    Kai Yang (B.B.Q. Chicken) Dinner
    Gino C.

    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.

    Receipt

    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.

    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.

    BbQ spareribs lunch special. Got 2 rice since I told them no salad please. The thai spring rolls is really good and flavorful! This is hidden gem all their food is freshly cooked and very delicious.

    Chicken Yellow Curry B.B.Q. Spare Ribs
    Jenny B.

    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.

    1. Thai Bar-B-Q Spare Ribs
    Nini M.

    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!

    $16.95 for angel wings and shrimp fried rice? Amazing price for what you get! I've only had a bite of the angel wing and the exterior alone was so flavorful. Staff is very friendly I highly recommend!

    Dearest Crab ($12.95)
    Rachel L.

    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.

    Vegetable Phad Thai
    Michelle H.

    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

    Garlic pork short rib
    Paul M.

    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.

    Pad Thai chicken

    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

    Does this place still make and serve Mee Krob? I can't find any place in the tri-city area that does.

    You can always ask them to make you Mi Krop :).. Call in and ask before going.

    Are they doing dinning in already?

    We are not doing indoor dining yet.

    Thai Original BBQ vs Thai Kitchen? What are the differences and your recommendations?

    I never been to Thai Kitchen and probably will never go there as long as Thai OBBQ is still standing. TOBBQ offers great quality food for a reasonable price. I swear I can't find a place who's prices are the same as TOBBQ that are actually worth it.…

The waitress was weird from the start; she was a bit cold and rushed, her interactions purely transactional. It was hard to flag her down the couple of times we needed her throughout the meal. I ordered the calamari and two orders of samosas for the table to start. Both were great, but the samosas in particular were delicious. Those disappeared from the table pretty quickly. For my entree, I went with the green curry and added chicken. It was also great and wasn't stingy with either the meat or the vegetables. I felt satisfied by the end of it and would order it again. But my issue began when, about halfway through our meal and after everyone else had been served and was well into their food, my husband's entree still hadn't come out. At this point I was starting to get concerned that we'd all be done by the time his food finally arrived, so I flagged down the waitress to ask her what was going on with his dish. My mother-in-law asked her before I could, and the waitress somewhat curtly and rudely dismissed her, telling her it was on its way. She had an attitude like *we* were the ones being unreasonable for asking where a missing entree was halfway through the meal. If I had a little less self-control, I wouldn't have been half as nice when I said ok. At the same time, you don't want to start something with the people handling your food. But I wasn't at all happy with the waitress after that; I don't know if she was having a bad day or didn't like something about us from the moment we walked in, but her short fuse didn't impress me. My husband's dish finally came out sometime after that and all was well. I had just enough room for dessert, so I got a scoop of the coconut ice cream. That was fantastic, so creamy and just the right amount of sweetness. So while the food was absolutely delicious here, the service we received left something to be desired and didn't make for a great first impression. But I'd be willing to give them another chance.

The noodles were a little too wet for my liking and lacked some of the color and wok-charred appearance I look for in a good Pad Kee Mao. The portion size was also on the smaller side. I'd be open to coming back and trying some of their other dishes, but based on the Pad Kee Mao, it didn't quite leave the same impression as the restaurant that was here previously.
