I have been to multiple Thai restaurants but this place in St Louis obispo is one of the best. The staff, the quality of food, quantity, taste, service and staff care was wonderful. The ambience is very decent and clean. The also provided me with an extra starter. I had ordered spicy thai basil rice with veggie and tofu & panang curry ! I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is passing by this little town and all the locals to realish the authentic Thai food. Kudos to the amazing staff and chef! You cook food with a lot of love !!! read more

Had some really delicious food here this weekend. Everything was seasoned well and had the perfect amount of heat. They were quick and efficient and had the order ready promptly. We had the green curry, pad see ew, shrimp fried rice, and the veggie eggrolls which were all delicious. I'd definitely return if in the area. read more

I'm genuinely bummed writing this because I just moved in across the street and Thai is my absolute favorite. I ordered the red curry with chicken, but the dish was overwhelmingly bamboo shoots with very little chicken. I actually love bamboo shoots, but in this case they made up most of the meal. I also ordered the curry medium, and it was surprisingly mild -- it had almost no spice at all. You can tell the dish has the potential to taste great, so I'm hoping this was just an off night. The potstickers were good, although I had ordered them steamed and they came fried, so we didn't finish them. The server was very kind, just a bit distracted, which I understand since this was a walk-up takeout order. The space itself is small but very quaint, and I could absolutely see myself enjoying a sit-down meal there under different circumstances. I'm hopeful for a different experience next time. read more

I have tried nearly all the thai restaurants in SLO. This place hands down might be the best one. Their portions are generous, their food is consistently amazing, and their service is fast. If you're thinking about getting Thai food this is the place to go. Would highly recommend to anyone in SLO. read more

Quality/Quantity - Pork Pad See Ew - My daughter's regular item; it was okay. Just enough for one person. Well if you are a big eater, there might not be enough food. Beef Pad Thai - My order. Similar to above. It was good, but just enough for one light eater. Yellow Curry Chicken - Good thing my daughter ordered this extra dish as we needed all the food. I am also glad my daughter liked this dish as I did not. It was not bad, just not a wow. I prefer my curry a little thicker. FYI - When you add meat to the above, it is $2 more each dish. Thai Green Tea - My daughter loves her Thai Tea, especially since she was NOT able to get it when we went to SLO Do Co Donuts; see other review. Atmosphere - Small local restaurant. Consistent business, almost a full house the entire time we were here. Clean restrooms. Plenty of mall parking. Open 6 days a week, from 11am or 11:30am to 8:30pm; closed Sundays. Service - Service service kiosk. The team seemed friendly. Price - $60 + tip. Reasonably priced for what we got. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1999 and at this location since 2006! I am surprised that my daughter has not taken us here before...? read more

Customer service and food was amazing! I appreciated the fact that we could order from a kiosk and be able to customize our order. We both ordered Pad Thai at different spice levels and Cream Cheese Wontons that were so good we didn't even have time to take a picture. Can't wait to go back! read more

Fresh rolls - packed full of veggies, good texture, and nice peanut sauce. I wish there was a bit more mint/herb flavor in the roll. Panay curry - nice portion, we got medium spicy but it wasn't spicy at all. Tom kha - again loved that this was packed with veg. Cabbage, carrots, and mushrooms. Lacked a bit of the intense tanginess I was looking for but perfectly tasty and great on a cold day. read more

Thai Boat - Yellow Curry & Pad Thai (ig: @cravingswithcat) - Thai Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

This is the second time I picked up order and they again disappointed me terribly. Its a waste of money and time to get food from Thai Boat. The cook is horrible, no taste concept. I ordered Paad seeu and there was nothing in the plate other than a bunch or sweet sauce, some boiled chicken and a few noodles. Its my worse Paad seeu ever in 60 years. Another plate was stir fried Vegetables, you can not put it in your mouth, Its revolting, disguisting. The cook does not know "C" of cooking. read more

Food and service were awesome! Definitely will be back. Fast, courteous service, good menu and everything tasted really good!

The food here was great! I used to work in a Thai restaurant I got the chicken satay and the Penang curry. I was very satisfied with the texture and sauces with the chicken satay and the curry was very creamy and flavorful...could use more spices. Overall everything was great and food came out very fast read more

Thai Boat - Chicken Sa Tay Pa Nang Curry - Thai Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

Really fast service. It's a self service place. Place order at a screen & have a seat. The food was a little sweet. Ordered wonton soup. It had tons of veggies but had a sweetness to it. I thought i was imagining it. But they when the pad see ew came out, it was definitely sweet. Plus the noodle dish seemed overcooked. People seem to like this place. I probably won't come back. read more

Delicious food, "Hot" spicy should be labeled "mild". I have nothing else to say regarding it, filling character limit. read more

I like a more traditional, authentic Thai restaurant but this was more of a fast food version of Thai. They didn't have sticky rice, the fried springs rolls seemed to be frozen store bought, and the sweet chili sauce was sub-par. The Tom Yum soup was okay, fresh veggies and the shrimp was good, but was served luke warm. The service was prompt and the staff very polite but unfortunately, this place is not for me. read more

Thai Boat - Fried spring rolls and Tom Yum soup (16oz) - Thai Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

I forgot to take a picture so forgive me.... 19$ for a plate of pad Thai. I'd give the food a 5/10 by itself however what really got me was that I was given a half plate of pad Thai and the other half covered in bean sprouts. I suppose this would be acceptable if bean sprouts had the same value per ounce as gold however last I checked this is not the case. I will be skipping the gym today due to the intense workout my jaw received while powering through the completely overcooked pork I was given with my food. I left hungry disappointed and sad. Luckily this is San Luis Obispo and there are plenty of trees to hug in order to soothe my sadness. read more

Thai Boat used to be one of my college staples when I attended CPSLO. I arguably thought it was the best Thai place I've ever had, and that's a high regard coming from LA. However, I recently revisited and didn't think the same. We ordered the pad see ew with beef, tom yum soup, and red curry. I remembered the pad see ew was perfectly charred and the noodles soft, chewy, and bouncy. This most recent visit was nothing but that. The pad see ew noodles were too saucy and sweet. The tom yum soup wasn't flavorful enough and lacked the tartness and spice. It also consisted of 90% vegetable, not enough soup. The only one we kind of enjoyed was the red curry saved by the coconut milk. The quality of food makes me question if there's been a change in ownership. Still, the customer service was as friendly as I remembered so it gets a 2 1/2 star rating from me. read more

Absolutely delicious food. Delivery was fast and convenient. The food was hot. The spicy dishes were great, not overly spicy.

The food was plentiful and great! We ordered takeout, so cannot comment on ambiance. Service was excellent as usual.

The beast Thai food I ever had! The staff are so nice and friendly. Food came out fast. I will definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend ! read more

Thai Boat - Pad Thai 32 oz. Shrimp Wonton Soup - Thai Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

I used to be a somewhat regular customer, but I have found that the quality, quantity and value of the food has dramatically changed over time. My most recent experience, I ordered pad Thai w tofu. the base price was 14.99 plus 2.50 for tofu, it was bland, small portion, no ground peanuts. it just seemed not fresh, like it been made earlier and reheated. I also ordered pineapple curry w chicken. the pineapple was canned ring pineapple cut up, the baby corn was also canned. The curry tasted okay, but pretty bland. I ordered medium spicy, it was mild. for the price, also close to $18, I was very disappointed. there are too many other better options for Thai food now in SLO, to be paying too much money for poor quality. read more

Thai Boat - Thai Fried Rice and Pumpkin Curry - Thai Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

The locals say this is the best Thai food in SLO and I can understand why. You order on a computer and can really dive into allergy restrictions, additions, and subtractions for your dishes. For example, you can choose not to have sugar in the sauce which is a neat option you don't see often. I ordered the chicken egg rolls and the pad see ew. Egg rolls were nothing to write home about and wouldn't order again, but the pad see ew with beef I would definitely order again if I'm in town visiting. Service was very fast for how busy it was. read more

**** garlic lover and Thai food , then this is the perfect spot*** If you're a fan of garlic and Thai food, this place is a must-try! The garlic noodles here are absolutely the best I've ever had--perfectly garlicky, savory, and packed with flavor. Paired with the green curry, which is just as flavorful and delicious, it's a combo you won't want to miss. And let's not forget about the pineapple fried rice--such a delightful dish! The balance of sweet and savory flavors makes it an amazing side to any meal. Prices are fair for the quality of food you're getting, and the portion sizes. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving authentic, tasty Thai dishes! read more

Picked up food for lunch; Yellow curry with chicken and Pad see ew with chicken. Both dishes were decent, yellow curry was better. White rice with curry was very small. For the price portions could have been better!! read more

We were hoping for a great meal, 4.5 stars for Thai. Unfortunately we were disappointed. Stingy on the sauces so our noodles were dry and stuck together. Food was ready quick and the person who answered the phone was just as nice in person. Great customer service! I think if we try Thai Boat again we will eat there. Maybe the take out isn't the way to go. read more

Honestly one of the best Thai-food places I've ever had and this is coming from Vegas. The portions are a bit smaller for my liking but we were full after and able to finish everything with no leftovers, which is a good change of pace. The server in the front was very kind and the cooks in the back are actually from Thailand, which makes sense as to why the food is so damn good lol place is a bit small and you can easily mis it but with the coming of new residents in the areas, this is quickly becoming a hot spot for locals! Highly recommend read more

Thai Boat - Tom Yom soup with a side of rice. So good! - Thai Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

We asked to have our take-order ready a half hour after we called. I think they ignored that and cooked it straight away because when we picked it up, the food was cold. The restaurant was basically empty when we arrived, so why would it be so hard to get it right? They also skimped on the rice, which was very unsatisfying. It's not like rice is terribly expensive and I'm sure they buy it in 20 pound bags, so why were they so cheap with it? It was all very disappointing. read more

Ordered the pad Thai, green curry, and the Thai noodle soup. Everything was sooo delicious and better than any recent Thai food I've had. For three dishes, it was $50 not including tip. The pad Thai had the perfect balance of sweetness and saltiness. The only thing that was missing was some like and peanuts, but regardless the flavor was there. Green curry had chicken, basil, carrot and bamboo shoots. It wasn't marked as spicy on the website, but it did have a slight kick to it. I also like that they didn't charge extra for rice. The Thai noodle soup came with rice noodle and had a nice tangly taste to it. Love that it was sweet and sour. I would definitely come back if I was ever in the area. read more

We stopped by this small establishment for dinner the other day. I'm not sure if the restaurant is owned by Thai people but their dishes were so tasty and seemed authentic! We ordered the Pad See Ew and Pad Thai and both dishes were very flavorful and cooked to perfection! This restaurant was a pleasant surprise Yelp find as I'm not from the area and had never heard of the restaurant. But it was the perfect place for us to grab our meal. We will definitely come back the next time we are in town!. read more

I stopped by earlier today due to their stellar reviews and was not disappointed. Ordering at the kiosk was very straightforward, and my food was ready in no time, even though four people had ordered ahead of me. The cashier/server was efficient, and the portion was big and heavy (YESSSS!) I ordered the spicy fried rice with tofu, veggies, fried egg, and pineapple, and it was delicious. I chose a 5 out of 10 for spiciness, and I'm glad I didn't follow my impulse of going for the 10. A 5 was perfect, and I will be back when I'm in SLO again. Overall a solid choice for yummy Thai food. read more

Remarkably good Thai food. Located in a strip mall shopping center this place was a real find. It is simple to order online and to pick up the order. I had a seafood noodle dish and it was absolutely delicious, chocked full of succulent and well-prepared seafood. The noodles and sauce were great together. Also got a Pad Thai which was equally delicious and the ingredients were fresh and tasty. Rounded out the meal with a salad, also very fresh. The portions were very good. Arriving to pick up the takeout order there's a wire rack right near the entry with the bags to to with names and order items on each. So easy! read more
