We wanted to try someplace different and this place is close by to my sister's house in the parking lot where Island Pacific is. There are lots of parking spaces in this lot. The signage was missing as they are refacing the storefront signs. It is right next to the dry cleaners. We sat in a cozy booth and ordered Thai iced tea, woon sen, Pad Thai with chicken and Pad See Ew with beef and gravy. We decided to share the dishes family style and enjoyed the woon sen and Pad Thai; however Pad See Ew took a long time to come out and it was a-ok, not much flavor but had big pieces of beef and broccoli. There was only one server and for the most part, when we needed her to bring hot tea (as the tea wasn't hot), she was not visible. We asked for hot tea a second time and she discovered the machine was broken as the water wasn't hot. Food prices are reasonable but seemed like service was slow. read more

This is still consistent on all food offerings and prices are great. But we just wanted to update the owners to please clean up the area and specially the restrooms. We understand it is busy but have a look and see. The food is so good and hate to see the cleanliness in detail is not a priority and may loose business. The front door glass needs wiping so please please clean up before someone posts negative reviews because of this, a quick clean up would make a difference. For years we have been telling the server but no one seems to listen. We still live the food and will update again. read more

Came here for lunch on a weekday. There was only one lady working tables and orders. There wasn't anyone dining in. People were seated at tables waiting for their to-go orders. I waited a few minutes before being acknowledged and then seated. Then waited another few minutes before she took my order. I ordered the chicken curry lunch special which came with a salad. The food came out really quick after I ordered. The portion was just right. The curry was yummy. The rice was a little undercooked. The chicken was okay. They used white meat; so if you eat it with the sauce it wasn't too dry. (I personally prefer dark meat or tender meat). The potatoes in the curry was nice. Be aware that either the price went up versus what the menu says OR their system's calculation is incorrect. I was charged $12.30 after taxes but before tips. If the chicken curry lunch special shows $10.95 and sales tax in Union City is 10.75%, the receipt should've said $12.13 before tips. read more

3.5! My bf was excited to try this place since the daly city one closed and he said it's the exact same! We got the ribs, the garlic short ribs, tom yum soup and pad see ew. I give it a 3.5 because it was good but it wasn't anything I haven't tasted before. It definitely tastes homemade but there was no "wow this is bomb" factor to any of it. My bf loved the ribs! We'll be coming back to try more. The waiter was nice and attentive. Restaurant was empty when we came but a lot of to-gos. We also went at like 530 so not dinner time yet. Love the cultural decor! read more

Solid choice. Thai food seems to be the most expensive Asian food but what can I say it's good stuff. We needed a to go order for a quick get together and the service was fast and friendly. The portions were not the big, so we weren't stuffed. Taste-wise, it hit the spot but no stand-outs or phenomenal dishes. Did not dine in but there were a few parties inside. Definitely old and in need of a reno or deep clean, but the stickiness of it all adds to the charm. read more

The reason why I've rated this 3 and not 2 is because if wer'e talking about the food itself, it would've been a 5. The pad thai, crab fried rice, yellow curry, and the pork spare ribs all tasted amazing. The service on the other hand, I would rate it a 1.5. We got to the restaurant around 4 P.M which was when it said it was reopened. They weren't ready at 4:40 and my family and I had to wait a couple more minutes. When we were finally able to sit down, it felt like the staff who served us was upset at us and felt very hostile throughout the time we were there. I think the most disappointing part is that we had told her that one of us had a peanut allergy and to not include it in the two orders of pad Thai we ordered and she still did. Several of us let her know about the allergy and still added it to both dishes. So if you're there for the food, I'd recommend it but for the dine in experience, I would not recommend that. read more

Ordered chicken pad Thai last night at 8:30pm, to go. The chicken is hard and dry like a jerky, the noodles are deep red-brown and is super salty. The tofu is burnt dry-crisp. This is not edible! Wasted $16 read more

Thai BBQ - Pad Thai chicken - Thai Near Me - Union City, California

Hidden gem for sure!!!! So good, so affordable, and generously portioned. The Beef Panang Curry was one of the best I've had. So flavorful with so many chunks of tender beef inside. Absolutely loved the tender chicken Sate as well as the dearest crab cakes serve freshly hot. Forgot to take a picture, but the spicy basil fried rice was so good too and they give so much! Prices are very affordable. Very casual, hole-in-the-wall spot. Service was just okay, but the food was the star. Will definitely be back when i'm craving authentic and affordable thai with generous portions. read more

I've been here multiple times and the food quality is very consistent! The pad thai and pad see ew are very yummy and flavored well. I wasn't as big of a fan of the wonton soup though (came off very peppery) and also have tried one of their chicken entree dishes and a vegetable dish. They were only okay and not something I would recommend from here. Their best is the noodles! Service was good. Usually we see the same guy working and he's always nice and quick with the service. Very attentive! Store dining area itself is also okay, no complaints. It's definitely not the newest restaurant, just about average. Only complaint is the bathroom is tucked away and theres a lot in the way to get there read more

Love this spot! Their pricing is really affordable for the bay. Their pad Kee mao with meat is about $12 and comes with tons of noodles. I just wish they added more veggies bc I'm a veggies person haha. It's a quaint hole in the wall spot next to island pacific. I came here on 130 on a random weekday. I placed my takeout order and got my food in 20 minutes, so I highly recommend calling in ahead of time. The noodles were delicious, nicely well seasoned and sauced. I got medium spicy and it was pretty spicy! I'm going to come back and try other times in their menu, from other stir fry noodles and fried rice. Parking is plentiful! read more

When I was a kid living in Los Angeles, we used to go to The Thai Original BBQ on 3rd and Ardmore. That restaurant put Thai food on the US map. I am so happy that they opened a branch here in Union City. The food here really brings me back to when I was a kid. Having lunch/dinner with family and friends. The food here is good. The service is ok (considering there was only one person running the dining floor.) Once we ordered the food came quickly. The ambiance is casual, homey. Great for families, friends, and even date lunch or dinners. read more

I have to admit through my own fault, I've been sleepin' on Thai BBQ. I've seen it a million times, and I know they've been around forever. I came with my family to celebrate my mom's birthday. We had a party of 11. restaurant was able to accommodate us, no problem. They also took very good care of us. Service was friendly and they were constantly checking on us: The food didn't take as long as expected with everything we ordered (which was A LOT). The server also kept us updated with dishes coming out, so that was helpful. I was so stuffed when I left! My family and I had a great experience. I will definitely be back soon. read more

Poor customer service from the moment you walk in and the moment you leave. Ignore food allergens and unsanitary conditions. Do not recommend coming here and to go somewhere else. Check out the other reviews confirming this. I told the lady multiple times I have a peanut allergy and to not include it in the Pad Thai. I felt she brushed it off. When she brought the Pad Thai, it had peanuts all over! She didn't recognize it until after I had to call her over. read more

Terrible experience. Bad service. We wanted to order 3 different appetizers but they brought two orders of one of the appetizers and claimed that we asked for two orders. There was only one waitress. She never smiled once and seemed mad the entire time. The food was okay, not great. The chicken in the curry was big chunks of chicken breast, very dry, flavorless, and chewy. No one could swallow it. We told the waitress and were told that's how they make it. I guess that's tough! A lot of times the waitress sets the mood for the evening, and it was just not enjoyable. This was my second time visiting and would also be the last time. Then I remember the first time was a similar experience, the appetizer sampler also was very dry, food was over fried. read more

Thai BBQ - Garlic Pork - Thai Near Me - Union City, California

I've came here before but this time I'm honestly disappointed the food wasn't as good and one of the potato's in the yellow curry wasn't fully cooked. The Thai tea tasted different I can't describe it exactly but as if it was expired. The fresh roll sauce was super gingery this time. In terms of the service this is where my disappointment came from it was really busy so we didn't get to have much service but the food came out quickly. When I went to pay with my gf's card I wrote 0 for the tip as it wasn't my card so I didn't want to add anything for the tip without asking my gf if she had cash. I handed over the receipt and the lady grabbed it and stared at it and asked me why I didn't tip. I was so shocked by this question I couldn't even respond not once have I ever been asked that before. She also said next time just order to go instead. The last time I came here it was a different lady and she was very sweet but I'm not sure the name of this lady and because of this I have to give a 1 star review. I wouldn't want anyone coming in and being questioned on tipping. read more

I used to love coming here to this restaurant. However, it was disappointing with the customer service and quality of food. My mom found a piece of plastic in her rice and we weren't comped for her meal and my rice had traces of red spice when there wasn't any spice in my dish to begin with. The food tasted as if it was reheated instead of cooked fresh. I will be going to the Pacifica location instead even though it's close to SF. read more

I ordered through doordash was a pickup order. My son went to pick it up, and gave them the text messages food we're ready and restaurant wouldn't give it to him. Told him gave my name and the last 4 of my card. They have issue of releasing the food to him and on top of that they forgot another order of mango and rice dessert. I had spend approximately 86 dollars. Treat people with respect and not judge a person by the color of his skin. Disappointed that a racial profiling at the restaurant in a small town. I will not go here as long as I live in this town. Racial profiling business! read more

I went here with my boyfriend for Valentine's Day, and it was his treat. I am so happy because it did not disappoint. One of my all-time favorite dishes is pad Thai, and we asked the staff to make it extra spicy, which they did perfectly. The dishes were very authentic and delicious. The location was a bit unexpected, being next to Island Pacific, and I didn't think there would be a Thai restaurant there. The complex is nice but feels a bit secluded. However, the parking is great, and the food was excellent. I also love that it's very close to home, making it a convenient spot for us. read more

Thai BBQ is a modest strip mall eatery with an affordable menu of Thai dishes. We started with the Papaya Salad, a sweet, sour, salty mixture of shredded papaya/carrots with green beans, tomatoes, cabbage, shrimp, and crushed peanuts, all in a fish sauce dressing. The Monster was an amusingly named dish made of grilled shrimp mixed with lime juice, chili paste, cucumber, onion, and herbs, served over a bed of chopped lettuce. Finally, we had to try the Kai Yang, or BBQ chicken, a half grilled chicken served with a sweet and sticky house sauce and shrimp fried rice. The chicken was disappointingly flavorless and slightly burnt on the outside, and while it was fine for grilled chicken, there wasn't anything "Thai" about it. Overall, the flavors here weren't particularly authentic and left something to be desired. read more

Portions are great, prices are great, flavor was okay, but where's the spice? Ordered drunken noodles ($12.95), Thai spicy- and it was not spicy at all. Asked for some Thai chilies or fish sauce with chilis but they don't have any (nor pepper flakes). They only had some basic chili sauce that was sweet but not spicy. Party also said their order had no spice. Probably would not return unless I take it to go and have my own Thai chilies or chili oil sauce. read more

We always come here whenever we have a craving for Thai BBQ chicken or ribs. It is located next to the Pacific supermarket in Union City. The service is fast and quick. We ordered our favorite Thai BBQ chicken together with a combination chow mein. We also had their Thai iced tea. The BBQ chicken came with half a size of chicken with rice. It also came with sweet sauce for dipping with the chicken. I liked this Thai BBQ and the serving is huge. The chicken is tender and juicy. The combination chow mein has chicken and beef with noodles. Whenever we come here, we always enjoy their Thai BBQ. read more

I wanted to try a new restaurant in my area and stumbled on this. This place isn't new just never been. I always drive by it but never thought to give it a try. This restaurant in right by Island Pacific and Luisa and Sons. This complex is pretty old and worn down, you can see the wear and tear on the building and in the parking lot. Went in and it was small and quiet. We sat down and got eaten by the booth chairs. lol I am guessing they are pretty old. After quickly looking at the menu, I decided on BBQ chicken, got chicken sate for appetizer and I can hardly remember what my bf got. It didn't take long and order came out. After first bite I wasn't impressed. Chicken was soo dry that I had to keep dunking it in sweet chili sauce. It also seemed like maybe it's been sitting a while. The sate chicken was also pretty dry. The rice was okay. Overall food was okay. Everything was pretty cheap compared to many other restaurants in the bay so I wasn't really mad about the whole experience. Staff was kind and attentive. read more

One of my favorite Thai restaurants to go to! This place has incredibly reasonable prices and food quality is really. Food portions are really big and they taste really good. I usually get BBQ Chicken Dinner. It comes with shrimp fried rice with their special sauce. The place is really nice too though they should start replacing old lightbulbs with new ones. It's pretty dim here, but doesn't really change the fact that this restaurant is good for eating. Staff are very friendly when they use simple greetings to say hi to customers. I honestly bet that everything there is good based on foods I had here. Definitely will come back for more! read more

I decided to order takeout here over the phone since their prices are still quite reasonable. I ordered the cashew tofu; it is indicated as spicy on the menu, but since I avoided eating the chiles themselves, I found it pretty mild and manageable. The sauce is strong and flavorful, actually maybe a little too salty if you're getting it a la carte without any rice or other carb like I did but I did think it tasted great. The tofu is nicely fried and there is a lot of bell pepper and onion as well. My partner ordered Thai BBQ chicken a la carte, and thye thought it was pretty decent as well. That dish is pretty much only chicken, and does not come with curry. read more
