    Massaman Curry
    Bindu A.

    Such a lovely place! We came here after our beach evening in the Capitola beach. The view from this restaurant is just so amazing We ordered Roti Kanai, Tom Yum soup, Masamman curry with tofu with a side of brown rice. And the yummy sticky rice with mango. We enjoyed all the dishes, although massamman curry was a bit on the sweeter side. Soup was just perfect! Overall amazing meal on a beautiful day!

    Gorgeous wall. Local Thai artist.

    New owner, beautiful food, amazing service, lovely atmosphere and interior and gorgeous views from our table at the window plus the happy Erica and her team made our Friday evening in Capitola memorable and loads of fun. The food - every single item was prepared from scratch. Erica told us when we popped our heads in at 7:50 pm to kindly be there by 8:10 or so to truly enjoy the sit down meal. The Thai iced coffee served in a big glass was fresh and perfect- not too sweet. The veg pot stickers were delicious. So hot on the inside and with fantastic seasoning on the vegetables inside plus the dipping sauce with the hint of fresh tamarind- wow! The tofu veg yellow curry was smooth. The Pad See Ew had that fantastic and addicting smoky and charred flavor. The coconut rice( does not come w the entree) was delectable and the brown rice just so good. The rice was prepared fresh after our order. A great ensemble. The views from our window table- outstanding! The service - the best. Erica really spoiled us with so much love and care. Loved her interaction and laughs with the happy lady chef who came out around 8:50 pm as we were finishing up. It came to $42 per person plus tip which was a great price for a meal and experience of this standard.

    Amazing ambiance and really good food. The pad Thai was great. Peanut sauce was perfect. Fresh rolls were a little small but serving sizes for everything else was plentiful.

    Lunch with a view

    Solid thai food, weekday lunch specials are great value. There were 2 tables next to the windows with a good view of the famous colorful Venetian houses.

    Delicious Thai food with ocean views! Me and my friends ran into this lovely place and thank goodness we did! It has delicious crispy chicken pad thai!!! My first having it with crispy chicken and will be coming back for it. The yellow curry was delicious as well as the mango salad. For dessert the mango sticky rice is a must with black rice Service was top tier, she checked on us frequently and I could tell she enjoys talking with guests about the different foods on the menu. Thank you for such a lovely place.

    Taro Milk Tea with popping boba
    Brian H.

    Let's say yes. The boba - let's say yes to the entire menu - this is a cute place right in the heart of down town Capitola. The staff is very very nice and very helpful. She explained the menu well . Start at the top And work your way down. Mmmm. You will be happy you did. Go on in. Make yourself at home . They will treat you well. I like the tables and the benches . The wood is really nice and surprisingly comfortable . Let them know Brian sent you with a smile. Just sayin. Give them some sunshine . This place is worth the visit . Mmmm .

    Crispy Chicken
    SharonLee A.

    Since neighboring restaurant Shadowbrook was completely full ( no shocker here since it was Christmas Day ) we decided to take our chances finding somewhere to dine at Capitola Beach. And again no surprise here-the majority of the restaurants were closed except for My Thai Beach. We arrived early enough to get seated as the place continuously had guests coming in. The food was very yummy. We ordered chicken rolls, calamari, crispy chicken, both regular pad Thai and duck pad Thai, Tom kha soup, sesame balls, and a variety of boba drinks. Nothing disappointed. It was so cute getting festive Christmas fortune cookies too! I would highly recommend this place if you're in the area.

    Duck curry

    Cannot visit Capitola without stopping in at My Thai Beach restaurant next to the water at Capitola Beach. Front row view of the ocean, the colorful Italian-like villas and the pier. Food here is authentic Thai. Everything is scrumdelicious. Highly recommend their duck curry, spring rolls, and mango sticky rice. I love that I can request no fish or oyster sauce in the dish and it's still flavorful. Feels more like having a meal at a relatives house than a restaurant because everyone is so welcoming.

    I am seriously impressed by the cuisine at My Thai Beach on the Capitola Beach. We ate there two nights in a row, and I'm delighted to say the food was consistently good both nights. The food was bright, prepared with care, fresh, flavorful and well-balanced. This was no gloppy, sloppy imitation of Thai flavors. It is mindfully prepared, honoring the fresh ingredients. There are several duck dishes on the menu and I went full duck each night. The duck larb was slices of roasted duck dressed with a delicious, balanced dressing of lime juice, fish sauce, roasted rice powder and aromatics, and served with vibrant fresh slices of red onion and sweet seasonal tomatoes. The duck noodle soup was equally carefully constructed. A delicious clear broth, slices of that succulent duck, brilliant green baby spinach leaves, green onion, and fine wheat noodles. This is new ownership only a few months old, so ignore earlier reviews of a different team. The place itself is kind of funky and it's right on the beach. There are 2 tables that look out on the charming Capitola beach. The staff are friendly and helpful. I'll be back to try more of the menu.

    Veggies and tofu
    Kevin K.

    Capitola's beach front community features eateries aplenty. Precious few feature healthy faire. That's why we strolled into MTB. A Thai meal never fails to make you feel great all day long. MTB did not disappoint us! The welcome was warm and the smiles were bright. The authentic food was delicious, featuring fresh veggies and a fantastic brown rice. The tofu was slightly sweetened and melted in our mouths. You can look out at the beachgoers relishing the sandy scenes at the waterline window. How to look great in that beachwear and feel energized from sunrise to sunset? Eat at My Thai Beach in Capitola! =)

    Amazing food here at My Thai Beach! Excellent food and excellent service. I'm on a mission to try everything on their very extensive menu. Everything so far has been stellar. I've had the Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles, Panang curry, Calamari, Crab Rangoon, Milk Tea and more! If you get a chance to try the food, do so! It came out hot, fresh, and just as spicy as I wanted it!

    Mango sticky rice with coconut ice cream
    Alex W.

    Under new management - they are wonderful!!!! We had the pad see ew with chicken and crunchy chicken pad thai and they were so good!! We can't wait to go back. The couple who took over the business is also SO nice and they are clearly very good at what they do. Super friendly, too. We are so happy to have them in the neighborhood and we highly recommend this spot!!

    Crispy Chicken Pad Thai, Roti, Mango Salad, Yellow Curry

    The service is amazing here. Our server was sooo sweet and welcoming. We got the pad Thai with crispy chicken, the black mango sticky rice with coconut ice cream, mango salad, roti, yellow curry and some Thai tea drinks. EVERYTHING tasted SOOO good!! Definitely coming back here. The restaurant has some seats by a window that gives u a beach view.

My husband and I opted to have Thai food for dinner after arriving in Santa Cruz and dropping off our stuff at the hotel. Having been to Star of Siam many times when I was in college, I suggested we go there. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the interior had been renovated to be more open and modern, but still maintaining the same homey and charming feeling of a locally owned spot. We ordered red curry and drunken noodles with roti and rice on the side. The service was wonderful, with our orders arriving steaming hot out of the kitchen and smelling incredible! I'm happy to report that everything tasted as good as it looked and smelled. We were absolutely stuffed by the end of the meal, but it was so delicious that we just didn't want to stop eating. I'll always recommend Star of Siam to anyone in the Santa Cruz area! It's great for either dining in or ordering to go.

    This little family-owned and operated restaurant has some of the best Thai food I've ever had (and…read moreI've had a decent amount)! I've been here a couple of times and have always sat in their outside patio because of my dog. The servers (who I believe are the owner's children) are very kind and hardworking. They check on us often throughout our meal and even offer to bring a bowl of water for my dog. One of the times I've been here was with a large group (about 8-10 people) and although I'm sure we overwhelmed the restaurant with our large party size, they were incredibly accommodating! I've been able to try several different dishes, and they've were all absolutely delicious! They offer all the classic dishes (pad Thai, pad see ew, yellow/green/red curries, fried rice) and even some not as well-known dishes that are definitely worth trying (curry noodle aka khao soi, spicy noodles aka pad kee mao/drunken noodles, mussaman curry). All the food is bursting with flavor, reasonably priced, of good quality, and cooked perfectly. They have signage outside addressing complaints over long wait times which is sad to see because 1) I've never had to wait an unreasonable amount of time for my food even when I went with a large group, 2) they very obviously have a small kitchen and only one chef, and 3) everything is fresh and made to order. I'd be more hesitant and skeptical if my food came out within a few minutes. If you're ever in Capitola/Capitola Beach or even in the Santa Cruz area, this place is worth it!

Upon entering, an employee named Jason motioned for us to walk over, handed us an open iPad, and walked away without any explanation. As first-time visitors from out of town, we were unfamiliar with their ordering system. When I asked for assistance finding a specific dish listed on their website, he rudely told us they did not offer it. He then made a comment in Mandarin or Cantonese to a colleague, and both men looked at us. At that point, I returned the iPad and let him know we would not be ordering. As a mixed-race couple, with my husband being permanently disabled, we were left wondering if this unwelcoming behavior was motivated by discrimination or if it reflects the restaurant's typical customer service. Regardless, the interaction was extremely uncomfortable and disrespectful. Fortunately, we went to Yan Flower nearby instead, where we received kind, welcoming, and excellent service. Yes, the food was good too! Sometimes food isn't the most important thing you receive from a restaurant, don't get me wrong it is a strong motivator, but for me, service is everything.
