My review gonna be pretty glowing, but I wanna say that if you're driving an electric car, this location does offer 8 Level 2 charging stations (Tesla). Convenient if your Tesla owner or if you have the proper adapters. I did not test charging on my Subaru Solterra so might need to check PlugShare app. Now, for the Thai food Colon this place has a great lunch menu and it's only $14, comes with a fried tofu snack and then option of white rice or Pad Thai which is unheard of. Pad Thai does have egg in it but I did a rare deviation from my vegan diet and ate the Pad Thai after picking out the visible hunk of egg. But at least it was vegetarian I had the ginger stirfry but ask them to make it hot like they're drunken noodle. boy did they oblige me. Service is excellent and we were never left alone for long. This is my favorite spot in Truckee read more

Had a good to-go dinner. Lots of variety and everything tasted fresh. The standout dishes were the basil fried rice, tempura vegetables, and chicken skewers. A great alternative to the many pizza and brewpub establishments. read more

This is our go to Thai spot in the area. Consistently good quality, fast service, fair pricing. Food is tasty, freshly made, and the lunch deals are unbeatable. Ambiance is cozy and casual, with some traditional Thai decor. Parking is easy. read more

Thai Delicacy - Red curry lunch special - Thai Near Me - Truckee, California

Attentive and friendly . I was seated immediately and wasn't rushed to place my order. My server was attentive enough to note that I didn't care for fried foods , so she did not recommend any. Instead she allowed me more time to pick alternative dishes. The veggie yellow curry was aromatic and flavorful . Also ordered the papaya salad. Overall , I enjoyed that it was not overly pricey and did not feel touristy. read more

Dishes were so good! The spicy Thai basil with pork and cashew chicken is what were ordered. My husband got the tempura shrimp appetizer and loved it (10 pcs) so better to share. read more

I had the most wonderful experience at this restaurant. The spring rolls are the best I've ever had! They were so fresh and the sauce was amazing. We then had the pad-see-ew and sticky mango rice for desert. I highly recommend that sticky rice I cannot stop talking about how wonderful it was. To top it off, I left my purse at the restaurant and our waiter ran out of the restaurant to find me and give me my purse. Amazing food and amazing staff. I loved it so much I can't wait to go tomorrow! 10/10 read more

Food is very good here. The shrimp salad was delicious! Loved to pumpkin curry. Brown rice option is extra. Noodles were also tasty. Menu has many options read more

Food was great. Authentic, according to my Thai wife. Started with fish cakes, beef salad, followed by followed by glass noodle with cabbage and egg. I had the Mussaman curry and Tom Kha Goonng (coconut soup with shrimp). Very filling and had to take some of it home. read more

This is the best Thai food in the Sierras. No doubt. Please ignore the "Karens" complaining about their service being slow. This is Truckee. Most businesses are short staffed. Local business owners have to do magic here to keep their doors open since demand fluctuates so much. Despite of all the challenges of keeping a business afloat in a small, seasonal economy like Truckee, the ladies at Thai Delicacy do an amazing job at always serving food that is great quality, great taste and very consistent. I eat here once a week and never have been disappointed. read more

I hate to give it such a low score because the food itself was decent. The yellow curry looked a bit watery but the taste was very flavorful, and the pad kee mao noodles were a bit mushy but had great taste. It was the experience that really brings down the review. Nobody was mean or anything, but the service was just so slow. It took over 2 hours for everyone to get their food, and they still forgot one person's dish that we decided to just take it off and leave without it (he cooked food at home afterward). What was frustrating was seeing them be so backed up with in person dining orders and yet still taking takeout orders, which I imagine were also behind but seemed to more priority over people at the physical restaurant waiting. It sucked to figure out that we could have had our food much faster if we had just ordered takeout instead of trying to have a nice dining experience. I definitely feel like the restaurant capacity and resources could be managed better, and I hate to say I will probably never go in person again. read more

Not sure why this restaurant has only 3.7 stars! I imagine because the food is more Thai authentic to which americans are not accustomed to. More accustomed to sweeter Thai food for the american palate from your run of the mill Thai restaurant. Thai Delicacy is the real deal according to me and my Thai wife who in her own right is an excellent Thai cook in the Northern style. A little out of the way from downtown Truckee but easy to find and in a quiet area well worth it. Real Thai service and real Thai chef. If you want Thai spicy just tell them. The Papaya Salad ( Som Tom) is authentic. All of the dishes are real Thai!!! read more

I have never written a bad review on yelp before but this restaurant made me break the ice.The only reason this place gets one star is because it's the only way I can write a review. Me and my girlfriend came here, i took 2 sips of water with lemon and immediately needed to use the restroom then we had to leave IMMEDIATELY. He was throwing up, dry heaving, and running a fever before we made it the 10 minutes drive home. The service was also pretty bad and the food was not great. The pad Thai tasted strange and the ginger lover didn't have much flavor. DO NOT drink the water if they gave you a lemon in it no matter how skimpy the lemon is, don't let it fool you, on my momma the lemons are dangerous!!!! read more

First time here. We had Green curry w/veggies, sweet basil rice with chicken and Pad Thai with chicken. All dishes were delicious.

Best spring rolls ever, nice variety. Fresh food and friendly service. I recommend this place highly.

Food MIGHT be good, I didn't eat there due to my "20 minute" DoorDash wait being drawn out 1 1/2 hours before I cancelled. They had an issue in the kitchen that caused everyone's orders to be severely delayed. At risk of sounding like a Karen, they should have either shut down or atleast stopped taking DoorDash orders. Feel bad for the people that are still waiting. RIP read more

I wish i knew about this hidden gem sooner. Their Tom Kha Seafood hits the spot! I'm also in love with their papaya salad and curries. I recommend you stop here while visiting Northstar Ski Resort. Their prices are low and their food quality is up top. Great for dates or family dinners. read more

Consistent Thai with nice owners and big menu. Closed for the month of November 2025. Will reopen December 1st.

Disclosures first: we visited during a holiday week after a heavy snow, so our experience may not be representative. Came here as a party of 5 (three young children and two adults), arriving 5:30 on a Monday. It wasn't busy when we arrived, and we were seated immediately. The server took our order within 5 minutes. After a 45 minute wait, our food came out one dish at a time spread out over the next 45 minutes. When our last dish came out around 7, it was the wrong item. The server was apologetic (she gave us a discount without us saying a word), and the food was ok (apart from being cold from sitting out), but be warned before coming here if you think it might be busy; if they are overwhelmed, you can expect an epically bad service experience. read more

Delicious food. I ordered lamb curry and it was delicious, but not as spicy as I expected. The service was quick and attentive. Ambiance is typical for the neighbourhood. read more

Shout out to Thai Delicacy for large group take out. Two summers in a row I've called to order for a group of 15 plus for dinner. For this size order I call them at 5 with plenty of time before a 630 pick up. Both times the food is ready and securely packaged (no one wants yellow curry on their floor mats) and piping hot. Quality is excellent and not just by Lake Tahoe standards. And great variety. We had sate, eggplant with shrimp, pad Thai, papaya salad, beef with garden vegetables, chicken yellow curry and salmon with spinach. All awesome. We've also eaten in, and the space is nice with friendly service. read more

Thai Delicacy - Thai Near Me - Truckee, California

If I could give Thai Delicacy zero stars, I would. This was, without exaggeration, the most infuriating restaurant experience I've ever had. We ordered takeout and were told it would be ready in 30 minutes. That was a lie. Nearly THREE HOURS later, after being repeatedly strung along with "just 15 more minutes" or "just two more dishes," we finally got our food. Meanwhile, we watched multiple other customers dine in, eat, and leave before our takeout order was even acknowledged. And the food? Calling it "Thai food" is an insult to the entire cuisine. The rice was a soggy, unappetizing mess, the noodles were congealed into a sticky clump, and absolutely nothing had any flavor. My dead dog could have cooked a better meal blindfolded. Thai Delicacy didn't just serve bad food--they served a total disregard for their customers' time, money, and expectations. Save yourself the agony and order from literally anywhere else. This place isn't worth a second of your life. read more

I personally enjoy Thai Delicacy. Their food is consistently good and take out orders are very fast. The restaurant could probably use a bit of tlc in terms of the furnishings, but that doesn't affect the food. The spring/summer rolls are my favorite and their peanut sauce is spot on. Now I've seen some people complain about the wait staff. Yes, the regular woman is typically straight faced and no nonsense but she's also very efficient. That said, a few months ago I saw something that has made me a patron for life. A man came in, looking a little worse for wear, a touch dirty, and if I'm being honest, I he probably was living in his car. He came in asking, very shyly, if there had been any abandoned orders that had not been picked up. The hostess/waitress said, "wait do you need food?" When he said he was just a little hungry but only has a couple of dollars, she promptly ran to the kitchen. She made him a full take out box of food and got him a huge cup full of water. She apologized she didn't have more but it was busy. She told him to come back the next day for more if he needed it I mean, I was the ONLY person who saw this exchange. And I was so floored with how warm and kind this server was to someone who definitely needed support. Food 4 stars, heart of the workers, 1000 stars. read more

Delicious Food. Super nice staff. Walk in the door and they know what I order and who I am

We came in on a Friday night just shortly after they opened in the evening and they were busy! Lots of to-go orders and tables getting filled up quickly. There was only 1 person doing everything and she rocked it. It speaks to how you can do or die by 1 great staff vs. a whole group of incompetent people. We got golden rolls, tom yum soup, basil noodles, and curry fried rice. We got our entrees spicy and they came through! Usually places don't make it nearly spicy enough. Both plates were so flavorful; we devoured it. Appetizer and soup were great too. So glad we found this place tucked away in a plaza. We'll be back on our next trip to Truckee. read more

What a great spot this was to have dinner after a long day of snowboarding. My friend and I were craving Thai food and decided to check this place out. It opens at 5 pm for dinner and when we walked in, there was already a customer seated. Little did we know, the place was about to be filled up pretty quickly. There was plenty to choose from on the menu. We decided to share the pad thai with beef and a yellow chicken curry which comes with a bowl of rice. The pad Thai was darker in color than usual, but tasted on point. A little sweet and a little salty -- the perfect combination. There were plenty of beef slices throughout the dish which was a plus! The yellow chicken curry was very tasty with plenty of potato, carrots, and chicken pieces. It was fitting for the cold weather. There was only one woman working who played multiple roles -- she worked the cash register, took orders, delivered dishes, you name it. Shout out to her as she was working real hard, while remaining kind and professional! read more

i love the yellow curry from this place. it is absolutely delicious!! the staff are the best, always super friendly !

Really hate to give a small business a bad review but over an hour wait for a chicken pad thai is unacceptable. They need to hire more people if it's going to be that slow. The pad thai was not that good either...it was sour. read more

Love it. Wonderful place. Great food eat here The chef was super nice as well I would go back again read more

Crab rangoons are to die for! For whatever reason, this seems to be the only Thai place I've been to so far in my life that knows how to make them right. I was up in North Lake Tahoe for one night and looked up Thai food and Thai Delicacy had popped up as the closest Thai restaurant. I had called to make sure their hours reflected what was showing on their Yelp page since I've run into issues where other restaurants are showing the incorrect business hours. Not only were their hours correct but the food quality and service were on point. The portions were pretty big especially with the Chicken Pad Thai. My only regret was not ordering more of those perfect and pillowy crab rangoons. Oh well, next time I'm in the area visiting the slopes, I'll make sure to stop by to get an order or two for myself. read more

Worst experience ever! Don't bother trying this place. The service is below below negative. The food is not worth it. DON'T waste your time coming here. We waited forever before we even got served. And they have got to get better hygiene to this place. Dirty tables and food. read more

One of the best thai food places in Truckee/Tahoe area. We ordered drunken noodles, Panang curry comes with rice and ended with vanilla ice-cream! The place is small and difficult to get tables for large group. Overall, highly recommend to try this place for tasty food with perfect spice level. read more

Best Thai food I've had in years. Great flavor and still warm when we got it home. They take excellent care to package it well. If you like Thai food, you'll love this place. read more

Go here if you want to wait for 90 minutes, eat mediocre food, and then have the waiter tell you that you're lying about how long you waited for. For more detail, our party of 6 arrived at 7:30 PM on a Saturday night. Luckily, there was no wait and a party of 6 left as we opened the door. It took 20 minutes for us to be seated, another 45 minutes to receive our first dish, and another 20 minutes to receive our last dish (which was brought out without any meat the first time). To be clear - the restaurant was NOT full. But in the 1:30 we waited upon arrival, we watched well over a dozen takeout orders leave the restaurant. It's not acceptable for a restaurant to prioritize takeout over customers sitting in their establishment, and if the kitchen is backloaded on takeout orders, then this should be communicated. It should be mentioned that the food was also very mediocre, even for an area that admittedly has few options. Small portions of meat & the pad see ew was so overcooked that it felt like we were eating paste. And when we complained about how long we had been waiting for, the waitress told us, "I don't think so" 2x. Not 1 apology the entire night. read more

Thai delicacy is one of my favorite restaurants in Truckee. The food has always been very good from soup to curry. We love the food here. It's always busy but it's great. Food in Truckee is challenging to find good places .. go to thai delicacy. read more

VEGAN review: They have vegan options here!! I was kind of surprised, but their menu seems relatively vegan-friendly. I got the Pad Thai which I thought was good! The portion size was great and the dish was tasty. It seemed like the woman on the phone was well-versed in what vegan meant when we placed the order, so that made me feel more confident in eating here. Really awesome to find an omnivore restaurant with vegan dishes in this area! read more

Ate here today with my family. Even though we were cutting it close with their closing time before lunch, they were willing to let us order and we enjoyed a lunch special each. We did call ahead and let them know about the timing, so it wasn't like we just showed up and expected them to stay open and make us food. They seemed to do it out of the kindness of their hearts :) We had the yellow curry tofu with brown rice, salad and curry puff. Everything was delicious, but the kindness in the service was the best. And they didn't even know it was my birthday trip read more

Thai Delicacy - Yellow curry tofu w brown rice (lunch special) & pad see lew tofu (all delicious!) - Thai Near Me - Truckee, California

This place deserves a much higher rating. I would give it five stars. Our waitress was prompt and attentive . I ordered the yellow curry and requested cashews and avocado and it was only $3 for each of those additions . My friend ordered the paid Thai and loved it. She especially liked how you can add your own spices to it. My boyfriend ordered the chicken teriyaki and our other friend ordered the garlic chicken. They both ate all of it and didn't even speak as they ate and said it was delicious. After a long day on the mountain in this just what we needed. So hungry I forgot to take a photo before we started eating. Will absolutely be coming back every time we ski in town. Thank you Thai Delicacy ! Also... sticky rice and ice cream FIRE read more

Thai Delicacy - Thai Near Me - Truckee, California

Stopped in today for the lunch special. I've had the same thing several times before here and it's generally really good. I ordered the chicken curry pop with pad thai as my side. The chicken curry pop was great, good flavor and spice. I think this is my 10th time ordering it! The pad Thai this time was only so-so, it's usually much better so you'll have to try it out for yourself. It's a small place with just a cook and server, as it was lunch there was a bit of a wait but we eventually got seated and the food came out very quickly. If you're looking for Thai in Truckee give this place a go. read more

Best Thai in town. Great deal on their lunch special! On weekends they tend to get busy with walk-ins and take out so be patient.
