For some reason, this place is always empty whenever I go here. I suppose it's a good thing for me, but I hope they stay in business for as long as I live in town because they're definitely one of my favorite Thai restaurants! I have been coming here for the last few years, and they have been very consistent with the dishes I've ordered. My favorite dish is their pad see ew. The seasoning and spice level is always to my taste. Every dish is packed full of flavors. They're also very generous with the portions. Staff are always friendly and the establishment feels opened and clean. read more

I was really torn on giving this a 3 star or 4 star. But ultimately it leans more at 3-3.5 Here's the thing: Service. Extremely nice and friendly. I came in during lunch. Only 2 other tables but staff greeted me with a warm smile, I ordered to go. They gave me water. Superb Lunch price wasn't bad. $14 for a plate of pad Thai. And shrimp rolls which they cut the styrofoam box so it didn't become soggy. Bravo. Unfortunately the flavor was lacking. The fried shrimp roll is standard. Not sure it's worth $10. It's an appetizer. But the pad Thai. It was sadly underwhelming. First the noodles is not what I'm used to. It's not the wider thick noodles. It's more like rice noodles in pho. So the noodles gets sticky quick. The flavor was lacking and only sweet. Missing acidity. No lime. No lemon. No tamarind. All in all decent. But not my kind of Thai food read more

We were in the Sacramento area for the day and decided to give this restaurant a try after finding it on Yelp and seeing all of the great reviews. I'm glad we did! The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and efficient from the moment we arrived. The restaurant itself is very spacious and would work well for both small and larger groups. Our food came out fast, and the staff checked on us several times throughout our meal to make sure everything was going well. The portions are generous for the price, and they definitely don't skimp on the protein. I ordered the Pad Thai and really enjoyed it. It was flavorful, satisfying, and not too sweet. Overall, it was a great experience with excellent service, good value, and delicious food. I would definitely return the next time I'm in the area! read more

November 19, 2025 - Sacramento. We stopped in for lunch around noon on a Wednesday after finding Thai Terrace on Yelp. It doesn't look like much from the outside (strip mall), but inside it's surprisingly nice. There's even a stage for occasional live music in the evenings. We were seated in a comfy booth and checked out the menu--lots of lunch specials (Mon-Thurs, 11-3) and a big selection overall. I ordered Lunch Special #5: Peanut Sauce with chicken ($14.50), served over steamed spinach and veggies, plus ginger rice for a small upcharge ($1.50). The meal also came with a small soup and salad, both fresh and flavorful. My entrée was excellent. The peanut sauce was delicious--spicy but not overly spicy. The chicken was tender, the vegetables perfectly cooked, and the ginger rice paired really well with everything. Portion size was generous; I had enough to take home for dinner. Friendly, fast service and great food. I'd definitely come back! read more

I flew in to Sac, and this was near his hotel. It was fantastic! First, the owner came over to discuss "how hot is hot". This prevented us from a difficult dinner as their food is hotter than most. The food tasted wonderful. I had pad thai, my friend had a curry. We both loved the blend of flavors. The portions were large, maybe too large if you are counting calories because you won't stop eating until it's gone. Also, it was Saturday night, and they had a jazz band. I've never heard such good "free dinner band" music. They had 8-10 musicians who would cycle in and out to showcase talent, and we stayed 30 minutes after we were done just to listen. read more

Came for a late lunch/early dinner. We were promptly greeted and then shown to our seats. Staff were very attentive. We got the coconut soup and chicken laab. The coconut soup was simple. It did taste like coconut and I enjoyed the two types of mushrooms and chicken in there. The laab was flavorful and refreshing with the lettuce. The restaurant felt very spacious. We were seated in the middle. They have a Thai tea and green Thai tea float. I didn't get a chance to try it so will come back to try someday. There's parking in the front area or the back lot that's shared with the escape room. As I was walking to the bathroom, I saw staff lying down on the bench while on their phones. They were most likely on break but it took away from the environment for me. I get it, not every place has a break room/area. read more

Late Saturday night, my friend and I were trying to figure out where to go for dinner and my daughter randomly said she wanted to try Mango Sticky Rice for the first time. I looked on Yelp and saw that Thai Terrace was open and had pretty good reviews. While walking from our car, my friend and I decided to grab something else for dinner as we were tired and just wanted to go home, but went inside to order the Mango Sticky Rice anyways. I let the guy in front know that we were just placing a quick to go order and he was very nice and even offered us some ice water while we waited. They had a live band playing and the place was vibrant and lively! While we didn't order any other food or eat there, I can say that all of us tried the Mango Sticky Rice and it was really good! My friend and I both agreed that we would come back to actually dine in the next time she was in town. If their dessert is this good, I can only imagine how their actual entrees taste! We will definitely be back soon! read more

Thai Terrace - Mango Sticky Rice - Thai Near Me - Sacramento, California

Our yearly review! Don't know why we don't come more often but always impresses us. Service was nice. Our food does take a bit of time to come out but it was delicious and not rushed. Always love getting the thai terrace noodles with medium spice always a hit with us. Pad thai as always, loved how balance it was. I believe the prices have gone up a bit but portions are still huge so i'm not complaining. Quiet, tucked away restaurant. Love coming here. read more

Thai Terrace - N1 Pad Thai and N5 Thai Terrace Noodle - Thai Near Me - Sacramento, California

Excellent food & great service. Their spice level is pretty tame, but there's always extra chili sauces available whenever needed.

This was the closest Thai place we can find in the area. Came maybe an hr and a half before closing and we were the only group dining in. To start off the place looks very nice! But man the little lady who was the host wasn't so pleasant. No smile , no Joyment in her tone of voice. Probably upset that we were eating even though we still had a lot of time. Was very dreadful to have her as the experience of this place. Ordered and felt the attitude immediately. Yes I understand that reviews should be about the food and it will be. But the service is also apart of the experience and this definitely was why the stars are not higher. The one star is for Christy who was our food runner and was nice and had better service . Definitely was the welcome we needed in the beginning . The one star is for her. The food is also decent . Be careful with the spice because it was actually spicy. Which normally the waiter would let us know if it's white spicy or actually Thai spicy. read more

Thai Terrace was impressive. The decor and atmosphere were top notch, especially compared to the strip mall it's located in. Romantic, organized, beautiful and authentic is how I would describe my experience. My date and I arrived after catching a movie nearby. We planned on Thai food for the evening and this is the perfect location if you're in the Arden area. Free parking in the lot right out front. You can't miss the large neon Thai Terrace sign. We were greeted and seated right away. I had the chance to peruse the menu before hand so I knew exactly what I wanted to order. We sat at a large booth with red heart shaped napkins, clean and very comfortable. For starters, we ordered fresh spring rolls with shrimp and Thai dumplings, both classic starters with great flavor. I also knew I wanted to try Pig on Fire which was marinated to perfection and flame grilled, served with sweet & sour sauce and fresh veggies. And of course can't forget the drunken noodles with beef, which included big flat rice noodles, green onion, bean sprout, bell pepper and basil stir-fried in garlic chili sauce. This was super spicy at level 2 so make sure to order a Thai iced tea to help with the heat. Everything was superb, the service atmosphere and food was amazing. I can't wait to come back for more. read more

My friends and I came here for dinner. Restaurant is pretty big. They were not busy on a Sunday evening. We ordered Chicken Satay, Yellow Curry, Daffy in Trouble (duck dish) and Beef Pad Thai. Daffy in trouble was really salty. Meat was tender. I liked the veggies and cashews that came with the dish. Chicken satay, yellow curry and pad thai were all good and decent in portions. Service was quick. read more

The panang curry was very tasty and very mild. I added my own fish sauce and chili powder to make it a little spicier, but the flavor was on point. This was my first time having it. I usually order red curry, but this might be my go to moving forward. The tofu was perfectly crisp, and the rice was cooked well. There could have been more veggies in the dish, but overall it was good. I ordered it all a la carte and finished everything. The cucumber salad was a little too sweet for my liking, but it was not bad. It is a nice small bowl of cucumber and onion with whatever sweet vinegar they use. The service was great! They allowed me to sit down before my other guest arrived and checked on me frequently. They did not get frustrated when I was ordering. There is nothing particularly special about the ambience, but it is cute. Their new plateware gives the space a slightly upgraded and more elevated feel. I could see myself coming here often for lunch or dinner, whether with a big group, a few people, or even by myself. I will need to come back a few more times for it to truly earn a 5/5 but for now I would recommend it to others looking for lunch or dinner in the Arden area! read more

This place is THE place for thai food, everything tastes authentic and extremely flavorful! I got the pad thai, which had a strong peanut butter aroma, while my bf got the drunken noodled. We both got mild but it tasted like medium spice, def get no spice if you don't have a high spice tolerance. Thai spice is a whole new level. I also got their thai tea and it was 10/10, not too sweet The servers are extremely nice and really attentive as well! They filled our waters without us needing to ask and constantly checked up on us to make sure everything was going well. Very friendly people! The ambiance is more on the romantic side, with heart shaped napkins and low lighting. Perfect place to go on a date. read more

I love Thai food and was hoping I can include this place in my rotations. Sadly, the food was average and the slowest service I've ever encountered. Pig on Fire I was intrigued by the name. Grilled thai marinaded pork with steamed vegetables served with sweet & sour and thai style spicy sauce on the side. The meat was on the tougher drier side. Crab Fried Rice The crab meat on top was cold, so I think they cooked the fried rice and top it with crab meat. The dish was lacking flavor. We wanted Mango Sticky Rice for dessert and had ordered it with the entrées. The service was slow to begin with, from taking our orders to food delivered to our table. It was understandable because it was Friday night and they had a couple of large parties. We must of sat there for 30 minutes waiting for the Mango Sticky Rice. And yes, we reminded the waiter when they cleaned off the table. When we finally was able to flag down the waiter. I told her that we have to go because by this point we were there for two hours. She was not apologetic about it and just bought out the check. She didn't explain why it took so long or maybe the order wasn't put in. I was pissed and couldn't run out of there fast enough. They had a full live band singing songs from the 80s. It was lovely and unexpected. That's what is stopping me from giving them 2 stars. read more

Delicious Thai food, elegant ambiance, and friendly service. We had a table of four dining on a weekday evening. There weren't many people at 5:45 pm but it started filling up after that. I ordered pad see ew, which I think had a good ratio of meat, eggs, noodles, and veggies. I asked for chili on the side and I loved that they already had a tray with three jars of dry chili flakes, sambal, and sliced red chilies in vinegar. Our waitress was knowledgeable and told us most dishes could be made vegetarian, vegan, or without fish sauce (except for the curries). Prices are comparable and reasonable. I would definitely return for their lunch specials or a night when they have live music (according to other reviews). read more

Thai Terrace - Beef pad see ew - Thai Near Me - Sacramento, California

SERVICE: The inside was so nice! However I'm very disappointed with the service. We came in and we weren't greeted by hostess/server however she had a lot of attitude. She was shorter server. We let her know we had a party of 4. She was not welcoming at all. You can tell she did not want to be there. After we sat down, it took awhile to have her come back to take our order. I ordered the pad Thai, and asked for it to be spicy. She was so rude even our friends were caught off guard. She said "HOW SPICY DO U WANT". I didn't know how the spice levels worked, but instead of explaining it she asked me again. Then stated "MILD, SPICY, OR WHAT". Again caught us all of guard. From LA to the BAY, this was the worst service we've received. Christy was not our server however she had brought our food out and was VERY nice. She made our experience way more pleasant. 5 stars for her! AMBIANCE: The inside was so nice! I was actually really shocked. There was a chandelier in the middle that really set the mood. Food: I had the pad Thai and usually I order spicy at other Thai restaurants and it's the "white people" spiciness. Only few restaurants are "Thai spicy" that I've been too and they explain it. Which I'm okay with I can eat spicy, however since we didn't get an explanation, my boyfriend order medium pad Sa ew and he was struggling to eat it. Besides the spiciness, the flavour was actually really good! And the pad thai was not dry. Honestly would I come back? Even though the food was good, the server we had left a bad taste in our mouths. We would recommend to order doordash from here but not for dine in experience unless Christy is the server. read more

The sexiest and hottest noods you'll ever come across... You MUST get the Terrace noodles when you come here! It's sooo goooood!

We've probably been to Thai Terrace almost 5 times in the past 2 weeks already It has officially become one of our favorite restaurants It all started when a friend invited us to walk around Arden Mall and mentioned there was a Thai restaurant nearby.This place right here. After eating, we could easily drive across to Nordstrom Rack and continue shopping. The location is honestly perfect: great food and shopping all in one area. Since then, we've kept coming back again and again with friends, friends' families, and our own family too because we genuinely want everyone we know to try this restaurant. The restaurant is spacious, comfortable, and has a great atmosphere. Some Saturdays they have live music, and certain months they even host concerts featuring artists flown directly from Thailand One of the best parts of coming with a group is getting to try so many different dishes and honestly, we've almost tried the entire menu by now. There are definitely a few dishes we always come back for. Our must-order dishes are: Boat Noodles - rich, flavorful broth that truly tastes like authentic Thai food back in Thailand. Pad Kra Pao with minced pork -- especially if you order it Thai spicy style. Bold flavor, perfectly spicy, and tastes homemade like comfort food from home. The drinks are also amazing: Thai Tea Float and Green Tea Float -- both topped with matching ice cream, which makes them extra delicious. For dessert today, we tried fried bananas with ice cream, and it was the perfect ending to the meal If you're looking for authentic Thai food around Arden Mall / Sacramento, we truly recommend Thai Terrace. You'll understand why we keep coming back once you try it yourself read more

I used to frequent Thai terrace often previously when I lived near Sacramento State. Now I do not live there anymore since I moved to Natomas. It was my go to Thai place. Now that I have moved to Natomas, the Thai places near me have not compared to Thai Terrace. Recently, I went on a Friday night with my boyfriend. The restaurant is located in a strip mall with a decent amount of parking in the parking lot. We went a couple of months ago and discovered that they have live music on Friday nights! They had not had this previously in the past. When we went the first time there was live music and a lot of people who were dancing! It was fun and lively and so nice to enjoy live music while eating dinner. The ambiance is elegant and fancy with chandeliers and colored lights. Our go to orders are usually the green curry, basil eggplant, and drunken noodle dishes. The portions are large for the price and the food is delicious. There's always leftovers! Overall, I would definitely recommend checking out this place especially on Friday nights when they have live music. They also have a loyalty card so if you get 10 stamps, then you get a discount for the next meal! read more

Ohhhhhhh myyyyyy goodness!!! This was so delicious. The coconut soup was the most amazing soup ever - just the right balance of the tastes of Thai. Thai dumplings and a dark soy sauce- yes, amazing. Perfectly cooked brown rice. Drunken noodles - requested Thai spicy actually came out SPICY and the noodles were not over done. And, my house specialty Purple Heart Japanese eggplant dish - another home run slam dunk epic experience. I hope it don't over sell this... but it was all so good and the portions were plentiful. The decor was classy and they had a gorgeous and clean bathroom. Apparently they do live music once a week in the evening but I haven't looked it up yet. Really - only the food needs to be on stage but the jazz on the speakers was so nice I have a feeling live music won't disappoint. Impeccable and kind service that was always there to serve our needs. The portions were big and the food was gorgeous! One more thing - there is patio outside with tables too. They had a a couple heaters close by. You are amazing Thai terrace. Thank you. read more

Second time here and it's a winner again! This time Curry Noodle with egg noodles and chicken and Drunken Noodle. Both were delicious. We were lucky to come during lunch special time, so our entrees were served with a tasty tofu & vegetable soup and a salad with a well seasoned dressing. Featured pictures include the drunken noodle; the green Thai Tea (super floral and not to be missed!); and the palm drink- not too sweet and reminiscent of coconut! We were ravenous, so we had to steal pictures of the Khao Soi - curry noodle bowl website . The servers are kind, knowledgeable and proud of the dishes served. The food came out super fast, so we barely had time to stare at all the beautiful decor- peep the gorgeous chandelier! read more

This is a wonderful Thai restaurant that serves delicious food with live music! I got good vibes right when I opened the door because there was a live band playing fun jazz and singing old but gold songs that brought back memories. I found out that they have live music on Friday and Saturday nights. Although I liked the vibes and warm ambience of the restaurant, the music was very loud and it made my head hurt a little sometimes because I was not feeling that well during the dinner due to lack of sleep. I still thoroughly enjoyed the music while eating though because it made me want to eat more. Service was great because two servers helped our table and checked up on us. I ordered the Pad Thai and it was so yummy. It tasted very authentic and flavorful. They give a good amount of meat, noodles, and veggies! I wanted to get their Thai tea because it looked so pretty and refreshing, but it was too late in the night for me to drink it. I noticed that they made a little flower on top of the straw that is in the drink when they serve it. I thought it was whipped cream at first, but my friend said it is made with the straw's paper, which is very creative and cute! read more

Thai Terrace - Pad thai and pad see ew - Thai Near Me - Sacramento, California

Came in on a Monday around 8pm. We were seated immediately. There wasn't many people in the restaurant. When our server came over to order she was friendly. We ordered the combo appetizer, Thai terrace with pork and one with chicken, the drunken noodle and the pad Thai - extra Thai spicy plus the extra spice tray!!! The appetizer: satay chicken moist and delicious with the peanut sauce, fried shrimp-crisp not greasy and cooked to perfect doneness, fried veggies had a thicker batter than I'm used to and the broccoli was a little over cooked, the zucchini was a little over cooked and soggy, the potato and carrot were cooked perfect. All other entrees were a large portion and delicious. The extra Thai spice was enjoyed and hardly even brought a tear. Also ordered two specialty cocktails: spill the tea and the rainbow. Both tasted great and the basil in the spill the tea was perfect! Been here a few times and still love it.

This is a beautiful restaurant with excellent service and delicious food tucked into a small business park- absolutely worthy of seeking it out! Though we missed out on the lunch specials since we came by on the weekend (and thus our meal was pricier), we had a really lovely time. The pumpkin curry was the best I've ever had with more pumpkin than I've ever seen in the curry itself. The yellow curry was flavorful and just a little kick of heat, which I personally enjoyed. They have an interesting drink menu as well (we enjoyed lemonade, sugar cane juice, and a Thai iced coffee at our table). The fried wontons were also delicious. Overall, I absolutely am looking forward to going back. The adorable folded roses on the ends of the straws and the napkins folded into hearts were a nice touch as well. read more

Ok let me start by saying the atmosphere is relaxing and beautiful the staff are amazing, they are good with suggestions and just listening to what you want. It's my first time inside the restaurant, but I've ordered several times through DoorDash. I didn't get to take a picture of my crab fried rice, which is my favorite because I wasn't thinking and I just started to eat it, but I did take a picture of the other things. I do love their peanut sauce and their spring rolls. I do wish that it had a little bit less lettuce but overall, I will definitely give it 8/10 for the spring rolls. The sticky rice is definitely a 10 /10 for me and the crab fried rice is 1000/10 like it's the best thing ever especially if you get it with the Thai spice yes definitely one of my favorite places to order from and I definitely will be coming back now that I see what the atmosphere is like so if you haven't been there, you should definitely go.. read more

We tried the Purple Heart (Japanese Eggplant), Masaman Curry, Pad Thai, and Tom Kha Soup, along with the Green Thai Tea and Pandan Tea. Overall, everything leaned heavily on the sweet side, so I'm including a sweetness rating for each item. Purple Heart (6/10 sweetness) - This was favorite because of the crispy basil. Masaman Curry (7/10 sweetness) - It was good, but I've had better versions around Sacramento. Pad Thai (7/10 sweetness) - a little underwhelming in flavor. Tom Kha Soup (9/10 sweetness) - While the flavor was nice, it was so sweet that we ended up adding water to balance it out. Green Thai Tea (10/10 sweetness) - Very sweet, even for a dessert drink. I couldn't finish it because of the intensity. Pandan Tea (10/10 sweetness) - Also delicious but extremely sweet. If you have a sweet tooth, you'll probably enjoy these more as-is. But if you prefer a more balanced flavor profile, you might want to ask for less sweetness or come prepared to adjust read more
