The food is so delicious. We normally pick this up to go and they are always very prompt.

We really wanted to like it because we need a good Thai in the area but unfortunately our experience tonight was disappointing. We ordered beef and chicken satay and chicken wings with the house sauce as well as a papaya salad and a Penang curry. The satays were just OK. Not a lot of flavor at all. The wings were good but there could have been more for the price. The papaya salad was not good. There was a funky quality to it that just did not sit well. The curry was the best thing overall and if we decide to try again we'll focus on the curries and the noodle dishes. read more

Superb green pumpkin curry. Excellent sticky rice. Fast, friendly service to go. Supports pro-choice. 5* read more

I decided to try this new Thai/Lao place today and was not satisfied with the dishes I ordered. Mok Pa was very watery. Lack of dill flavor. Kappoon was a little on the sweet side. Roti came with a very small dipping curry sauce. Roasted egg plant and fish did not even tasted like what I can make. The stuffed chicken was the only thing I liked but price for two is outrageous. $15. I say go to Vientiane cafe if you want authentic Laotian food and price for an entree is reasonable. read more

We stopped by yesterday for an impromptu lunch and was pleasantly surprised. We were greeted @ the door and seated near the window. We had the Party Wings, Beef & Broccoli, and Chicken Pad Thai. SL Kitchen complemented us with Thai Tea and Roti with Curry Sauce ( thin pancake that was very light & delightful). The food was tasty and flavorful as we like to travel globally through our tastebuds currently during CoVid19, no passport needed. Everything came out piping hot and delicious. We'll be back again real soon to try other entrees. Stop by and give our new favorite lunch spot, you'll be enthralled. read more

My daughter loves this place! Their Pad Se Ew is delicious. We come here at least once a week

Fire! One of the best Thai places around! Love the pad see ew and shrimp spring rolls with peanut sauce

We've tried multiple Thai/Laotian restaurants in the East Bay, and SL Kitchen is the best! Their Pad See Ew and Larb (we had fish and beef) are fantastic. Authentic with lots of flavor. The service was also excellent--food was ready quickly and the owner and employees are very amicable and agreeable to customers. read more

We ordered to go and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal! It's not too salty or greasy from our other experiences with Thai food from other locations. Our 18-month old ate up the food asking for more! I highly recommend and willing be coming here more frequently. read more

Everything was so good and fresh, as expected of Lao and Thai food. The appetizers of money bags, angel wings, and Lao sausage...super surprising n uniquely tasteful. The pampano was very good, the drunken noodles were thick and our basil eggplant with pork was well executed. The ambience is airy and allows for conversations, so ideal for dinner. Great find read more

Really love the food! The papaya salad was just the right amount of spicy. Def one of my favs. The service was great as well! The ambiance here was nice and calm. read more

I've visited SL Kitchen numerous times now and I've never left unsatisfied. it's a solid option with a great menu.

Service is lacking and food is mediocre. Ambiance is okay, but as I take a bathroom break, they give my table away to a larger customer group. read more

Friendly staff and delicious food. The pad kee mao is my favorite. When out, they called and provided the perfect replacement that was just as tasty ! read more

WOW this place is so good! We need more Laotian/Thai restaurants in the Bay Area (especially San Leandro!!!) Everything was great. I got: -beef pad Se-ew (the noodles are so thick and yummy) -sampler (Laos sausage, papaya salad, money bags, egg rolls) -roti with curry (my son loved it) -nam Kao (so crunchy and delicious!) -Thai tea (great tea taste and not too sweet) Service is great. Parking is good. However this is a NEW place so they are still working on service and preparation. The food took awhile to come out but if you're in a hurry, I suggest you order to-go or come back in a few months once they work out their kinks. Super authentic! Cravings satisfied. read more

This has got to be one of the worst Thai food we had. It was not authentic at all. We got a fried chicken fried rice and the rice was super dry and hard. I am pretty sure it was old rice. The tum yum soup had way too much onions and what looked like fried garlic pieces. It's as if the chef decided to toss what's leftover in the kitchen because it was the end of the night. The papaya salad had no flavor. It was not even worth keeping the leftovers. I would not recommend this place at all. Two stars because the staff was friendly. read more

Not too much people. But for real, the noodles really taste good . I try the F1 . No spicy, the soup was so good . And my husband try F2, a little bit spicy. And the THAI coffee, I love it, u can get more milk, that will be not too sweet read more

Like this place, one of the best Thai restaurant around the area. I have been here for few times and food always stays great. Don't forget to choose the Thai noodles called pad Thai, curry, papaya salad, satay, money bag and the spicy soup, I think it called tun yum kung. Oh, another appetizer called pan cake with curry sauce also taste really good. Curry lovers must try. Will come again. read more

I love this place. My go to is the pad Thai. I actually have only tried one other dish (the pineapple fried rice) which was also good but I just keep going back to the pad Thai. It's so yummy. I've never eaten in the restaurant (I've only done takeout) but my order is always fast and fresh. I highly recommend this place if you're in the area. read more

We discovered this gem a few months back and have been here multiple times. Service and food is incredible and we are always treated well. We are vegetarians and have tried red curry, green curry, panang curry, fresh spring rolls and pad thai. We loved everything we had and this restaurant is highly recommended. read more

Traveling from the east coast and being spoiled with a plethora of quality options, we're so glad to have found this place. Best Thai food in town, my family and I was craving authentic Thai and so glad we have found it for dinner. I can't wait to come back and try the rest of the amazing dishes and their lunch menu. read more

I did a pick up order. One pad Thai and mango chicken. The food was very average. Nothing exceptional and dry food. But what really turned me off was their customer service. I called and placed my order. Since I don't eat pork, I wanted to confirm that I food I ordered had no pork or pork products. So I asked them that. The lady answering my call didn't understand me for 10 mins then handed the call the to someone else. The man was condescending and rude. Then I could hear the lady laughing in the background. They made me feel stupid for asking a simple question. So no, I'll not go back here. read more

Deep fried quail is stellar! Fried chicken on fried rice was superb as well. The breading on the chicken was out of this world. Really nice and modern inside. Staff was courteous and friendly. Will be back for more!! read more

Very delicious. Curry comes without rice. I expected it to come with so that was a bit confusing. Will return. read more

I had it delivered but ordered the appetizer sampler with the papaya salad, sausage, egg rolls and money bags - Lao style. And Thai Fred rice with egg and tofu. Both dishes were excellent and flavorful. Sorry, I ate it so fast that I failed to take a picture. I was pleasantly surprised how well prepared they were. I am definitely re-ordering the same dishes, plus some more the next time I'm craving Thai/Lao food! read more

I was craving for Thai food yesterday and found SL Kitchen with 4.5 stars in San Leandro. My husband drive 30 minutes there to satisfy my craving and really looking forward to some good Thai food. The restaurant was not busy and we got seated right away. The ambiance was pretty zen, the waitresses were very courteous and helpful. Service was good and quick. So far everything is 4.5 stars. We ordered Tom Yum soup with shrimps, Angel stuffed chicken wings, satay chicken, yellow curry chicken, basil egg plant with beef and crab fried rice. Everything came quite quickly. The most disappointed part is they don't taste like authentic Thai food. The Tom Yum soup and yellow curry were very sweet. The crab fried rice and the basil egg plant were bland no where closed to Thai food at all. If you are looking for a true authentic Thai restaurant. Skip this one. Is not worth the money. read more

Excellent Tasty Thai cuisine within blocks on my home! I've been eating here for the past 6 months and it's been delicious every single time. I love their spring rolls, Panang curry, drunken noodles and sticky rice with mango. Im so grateful to have this restaurant in San Leandro as there weren't any tasty and affordable Thai restaurants in town. The service is always friendly and attentive. read more

First time at this restaurant, very nice and clean. Angel wings and pad se ew is delicious, and the basil chicken fried rice was nice.

The service was great, the waiters are very attentive . Food is good! I would totally recommend this place read more

At last, a local-within-easy-walking-distance from home restaurant that we enjoy! We live in the surrounding neighborhood that has seen restaurants come and go along MacArthur Boulevard. There hasn't been a nearby dine-in restaurant that we have enjoyed along this commercial row since Creasian closed many years ago. SL Kitchen is perfect for when we simply don't feel like cooking, want to dine-in or take out, and it isn't a complete budget buster. We tried SL Kitchen during their soft opening a few months ago and weren't impressed. Two weeks ago, we decided to try it again and are glad we did. Since then, we have returned twice and enjoyed Pad Thai, Lad Nah, fish filet, spring rolls, green curry, money bags, rice and a sticky rice with mango dish for dessert. Everything was just fine for the location, price point, atmosphere and casual dining. A San Leandro couple own this business -- another plus. At the end of our meal today, the husband came to our table to thank us for coming in again. We learned that he worked for Creasian when it was our around-the-corner favorite restaurant. If you are a "local" who has not wanted to try SL Kitchen because the location has had too many "meh" restaurants, SL Kitchen is well worth a try. We are pretty lucky because our neighborhood now has a burger joint that our son-in-law and grandson love. We also have a more upscale eatery within a mile for splurge nights and a celebratory drink. Hope this place is here for years to come. MacArthur Boulevard doesn't offer an entertainment center and there aren't large office centers with many employees nearby. So, SL Kitchen lacks a ready made clientele. There is abundant on street parking, but the adjacent lot is tiny. The large back dining area could be a banquet room for a small crowd. They don't yet offer beer and wine but intend to do so. As mentioned, the food earns high marks for the price point, atmosphere and casual dining setting. read more

When you walk in they were very inviting and extremely pleasant. The food was delicious. They we very attentive and helpful. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone that wants a really good meal for a good price. read more
