Cute quaint restaurant- make sure you make reservations if you can. It is always busy when we visit. Our normal go-to dishes are always prepared to our liking. Beef Penang Curry, Spicy Basil Fried Rice. Depending on who we are dining with, we might do pod Thai but this time we did the Pad See Ew. Our cousin ordered the teriyaki and the chicken satay.. and we shared the crab golden bag, and the mango sticky rice. The owners have always been so nice and accommodating when we come in. See you when we return to Pacific Grove. read more

Service was good but the food was mediocre. We ordered pad see wu and spicy chicken thai basil. I had had pad see wi from a number of different Thai restaurants but this was not pad see wu. Their dish did not even used proper flat noodle and loaded with sugar. So so sweet. And had zero chinese broccoli pad see wu typically is cooked. Spicy thai chicken. Dish was the same, sugary. I asked for spicy sauce. read more

We went here this morning for lunch and it was so good! We were in the area visiting and really wanted Thai food. We got a Thai tea, green curry with chicken, drunken noodles with chicken, and mango sticky rice. It's super good and portion size is great we took home leftovers and the price is fair for everything we paid $67 for two people. Parking was easy down the street for free and the ladies were SO nice and I love the incense and authenticity of the place, cute decor etc. def will come here again next time we visit the area. read more

Food is good overall but I've had better. Definitely hits the spot though. Soups are excellent. The pad Thai was okay, just didn't have as many ingredients as I've seen in other restaurants. Friendly staff. Cute interior of restaurant with some outside seating too. read more

I ordered takeout from Pacific Thai Cuisine, the pickup process was quick and the staff were friendly. Pad see ew with tofu: I wish the cabbage, broccoli, and carrots were more seasoned. It was rather mild in flavor but I can still taste the soy sauce. It contains eggs. Salmon spring rolls: I also found it rather plain and I wish it was more flavorful. It came with sweet and sour sauce and peanut sauce. Mango sticky rice: The rice and sauce are very sweet, it was fine. They gave us a soup as well, which tasted like a sweet curry (I am sorry I am not more knowledgeable about Thai food to identify this specifically). Overall the food was decent, but I would not consider it one of the more memorable Thai restaurants I've been to and I wish the flavors would've been stronger. read more

Came here for a light meal while in Monterey! Super cozy restaurant and friendly staff. I had the chicken satay and papaya salad, really enjoyed the peanut sauce that came with the satay and appreciated that we could customize the papaya salad to make it spicy. The portion size for the salad was very satisfying. read more

The service was fantastic and the server was great. The ambiance is nice and cozy. The tofu Pad Thai was tasty but sweeter than I would have preferred. It could benefit from a savory flavor like peanuts or another umami flavor. The noodles themself had a really great texture and a good amount of sauce. read more

Had the red curry plate. Solid enough but a touch salty maybe. Good enough for locals to patronize.

I have never had thai food. My friend recommended I try the Drunken Noodle. It was delicious. Very flavorful. Big portion for one person. Not complaining. The service was great. It was very nice inside. and we were placed near the window very quiet, clean, a pleasant time while eating. read more

We walked to Pacific Thai last night and it was honestly some of the best Thai food I've ever had. I'm a huge Thai food person and used to order it weekly when I lived in LA, and this absolutely held up to the best of it. The restaurant itself is adorable and in such a great spot on the street. We sat outside with our dog, and the staff never forgot about us--they were attentive, kind, and checked on us often. The food came out super fast and every dish was absolutely delicious. Between the friendly service, the charming atmosphere, and the incredible food, we had the best time here. We will most definitely be back! read more

This is a cute local Thai place in Pacific Grove. The place is cozy and cute and the service was fast. We ordered drunken noodles and a spicy type vegetable with chicken. The food is decent. The drunken noodle is in as authentic as other Thai places the flavor was a little light Overall it's OK if you want a quick Asian fix. The portion sizes are pretty generous. read more

What's happened to this place? It was once so good prior to the scandalous Covid years, but went back yesterday and the service just sucked. I mean like sucked. Every time I asked for something, the answer was, "Naw, we can't do that" or "No, sorry, that's too hard to do." These were simple requests my 3-year old can manage. No thanks, this place once was great, but after yesterday, I'm never going back to mediocre over priced lousy food and service. read more

I'm a local to Pacific Grove and overlooked this restaurant until now. I never believed that Monterey county in general had great Asian food. However we were looking for a local place for dinner and drove by, then decided to give it a shot. From the moment we walked in, the decor inside the restaurant immediately caught my eye and established a very cozy ambiance. Everything was beautiful and they have a wine cellar as well with a good selection on their wine menu. The hostesses and waitresses were the kindest and sweetest young ladies ever! All smiles and nothing by friendliness exuberated from them as soon as we walked in. We ordered the Panang Curry and the Pineapple Salmon Curry with sides of white and brown rice. We were there early for dinner so were the only table, the food came out very quickly which was great. Presentation was impressive and just created a overall nice dinner in a beautiful restaurant. The curries were hot and fresh, everything tasted good and there really was no complaints. I will definitely be back! read more

Pretty good Thai spot with large servings. I made reservations for 7 people at 7pm on a Tuesday; I called just a few hours in advance. They were pretty busy and we probably would have had to wait had I not called ahead. Food came out pretty quickly and everyone generally enjoyed what we got: Pineapple fried rice - a tad dry Pad thai with shrimp - a little on the sour side Tom yum soup Drunken noodle read more

This is one of my favorite Thai restaurants of all time. The food is so fresh and super flavorful. My go to is the drunken noodles and my wife loves the fried rice. The appetizers are all delicious. The service is great and the staff exceptional. I love the cozy feel of the restaurant and on a nice sunny day eating outside is fun. Highly recommend! read more

We happened park for a business close by and were hungry so decided to try this place on a whim. We were the first table seated shortly after 5pm on a Monday. We started off with a green tea, which came in a pot to share. My guy ordered the pad thai with beef and I had the red curry mixed vegetables with tofu. The food came out quickly and we were both very happy with what we ordered. Finding a good pad thai has been an issue for us, but would order this again especially with the beef. The place is quiet with soft music, service was perfect and food delicious. We will definitely come back if we're in the area! read more

We ordered takeout here while visiting. Ordered around 530 and it only took 15 min. Got chicken pad Thai and chicken satay. Pad Thai portion was huge. That was a bonus. But the food was bland. The only thing we truly did enjoy was the peanut sauce for the chicken satay. Stars for fast takeout service and portion sizes. read more

Good vegetarian food, Quick service!! No spices in pad Thai as requested for kids. My 2yo wanted orange when she saw orange slices on someone's dish. They cut a whole orange for her and gave it to her. Thanks!! read more

We had such a great experience at Pacific Thai Cuisine in Pacific Grove! We ordered the Crispy Duck, Chicken Teriyaki, and Tom Yum Soup, and every dish was spot on. The duck was perfectly crispy and flavorful without being greasy, the chicken teriyaki was super tender and came with a delicious sauce, and the Tom Yum had just the right balance of spice and citrusy tang--so comforting and bold. On top of the great food, the service was fantastic--everyone was friendly, welcoming, and made sure we were taken care of. You can really tell they care about the food and their guests. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to when we're in the area! read more

Very good food and service. Generous portions. I will return and will recommend to friends and family!

If you're looking for some Thai food, this is the place to go! We demolished our food before we could even take our photos! LOL! However, we got Thai Lettuce wraps for appetizers and Chicken Pad Thai as our main alongside Chicken Satay. The service was so nice! We were able to get a table for two as a walk in on a Saturday night! Ambiance was perfect. Felt very homey! Not too loud depending on other customers around you. Perfect place if you're visiting and want some comfort food! I would definitely come here again! read more

Really yummy!!! Loved the drunken noodles the most. The flavor was good and a big portion. Sticky ribs were yummy when we took off the sauce. We could tell it was stewing in a yummy broth/sauce only for them to add American style BBQ sauce on it which was too tangy and threw it off. They are probably just catering to the demographic around PG. Very warm and cozy ambiance inside which was much needed as we were escaping the power outages. Service was tentative we will certainly be back! read more

This place is pretty good - I think I'm bumping it up a star because the service was great. This is a cute place on Lighthouse Avenue in Pacific Grove and they have a lot of indoor and outdoor dining. We ordered the pad thai, green papaya salad, and veggie spring rolls. The pad thai was pretty good though they used what looked like spaghetti noodles and not the wider ones. It didn't have the same kind of flavor that I'm used to but was good, and probably if I hadn't had an expectation but just thought it was noodles with veggies, I would have enjoyed it more. The green papaya salad was good and very fresh. I thought it was interesting they didn't ask about spice level - not sure if you could ask to have it spicier. The service was great as I mentioned - they were very helpful and they got the food out quickly and checked back to make sure everything was fine. read more

Parking in 2 hr space on street. Food ordered was very good. Seafood pad Thai was excellent, noodles al dente, seafood included shrimps, scallops, giant squid cubes, and mussels with bean sprouts, lime wedges and shredded cabbage as garnish. Penang curry taste was average, maybe needed more curry. Service was very good, drinks, extra napkins arrived shortly. Ambiance was nice and cosy, smaller cafe. Overall, 4 stars out of 5. read more

Was looking for a quick spot to grab takeout and found Pacific Thai on Yelp. We were able to order over the phone for a speedy pick up! We got the pad see ew with beef and the salmon curry. I had never had salmon curry before, so I was intrigued. It was really good, but the salmon was a little over done. The curry itself had great flavor and even a little kick! The noodles in the pad see ew were tasty, but the beef was a little on the chewy side. I think overall the pad see ew dish could have used a little more flavor and I'm used to having a little more broccoli. It was very carrot heavy. Food was packaged well for take out but we didn't receive any sort of condiments with our order so be sure to ask if you need something. Overall, I would recommend this place for an easy takeout meal if you are visiting in the area, but I wouldn't say this is the best Thai food I've ever had. Flavors weren't all there for me and the proteins were a little overdone. read more

Broad menu selection. Pad Thai was great, pineapple curry was even better. Staff was very friendly.

Service was great, super cute decor and warm atmosphere. Pad Thai was worst I've had and definitely needs some help; super watery and bland. Yellow curry was legit. Pineapple fried rice was average. Had high hopes but the food quality just wasn't there so unfortunately might not return after. Really though, fix that pad Thai recipe ASAP! read more
