Stay away. It is overpriced reheated food not fresh. There is nothing that tasted Thai.

Thai Villa is a hidden gem. The first time I went there I couldn't find the restaurant. Finally I did and it was well worth it. The food was great! The only reason we didn't give it 5 stars was because the waiter was slow and hardly waited on us. First he brought out our first dish but forgot we didn't have a plate or utensils. We couldn't get the waiter's attention so we got up and took our own set-ups. Still it was worth it. This is probably the reason they are seldom busy. We would hate to see this restaurant close. read more

Our first time in Pismo and as always I needed my Thai food! With this place being a 4 Star I figured it would be good place. We had potstickers, Pad prik khing and stir fry vegetables and rice. 2 Main entrees were good, potstickers were just OK. Service could have been better. I feel as if the waiter was to busy trying to clean up before her shift ends so she can leave instead of even comin by to ask if we needed anything . I get it you're closing in 30 minutes. But to mainly focus on you closing vs your customers? Eh ....however I think either he was a busser or a host he refilled our drinks for us when asked and that was very nice of him. Overall I wouldn't come back due to the lack of customer service. read more

Second time having dinner here last night. We were going to go to North China but it was closed because it was New Years. Thank God this place was open! We got the Tom Kha with tofu for an appetizer and there was ample amount for the five of us. I thought about getting the papaya salad as well (got it last time and everyone loved it) but glad we didn't because we had more than enough food in the end. We shared 3 entrees between the five of us. Portions are really big here and its perfect to share. I went there ravenous and left stuffed to the gills. Shared the pumpkin curry with shrimp with my boyfriend. Got a bowl of brown rice for the table. They have all sorts of different rice here (sticky, garlic, sirarcha) which all sounded really good. We also had sautéed veggies with calamari and the sauce they use is so good! It didn't sound that appetizing when his grandma ordered it but it was bomb. We also got tea (served in individual glass mugs). I got the hot sake and the sake the use here is pretty harsh. Must be pretty cheap sake which I am not a fan of. Their coconut sake cocktail sounds really good though and wish I got that instead because I was not able to finish the hot sake. Service is good here. Two young guys working while the owner sat at one of the dining tables. Large parking lot with plenty of parking. I love the table scape and I'm pretty sure my boss has the same pillows in his house. read more

Thai Villa - Thai Near Me - Nipomo, California

I picked up my food and was greeted by a very nice waiter. He directed me to the desk where I was asked by a woman how I ordered. She was abrupt, I patient and rude. I got over it and left. I got home and was missing an item in my order. I was very hungry and disappointed and called in for a refund. I was told that she did not know how to do that since I ordered via DoorDash. I have no DoorDash account and ordered by clicking on their website. I clicked the link from my order receipt and was informed to call the restaurant. Needless to say I have not received my refund, no apologies and arise experience. In addition the food was terrible. We normally order at a place in downtown AG but they are closed on Mondays. This food was more expensive, very bland and with the missing item a horrible experience with rude staff, who appeared to be in charge and possibly the owner. I will not be going there again read more

The food was delicious and the were very polite and the service was fast. Our first experience wasn't so great but we heard it had improved. We have eaten there several times since and glad we did. It's really great and so convenient. read more

Small Town Surprise..... Pros: Very good food. Excellent value. Nice service. Flexible menu. Cons: Nothing really. Suggestion: If you've got a request, make it. They seem quite accommodating. Star Ratings: - Overall: 4 - Food Quality: 4 - Food Quantity: 5 - Exterior: 3 - Dining Room Attractiveness: 4 - Menu: 5 - Service: 5 - Noise: 4 - Price: 4 - Value: 5 - Parking: 4 - Restrooms: 4 We're thinking about relocating to Nipomo within a few years and visit the area on the few occasions we've got a chance. After wine tasting for 2 days in Paso Robles around New Year's, we drove down to Nipomo and decided to try Thai Villa for lunch. Glad we did. - Exterior: Pleasant. The restaurant is at the Tefft Street end of a small group of stores, so it's easily seen from the street. There's nothing extraordinary about it, but I'm sure the landlord had a hand in that. One thing which caught our eye: The sign "Thai Villa" appeared to be temporary, but the name stood out in block letters because we noticed it while driving by. - Dining Room: Also pleasant. Colors were attractive, yet subdued. Tables were spaced enough for reasonable conversation. Chairs study, but comfortable. The large windows looking onto Tefft ( and a parking lot on the side ) brought in lots of natural light. Ceiling was fairly high so even if the air or food got a bit toasty, the warmer air had room to rise. During our visit, the back door was open and a nice breeze blew into the place. - Menu: Varied and flexible. Thai Villa has many of the standard items you'd find in a similar restaurant. But what set it apart for us was the ability for each person to add several other components, such as beef, chicken, shrimp and vegetables to a dish. Customizing a salad or one of many entrees is a nice touch. - Food: Very good. The 4 of us are fans of Thai food and thought the quality of our dishes were just about as good as what we receive in our hometowns ( San Jose and Palm Desert ). We ordered a sampling of several entrees and gave a thumbs up to everything. The Pad Thai got a special thumb. It might not qualify as gourmet, but the food was flavorful, filling and left us feeling very satisfied. Oh, and the portions were "hungry man/woman size". - Liquor List: Small, but interesting. There weren't a ton of choices for beer or wine, though it seemed someone made the selections carefully. I was tempted to get one of 3 draft beers, but I had a lot of driving ahead of me. - Noise: Manageable. Thai Villa was about 25% occupied during our meal ( 2 PM on a Saturday ), so it's tough to say what it's like at a more crowded time, but we had no problem. - Service: Fine. I would almost say "gracious" because the young woman serving our table ( and a few others ) was very friendly, helpful and had a nice calmness about her. Everything was handled promptly and she accommodated a request to slightly alter a dish. She deserved and got a 20% tip. - Price and Value: Excellent. Of course it depends on your point of reference. To us, we'd expect to pay 25% more for the same quality and quantity. But who's complaining! - Parking: Sufficient. There's were plenty of spaces perpendicular to the stores and shops during an early to mid Saturday afternoon. - Restrooms: Good size. Both the men's and women's rooms were down a hall behind the kitchen. The men's was fairly clean with lots of room, although I'd recommend a more frequent check on conditions. Overall, Thai Villa gave us some good reasons to visit again when we're in the Nipomo area. read more

I have eaten at lots of Thai Restarants. None of them are even close to this place ! The pot stickers are awesome and the Calamari is the best I've ever had. We went tonight for a late Valentine dinner. I had pineapple curry with Scallops and hubby had same but with shrimp! Both were fabulous ! It's obvious the food and veggies are all fresh! We had a drink each, 2 appetizers and our meal for $77! Can't beat that ! ( the wine list not so great, just FYI! You may wanna bring your own! read more

Simply the best Thai food we had in a while. The veg spring rolls were really awesome and artistically presented. Panang curry was great too although could have used a bit more veggies. Mango sticky rice was delicious! We only had two nights in the area and regretted not going back to this place on 2nd night. Highly recommended! read more

Love love love thai villa and thai Talay ! The food is amazing as always . My favorite is the phad thai and the coconut rice .

Their curries delish, service wonderful, we love this place. Local wine list that rivals most wine bars with a respect to even name the winemaker on the menu. There are 2 things though here that make us come back... The BBQ chicken - seriously consistently amazing. Moist, flavorful, the boyfriend can't stop ordering it. The other thing is the music playlist. Mellow lounge music that's all remakes of 80's english beats and hip hop... We are constantly trying to get the tune while we giggle and enjoy our meal. Go... Enjoy this restaurant! read more

I have never had thai food before and really wasn't sure if I'd like it. Went in thinking I wouldn't, but wow I was wrong! We ate her for dinner tonight and it was so good! I had bbq beef and I added some of this green garlic sauce they make homemade. It was one of the best dishes I've had in a long time! We will definitely go back! Must try if you like a little spice :) read more

Good was great and the server was very friendly. Will definitely go back and take friends.

Food and service is great. We've eaten here on many occasions and have never been dissatisfied.

If you're looking for authentic Thai food around this area definitely come here! All of the dishes were so flavorful and fresh. Starters: Fried Calamari - generous pieces of calamari fried to a golden perfection. The dipping sauce just added a sweet spicy kick and the flavors mixed so well together. Tom Kha Gai (coconut chicken soup) - MUST ORDER. It came in a fire hot pot filled with generous pieces of chicken breast, mushrooms, veggies and Thai herbs. So creamy & coconut-ty, spicy & tangy- so delicious! Satay chicken - a staple to all Thai restaurants. Also a must order. Mains: Spicy fried rice with crispy pork - spicy, buttery-crispy pork rinds, aromatic basil leaves stir fried with rice. Bbq chicken - marinated bbq half chicken was so tender. This dish was a huge hit at our table and was gone so quick. Pad prik king chicken - spicy green beans and white meat chicken stir fried with a spicy & sweet chili paste. Short ribs - juicy, tender, sweet short ribs garnished with bell peppers and onions. 10/10 - will definitely come back soon! read more

On March 4, 2019, we stopped in for dinner. There is a large shared parking lot. Upon entering we were promptly greeted, shown into a table, and given menus. The restaurant is extremely clean. With so many items on the menu to choose from we want with the sate chicken, fried spring rolls, garlic pepper beef, and pralam chicken. The appetizer and entrées were absolutely delicious. The staff was friendly, and liked the price/portion ratio too. We look forward to returning. read more

Stopped by for lunch a bit late for my first time because of good Yelp rating. Even though it was take out only the They quickly and happily prepared me a chicken noodle dish that was excellent ! read more

This place is SO over priced! When I was waiting for my food I saw tons of tiny bugs crawling everywhere! They have puzzles on the table and they break with the slightest touch. When I picked it up it fell apart LOUDLY , which was so embarrassing to me. If I wanted to be the center of attention I'd be down at the rhino! Anyways putting the puzzle back together was very easy. When I got my food they said it doesn't come with rice which is nonsense for the price they have these items at but they gave me some for free hence why I put two stars instead of one. When I got home the food wasn't great. Save yourself and don't go here read more

Kow soi had savory taste even with tofu and lots of colorful fresh veggies with 2 types of noodles. Generous portion (photo of plate after I ate half for lunch and having rest over cabbage for another day). Our food was beautifully presented on plates. Clean uncluttered dining areas inside and outside, and spotless bathrooms. In these Covid times, I appreciate that the waiter wore mask responsibly and spaced diners apart. read more

First time trying this place out. The Fresh Spring Rolls with shrimp were excellent. Yellow Curry and Pumpkin Curry were really good but a little on the rich side. Could have had a few more veggies and meat in there especially for the price. Overall good food and service. We will be back for more! read more

The only thing I can say nice about this place is that the lady who answered the phone was nice. The food is overpriced, undercooked and flavorless. Oh yah, also small portions. read more

Excellent food and service! Friendly and attentive waiters. Dining room has a nice, mellow vibe.

They deliver! So I have to give them 5 stars!! I love Thai food and this is a decent Thai Restaurant. There is not much in the area so I'm happy! A little on the pricy side but worth the money. Enjoy! read more

Excellent drunken noodle with shrimp. The soup was amazing too. We would go back. Thank you!

This is the only Thai in Nipomo & sad to say the food is horrible. We've been there four times and each time it got worse. From ok to that's it we're not coming back. Food smelled of fish & we didn't order fish, service was horrible, only three couples in the restaurant and service was extremely slow. We now go to Bun Thai in Grover Beach & it's worth the drive. read more

Who would think an Asian restaurant in Nipomo would have an outstanding wine list? Thai Villa on West Tefft St has jus that. Located just before the Nipomo post office while driving west, Thai Villa has an menu others would envy. They have Geranios portions and fresh, flavorful food. You can add a selection of chicken, pork, beef, prawns and scallops to any dish. I chose a generous pour of Santa Ynez Valley Rusack Sauvignon Blanc, one of the best I've tasted, to accompany my Cashew Nut vegetable entree with numerous scallops. Of course I'll go back. As a single I am served at the bar. read more

Thai Villa - Thai Near Me - Nipomo, California

I was so excited to see a Thai restaurant close by when I moved to Nipomo a year ago. Had several good food experiences until last week. On 3/24/22 I tried to order takeout on my way home from North County. They answered the phone, asked if I would hold for a moment, and then laid the phone on the counter - where it stayed, on an open line, for the next 15 minutes. I refused to hang up because I wanted to see how long they would leave me there, listening to them wait on other customers. I finally hung up when it hit the quarter hour mark. I gave them another chance tonight and they did the exact same thing. Left the phone on the counter for 13 minutes. I actually drove to the restaurant, phone in my hand, listening to them package orders and wait on other customers. Just as I walked in the door, they hung up on me and took another call. I was sweetly approached by a young man asking if I was there to pick up an order. I explained I had been on hold, trying to place an order, for 13 minutes. "Oh, sorry. Would you like to place an order now?" I did not, and will not, ever again. It's too bad. Their food is really good, and their employees are always polite, but their service sucks. Given that they are the only decent restaurant in town (besides Jocko's, if you're into big cuts of beef) they are always busy. That's probably why they think they can get away with treating customers this way. Eventually, people will stop calling. They've certainly received their last call from me and, when asked, I will absolutely share my poor experiences. read more

Thai Villa - THIRTEEN MINUTES WAITING - Thai Near Me - Nipomo, California

First time at the Thai Villa, and not our last. The decor is very nice and very clean. The server was very helpful and attentive. He recommended a noodle dish, can't remember the name, and it was excellent. I ordered medium spice, which was just right. My wife ordered Pad Thai noodles, which she loved. I tried hers and liked it very much, not overpowering peanut flavor. Of course they bring the little containers of spices, which I have to add. I was cooking by the time I finished! 805 on draft thank you. We ordered a spring roll that is not on the lunch menu. It was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. We highly recommend this fine restaurant. I can't wait to try the Bbq chicken for dinner. Looks wonderful and the server said it is! read more

We have regularly enjoyed their food both dining in and for take out, but this week, they did an excellent job of handling a difficul situation and I must say, they went above and beyond in making sure we were happy with the results and I was! Thank you Thai Villa for renewing my faith in quality customer service!!! Elise H. read more

Always have great food here. Alex, the owner, always checks in to make sure everything is delicious and up to snuff. Having actually been to Thailand, I think their food is pretty darn good. I only reccomend not ordering scallops, anytime I do I only get 3 maybe 4 scallops in my curry. Ordering extra costs you a pretty penny and the one time we did only got 2 extra scallops. Pad thai, all the curries, calamari, some of my personal favorites! The sweet and sour sauce is super yummy! read more

First thing I have to say is...DON'T EAT HERE ON SUNDAY!! Having said that, this is a great find in Nipomo. Lunchtime is a sure bet for excellent food, excellent portions, excellent service. Dinners can be hit or miss depending who is cooking. I have been to Thai Villa (both dine in and take out) many times. I usually go around lunch or mid afternoon. I raved about the restaurant to all my friends. Then I ordered take out on a Sunday. Oh man! What a mistake! When I opened the container of Mango Salad expecting to find the usual large portion of shredded mango and six perfectly cooked shrimp bathed in the tasty garlic lime dressing, I thought for sure my roommate ate half of it on the way home! After assuring me he had not in fact snitched my dinner, he went back to the restaurant to find out what was going on. The owner was/is the chef on Sunday and sometimes during the week nights. She was abrupt, rude, unapologetic, and treated a paying customer in an unacceptable manner. She told him that the portion size was correct. She did begrudgingly put a teeny tiny bit more mango in the same to go container. When all was said and done, it was a horrible experience. The salad was stale, wilted and small. It went right in to the trash can! After discovering why the huge difference in food quality and quantity. I can truly say I love this little gem of a Thai restaurant. The food really is good. The waiters are absolutely wonderful. The portions are enough for two or three meals depending on appetite. But not on Sundays! Go at lunch. If you can't go at lunch, go to Pismo. Or, be prepared to roll the culinary dice. The prices are reasonable too. Unless of course you roll the owner as your chef. I ask who is chef now. If it is the owner, I go to Pismo or I go home. read more

Very good food and service. Everything was very tasty. The ambiance was nice too. Definitely saved to my list for Santa Maria!

Food was good... my two stars are for customer service... the place wasnt too packed when we arrived, there was no wait, we were seated immediately... it took our waiter about 10min to come and ask if we wanted anything to drink, when they arrived w the drinks, we ordered food .... The table that was seat more than 10 min after us, got a plate of food before we did It took more than 45min to get ours first plate. We then asked them to put that plate and the remaining food it in to go containers. I was bothered that w more than 4 ppl working not one came over and said, hey, sorry it's gonna be a bit, we're backed up or whatever reason they had for slow service. When we were leaving, that's when the guy finally said sorry for taking so long. read more
