Assly 2.

Hi, came to try this Thaibodia, sound interested thai n cambodian foods together so I can have a choice of each but feel of more Cambodian foods instead . We order beef salad, khmer soup, a cambodian traditional khmer dish which is call Amok. We was really disappointed on all the foods , beef salad is not even sour or smell like khmer beef salad. Was toooo sweet n salty, added Limes still didnt change the taste, the meat was sooo tender like they added baking soda or baking powder in it. Diff kind of veggies when its not necessary at all n who put carrots in the beef salad??? 2nd dish was amok, doesnt taste like amok at all, and who put square chopped cabbages inside amok and wasn't even in a banana leave was like a stir fry fish in a curry. Salty n tooo sweet, Soup wasn't khmer traditional soup at all, all kinds of veggies like leftover veggies in a fridge just throw it in a pot n cook regular with no aroma smell in it. Whoever the chef is, need to go to Cambodian and learn from the old folk or real khmer foods... I wouldnt be there again til they improve the ingredients they put in and have a real khmer chef taste the foods. Im sorry im being mean but I cook for other myself and I want to support our khmer people so we can tell the world how wonderful our foods is. With that kind of cooking is unacceptable. Never would look down on my own kinds, but this is just kids learning how to cook.

First-timer and will be back, pronto! Such amazing flavor, spice level was superb & the quality of food was just what I was looking for in a restaurant. Ordered via DoorDash so can't attest to the environment but I could taste the effort in my dish. Went with a curry I'd never had before & it did not disappoint. Finished off with a mango sticky rice and everything was delicious. Can't wait to try out the menu with some classic Cambodian dishes.

Pad kee Mao with beef

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.

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.

We highly recommend coming hungry and ordering for the table. The portions are huge and perfect for sharing. What we got: - Pad Thai - Pad See Ew - Tom Kha - Green Chicken Curry - Roti with house made curry - Mango Sticky rice

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

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.

Will not be returning to the Thaibodia San Jose location. My husband and I ordered takeout yesterday, and we both ended up with food poisoning and diarrhea that night and into today. We ordered the Yellow Curry with Sliced Chicken, Basil Fried Rice with Sliced Beef, and Ginger Sautéed with Sliced Pork -- all mild. The chicken tasted stale and had an unpleasantly mushy texture, like it had been sitting for far too long. The pork was even worse; I found a piece that appeared to be a lymph node, and it grossed me out. To top it off, the Basil Fried Rice had uncooked white rice throughout. We brought the food back and requested a refund. For context, I've been to the Thaibodia Milpitas location before and had a great experience -- delicious food and good value. Based on that, I expected the same quality here. Unfortunately, this was one of the worst Thai food experiences I've had in a long time.

61 - Yellow Curry and 78 - Rama Thai made correctly with spinach
Stacy C.

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.

13 - CHIVE PUFF PARATHA**
Sophia W.

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.

The there was a few small tables inside and you can also buy some items for home at the fridges/freezers near the cash register. The plaza was suuuper busy especially because it was a weekend so it was kind of hard finding parking so just a heads up. I got the: - Kao Piek Sen: This was soooo good! The noodles were so chewy and bouncy, it was the perfect texture and the soup was a bit thicker which i looove! So delicious, would definitely get again hehe We got the: - Beef Stick: I thought the flavor was spot on and the sticky rice was yummy but the beef stick was a bit dry so it was kind of tough to get through I would definitely come here again to try a few other things on the menu I was eyeing and I've been craving the Kai Piek Sen since! There aren't many laos/cambodian spots around the area so I was super glad we got to try this place!

***USP: Cambodian and Laotian food…read more ***SERVICE: needs to improve, significantly. I went with two kids, just two tables were occupied. The kids wanted to sit at a particular table and we asked the waitress and she said we can use it. We sat down, perused the menus and decided what to get. Then this person who I assume is the owner came up and asked us to use a different table, he said something along the lines of -this table can be combined with the table next to it to make it larger for a larger group size. I asked my son and he didn't want to move and I asked this person again if we had to move and he insisted on it. So we moved. Needless to say for the entire duration we were there no one else showed up, we were the sole diners in the entire restaurant after the few people who came ahead of us left. At the end of the day it's not a big deal but asking seated customers to move and subject them to inconvenience without any justifiable reason is hardly reflective of gracious hospitality. ***FOOD: I enjoyed street side hawker made noodles everyday during my short trip to Cambodia, the version here did evoke pleasant memories of that trip. But, they missed removing some egg shells and that destroyed a few mouthfuls of the noodles for me. There was also too much sprouts compared to the noodles, they should go easy on the sprouts sitting at the bottom. The noodles were nice and chewy, perfect aldente texture. We also got the holy basil chicken fried rice. I had basil fried rice several times but it was always made with Thai basil, it was my first time eating it with holy basil. I felt it was pretty decent, rice was moist, basil had an interesting flavor.

Inside is small so our large group needed reservations. The dining room was small and echoes a lot so those uncomfortable with noise be ware. A little chatter and light talking will get loud fast. Our waiter was very patient with our group making suggestions and bringing out water quickly. We ordered quite a few items off the menu plus two bottles of wine. The dishes are single entree size. Unique items were the loat cha which were thick tapioca noodles with chicken and veggies. The sausage trio was also different with turmeric flavors and deeper spices in the meats. The amok was a savory soufflé with some kind of fish inside. The durian rice was a dessert and the durian fragrant is strong for those who love this fruit. This place is more for intimate small group dining. The staff are great at accommodating though.
