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.

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.

I asked while pointing to my Pixel Wings, "Are these wings double-fried?"…read more My waiter gave an emphatic, "Yes!" The Pixel Wings were deeply golden, with crunchy ridges that were audibly crisp. The chicken wings were adorably small, but every wing was crunch-worthy, with tender, juicy meat inside. Paired with the bright, chili-flecked house sauce, this small plate left a big impression! This was the second time my husband and I visited Must Be Thai. The other times we attempted to come here, the restaurant was packed, and we had to go somewhere else. This time, we found a nice window of opportunity for a Monday lunch. I enjoy this restaurant because it has a unique way of organizing its menu, emphasizing the regions of Thailand from which the dishes originate. It encouraged my husband and me to explore something new on the menu, as though we were traveling to that region ourselves. Besides the Pixel Wings, we traveled to Southeast Thailand to try The Ex Rockfish. The presentation was wonderfully dramatic. The whole rockfish arrived opened and deep-fried, curving around the bowl while a colorful tumble of buttery pieces of fish and peppers filled the center. A zesty green dipping sauce was also provided to cut through the richness of the dish. Pair that with a bowl of jasmine rice and some Thai iced tea and *chef's kiss*. This was a dish we had never tried before, and I'm glad our waitress recommended it! Another thing I enjoy about this restaurant is the youthful cheekiness of its ambiance. The dining room has a playful, urban-industrial aesthetic softened by warm wood and light colors. It feels both relaxing and energetic. The mural boasts a chaotic depiction of what appears to be a tuk-tuk and Godzilla fighting off some durian. The menu has a similar vibe. Despite all this playfulness, they don't mess around when it comes to food quality. Friendly service, great food, and a fun ambiance - we'll be coming back for more!

The good -service was excellent even with a smile. Parking is easy too…read moreThe bad- food is lacking in almost every way. Fresh spring rolls with shrimp we're served instantly which is always a sign they've been prepared and sitting in the fridge therefore clear wrap is hard and not soft as it should be. Patay with chicken okay but lacked in flavor. Tom yum fried rice extremely salty. In fact I couldn't eat it. The shrimp and calamari in it were okay and not salty like the rice. I ate here 2 years ago and wasn't impressed then, but my friend wanted to go here so I thought I'd give it another try. Never again. I will stick to the Thai restaurants I know.

Very small informal but well appointed space. We stopped in for a quick dinner before a show at…read morethe SAP center. It is the kind of place that you line up to order and are given a number to take to your choice of open tables. There were several people in front of us and it did take longer than we thought it would. But the delay was because people were all chatting and asking questions of the staff. Not in anyway delayed because of the staff. They are very friendly and attend to each customer fully in their turn. The taps are VERY unique and they will offer you a taste of their special brews. My wife got a sour and enjoyed it. I played it safer and got a ca of cider, which was delicous. For food we share a salad and and veggie burger. Both were good. The food takes a few minutes. So don't expect fast-food. This is a slow food place that makes ever item to order and tastes like it. Everything we had was very good. Note - This is a vegetarian restaurant that offer vegan options too. So, you need to know that going in. If you're in the area I recommend this place.

Such a "not so hidden" gem…read more Very generous portions. Flavors overall are solid and very hearty. Appreciated that they have 5oz beer pours to make your own flight. Blue corn polenta (5/5): This was the MVP of the meal. Amazing hearty and umami flavors perfect for autumn. Highly recommend. Half funky nachos: Half portion was huge! Flavors were fine. Mac and Cheeze: Solid and portion was enough for an entree Pretzel with beet beer mustard: Solid Service is friendly. Would recommend for those in the area!

Dang, TikTok does it again! Gotta give credit where it's due. I've lived near Red Chili for…read moresometime and had only tried their pad see ew before (which was already really good), but this time I ordered catering for a party: two small trays of wings, one laab flavor and one tom yum. Everything was ready in about 45 minutes, neatly packed, and honestly the wings were absolute hitters at the party. Both flavors were SO good and perfectly fried. I'm really glad I got both because everyone had a favorite. Perfect potluck food and definitely something I'd order again. Highly recommend!

It's a solid Thai spot!…read more Honestly, I wasn't expecting much because this isn't in a Thai-dense area in terms of restaurants, but my friend and I were very pleased. We've eaten around quite a bit, and Thai is something we both enjoy. We each ordered a curry combo which comes with a salad, rice and curry. A meal definitely worth coming back for. It's worth its price in terms of price, quantity and quality. The chicken satay was an interesting experience. The chicken was disappointing, but the peanut sauce helped. This place serves the satay with some pieces of toast which was new for both of us. I was bold enough to try it all together and it just tasted like a toast with peanut butter and some dry chicken. Not bad, but not something I would make for myself. The place is small, so the waitress had an easy manning the floor which she did very well. She did forget one of our items, but it wasn't intentional. She also reacted very quickly when we brought it to her attention. Overall, I'd recommend people to this place if they're looking for some quick Thai food.
