Place is decent thai. The papaya salad is REALLY really good. I get it thai hot and they really kill it with the fusion of spicy and flavor. I highly recommend the papaya salad! The pad thai is mediocre- not too greasy but the noodle itself is good with the peanut garnish. The fried basil rice is also decent but not anything jaw dropping. I don't recommend the steamed veggie. It's over priced, too salty and wilty. It comes with the little corns, bok choy (that was AWFUL) and snap peas. Also on the do not recommend list is the lemongrass soup. Small bowl that tasted grainy and almost fake flavor. Maybe it's the msg. Also be forewarned- lunch hour is a mad house zoo. You won't have much service, and there isn't air conditioning (or if there is it's set at a higher temperature than comfortable ) read more

Food was sooooo tasty. Great Thai iced tea! Definitely get the gra prow kai dow with the fried egg never seen this anywhere else and is by far my favorite thing there. read more

My family and I went to Tin last week and really enjoyed what we ordered. My favorite was the shrimp pad thai and the kow pad poo. Yeah, I'm really not liking the way that last dish sounds, but it didn't stop me from eating it lol. Decor of the restaurant was cute, but totally not what I was expecting for a Thai restaurant. It sort of has a Erik's Deli sort of vibe to it. There is seating outside as well, perfect if you have pets or a very loud toddler like I do. Service was great. I'd like to echo a previous review and suggest updating the Tin website so that it doesn't require Flash Player to view the menu. It's possible you're losing sales because of that. Like the other reviewer, we actually wanted to try this place previously by ordering pick up, but since we were not able to view the menu on an iphone, we chose a different Thai restaurant. read more

Thailicious or thailivermore... get it.. good authentic thai food is hard to come by in Livermore, however this is acceptable. I searched, I sought and it delivered a light but rather tastly meal. Ambiance- My first impression was what a cute restaurant, however, dont be fooled.. its a thai restaurant. Doesnt have the traditional theme w elephant, lotus flower and intricut prints but rather more westernized w mason jars, chalk signs and panel walls. The customer service was great. As the gentleman greeted us at the door, I took a good look at the place and admire their decor. Very cute.. mixture of the old, the new and the western. Curry puff- two pieces gets you a yellow curry filled flaky pie crust. Not the best, but decent. $4 Papaya Salad- savory papaya salad, doust in lemon juice, fish sauce and thai chilies. The spice scale is more on the mild to medium scale. $8 Duck noodles- it's pad see ew with duck meat. Was slightly thrown off by the name as I thought it was something entirely different. But no.. its just with a diff type of meat. Not bad a restaurant that is slight in the out skirts. $10 The flavors were all their. I wouldn't mind coming back. The customer service was excellent and the food more catered to Americans rather than authentic thai. There spiciest dish is probably as spicy as a jalapeño, which is not bad once in a while. read more

Food is very flavorful with fresh ingredients and pretty good portions. Staff is super friendly and there food was out pretty quick! I recommend the red curry yum! read more

I'm really happy with this little gem. Close to my office and fast and affordable pricing. The decor is fun and a juxtaposition to what you'd expect of a traditional Thai decor. I've had the green curry, pad Thai and a few others and was never disappointed. read more

My best friend likes this place, but it's a very westernized Thai restaurant. The food is ok, but I would recommend searching elsewhere if you are looking for authentic Thai. read more

After reading the reviews, I've decided to give this restaurant a try and unfortunately, it was between a combined meh to okay experience for the service and food. I walked in the door and it took the waiter a hesitant second to decide where to seat me. The waiter pointed to where I can sit and told me he'll be with me shortly. So I walked myself to the table where the waiter pointed to where I can sit, and I smiled at the waitress clearing the table next to where I was seated. So after sitting there for almost 5 minutes and receiving no acknowledgment from either the waiter who told me he'll be right with me or from the waitress clearing the tables, both still appeared deeply engaged in what they were doing (sarcasm), finally the waitress asked me from across the room if I have ordered. I almost laughed out loud, and told her "not yet because I haven't been given a menu". She apologizes and brings over the menu. I ordered their lunch special, Drunken Chicken Noodle and a Thai iced coffee. I was hoping while I sit there and wait for my order, I get at least a cup of water, but luckily my Thai Iced coffee came in time to quench my thirst. It's almost 2 pm and my first meal of the day (my odd work hours means my day starts later than most people), so anything should taste good right? The dish had a good hint of spiciness but what happened to the FLAVOR besides saltiness?!?! I had this dish at other Thai restaurants around the Bay Area, and I know there's actual flavors besides salt and spicy. All in all, first impression is important and the mediocre taste won't be enticing me to come back. read more

I found this place when a colleague brought me here for lunch. I love their food. I'm quite familiar with Thai food as I grew up in Asia. I can taste the authentic Thai flavor. My favorite is the crab fried rice. A bit pricey, but I can taste the real crab meat, yummm... The place is neat and clean, appropriately decorated. The guys working there are friendly and fast too. The price is a bit on the high side but the quality can justify it. I recommend this place. read more

Really clean and enjoyable flavors. I ordered the pumpkin curry with a glass of McGrails petit Syrah. Happy! read more

Love this place! FAST service and good food. I've had their shimp pad thai ad the Gra Prow Kai Dow. The later multiple times. Quality is consistent every time. I've only had a sit-down meal there twice but I was seated within minutes. I usually get my lunch to go and love it! read more

Food: it's now my favorite Thai restaurant in the area. I ordered the minced chicken with fried egg. Egg was fried to perfection, minced pork was authentic like the one I had in Thailand. Environment: clean, interior design has a Southeast Asia vibe to it. Service: remarkably quick. Will definitely come back multiple times. read more

I've been to Thailand and I am proud to say I'm a Thai food snob. Tin Thai is one of the best restaurant in the Bay Area!! I order in and out here regularly. Papaya Salad is so fresh, pad se ew is amazing. I've never been disappointed. Also extra bonus - it's family owned! read more

Went here during lunch hour in the middle of the week. Food came out fast and fresh. Everything tasted amazing. Coconut water so refreshing on a hot day. I would definitely go back for seconds. read more

Is there a minus ZERO! My 1st time here in a long time. I waited in line at about 1140am. Got my number 26 and started noticing that people with numbers after me were getting their food before me. When I noticed that number 31 received their food I went to ask, and she said it was going to be another 10 minutes. How long does it take to make a plate of Pad Thai? The worst service ever. Then she refunded my order. I had spent a good 25 minutes of my lunch somewhere that blamed me for them not getting my order. Now I am out of having something to eat. read more

Always good. Portions are smaller than I remember. Noticed automatic 18% tip if you sit down. This is becoming the norm. So just pay attention so you don't tip on top of that. Unless you want. read more

We ordered basil rice, & drunken noodle, and papaya salad. The papaya salad was horrible I've had way better. But you'll see why I only took 1 star. I loved the drunken noodle, we substituted chicken for shrimp. It had baby bok Choy in it. Absolutely Devine. I didn't like the look of it but boy was the taste amazing. We also ordered basil Thai friend rice. We left that as it was on the menu, it was made with minced chicken. I had it made Thai hot. The Sauvignon blank glass of wine was cheap and not worth $9 not for this type of spot. I was happy with the main courses though. read more

A coworker introduced me to Tin Thai Kitchen. Now I am addicted to the Spicy Basil Fried Rice. It is a generous portion so I usually share it with someone, usually another coworker. Now everyone in the office is addicted too. If you are ordering at lunch it gets quite busy and difficult to order by phone. Be prepared for a wait and no parking in the lot. However, it is all worth it! read more

This spot has great food and quick service for carry out. This is a weekly lunch pick up for us.

Thrilled to find this little place so close to my hotel for an evening to go order. I was happily greeted and placed my order to go: Chicken Sapparod It was promptly cooked and packaged nicely. Not a huge portion, like if I was in the restaraunt and ordered with another as one of 2 dishes, I would of been disappointed. For just one, it was great, but was pricey! This is where it looses one star, but oh heck it was just me this evening and on the company credit card. The dish itself, was perfect with esquisite flavors, not to sweet and not to salty! I loved it! For sure I shall return when in the area. I will am curious about the portion, if to dine in. read more

My favorite Thai restaurant in Livermore. They always served great food, friendly service and they never disappoint with their curries. Parking could be hard during lunch hours but throughout the day you can easily find one. I definitely recommend this place to people who loves spicy food! read more

Great service and food. The basil friend rice and drunk noodles were delicious. They were much less spicy than expected after reading the reviews - if you're used to spicy food, you won't find it all that spicy. Our waiter kept coming by to check on us and make sure our food was okay. Prices are great too. Definitely will be a go-to place :) read more

When you are so hungry, the dish is so delicious that you can't shovel it in fast enough. The eating utensil is not large enough to accommodate the volume of food you can eat in one bite. #FirstWorldProblems #GraProwKaiDow read more

Very delicious lunch for work, I tried the chicken pad see ew and was very much satisfied

I love this place. Go to place for good Thai. Love the Yellow Curry, among the best I've ever had.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Livermore. The food is very flavorful. The owner made a big impression when, on my second visit, she remembered what I had ordered on my first visit 3 weeks earlier. It is different on the inside than the usual Thai place--corrugated metal as wainscoting, Mason jars for glasses, and jazz music or 1940's big band playing in the background. read more

I ordered curry and asked for extra hot. Their solution: dump a bunch of chili flakes on it. Terrible. They have all kinds of weird crap (decorations) hanging on the walls. I kept banging my head into something at our table. Can't they hang that crazy crap higher up? The waiter dropped off the wrong bill at our table. They quickly corrected that and I paid. Then later they dropped off another bill! I had already paid! This isn't a big place, don't know how they can screw that up so bad. Lunch for two: $24.00 including tip. OK, but not thrilling. read more

Tom Ka Gai soup is fantastic. Egg plant tofu was delicious. Fest service and great people. Will is a great server! read more

Tin Thai Kitchen - Best Thai Food I've had! - Thai Near Me - Livermore, California

Worst food quality as well as quantity. $15 for such a small portion of food. I asked the person to make it spicy and instead of doing that the made it really dumb and bland literally no taste. Please don't waste your money on this restaurant. read more

Love this new find. Cute little place hidden in the strip mall behind the gas station. As soon as I stepped out of my car you could smell the wonderful aroma of this place. Maybe 15 tables inside - outside seating when weather permits. The decor inside reminds you of a grandmas country kitchen. We started with the Curry puff- yummy and ordered Gra Prow Kai Dow and Gai Prig Khing amazing. We also order a side of the crispy tofu yum. If you don't like spicy food this is probably not the place for you. They have all levels of heat and that's what I like - the hotter the better. Our waiter was great very helpful when we were ordering. We did try the coconut crème brûlée and it was DELISH. Love this place and would recommend it if you like Thai food. Bummer it's not open on the weekends! read more

Not worth your time or money. All I got served was cheap rice although I ordered chicken over vegetables over five in that order. The soup was so deluded and beyound tasteless. I've eaten at countless Thai places and this is probably the worse by far. The 4 or 5 star reviews are clearly not genuine. read more

I've come here for lunch quite a few times, and this place doesn't cease to disappoint! I get the thai ice tea to drink usually; its real sweet and refreshing at the same time. I'm curious how they make it with its unique taste. But anyway, i really like the steamed dumplings to start. It has a mouth full of flavor and comes with soy sauce and chili sauce mixed i believe, a good match for the dumplings. The Noodle Curry sounded interesting to me and i haven't seen this dish in other thai places before so, decided to try it out. I tasted it and it instantly became one of my favorite noodle dishes. I also had the sole fish in tamarind sauce and Gra Pow Kai Dow which are also recommendation worthy. The service was pretty good, the waitresses/ waiter were friendly and helped me find delicious dishes that i'll keep coming back to week after week. All in all, the overall package at Tin Thai Kitchen is astonishing and i cant wait to try out a new dish the next time i go! read more

I have eaten here a few times. Always good always fresh. If you like spice this is the spot for you. If you want to avoid it that too is possible. It's a fast pace place for lunch you can get in and out in 15-20 mins on a full stomach and a taste that will linger for the next 30 mins. I've been coming here for over a year and always consistent and delicious. Try coconut water. Very refreshing read more

In the throes of boring fast food joints comes Tin Thai Chicken with an all around experience for Thai food-loving patrons! I have only ordered take out, not yet done the dine-in experience. The staff's friendly personalities are warming and welcoming, the food always fresh and pleasing to the 5 senses, and every visit memorable. I usually order the sticky rice with peanut sauce and tofu-related items that satisfy my dietary choices, all of which fail to disappoint ;-) I would give this establishment 5 stars, but it loses one because card payments take too long to process (not everyone wants to carry cash on then), and they do have a rewards program where purchases can earn patrons a percentage off the nth purchase, or at least maybe free spring rolls. At the rate this business is growing, I do not see why they wouldn't' compensate their customers for the most recent price spikes. Not knowing the history of the business or the reasons for not having a rewards program in place, the latter should by no means stop people from experiencing Tin Thai Kitchen to its fullest glory. I recommend the Drunken Noodle for your first time! read more

Really good food and the decor of the place was nice. The Panang curry had a good amount of veggies which was great and the portion size was just right. My only complaint is the price. A $10 lunch special doesn't seem so special at first glance seeing a price with two digits since most places run closer to $8. After seeing the size of the meal and because you got more veggies than most places it was probably worth it, but I passed on the Thai iced tea since the meal itself was already $10. Hope this place is doing well since the food is great. read more

The staff is very friendly, the place is very cute and cozy with a rustic feel and the food is absolutely delicious. One of the few Thai restaurants I truly recommend. read more
