I ordered a lunch special and a pad see ew off the regular menu. Both tasted good. I like that it is less oily compared to other Thai restaurants. Flavor was on point. Pad Thai was not too sour. Portion is perfect too! I picked Thai tea with my lunch special. It was not overpower with condensed milk sweetness. Staff is friendly and attentive. The place is quite big with plenty of tables. Decor is new and clean. 10/10 will return. read more

Hubs wanted to come here to try their fried rice with fried chicken on top, except he couldn't custom his order to have fried chicken in top? I'm not sure how he amended his order because I didn't pay for the tab. We also wanted to try the khao soi, but apparently reviewers say not to try it because it's pretty plain. Portions were incredibly small for the price, so we all split a dish and then hopped over to another restaurant. read more

Came here last night with the family after taking pictures. The restaurant itself is in a decently clean plaza, the decor inside was modern and was pretty clean overall. For food we order the roti, pad thai, moo dang and the kai tod. Unfortunately, I didn't get to try the pad thai, so I won't be writing a review on that. The roti was probably the best thing we had The curry sauce that came with it was great along with the pickled veggiesI would recommend getting this. 5/5* The kai tod (fried chicken bowl) was good, but portion size was a bit underwhelming the amount of meat that my brother-in-law got was probably half a chicken breast but they were definitely generous on the fried rice on the bottom. 3/5* Finally the Moo Dang, my fiance and I shared this dish and I can say that it was a bit underwhelming. The meat was not juicy at all, a bit on the chewy side, and they essentially put red chasu sauce all over the meat. The fried rice lacks wok flavor if that's what you're looking for and I'm not sure I would recommend this dish 2/5* Ambiance: 4/5* Service: 4/5* Food: 3/5* My rating is solely on the food and not service and ambiance, but add those just for a general sense of the the establishment. P.S. this place charges you 20% for a service fee for parties of 6 or more whereas the norm should be 18%. read more

This place took over the old Rojoz Wraps storefront. The parking situation can be hit or miss, there was a long line if cars for the mcdonalds drive thru that was hindering traffic into the lot. Luckily, we walked so avoided all of that. They were pretty busy, I did appreciate that the staff weren't hovering over us and only came over when we got their attention. We ordered the chicken pad kee mao, pretty standard. It came out and looked really nice, but when I started eating it, it was soooo salty. I don't think I'll be back, just wasn't to my taste. My partner also thought it was salty and his tolerance is higher than mine. His initial few bites were fine, but at the end, he agreed with me that the dish was too salty. read more

The service and atmosphere were nice. We had reservations but it wasn't really necessary. The food was ok. Pad Thai was a bit too sour for me but my daughter liked it. The roti was too oily but the yellow curry was very good. We ordered the deep fried sea bass. The flavor was good when you got some of the sauce but there wasnt a lot of it to be all over the fish. Also the sea bass didn't have a lot of meat in it. The pork belly we got was good and actually better the next day as a left over. Overall this place is ok. We wouldn't drive out for it though. read more

Sat outside at Khao Thai in Saratoga and had a really nice experience overall. The patio is a nice setup--perfect for a casual meal. Food was solid across the board. The pad thai was well-balanced, not overly sweet, and had good texture. The green curry stood out with a rich, flavorful sauce and just the right level of heat. Also tried the basil chicken, which had a nice kick and fresh taste. Service was friendly and efficient. read more

Stumbled upon this place last night after seeing the lot for Siam Station, my usual goto Thai, crowded. Glad that I did because it was a fantastic experience. Got seated for dinner around 8pm almost immediately. Good mix of the classic dishes, spice levels aligned with expectations, really nice ambiance and decor. Mix of inside and outside seating. A bit understaffed, but they work hard to make the rounds. Decent price at roughly $40/pp Had the beef pad see ew, beef pad kee mao, Thai iced tea, and roti with yellow curry. Everything was delicious. The beef had a nice smoky wok hei taste, noodles were cooked well, and both entrees had just the right amount of vegetables. I'd say it was just enough food for two moderately hungry people. I'd love a bit more curry for the roti though. Maybe I'll opt for a full curry order next time. Looking forward to the next visit and exploring the rest of the menu. Khao Thai, you've got a new regular. See yall soon! read more

My family made a reservation at Khao Thai restaurant for a Sunday gathering. It is located at the corner of a strip mall facing McDonald's. It was larger and more upscale than I expected. The interior is elegantly designed with bronze, grey and brown hues, laminate wood floors, small trees in planter boxes and exotic light fixtures. Having lived in Hollywood for close to a decade, my expectations when it comes to Thai food are pretty high. Thai Town down there has a lot of variety and many quality restaurants such as Jitlada, Mae Malai, Ruen Pair, Palms Thai, Sapp Coffee, etc. We had a nice corner table for 12 people. The drink menu has sake options, mocktails, Thai iced tea, butterfly pea lemonade and Singha beer but no hard liquor cocktails. I ordered a Mai Tai, which was bright and colorful. It was topped with mint leaves and a Maraschino cherry. The sake blended with the juices smoothly and it was better than expected. We ordered many dishes to be served family-style. We started off with Roti, which was served with a yellow curry sauce. It came out hot and flaky. A nice chewy texture. Next came the Crab Fried Rice. The texture was a bit mushy and the rice was clumped together. The crab was fresh and the flavor was pretty mild. For the next set of dishes, we got the Crispy Pork Belly, Pad Thai, Stir-fried Cabbage, Green Papaya Salad, Chicken Larb with sticky rice and Tom Yum with seafood. On the whole, every dish had nice traditional Thai flavors and the presentation was solid. The prevailing sentiment around the table was that flavor of most entrees was overpowered with salt, especially the cabbage, larb and Tom Yum. About 30% too much salt, in my estimation. The Tom Yum was so concentrated with salt and seafood that it was borderline inedible. It was a shame, because I was otherwise pretty impressed with the experience at Khao Thai. The service was patient and friendly, even as it started getting busier during dinner service. read more

SERVICE - located in San Jose near the westgate shopping complex - large parking lot in front with plenty of spots - interior has ample seating to accommodate large or smaller groups - no wait on a weekday evening - service is good and was able to give us information regarding allergens - food served relatively quickly - ambiance good for a semi casual meal MENU - standard Thai selection of starters and entrees - vegetarian/vegan options available - average price FOOD - yellow curry with tofu (7/10): carrots, potato, onion, and tofu in a creamy coconut curry sauce. This was the only curry that did not have fish sauce. It was creamy and rich with a good amount of vegetables compared to curry sauce. - pineapple fried rice (8/10): fried rice with carrots, peas, pineapples, raisins, and cashews. A subtly sweet but not overpowering accompaniment that pairs well with other stir fries and curries as a part of a family meal. - pad kee mao (5/10): wide rice noodles with mixed vegetables. This was okay but i felt like it was too oily for my taste. - stir fried eggplant with Thai basil and tofu (8/10): eggplant stir fried with mixed vegetables and basil in house made stir fry sauce. This was one of the better dishes we ordered. The eggplant is soft and melty but a tad oily. It would also be good with tofu though we chose to do mixed vegetables. WOULD I GO BACK? Not sure. It's a decent option if you want Thai food in the area but i would not go out of my way to seek it. read more

Final Thoughts: 4.30/5 We came here for a simple dinner because there was a boba spot that we wanted to try nearly. Quite crowded for a Friday night. Once we were actually inside, the experience went smoothly. Nothing too notable. Just another casual dinner for my friends and I. Food: Crab Fried Rice: 3.9/5 This is their pan-fried jasmine rice with crab meat, egg, and yellow, and green onions. Seems like a simple enough dish. The seasonings are interesting. The rice has all of the seasoning and they seemed to hold off on all additional seasonings with the crab. To get the best balance of flavors, my recommendation is to mix everything together before consuming. Initially, we just ate it as it came out without mixing, and it was so unbalanced because the rice had all of the seasonings while the crab had none. There's some cucumber slices for crunch and freshness, but I would really prefer the Persian cucumbers. While the seasonings and flavors were there, it was just a little bit too salty for me. I'm definitely not one to salt my food this much, so I didn't each much of this dish compared to the other two. Chicken Massaman Curry: 4.2/5 This dish has chicken thigh in coconut milk curry with potatoes, peanuts, tamarind, and aromatics. They serve it with roti and picked cucumbers. This dish was definitely my favorite. The cut they use is chicken thigh, so it is naturally very tender and just pulls apart. The flavor of the chicken was also nice. That combined with the curry sauce was nice. The roti was crispy and warm. They are a little oily for me, which seems like a normal thing, but I'm just not used to it. The curry sauce was well seasoned and had all of the nice spices incorporated. Perhaps this is not the usual, but I just prefer a thick curry versus a thinned out curry. I think it just coats the meat and I can get more when I dip the roti. Not the biggest concern here because the flavor compensated for it. Pad Thai with Pork: 4.0/5 Second favorite was the pad thai. This is their traditional Thai-style pan-fried rice noodles with egg, tofu, bean sprouts, and green onions. They garnish with fresh bean sprouts, crushed peanuts, and lime. Caution the peanut allergy here. Of note, my friend dislikes bean sprouts, so we typically ask for them to remove that. We chose pork for protein today and it was quite nice. There seems to only be a few pieces of meat, but we had other proteins in the other dishes. The flavor of this dish was really nice and balanced. I like that they seem to use fresh red Thai chilis versus a paste. You can visually see them in the dish too. There is a kick to it, for me, it wasn't overpowering. Menu: Easy to Navigate Their menu looks very simple and their labels/titles are very clear. I like that it is easy to navigate versus some menus looking like a wall of text. Something I also appreciate is their descriptions for each of the items. Helps to visualize each dish. --------- Quality: Made to order These foods came out nice and hot and I did almost burn my tongue on one of them. Not quite ideal, but I like that each dish does come out fresh to order. We did have a little bit of a waiting time, but it seemed worth it in the end. Price: Average Their prices do seem to be average priced items for what is sold. Their portion sizes seem appropriate too. The price range will be around $15 to $20 with a few outlier dishes. This seems normal in the bay area these days. Service/Waiting/Reservations: Simple and fast The service was fairly quick. Note that they do not have a yelp wait list, but they do allow you to make reservations on their website. When we got there, we added our names to the waitlist and stepped out. They were fairly quick with the service and nice overall. Ambiance: Average restaurant Pretty average restaurant. Our table was placed at a very questionable spot though? The other tables seemed like they fit in as a seating table and that's not to say ours was not. It was just placed in a more questionable area. At first, I kind of liked it because we had our own table that was away from the rest of the tables, but my friend pointed out that we are in fact within fairly close proximity to the restroom area. We were far enough and there's this invisible divider, but he was correct about the location being more awkward than anything. Yes, we did have this space around us to ourselves, but there were times where it felt a little off with people just walking in a out of the restroom around us while we were eating. Location/Parking: Big enough parking area This place is located at the corner intersection of Prospect Road and Lawrence Expressway. Cere Tea is located in the same plaza and they have a Trader Joes within the plaza right across from here. The parking space seems optimal. We don't usually have a hard time finding a space here. There are some spaces farther back too, but we usually can find on closer to the front. read more

This is my new favorite Thai restaurant! I'm still dreaming about their fried eggplant dish. Honestly every dish was such a hit except their Khao Soi noodles (but honestly no one has mastered that outside of Thailand, to my knowledge). All my friends thanked me for dragging them here. Parking can be a pain since this lot is shared with McDonald's and a few other shops. If so you'll have to park on the street a block away. But I promise it's worth it! I highly recommend: - Pad see ew - standard but tasty - Eggplant - fried, sauteed, and sooo flavorful - Roti (only eat this fresh - never do takeout!) - Papaya salad - nice and spicy! - Kra pow - freshly friend - delish - Green curry - rich and flavorful - Thai iced tea - not too sweet, great flavor I'd avoid the Khao Soi noodles because it's mostly a pile of dry, very deep fried noodles without enough broth or flavor. Everything else was an easy 5/5! read more

This place opened up 4 months ago - it is amazing! The food is very unique 5/5 - you will get your regular red/green curry and noodles and rice dishes. But they have some additional section called street food (no veggies dishes in this section - sorry). The cocktails are very unique 5/5 - I liked the sweet kiss, with coconut milk and dragon fruit and sake. The Tom Yum Margarita was also very good. I think they have a beer and wine license, and sake is in that license. Since all cocktails were sake based :) The decor was spectacular! 5/5 new vibe place - logo is super cute. The servers were very polite but seemed over worked. Would be wonderful to get a smile and welcoming feel from them - Asian hospitality, feels like someone is welcoming you home. I would give 4/5 for it. I will definitely come back again to try some of the other dishes. Dishes I have never seen in Thai restaurants before. The rice salad looked like a Burmese salad but was much healthier. The fried pork was yummy with the sauces. Their spicy sauce is very spicy - so if you don't enjoy the heat, please let them know. I thought it was very flavorful! read more

Ordered take out for the fam and everyone agreed that the food was mediocre at best. The roti was SUPER oily, it even left a puddle in the take out container. The khao soi was mostly deep fried noodles and the fresh noodles looked more like a hockey puck. The pork in the khao soi was super dry, almost inedible. We ordered a pumpkin curry with beef and again the meat was super dry. The pad thai was just ok, a little on the sour side and oddly very yellow. read more

I came here with some friends for dinner after hearing great things from a coworker a few times. The restaurant looked cute and cozy - nice decorations everywhere. We ended up ordering a few dishes for everyone to try - khao neow moo tod (fried pork), chicken massaman curry, pad see ew, khao soi (egg noodles in curry), som tum salad (papaya), chicken satay and for dessert - mango sticky rice and fried banana w/ice cream. Everything was delicious! My favorites were the som tum salad (something I usually get at Thai places) and the khao neow moo tod. Each of my friends liked a different dish, so it all worked out. The som tum was very refreshing and had a good crispiness to it. The fried pork had a slightly sweet flavor that worked well with the sticky rice and dipping sauce (loved the sauce on the left side!). The mango sticky rice was nicely presented with blue sticky rice (pea flower) and tasted wonderful. Service was quick and friendly and everything was presented in such a beautiful way. Luckily, this place is close to work - so I can grab something on the way home when the mood hits. I can't wait to try some of the other dishes! read more

I visited this restaurant with friends and got reservations for our large group in advance. There were plenty of diverse items on the menu, and we had to try a good variety. It took a while for us to get our order in, but our appetizers and main dishes came out within 10 minutes and 25 minutes, respectively. Pad See Ew with Beef: I wish the noodles had more texture and color, but they were nicely cooked and paired well with tender beef. Green Curry with Chicken: This dish was rich and aromatic, and the mild spiciness was perfect for us Pineapple Fried Rice with Shrimp: This dish was fragrant and sweet, and the shrimp were well-cooked. This was my personal favorite! Roti with Yellow Curry: This was a great appetizer, as the roti was flaky and great for dipping in the delicious curry. Som Tum Salad: Loved the tanginess and slight spiciness of this salad. read more

I tried this place on a Sunday night with my family. The restaurant wasn't very busy when we first arrived, but it was pretty full by the time we left. It took a little while for the waitresses to greet us, but we didn't mind too much. However, when we were greeted, our waitress gave half our table warm water and half cold cucumber water. All of the waters were in the same glass, which made me think it was a mistake of some sort. For food, we ordered the roti, crispy pork belly, stir fried eggplant, yellow curry, pumpkin curry, pad see ew, and khao fried rice. The roti was ok. All of the pieces were pretty greasy, but it was still enjoyable. The curries were also just ok. For me, they tasted a little bland. The pumpkin curry didn't have a strong pumpkin flavor, but the spice level was perfect. I don't LOVE spicy food, but the medium spice was just the right amount. If I come back, I'll definitely ask for medium spice for all my dishes. The pad see ew was good but nothing special. The standouts were definitely the stir fried eggplant, khao fried rice, and pork belly. The eggplant had good flavor; the fried rice had a good amount of veggies/meat; and the pork belly was cooked perfectly, with flavorful sauces on the side. The workers were attentive and pleasant and it is definitely a nice environment for any occasion. Overall, I really wanted to love this place, but I think it is just okay compared to other Thai places in the area. I may come back in a few months to give it another try since it's still a fairly new restaurant! read more

It was easy to make a reservation online. We arrived a few minutes early but were seated right away by the friendly staff. Modern interiors with a touch of Thai flair. First time here and weren't too sure about the food. Boy! Were we surprised!! Every single item we ordered was full of flavor and delicious. We had the fried egg rolls as an appetizer and it was crunchy with a great filling and dipping sauce. For mains, we had the pad Thai noodles with tofu and Pineapple fried rice with tofu and vegetables. Both dishes looked appetizing and tasted excellent. Even my picky 4 year old went back for seconds and even thirds. To round things off and to make my sweet tooth happy, we tried the fried banana and ice cream. It was crispy sweet and delectable. Such a satisfying meal! We'll be back for more. read more

Friend and I came here for a weekend lunch and the interior is so cute. The staff was friendly and checked in on us often, so vibes and service were 5/5. For food, we got pad Thai and pad see ew. I got the pad Thai Thai level hot and they delivered on spice! It was super spicy which I loved, but the sauce was kind of wet and sweet which isn't my preferred. The pad see ew came with carrots which I'm not used to. My friend liked their pad see ew but I found the noodles to be a bit soggy and wet as well. Food for me was a 3/5. I'd probably come back to try it out again because maybe we came on an off day? Either way, super cute vibes for a date night or girly hang (and it's right next to a matcha spot which is a huge plus)! read more

What a wonderful restaurant! My family and I ate dinner here last night for the very first time. It was delicious! We ordered 4 dishes. Kai Tod - battered crispy fried juicy chicken with a sweet dipping sauce. Pad Thai- rice noodles with chicken. Chicken yellow curry - nice tasty curry with chicken Crispy Pork Belly - served with a sweet sauce All 4 dishes were super yummy! The fried chicken was juicy and crispy. The belly pork was tasty and juicy with a nice crispy skin. The pad Thai was a winner as well. The yellow curry was very tasty and creamy in flavor. For appetizers we had fresh spring rolls and my wife and son loved them! Crispy vegetables surrounding shrimp wrapped by a rice wrapper. How yummy! The Roti was light and airy and TASTY! The service was wonderful! Super friendly people work there all had smiles on and were very nice to talk with. Ambiance is very comfortable and inviting!

This is a newish spot on the Saratoga/San Jose border that i was really excited to try. It's located in a strip mall across from the future costco site on Lawrence and Prospect. We came in and were greeted relatively fast. They were clearly understaffed as people were running all over the place doing whatever was needed like bussing, delivering food, making drinks. Fortunately everyone was friendly and the vibe was good so it all turned out ok. The decor and space was super nice and clean. They did a great job with the remodel. Getting our orders in took about 10 minutes but once the food began coming out the rest came pretty fast. The food itself was pretty ok overall. While the crispy pork belly was not crispy the dips it came with were tasty. The papaya salad was large and generous. Curry was ok. Overall happy with the food but definitely not blown away. We will def try again once things get a little more settled. read more

Glad to have a local Thai eatery by us. I stopped in on a Friday night early enough to beat the dinner rush and was seated promptly. Khor Moo Yang (Grilled Pork Neck) The pork neck was fatty and tender at the same time, served with sticky rice and two dipping sauces. The slices were cut thinner than I like. I used to order this in SF at Ler Ros and theirs is my favorite. I was expecting a bit more depth of flavor and between the sauces, I preferred the sweet plum sauce over the spicy one. Overall: 3/5. Pad Kee Mao with Chicken Flat noodles with sweet basil and bell pepper--this dish felt like Pad See Ew's bolder, more flavorful cousin. It had elevated savory notes with a light spicy kick. This has been my go-to dish lately, and they did a solid job. 4/5. Chicken Massaman Curry This was my first time trying Massama curry and I was intrigued by the tamarind. The flavor leaned heavily toward star anise and five-spice, and I didn't get much coconut richness. The chicken arrived as one large piece, slightly cold, and without a knife to cut it. It was served with roti on the side. I'd personally skip this next time and stick with the more classic curries. 2/5. I was mid-way through my meal when I noticed I didn't have chopstick. They have tiny plates for cucumbers and I felt like I was trying to harpoon my cucumber pieces with their heavy fork. Since they were in soft opening I landed on a 3.5. I'd probably come back--this spot is close by, the flavors have potential, and I think they just need some fine-tuning as they settle in. read more

I've been on a Thai food kick lately because I love burn your booty hole spicy. Saw KHAO had dog-friendly outdoor seating so here we are... Opening in late October 2025, KHAO took over Rojoz Wraps. I believe it's from the same owner(s) of Khaosan in Campbell/SJ. Open for takeout, indoor and outdoor dining. M E N U Northern Thai Cuisine (not as spicy as Southern Thai): Apps, street food, soups, salads, curries, rice + noodle dishes, entrees, etc. Soft opening promo: Complimentary Thai Iced Tea. Tea flavor wasn't strong but hey, it's free. F O O D * Khao Neow Moo Tod: Marinated Fried Pork w/ sticky rice, pickled cucumbers, spicy dipping sauce ($21.95): https://tinyurl.com/yz6awfc3 Flavorful, umami-rich pork shoulder (a bit dry) served with a punchy nam jim jaew and and a tomato-ey jeow mak len for dipping. The pickled cucumbers with red onions were refreshing while the sticky rice provided a good neutral base. * Pad See Ew: Pan-Fried Flat Noodles w/ Chinese broccoli, carrots, egg, dark soy (Beef-$19.95): https://tinyurl.com/2fmuhbtt - Price varies, depending on protein chosen. While the savory sweet flavor was on point, the flat rice noodles were too wet and didn't have any wok hei (smoky char). Beef was on the tough side. * Pla Neung Manao: Whole Steamed Asian Sea Bass w/ lime, garlic, chili ($35.95): https://tinyurl.com/4vnn6u4s - Takes 20-30 minutes to prepare The sea bass is steamed, placed into an elevated pan with a flame underneath, and the sauce/broth is poured over. Legit bold Thai flavors - mildly spicy, sour, citrusy, garlicky, and herbaceous. The sea bass was overcooked for my preference tho and could have use less steaming time since it continues to cook in the pan. Rice is a must to mellow out the flavors. Maybe you need to ask but I didn't see any Thai condiment caddies: dry chili, chili in vinegar, chili sauce, etc. S E R V I C E Friendly and warm Thai hospitality. Our sweet server even offered water to the pups. Arrived before the weekend lunch rush, pretty prompt food service. A M B I A N C E Modern and minimalist with a semi-open kitchen. Partially covered patio. Overall, the food needs some fine tuning but I'm sure they'll get there in several months. When in the Saratoga area, I wouldn't hesitate to return to KHAO for their outdoor dining. read more

As an Indian vegetarian, thai food is always our family's first choice. We have a goto Ghai place, but this time wanted to try a new one and found this. Looking at the great reviews, we were very excited to eat here. Place is very clean and gives an upscale feel. The bar area and open kitchen gives a great modern vibe. Vegetarian menu choices are standard, so we ordered a curry, noodles and Khao Soi. We ordered medium spicy. Order came pretty fast and we dug in. Loved the noodles (that were a tad spicy for medium), liked the Khao Soi but I'd say I have eaten better. Green curry was good as well. All in all average Thai Vegetarian options. read more

A new Thai Restaurant named KHAO Thai Restaurant at 18562 Prospect Rd, Saratoga, CA 95070 is having a soft opening from October 24 thru October 29 with a grand opening on October 30, 2025. My wife and I tried this restaurant and were warmly greeted and promptly seated. The restaurant has been fully remodeled and looks fantastic. The restrooms are really nicely designed with a separate wash station. Everything was spotlessly clean. We ordered: Pineapple Fried Rice Pad Thai Pork Kohl Sol Butterfly Pea Lemonade Everything was cooked to perfection. The taste was incredible and not too spicy (they do give you a side serving of sauce which was really hot-but delicious). The Khol Sol (a soup with krispy noodles) really tasted different than anything I've tried. The lemonade was a bit on the strong side but really good. Pad Thai was some of the best I've tasted but the star of the meal was the pineapple fried rice-absolutely yummy with fresh cut pieces of pineapple, cashews, peanuts, and other items. I was told this is a family owned restaurant and not a chain. The service was stellar as everyone helped out on serving us. I did recommend that they offer sticky rice with mango on the menu. We were so impressed for a soft opening that I HIGHLY RECOMMEND KHAO! read more

Came here for lunch and overall would recommend trying! The restaurant is nicely decorated, the food is tasty and fresh (although portions are small, so would recommend ordering 1-2 dishes per person), and the service was decent! I wasn't blown away for the price, thus the 4 star review. If you're looking for a nicer ambiance than your typical Thai restaurant, I would suggest this place. read more

4.5 Everything was really tasty. The larb was probably the best i have tasted. The flavors were vibrant and everything fresh. Penang curry was good as well. Good flavor. We got mild but will probably kick it up next time. We were not a dan of the crispy curry noodles. The texture of the noodles reminded me of the old "school cup of noodles." The actual curry was good tho. Lastly, the service was excellent and they were playing pop music for background noise. Overall, a very enjoyable experience. read more

New restaurant alert in West San Jose/Saratoga! This area is becoming a hot spot with several new restaurants popping up over the past few months. AMBIANCE: Contemporary open style with lot of warm fluted wood, live greenery. Kitchen is semi open as well and we can watch them cooking away. They have some black and white pictures of people who I can only assume are the owners upfront. SERVICE and PRICING: very friendly. They seem to have gotten popular pretty quickly. There was a long wait time when we went on Friday evening. Prices are in the $15-$25 range. FOOD: Definitely one of the better if not the best Thai food in the bayarea. They do not go crazy with heat levels as well. This is what we got- *Prata: 5/5: this was handsdown the best roti prata we had in the bayarea. They had three sauce options and we sampled the green and yellow curry sauce. The yellow sauce was the better option and I recommend getting that. The prata was incredibly flaky and not very greasy. It was still soft inside as well. *Basil fried rice:4.5/5: the basil was crisped up, I guess they deep fried it? The fried rice was itself was decent, the chicken was soft and the veggies crisp. *Khao Soi: 3.5/5: I love this dish and always try to order it if I find it on the menu. The version here reminded me of the one in KhaoSan Thai restaurant. Delicious but the chicken was gamey. I wish they find a way to fix the gaminess of the chicken and it would take it to the next level. *Eggplant with chicken: 4/5: I am a sucker for Asian style eggplant. I think they mastered cooking this humble vegetable. The version here was unlike any I had before though. The eggplant itself was battered and deep fried. Still delicious but not what I was expecting. I guess the battering technique was to prevent it from absorbing a lot of oil? read more

Our new favorite Thai place. When it first opened, we came three times that month! We have slowed to once or twice a month now, but always leave satisfied. We always start off with the Som-Tum salad with grilled shrimp. We ask for mild, but it has a good kick any ways. For soup, we love the Tom Yum with veggies. The Moo Tod pork is our favorite, although the Moo Yang and crispy pork belly can't miss either. The steamed sea bass is their specialty and was delicious. The yellow curry is another good dish to round out the order. We usually skip the noodles and rice because we are watching our carbs right now. Everyone we have introduced Khao Thai to are smitten! It can get busy at prime dinner hours, but luckily, we have taken to "old people" dinner time and get their before the crowds. Service is great and the restaurant is clean and modern. read more

This place was ok, i went with my mom and she said the fried calamari and tom yum soup was salty (she thinks almost everything is salty) i think the soup was sour but not spicy enough, the calamari was good and the sauce was a sriracha mayo which was ok, i thought if they used the thai sweet and spicy sauce it would have been better. I was kind of sad to not see panang curry, but the yellow curry was ok. The pad thai was really sweet compared to the normal fish saucy that i was used to. The mocktails were really good doe the khao sunrise was my favorite and my mom liked her dragon one. read more

Great flavors! The fried basil on the pad kee mao and eggplant was a great touch. The papaya salad, roti, and sausage wrap were also great. Love that they have outdoor seating and unique cocktails. Tom yum margarita was delicious! read more

We had lunch here with my family on Sunday at noon. It wasn't too busy, so we got a table right away. Chanaya was our server, and she was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. She recommended the steamed sea bass, and we enjoyed it so much. The fish was soft, and the spicy sweet sour sauce paired well with it. My parents especially like the pad thai here. The location is convenient and parking was easy to find. The menu has a good variety, and you can choose the protein you prefer for each dish. Good first time visiting and we would come back again soon. read more

Extremely sweet food paired with sub par service. Food was below average in taste and sweetened much more than typical Thai food. On top of this all they charged a default table fee of 20% with 3 adults and 2 kids. On asking for a manager, I was not given any contact. read more

This place opened up fairly recently and I finally got a chance to try it. The inside is nicely decorated, is very open, and welcoming. Our party of 3 was seated immediately on a Sunday night. We all ordered a rice bowl and it was DELICIOUS. Medium spice had the right amount of heat and complemented the strong flavors. I'll have to come back again for the cocktails! read more

Khao Thai Restaurant - Tofu basil rice bowl - Thai Near Me - Saratoga, California

It was easy to make a reservation for a Friday night a few days in advance. Though I don't think you need one. The complex is busy, so definitely arrive a little early to get a parking spot. The restaurant was clean and tables were well spread out. I had the chicken pad Thai. The taste was spot on, but I prefer a slightly thicker noodle. Service was friendly, but they seemed really busy. There was a bit of a lag in getting our dessert, but it wasn't a big deal since we weren't in a rush. read more

I've gone here about five times since they opened. Food is good but some items (I'm looking at the cabbage) are utter rip offs. Now that I know, I avoid paying $15 for about three thin slices of cabbage and I'm good. Other than some disappointments like that, the food is reasonably priced and tasty. read more

Wow this has officially been added to my list of top Thai restaurants in the bay!! What we ordered Pumpkin curry: 10/10 This had a really nice balance of creamy sweetness and savory flavors with hints of basil. The pumpkin was extremely soft and well simmered into the curry which made every bite comforting and rich without being too heavy. Chicken kra pao over rice: 10/10 This dish took me straight to flavor town. I can see why some people might say this is "salty" but to me the flavors are bold, prominent, and intentional. Everything tasted well seasoned and satisfying. Papaya salad: 9/10 This was tangy, clean, and refreshing. It was not as pungent or funky as some papaya salads which I also love but this version leaned more refreshing. It was the perfect dish to balance out the bolder flavors from the other dishes we ordered. The only thing I would note is spice level. I always order Thai spicy but felt like the spice level here was not as spicy compared to other "Thai spice" levels. I would recommend ordering extra chili on the side if you want that extra heat. This is officially my new go to Thai restaurant and I cannot wait to come back and try more dishes! read more

Very kind servers and attentive! Probably the first restaurant I've been to where I didn't need to ask for more napkins. They also pointed out the restroom for us upon being seated. The tom kha soup had a small kick to it and the shrimp was tender and cooked to perfection. Sticky rice and mango was just the right amount of sweetness (not too sweet). Pineapple fried rice was flavorful and not overly salty. Roti was a bit oily but the cucumber salad helped offset it. Definitely order a hot Jasmine tea on cold nights! Very inviting ambience. The decor was simple and not overly stimulating. They provide gender-neutral bathrooms. Would definitely come back and looking to try their cocktails! read more
