Very good! You will not be disappointed! 4.5 stars! We ordered too much, but we were happy to have the left overs! Really fresh, plenty of veggies and kind/efficient wait staff! I dinged them for their fresh rolls. While all the ingredients were there, it was bit of a miss/mess. Their rolls were not rolled properly. I think they were trying to make it look huge, but they fell apart as soon as you picked one up. And their peanut sauce had a great taste but the consistency of Peanut butter. Not good for a roll that fell apart. No dipping for sure, more like spreading peanut butter on lettuce. Not gonna lie, I would order again! Because all the ingredients were perfect. Just not executed properly. PadKaeMow delicious! Chicken wings, good, sauce top notch. Would have loved larger wings, but wings are hard to find these days. Red curry delicious! They do not have brown rice. Enjoy! I saw loads of folks walking right by this restaurant to get food from Starbucks! Really? What a shame! Their loss! They should have eaten here. Super good! read more

Drunken noodles are amazing, love this spot. Service is usually good. Ambiance is nice.

Came with a large party. Parking was not hard to find but limited first dish was Nem Kao it was different, made with broken up rice. Lamb chops were amazing but I think it was a special menu. Service was impeccable they even bagged up the food for us. I would definitely come back here and try more of the Thai food like the curry and pad Thai Good place for large parties and small parties as well. read more

I was craving for pad see ew and wanted to try a new place. Saw this Thai and Lao restaurant nearby. It's in a quite neighborhood. I had arrived around 12:20 pm on a Wednesday, plenty of tables available. I was seated on a table near the entrance and window on a very warm day. The server was preoccupied with other diners, provided a menu then came back to take my order. Since I was craving for Pad Se Ew that was exactly what I had ordered with chicken as my protein and Thai ice tea on a to go cup since I like to finish it on my way home. I really wanted to like this place. My food was delivered in relatively short time. On the surface, it didn't look colorful or lively, if I can describe my dish. I had to ask the food server for hot sauce to raise the taste. My first bite was it was salty with or without the chili pepper oil. I wanted the flat noodles despite the saltiness. As usual, I find chicken dry as in most Thai places with this dish or is it me? My Thai ice tea was fine. The atmosphere was fine, service and pricing were fair. I would come back to try other dishes. read more

We went here two days ago. We called in our order and it was ready in about 20 minutes. The woman who took our order, was friendly and the food was piping hot. the standout was the crab fried rice. He liked the sweet and sour wings. We'd go back for these 2 items specifically. It's kinda pricey for the amount of food you got but when we're in the mood for it, we'll get it again. read more

Good food, good ambience and good service. We ate : Thai style papaya salad - this wasn't my favorite, I've had much better so in my opinion this can be skipped. I would rate it 3/5 Crispy fish - 5/5, loved the dipping sauce Crab fried rice - 5/5 Money bag - 5/5 read more

Finally got a chance to dine in after their Grand Opening. When you keep going back week after week, that's when you know it's good food! These new times I had Pad Ke Mao in both chicken and seafood, SLK Sampler, Thai Iced Tea and Coffee, Crispy Fried Chicken Fried Rice, Papaya salad with fermented crab, and Roti with yellow curry sauce. Everything is always on point hitting the spot! Will continue to try new things on their menu. read more

Definitely my favorite Thai place in this area! The service is amazing and the food is delicious. Everything is super clean.

So pleased to have found a Thai restaurant in San Leandro that is so good! Ordered a large take out order to share with some friends and was very impressed. As a yearly traveler to Thailand, I know a lot about Thai food. This food was fresh, well prepared and everything was delicious. I ordered food that my friends wanted: Pad Thai with succulent shrimp, Pad se ew with tofu, Chicken satay with peanut sauce, Papaya salad and Mango with sticky rice. All of us thought the sticky rice was the best we had ever eaten. The portions were all large. There were countless large shrimp in the pad thai and the peanut sauce was amazing. I will definitely be coming back for me. read more

SL Kitchen - B2. Laap Salad - Thai Near Me - San Leandro, California

Nice, upscale, modern Thai restaurant in the bottom floor of fairly new multi-use building. Located adjacent to I580 with abundant street parking. We went on a quiet weekday and the restaurant was packed at 7:00pm. The place has big windows allowing for plenty of light and observation of people and traffic going by. Ordered: - Money Bags with Sweet Dipping Sauce which had a lot of tasty filling surrounded by a crunchy exterior (Liked a lot) - Stuffed Chicken Wings with a sweet dipping sauce, two large stuffed wings fried and cut into three pieces (also liked a lot), a lot of effort is put into making this dish - Roti with Coconut Curry dipping Sauce (prefer a puffier Roti, SLK's version is flat like a quesadilla) - Tom Kah Gai, chicken coconut lemongrass soup that had plenty of chicken and mushrooms (very good), suggest getting a bowl of jasmine or white rice to add to your soup bowl, feeds four easily - Panang Curry with Pork, which was rich with flavor although my wife prefers the green curry - Pad See Ew with Beef, we normally get Pad Thai as a measuring stick for all Thai restaurants but allowed my Sister to order and she wanted fatter noodles. The beef was tender and the whole dish was very tasty (would get this again) - Mango with Sticky Rice, mangos were a bit tart and rice a bit chewier than expected Service was excellent as they checked on us often. They also packed and bagged our leftovers for us. My sister was quite happy with the food and that made our evening! read more

I am a big fan of supporting community businesses. I love enjoying a great product. The food at SL Kitchen is excellent. The service is welcoming,responsive and consistent.

the lao sausage is amazing. the food options are great. very quick service and super cute inside. the walk to the bathroom is kind of scary.

We love take out from SL Kitchen. We ate in the restaurant once before, and it was also a great experience. The food is fresh and the whole family has their favorite dish. My kids sometimes feel like picky eaters but not here. We enjoy the chicken skewers, spring rolls, crispy fish, Panang curry, pad Thai, calamari, and the Tom Kha soup... I'm sure there are more dishes we would love! read more

This place is such a hidden gem. I am in disbelief that this place is not booked every night. Don't have pictures of the most delicious food because we eat it too fast. The service, food, ambience is amazing! Our favorites are the nam khao, money bags, basil wings, kapoun, and crispy fish. Also has a private room you can celebrate that most special event in your life. read more

Excellent on every level. Egg rolls were crispy and delicious. The red curry I ordered was very flavorful. Service was above and beyond. Prices are very reasonable. A true gem in San Leandro. read more

I came to this restaurant a few times . But this time I came back here with a bunch of friends for the special items . We have tried all the special items . (Curry crab, lambs with house sauce , jumbo tiger prawns ) It blowed our mind away that all the items were so delicious. Lambs : the meat was cooked perfectly (very tender n juicy ) with the house-made green sauce on the top tasted absolutely more delicious . I had my meat cooked Medium rare , depending on how you like your meat cook , either way it will be amazing . Curry crab : the rich curry flavor was amazing , the crab was very fresh , we ordered 3 crabs n We ate them all . Jumbo tiger prawn : this dish is very flavorful , a little bit sour n a little bit sweet , with the basil on the top gave extra fresh flavor . All those items you need to pre order within 24 hours ahead . We loved loved everything that we ordered . The service was great , the owner gave us free ice cream n mango sticky rice , we felt so pleased that we got served so well . Thank you read more

Food was amazing!!! I ordered the Panang Curry Spicy W/ Shrimp & Added Seafood Combo & sticky rice. I was upset when my driver from Uber eats got here because my Thai tea drink was missing but when I called they assured me she had multiple orders to deliver & left my drink. They gave me credit for when I come in so I'm glad it was fixed within a 5min phone call. Other than the hick up (things happen I was just really thirsty lol) but the deliciousness of the food made up for all of that!!! I would post a picture but I ate it already Highly Recommended! read more

Ive been coming here for a while ever since they first opened but the food quality has gone down..not sure if they changed cooks but I did see some Hispanic people in the back cooking and before it looked like Asian people were cooking the food...food was good before, wish they would bring back the old cooks. Well until next time or maybe not? read more

Service: 5 star They were attentive and it didn't take long to get their attention. Parking: 4 start On street parking, I didn't see a park lot Food: 1 star Now here is where I had a problem with this restaurant. It's not authentic at all. When I see Thai/Laotian cuisine on Yelp, I get the impression that it's gonna be like moms cooking. Granted that my family is from Laos and I'm use to the authentic Lao/Thai food, this restaurant was pretty much serving spicy Chinese food at best. It's no where near being a Thai/Lao restaurant. I'm sorry for writing this type of review but when I went there and had dinner with my family, we pretty much left half of our food there and went home soooooo disappointed. It's a one and done type of restaurant for me. But if you like Chinese food, this would be the spot for you, like I said, spicy Chinese Food at best. read more

I would not recommend this place and I will not be returning. Ordered pad see ew, panang curry and some appetizers. Pad see ew that I ordered with tofu and no egg (as I am vegan) indeed came with egg, but besides that it had no flavor. Panang curry that I ordered with mild spicy was very spicy and I could not eat. Fresh roll and veggie egg rolls were fine. read more

This is restaurant is a jewel. The service is outstanding, everyone is attentive and inviting. The restaurant area is very clean and the food is fresh and very tasty.

Very attentive staff , food & ambiance was really good. Will be returning to try more dishes read more

SL Kitchen - Shrimp Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - San Leandro, California

Food was ok. For Thai food it lacked that good flavor I am used to. I think those with a light palette would enjoy the food but I don't think I am in any rush to come back here. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a long time. This was the most bland food I've ever had, and for takeout they didn't include any of the hot sauces or anything to spice it up. We ordered pad Thai and a noodle soup. The pad Thai was on the sweet side. The noodle soup was completely bland and not worth the $18. I really wanted to give this place a great review but it disappointed. read more

Ordered tempura shrimp, lad nah with chicken, kapiek noodle soup, money bags, basil chicken wings, thai tea, mango sticky rice, and roti with ice cream. The most edible item was the money bags. Felt like this spot was a fusion thai/lao restaurant. It wasn't very authentic. Also, the mangos were sour af in the mango sticky rice. Skip the thai tea. It didn't even taste like anything. Also, this place took FOREVER for the food to come out, so be prepared to WAIT a long time. read more

My favorite local Thai place. Their fired fish dish and roti dessert are my must-haves everytime I'm there.

Service is good but the food is horrible. The angels wings were tooOoooo salty. Eggplant was too oily, pork was too dry and overcooked.

My husband and I picked up 4 dishes from here to bring to our friends' house so we could all have lunch together. We called in the order, and it was ready pretty quickly. When we got to the house to eat, we opened all the food containers, and it smelled SO good in the room. I didn't even take pictures because we just all dug into the food. We got the basil eggplant, red curry, side of rice, pad Thai, and lab nah. Everything was amazing and a good amount for all 4 of us to share. Our friends asked us 3 times for the name of this restaurant, so they might have liked it too definitely coming back here! read more

This was recommended to me by a friend who had travelled through SE Asia and recommended it. The food was very good, but we asked everything to made mild, and while they tried, they were unable to make everything mild. The manager did take that item off the bill, since we only ate a small part of it. We'll go back again. read more
