I am glad I found them again after they closed their old location. In my opinion, this is the best Thai restaurant in the Bay Area, offering high-quality food at reasonable prices. The staff is always courteous, and the restaurant is clean and inviting. Our go-to orders are the Thai BBQ ribs and the Pad Thai, both of which are delicious. They only accept cash, unless you order from Door Dash. read more

I'm surprised at all the high reviews since this is a local type of restaurant in a neighborhood plaza. The place is tiny, only has 2 tables placed very close together. I don't even think they have bathrooms for use. The service was very nice and dishes came out fairly quickly. I would say the portions are pretty small for the price: Crispy chicken $15.95 -this one made me wonder if I ordered an appetizer by mistake. While it was tasty, there were only 9 pieces of chicken! That's probably one large chicken thigh! No way it should be $15.95 S-2 BBQ rib dinner $17.50 -probably the best dish out of everything, the rice takes up most of the plate though. Ribs were tasty but there isn't that much meat on each one Papaya Salad $15.50 -this one was a little too drenched in sauce, which made it too sour for my liking. I would've rather they left the sauce on the side I was still hungry after the meal so portions are definitely small. I might be back because I'm curious about the $20.95 Gulf of Siam: shrimps, scallops, squids, mussels and sole fillet, stir-fried with chili paste sauce, onion, green onion and tomatoes read more

Super excited to finally find a flavorful pad Thai here !! Sweetest employees and service too

I thought this Thai Original BBQ would be the same as the Cerritos location but they seem different. This location is cash only and there are only 2 tables for dine in. We opted to dine in because we wanted to eat right away. The staff are extremely nice and friendly. read more

I have always wanted to try this place and today I did! I ordered Phad Thai noodles with chicken only and green curry for to go. I did not want to eat at the restaurant as they were getting ready to close for the night. I was hoping this place would be delicious and it was! The Phad Thai noodles were not dry at all. The flavors were authentic and the noddle were saucey to my liking! The curry was flavorful as well and not too spicy. I would highly recommend this place because the food is good and the prices are affordable! The restaurant was clean as well! There is good value in the portion sizes! I did not finish my noodles so there are left overs for the next day! If you are ever in the Pacifica area close to Serramonte mall please check out this local business and show them some love! The only thing I did not like was the CASH ONLY payments! read more

I haven't been to Thai Original BBQ since it was located on Gellert before the Mercedes dealership took over that strip mall. I remember the food being good, solid home-cooking. I decided to pick-up dinner recently and called in my order. It's important to note that they no longer accept credit cards. It's a cash-only establishment. The person who took my phone order was kind enough to let me know they beforehand so I made sure I had enough cash. The restaurant is takeout only. There aren't even tables set-up for dine-in. I ordered a pad Thai, a bbq chicken with shrimp fried rice and a curry catfish. The pad Thai is a 8/10. I like that it came with large shrimps and crushed peanuts on the side. Hubby really enjoyed the bbq chicken and fried rice. He gives it an 8/10. The catfish came deep fried with a side of red curry sauce. The batter was crispy but the fish hit the mark and was really bland without the curry sauce. This is a 5/10 for me, something I wouldn't order again. Overall a good choice that's nearby for me when craving Thai food. Total for three items came out to $51. read more

I ordered mango and sticky rice, the rice was so hard, it looks like premade and in the refrigerator. Wasted my money for $12.00. Even the lunch special of bbq chicken and bbq pork spare ribs are not even worth buying. End part of the pork are dried up and the chicken was also dried. I used to love this place, not anymore. Whoever is the manager, you need to do quality check on your food that you are serving. If I can rate 0 I would. This place is cash only read more

First time ordering take out from this place. The food was good, tasty, but the portions for ala carte orders were small. Ridiculously small for a charge of $15-$20-plus!!! I'm not expecting a small mom and pop to give out Kam-size portions (Kam's is an old school place on Balboa for the OGs who know what I'm talking about) but the portion for a curry dish was small. Like 2-3 cups of food. For $16.50 it was half size of a full round plastic take out container. That's the container you get when order soup from a Chinese restaurant. If there are fans of this place out there, I have to be real. Money is scarce these days, especially when you want to enjoy a special meal with your family with what little you have. Maybe we should have ate at the restaurant? Portions were small. My Thai go-to places are White Elephant and King of Thai in the city. To the restaurant just reviewed: take notes. Peace. read more

So bad Thai spring rolls are disgusting! Old oil has been used,, I could tell... Other dishes we ordered were garlic chicken. It was cold. Jade curry was better but just ok. I am not certainly going back to this restaurant. Zero star! read more

This place is to go only. No place to eat there. Food was ready in 15 minutes. It was hot, tasty and good. Ordered Chicken Ruby, short ribs and papaya salad. They all tasted good to me! I would go again. The poultry was really a Cornish hen stuffed with rice and other stuff and the whole thing was fried. It was good. We cut it up at home. It also came with a good scoop of tomato rice. Papaya shrimp salad was good. The short ribs were nicely marinated and deep fried. Tender inside and crispy outside. They have a large menu and I enjoyed my meal and I would go back. Fast, friendly and tasty food read more

Food was good and reasonable prices BUT tofu in the pai thai was old and over cooked/fried too much.

We dined with them all the time when they were in South SF. They have really good food and staff. Their current location doesn't have room for dine in. We've ordered from them a few times. Beware, though, and they are fairly up front about this: if you order directly from them over the phone, they are CASH ONLY. I'm not sure if this applies if you order in person. They are available on the usual food ordering platforms, so you can use a credit card. read more

First time and last time I will visit this place. Lunch special was 19+, that's a special. I should have gone to the taqueria, I would have gotten more food. I ordered the pepper steak. It was dry and tasteless. The steak was old. read more

Mediocre Thai food lacking the traditional spices you would get at a "normal" Thai restaurant. Chicken was dry, shrimp was old. You can tell that they recycle the old cooked food. To Go only, cash only lol. The kitchen looks super sketchy. read more

The best Crab Fried Rice ever!!!!!! From now on I will order from this shop. Just the crab fried rice has an unforgettable taste. I also ordered Tom Yum literally on last minute before they closed, I expect they will rush it and it will not taste good. But I WAS WRONG. Even though the tom yum was made last minute. The food is soooooo delicious!!' Spicy and soury taste, you can taste all the flavor!!!!! And they are very generous in giving prawns!!! Prawns are big, lots and lots of mushrooms and tomatoes!!!! Literally Tom Yum will heal you. I love this store!!!!! read more

Food is always delicious and the portions are generous! Drunken fried rice or drunken vegetables are my favorites here. Also their daily special is always really good! read more

Thai Original BBQ - Drunken fried rice with beef - Thai Near Me - Pacifica, California

Please note- this rating is strictly about the food and customer service. Funny story: we drove all the way here for dinner, party of 7. Only to find out they no longer have dine in. I've suggested they please update their info here on Yelp. I've been eating food from this franchise since the 90's, and their flavors have never changed. On this night we were happy to order our faves: S-2 BBQ Ribs with Shrimp fried rice BBQ CHICKEN Dinner Sa-Te Dinner - beef When the person taking orders heard me say we were planning on eating here and we were surprised they didn't have tables, she was kind enough to expedite our orders (we all saved the food for lunch the next day- and it WAS STILL SOOOO GOOD!!). Please be sure to support this business. They're really great. And you will not be disappointed. read more

I have been eating here for over a decade. Their original store was in South City, but they had to move since the strip mall they were at was going to be the new Mercedes lot. My go to S-1 which is the house Thai BBQ Chicken and Shrimp fried rice has been consistently delicious throughout the years. Juicy chicken, great flavor has never disappointed me through the years. Pad thai also a hit! Another must try is their angel wings which is boneless chicken wings so good! The portions are big, perfect for sharing. Reasonable prices. Comparable to restaurants I've eaten in Bangkok! They've been dependable through the years! 4 stars! read more

With a new location comes a new sense of energy and a truer form of Thai food. This place has come around from my previous visit a few years ago and I'm happy to have given it another try. There are so many delicious meals that they have re-invented here. One of my personal favorites is the Pad Thai and the Sweet Angel stuffed chicken. If your order from their house special menu. You can get a specialty item like the chicken, fish trout etc. and a side of fried rice, it's usually shrimp or chicken. Another portion of the menu showcases their many Curry options. My favorites are the: yellow, red and Panang curry. Exploring Thai BBQ's menus is an adventure of Asia and it's fascinating spices and home grown flavors. I love the new location (in the Fairmont Shopping Center in Pacifica) and the favorites on their menu. The customer service has vastly improved and so has the food. I encourage others to comeback and support this Restuarant, especially during this pandemic. read more

New go to place if I'm near Skyline Blvd. Combo soup filled with meats, vegetables and nice savory broth. Chicken coconut soup was generous with chicken and mushrooms, coconut broth was nicely balanced with lemongrass, lime, kefir leaves and a touch of heat. Beef salad was also tasty but a bit soggy. No dine in at this time and sometimes difficult to call in an order because they're so busy to pick up. Used Yelp to order with easy process. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area. read more

Great tasting food now at the new spot at the Fairmont Center in Pacifica. Yummy dishes of Spicy Beef Salad, Panang Curry w/Beef, & Wings of Angel (stuffed, boneless chicken wings). Good portions, reasonable prices & packed w/flavor. Thinking this will be one of my new go-to places! Note: Call ahead. She said 15-20 minutes and it was ready in 10! Fast service is appreciated when I'm hungry! read more
