First time ordering take out on Christmas Eve. It was amazing. Food was flavorful and spicy (desired spice level). Staff were very pleasant and friendly. Interior was clean and well organized. Will definitely be going again and recommending to friends and family. read more

Found this place randomly on one of the delivery apps and I'm so glad I did!! I've passed this restaurant so many times and didn't know it. I ordered the Pad Thai with chicken for my mother and the Phad Krapow with minced chicken and a fried egg on top for myself and we shared an order of shrimp rolls. EVERYTHING was amazing! So amazing that we had it delivered TWICE in one week!! Great portion sizes. We both got 2-3 meals out of our dishes. We will definitely be ordering again but getting our own separate orders if the shrimp rolls because those are too good to share!! Highly recommend all 3 items! read more

The ambiance is nice and customer service was great . We came on a Sunday right before closing . The curry rotti was delish ! The Thai tea with real coconut milk caught me off guard but it was good . I thought it would be the carton ones but this tasted like it was from the actual can of coconut milk . The pad see ew was good and the meat was up to par I love how it was flavorful and not at all chewy ! The crispy rice salad however was so salty to me if you didn't add the lettuce to it . No matter how much lime I squeezed. read more

Prompt seating. Food took some time but picked up after the drinks came. Great food, with the exception of the Panang beef (a little too dry and chewy). read more

Excited to try this place a third time around but in person instead of takeout delivery. I went with a friend and my partner. This is my friends favorite Thai place in the Bay east choice! She even knows the owners as a patron and some waiters as she is a regular and was greeted by them by name which gave it the homey feel to me. The pineapple fried rice was a bit bland. You definitely need the spicy sauce that it comes with to drizzle on the rice dish to give it that flava. The Thai tea lemonade was amazing and a must try if you order. Super refreshing for the spring weather we will be experiencing soon. The Khao Sai Curry Noodle Soup dish and Shrimp Pad Thai were both super flavorful. Both dishes were rich and I used the curry soup base to actually give more flavor to my portion of the pineapple rice dish. We all shared everything. I will definitely be back to make the Thai tea lemonade, shrimp pad Thai, and Khao Sai Curry Noodle as my go to's and maybe try something new on the menu. read more

Phenomenal taste. Wonderful service. Couldn't be happier with the visit. Chef went way above and beyond for us.

Nice place for a nice lunch and late dinner. It was a day before a holiday or on the holiday and the place seemed very well taken care of, neat, and very clean. I was greeted with a smile and had the freedom to sit anymore. It looked like the place was for reservation but it was that nice and prompt that it just made you feel welcome. Very good on the aesthetics. I got the pad kee mao and it was on point with the flavours and the quality. The dish was made on point; the vegetables no overcooked and a perfect amount of crunch, flavour was there which blended the consistency and flavour very well together. My favourite part is the sauces. You are warned about which is spicy and what goes with what. I'm a big sucker for sauces and to have them as options right in the table was golden. AC Transit buses 20,21,51A, 78, and O pass by. Nearest BART would be Fruitvale station. read more

Quality/Quantity - We ordered the following: Know that you will pay extra for choice of meats; it says so on the back of the menu, but if you are not paying attention, it can be a surprise. Crispy Vegetable Rolls - Egg rolls, comes with 4 cut in half, so 8 halves. Taro Puffs - Very generous with the taro filling Coconut Lemongrass Soup + $2 Chicken- This was a hit, it came on fire. Not sure if we were supposed to wait until the fire went out??? Which it never did, so we just blew it out after it started boiling, so we could serve the dish without setting ourselves on fire. Pad See Ew + $3 Beef - Generous portions and my daughters favorite, so it was a hit; she almost did not share. Crab Fried Rice - Good, but nothing special. Seafood Eggplant - I think there was also fish in this dish, although it did not state fish on the menu. Good flavors, small portion; but then again it is a seafood dish. Spicy Green Beans + $2 chicken - This was VERY spicy, everyone just took one bite and I took the rest home. I will add it to another dish tomorrow to "dilute" it. Drinks: Thai Ice Teas - Good. Coconut Juice - Could have used more coconut meat. Singha Beer - When in a Thai restaurant... Atmosphere - Small local restaurant. New cool decor. Service - Slow, as if they were understaffed or just overwhelmed. They struggled with the in-house customers and take-out customers. We of course ate during peak dinner time which didn't help. It took 1 hours and 20 minutes to receive our first dish after we sat down. Price - $200 which includes the mandatory 18% tip for our party of 7. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since February of this year. Wishing you the best. read more

I was looking for dinner after running some errands and this place sounded familiar and when I walked in the door and was hit with the scent of an artificial candle, I recalled I had been here before. Aside from the appalling scent of a toxic candle ruining the aromatic smells of Thai food, and the obnoxiously loud music, this place is a winner. I've been here twice and the service was good/great, the portions were ample, and the food is above average. My only hope is that if they like the aesthetic of candles, they choose non-toxic and unscented in the future. The food will taste better and people with asthma might breathe a little easier. In response the the owner's reply: culture is great, not being able to hear myself think because music is so loud the restaurant is more like a club than a place to relax and enjoy a meal is not. read more

Thai and Vietnamese hit right when we're looking for a meal that is both fresh and comforting. We were excited to see a new Thai restaurant open and ordered delivery, everything was just as we'd hoped: fresh and comforting. Crispy Rice Salad: EHRMAHGAWSH I love this salad. I got the sausage on the side so hubs could enjoy. This one is heavier on ginger than Bahn Mae Vane, different but still delicious. Crispy Vegetable Rolls: Fresh, crunchy, awesome sauces (although if I had to choose I'd go for the Crispy Rice Salad over these Pad Thai with tofu: chewy and delicious. Next time I'd add extra veg because we like veggies Red Curry with tofu: solid red curry Side peanut sauce, nice portion size for $4. So yum. Everything was hot when it arrived and packed with care. Looking forward to taro and chicken curry puffs. Thank you so much for a delicious meal! read more

Yum, enjoyed everything we had! My friend and I came by on a Sunday night for dinner. We shared: The spicy heavenly wings--not very spicy, enjoyed the crispy basil leaves on top and the sweet glaze! Would order again. Tom yum soup (with tofu)--this hit the spot if you like Tom yum flavor. It's got a little bit of sweetness to it, which I liked. Cool presentation with the flame in the middle, but it burnt out pretty quickly and soup got a little cold since we were busy talking--definitely drink this up while it's still hot! I'd definitely get this again. Crispy rice salad--never had this sort of salad before! I liked it, and it was very refreshing. The crispy rice reminded me of fried chicken crust. It's got fermented pork in it, but I didn't really taste it. Should be eaten quickly otherwise the crispy rice gets soggy! I liked it but I think I might go for another salad next time! read more

The lemongrass chicken soup was incredible, I will definitely be returning for that. Bursting with flavor. Also some of the the best Chicken Satay I've ever had, with thick, juicy chicken and delicious peanut sauce. I've also tried the Panang Seafood dish, which was decent. Haven't given the noodles a fair shot yet. Good water. read more

Locally owned and operated. Opened for a little over two weeks in a location that has seen numerous Thai and other restaurants appear and disappear. The ambiance is brighter than its predecessor which is welcome in these darker pandemic times. Masked entry exit and going to from the restrooms. Staff all masked. Dined on: - Mushrooms Dumplings (restaurant made dumpling that is pan fried with lots of mushroom filling $12) - Pad Thai with Chicken (good size for the money $13, tasty dish that we would get again, even better the next day( - Grilled Lamb Chops, six chops grilled medium rare accompanied by a medium spiced chili mint dipping sauce (I love lamb and it was perfectly grilled - $30, although other pics had 7 ribs - where's our extra rib from a rack?) - Green Curry with Pork & Fried Tofu (very good flavor, lots of Tofu and Eggplant, even better the next day $14) - Mango with Black Sticky Rice (lots of mango but pricey at $9.50) Excellent service, casual ambiance, and a bit pricey and still wondering about rib #7.... read more

I saw May Thai Kitchen as I was looking up new restaurants on Yelp and I knew Hubby and I just had to go and try it! We both love Thai food and since there was a new restaurant opened, we were more than excited to go and try. It was getting late and we decided to order to-go after running some errands. We got the pad thai, pad see ew, pineapple fried rice, and the Thai street food style pad krapow with a butterfly lemon tea. The food was ready really quick. The restaurant was quiet and the staff were all super friendly! When I called to place the order, I forgot to tell her what kind of meat I wanted with the pad krapow so she called back a few minutes after we hung up and asked me. I love how the restaurant looks and will be coming back to eat in person. The food was amazing! Everything was tasty and well seasoned. Nothing was too salty or bland, it was just perfect! The butterfly lemon tea was interesting. Maybe something I wouldn't get again, but that's just me. We will definitely be coming back and going to try their Thai Tea next time. Thank you for showing us a great time here, even if it was just a to-go order! read more

I came by earlier today for the first time and the food was great!! My husband was craving mango sticky rice and I wanted a fried banana with ice cream. I found a place with both! We had dinner at home and were planning on just having dessert. But as soon as we saw the food we couldn't help it!! We ordered the Khao soy, pad thai, mango sticky rice and fried banana. The mango sticky rice is huge! Everything was great!! I think I found my new regular Thai restaurant! read more

May Thai Kitchen - Dessert: mango sticky rice - Thai Near Me - Alameda, California

We were lured in by the super high Yelp rating. While I agree with others that the Pad See Ew was tasty and definitely worth ordering, we felt that the fried calamari was tough and chewy (no tentacles) , with a too sweet sauce and the mushroom dumplings were just ok, and a little strange with the addition of canned corn... We did like the sauce that they served with the dumplings, which had fresh ginger and green onions. Overall, I would say that they should have something like a 3.8-4 star rating... read more

I've been searching for a good salad! I tried May Thai's Mango salad ! And I was impressed! They have a lot of different varieties of food like crab fried rice, curry , rolls and Katsu.

FANTASTIC. Food was delicious. Recommend the lemongrass soup. Also service was wonderful.. which I can't say for most places nowadays. Our waitress was very friendly and went above and beyond. Like genuinely friendly which is so refreshing since usually I feel like at other restaurants the staff barely Acknowledges you. They have vegan/vegetarian options which is a huge plus!! And they can do large parties - there was a cute birthday celebration when we arrived. You can tell the people who run this place do it with love and hard work and it shows. Such a gem, will definitely return. Thank you so much read more

I've always had great experiences here until today. I ordered Pad See Ew and calamari for takeout, but unfortunately, the food was extremely salty--almost like eating pure salt. This has never happened before. The vegetables weren't cut into bite-sized pieces, but that's a minor issue. The Pad See Ew was unusually wet and overly salty, making it hard to eat. I couldn't finish it and was really disappointed this time read more

We've gotten both takeout and delivery from May Thai Kitchen. The first time we were wowed by the food and were excited that they had different items like Corn and Cheese Puffs and Mushroom Dumplings on the menu (yeah I love appetizers!). Then they had our usuals like Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, Pad Krakow, etc. All were traditional and not overly salty, sweet, or oily. Then another time we ordered and it was noticeable that the quality and quantity went down...one of the dishes was prepared spicy when we noted mild and that was way too freaking hot. Still undeterred and hopeful they just had an off day, we ordered again, but the food wasn't the same and the ingredients didn't taste fresh (meat was dry and over cooked) and we didn't touch the leftovers. I really wanted to make this a go-to for us, but after trying them 3x and being disappointed more than once, I'm hesitant to order from here again. Hopefully others will have a much better experience! read more
