I've been here probably 4 times in the last year. Love this place. Great food, very fast service, and I really like their decor. This is my go to place when I want a fast yummy lunch. read more

The food is delicious! The yellow and green curry are excellent, as are the drunken noodles, Pad Thai and papaya salad. The papaya salad is very spicy so beware! After I ordered the Tom Kha Gai soup, I forgot that years ago I didn't like it at this location because it tasted heavy on chicken broth. However it seems they have improved the broth on the soup and I enjoyed it this time around. Years ago we did eat inside, and service was good, but the inside ambiance felt more like a coffee shop instead of a restaurant. Our order was takeout, which I did place the order over the phone. Person at register (owner?) definitely asks if you would like to tip. So be prepared to be prompted in person or over the phone (if you ask to pay via phone for take-out order). read more

Tin Thai Kitchen opened where Ben's Burger once was. Obviously retrofitted with Thai pics, artifacts. Seating inside & out. Music in background. Ordered at front counter, pd. Food came to table in 10ish minutes. Offerings: (usual Thai): vegetarian, soup, starters, Curries, specialties, noodles & rice, drinks. Bites: Brown rice (3) -probably Thai jasmine rice. Firm not soft. Great for soaking up sauces & muting chili hotness. Pla Gra Prow (22) medium spicy fried sole fillet -thinly breaded sole virtually boneless. Melty tender texture. Blended nicely with lightly stir fried crunchy onions, red peppers, green beans. -spicy basil sauce wasn't as spicy as expected. Mostly mild medium chiliness with bursts of hotness. *fish items only had spicy options. Probably would order another sauce style next. 4ish stars quality good.. Quality-good, Quantity-?, Worthiness-ymmv. May is Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander Heritage Month. read more

I love that the food is quality fresh and really good! I love that the rice in my yellow chicken curry came in a tower so it doesn't get saturated by the sauce until I want it to be. I love their Thai iced tea! Service was quick, excellent, and I really try to keep good businesses in business. It's a little bit higher than I'd like pay for lunch, but it's not fast food fast, it's good quality food fast. That's hard to come by these days. read more

Easy to order to go or dine in. Very friendly. Delicious, classic Thai. Only complaint I have --not open on the weekends.

Came here for a quick caffeine break and snacks before school pick up. The Thai tea was nicely chilled, bold and super flavorful. Not too sweet and definitely NOT watered down like you may find in other places. The curry puffs were so tasty and flavorful. It was very nostalgic in some way, as was the decor of this cute restaurant. The egg rolls were perfectly fried, crispy and flakey with each bite. Though I would have preferred some protein inside. Not sure if there was another option, as I didn't order. Service was quick and efficient. Place was clean Will definitely be back to try their other noodle dishes and more when I have more time and back in the area again read more

I come here often. Always get duck noodles and thai coffee. Always tasty. Great for a quick lunch to go.

I almost missed lunch and didn't have a lot of time so I ordered from the curry in a hurry lunch menu. You pay at the counter and they bring it to the table. Very friendly and helpful staff. Food was great it hit the spot. read more

Tin Thai is always a good lunch spot as its near work. Food here is what you would expect from a Thai restaurant. Ordering is simple and easy and food here comes out pretty quick. Staff is friendly and is regularly checking up on you to see if things are going well. The drunken noodle I ordered had great flavor and the wide noodles had lovely texture. Will definitely keep Tin Thai as a go to lunch option. read more

Came in and was told to go only. There were 2 guest sitting inside but I guess they were ending/switching shifts. Time was close to 3p I ordered to go of the coconut soup and dumplings, I asked for water while we wait but she said they sell bottle. I said no and didn't add a tip. The lady that took our order, took a pitcher of water and poured water for the 2 guests that were already seated. They have a lot of signs that say if they want to refuse service they can. Coconut soup tastes more watery/soupy not like creamy like most Thai places I get the coconut soup at. The price is reasonable and would have been so great if the soup was more creamy. It was my first and probably it will be my last time here. I did want to try another dish but who knows if I'll make it back this way. I took the girls out to lost world close by and wanted to stop by here to eat. read more

Cute interior decor. Service was quick, my wife and I were the only ones to dine inside. The lady was so friendly. Skirt steak was like BBQ. Sweet and had a side of chili sauce. The curry was very creamy and had an even amount of chicken and vegetables. The crab fried rice had lots of crab and paired well with the curry. I would come back. Too bad they close at 7PM and no weekends. Be aware of the 18% service charge. read more

Turned up here with a few of my work colleagues. For lunch hour it's pay at the front desk as soon as you come in. Didn't have to wait for the food too long. For my dish - Gra Prow Kai Dow **Spicy - without egg - minced chicken could have been a little tastier but all in all was ok - clean plates all round - so it's a good pass for this establishment . Would definitely come back. read more

This was a fantastic dining experience. I was expecting a run of the mill Thai restaurant and Tin Thai was so much more. I ordered an iced tea and a spicy beef. The tea was sweet and savory. The beef was fantastic! The heat was the perfect level where it doesn't cover up the great flavor! The beef was juicy and tender too. The veggies were all crisp and fresh. Great food, great service! read more

I have been going here for about 3 years and the food is always consistently good, however the service leaves much to be desired. They use to automatically charge an 18% "service charge" which they dropped about a year ago. The lady who is always at the front taking orders (who I assume is the owner) would always make it point to say "we don't charge the tip anymore" and made sure I saw the buttons to add an additional tip if I wanted. Today she told me the same thing, I selected no tip, tapped my card to pay and it said "transaction canceled" on the screen. She then pulled up the order again and told me you can select the tip here. Once again, I put no tip and the transaction was canceled and she said the same thing. 3rd time it finally processed and she said I could leave a tip on the table. Incredibly pushy and annoying. This is a great way to lose customers, I certainly will not be returning after this experience. The idea of expecting a tip from someone that walks in and has to order at a counter without being served or even seeing their food first is crazy to me. read more

Tin Thai Kitchen - Payment history - Thai Near Me - Livermore, California

In my opinion, one of the best Thai places in Livermore. Read on for more details. I have ordered shrimp pad Thai and it was really yummy. First of all, the quantity is huge. The noodles itself drenched with Thai sauce and taste good by itself. I got around 4 large shrimps, well cooked and flavorful. Additionally, there were egg bits, tofu and green onions. There were crushed peanuts on the side like a traditional pad Thai. Overall, a very tasty dish. The place is very crowded and the service was fast. The ambiance gives the vibe of a roadside Thai food truck. I will definitely visit again and looking forward to try other dishes. read more

Genuinely good quality Thai! Portions were appropriate, felt it was easy to eat in one sitting but didn't leave anyone at the table still hungry. The woman at the counter is also REALLY sweet- it was a super slow night so she served our food directly to table and went out of her way to help our table. Restaurant was nicely decorated, loved the plants (and snapped a photo of a sign we all got a kick out of). Felt it was the smallest bit more expensive than I'm used to (I'm used to curry coming with rice, but this time it was an add-on), but in my opinion was worth it for the quality. We'll be back! :) read more

Came here for a quick lunch and the service was indeed expedient. The crispy tofu ($8) was closer to firm than crispy and could have used more of the sauce, although the flavor that was present was nice. The pumpkin curry ($15 seasonal special) was passable but nothing more. Perhaps a small nitpick, but it would be nice to have the curry served in a bowl instead of a plate, making it easier to get spoonfuls of the broth combined with the vegetables. They do offer to make any of their curries vegetarian, so perhaps a return trip to taste one of their menu staples might yield better results. read more

Yummy food, kind staff but a rather overpriced relative to portion sizes. I ordered an a la carte entree and paid $21+ before tip. It was quite a meager portion, BUT was delicious and fresh-tasting. Definitely not worth the price, though, and I won't be returning unless someone else is paying. :) read more

Clean restaurant good food . I've been here a few times. I'll bring one of my clients here as it's also one of his favorite restaurants near his business. Food is fresh, flavorful and fast . Reasonably priced considering these inflationary times. I was surprised by the 15% service fee that was charged on top of the order without asking read more

Best Thai food I have had in the Bay Area by far. I have had many thai places and this one is by far my most favorite!!! I am always a big fan on their chicken drunken noodles and Panang Beef Curry with rice. They have so much flavor in them!!! However this time I only got the chicken drunken noodles and the total came out to 16 bucks with tax (togo). I did come around 3pm to pick up the food and it took about 15 mins after I called to be ready. They did have a sign that said togo only untill 4pm. I think after lunch time, they are only open for togo orders and open up for a bit after for dinner time. I also wish they were open on the weekends and open later than 7pm. I would definetley come for dinner time on the weekends. I will say this place is pretty small and is not a super huge resturant. They do have outdoor seating if preffered. The place is located in a small plaza next to a gas station and is close to the freeway exit. Overall, I highly recommend this place. The Staff is super nice and I can always count on them to have great food! read more

Pad thai is my go-to so I got their shrimp pad thai - shrimp seemed to be the only protein they offered on the menu for pad thai. The pad thai was good, standard, with a few shrimp. I wish they'd be more generous with the shrimp. If you dine-in, they also charge a service fee and have a sign saying so. I asked for spicy sauce and it definitely hit the spot! Overall, a little pricey for lunch at $17, and I got water. read more

Tin Thai Kitchen - Shrimp pad Thai + spicy sauce - Thai Near Me - Livermore, California

The restaurant is small but cute and nicely decorated. It also has a couple of outdoors tables. The restaurant is very small, but they also have food for takeout. I have tried several different curries, and found all of them very tasty and good. I have also ordered the chicken larb, which is quite good. although I would prefer it a bit more spicy. The restaurant closes early for dinner at 7 PM since most people seem to come here for lunch because it is located near many offices and warehouses. read more

I've had a couple negative experiences here in the past and stopped coming here because I didn't like having to double check that there weren't weird things in my food, but glad I returned because the pad Thai and pad see ewe were excellent today! The eggplant basil wasn't very flavorful, I'd pass on this one next time and try a curry instead. Small restaurant, I've only gotten takeout here but all of the employees are friendly and my orders are usually ready within 15/20 minutes! They are only open until 7pm and not open on the weekends, so I have only stopped in for lunch. read more

My husband and I usually love Tin Thai. It's located near his office so we would sneak in quick dates during the lunch hour, but now the quality is not the best from what we've experienced the past couple times we've visited. I went in with a very positive outlook for today's dinner and the service was alright at best. We were seated outside but sometimes the waitress would forget about us. We knew right away what we wanted to eat but she never came back to take our order. My husband had to go inside to place our order, which wasn't too big of a deal itself. Our waitress brought out our Thai iced teas first and didn't bring straws (which was difficult because they were in to go plastic cups w/ lids and can't mix well without it). I had to go inside and ask for straws myself. I ordered a chicken pad Thai as usual and it was nothing special honestly. I didn't like the thin noodles that were used and the meal lacked flavor. Also there were no carrots, lime, and barely any peanuts or bean sprouts given. My husband ordered basil fried rice and he said it was spicy but alright. He couldn't taste much flavor besides the spice. When we needed the check, again we had to go inside and pay and ask for a to go box for our food. We were so surprised to see that a "service fee" of 18% was already added to our bill! We love leaving tips for great service, but they need to be more transparent about that. 18% tip and we barely received any service during our visit. Handing us our food and drinks is not service. Overall we were disappointed that it was a pretty expensive meal and the food and service were not that good. On to new Thai spots! read more

10/10, Five Star, Best Thai Restaurant. Ever since I found this place, I've never had better thai noodles. My favorite dishes are Chicken Drunken Noodles & Beef Pad See Ew. They come with these huge, wide, fresh rice noodles. The texture alone is insane! I also like the Gra Prow Kai Dow with the fried egg! Love the food here, but also the staff! I met the owners years ago and they were lovely. read more

Good food and service. Efficient operation and clean environment, but only problem is they don't open weekends.

This is all about the signature dishes and this place has two amazing dishes; Chicken Drunken Noodles and Gra Prow Kai Dow. Both are spicy, very flavorful with a nice blend of protein, veggie and carbs. Depending if I'm wanting noodles or rice, I'll pick between the two. The owner, I'm assuming because she's always there is very accommodating with special requests and the food is cooked fresh and quickly. With Social Distancing the dinning area is closed but is nicely decorated with wooden tables. At the condiment area are displayed canned curries which are cute but because of them, I don't order their "Curry in a Hurry" options. Why dine out for something I can throw together at home?! I did take a pic of the canned curries and ordered a small variety pack from Amazon! It's Chicken Drunken Noodles but the owner allows me to modify the dish and change the protein to beef and add Chinese broccoli in addition to the basil, bok choy and roasted tomatoes that come in the dish . This is cooked in a sweet, spicy oil sauce I find addicting. The noodles are large flat rice noodles that appear to be hand cut. With add ons the dish comes to $15 The Gra Prow Kai Dow is chopped chicken, string beans, basil and lots of chili served over rice and topped with a crispy fried egg. Warning this dish is very spicy! I do like their curry puffs which is ground chicken and potatoes and baked in puff pastry, but for $6 for two that are the size of a potstickers, it's too expensive. Likewise, you get 3 small lumpia sized Veggie Spring Rolls for $7. If the servings were 3 Curry Puffs and 5 veggie rolls, they would probably sell more of these appetizers. read more

Tin Thai is a hidden gem in Livermore that never disappoints! I used to work in that area and it was always packed at lunch time. I went recently for dinner and there were still plenty of people considering it's not downtown or out in the open. Their panang curry is so flavorful. The curry puffs are dynamic. Their pad see ew is rich and comforting. The restaurant itself is decorated nicely and there is plenty of seating; they made great use of a small space. The owners and their employees are always friendly, helpful, and attentive. The prices are a little high but I justify paying for it easily. Best Thai in Livermore! read more

So, I've never tried duck before and I thought todays the day. I ordered the duck noodle and it was an awesome experience! Very nice blend of chewy noodles with crunchy veggies and well seasoned duck. It was a great dish and one I really enjoyed. My wife ordered chicken pad Thai and based on how the duck tasted I was ready to be amazed but it left us feeling underwhelmed. It was a little dry and lacking flavor. But hey I can't forget about that duck dish! read more

Tin Thai Kitchen has become our go-to place for delicious Thai food in Livermore. Pad Thai is not their strongest suit, but the Chicken Drunken Noodle (Pad Kee Mao) - spicy stir-fried wide rice noodle with bok choi, basil, chili, and tomato - and Beef Pad See Ew - sweet stir-fried wide rice noodle with Chinese broccoli and egg - have always been on point. Flavors are well balanced and portions are just about right. Another favorite rice dish of ours is the Gra Prow Kai Dow. This is ground chicken cooked in spicy basil sauce with green beans served over rice and topped with fried egg. It carries enough heat and the egg is fried Thai-style, making it crispy around the edges but still keeping a runny yolk. They used to offer table service but have moved to a counter-service model the past couple of years or so. They also attempted to use disposable plates and utensils during the transition process but have decided to scrap this idea. Some things have changed, but the food has remained consistently tasty. read more

Love love love this restaurant! Stopped by after a round of golf at Poppy Ridge and we all enjoyed what we ordered. I had the Gra Prow Kai Dow - minced spicy chicken in Thai basil sauce, over rice topped with a fried egg (ordered as mild vs spicy and added an xtra egg) - this was DELICIOUS!!!! (I wish there were more basil leaves in this dish and will ask if that can be added next time). The others had Beef Pad See Eww and Kana Moo Grob which got a big thumbs up! Will be back to try more dishes soon. The staff is very friendly and the dining space is clean and comfortable. read more
