be more to qualify as a "cute brunch spot". We ordered the pad thai, Roti gai tod, Ka-Pow Short Rib Benedict, and Pad Ka-Pow. I found the pad thai great, good portion and really flavorful. One of the better pad thais I've had, and I loved the color. The tofu absorbed all the pad thai sauce and when you bit into it felt like a pad thai bomb! Totally recommend this dish. The Roti gai tod was a big dish of surprises. I found the fried chicken great: it wasn't too dry and the batter wasn't so thick it felt heavy. However, the roti was really really oily and soggy. When thinking about roti, I would imagine something that is crunchy, flakes falling out when you bite into it. However, this roti tasted like an oily pancake, no joke. The curry was great though! Loved loved loved the aroma. BUT, the potatoes that were in the curry were SOOO undercooked, I don't even know how to tell you without exaggerating! They were so dense and had that raw, "sandy" texture of a raw potato! Dang, what a bummer. The Pad Ka-Pow was okay. Not nothing much about it that stood out to me.. I guess it's because it was a really safe order. Lastly we ordered the Ka-Pow Short Rib Benedict. This, actually, was not a plate of surprises, but a plate of disappointment. I've seen many photos of this on their yelp page, so it really convinced me to order it, as I thought it was a customer favorite. (Or maybe it is, and I just really unlucky this time) The short rib was really lean and stiff, the type of meat you can find on the bottom of a pot of a chinese soup. In short, it was overcooked, and was not tender at all. For this dish, you're able to choose between salad, or potatoes. I chose potatoes. Again, I hate to repeat that the potatoes were hard. Last thing: the egg benedicts were overcooked!! Have you ever had an egg benedict where the yolk was not runny??? I haven't either.. until I came here! Service was good. Though they were busy Here, There, and Everywhere, they were able to respond to us promptly. Maybe I'll be back, but I would totally rather give another place a try when I search up "cute brunch spots". PS. Did you catch a Beatles song somewhere in my review? read more

A huge fan of Thai food and wanted to try a new restaurant. Khao Hom was of the restaurants that showed up with impressive ratings so I decided to try it with my family. Parking is very tough. Very limited street parking but we were able to find parking about one block away. Parking is available at the garage, one block away. Upon entering, we were greeted within five minutes but we were very rushed. It wasn't full, it was roughly half full and still plenty of empty table available. As we arrived at 2pm and we were told that their was kitchen was closing soon, we were very rushed to order. We were given water and placed our orders and never really checked on, afterwards. The ambience is very simple and the space is quite small. It's very loud and we can hear the conversations from others because of the echos. Our appetizer and entrees arrived altogether, which is perfectly okay. Our appetizer and entrees were flavorful and delicious. I enjoyed my meal very much but I didn't enjoy the service. Not very attentive or kind, just very pushy and rushing. I would return in the future for to go orders but most likely avoid dine in. The food is delicious and would recommend. read more

Where do I begin... I LOVE THIS PLACE I have been here multiple times, even gotten take out and it has never disappointed me! My favorites are the crab fried rice, papaya salad, and the khao soi beef short rib! Flavors are balanced for the crab fried rice and I love spicy food, so the papaya salad has a nice kick to it. The Khao soi beef short rib has a slight kick to it and the meat falls off the bone so easily. For drinks, their thai iced tea and thai ice coffee are very addicting!! I always order one when I go :) I haven't encountered a long wait and the ambiance inside is always welcoming! read more

I've come here twice now and I would recommend it especially if you want a cool cocktail with your meal. Parking is easy, both times we've been able to find street parking near the front immediately unless we happened to luck out (not a frequent patron of this neighborhood). So far I've tried the following. Brunch Crab tom yum omelette for brunch. Although the crab is real, I'm not sure if I'd get this dish again because of the portion/value. It's good, just pricey for what you get. Thai tea pancake. This one was alright. It was definitely on the denser side, rather than fluffy. The pancake itself had some thai tea flavoring, but it didn't taste that great. We did like the thai tea syrup though. It was nice having the fruit, although I felt like the tea and fruit sort of clashed so I ate them separately. The drinks stood out! Thai Wakeup with jalapeno and mint. So clean and crisp. It's smooth because of the Tequesta (agave wine). Strong, yet tasty! I love that it's unique, and I'd definitely get this one again. My second visit I immediately ordered this one for dinner but it felt weaker?? Not sure if I imagined it lol. Peach Whiskey which was sweet and tart. I could not taste any of the whiskey. It's much lower in alcohol content, but refreshing and summery. I like my drinks stronger so I'd probably skip this one next time. Dinner Pad Thai. Classic, tasted great, texture was perfect. Some places overcook the noodles to the point where they are soggy. Here it was Al dente, and had a bounce to it. I'd get this again. Yellow curry. This was great, although sweeter than I expected it to be, I still felt like the flavors were great. Creamy and sweet, it was a good dish to pair with the Pad Thai because it balanced out the tartness in that dish. I'd also get this again. The area is nice and convenient for grabbing coffee or tea after brunch, and the inside is modern, clean, warm and cozy. read more

I had brunch here with one of my friends last Friday and we had an ok experience. We arrived at 10:30 and we were the first people there. It took a few minutes for us to be greeted and then seated and then some more time after that for our waitress to take our orders. I ordered the Tom Yum crab omelet; my friend ordered the eggs benedict, and we agreed to share the ube pancake on the side. I also ordered the ube latte to drink while my friend ordered the matcha latte. When we got our drinks, mine tasted like milk with light ube flavoring and my friend didn't care for her drink either. I'll bet if we had ordered Thai iced teas, it would've been a lot better. It didn't take too long until our food arrived. We tried the ube pancake first and unfortunately it wasn't that great. The pancake itself was dry and tasteless and the small serving of syrup it came with didn't help. I'm sure the ube pancake entree was a lot better as we saw someone next to us eating it and it was topped with fruit and whipped cream. That would have definitely helped with the taste and dry texture. The omelet was really good though. The sauce was delicious and it was a perfect combination with the rice. I wasn't too crazy about the crab, but I loved everything else about that dish. I ended up sharing a bit of it with my friend as she said she wasn't happy with her meal. I saw our waitress glance to see if we were doing ok, but it seemed like she didn't want to interrupt our conversation. I noticed that she was the only one on the floor and the place was getting busy, but her demeanor seemed a bit cold and she really looked like she didn't want to be there. I'm not sure if I would come back here. The Tom Yum dish was good, but that was about it. Based on other reviews, it looks like their traditional dishes are popular, but for me there are many other Thai places that serve delicious food while providing good customer service. I think that's why I was a bit taken aback with my experience here. I've always received warm welcomes and great service with every other Thai restaurant that I've been to. I might come back to try their more traditional dishes, but it'll be awhile before I return. read more
