Horrible...horrible...horrible...the worst thai place i've ever been to. don't know how it got 4 stars...maybe because there aren't too many thai food connoisseurs...? i ordered the fish cakes, yellow curry, and pad thai and everything was really bland and tasted cheap...the prices didn't really match the quality that we got. I don't recommend this place... If you want good Thai food, go to Marnee Thai in SF or Thai Patio in Hollywood. read more

This is the place to go for good and fast Thai food. I would Highly recommend getting the jasmine rice and the veggie delight. Quick warm food was just what I needed and for a good price too. Very nice servers. If your in the area try it out and show them some love read more

Just tried to make a phone order, asked if they delivered out of curiosity then I was hung up on. Been here a few times before and when I've gone there, yes old guy is very grumpy. I tipped him for a Togo order and watched another server pocket the tip. Staff here and rude and questionable. Ambiance is old, dusty and sickly. Never coming back. read more

We just went here for dinner. We really enjoyed our food and the waiter! Everyone on here was complaining about the waiter, he was a riot! Ask him what to order and he will be your best friend. read more

This is one ofthe few good restaurants in Pacifica. We come here all the time and it's always a happy experience. Tom and Joy are wonderful and the food is tasty! We like the param and the salmon ginger fried rice! Enjoy :) p.s. the "grumpy old man" just looks that way, he's actually really funny! read more

After living in Pacifica for 10 years I decided to stop at this Thai restaurant to try out some of their fried rice, as I was curious to see how good it would be. I asked the older gentleman if he had any suggestions or recommendations for fried rice. He immediately raised his voice and told me to hurry up and choose one of the ones on the menu with no recommendation and a horrible attitude. I end up buying the fried rice because I was craving for it, however it wasn't that great and I receive the worst customer service in any restaurant here Pacifica. I do not recommend this place, it's dirty inside and rude workers in this location. read more

The food is tasty but the service is very strange. I wouldnt knock it because of that as the food was good.

DELICIOUS!! I love when you can walk into the restaurant and ask the owner what's for dinner tonight and he gives you a list of things he's going to bring out for you to enjoy for dinner. It feels like you're at home. The food always good and the atmosphere is amazing. read more

Delicious food! Quickly prepared, and like my husband said..for the price, I don't believe we've had Thai food this good. Like all the other reviewers mentioned, don't let the older gentleman that waits on you throw you off, he's just not very smiley.lol We would go back! read more

Outstanding chicken pad thai for the money. It's a perfect spot for takeout or a quick bite. Will definitely be back soon.

I love the food, reminds me of my mom's cooking. It's like having a personal chef, after a long day of work, plus the price is affordable. The owner lady is very sweet, the guy is quite but he is nice too. read more

I thought Pacifica Thai Cuisine was good. There is the drink. There is the soup. There is the rice dish.

Thai cuisine offers so many delicious vegetarian options, but unfortunately we were not very impressed with the offerings here. We ordered spring rolls, red curry with tofu, veggie pad thai, and pad se ew, and aside from the fried spring rolls (hard to screw that up), all of it was pad se ewwww. The curry was watery and flavorless, which is hard to pull off given all the spices typically used in red curry. Both noodle dishes tasted like bland, oily spaghetti noodles with a few veggies thrown in. We gave up halfway through and gave the rest to the dogs. Oh well, the quest for more veg-friendly takeout options in the peninsula continues, and fortunately the city with all of its delicious food is just a short drive away. read more

Service is horrible, old man just ignores my questions, I don't understand why je works weiter, I think he hates people..

Their food is fabulous! Try their crab fried rice, made with real crab. Everything that I have tried was full of flavor. I took off one star because sometimes the food is on the salty side. They also have a parking lot adjacent to the restaurant, which is a big plus. read more

Not too good. The boyfriend and I first went to this restaurant because of a buy one get one free dinner coupon from an entertainment coupon we had. We tried the place out after I first moved to Pacifica, had upset stomachs the day afterwards, vowed to never eat at this place again, then went back after I received another coupon and forgot about the whole stomach ache debacle. Wouldn't you know it, we got queasy again after dining again at this establishment. Service is mediocre, food is mediocre (I suppose as ethnic as Pacifica gets), price is mediocre. Save yourself the trip.. the only appeal to this place are the funny misspelled menu items posted all around the restaurant. read more

Avoid the Green Curry. It was thin and soupy. Everything else was fine.

had a concert to go to tonight and wanted a place close to the venue (cafe du nord) and cheap but delicious. Groupon conveniently had a place close but also supposedly delicious. There I am speeding like a maniac because it's 6:30 and the venue opens at 7 and I usually get there at 7. Food was served by 6:50, we ate and finished at 7:30 made it right to the venue on time and got front row spots. Awesome. But what's more awesome? The burgers that got us into a daze. We've been to custom burger places such as The Counter read more

We were regulars here when we lived in Daly City. Moderately priced, with great food and friendly service. Our favorites included a shrimp and eggplant dish with peanut sauce and one of their seafood soups. read more

Only in town for one night, PTC was next to hotel and easy to walk to. Good Thai food for small town. Great selection of dishes, about 2x's the amount of my hometown fav. Waiter's broken english made it difficult to ask about dishes, but good Pad Thai, and good coconut ice cream. Good experience, Nicely priced also, it is alway nice to not get overcharged at a restaurant when traveling. Would go back if in town. read more

Tom kha kai is the best soup around. Spicy and full of chicken and mushrooms. When I was in the hospital my husband brought it to me every other day. We have gone here for close to 25 years and will keep going back. The best meal we had overall was a New Year's Eve with friends. We asked the elderly man to choose for us. Wow. What a meal. All he asked was how spicy we liked our food and were there any vegetables we didn't like. It was fabulous. Thanks for place to go and know we'll get good food always. read more

Went here with my gf's a few months ago round lunch time and the service was terrible. We had to walk up to or waiter to get his attention. Yeah that bad. The food was mediocre and the decora was confused. Are they a thia food place or American diner? No consistency with what they were doing. Never again. read more

Go with a sense of humor, meet a great local business owner (don't let his act fool you), and enjoy real Thai hospitality. This has become a Pacifica landmark, just as it is, not fancy, not even the best Thai food I've had, but I had such a nice dinner there with my family last week, just like old times. read more

During a long day of hiking with my wife and a friend we needed some fuel to replenish ourselves (and chairs to get off our sore feet). We had our eyes on a Mexican joint a couple of blocks down the street but it turned out to be closed (despite a "Business Hours: 11am-7pm" sign that didn't mention any days of the week). Well, whatever. So we circled back to Pacifica Thai, stood outside near the front door looking at the menu, had a few chuckles over some of the poor translations, and decided to try it. We were the only ones in the place around 4pm on a Sunday. Our food orders came quickly once we knew what we wanted. I ordered salmon fried rice which was delicious. It came with a spicy gingery peanut sauce. My wife ordered pad-see-ew and found it too sweet. Her friend ordered vegetarian pad thai and didn't have much to say about it, so I'm assuming it passed her test (but wasn't spectacular either, since she kept talking about King of Thai restaurant in San Francisco). The waiter (was he also the chef and owner?) didn't say much but he did refill my water glass twice, which is a good thing. He also brought some fish sauce to my wife when she asked for it to neutralize the over-sweetness of her pad-see-ew. So, decent service (but as I mentioned, we were the only ones there). We probably won't come back, but it's not bad. read more

Did the Groupon thing, with 4 people, loved the food, Pad Thai was great!! Grumpy old guy isn't really grumpy, actually pretty funny old guy...Went back next day for more Pad Thai and other menu choices...Overall, my party of 4 loved the place, service is fast and accurate, food is really good. read more

Love this place. It's a little cluttered, but the service and the food are great. My only complaint would be that they use really cheap plastic take out boxes that split very easily and dump food all over your lap!! Delicious but painful. read more

The food at this place was okay. I would definitely go back if I was craving Thai food and don't want to drive to Marnee Thai.

chicken coconut soup was pretty good. mute, grumpy, mean waiter. I wont be back. enjoy the $1 tip! dont spend it all in one place! ps- spell check the menu; and at least smile and nod after someone says "thank you", at least five different times read more

i went here today to use my groupon deal $25.00 for purchase of food worth of $55.00. the food is great but the service is dissapointing. at first the old guy said that my groupon deal is for dine only but i bought this dec 2012 and it was written that i can use it for dine-in or carry out. i argued and ended up able to use this. not coming back here again. next time i would just go to thai stick in millbrae or thai bbq in ssf. read more

Once again , I love the food at this place and eat there a lot. I went tonight and got an order to go and arrived at home to find one of my orders was incorrect. I didn't think about taking the order back; I was just going to get rid of it. I decided to go back and tell them that I got the wrong order and would like the item that I did order since I knew them. They gave me the order AND CHARGED ME! I asked them why they wanted to charge me and they said that it was because I didn't bring back the item. Am I really going to go back and complain to a place I go to a lot and try and cheat them out of a $9.00 item? I then went home and got the wrong item, returned it to them and will never go back! THEY MADE THE MISTAKE IN MY ORIGINAL ORDER AND I HAVE TO PROVE IT! Goodbye... read more

Truly good restaurants are slim pickens in this town. This is definitely two out of the top three good Eats in Pacifica that remain in heavy rotation. Definitely comparable to good Thai in SF. Ambience is lacking, but every restaurant in this town is, so I have to take that out of my Pacifica-places-to-review equation. I usually order "to go" but, service is pretty good. I'm half Thai and everything is pretty fresh and traditional. However, if you want traditional Thai "spice' to it, you have to ask--otherwise, they make everything really mild. read more

Really great Thai food and the old guy working there is pretty hilarious. Don't try ordering the same food as your friend/date cause he won't allow it. I don't think he speaks English because he just grunted at us. BUT back to the food, it's really good! read more

Around Christmas 2016 we had a lot going on so decided cooking was too much. We checked with the restaurant and they were going to be open so we placed an order and had a great, if unusual for us, Christmas dinner. Enjoyed it so much decided to do it again for Christmas 2017, when we'd have 4 guests. Because there would be 6 people, stopped in to the restaurant a week before to check if they'd be open on Christmas day. We were told they would be, until 5PM. At 230 when I went to place and pick up the order, CLOSED. They ruined Christmas dinner for 6 people. I do not recommend this unreliable restaurant who lied to customers. read more

In the 15-20 years since I first ate at Pacifica Thai I've been to dozens of other Thai places and none of them ever compare. The red chicken curry and fried bananas with macapuno ice cream are to die for. read more

Typically I don't write reviews unless something is either really good or completely horrible. Unfortunately, this place falls into the latter category. I judge the quality of a Thai restaurant based on their curries - a) do they taste good, and b) will they actually make it "Thai hot" when I ask for it, and the answer here was definitely in the negative. The yellow curry looked like no yellow curry I've ever seen before - it was more like some chicken scraps and a few meagre vegetables in a pot of oil. The red curry wasn't much better. Both were beyond greasy and completely inedible. And where's the heat? I get it, I'm a white dude, you don't think I can handle the spice, but please, let me be the judge of that. I don't really understand all of these 5-star reviews. I'm willing to grant that maybe this place has some good dishes and they just suck at making curry, but I won't be going back to find out. read more

Let me first start with this, I am not from Thailand but this is probably what it's like to go visit your Thai grandparents and have them cook for you! This place was bomb! And the portion size was perfect for my girlfriend and I! The place was hella clean and the food came out quick, the price is reasonable! The old dude everyone is complaining about was nice and even gave me a bag of shrimp chips and a pat on the back as I left! I'll be back for more, and to visit my long lost grandpa! read more

We get take out from here pretty regularly. Their shrimp pad Thai is delicious as is their coconut curry. The woman their is the sweetest lady you'll ever meet. She's given us free fruit and shrimp chips on several occasions. She makes you feel like family. read more

Good place. Carpet smells like it needs replacing but the food was flavorful and the portion size good. I had Chu-Chee Salmon with brown rice and my bride enjoyed the Pad Thai with chicken. Our waiter was a grouchy-seeming old guy who barely spoke. read more

I really liked the Pad See Ew with chicken. Portions weren't really constant though because my friend ordered the same thing but had a little more. It tasted good and the lunch special was decently priced. It came with Thai tea, but it's SUPER sweet. Definitely satisfies the Thai craving. read more

I want to like it more because I love Thai, and I'm a Pacifica local, but this place is just OK. We've done takeout a number of times. It's a smidge greasy, but there are some yummy items. Good for a non-cookign night, but nothing I'd rave about to a friend. read more
