Their food is delicious except the Pad Thai, I don't know if it was the day I came in to have dinner but the noodles were dry. It wasn't flavorful as you would say. And also their thai tea was beyond sweet compared to the ones I drink at other restaurants. read more

The food here is very authentic and the environment is pleasant and humble. I have tried several of the dishes and have always been impressed. Don't forget to order the thai iced tea! I only dock them two stars for their waitstaff; the young lady who ALWAYS serves us is nice but perhaps a little unprofessional. I am more comfortable with the practice of asking customers about their food only once; in my last visit I was asked three or four times if everything was okay. I am hoping tin thai gets my subtle yelp tip. read more

Tin is my kind of place where you can get delicious Thai food without breaking the bank. I enjoy the Roast Duck Red Curry and the Chicken Drunken Noodle. You get good value for your $$'s read more

Tin Thai Kitchen - Yummy chicken dunken noodle so good - Thai Near Me - Livermore, California

The food is very good but the customer service is bad. The ladies at the front counter taking orders have no customers service and speak to paying customers very unprofessional. Eat well but be prepared for unpleasant service read more

I just heard about a new Thai resturaunt, thought we would give it a try. The service was impeccable, very friendly staff. The food on the other hand lacked seasoning , and was very bland. I had the fried rice with crab meat, it would've been good if it had pineapple to sweeten the dish up. As I said the best thing about Tin Thai resturaunt was the service. read more

Great service! Awesome food! Must try - skirt steak read more

I really wanted to like this place, but found it expensive and in general not that good. The fried rice was warm and not piping hot, somewhat greasy, and generally lacking in flavor. The spring rolls were flat out disgusting, and we would have never ordered them had we known they were mostly just cabbage & bean thread. The short ribs were a little salty but at least they tasted like fish sauce and peanuts. The whole fancy potato cube thing didn't do it for me though. The 2nd star is strictly for the short ribs. And I have never seen a tinier portion of sticky rice. read more

Ok this was just a to go order so all I can post is a review of the food nothing else. We tried several different items and we were pleased overall. For apps we had pork dumplings which were very good and chicken sate. The chicken was super dry and none of really at them. We them tried a crab fried rice which was good and a beef noodle dish which had fantastic noodles, the beef was super tender, but there was almost no flavor. So it was good enough to deserve another try but this time I'd like to sit and try it. read more

I am making my way around the Thai scene in Livermore. I finally made it to the far east (of Livermore) to dine at Tin and I am impressed. I started with Coconut water out of necessity and not because I like the taste of Coconut water. Somehow this kitchen has made Coconut water into a deliciously refreshing treat complete with pieces of coconut! The rival to their coconut water is their Thai Tea. Strong tea mixed with cream and a splash of sweetness, it's pretty darn good. I chose the Drunken Chicken for my entree because the name made me giggle. It was pretty spicy but not so spicy that I couldn't taste any other flavors. And those noodles...I could eat those large flat noodles all by themselves and be satisfied. My husband was kind enough to share his Pad Thai with me and that was also very good. Our meals were served by a very sweet waiter who was attentive and informative. For a strip mall joint, the decor is pretty great. Industrial elements with some old school character. This place is a good choice if you find yourself on the outskirts of Livermore. read more

Great food and pleasant service. We let the waitress recommend all of her best sellers. All were great and nice and spicy the way we love them. Had a nice bottle of Albariño with dinner and a great evening. Service was very fast as well. Looking forward to retiring and trying some more items. read more

First time I had Thai food and it was DELICIOUS! My grandma loves this place and took me because she rants and raves about how she won't eat Thai food anywhere else that comes close to their food. I also tried Thai tea for the first time and I loved it! I will definitely be back! read more

Food is average. This review is strictly for the owner. The hours and the owner's service is pretty bad. No pre-orders and she acts as if the customers are an inconvenient to her. What she should know... There are many Thai restaurants not too far away that actually value and cater to their customers. I've witnessed her attitude in the few times I've been to this restaurant. After the last visit, my friends and I have decided we will not return ever again. read more

One of my new favorite places , not only in Livermore but the entire Bay Area. The food was fresh and good as I've ever had. I had Gra Prow Kai Dow. I asked for it a 7 on a 1-10 scale for spicy hot The fried egg on top literally topped it off. My wife had yellow curry chicken. Both were amazing. The waiter came by and checked on us several occasions and was very attentive and suggestive of menu items. It is a small family owned restraunt ran by a husband and wife team. The setting was quiet , casual yet very classy. 5 star all the way. They have no problem preparing your dish with your specific taste in mind. We will return and often read more

Like others: great food, poor (to really poor) new customer service. I work nearby and used to go there for lunch on a monthly basis. Loved the food (still do) and also the small restaurant atmosphere and the good service. Somewhat busy at some times (which is the case for many good restaurants), but never had to wait insane amount of time... I have been there by myself after the rush hour, like 1:15 PM or so, and I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. Then this change of service.. like others have mentioned, cheap Burger-King feeling with all plastic-wares and cardboard plates (which hurts my eco-friendly feelings), on a tray that you have to return yourself. And also what looks like smaller portions and slower meal preparation time... I talked to the "cashier" (for a lack of a better word) today to give her my honest customer feedback, which I think any business should be eager to hear... Did not go that well for the whole "customer experience"... She said that the service was too busy before and they could not keep up with having only 2 waiters in the room dealing with the customers. So instead of reaching for better customer service, they decided to go the other way and make the customer service bad, without even lowering their prices. I mentioned to her that some customers may not enjoy this new atmosphere, and she basically said that this is OK, some people may not come back but others may... so much for the feeling of being loved as a customer... The claim also is that they now offer more wine and beer options.... which is of course irrelevant for the workers from nearby businesses who come here on a regular basis for lunch and could not care less about alcoholic beverages. At last, service was actually slower today, despite this new organization and the fact that they were only a handful of customers. Way to go Tin Thai :-( read more

Was here in the area for a day trip - Excellent food, fast, not too expensive. Seems to be a family restaurant. I always like to see that.

The yellow and green chicken curry with brown rice is fenominal! I can eat this everyday if I had to!

I don't know what to make of this place. It is ridden with contradictions. First, it is open only M-F for lunch and dinner, and thus closed on weekends, when so many people gravitate to eating out. This is so unusual that one wonders how they can sustain their business since Vasco Road is about as far from being a major culinary destination as you can possibly imagine. Second, though the little food I've had there has been excellent (with an exception I'll mention shortly), it is extraordinarily over-priced. I believe that this restaurant can only manage to stay closed at times of peak demand because it has somehow managed to gain acceptance for its very high prices on weekdays. Third, their menu is a large paper poster that is physically hard to handle, and it gets very filthy from all the hands that have touched it. Fourth, the lighting in the place is very harsh, consisting of what seem like blue light LED spot lights. Fifth, even during the day, the lighting is very unpleasant. Sixth, the restroom facilities are difficult to find. Seventh, the shape of the restaurant is long and narrow and the corridor to get to tables is narrow. The tables are tightly packed together. Eighth, there is a Caucasian 'wait-person' of the male persuasion who has the soft-spoken manner and gentility of a boatswain's mate on shore leave after two six packs of beer. Ninth, he was so utterly oblivious to how loud his voice was, and whether I needed additional service, while he was talking endlessly to some other patrons who were obviously his acquaintances, that I could not get his attention while I looked into the glare and could barely make out his silhouette. One another occasion I did have another wait person, a young woman, who was very kind. . So... The food? I had some soup several times that was the best I'd ever tasted. It was stunningly good. Another time I had a beef dish that I was told was only mildly spicy which I sent back because it was a 5-alarm fire, and I do like hot dishes. Thinking, after the first bite that maybe I had just gotten a hot patch, I tried another few bites. It was that way that they managed to sell me 5 iced drinks, which I got only after much delay and oral torture since no one was checking up to see whether I was OK. I sent the beef back and they gave me one without the four habanero chiles the first one had. It was very good but hard to enjoy when my mouth still felt like a smouldering ruin, and when I had consumed so much liquid to put out the fire. Summary: It's not just a poor rating because of a single unpleasant experience. Highly over-priced food (whose quality appears good but I'm unwilling to go back to sample further); inconsistent or lousy wait-service; inconvenient hours; harsh lighting; unpleasant interior. Why bother when there are so many other Thai restaurants more conveniently located? For their seeming disregard of their existing and prospective customers, I would give this place negative 5-stars if I could. read more

Very good family owned business!! The food is delicious!!! I have been here a couple of times, and ordered take out!! They're always so friendly!! read more

I love the coconut juice! They put the coconut meat in the drink to give it that "fresh out of the coconut" flavor. The curry was above average for sure. This is my new favorite Thai place in Livermore. read more

Phenomenal, fresh, food in a very cozy place despite the parking lot feel to the exterior. Definitely going back!

I love this place!! Excellent Thai cuisine with fast, friendly service. The last time I came here, I ordered yellow curry chicken with thai iced tea. I came after work, so there weren't a lot of customers in the restaurant, but they were VERY BUSY with take-out orders ... many people came in to pick up food orders while I was eating. The waitress made an effort to check on me several times and my yellow curry chicken dish was steaming the entire time! The potatoes and carrots were cooked to perfection. The portions are quite generous, I ended up getting a side of rice to go with the large amount of food I had leftover. I honestly thought they should charge a few dollars more, because the dish was pretty big and I'm used to paying $12-13 for the same dish at other places. Definitely recommend & I will be coming back here soon :-) read more

If I was in the area and wanted Thai this place wins, hands down. Super tasty Thai without being pretentious. Oh, the spice levels in the food are amazing. Perfect takeout place too. It maybe hard to find it though- tucked away in an inconspicuous strip mall, behind a gas station. Parking might be a bit hard as well read more

My family and I had lunch here over the weekend and everything from the appetizers to the mail to the Thai iced tea was excellent. I will definitely be visiting often for lunch during the work week. The prices and service are very good, and I love the decor. My kids liked the sweet and sour sole! read more

I work in Livermore and have been to Tin Thai a handful of times... bringing colleagues to share the enjoyment. The service is very friendly and the food tasty. The menu carries delicious examples of Thai street kitchen food. I know that they listen to their customers and update their menu to include healthy -even vegetarian and vegan - selections. I'm an omnivore and really like the duck noodles. Also, I like that their menu is different from Lanna Thai - also a great place. You can eat at one and then try the other later in the week and enjoy two Thai meals that are not clones of each other. read more

We ate the Duck noodles, green curry and Gra prow kai dow.This place was amazing!! If you are looking for some authentic, fresh and delicious flavors you need to try Tin Thai Kitchen. read more

First time we ate in this restaurant. Service is terrible! When we got there we asked if we can order our food while we waited to be seated. Some rude lady told us that they are too backed up and we have to wait till we were seated. After two of my friends got their food. we still did not get our utensils until we requested them -- we had to request them twice since the lady server totally ignored us. I ordered pad thai and it took them 30 mins. before I got my food. They said they forgot... My friends ordered the drunken noodles -- they were disappointed. One of them asked to substitute the chicken for shrimp and was charged $2 for ONLY 3 pcs. of shrimp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HORRIBLE SERVICE.......... BTW... If it were possible...we will not give this restaurant any STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I mean seriously, who the hell owns a restaurant and is closed on Saturdays and Sundays?!?! Food is amazing but not if you can't order because they're closed. There's never any parking and the staff can have an attitude at times. It's always a hit or miss. read more

Their chicken larb is good. We've been coming here more than 5x in the last 3 months, thought they are one of the better Thai food in the area, not cheap though, ordered 3 dishes for lunch and paid $45 without drinks. Plus their customer service today was not great. I found them rude today, no responses when I said thank you straight in their faces, not in a happy mood at all! Oh well. read more

One of the worst dining experiences. We came in a group of 18 people at 6pm on Saturday. The restaurant was empty at that time. We sat in 3 separate tables because we were a big group. People started coming while we waited our food. a few of us got their orders. The rest of our orders did not come. We waited for one hour while watching other people got their foods. We asked when our orders would come...they kept telling us 5 minutes. This restaurant deserves 0 star for poor service. We left without getting our orders for a waste of 1 hour of our time. Avoid this bad service restaurant read more

Warning: the Gra Prow Kai Dow is SPICY, and they won't tell you about the heat until it's too late. Quoth the waiter: "we like to let everyone experience what three stars feels like the first time" (even though I had verbally inquired about the dish rather than ordering it from the menu, and clearly hadn't seen the stars). No one even asked if I was OK as I sat in the back of the restaurant coughing uncontrollably and feeling like I was about to vomit due to the sheer HEAT that hit me in the first two bites. Maybe everyone is used to this, but in NYC, where people are known for their excessive kindness, care, and friendly driving, I'd at least get a token "are you ok?" And let me tell you, that three-star experience will stay with you all day the next day - you will be able to tell exactly where that mass of capsaicin is as it moves through your digestive tract. Thanks for ruining my flight back, Tin Thai. If you can get past the spice, it's actually a pretty good dish, though certainly not the lifechanging experience people have billed it to be. But I wasn't at all happy about the way that situation was handled. read more

Pretty good! Too many green beans in the basil fried rice, needed something else. But wonderful taste.

First time here and probably the last. Don't get me wrong the food was delicious, it's paying $80 for 3 people!!! That's just insane! The amount of food was small for the price, I was expecting much larger portions. read more

Crap service. Crap food. What else is there to say. Service was horrible. The server was rude, and she didn't even set the table for us. She just threw the cutlery on the table and said, "here you go....". Ticket time was excessively long. I ordered green curry with chicken and eggplant, and mango w/sticky rice. Everything was horrible. Chicken was rock-like and over cooked. Eggplant was soggy. The whole dish was overwhelmed by a huge amount of bamboo shoots. The desert Mango dish was watery. I have had mango w/sticky rice at many places and this was by far the most God awful mango dish that I have ever had. read more

Really delicious and fast Thai food! Try the Gra Prow Kai Dow, really spicy and has a fried egg on top, so good! Thai iced tea is amazing too. Cozy, quaint seating options and simple decor that isn't over the top. If you're reading this and considering giving Tin Thai a try, just do it! read more

I eat here 1 to 2 times per week. Best Thai food around. Never have not liked a menu item, service is usually quick. Worth the wait if there is one. Very authentic flavor and always fresh. read more

I'm updating my review, which I wrote when Tin Thai first opened and adding a star. As a vegan, I've been very pleased to see they have gotten a lot better at increasing their vegan options. I liked their pineapple stir-fry and the pad kee mao is also quite good. read more

I absolutely love this place! I decided about a year ago to give this place a try on a whim. I was tired of fast food, and wanted to try something a little different, So I popped in and looked over the menu. As I was unfamiliar with Thai food, I asked the waiter (really nice guy with long hair) what he suggested. He gave me a couple of options but said that the Grow Pow Kai Dow (sp?) was really popular and when he described it, I figured YES!!! That's what I want! It is a combination of rice (you can have it made with brown rice) minced chicken, red peppers, vegetables and a Thai style fried egg to top it off. The combination of flavors is so good, and the red peppers give it a nice kick! I like to wash it down with a cold Thai Tea! The tea they make is so far the best Thai Tea I have had! It can be a little pricey eating here, and one time I came with a group of 6 and though we were seated quickly and our appetizers brought out quickly, it took a long time for them to bring out our meals, specifically my meal. Everyone else had made it at least halfway through their meal by the time I was served. Even with that experience I still love the food and the staff at Tin Thai Kitchen. I just wish they had one here in Modesto! **there is a picture of the grow pow kai dow linked to the site already! read more

This place is awesome! The food is rich and flavorful and so delicious! Today we had amber shrimp and the massaman short ribs and the whole experience was amazing. Clean and cosy and airy dining area with a waiter that was so friendly and knowledgeable. We will definitely go back often! read more

First time here today and really liked it! Was in the area by Livermore and decided to give it a try since we were craving for Thai. Ordered the green papaya salad and it was perfect flavor! The green curry, basil fried rice and pad Thai were also delicious. Highly recommend! Also, great rustic decor. Will be back next time I'm by the outlets! read more
