Tamee Thai has rebranded from Monkey Thai; they have the same exact menu as Monkey Thai from alameda south shore shopping plaza. The service can be a little slow, just because it's only one person working, but he's pretty quick and attentive. They get quite a lot of to-go orders, since their location is quite small, but it's a nice little restaurant to get their lunch menu special! My go to is their yellow curry over jasmine rice, with a glass of Thai Tea! The parking lot is a little small, since it shares with two other businesses. read more

Amazing curry! Loved both panang and green. The curries have just the right amount of heat that is enjoyable. Yums!! Appetizers were average and I personally would try other options before ordering these apps again. Limited parking plaza Thank you ! read more

Yummy fresh food! Spring Rolls, Satay Chicken, Tom Yum Soup, Drunken Noodles with Chicken and Green Bean Chicken are ALL delicious! One worker hustling inside of the small establishment, be patient and be kind. Good prices and perfect for sharing with my family of 5. Support this local establishment! Will be back to try more. read more

I really missed the old Monkey Thai at Southshore but noticed this place seemed to be related or at least similar to how it once was. Definitely did not disappoint in the quality and variety of food available here. One thing I missed was the fact of how well rounded the variety of ingredients in each entrees were and this place gives the exact same quality if not better. From other Thai places I have tried in the past the quality of the curry, noodle, rice, and special entrees were all over the place but this specific Thai places has my trust in across the board goodness. As a pescatarian and vegetable appreciator, this Thai place specifically will be in my tops due to the good variety of vegetables they include in their dishes while other places have more limited vegetables included in the entrees (i.e. one or two mediocre basic vegetables) which in my personal opinion makes the dish less interesting and less complete feeling. In addition, I was super pleased and thankful for the combo menu which was the PERFECT choice for me and my friends since we all wanted something a little different but having the bonus of an individual sized appetizer and regular drink is something I am always appreciative at restaurants since many people love variety for a more complete feeling meal experience. Absolutely will be coming back to slowly try the whole menu and will be my top pick and recommendation for Thai in Alameda. read more

I don't know what it was with Alameda, we went to 3 restaurant (Lao & Thai) all understaff/busy (in a rush) but this place was the last resort & I was so hungry. The guy who was working here just seem like he was rushing us, yes we did come 8 PM (they close at 9) he gave us until 8:30 PM to order, but as I asked him about questions on items on the menu, dude straight up ignored it bc of him being busy but it was only 2 tables when I walked in... but anyways, the quality of the food was meh, no need to say what was ok & what need improvement they all did. I was disappointed that the beef Thai soup wasn't even Thai boat noodles bc... I wanted beef blood in mines. I'm not coming back here, to the server... pls work on your customer service & learn how to apologize how busy you are so we know & respect your time and attention. This place is so small as well & if you go on a hot day, you'll feel like you're in Thailand read more

Monkey Thai has two locations. This location is on the West End of Alameda and their other location is on the East End at South Shore Center. I like going to Monkey Thai for their lunch specials. With their lunch specials, you can select an appetizer with your rice and entree. I prefer the West End location since their lunch special is around $5 cheaper than the South Shore Center. They have their own parking lot, so parking is not an issue. I ordered the green curry with brown rice and selected the fresh spring roll as my appetizer from the lunch special menu. The green curry was flavorful and spicy when I asked them to make it spicy. At some places, you ask for spicy, and it's not, which is a letdown. The only disappointing thing about my meal is the fresh spring roll. I was expecting something flavorful, like Vietnamese spring rolls. These rolls taste bland, and all you taste is lettuce and noodles. The dipping sauce is Thai-style peanut sauce, unlike Vietnamese peanut sauce, which has hoisin sauce. Thai-style peanut sauce belongs on chicken satay skewers and not with fresh spring rolls. read more

I used to love the food here, even when they initially changed ownership/name from Monkey Thai to Tamee Thai. But the last few times I've been here, they made changes to my favorite dish Pad Kee Mow (drunken noodles). The flavor is a little different but the most important thing is that they changed the type of noodle they use! It's still a "flat wide" noodle but NOT the very wide noodles as before and in old pics on here. I do love the option to make a combination meal and I'll still come here for the convenience. The food is still good, just not outstanding as it was before. read more

29-09-25-18:15-We were the only people dining in. But, they do takeaway mostly. Very reasonable prices for Alameda Calif. The food was excellent. The fresh rolls were so savoury. Larb chicken not too spicy and very tasty. Nice portions. A must when on the Island. read more

The food is great and delicious. Could've used a little more portions and we all know Thai food is expensive ! that doesn't sit well with me two items for like 35 bucks. Please relax.I hit the no tip button on that and just gave him a buck cause I picked up the food myself.its local and quality food! But its big BUT why is vegetables and rice so expensive? I just grew up in a different era where people used to cook their own food. Always Learning and will improve my opinion only. read more

I love this place, it went through a rebrand but flavor is just as tasty! We pulled up at 8:30 so we ordered to go instead of eating in. We got plenty of food for 80$ and it was quick, it was done within 15-20min. It super chill and if you ever want to eat in come before 8:00pm. They still have to clean up read more

I came here with my friends after visiting USS Hornet due to ratings and convenience. It's a cute little establishment on the corner at the light. 3 of us ordered the Monkey combo which includes an appetizer, entree, rice (for non noodle dishes), and a drink. The last dish was BBQ beef. We were all very happy with our choices and recommend it! Service was swift on a Thursday evening and it was not crowded at all. read more

My wife ordered Chicke w/ Basil and Rice, Chicken Wings, and Drunken Noodles. On my way out I went to the to-go station to grab some items. And after I had grabbed some items, the gentleman who was working at 2.45pm. Loudly and rudely chastized me and claimed that I was only allowed to take "enough items for the food" and that I had "already taken too many items." There was about 15 people in the dining area and I was utterly embarrassed. I grabbed 4 pairs of chopsticks, 2 spoons, 2 forks, and 9 packets of soy sauce for a family of 4. And this gentleman had no clue how many people I was grabbing items for. And that's not the point. People that spend money in an establishment don't expect to be disrespected after they spend money in your establishment. And a box of utensils (chopsticks, forks, spoons)cost $30. Like, are we for real? I will not spend another dime at this place and will strongly encourage my friends and family to take their patronage to one of the many other Thai restaraunts in the area. Whoever that guy was, he could definitely benefit from some basic customer service training. read more

I came here right before they closed for lunch on a Saturday and we were able to quickly eat and go. I ordered the lunch special - basil fried rice with a spring roll and Thai iced tea. My husband ordered the bbq beef entree and our friend ordered the Thai fried rice. It was the perfect meal after we gymed. The food was not salty and the vegetables cooked were fresh. My husband's bbq beef could have been more tender as we gotten the dish at the south shore restaurant before. The service was friendly and quick. The ambiance is small and neat. read more

Wowza!! Delicious I ordered the Chicken Satay appetizer and the Penang Curry with chicken. Excellent. Satay came with not only a perfect peanut sauce, but a sweet chili sauce that added an extra pizazz. Chicken was seasoned well with a a little crisp, but not over cooked and dried out. Bonus was how they wrapped the to go order to keep the chicken moist. I have tried Penang Curry at all Thai places in Alameda. By far one of my favorites. Lots of veggies and a generous amount of chicken that was thinly sliced but somehow not rubbery! Thank you read more

Been here several times. I enjoy the food. It's very "Americanized", far removed from genuine Thai cuisine. More like Asian Fusion. It's a popular spot so service can be a bit slow at times but not too bad. There's parking in front and back of the store. read more

I got the Tom yum soup with seafood and it was so good. It had big pieces of scallop, breaded fish, shrimp, and mussels. It had plenty of herbs, garnishes, and seasonings too which made it incredibly fragrant and flavorful. When you order this, keep in mind it doesn't come with rice so you have to pay extra for that. This portion is huge enough for two people too. The workers here were very friendly and the restaurant itself is very clean. There is a lot of parking close by so that's one thing you won't have to worry about. read more

Food: 6/10 Portion size: medium Wait time: 15 minutes for phone order to pick up Service: N/A Total rating: 3.5/5 Came here for the first time. They have 2 locations but we decided to try this one hoping that it's less busy and it was! Our group ordered chicken pad thai, beef pad thai and chicken pad see ew. The dishes we got are very common so I've had them at other Thai restaurants and I have to say the flavoring was a little off for all the dishes and a little bland. Not sure what was missing though of the Thai spice for the ingredients but I've definitely had better. Maybe it was an off day for them. I eill say though that this location has better pricing since it's farther away from things. read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and got seated right away. Checked in on Yelp and was able to redeem a free Thai iced tea; you check in, you can also choose a complimentary beer or glass of wine. The Thai iced tea was pretty good, very sweet though (which is typical) so when the ice melted, it made the drink better. We were also given complimentary salad, which had a really good dressing on it. Ordered Pad Thai with prawns, which had a lot of big shrimps and the noodles were doused in a heavy, delicious sauce. I would recommend this dish! Also ordered Tom Kha which was overpowering in salt and sourness. I would not recommend having it by itself as it will make you really thirsty but mixing it with rice the next day was really tasty. Service was quick and attentive. Food came out quickly and the prices were very reasonable. If you're in the area and craving good Thai food that doesn't break the bank, come check out this local spot. read more

Came here for take out. There's a small lot outside for parking and they have a bathroom located in the back of the establishment. Pad See Ew -tasted oily, couple of burnt pieces. It was a tad sweet but it tasted very similar to Chinese Dry Chow Fun. Pineapple fried rice - looked really oily, and lacked flavor. Good amount of shrimp, chicken and pineapple though. Pineapple curry with beef - I asked for fish but they gave me beef. Beef tasted good, not chewy. Curry was a medium spicy. My regrets for not telling them no spicy as that's an option. Rice for my curry was dry. Overall I think this place was ok, I wouldn't specially make the trip. It could be a bit more flavorful in certain areas. I do think all the dishes were super oily so they could dial that back a bit. read more

Great place for thai food with friends! A little pricy for student budgets, but great overall :) We got the lunch special since all the entrees were about the same price, and got the yellow curry and pad thai options! Along with thai tea. Definitely a more than filling meal and was a great environment to catch up in! The curry came with white or brown rice options. Classic thai food which I'm more than happy with, but nothing too too special. Was nice to come to and a super convenient location since there's parking. read more

Haven't been in , in a while because I've been doing the stupid keto thing. But have been dying for some Thai food. So stopped in tonight and picked up some Tom yum soup with duck. Perfect keto option!!! And it was delicious and filling! It was also happy hour so had a $4 glass of wine while I was waiting. The lovely lady that helped me was suuuuuper friendly, welcoming and helpful. She is amazing! Wish I had gotten her name. Everything about my trip there tonight was fabulous! Just what I needed after the horrible work day I just finished. Still on the diet, but stopping in for that soup again very soon! Props to the employees at this location! They have always delivered amazing service and are still doing it! It is what keeps me coming back. Keep it up y'all! Thank you! read more

My friend and I worked up an appetite after shopping all day in SF. We decided to head to Alameda since the area was a lot calmer and to be honest, safer haha. We were both craving comfort food and decided on Thai! I found Monkey Thai on Yelp and was certainly not disappointed. The place is casual and small and is a hidden gem amongst Park Street. We walked-in and was able to seat ourselves. The waitress that helped us that day was very attentive and quick to take our order. The rundown: Spring rolls - Thick, fat, and tasty. Can't really complain about the rolls. They were yummy and the peanut sauce just made it 100x better! Crispy Chicken Wonton - YES! Hot, crispy, and oh so tasty. The sweet and sour sauce just made it so addicting to eat. 100% must get. Tom Yum with chicken - Good but was missing something... I should have ordered rice on the side because it needed some time of starch. I thought it was going to come with noodles but it didn't. I must have read the menu wrong haha. Red curry with chicken - My friend mentioned that the portion was huge and it was!! Haha. She barely made a dent in her food but partially because we were already munching on the appetizers more lol. She loved that the dish was spicy so she was certainly pleased! I know Monkey Thai has 2 other locations in Alameda, but there's something about this part of the area that makes it more welcoming. Could be the lesser crowd or what not (I'm getting old haha) but I loved it. Til next time! read more

My family and I came for the first time today. I found it took a long time to get. some attention from the people that worked there. When they finally did, they were not the friendly at all. I asked them if the chicken they use if it was white meat chicken. The women had no idea what I was saying. Very confused. My daughter and husband asked for something, the girl proceeded to look at them and walked away. The food was just ok. Didn't find the most authentic at all. The overall experience was not good, and I will be not returning to this place at all. read more

I called in my order at 11:45 for an order of Pad See Ew with tofu. The person on the phone quoted me 10 minutes, which was much faster than I anticipated. I ran a bit late, but upon arrival my food was hot and ready. I grabbed some sambal and chopsticks, paid, and returned to the office. Upon opening the package, I was surprised how much they packed into the to-go container. I ate about half before I realized I forgot to take a picture, but even that half looks substantial. Overall the food was standard fare, tasty, and satisfying. I appreciated that there was good coverage of sauce on the noodles, tofu, and veggies. Generally, I always struggle with whether I like fried tofu or prefer it uncooked--I may ask for uncooked next time for a different texture. While I was there I also snapped a photo of their combo special for next time! I wish I got a shot of their cute/fun tip jar--tipping is very sexy! read more

Stopped here after dropping off some artwork at Michaan's Auction house. It seems like the locals love it here because it was busy enough to know it's good but still had indoor seating available.

** This review was meant for the South Shore location** Did a pick up order that was placed through the phone, it was a simple and easy process. Food was ready in about 20 minutes. It was my first time trying the restaurant and I'm definitely a fan. Papaya salad lao style with medium spice was so good, perfect spice, could maybe go one notch higher next time if I'm feeling courageous. The chicken skewers were delicious and paired well with the peanut sauce. I did like the pad thai, but it's more on the sweet side. Generous portions, I even had left overs! Will definitely be coming back, especially for happy hour. read more

WATCH OUT FOR BUGS. My fiancé and I ordered the Tom Yum Soup, Fresh rolls, Crab fried rice and calamari. I had already taken a few bites of my Tom Yum Soup when I noticed a bug floating at the top of the soup. I thought it might have been seasoning at first so I pulled it out and put it on the napkin. I have attached photos. If you are going to eat here, please be on the look out for bugs. We were grossed out and weren't comfortable eating the other food we ordered. I also reviewed this company's Yelp photos after finding the bug and found that someone else had found a bug in their Thai tea. I will never order from this place again. read more

Came here after the antique market nearby. We were craving some pad thai, so we waited until they were open at 12. There were already some others waiting too, so we knew it was going to be a good place. We had 2 pad Thais and a Thai tea. The Thai tea was on the sweeter side which isn't our preference, but was still so good! The pad Thai came out FRESH and was so delicious. I used the lime because I prefer a more sweet citrus flavor, but it was perfect for my partner. This was one of our favorite pad Thai places that we've tried. Definitely coming here again if we're around the area read more
