I don't understand why this place has less stars than some other Thai restaurants in the area that I've tried. Thai kitchen is consistent in their quality flavor and execution and service. This time I got to go as I was by myself and didn't want to eat alone in a restaurant. Ordered the food by phone and it was ready within 10 minutes by the time I got there. He walked in and it's not the fanciest place in the world. It's simple but friendly and always courteous service. The green curry chicken was good and flavorful not spicy plenty of chicken, basil and some bell pepper in there as well. read more

TWO DINING MEALS My first encounter with Thai Kitchen was ordering food to be delivered about five years ago. During that time I wasn't able to ate at Thai Kitchen. So I decided to come here to see how the food tastes at the restaurant versus food was the delivered to my home. The first time I ate here was for dinner. I didn't want to order the same food that was delivered. For dinner I ordered the honey BBQ pork and Thai Kitchen fried rice. I'm a firm believer anytime a restaurant has an item with the name of the restaurant that item signifies as a specialty. There was nothing really was special of the fried rice as I've eaten similar fried rice dishes at restaurants. I wouldn't have ordered the fried rice had the name of the restaurant was not on the item. Too much sugar on the meat can result an overly charred dish, but the BBQ honey pork at Thai Kitchen had a slight char with a moist meat. For the price I paid I had a satisfactory meal. My second time eating here was for lunch. I ordered the angel wings lunch plate special. The breading provided the crunchy texture. I liked the filling but couldn't taste the chicken. I slightly like the angel wings than the Thai Kitchen fried rice however not by much. The surprise for my lunch meal was the dessert siamese gems. This dessert is a Thai-style halo-halo. My second favorite dish in the world is halo-halo, which is a Filipino dessert. I wasn't expecting the siamese gems to be better than halo-halo. I wanted to see how different in texture between halo-halo and siamese gems. Whereas halo-halo consists of crushed ice the siamese gems consist of ice cubes. There are more ingredients in halo-halo than the siamese gems. Despite the differences I liked siamese gems at Thai Kitchen. Overall I had decent meals at Thai Kitchen. I'm glad I went there to eat instead of delivery because I know how the food really is at Thai Kitchen. read more

Unfortunately, I can't say I had a great experience here. The food was less than mediocre. The Pad Thai was missing key ingredients like bean sprouts and tofu, and it had no real flavor. The pineapple fried rice was scorched so badly I could smell it as they brought it to the table -- and it tasted like it was made from days-old leftovers. The chicken in every dish was very stringy and strange in texture, unlike anything I've had before. The yellow curry wasn't much better -- it had about two large, undercooked chunks of potato and two giant carrots. All of this somehow came out to just over $100, which felt way overpriced for what we got (maybe the hot tea pushed it over, lol) I don't usually expect much from a mom-and-pop, hole-in-the-wall place -- sometimes those are the best spots -- but this one definitely missed the mark. Even the decor could really use some love. And for being the only people in the restaurant, the service could have been a little better too. Overall, just a disappointing experience, and I won't be going back. read more

Thai Kitchen - The tea! - Thai Near Me - Union City, California

I spent $42 on just three items and left feeling completely ripped off. If you're thinking maybe I ordered large, family-style portions or high-end dishes -- not even close. I ordered a side of rice, curry chicken, and seafood pad thai. That's it. When I picked up my order, I was immediately shocked by how small the bag was. Honestly, I regret not walking out right then. To make matters worse, they didn't list individual item prices on my receipt since I ordered over the phone, and the Yelp menu photos are outdated. Yes, I should've questioned the total, but I figured the portions would be reasonable -- maybe even enough for leftovers. Wrong. As you can see in the photos below, both the rice and curry chicken were ridiculously small -- each container barely the size of my palm. Completely unacceptable for the price they're charging. I only ate the seafood pad thai, and even that was mediocre at best. The best part was the crushed peanuts, and let's be honest, I could buy those myself for a couple of bucks. I will never return to this location, and I sincerely hope they rethink their portion sizes and pricing. Right now, it feels like they're taking advantage of customers. Save your money. read more

Thai Kitchen has been here for literally decades. Decor is traditional Thai with the usual elephant, artifacts and pics. Semi-large seating area. Large parking lot. Offerings: usual Thai menu including lunch specials, specials... Quick service, ordered. Food ready in 10ish min. Sips: hot water. Skipped the usual sweet drinks Bites: pra ram beef lunch special (13.99) -came with a bowl of fresh steamed japanese rice. -had only a few twigs of melted spinach, lotsa broccoli pieces. Many sliced beef semi-tender/chewy. -beef & broccoli had no stirred fried flava, probably blanched in hot water before being mixed with peanut butter sauce in wok a few times -peanut sauce slightly sweet, had no other flavors. 3.5 stars worthy. Expected more flavor, stirred friedness. Food may have traveled well. read more

Haven't been here for years but was in the area and wanted some papaya salad. Inside was nice and clean. It was empty when I got here because I came 10 minutes before they close after lunch. My order was to go so was quick. Service was nice. Papaya salad was little bit pricier than other places I have been to. Papaya salad was ok, it needed more flavor it had more of a sweet taste and needed more lime, I ordered it medium spicy and it had no heat luckily the waitress gave me couple chili powders so I added it in to have some kick. Not a fan of the papaya salad but will come again and try other items. read more

Went in and it was musty and old decor. That's fine... Some of the best food comes from holes in the wall. But food didn't impress. Beef Wild curry. Very water-y, not curry-like. and different taste from usual curries... A certain ingredient mixed in with the bamboo that neither my husband nor I liked. Pearl something dessert... Not as good as Halo halo. Would have rather gotten the Upside down halo halo from Cafe 86 down the street. Chicken yellow curry was good. Lunch special doesn't give you choice of meat which hubby didn't realize in time, and no soup, salad or eggroll. Plus is quantity of the dishes was huge. And service lady was nice. read more

Absolutely delicious. More of a traditional, authentic Thai place than the trendy IG/TikTok restaurants that keep popping up nowadays. Those newer restaurants always have really pretty food, but the taste is often mediocre. If you want to eat based on good marketing, go there. If you want to eat real, homey, authentic family cooking. Come here. read more

The ambiance was superbly Thai. I love it! The seafood tom yum was delicious. The bar b q pork was marvelous. The pad Thai and fried rice combination portions were a good surprise. We are coming back here! Try the food and you will be amazed. Next time, I will not ask for mild spiciness. read more

The server was nice and attentive. I give this place 3 stars bc of the food. Their food was okay and nothing really impressed us or went above our expectations. We got shrimp n chicken pad thai and papaya salad that lacked flavor. I needed to add spices to my liking. The tom kha soup was pretty good but for some reason there was a lot of mushroom. read more

Came here for dinner one night. We weren't planning on having Thai food, but the restaurant we originally wanted to go to was closing so we decided to go here which was within the same strip. We ordered three dishes. We got the Tom yum soup with shrimp. The first thing we noticed was that it had lots of mushrooms, maybe a bit too much when compared with the other ingredients. Taste wise, the soup was good, but would have liked it if they used less mushrooms and used a bit more of different veggies to balance it out. The pineapple fried rice was good. It had large chunks of pineapple in it, and my bf and I both love pineapples so we enjoyed it. Flavour wise, it was also good and had large shrimps in it. The green curry with calamari was a let down. The boyfriend initially ordered the wrong dish as we wanted green curry and not the stir fry, but they were kind enough to make the green curry with calamari for us, as the menu does not offer calamari for green curry, only as the stir fry. It had lots of calamari in it, however, the calamari was super chewy like rubber. It was inedible but the curry itself was good very flavourful. I would avoid calamari and use some other protein instead. Service was friendly, as our server came to check on us a couple times. read more

Thai Kitchen in Union City has been a nice restaurant where my family and co workers have eaten several times.. my company and I have loved the different types of curry( veggies and meat alike). I personally enjoy the Ginger Fish with fresh cooked vegetables , while my husband loves the Yellow Curry in Sautéed veggies ( Napa cabbage, bell peppers, onions,carrots, zuichini- all fresh). Not to mention the accommodating and cheerful Staff/ servers, quiet atmosphere( where you can have undisturbed conversations), come on down, everyone should try this place ! read more

Average thai restaurant, take out service was super slow, i called in to order take out, they said 20 minutes, i waited 45+ minutes. Spicy level can vary from order to order even though they were ordered with the same spicy level. Interior is rundown and dated, there are some quirky thai decorations. read more

Ordered take out , Thai shrimp , pad Thai , ka prao fried rice and fried calamari Fired rice and shrimp was good , pad Thai was ok but the calamari was really under cooked . read more

Food and service are awesome. Staff are friendly and very accommodating. I would recommend this place.

Brother had UberEats credit and wanted to try local spot for lunch (free lunch for me!). Ordered the Yum-ya shrimp salad and ka-prow fried rice with beef. Fried rice looks like mostly rice with soy sauce, beef was bit tough. Yum-ya shrimp salad was better. Overall seemed like standard Thai food. If order via UberEats, there's 30 percent upcharge, so better to call and order direct. read more

Thai Kitchen is one of the most "regularly-solid" thai restaurants in Hayward, located in a cute open parking area, and there's not a lot of restaurants that can claim that!! I've been over more than five times, and every time I am left satisfied, but not WOWed. The pad kee mao, the pad thai, the appetizers, yen taw fo, kaprow fried rice, tom yum soup, are all super solid! We always get the papaya salad as well. Definitely worth a trip to check out some authentic thai flavors in Hayward! read more

**COVID Review** We ordered satay chicken, yellow chicken curry with white rice, pa-nang beef, sweet rice with mango, and thai iced tea!

The satay chicken was good, it was soft and flavorful. The thai iced tea and the mango sticky rice was really sweet, too sweet for me. Overall, the foods were alright, nothing special. read more

This place is a true hole-in-the-wall gem. Not a lot of people know about it unless you're a local, but that's part of the charm. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the food speaks for itself. Always hits the spot & is consistent! I always get the Spicy garlic salmon, gabong, beef skewers, & pineapple rice. Inside could have more rennovations but still soooo good place to eat from! read more

I'm so disappointed to have to write this. This was one of my fav Thai restaurants but after yesterday, I can no longer eat there. I ordered so much food. And this morning woke up with food poisoning. And yes it was from this restaurant as this was the only thing I ate all day as to why I ordered so much food. I have never felt so bad in my life I have horrible stomach pains with nausea and horrible diarrhea I can't even get off the toilet. With horrible sulfur burps that make you want to throw up. I don't know how this happened but seriously restaurants need to be super clean because stuff like this happens. This is not okay i had to suffer through work like this. Although the food is delicious, it might not be the cleanest and it's not worth getting food poisoning so eat at your own risk. read more

My go 2 Thai spot close to home! Family owned through different generations I think, and I'm glad that they made it through the pandemic! We ordered the following: Chicken fried rice - really good and they also add tofu, which I really enjoy! They give you plenty of chicken. Shrimp pad thai - nice and tasty with a good amount of sauce and shrimp! One of the best Pad Thai's out there! BBQ pork - this is a must! Not a lot of fat on the pork and the bbq marinade is delish!!! One of my favorite hole in the walls w/a great staff! Love supporting businesses like theirs! read more

Should have gone here again instead of Sala Thai. 2x a month I work almost 11 hours without a break and I like to get Thai food. It's my family's favorite food and even my late dog used to love getting his favorite chicken satay. It's a quiet restaurant and not many people, but they were open on Monday. Food was good. Just the right amount of spice and taste. I usually order more so hubs and I can bring lunch to work. Should have gone here tonight instead of the other one. Portions are great. Unlike my other place that gives small portions and only 5 small chicken satay, this place gives nice sized with 6 satay skewers. Food tastes fresh and they use a lot of kefir leaves in their soup. I love the taste of kefir, so this is great. Overall, very satisfying. read more

Stopped by Starbread and found this place next door so I decided to try it out. I order the Shrimp Pad See Ew lunch special which totaled up to be $13. It was decently portioned and it tasted pretty good! It was one those restaurants I've always drove by but never got a chance to try, and I'm glad that I finally did. Good place to get your Thai Food craving fix if you live close by. This place is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking available. The waitress was pretty friendly. And the order only took about 10 minutes to complete. They had all the popular Thai food options available. Great local spot that serves decent Thai Food! read more

Great food and quick delivery! Recently tried this place for dinner. They have a lot of options for vegetarian curries. We got the yellow curry along with rice and Pad Kee Mow. We got the noodles in a spicy spice level and they turned out PERFECT! Hot and spicy and full of flavor. The side of rice was enough for the meal and the curry itself was tasty. With additions like celery, basil and vegetables along with tofu, the curry was good enough in portion size for two. The delivery was quick and packed well. Have had a lot of Thai recently and this one was definitely among the too ones. Totally recommend this place. read more

Love it! One of my favorite regular places to eat. My top favorites are their angel wings, the red and yellow curry and the cho chee pompano. Their pad thai and pineapple fried rice are very good standard eats if you never had Thai food before. I never had angel wings before coming here and they are amazing. Yum getting the pompano is definitely a good choice. A whole fried fish, it was very moist and delicious with every bite. Located in a semi busy plaza with other restaurants. Lots of open parking. Customer service is good. It's quick service but not always on you while you eat. Pricing is standard and maybe even on the cheaper side compared to other Thai places. I have been coming here for years and it has never disappointed. read more
