The food is delicious and authentic. Their Angel Wings and Sticky Rice With Mango topped with Coconut Cream is awesome. They are very friendly and polite. The place is small but very comfortable. They do a lot of pick up and delivery. I came all the way from San Francisco but it was worth the drive. You can easily get there too using Sam Trans from Daly City Bart. read more

Very Disappointing Portion for the Price I rarely write negative reviews, but this experience was disappointing enough that I feel I have to share it. I only ordered the catfish curry, and honestly, I was shocked by the portion size compared with the price. The amount of food was extremely small and, in my opinion, not worth what I paid, $17.50 not include tax Please see the pictures and judge for yourself. I understand that prices have gone up, but the portion should still feel reasonable for the price being charged. I hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously because customers deserve better value for their money. read more

It's been awhile since I've come over so I went on yelp to review the menu and confirm hours of operation. Ordered through this yelp platform and headed to the restaurant right at the scheduled time to pick up only to find that the order was never sent through and that they don't take orders through this yelp platform. Why have this option on your listing if it's not available? The people at the restaurant didn't seem to care about my $85 but just asked me if I wanted to place another order... like wait. What? You want me to be out $190 for lunch? How about you try to help your customer? Maybe "hey, call customer service and can we get you a glass of water?" Or "I'm sorry this happened, we need to make sure we update that and that this doesn't happen again...". Food is excellent but damn, customer service just took a major poop. 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

The food didn't meet my expectations (I've tried it twice now) and the wait was long with no other costumer before me.

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

Just not the same anymore. My go to spot since 91, from LA to the Bay Area. Throughout the years , quality slowly declined. Food just doesn't compare to before. Hardly any flavor and smaller portions . The quality is not there anymore. Sorry guys read more

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

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

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

Their food was good and filling. Recently the portions are smaller and the quality of the food has gone down. They are "cash only" which forces you to use their ATM on site to withdraw cash and pay a fee. They missed my cucumber salad in my spareribs dinner. 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

The restaurant is not sit down just Take Out Only & CASH ONLY. Taking foodies home we will see if the food is delicious as It was back in the Days read more

Food consistently tastes great! Service is always very professional whenever I order!

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

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

We been coming to this place since they were located in Callan blvd. Great food. My favorite is the chicken bbq!

This is the closest Thai place in the fairmont neighborhood and it's a purely takeout location. It's definitely no frills and not the best Thai food but definitely solid! anytime I'm craving a large portion this is the perfect place. It's also very quick! It will continue to be my local take out spot. read more

My favorite thing out of everything my team ordered was the pad Thai. I couldn't stop eating it. The mango sticky rice was good but I wish it had the coconut milk/ cream to pour on top. read more

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

Been eating at this restaurant since 2008 when they were in the Westborough area.

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

Thai Original BBQ - The store front, no dine in as reported on Yelp. - Thai Near Me - Pacifica, California

Pretty good food! Pad thai was good. I will try other items on the menu next time. Friendly service as well.

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

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
