Really good food, special mention of their chrispy veg spring rolls and chicken satay. Spicy basil fried rice goes well with green curry and panag curry. Only thing I disliked was their Thai tea which is extremely sweet. Service is quick and ambience is casual. read more

Thai Grata is a nice little neighborhood gem we happened to stumble upon when heading elsewhere for lunch, and we are certainly glad we did! Menu looked good so we detoured to dine here. Located in a strip mall kitty-corner to the Oakridge Mall, it is a spacious restaurant with ample seating and comfortable vibe. Because it's in a strip mall, there is a good amount of parking. The service is quick and friendly, making it a great spot for a relaxed meal. The food was a hit: Panang Curry: Very good flavor with a decent amount of meat, though it would have been a nice touch if it included a little potato to marinade in that sauce. The Whole Fish Special: We ordered a whole fish dish served in a sweet and spicy sauce. The fish was perfectly prepared, and the balance of sweetness and heat in the sauce was excellent. In Thai culinary culture, serving a fish whole with the head and tail intact is symbolic of prosperity and good fortune. I know some people think it's weird but just try it! read more

This place has been a staple in our community for many years. My wife and I used to come here frequently and I'm glad to see that everything looks the same and business is doing well! We haven't had Thai food in awhile so we decided to come here for lunch. They have a nice lunch menu available at a reasonably fair price. All the lunch items come with soup and rice (rice does not come with their dinner entrees - you have to order that separately) We decided to order the Thai basil chicken, panang curry and papaya salad - all mild spicy level. We decided to order the dinner size because we were very hungry. The Thai basil chicken was absolutely delicious. Very flavorful and had the perfect amount of sautéed vegetables to help balance out the strong flavors. The portion size was acceptable. The panang curry was my favorite. Love the mix of the peanut flavors and the coconut milk. The curry thickness was perfect - not too thick, not too watered down. This went perfectly over a bed of rice. The papaya salad was fresh with a good assortment of different vegetables. Perfect amount to share for 2-3 people. It was also good to see the same staff that's still here over the years! Def recommend checking this place out for lunch/dinner! read more

Met the family here for early Father's Day dinner. The service was friendly and quick. Decorations and ambiance felt very cultural. The food came out fast and looked very appealing. All the food was delicious. Roti was yummy especially the sweet curry sauce. It was a hit with the family. Crispy spring rolls were also tasty especially the dipping sauce. Papaya salad was a favorite of my mom. She especially enjoyed the tangy sauce. It was her first time trying it and enjoyed it a lot. The main dishes were very delicious and savory. Pineapple fried rice & Pad Thai tasted authentic. Panang Curry had a little kick to it but also very tasty. The kids all enjoyed the meal. It was a great experience. read more

Thai Grata is located in the Santa Teresa Main Street Shopping Center. The parking is plentiful in this large plaza. The restaurant is cozy though it can accommodate several parties of 6-12. I only got a Thai Ice Coffee, which was delicious and creamy. I'll be back to try their food. read more

One of my favorite spots for Thai food in SJ! I've tried a number of dishes here and particularly love the pad see ew, basil fried rice, yellow curry, spicy catfish, and papaya salad. Medium spice level definitely has a kick to it and is a good level for me without being overpowering. Quality and quantity of food you receive is well worth the price in my opinion, and the service is always quick and attentive when I've dined in here. Restaurant is cozy and quiet, I always have an enjoyable meal here. read more

My friend has been suggesting this place with others over the years but finally got to go today. Had their papaya salad. Two people had lunch place and both of them loved the chicken and rice plate. I got tom kha and loved it. I got the hot version and it was really hot. The staff tried to warn me while ordering. The service was really good and it seemed like everyone there was a repeat customer. The restaurant is clean and spacious read more

Thai Grata has been in business for decades in this Blossom Hill plaza. There's plenty of parking and the restaurant is easily accessible. Every time I've stopped by, the restaurant has had a steady flow of customers. A waitlist on a clipboard is available for longer wait times. The restaurant is dimly lit for ambiance, but always clean. The Pad Thai noodles had a great texture and a balanced taste of sweet, salty, and sour. Peanuts and bean sprouts were placed on the side. The chicken in the Thai Fried Rice held its own flavor in the thai fried rice. There was a substantial amount of rice, egg, chicken, and tomatoes. Overall, a good place for thai food that is appropriately priced for its size! read more

This was my first time at this restaurant and it was quite enjoyable! The restaurant has a nice calm vibe and is dimly lit. Parking was easy to find and it wasn't busy on a tuesday at 5pm. We got the tom kha soup which was very flavorful and delicious on a cold day. We also tried the thai prawn salad which was fresh and the shrimp were seasoned nicely. The pad thai was my favorite, it had a nice flavor and the crushed peanuts were on the side so you could add them to every bite! For dessert we wanted the mango sticky rice, but they said the mangoes were out of season so instead they offered us sticky rice with fried bananas which was pretty good! read more

Needed to look for a restaurant in the Blossom Hill area and decided on Thai Grata. It's located in a strip mall and parking is not an issue. The decor is simple but comfortable and cozy. The two of us ordered family style and shared a Roti with curry sauce, a small Tom Kha Soup with chicken, Spicy Crispy Catfish, Chilli Seafood, and Green Curry Chicken. We ordered everything medium spicy. And of course we had to get the Thai Ice Tea and Sweet Sticky Rice with Mango for dessert. Food came out rather quickly, with the appetizer Roti first and then the soup and then the dishes. The Roti was not what I was expecting, a bit thick and doughy. Everything else was quite delicious. The chilli seafood came with a good variety of seafood and was very tasty. Thai Ice Tea was very good and so was the Sweet Sticky Rice with Mango. Portions were great and prices were reasonable. We had plenty of leftovers. Service was on point. This is a solid option for Thai food. read more

Thai Grata is one of our Go To spots to eat. It has never disappointed us. The location is great, as there is always parking. The restaurant is clean and simple in decor. The star is their food. Everything that we have eaten there is delicious! We usually clean our plates, and if we don't, the leftovers are gone the following day! The service is great. Servers are friendly and welcoming. Sometimes on the way out, we'd wave at the chefs. Awesome eatery! read more

Got Pad Thai w/ Tofu, red curry w/ chicken, and rice. I think that this is the definition of middle of the road American thai food. Their Pad Thai was ketchupy and if you like that, then great. I think that Thai food can have much better depth of flavor but this was not bad at all. Their red curry had bell peppers, chicken, bamboo and I thought it was pretty good. Great level of spice and would come eat it again if I was here. I think that there are just much better thai restaurants than this one that it becomes overshadowed. read more

Wasn't sure what to expect walking in since it was my first time but was pretty happy with how it went, staff were all super polite and patient with us even when we took a while to decide what to order and you could tell they weren't just going through the motions, there was a good balance between checking on us and letting us enjoy our meal, and the food was honestly just really good, like not mind blowing but really solid and comforting, everything tasted fresh and was cooked just right, not too salty or greasy, just good flavors done simple, we tried a few different things and each had its own little twist without being weird or out of place, the kind of food you'd go back for without needing a big reason, and the way the staff carried themselves made it feel like a place you could come to anytime and not feel out of place. read more

Our party of four was really wowed by the food at Thai Grata. Everything is served "family style", so dishes to share. We ordered Pad Thai, Pad See Ew and Spicy Eggplant. It was nice that we had the option to choose our level of spiciness, so we ordered the Spicy Eggplant "mild". One member of our party has a variety of food allergies, but the staff patiently answered all questions and were very accommodating, and made the Pad Thai with gluten free soy sauce for us. All three dishes were fantastic! All four of us thought everything was delicious, and my companions tend to be pretty particular. The restaurant is in a strip mall, and with so many glass windows, I was constantly aware that I was in a strip mall. Pretty casual atmosphere. The ceiling is pretty high, so when it got more crowded, it was much louder than I would've liked, but the food is totally worth that inconvenience. read more

Stopped by last night since we were in the mood for Thai. This is our go to Thai place. Kids loved the chicken skewers and roti appetizers. I always like the soups here. I think I can eat an entire large bowl by myself. Tom Kai or Tom Yum soups are so flavorful and good here. We also always get the green curry. The staff is friendly and attentive to our needs. Normally it is relatively quiet so you can have a nice conversation with your family '/friends. read more

Nice and clean with friendly staff. They were on top of things without being annoying. Chairs weren't great but the place was calm and tidy. I'd return for sure, just maybe not at peak hours. read more

It had been a considerable amount of time since I last ate at Thai Grata, before a couple nights ago, and I was hoping my memory of it being good was accurate. . It was accurate. . When looking at the menu I noticed a note/disclaimer about the spice level. (Medium/hot/Thai hot) Sometimes it's hard to know what you're getting into because different restaurants/chefs can have a wide range of what they consider "spicy". I opted for the regular hot level this time, but have been known to order Thai hot on occasion... I know what I'm getting into! On this menu (the one in restaurant and not the screen shots from the website) it lists the heat levels as having 1/2TB 1TB & 2TB worth of their added chili. Based on my regular hot, I could only imagine the Thai hot here is accurate and satisfying (if you're wanting the heat) . Now the food was good, as I remembered, so that was nice. Seated facing Blossom Hill we were able to watch some event taking place in the Tower Records parking lot. (Yes I know TR is gone, but that's always going to be the name of that lot... sorry BevMo!) Back to the event: Nice cars, food vendors, music playing.... seemed fun. So dinner and a show! Win win! . Lastly, if everything else wasn't pleasing then I would maybe dock a star from this review because of the end of night cleanup routine. I understand people want to clean up and leave quickly, but we weren't done eating and there were still 4 other parties in there. I don't know about the others, but we were pretty surprised about the strong smell of cleaning solution that came from the restrooms. Pretty unpleasant, but an easily fixed situation by just waiting a little longer. read more

One of my favorite Thai spots in the South Bay. The flavor and portions are great. Service is always very quick also. I always came here during my lunch break and opted for one of their lunch specials which comes with complimentary soup. Some of my favorites: pad Thai, pad kee Mao, papaya salad. read more

Food taste and quality are always the best. I almost always get takeout. Table service was fine.

My first visit @ Thai Grata was for an impromptu lunch with my fam. With our party consisting of 5 [one being a toddler], getting seated was quick and easy. High chairs were readily available and thanks to my sister's timing we barely missed the lunch rush. Lunch consisted of: -Roti [pan fried roti served with sweet yellow curry] -Prawn Pad See Ew [pan fried fat rice noodles with prawn, egg, broccoli, with sweet soy sauce] -Prawn Pad Thai [rice noodles with egg, green onion, bean sprouts, peanuts, tofu, & prawns] -Seafood Pad See Ew -Seafood Basil Fried Rice [fried rice with basil, bell peppers, onions, assorted seafood & chilis] -Chili Seafood [stir fry with prawns, calamari, mussels, scallops, & fish] Food took quite a bit of time to come out and the first item was the roti. While the yellow curry was tasty, the actually roti was overly saturated in oil and the oil seemed old. Noodles were cooked well and flavors weren't lacking one bit. Seafood tasted good and the portions were generous. Heat level requested hit the spot completely when it came to our order. Know that a little goes a long way here when it comes to Thai|Lao intake of all things HOT. Medium spice gave off a decent kick- enough to satisfy me yet manageable for those who can't handle too much. Upon request, the employee brought out additional chili for those who wanted more. 4 stars overall. Food was really good aside from the roti. Customer service wasn't attentive but it worked. read more

Thai Grata was probably the fastest service I've ever had at any sit down restaurant. The food quality was beyond exceptional, and piping hot! Extremely delicious and the portion sizes are plentiful. I ordered the Pad Thai with Chicken and my husband ordered Pad Se Yu. My dish was definitely in the top 3 that I've ever had, while my husband said he enjoyed it but wasn't his favorite. Still tasty and well worth the visit! read more

Good tasty food! Quick service! Perfect attention. Every time we go this restaurant we experience fresh food.

Service is incredible. Everyone always has a huge friendly smile on their faces and my water cup was never empty. The food was amazing, they were able to make a cat fish Penang curry specially for us. It was the first time I have ever tried fish with Penang curry and I looove it. The chicken Radna was so good my son had to tell the server he loved it (he's never done that before). The potack soup was delicious! We asked for extra catfish and they were able to accommodate. The BBQ pork was tasty that the kids loved them too. Papaya salad I feel like was too small for the order, but maybe that's because there were 5 adults eating it lol and I wanted more! medium is pretty spicy already btw. Overall I highly recommend this spot! definitely coming back for more. read more

Passed by Thai Grata many times but always forgot about it. As there's not many good Thai restaurants in our neighborhood, decided to give it a try. Called in a beef Panang curry with rice and calamari Pad Thai. The food was ready when I came and the portions weren't as small as I read. The calamari pad Thai was really tasty, though the noodles were pretty clumped together. The beef Panang curry had a great flavor and would get medium heat next time. Overall the best Thai food I've had so far in this area and would be back. read more

Decent Thai food, typical menu options, and good service. Prices are a bit high and portions vary depending on the dish. This wouldn't be my first choice but if I'm in the area and am craving Thai food, it's not a bad option. - Roti: Yum! Buuut the curry came out warm and the fried roti was already a bit cold and not as crispy. It was also too oily. Overall, still tasty. - Papaya Salad: I got the Lao version and when that's available as an option, I know it's already off to a good start. The salad was tasty but the portion was pretty small. It only looked like a fair amount because it was on a pile of lettuce. - Pad Thai: Not bad at all! I got pork and they used a super lean cut which was a bit dry. Tastes best with dried chili flakes cause spice is always nice! I would order this again. read more

Yummy Thai food! Whenever I'm craving Thai food this is one of my favorite location to order from since it's so close to home. Discovered this place pre-pandemic and I continue to come here to support during covid. Great service and great food! We love their curry and the spice level is on point! If you're not a fan of spicy, then definitely get mild. I have tried the medium, hot, and thai hot spice level -- and it's hot! I usually stick with medium level but there are times when I want it hot. I remember dining in and kept asking for water refill. Lol! Yellow curry is my favorite. I think I have tried all their meat - chicken, beef, pork, and tofu and it's all delicious! Whenever we order curry, we always order some kind of fried rice. I especially love their basil fried rice cause it's spicy, but their pineapple fried rice is just as good too! Super quick service. Never had to wait too long when I dined in or whenever I order to-go. I definitely recommend calling in your order ahead of time. Parking lot is shared with Lucky and some other businesses, but it's never that hard to find a parking space. If you like spicy Thai food then come here :) read more

Thai Grata is one of my favorite restaurants to visit in south San Jose. The customer service tends to be on point and the staff is generally friendly. Their Thai tea is a must. The menu offers a lot to choose from and tbh there's nothing I have had that I didn't like. Some of my favorite items are the sour tom yum soup with mushrooms, pineapple fried rice, the whole fish (Pampano) and believe it or not the steamed version of this fish is really tasty. The bathrooms need a bit of love other than that the supplies are always available. Check the restaurant hours before visiting as they close a portion of the day. There's plenty of parking spots available. read more

A friend recommended trying out Thai Grata. I like Thai food and have tried a number of different places in the area. Have now had it twice, both times I ordered online for pickup asap. On each occasion the food was ready when I arrived, and was still hot when I got home. Have tried the pumpkin curry, green curry, Thai fried rice and sweet & sour. I have tried several protein options; chicken, tofu, pork and shrimp. I've enjoyed everything I've tried. I like that you can pick your spice level. I did try the Thai hot for one dish and found it to be initially very hot and then very enjoyable. I thought it was pricey at first, but realize everything is costing more these days. I've found the portions to be good, and easily got two meals out of each order. read more
