I've been eating Thai food since 1980 when a Thai, Chinese couple moved to the town where I was. I coined the term "melt your ears spicy" from my first experience. The lady asked how spicy and I said "The way you like it" and that was my first experience. That has never been duplicated. I happened to be that far north, coming from AllCare and stopped to try their food. First thing: I didn't see Prig King on the menu. That has been my go-dish since my first time eating Thai food. (I was told later just to ask for it. They have had enough requests.) I ordered the Panang Curry and the Thai Curry Puff Samosa appetizer, and a Thai iced coffee. The food was good. I needed chopsticks for the Curry Puffs because they were so hot. The Panang Curry had a portion of rice that would have been $3.99 anywhere else. Everything was reasonable and the food was good. The Thai iced coffee was different than expected but not bad. When I'm out that far for a walk, I'll try again. read more

When I order from here, I usually get the Singapore noodles because I love the thinness of them and the flavor that comes in the curry. Today I went with the Thai Vermicelli Bowl w/pork and a spring roll. I added soy sauce and sriracha as the dish itself doesn't come with over whelming flavor, but it's a nice go to when you want a cool dish that will fill you for the evening! The spring roll was also very good. I've yet to be in this location as I always order delivery. read more

I visited Mani Thai in April 2025 at 8:20 pm or so. I went with my niece and her grandmother. We didn't get much of a greeting when we walked in and sat ourselves at a table that would have comfortably sat 5-6 people. It wad dimly lit and had light music playing that wasn't too distracting. It was very quiet for a Friday night, might be a good option if you're looking for a non-crowded option. The only thing was that there seemed to be quite a few to go orders that were being picked up. Not a huge deal, just noticeable. Our order was promptly taken. I ordered the Pad Thai (spicy). Niece ordered the pot stickers. Her grandmother ordered the Yellow Curry with white rice. She also ordered a Thai iced tea. I tried the pot stickers and they were good but definitely had an aroma of vegetables. Might not be everyone's jam. My niece liked them and that's all that mattered. The Pad Thai tasted good but seemed really creamy compared to other places I've been. The flavor was good and level of spice was just right. If I had to change anything, I would say add just a touch more peanut flavor and throw 1-3 shrimp in the dish and it would balance it really nicely. At least an option would be nice! Overall, I'm going to give 4 stars. I wasn't too impressed with the service but the timelessness and food were good. After the meal, we were greeted by a lady who was very friendly and knew my niece and her grandma well. She gave a warm welcome and said I looked like my brother. read more

First time going inside the restaurant, cute cozy vibes inside. Service was very pleasant and fast. I asked the server what curry was her favorite so that I can try something new and she said the panang curry. Which is this red curry and I honestly can't praise this dish enough. It was perfect! I got medium heat with chicken and shrimp and the flavors were so amazing I was contemplating on getting seconds. Served with rice , it was the perfect combination ! I highly recommend this dish! 11/10! read more

Since we were looking for another new place to try we placed a DoorDash order for dinner on Friday. We ordered the pineapple fried rice, duck curry and 2 Thai iced tea with boba. My boyfriend's go-to order is always the pineapple fried rice at Thai restaurants. He thought the dish here didn't taste so good. He said the sauce tasted off and the chicken was hard. He said he tasted better elsewhere. As for the duck curry, I didn't like color of the duck meat, It was red. I don't think I ate red duck meat before. It almost didn't look like duck to me and usually if the color is red it's not cooked. I tried microwaving a piece and it still had the red color. The dish overall was good and not spicy. Overall food here seems ok. read more

I decided to try this place out via delivery service. My order was duck red curry, pad Thai, sticky mango rice and a Thai tea, which was delivered promptly without any issues. The problem was the food, particularly the duck curry. I noticed a weird smell right when I opened the lid (almost like it was off) but I tried it anyway hoping it was just the seasonings or something. I thought it was the strangest tasting curry I ever had. The duck was so chewy I spent about a minute chewing and chewing and finally spat it out and noticed all my chewing did absolutely nothing to the meat! It was still in one piece and then I noticed the taste it left behind. Definitely off and made me want to gag. I was happy I wasn't able to chew it and swallow it at this point. It left such a horrible feeling I couldn't even touch the rest of my meal. Ugh. Just thinking about it makes me feel sick. read more

So good!! I was a little nervous coming in, and seeing this place empty at 7 pm on a Saturday. The staff was super friendly and had menus down as we walked in. Fast service, great menu options, delicious food! I got the pad Thai, hubs got the beef noodles and kiddo got the chicken noodles. Of course, the Thai iced tea is a must! We will absolutely be back for more! read more

Thought it would've been wok seared noodles, ordered to go and I didn't even receive any sauce only a fork and a napkin. I wasn't attended upon arrival although staff was aware I arrived given that they have a bell at the door. So I literally called them while being in the store since I noticed the phone at the register, and before you know it they came to tend the phone right away. Flavor is alright, I'm not really feeling any of that Wok sear. Overall not bad and not the greatest my order total was $17.39. Even Panda Express puts more of a sear and it's a fast food chain‍ read more

We ordered family style and every dish was delicious. Especially reccomend the panang curry.

If I had to describe my first experience at Mani Thai Cuisine in Manteca in one word, it would be: WOW. If I had two words, they'd be: WOW and SPICY. Here's the scoop: Walking in, I was hit with the aroma of sizzling spices and basil so fresh it might have been grown out back by a Thai grandma. The ambiance? Think "Zen meets cozy meets 'I could live here.'" I half expected Buddha to come out of the kitchen with my Pad Thai. Now, the food. I started with the Pad Thai, which was so perfectly done, I suspect it did CrossFit before hitting the plate. Then came the Coconut Curry w/chicken, a dish so rich and flavorful it could probably run for office and win. The coconut curry chicken? Let's just say it had me questioning why I ever bothered with boring food before. Every bite was a flavor explosion--like a party in my mouth where everyone brought amazing gifts. Pro tip: If you don't handle spice well, proceed with caution (and maybe a fire extinguisher). The heat sneaks up on you like a Thai ninja--but hey, what's a good curry without a little thrill? The staff? Super friendly. They laughed at my pronunciation of "Pad See Ew" but didn't hold it against me. They even gave me extra lime wedges because they could tell I was trying (and failing) to look cultured. Bottom line: Mani Thai Cuisine is a total gem. If you're in Manteca and haven't eaten here, fix your life. Just remember to pace yourself on the chili oil unless you're looking for a religious experience. 5 out of 5 read more

Place is good. Flavor is good but what a rip off. Paid extra $ to add shrimp to a regular size curry and they gave me......2!!! 2 pieces of shrimp and you charged me extra?! $25 for pumpkin curry add shrimp. Laughable. But tasty. So if you don't mind spending the money, it's worth checking out I guess ‍ read more

Mani Thai Cuisine - Pad Thai, Panang Curry - Thai Near Me - Manteca, California

My work friends and I ordered around 6 or 7 entrees here. We ordered upgrades such as shrimp and beef. We ordered specific heat levels of spice. Not only did they completely mess up in terms of not having any spice flavor this time, they also did not include the beef and shrimp that was ordered in our specific entrées. Complained to Uber eats. They did nothing. I will be sure that we do not order from here the next time we need food at work. Granted yes, Uber eats did not give us credit back on the up charges like shrimp and beef, but it was the restaurant who made these mistakes in the first place. I contemplated between a 2 and a 3 here. But to mess up multiple peoples orders seems like you can't give them the benefit of the doubt and round up. read more

My son loves Thai food. So we don't really have much choice but to try different Thai restaurants. When we reached the restaurant, it was empty around 2pm. We ordered Thai fried rice, steam rice and ginger shrimp stir fry. I was happy to see fresh flowers on table. Our server was super sweet, greeted us and checked on us several times while we dined in. As we were almost done with our lunch, we noticed several more people came. It feels like most of them were regular customers coming in for late lunch. Pro- Plenty of parking. Cons - bathroom you need to go through the kitchen to use. Overall, great restaurant. Food was delicious. My picky 7 year old son approves. read more

Pretty good in terms of flavor & spice, my only complaint is the ratio of veggies/noodles to meat in every dish that I've had from here. I get *maybe* 5 small pieces of chicken in the drunken noodles which isn't comparable to other Thai places I've been to. read more

This little hole in the wall is a gem in Manteca! If in the area try this local business and you won't be disappointed. The ambiance is exactly what you would expect from a small Thai business. The service is impressive, the waitress is very attentive and helpful. I asked to try the salad dressing and she happily obliged. It was not what I wanted as I am accustomed to another Thai restaurant's sauce so I decided to go with the wonton soup. I'm so glad I did! It is delicious! I would give it a 8.5 out of 10 stars. The carrots tasted off, maybe frozen? But the cabbage, broth, and wontons were absolutely fresh and delicious! I only got 8 wontons in my soup, I would suggest one wonton for every dollar the soup costs, so I'm this case 10 as the minimum amount of wontons. The waitress asked if I wanted chili for my soup and I responded yes. She returned with a carousel of three or four different types of chili. I prefer the oil based chili so that was the one I used, it was spicy just like I like! Excellent! I was wanting to try the mango sticky rice but needed to head home so I got it to go. It was delicious... mangoes are not in season so they were not very juicy but still sweet. The sweet sticky rice was served with the coconut milk (yummy) and cooked to perfection then topped with sesame seeds. Absolutely delicious and I am positive would be a 10 out of 10 stars if mangoes were in season, but I still give it a nine out of 10 overall. This local gym is a solid 4 1/2 out of five stars only yelp doesn't let me give half stars so I'm giving it for. I highly recommend it to urge you to support this local business if you're ever in the area. read more

We ate here once and then ordered take-out quite a few times after that while in the area. Great food and friendly service. My favorite dish was their green curry. I tend to order the curry dish that doesn't have potatoes. Sometimes green, sometimes yellow. I couldn't get enough of that stuff. They also had good Thai iced tea and crispy egg rolls. Well worth the visit. read more

Manteca you deserve better than this. You commute 2 hours + a day and work hard for your money. Please understand that youre paying too much for this mediocre food. The flat noodle is never cooked correctly like other places that actually makes decent Thai food. This lady over the phone recommended I get the "lunch special " I should've asked the price over phone......When I showed up to pick up for the " lunch special " (For 2) she said $46! I was a bit surprised, as it didn't come with a drink. I figured this better be the best Thai food I've ever had. Well, coming from Sacramento and even Lodi area where there is good Thai for even cheaper price. This place will gouge you on price and you dont deserve to pay these prices for their basic bland food. The people that are giving this place 5 stars need to go out and explore real delicious Thai food. And Tracy isnt that far away. Pick up on the way home from your commute and avoid this place. I guess people give this place high rating because there's not much to choose from in Manteca? Not too sure. But quit giving this place $50 for small portions read more

I ordered Mongolian beef and they gave me onions and carrots with hardly no meat. Like 5 pieces. I paid $17, it was not worth it. It didn't taste like Mongolian beef, it tasted like sautee onions and carrots. Don't waste your money here. read more

My favorite Thai spot ever. Love this restaurant so much, I come to eat here almost every week!! eating in, the service is amazing the staff are so kind and make sure you have everything you need. They are so sweet and make good conversation! The restaurant itself, is so nice, cold and always clean, with nice low music playing. Ordering out is quick and easy, with short wait times and the food is always hot and fresh, and my drinks always cold:) The food is worth the price, as the plates are huge!! And the food is always so tasty, and fresh!! I've tried many Thai spots, but hands down this one is #1 !!! read more

Mani Thai is like a lot of places I like to visit, a small store front with a no frills approach and good food. I've had their yellow curry several times and it's one of my favorites. With chicken or just vegetables, it's flavorful and rich. Their papaya or mango salad have that fish sauce and sugar sweetness that's refreshing on a hot day (and we have a few of those out in Manteca). Service is friendly and they can help navigate you through the menu if this is your experience. The food has been toned down to mild for American tastes and I'm thankful for it (I've had it so hot that I nearly passed out, lol). read more

The food was delicious. One of the best I have tried in the valley. I bought food to-go and the food was still fresh. The Pad Thai was so good and the red curry was super savory. I will be going there again. The prices were fair for the quality and quantity of food. The restaurant itself is nice and clean. The staff were helpful and seemed nice. Can't wait to go back to try the yellow curry!!! read more

I can't speak on the ambiance because I ordered takeout. The food is so delicious! I got the pad Thai and Thai fried rice (both veggie) and they're so full of flavor. The portion size is huge, I'll definitely have leftovers. I will say that the spice level is pretty intense and I enjoy spicy, it doesn't drown out the flavor but I'd definitely get even less spice next time. I did medium and I feel like it's very spicy. There's lots of flavor in both dishes and it was hot when it arrived. I also have lots of extra veggies and peanuts in the pad Thai which is nice. I will absolutely order from here again! read more

What a pleasant surprise on our 1st time here. Pad Thai ($12) and Eggplant Pad with pork ($13). The Pad Thai was very moist and flavorful with crushed peanuts. The Eggplant Pad was delicious also. A strong and pleasant presence of Thai Basil along with other spices that topped our Brown Rice perfectly. Not pictured was an app of Crunchy Tofu with Sweet Thai Chili. Very nice. Great, friendly and fast service. The owner brought our Crunchy Tofu out herself and greeted us with a smile. We will return to explore their huge menu and will recommend this restaurant to family and friends. (Next to N. Main St. SaveMart) read more
