Meh food. No flavor. Seems like egg is in everything. Trout is terrible for the price.

My mom and I were excited to come try this spot together we always see it and pass by it and finally got to try it, and when we arrived we realized there was no indoor seating. Kinda sucked but My fault for not checking on that. We ordered chicken satay, garlic chicken, chicken fried rice, and broccoli beef. I'm trying to give the place the benefit of the doubt, but I have had MUCH better Thai food at other places before :( food disappointed my mom and I, the broccoli beef had no flavor. The garlic chicken wasn't good either taste wise and the fried rice was like moist and sticky, unlike other places. Chicken satay was okay lacked flavor as well but it was the "best" thing we tasted from what we ordered. Overall, I'd go to my other go to's for Thai food, and would not pick up food from here again. The person who took our order was sweet though and our food was ready very quickly, so at least there was that. read more

Very tempted to give 1 star because of one of the dishes but to be objective, the other dishes were okay. Private parking lot. Came in on a Sunday night around 7, not busy. Ordered take-out to go. ** Drunken Noodles -3 stars- I asked for chicken and although the lady confirmed chicken with me verbally, she gave me pork. Not a big deal for me since I usually get either one but if you care, you may want to triple check with her. I believe this is their Pad Kee Mow since that's what it says on my receipt but they make theirs with mint and broccoli and no basil. Not sure which one is authentic but it tastes okay, oily like expected though. The weird part is that the noodles sit on top of pieces of lettuce. ** Jade Curry (aka Green Curry) -ZERO stars- No, this is not a typo. How do you rate something that has no flavor? The curry looks like your average green curry but besides being a tiny bit spicy, there is absolutely no flavor at all. I could not believe it. Might as well be eating veggies and pork submerged in water and oil. I see pictures of yellow curry on this yelp page but no mention of the jade curry, I am wondering if I ordered the wrong thing. But to what degree can a restaurant that is open for business neglect the taste of a dish that you put on your menu for customers to order? Mindblown, this dish made me so upset. Coconut Milk Sticky Rice w/ Mango -3.5 stars- this was pretty tasty, I wished the sticky rice was a little more chewy (make sure to eat it while warm) but it was soaked up with the yummy sweet coconut/condensed milk. The mango slices were sweet, tart and a bit bitter on the edge pieces. In conclusion, maybe I am not ordering their popular dishes but no dish on the menu should be this bad. Unforgivable. If you decide to come here, please opt out of the Jade Curry. read more

I decided to take a chance after getting a menu in the mail. I ordered according to their popular items. To my surprise the order was done in 10 MINUTES, I knew then it would be wack. I even asked the lady at counter how they made my order that fast. She just shrugged it off. It was pretty decent size order, Drunken noodles which was very bland not spicy like it stated. Paanag curry (GrubHub only had chicken option which I stated in my notes beef instead) since they had beef option on their paper menu but still gave me chicken. The curry was really watered down coconut sauce with bland chicken, such a disappointment. Chicken sate was pretty good and so was the Garlic short ribs the portion could have been a little better. My go to Thai takeout will always be Shine Thai. Their food is hands down the best Thai food in town much tastier and healthy compared to this. read more

Tons of seating on a Monday night, with lots of people calling for take out. I really wanted fried calimari but friend wanted bbq short ribs, so I caved. To my delight they have fried calimari rings! And they are delicious and fun to dip into their sweet sauce. They're fresh and hot when they arrived. The pad Sew ew was alright, nothing spectacular. The egg that night tasted a bit off to me. Then I found old rice stuck on the bottom of the spoon. read more

My go-to for pad-see-eww. Haven't had much else here. Food is solid, not overly oily and well flavored but nothing super stand out or inventive. They have two salt water fishtanks that are fun for the kids to look at. Dark restaurant inside. read more

Thai Original BBQ - Phad See-Ew with beef - Thai Near Me - Pacifica, California

THEY ARE OPEN AGAIN!!!! I have been anxiously waiting for them to open in their new spot and was worried as it's been a couple months. I googled "Thai BBQ Pacifica" and it came up with a phone number so I tried my luck and VOILA! Best surprise ever!!! I was so happy to hear a familiar voice answer that I almost forgot what I wanted to order! Today just so happened to be their first day open in their new location. They are in the Fairmont shopping center on Hickey Blvd next to the Starbucks. Go in and support! They're food is really SOOOO good!!! read more

Super low prices for lunch specials as nothing over $8! Generous portions however the fried rice tasted a bit fishy and weird to me and I would have preferred plain jasmine rice. I ordered a Thai iced coffee which I like a little less sweet cuz when you add the condensed milk it becomes MORE sweet! From the lunch specials menu - my go to green curry was not listed, duh, it's a Thai BBQ place so just go with the flow and order the many different BBQ to choose from! I was torn between the pork ribs and grilled satay. What won me over was the peanut sauce and pickled cucumber salad that came with the satay! Yum! It was delicious as I got six skewers of perfectly tender deliciously marinated beef with crispy carmelized ends! It was so good! The peanut sauce was a perfect dipping companion and if I had the right kind of rice - you know that sauce would be dumped on top of it. And the cucumber salad with bits of red onion punched in gave the veggies a pop of tart vinegar for brightness! For this price I will definitely be back to eat my way through the menu! read more

Thai Original BBQ - Thai Near Me - Pacifica, California

Always good food. Service is great. Friendly staff. Location is not bad. Plenty of parking. Overall convenient.

The food and prices are decent as many others have noted. The staffs are traditional Thai people which is rare in the bay area since most of the Thai shops are actually Chinese owned. The dishes aren't really traditional Thai dishes that you will find in Thailand. They have their own unique twist to it. The portion size aren't that great which is why the 3 stars and food quality is kind of bland compared to other Thai shops. I do like their Pad Thai. Decent portion and a good amount of sweetness. The ribs are overrated and the stuffed wings were really bland. I would stick with their noodle dishes only. read more

One of my favorite thai food in DC. No complaints with the food. But I went there to get a quick lunch.. next thing I see is a cockroach on the wall. Til this gets fixed, I'm just gonna pass my thai cravings. read more

I always order here for Takeout. They're usually quick and always get my orders right. Thank you for your fast service and delicious food!! Don't forget to tip them! Will always order from Thai BBQ! read more

I've been going here for more than a decade. It hasn't changed much, and this is good. You get a good hearty meal for a decent price, especially if you go here for lunch on a weekday. Weekday specials are $9, and their portion sizes are pretty generous. I highly recommend the beef satay. It comes with a few beef skewers with this delicious peanut sauce that I think is homemade. Also included are a sweet cucumber/onion salad, and a giant portion of shrimp fried rice. Good stuff. The rice itself isn't always the hottest (I assume it's from a huge vat), but it's still pretty damn good for what you pay. I'd recommend getting takeout, as they're usually very fast. The food does keep pretty well in the fridge even overnight, and you can make it a good temperature microwaved (vs in the restaurant where it might not be hot enough). read more

For the most part, this place is pretty good! Their noodle dishes and other entree's have great flavor, I recommend going for those! Their curries are okay, they don't have much in them as far as vegetable to meat ratio but the flavor is still there. An example is their Hawaiian curry: flavor was so good but it came with like 8 shrimps and half the container filled of pineapple for like $12-$13 bucks. I'd still recommend going to try them out though! Service is nice and other dishes are delicious. read more

I've been going here as a kid, so as best I can I don't want to be seen as biased. When I was a kid, this used to be my go-to Thai spot for my family - always great food, never a wait, but also busy. We have 2 must orders - BBQ Chicken and Dearest Crab with a side order of their special rice on the side. Since then, this place has been a little run down - paint fading, dirty tables, and rips in the cushion masked with tape. It doesn't get that busy, the nice servers have all left, and the food can sometimes be inconsistent. BUT we do still come back for BBQ Chicken and Dearest Crab, and while it's not the greatest restaurant to sit down and enjoy a meal at. These two things are still always very enjoyable. If you go here, get these two things! IG: @dearfood.ily read more

First time ordering food from the Thai Original BBQ restaurant in Pacifica. We ordered $112 worth of food. Here's my ratings. Very disappointed with their bbq ribs lunch specials & their bbq garlic short ribs. It was the nastiest ribs I've ever had. The short ribs were small, crispy stringy meat that I couldn't even eat. Way too tough. It was like jerky. I felt like it was leftover from the day before, retried it and sold it to me. Won't be ordering that again! Stay away from their bbq meats. You'll be disappointed. I sure was. If I could have given a zero rating, I would have. Also ordered shrimp chow mein. I'll give the chow mein 3 stars. Mostly veggies, hardly any noodles. I also ordered the chicken satay lunch special & the Thai pad ew with beef. I give it a 4 star rating. They were both pretty good. Hope this helps the next consumer. read more

Overall, one of the best Thai restaurants in town. These are my favorite dishes. We were seated quickly, got our orders quickly as well. I really enjoy the Thai food from this restaurant. read more

Not super spicy at first, but the spice gives you an inner glow that feels really great. Noodle dishes and pork and chicken all delicious.

Your meat, veges are small portions & rice is terrible poor quality. Pls add authentic thai eggplant. Please get it together. I would hate to look for another thai food place whose more passionate about their cooking versus just making $. Thanks. read more

Mama and I were too lazy to go home and cook our own food. We were in the Daly City area and decided to check out the food joints around Gellert Blvd, but didn't want Filipino food (HA! a couple of Filipinos NOT wanting Filipino food!!!) That's how we ended up at Thai BBQ. I always order Tom Yum Goong whenever I go to a Thai restaurant. This one was a tad too salty for my taste and could've been more spicier. Skip the Thai salad -- it's just iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and steamed chicken. It also had a weird mayo/vinegar dressing. (Tastes like Thousand Island dressing but much sweeter) We also tried their BBQ chicken rice plate, which tastes exactly like rotisserie chicken from Costco! (it's a compliment! I love the rotisserie chicken at costco!) except this has grill marks on them. The dishes here are moderately priced which is a plus in my book. read more

I don't normally post reviews, but after my experience here I had to... I came here with my boyfriend and our daughter around 9:20 for a late dinner, but as soon as we walked in to get seated they told us they had already closed for the night. However, the hours of operation on yelp and on their outside sign clearly said 11am to 10pm. Long story short, they ended up seating us after asking if we could get take out, and telling us that if we eat there we need to be fast. The waitress handed us our menus and not even 5seconds after asked what we wanted to order. We waited a little under 5minutes for our chicken satay, fried rice and pad Thai, which was rushed, cold and was a half ass job. They handed us the bill two bites into our food and demanded we sign our bill so they could close the registers. We ended up leaving before the other people eating there before us. Very upset with this place. I'm glad my daughter threw rice all over the floor. read more

First time here at Thai Original BBQ! Although, I just came by to order a Pad See Ew togo and 1 Thai Ice Tea togo, I thought the experience was alright. Parents went to get some Pho next door at Pho The Gioi. To me the Pad See Ew was very sweet in soy sauce like flavor, so it I suppose it was okay, but I've had better. The Thai Ice Tea, boy was it certainly strong in flavor! Pretty good, strong flavor, made it wonderful :) read more

I was introduced to Thai cuisine at this restaurant, which was over a decade ago. Back in those days, I used to come here A LOT. I probably dined here about 1-2x a month. Although, compared to other Thai restaurants I've had over the past decade, I would probably say that this place doesn't taste like authentic Thai, and has a bit of an Americanized twist to it. It has about a dozen other locations, (and growing) so at that rate, traditional flavors start to get compromised. Now, my visits have shortened to about once a year (2 is pushing it but possible). Tonite I had the S-8 House special, which is the Satay Dinner of either Chicken or Beef Skewers (I had a combo of both meats), and Shrimp Fried Rice. (Don't get it twisted w/the Shrimp fried rice, cuz it's actually just fried rice w/2 shrimps for decor.) The beef? Chewy. Like, move over BubbleYum, chewy. And I never learn my lesson because this is one of the dishes I'll order repeatedly. It's a hit or miss, really. Sometimes it's chewy, sometimes it's not. The chicken was fine for this visit, but hate to say it- sometimes it seems undercooked. (ok remind me why I even have this dish on repeat?) Another dish I order here is the S-1, which is the Kai Yang (BBQ chicken) dinner. It comes w/the leg, thigh, and wing of the chicken, and fried rice. This dish is simple and filling, and would be your best bet if you're not looking for something too unknown. They serve a sweet little cucumber salad w/your meal, which is refreshing when cold. If you order takeout, they'll put a little plastic ramekin of it right on top of your rice, so by the time you take it out, it's like cucumber soup (hot) so, you've been warned. I'll probably keep my visits here to once yearly, in which I'll order the S-1 BBQ chicken dinner. Other than that, if I'm craving Thai Food, I'll go to a more authentic, non-franchise mom and pop Thai restaurant. read more

On my recent visit I ordered the Sate Beef Lunch Special To-Go. I highly anticipated the shrimp fried rice, peanut sauce, and the Sate Beef, but in turn was struck with disappointment. Come to find out, the servings shrunk in size and my satisfaction taste level went from an above average score of 8 to a mere average score of 4. How can this be? My once loved Thai restaurant in the Peninsula has left me in disappointment? Here's a breakdown of what I'm talking about. The skewer, which once was packed 3/4 of the way with meat, is now 1/2 of the entire skewer. It may not sound like a big difference, but when you have 5 skewers and each are 1/4 smaller that's like getting 4 skewers instead of 5. My Math may not be accurate and my estimation is subjective, but I definitely noticed a difference in size. Moving on to the side of shrimp fried rice. There was no sea creature to be found. :( Just rice with a scoop full of peas on top. (which may I add, i dislike) All in all, Thai BBQ just isn't the same.. :( read more

I've been coming here for many years now. Thai BBQ is one of our family dinner destinations. It's probably not the best EVER but it's one of the best in my area, along with White Elephant. They have a pretty descent space (great for big parties); service is quick and friendly; and if you have kids they'll love the fish tank! On every visit we pretty much order the same thing: Pad Thai (love it here); BBQ chicken (good, especially w/ that sauce); Pork spare ribs (YUM!); Panang Curry (best I've had so far); Chicken Broccoli (Good); Shrimp Fried rice (good; better than the crab fried rice); and the Coconut Soup (good). Prices are also great, ESPECIALLY the Lunch Specials!! Prices range from $6.25 to $6.95 Mon through Friday before 3pm. They have a pretty good selection on their lunch menu and most of 'em come w/ Shrimp Fried Rice. Definitely a bang for your buck! read more

The ladies that work here are so nice. The food is great and the it is usually not extremely crowded, so you can get a seat almost immediately. They have an additional room that is great for groups. You can call in and order ahead for pick up or order through Eat24 and order from there. Their crab fried rice is amazing and I love their Pad See Ew. I also like their peanut sauce. Easy, convenient and quick. Try it out! read more

Thai BBQ chicken lunch special is my go-to. Comes with half a chicken: drumstick, wing, thigh, and a breast. All the pieces are juicy and tender except the overcooked breast... which I always leave half eaten. Chicken has a crispy skin that is salty and sweet and comes with a tangy viscous dipping sauce. Orange fried rice is a bonus that taste better than the traditional white rice. All that for under $10. I have gotten other items on the menu like the pork ribs which was flavorful, but have gravitated back to the chicken special. Quiet atmosphere and seating is very comfortable on those leather sofas. If you work around the area and want a quick bite, I recommend coming here for their lunch special. read more

This spot is definitely a hidden gem... Snuggled in between a lot of other businesses and restaurants in this plaza this one stands out the most. We've been coming here for years, even having a few birthday parties in their private room, it's been long overdue for a review. We always order from the "specials menu". They have the meals lined up in numerical order. A popular is the S1 and S8. These specials come with really good rice. They give a lot of it too. All the specials come with this magical rice, lettuce, and a few sliced cucumbers on the side. The food overall is really good. Lots of flavor but not salty. The decor isn't much to speak avoid but it's all kept up well and is clean. Most seats are booths and there are a few tables on the side. No matter where you sit though the food always comes out fresh, tasty, and I can gurantee you'll leave full snd satisfied. read more

I really enjoyed this place (ok maybe it was the company hehe) but aside 80% of the menu being fried, it was not bad ;) I had some of their Pad Thai, the wings of angels, a lime & ginger plate, and the curry shrimp....the dessert was decent (fried bananas) but honestly Manora's takes the cake for me when it comes to Thai food. I would have loved to have found a new Thai spot close to my boys place, but this just aint it :( I may repeat, but only per request. They do have a killer saltwater tank set up which was really cool. :) read more

Covid services are top notched. I'll be honest, was super sad when i thought they closed. But when i found them on Yelp again while looking for Thai restaurant in south city, came in clutch! Portion to price are always excellent and services is quick. You can go in and pick up and pay. Simple. I recommend their specials, especially the sate chicken/beef (i always ask for a mix), you can definitely get two meals out of one order! read more

YUMMMMMM! :) I LOVE thai food & I really enjoy this place. I've come here many times & never get disappointed. It's located in a plaza, so parking is really really convenient. S-1 (or L-1 if it's lunchtime) Kai Yang (BBQ Chicken) Dinner - My go-to dish! It's DELICIOUS!! It's $9.25 for dinner (slightly cheaper on the lunch menu). It comes w/ 2 good-sized breasts & 2 small wings or drumsticks. Coupled w/ the shrimp friend rice, it's AMAZINGG!! You definitely get a ton of rice too. I sometimes don't like eating rice by itself, but this rice is TOO GOOD! Also, it's comes w/ this sweet sauce. You HAVE to dip the chicken (& shrimp too) in the sauce. It makes it that much more SCRUMPTIOUS!! Most of the time, I only eat half of it & take the rest home. Don't forget to ask for sauce in a container! They won't give it to you if you don't ask for it. Definitely tastes just as good as leftovers :) I've also tried a couple other things... S-8 Sate Dinner - If I feel like changing up my food, this dish is next on my list. I usually get half chicken & half beef just to get best of both worlds, haha. Of course, it comes with their delicious shrimp fried rice. The peanut dipping sauce for the chicken/beef is really yummy too. & also, it comes with slices up cucumbers that are SOOOOO GOOOD! I can't get enough of them. Phad See Ew - Very yummy :) Definitely appetizing. Thai Iced Tea - Kinda ironic, but I tend to order mines w/o ice so that I get more of the actual drink. It's really good though :) Fried Banana served w/ Ice Cream - Definitely good, but you could totally make this yourself. There's 2 rooms of seating, so getting a seat usually isn't any trouble. The service is really good too. They're really nice & attentive if you need something. I definitely recommend this place! :) read more

Thai original BBQ chicken is always deliver. The foods are all good. No need to go to Las Angeles to have a great Thai food

I can't tell you how many times Ive eaten at the Las Vegas locations of Thai Original BBQ and have always loved their amazing BBQ chicken (to see previous review click link http://alturl.com/fcbqv ). Apparently all locations aren't created equal. Something just seemed amiss with our experience here. Don't get me wrong, the service was pleasant and efficient, the food just didn't taste awesome. Drunken Noodles with Beef - While the dish overall tasted good the noodles were so overcooked they were literally falling apart. The beauty behind this dish are the bouncy slick noodles and without those, well it's just stir fry. S1 - This is the house special BBQ chicken combination that comes with fried rice. To start the chicken was kind of on the dry side and not particularly flavorful. Even their awesome sauce couldn't really bring the flavors and textures of the Vegas locations taste. The chicken skin was kind of slimy and lacked the little burnt bits that bring so much flavor. Very disappointing. The shrimps in the fried rice were pretty fishy tasting though those flavors didn't come off in the rice itself, only when you were eating the shrimp. The rice however was light, fluffy, moist and flavorful. It was as exactly how I remembered it. Trust me, dump some of their awesome sauce all over the rice and you have a meal in itself. On a side note the shopping center where TOB is located also houses several other Asian options (saw Korean and Vietnamese places). If Im in the area again I think I might go again just to make sure. Or maybe Ill be better off just visiting another location on my next trip to Vegas. Who knows, but I sure miss that tasty BBQ chicken. read more

OH MY GOD! I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! Even tho I had already eaten Thai food this week, I couldn't pass my chance to try it at this place for comparison. And this place is reaaaaaalllly reallllly gooood. And trust me, I've eaten at many Thai restaurants. Ordered the S1 special--which was fried rice w/ shrimp and BBQ chicken. YUMMMY, the rice was very flavorful and the chicken was really good, very juicy. And of course, had to try their Pad Thai. Yummmmm, very very moist (that's what she said)! HAHAH. =) But best combination... FRIED RICE + PAD THAI = DROOLS!!! =) I really thought this was an independent restaurant, but I guess it's a chain since there's one in LA. Hmm, who knew. But something to look forward to if I'm ever in LA area =) Oh yeah, they have a really cool fish tank!!! Love the puffer fish!!! Hahah, that was my entertainment for the night. Definitely coming back again.. and again. read more

Can we just talk about their Thai Traditional Meatball Noodle Soup! It's super amazing. The aroma, the broth is so beautifully made, the type of herbs and spices they use is just magical. I literally crave this soup almost every other week and it never disappoints! The mint chicken is also very very yummy! The fried rice is also really good. Very fresh + you don't get that full feeling it's more of a satisfied not sluggish feeling. I really love this food! The staff is super nice as well! Thanks for making the best soup right now read more

Came here for my pad thai craving yesterday. I live close by so I was really hoping that it would be my go-to thai-craving restaurant and what can I say...I'm a fan! Called to pick up my order and it was ready after 10 minutes. Order came out to $11.45. One thing that I have to say though....when I opened the box, something didn't smell right. Kind of smelled like the shrimp wasn't fresh and started to go bad? I ate it anyways (ha...) and it was fine though. read more

If I could give 0 stars. My husband and I just ordered Red ruby curry and chicken bbq for the takeout. They packed Chicken bbq in to-go box but red curry in a to- go plastic bowl and a side of rice in separate paper box.On being asked for plates and utensils they mentioned they didn't have it. Now in time of covid when every restaurant and eatery is putting plates/utensils this restaurant doesn't have it. Okay no issues. So we asked Of We can have a togo box so that we can use that to eat our food. They said they charge 60 cents. Mind it We already paid nice tip while paying for the food still they ask for 60 cents. We still said its fine we can pay. Now they can't take card for 60 cents and need cash/coon. Wtf. Horrible service. How do they expect people to eat ? So If you ordering food and don't have your own utensils/plates think before you order. On food side. It was too sweet, both the dishes. Red curry tasted more sweet than a dessert. Total wastage of money. read more
