We were in Daly City for a wedding and we were craving some Thai food. Being a franchise I have known so well since the 90's, I knew that there was an OG Thai BBQ in the area. Had my typical S-2 (ribs) and the ribs were nice and tender and fell off the bone, just the way I like'em. Everyone else enjoyed their food too without complaint. They're prob used to a lot of traffic here because our food came out pretty quick(well, it was lunch time) so they were on top of their game. It's in the same plaza as Starbread Bakery so you might as well get some senorita bread while you're here :) Service - A-OK, it took a little while to get our orders taken because we were seated in front of the aquarium, so I think they might have forgotten we were there until I got up and went to the restroom. Food came out pretty quick tho Parking - can get crazy at peak times, esp if there's a lot of people at Starbread read more

Super fast service! I stopped in to order take out and I waited less than 15 minutes. I ordered the S-8 which included 8 Beef BBQ skewers and shrimp fried rice. The BBQ came with a peanut butter sauce that was amazing, I wish I had more! The restaurant is in a strip mall and didn't have the most up to date interior but still had a good amount of seating room. read more

Decided to give it another shot, and portions are still the same. They are small. Look at that drumstick in the photos. read more

Cant believe i have not write a review to thai bbq so here it goes! 5 star review for Thai bbq food.. chicken bbq s1 has been always my fam fave! The sweet sauce and the java rice are really good! We also like the pad see ew and pad thai! Im glad they finally move location because the old location was too outdated and tables are getting really sticky and seats are too dirty and broken.. New place is small though i wonder if its temp and how are they going to handle lots of customer when pandemic ends. read more

Use to love coming here at Westborough but as soon as I moved this place moved too. No longer a dine in restaurant and nestled in Pacifica. Was craving their angel wings and pad see ew. Ordered by phone and when I went there to pick it up I was so surprised. Literally a to go place. Order and pick up. Mind you I still have to drive 45 minutes to get home so I didn't check my food. When I got home, the take out was so little, the portion size was not worth what I was charged. Pretty let down. What happened to everyone during the pandemic. Inflation is high and food is so expensive now. The food was great by all means but the portion was not enough. Hope they will reconsider a dine in again with top service. read more

Straight forward, dependable Thai takeout. The pad see yew is great, as is their chicken larb. Service is always fast and friendly. I wish they were able to get a sit down restaurant again like they had on Gellert. read more

Dish: Kai Yang Dinner (BBQ Chicken) Cost: $10.95 Rating: 3/5 Review: Half of their house special bbq chicken with shrimp fried rice and house sauce. This dish is supposedly what this restaurant is known for but it definitely didn't "wow" me. The fried rice tasted like it was infused with tomato sauce. The bbq chicken was moist but not super tasty. The house sauce tastes like a sweet and sour sauce. Overall, it was ok. Nothing that stood out to me! Came here on a Sunday for lunch and there was no wait. This restaurant is located in a plaza by Westborough so there's ample parking! read more

Thai Original BBQ - Kai S-1 Kai Yang Dinner (BBQ Chicken) - Thai Near Me - Pacifica, California

It's ok for the area. Peninsula doesn't have any good Thai food. I would say their portions aren't really big not sure if Covid has anything to do with it. I ordered a papaya salad pad see ew and Tom khaki soup for $70 read more

This place is absolutely appethaizing. I have been going to this restaurant for years & I have never been disappointed with their service or their food! Here are my go-to's... 1. Thai Iced Tea 2. (Appetizer) Shrimp Rolls 3. Beef Panang (you can ask for extra spicy if you like an extra kick to your curry!) 4. Sweet Angel 5. Garlic Short Ribs (so good, so crunchy!) 6. Beef Phad See-Ew 7. (House Special) S-1 Kai Yang Dinner 8. Chicken Sate 9. (Dessert - SEASONAL) Sticky Rice w/ mango What's great about this place is that they have a room for parties, a fish tank (who doesn't love little fishes), and cheap prices. Come during lunch time for their lunch specials. Such good prices! And if you're worried about parking, there's lots of parking available here! After you eat, go a couple doors down to Bambu - a great boba spot. This is what happens when I'm a thai hard fan of this restaurant.. I'll go on and on! In short: this place is to thai for :) read more

Bought 5 different plates, food tasted ok this time around, I was very disappointed in my dearest crab balls, did not taste the same, my spicy beef salad the flavor was not there, the potion was small. When it was a sit down restaurant food seemed to taste better. I will only return for their sauté beef sticks. read more

This is a really great dinner spot! Although my first experience here was a really bad one, my second (which I Yelped a while back) and third times were both above average in terms of food quality and service. + Servers are friendly and SUPER attentive + Portions are fairly large + They don't overdo the fish sauce like a lot of Thai places do + Chefs are quick. Food always comes out within 15 minutes + Nice variety of noodle, rice, meat, vegetable dishes to choose from = Dinner prices are fair, although not exceptionally low I want to acknowledge the waitress who just stood in the doorway staring at the seated parties. Ever the vigilant sentinel, she didn't talk/text on her phone or chit-chat with the other employees, but instead planted herself in the middle of the floor looking around to satisfy every customer's immediate need. She scurried at light speed to fill everyone's water before it went below a quarter glass. She zipped from the kitchen to the tables and from her post to the door to greet people faster than any server I have seen before. She was like the super heroine of all servers. I wish I brought my "People love me on Yelp" sticker from the last Yelp event so I could have awkwardly but rightfully give it to her. The next time I need my Thai fix I'll come back here for sure. read more

A rediscovery of epic proportions. If memory serves me right, we used to frequent this establishment for years. I have no idea why we forgot this place like we had amnesia but all the good memories are beginning to flood me. A certain Yelper mentioned it was a South San Francisco landmark and she may be right. There's not much to see in South City other than the big sign by Highway 101. A step inside bricks me back in time when I was a young, doting daddy. It still looks the same and it feels like home-coming. They still have the large fish tank by the counter. The interior color is still the same warm tone; almost looks like the color of Thai Tea. You still get treated warmly by the staff as they show you to your table. The menu looks the same and you can't beat the prices. Most of the dish are under $ 10.00 cheap. It may be cheap, but they don't skimp on their portions...very very large portions of epic proportions. It's humongous, gigantic, ginormous, gargantuan...it's a lot of frickin food. I'm a big guy and can devour some serious amount of food, but I'll ask for a dogie bag here and that's sayin something. Oh, and I haven't mentioned the taste yet. It's simply delicious with a capital D: Delightful, Devastating, Dainty, Delectable and Dope. Their name says it all as they specialize in BBQ but their chickens are absolutely gorgeous. All the chickens are stuffed with a combination of shrimp, chicken, pork and clear noodles, served with a sweet and sour cucumber sauce. Order them under their "House Specials" and they come complete with shrimp fried rice. And their shrimps are no shrimp as they could almost pass as prawns. Man, my mouth is salivating while writing this review I might go there for lunch. They also have a pork dish that's deep fried and chopped, served with sweet sauce and a combination of garlic, mint and basil that was similar to chutney. That sauce was simply sublime and the pork reminded me of crispy pata. Now I'm really getting hungry. read more

New location. Replacing Sam's. I was a little bummed out about that, but couldn't help rejoice once I heard Thai BBQ had moved here. Mostly the same menu with several items removed, but same quality. read more

6 months in San Bruno and the search for new nice places to eat is becoming a weekly thing. Thai BBQ being this weeks flavour of choice... The restaurant was easy to find and is of quite a reasonable size. The main part of the restaurant has 4 or 5 booths which were all full so the waitress opened up the second part of the restaurant to seat us. The decor was quite nice with a fish tank with what look like tropical fish in but it was so cold inside, even the waitresses were wearing jackets! The food: Yellow Curry: Were a little surprised (and a bit put off) by the fact it arrived on the bone. It would have been nice to know this beforehand but nonetheless it was good. The meat fell off of the bone. The sauce was ok but wouldn't call it authentic Thai. Sweet & Sour Chicken: Actually a Chinese dish but it was ok.. a bit 'blah' but edible. The sauce wasn't much like the usual sweet & sour but more like Chow Mein. Never had S&S with tomatoes in which was interesting... We also ordered Rice and the portions were big - plenty for 2, we didn't eat it all. Service was very good though - very attentive. My husband ordered Tea and was topped up for him 5 times! This may have partly been down to the temperature of the place though. Good for a quick bite to eat at a fairly cheap price but the food is very average and isn't authentic. For that I would rate them just 2.5 stars but have rounded up to 3. read more

I have so many memories when I think of this place, it's always been my go to spot after school at night time. I love the food here! The Pad Thai and thai tea here is pretty good. I actually really love how they cook their vegetables, they make broccoli taste like it isn't a vegetable ha! For dessert, we tend to get the fried bananas , and as you can imagine with anything fried, it always hits the spot. This place is never busy to the point where there isn't enough seats and the price is fairly reasonable. I only come here at night so I'm not sure how it is earlier in the day but it's the place I go to when I'm craving Thai food. read more

love love love. i've been coming here for years and i always order the cashew tofu no spicy with rice. i even got my boyfriend to try it and he usually doesn't like tofu! it's so flavorful and if i had to pick a last meal it would be this one. called ahead of time and took 15 minutes. thank you ! read more

Ahhhh...we crave for this place so much since moving to Fairfield over 2 years ago, that when we are in the area, we just have to have it. We were so glad to find that even though the SSF/Daly City location closed down, they opened a branch in Pacifica. The usuals: S1 BBQ Chicken for the hubby, always so juicy and tender. S2 BBQ Spare ribs for me, tender with some areas that are too hard to chew, but still acceptable since their portions are generous. The fried rice with shrimp both are served with is also excellent. Pad see ew Chicken--must have for the kids. On cold days, I love to order the clear broth with veggies and chicken, which they serve on a pot with sterno on the table--keeps the soup nice and boiling hot which I love! Throughout the years I have tried their appetizers as well. I must say, Thai BBQ is our go-to thai place, and I wish they had a branch in Fairfield! read more

Amazing , near by my house. Very convenient, great taste, service was great. I recommend to go only, very small place inside. Must try garlic ribs read more

Thai Original BBQ - Forgot to take a picture of the garlic ribs - Thai Near Me - Pacifica, California

The food is always delicious and the staff is always friendly. It's my favorite spot when I'm craving Thai.

We've been going here for years!! And they still act as if they don't recognize us! Whatever! Lol We stick with the BBQ chicken Ala Thai coconut soup, thai bbq pork spare ribs, gulf of Siam which is a seafood dish, pad see ew, and pineapple fried rice. Based on these dishes; portions are good! Food comes out quick too! My recommendation is to eat there! Portions are bigger than take out! As far as service, it's a hit or a miss! Just don't let them pack your leftovers!! They will either drop it or not pack all of it!! read more

I ordered their lunch special I believe it was S7 it was a pepper steak with vegetables.The portion was very disspointing as it was all bellpepper and onions with 4 thinly sliced steak.The steak was so tough and taste like it was from yesterday.I was disappointed cause the last time I ordered here everything was good. read more

I went there for lunch today wow what a let down. Portion of the chicken much smaller. Prices seem to be higher. Why it jumped from 4 star to 2star . The chicken lack the charbroil flavor that made it popular. Hard to justify $14 for pick up food. read more

Long time customer at the original Gellert Location came into the new location only to be disappointed width this disgruntled and rude employee, I highly recommend customer service training otherwise I will be taking my business elsewhere. (See pic attached of the culprit) read more

It used to be a restaurant where you can dine in now only to go. Food was just about right.

I think I found a new Thai spot I can call one of my favorites. When dishes bring me back to my trip to Thailand then they are doing something right! I had... Thai Ice tea- Too Sweet! Chicken satay combination with shrimp fried rice- The chicken was perfectly cooked, so moist and flavorful. The rice had 2 pieces of shrimp, that's it. The rice itself was so flavorful, it's the kind of rice you can just have a big bowl of and eat plain, just like that! Beef Pad See Ew- So good! Big portion! Not too wet and not too dry, not too sweet either. It was perfect. Spicy Papaya Salad- I have had better elsewhere. It really is spicy, but not unbareable, spicy enough to make my nose run and choke a little, but not make me sweat and burn my mouth off, which is a good thing. The only problem, it was drowned in the dressing, but still tasty. read more

Amazing place. Love them so much. They're are so welcoming. The food taste amazing. Definitely would recommend to others.

We order from here regularly for take out. Usually some combination of noodle dishes and curry, with fried bananas. Never actually had the BBQ. The food is good, consistent, and it's always quick. We've had a couple odd requests over the years that they've been very accommodating of. No seating area, so don't expect much ambiance beyond stacked boxes of fish sauce ... but that's not what this place is about anyway. read more

Lord. I love this place. But my booty hurts rn! The food is too oily and something must be wrong with the food because of the countless times I had to run to the bathroom to have a long date with the toilet. read more

Wow Today I ordered bbq chicken. of course I usually ordered my favorite Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, it's delicious, this restaurant is the best. If I could give ten stars then I'd give it. read more

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

Not sure if the chef called in sick today.. but essentially I had the worse Thai food I ever eaten in my entire life. It is New Years Eve of 2019 and I figure I would surprise my girlfriend's family with 5 dishes from the Thai restaurant so that her father didn't have to cook. Boy was I in for a surprise myself 'cause I'd give this shit zero stars if I could. This was the driest and non-good I've eaten in quite some time. I probably won't be going here ever again. read more

"L-1." I don't even need to look at the menu anymore to know what I want. "What would you like to order?" "L-1: BBQ Chicken." I mean, come on! You're at a place called "Thai Original BBQ." You may as well, at one point, order some BBQ. I wasn't disappointed. The chicken is moist, even the white meat too. No one likes the feeling of a desert in their mouth after eating some chicken breast. This stuff was cooked just right. And whatever they use to flavor the chicken is delicious. It's sweet, and the skin slightly caramelizes into a delicious, crisp, charred flavor. The only thing I could change to make this dish better is that I'd like the skin slightly more crispy. But I guess to each his/her own. This dish is huge too. Half a chicken, with mounds of delicious fried rice, accompanied with a sweet, slightly sour, slightly spicy, completely delicious sauce. Dipping the chicken in that sauce, or adding the sauce on the chicken (however you prefer to apply your sauces) just adds to the whole sweet experience. The staff has only ever been nice to me, and they've always been timely with food prep, delivery, and water refills. I've only come here for lunch, but I do hope to come another time, or someday come up with enough courage to choose another dish other than my beloved L-1. The duck may make the transition easier though. In short: L-1: BBQ chicken: A (If only the skin were crispier). Service: A Price: A Positive(s) + That sauce... DAT SAWSE!!!!!!! + Plentiful (I always leave super full) + Reasonably priced (A lunch dish for about $8.00 + tip) + Moist, juicy chicken Negative(s) - I wish the skin was crispier, but that might just be me. read more

I think this is a hidden gem. This place most of the time had good food besides sometimes when they have overcooked chicken and too oily. Parent's took 3 Pad see ew takeout for us and it was good if they lessen the amount of oil they use. Portion is just right. I can split it for two meals since I'm on a diet :) read more

Mmmm mmm tasty! If you're looking for a casual, yummy and satisfying place to dine that makes modifications for food allergies, and you're feeling like Thai... pay this place a visit! I came here on a Wednesday night by recommendation of a friend. I have shellfish allergies, so going to Asian restaurants can be a challenge. When I started to ask the waitress questions about the way certain dishes were prepared, she automatically let the manager take over on the order. I told her my concerns and she spent time giving me some suggested dishes -- much appreciated! My friend and I ordered the Pad see ew with chicken (because it can be made without shrimp paste, oyster sauce, etc.) and also the Tofu Deluxe. It's a smaller size restaurant, but they have booths to fit four, a few tables for two and one large booth for a family. The food is freshly cooked to order and the staff is very friendly. We showed up around 8pm and had no problems getting seated within a couple of minutes. The portions are big, but perfect to share with another person. Nom nom nom! read more

I had the chicken soup with mushroom and chicken in coconut sauce, it was "out of bounds" as Guy Fiery would say. Delicious. I also had Sate dinner and Kai yang dinner. All their food was delicious to say the least. If you haven't yet, give them a try. Super small hole in the wall spot with some of the best food in the area. Also their customer service is great, they always welcome my wife and I with a smile. read more

Love this place! Been going to place for years now. The food is amazing and flavorful like one would expect in Thai dishes. I tried pad see ew, pad Thai, fried rice, Tom yum soup, and many more dishes throughout the years and it always hits the spot when I'm craving for some Thai food. I really don't have anything bad to say about this place. never had a bad experience when dining or taking out. And for SIP, they are still doing takeouts. Check them out if you're in the area and craving for some Thai food! read more

Thai Original BBQ - Pad See Eww - Thai Near Me - Pacifica, California

This restaurant is very unprofessional and unreliable. During the Covid-19, I ordered food from Yelp via Grubhub. When I came to the restaurant, they said they did not receive my order and told me I should asked Grubhub. I asked them if I could order in person, but they asked for cash. When I contacted Grubhub, they said the order went through, but they just refund me to ease the situation. Not a sincere sorry or regret from the restaurant. The manager just glance at his phone and said no order for me and told me not their duty to serve me. read more

Its is an okay Thai place. Ordered the chicken yellow curry: had prices of bones, it was gross and hard to eat. I never had curry like that. Red ruby curry: it was good, this did it have bones unlike the yellow curry, thank god. pad see ew with beef: it was a bit greasy but the broccoli was not over cooked. I would come back if I was being lazy. I would stay away from the yellow curry. read more

I would have given this place 5 stars bc the food is good and the prices are decent but I've had a couple bad experiences that really turned me off. First they don't answer the phone when they're busy, they actually turn the line off, so you can't call and make a reservation or get a to go order, nothing. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. Then tonight I tried to call 20 mins before they closed, no answer but I was already on my way so I tried to call again since I experienced them not answering before during business hours. They finally answered to place a to go order, the lady tells me I need to come within the next 5 mins (15mins before they closed) in order for her to start cooking. I let her know I tried to call 5 mins ago but they didn't answer then she kept repeating that I need to be there now to pay for the food in order for them to start cooking. I usually give them a tip especially bc they are a family owned business and like I said the food is good and the prices are decent but this time, NO TIP and a bad review. A tip for the owners and employees, Good customer service goes a long way! I changed my 1 star review to 4. read more

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