We got the $39 for 3 entrees takeout deal last week and that was honestly such a good deal. We ordered online, which was super easy. We ordered - garlic butter chicken breast (so delicious must order) - green curry (amazing pls order!) - pad see ew (honestly not my favorite, it might be the soy sauce they use?) Overall, I love the food from here and can't wait to try more! read more

Thaibodia Bistro - Garlic butter chicken - Thai Near Me - San Jose, California

Very low quality food. I've been wanting to try this place for awhile and unfortunately I was very disappointed. The quality is very low grade and I didn't feel good while eating it or after. It's a small restaurant with few seats. More than enough parking for the size. I ordered mine to go. The service was bad. No smile, no warmth. Just a cold hard stare with no thank you or even a response to my thank you. Very odd. This place is a one and done. Definitely won't be returning. read more

Big servings!! We should have just got one dish to share, but we got to enjoy leftovers. I preferred the pad see ew over the pad Thai but both dishes were good for our dinner. The one staff member we saw was very attentive and helpful. Good amount of seating and the restaurant is clean. I'm glad we stopped in while walking by read more

Southeast Asian comfort food. A casual local gem for generous portions and classic cozy flavors. We ordered the classics like pad Thai and pad see ew, with that perfect balance of sweet and savory. A rich green chicken curry so comforting. Every dish tasted homey and was made for sharing. This is the kind of spot you bring your family or meet friends when you just want good food without a wait and service was quick. If you love Thai and Cambodian cuisine, give Thaibodia a try. read more

Tried Thaibodia Bistro for dinner and had a good experience. The menu had a nice variety of Thai and fusion dishes, and the flavors were generally well-balanced. The place itself was clean and comfortable, making it a nice spot to unwind and enjoy a relaxed meal. read more

Ordered six dishes for takeout (pad Thai, pad see ew, bbq chicken, yellow curry, lemongrass pork, beef with basil eggplant) and all portions were very generous, especially the noodle dishes and curry. Good flavors and I liked how the dishes were not too spicy (for kids). Would recommend this place! read more

Visited for their limited dine-in promotion and had a great time! I've ordered take out from their Milpitas location multiple times but have never dined in. Their San Jose location is nicely decorated and the ordering process was quick and easy through the QR code. Service was friendly, quick, and courteous. The food portions are huge and came out piping hot. The favorite of the night was the fried cod. I'd consider revisiting in the future if I'm in the area. Their takeout combos are more appealing to me, but the dine-in experience was very pleasant. read more

Food is quite delicious. I ordered the pod Thai and it was perfect. I added shrimp. Service was prompt and a good portion. As far as the restaurant goes, it's a very Baehr restaurant, but the food portions are amazing. read more

I had dinner delivered from Thaibodia earlier this week and it was delicious. I had the Rama Thai and yellow curry chicken. The Rama Thai was perfect but the yellow curry was too spicy, even though I ordered it mild (this could be an issue specifically with me because I'm overly sensitive to spice). Not wanting to throw away $20 worth of food, I added coconut milk from my own kitchen to the yellow curry to cut the spice and it tasted wonderful. Tonight I decided to try Thaibodia again and ordered just the Rama Thai. The chicken is supposed to sit on a bed of raw spinach, but instead there were just some tiny pieces of spinach and cabbage. It really didn't taste good without the bed of spinach. Fortunately I got a partial refund from DoorDash. read more

The space is gorgeous! Very open feel and clean. We got the chive puffs recommended by the server, chicken pineapple fried rice, green curry with shrimp and pad see ew with beef. I totally forgot to ask for everything to be spicy and she didn't ask spice level either... So remember to mention the SPICE LEVEL! It's not spicy at all otherwise but they had peppers on the side you could add with everything. Chive puffs was probably my favourite. Had a coconut sauce with it too. Chicken pineapple fried rice was pretty good. Chicken was dry, it was not on a pineapple! Jk. Still pretty good despite the chicken. Green curry was meh. Pad see ew with beef was really sweet. On day 2, doused them with my spicy chilli oil at home and finished it with no problem! Idk if it's a return. read more

Huge servings! Bring your family and friends to share different dishes our fave was the pad thai!

We've been to another spot in Milpitas and we had a great experience so today we decided to visit somewhere nearer. Food: overall, they taste good but the Tom Kha soup is way too salty, and we have to add some water ourselves to get it balanced. The chicken in all dishes is well cooked; very tender. We ordered medium spicy for all of the food and it's just about the hotness we want. Service: When we entered the restaurant around 8 we were told that they are closing at 9 yet the business hour on Yelp and Map is 9:30 so we were a bit surprised as there were no notice on the door even if it's a day before the holiday. (The Google Map is showing 9pm though. Hope the business owner can make sure info are aligned and updated) Ambiance: clean and nice. Casual meal or family dinner is recommended. read more

Stopped by for a late lunch. I had ordered the food online.it said it would be 15 minutes. I pulled up right in front. There's only street parking no lot. The place was completely empty,but than again it was 3pm. The guy behind the counter was friendly and asked if I was there to pick up a order. He came back with a very heavy and extremely hot package. I thought it was a bit expensive till I got home and saw how big the portion was. Easily enough for 2 to share. There was also plenty of shrimp. Not the normal 6 shrimps per serving like most places. The taste was good,but a little dry. I prefer my pad thai with a bit more sauce. But that's my personal opinion. Will definitely come back ,or I might try one of their other locations. read more

After a show decided we wanted thai food to go. Went to yelp and this was the first choice. Ordered on the app. Food was approximately ready on time. The food is very good. We ordered Tom yum with shrimp extra hot. Wow it was full of flavor and texture and taste. Hands down a winner. Went to the Basil chicken. Very good with chicken strips not ground chicken. Full of tastes and nice size. Then went to the pad ke mou. Again great flavors and overall great. I will be coming back for more. read more

Just tried Thaibodia Bistro in San Jose and was seriously impressed! If you're hunting for a tasty and affordable Thai spot in the Bay Area, this is it. Here's what we ordered: - Tom Yum with Mixed Seafood - Bold, tangy, and the seafood was generous (think shrimp, squid, and fish in every bite). - Mixed Seafood Salad - Super refreshing and a huge portion. Great balance of heat and acidity. - Fresh Spring Rolls with Shrimp - Light, fresh, and the peanut sauce was on point. Bonus: they offer veggie/tofu options too! Their menu covers all the Thai essentials: pad Thai, curry, pineapple fried rice, mango sticky rice... everything looked read more

Ordered from here via their delivery option, was very disappointed.... Food- they asked spice preferences, and even though I selected mild/no spice, they put a ton (TON!) of jalapeños peppers in practically every dish! So much, that I couldn't really eat it. The yellow chicken curry was also weird. It was fried chicken placed in a yellow curry sauce. The breading was too thick, all I could taste was the flour. The potstickers were also in a sauce that made them soggy and overly sweet. I threw away what I didn't eat, which meant I threw away a lot of food. Perhaps dining in versus delivery would make a difference, but I was super bummed about this meal. Service- NA, didn't eat there, although I guess a 1 star for not reading and taking into consideration what I requested. read more

Best Pad Thai in Bay area. The original one is spicy, but I love spicy!! Worth the money!!! read more

Came by today because we were heading our way home from Santa Cruz and i was craving Thai food. Since this restaurant has great reviews, I thought we'd give it a shot. When we first walked in, we noticed a very nauseating scent. It smelled like sewage. I thought it would go away. As we walked into to be seated, the smell got worse. Our family looked at each other and we all talked about how unsettling the smell was and wanted to leave. I feel bad for leaving but they need to figure out the cause of the smell. read more

Our server Julio was super accommodating! Great service and amazing food both times I went!

Love love love that I stumbled across this place! We were looking for a takeout Thai food place on Mother's Day & found Thaibodia Bistro through yelp. We did the deal they had that was 4 entrees for $54.99... you get to choose 2 dishes that include beef or seafood at no extra cost. We chose shrimp fried rice, beef pad see ew, chicken pad Thai & bbq grilled chicken. We also got a side of mango sticky rice & Thai tea. All for around $75. You can't beat it! Entrees were a good size, there was 2 of us & we had enough for leftovers the following day. I love Thai food, as I've had many different places. I'll definitely be keeping Thaibodia Bistro in my regular rotation! read more

Pretty tasty Thai food. Prices seemed average compared to other Thai places in the area. I ordered thru their website and picked up in the restaurant. From the menu photos on yelp, it looks like a year ago they used to have a great deal for 3 dishes for $30 or 4 for $40 something. That definitely doesn't exist anymore. Now it was 3 for $38 on their website but it excluded curries and certain proteins so it didn't seem worth it unless you already only wanted the exact things that are part of the deal. The 4 item one was $55 or something like that but it was "sold out" on their website lol This is definitely more of a takeout place rather than dine in. When I picked up my food at 1pm on a Sunday, there wasn't a single customer there, and it was too hot in the dining area for me to be comfortable on this 90° day, so I would only go there for takeout personally. Decent portions, everything felt very heavy and will last for multiple meals. I got yellow curry with shrimp, pad see ew with beef, and white rice since the curry doesn't come with it. Total was about $44. I ordered the noodles with no spice and the curry mild, but it tasted like the opposite. Noodles were white people spicy / Thai mild and curry was white people medium / Thai no spice. Flavors were all great. Potatoes in the curry were a little undercooked and the noodles were a little overcooked, but still pretty good. I'd go back. read more

We got a 3 togo entree's for $39.99 deal! Eggplant Basil - 5/5 was the groups favorite very good! No seafood in it but had a seafood taste. Pad See Ew - 4/5 - quiet average but good, i personally didn't like the celery and felt like it had an interesting choice of veggies. Felt more like a chow fun from a chinese restaurant. Pad Thai - 3/5 - Too sweet and not enough sauce. It was missing like a lemon or a lime as well. It just felt like smthing was missing. Service: Worker was very friendly and communicative. He helped us out and was patient with us while we were being indecisive. Ambiance: Didn't stay to eat inside but definitely has an Asia type of feel with the tile floor and wicker seats. Seemed very clean and would enjoy eating inside. read more

I ordered my food for delivery so I'm only able to comment on the food itself. The food was delivered in a timely fashion where it was still hot. I ordered their spring rolls and the pad see-ew. I wasn't a fan of the spring rolls to gummy for me but the pad see-ew OMG. The meat was tender and plenty of it and the vegetables were cooked properly. The noodles were just right not sticky. You get a nice portion where you can share with someone or just have lunch or dinner the next day. I have been in search for really good pad see-ew, I saw that some of the elite team have eaten there and went off their reviews. read more

Okay, this Thai Cambodian restaurant has some real positives and some negatives. 1st the positives: value/quantity! In this era of rising prices and smaller portions, Thaibodia bucks this phenomenon. Granted we ordered 5 dishes plus rice, we probably could have fed 8 people at least for the $80 bill. Not just veggies and starches. Every dish had a crazy amount of protein. Very impressive. The other really standout was their garlic Cajun crispy chicken stir fry dish with French fries. What? Thai food? Well it was a first for me but this was the best dish of the bunch. Lots of crispy chicken. A real tasty surprise. The negative: Thai food is all about complex flavors and spices...and heat. This food lack heart. No strong complex flavors, no heat even though we order every dish spicy hot. This was disappointing. This restaurant needs to send the chef to Bangkok and get inspired. The curry sauces need more paste, Basil forward dishes you should taste the Thai basil, get a variety of peppers, not just boring green bell peppers, don't be afraid to add chilis if your customers ask for the dishes spicy hot. I'm still looking for a great Thai restaurant in San Jose. Will someone help me? The search continues. read more

We ordered Pad See Ew and the Red Curry. I appreciated how hot the items were even though it was delivery. The portions were huge!! We ordered 2 items for the 2 of us and we still had enough left over for another meal. + The Pad See Ew was solid. - The red curry was not good - it lacked a depth of flavor - I would not recommend it. read more

Came in around 1:40 PM for a late lunch on a weekday and we were the only ones in the restaurant. Not sure if there's other parking but the only parking we could see was side street next to the restaurant that's along a road. It was large spacious and clean inside which was nice. The waiter was very nice and attentive. We ordered pineapple fried rice and pad thai and thai iced tea. The food portion was very generous compared to other thai restaurants, with the food tasting sort of mediocre and homemade, nothing amazing. Even the thai iced tea was surprisingly weak in flavor and sort of watered down. Prices were cheaper than other thai restaurants we've ordered from in the bay. Not the best thai food I've had for sure, but I would probably order again given the price and quantity. read more

Given the stellar reviews and the want for Thai food, we went to Thaibodia Bistro on New Year's Day for dinner. It was totally empty at 7:00 PM but there was a constant amount of delivery drivers coming in and out. It was a 1 person show which was appropriate. One other party came in for the hour and change that we were there. The ambiance is pretty much lackluster. A bunch of tables and chairs in a long, rectangular area. Nothing to write home about. You scan a QR code to view the menu but the staff takes your order. He was courteous and helpful. When we were deciding whether to order a 3rd dish, he said their portions are on the large side. This was very much appreciated! The Tom Yum soup was very good. The small says it's for 2-3 people but in the small rice bowls, we dished out about 9 portions! We ordered shrimp and they (6) were large. There wasn't a huge amount of vegetables in it but it was a fair amount. We ordered pork larb and it was very good. It was a tad sweeter than I'm used to. I'm used to it being more sour. In retrospect, I could have probably asked for some lime which would have fixed it. Nonetheless, it was still representative. We also ordered the beef pad see-ew. The beef was really tender but the taste was a bit lacking. It didn't have the smoky flavor of a well seasoned wok/cooking vessel and while I did taste what seemed to be oyster sauce, it didn't have the flavor profile of a typical pad see-ew. The one thing I should also mention is that they had some pesky gnats that were flying around. It didn't help the dining experience. They didn't make the cut to be a 5 given the experience and I'm also being a little generous with 4 stars. I'd say they're just a little short of that... However, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and will try them again in the future. read more

DoorDash order. Delicious green curry with tender chicken (ordered medium heat - was perfect) and colleagues ordered other curries they were equally happy with. Highly recommend. read more

I love pad thai and its a basic dish for a thai place but they served way too much food for lunch. Typically more is better but not when it feels like you're being served a pot full of food. I ordered the pad thai and it was very soupy and there was almost a magarine flavor that accented the dish. I couldn't stand it. So disappointed. read more

Convenient with their take out special! I see the prices were cheaper before, but it was still a good deal considering the portion sizes. I ordered a green curry mild, but it turned out to still be spicy which surprised me but that's what made it so good! It has a good portion of vegetables including eggplant, bell pepper, and zucchini. It doesn't have as much meat as I expected, which I ordered chicken. The pad thai I also ordered mild, but it was more bland that way so next time I will opt for medium or spicy. Otherwise, order was ready in a timely manner. I ordered on the phone, food was ready 15 minutes later and it was very hot. There was one person working and no one dining in, but it seems popular for take out. read more

Thaibodia Bistro - a variety of food items - Thai Near Me - San Jose, California

The location is bare-bones without much in the way of ambiance in an old strip mall on West San Carlos. We had a promising start with a tasty offering of roti and curry dipping sauce. I had the Pad Thai noodles, and my husband tried a Cambodian dish which neither he nor the server could pronounce. It turned out to be a sweet & sour stir fry similar to that you might get in a Chinese/Thai restaurant but with a larger variety of vegetables; he chose chicken for his protein. When it arrived, it was clear my husband should have ordered rice to go with it (and the server ought to have suggested it) so we ordered it right then. My Vegetarian Tofu Pad Thai tasted fine, but it had a dearth of vegetables. read more

Leaving a review based on takeout but I'm super impressed at the portions especially for the cost- we had more than enough leftovers for two people for at least two more meals. If you need to feed a group of 4 to 6 adults, I think each entrée definitely would be enough servings. Be warned that the medium level of spice is quite spicy, but delicious ( as long as you like spice, of course). We tried the Penang curry and the pad see ew and both were delicious and filled with a lot of vegetables! Definitely adding this to our takeout favorites list read more

Decided to try this restaurant out just walking distance to my mom. I'm really glad I did definitely coming back. The atmosphere was kinda out dated as much of the buildings on San Carlos are, but the food speaks for itself. Portions were huge almost 2x larger then other Thai restaurants with a ton of protein. The thai basil fried rice and pad see ew were super flavorful. Our waitress was super attentive the whole time. Stop by the refill my drink multiple times and made sure we were alright. read more

Thaibodia Bistro - Haw mok , basil fried rice, pad see ew - Thai Near Me - San Jose, California

We came here for lunch last Wednesday and ordered Corn Cakes, Pad Thai with chicken, Pad See-ew with chicken, and Char Kroeung (the first of the Cambodian Specialties--a stir fry with lemongrass, chicken, and bell peppers). The Corn Cakes were crispy and delicate, though a bit on the sweet side. Service was unfortunately not ideal; the vast majority of the orders were takeout, and the restaurant seemed a little understaffed. We waited 5 mins after sitting down to be given a menu and another 10 for our orders to be taken, and when our orders came, one of the dishes was not what we had ordered (specifically, the Pad see-ew we ordered was replaced with a second Pad Thai). Our food was very well-seasoned but extremely salty (particularly the Char Kroeung and the Pad See-ew). The Char Kroeung did not come with rice, but our server asked if we wanted a separate order of rice while ordering, which was a good call; it was the saltiest of the three dishes, to the point that I don't think we would have been able to eat it without the rice. The Pad See-ew was difficult to finish for the same reason. However, portion sizes were very generous, everything was well-seasoned (especially the Char Kroeung) and prices were very reasonable. It would have been a much more enjoyable meal if the food was substantially less salty. read more
