Mauricio B.

I usually visit the other location downtown on San Fernando Street, but we accidentally routed to this location and gave it a try. We were wowed by the person who helped us named Pinke (I apologize if that is not how her name is spelled!). She was very attentive and very nice! The wait was a little long, so I recommend ordering ahead. The mango sticky rice and yellow curry were the stars of the show! The pad kee mao and basil fried rice were surprisingly bland. The basil fried rice was recommended to us and it was my least favorite dish. There was also a hair in the basil fried rice (pictured below) which was a disappointing :(.

This is a belated review but my family came here back in October for dinner after a wedding rehearsal. We were a party of about twenty people and I felt horrible for the staff that looked after us, especially since I think we only had one waitress. But she absolutely killed it and always made sure our needs were met. The food was also delicious. I got my day's protein intake and enjoyed it greatly. I'd love to come back here when it's just me and not my massive family.

50. Panang Curry
Farhana M.

The staff is very knowledgeable on what is/can be made gluten free! Ordered the basil thai fried rice at medium spice and this was such a good kick. The green curry cannot be made gluten free so we got the panang curry with beef at mild and its essentially no spice.

Admittedly, I don't eat Thai food that much, so a lot of these dishes were unfamiliar to me. I ordered what sounded good and they were all really tasty. i think it is a little bit on a pricier side, but it's downtown, so it's understandable.

Great portions & food & service. I got a pad Thai it was epic 6$ beer too made it a great deal

Thai iced tea
Ki ..

Came here for the SJ Dine Downtown promotion: https://sjdowntown.com/wp-content/uploads/Saby-Thai.png Quiet early Sunday evening, very clean inside. Thai iced tea at good level of sweetness for me and the noodles were good but I enjoyed the egg rolls in particular: Not greasy and good flavor. The waitress was very friendly and attentive and checked to make sure I had everything I needed.

Fish Penang curry

Ok experience. Under staffed, average food. Can try the place if craving for Thai food.

49. Basil Eggplant
Destiny T.

Went in on a random Thursday and boy it was soooo busy (there was an event going on nearby). Even with such a large rush, the staff were friendly and doing their best to put in orders and serve all the guests in a timely manner. The restaurant itself was inviting, a bit hidden, and not too far a walk from San Pedro. Food was good albeit a bit saucy for me, but nothing a side of white rice won't fix! I ordered the basil eggplant which came more with bell peppers than actual eggplant. Vegetables were cooked perfectly with a slight crunch and overall very satisfying. Flavors were good and if you're in the mood for spice, they definitely can pack some heat (when asked). They have a nice variety on their menu for whatever you're craving!

Nice atmosphere in the restaurant for good dinner vibes. Came here with a group of friends and we ordered the appetizer to share. I would say the entrees are pretty decent, but nothing special. Got the lamb curry and it felt like too little lamb for the cost. Their Thai tea was very very good though - not too sweet and still very fresh tea taste. The appetizers were also very nice - especially the shrimp spring rolls.

Nuran S.

Came here for lunch and ordered to go. Ambiance was great. Decor is minimal and updated. Very clean inside. Service was efficient. To go orders usually take 15-20 minutes so it's best to call and order ahead. The lunch menu has great specials for $15 dollars you get entree curry, rice and a side salad. I ordered the the basil eggplant with chicken and it was delicious. Portions were great. You can adjust the spice level and they give you fresh red chili's. Wish they offered more rice though because I ran out.

33. Pad See Ew
Daisy M.

Had pad kee mow and it was just okay. If you put pad see ew next to each other, you wouldn't tell the difference in taste or look. The pad keeps mow just tasted like pad see ew with basil. Disappointing that this and another thai place can't get it right. Nevertheless, it was good and generally what I would pay. It's close to work and the food came out fast. Would come here again but I wouldn't order this again.

54. Yellow Curry

I'm an avid partaker of Thai cuisine and I must say that this is some of the best yellow curry I've ever had!!! Delicious

THAI B.B.Q CHICKEN Set
Gerald L.

It's pretty good in my opinion but not super great. Mainly because it's clear the THAI B.B.Q CHICKEN was pre cooked and reheated. Parts of the chicken were cold. Other users were overcooked and dry. The papaya salad was good but the sticky rice tasted like regular rice. Doesn't that usually have coconut or simmering? However, the GOONG GA BAWG was very good! It's like a shrimp rolled up in an egg roll skin. Lastly, the Penang curry was pretty good.

YUM! Must Be Thai was great and lived up to the ratings and reviews. I must have been feeling…read moreadventurous as I took both my picky child/teen and my picky Asian parents at the same time. Well the risk paid off as all my picky family members enjoyed EVERY dish. Admittedly I am pretty shocked. We ordered: Crispy Fried Calamari: deep fried, chunky tender pieces of calamari that was perfectly portioned for our smaller group Tom Yum Fried Rice: fragrantly fried with a good lemongrass flavor Hat Yai Fried Chicken: light crisp outside and oh so tender and not dry on the inside. Southern Pad Thai: ok Must Be Thai. You get us. This is the first place to live up to my family's level of spice. There is a reason it is marked "SS" on the menu representing "Seriously Spicy". Kiddo and I loved it. NSFCP (Not Safe for Canto Parents) however lol. Overall, we really loved the variety of the regional Thai dishes, flavors, and textures. Can't wait to go back. Hoag Me:

Came here on a Wednesday around 6PM and it wasn't busy! We were able to get seated right away…read more I ordered the panaeng curry w crispy pork and white rice along with thai tea and my friend got the vegetable pad thai. The panaeng curry was flavorful and heavy. It looked small but made me full quite fast. I had to take leftovers. The pork itself was okay it was a bit overcooked :o The thai tea was alright i've had better and it was a bit warm. The vegetable pad thai was perfect. Noodles were chewy and very saucy. I would definitely come back to get this and add a bit more spice as well.

Delicious Thai food with a comfortable and dog friendly outdoor patio! We went on a Saturday…read moreafternoon and there was no line. We ordered the roti, crispy pork belly, sausage, Laos style papaya salad, and a khao soi to share between 3 people. All of the food was absolutely delicious but we felt like the portions were a little small for the price. The pork belly and sausage were both ~ $23 and didn't come with as many pieces as we thought it would. This was some of the crispiest roti I've ever had! I loved the curry dipping sauce on the side and the nice crunch of the cucumbers. The pork belly was slightly overcooked, a little hard but the flavors were great! The sausage tasted house made, it had a great tang to it and I loved the variety of dipping sauce. We ordered extra spicy/hot for the Laos papaya salad but it was definitely medium. The khao soi was very comforting on a cold day and the broth was rich and creamy. I'd definitely come back if I was in the area!

I ordered the Pad Thai (seafood) and Pad See Ew (shrimp), and the total came out to about $50…read more Unfortunately, both dishes were pretty underwhelming. Everything tasted just okay, very mediocre overall. The Pad See Ew had a weird bitter aftertaste that made it hard to enjoy. The Pad Thai was also disappointing; the noodles were clumped together and lacked flavor. We didn't finish either dishes. For the price, I expected much better quality and taste. Probably wouldn't come back.

Absolutely one of the most unique spots in downtown San Jose. Fox Tale Fermentation Project somehow…read moremanages to feel like an experimental brewery and community gathering space all at once. The fermentation concept is woven into everything from the beers and botanical mocktails to the food and it actually works incredibly well. The drinks are creative without feeling gimmicky, and the flavors are layered and thoughtful. The food was surprisingly memorable too, especially how vegetable-forward dishes still felt rich and satisfying. The atmosphere has this warm, artsy, almost hidden-gem energy that makes you want to stay for hours. What really stands out is that the place feels intentional. You can tell the owners care deeply about craft, community, and creating an experience instead of just another brewery. Easily one of the coolest and most distinctive food/drink concepts in San Jose right now.

I need to start off by saying I never had good vegetarian food. I hate vegetarian food. I am a meat…read moreeater and need it for every meal. Fox Tale Fermentation is a small place like a Japanese ramen shop. My high school classmate suggestion this place and I thought she was vegetarian. I asked her why this place; she wanted to try it out but she's a meat eater. I'm down to try new places so we went. When we went, it was really crowded for a Thursday dinner time. A lady saw my cane and offer her table to sit at so I felt seen. You pretty much order at the front counter; you pour your own water. Front counter was so nice to us as we try to order. We got the funk salad and kombucha. We didn't order a lot because we wanted to try the place. When we got to our table, it was near the door. Our funk salad came and it was hefty mf. It was a bowl of salad all right. So you know how I said earlier that I don't like vegetarian food? OMG I was amazed. The best salad I've eaten. The vinaigrette was so good; it was citrusy. My salad was cut into small pieces so it wasn't big that I need to cut it. The sweet potato was sauteed. The princess sauerkraut was so good. I don't like sauerkraut at all but it was divine. I never tried kombucha because I thought it was dirt tea. I was wrong. It has the fermented taste and I never knew. After trying it, it's not something I would order again. I liked how I was eating "healthy" food after I ate bad yesterday. I don't have that bad bloated feeling. It's very wheelchair friendly and restroom is unisex. The restroom is clean. The establishment is clean. I would go here again if I have a vegetarian visitor. This place rocks!
