I've tried the Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles. I always over the phone and every time it's ready within 5-10minutes. Highly recommend the Drunken Noodles! It's really good and flavorful. read more

Food was good. We ordered bunch of food. Service was average. Place was clean. I made 2 different orders, first with food which included green curry, tofu, pad Thai, egg rolls, crispy tofu and asked if I can tip later knowing we were going to order more. I went back and ordered mango sweet dish, and added $20 tip for the whole order. Before exiting, owner asked for tip from my family who was visiting us. Very unprofessional behavior. read more

We were returning home from SoCal and decided we wanted to pick up some Thai food on the way back. Decided to try somewhere new and "Yelped" a location off the freeway. Huge mistake! We ordered our usual: Shrimp Pad Thai, yellow curry with brown rice and grilled pork with rice. Upon arriving home, we discovered our take out was not only leaking, but the portions were tiny! And at about $47 for 3 dishes, it wasn't exactly cheap. As for the taste, the pad Thai was flavorful (although they used a very firm Chinese tofu instead of the usual spongy tofu), and the meat dish was very tender but small. Biggest disappointment was the curry as there was very little soup (not enough liquid to saturate any of the rice); mostly potatoes and veggies. Wish I had taken more photos of our "mini meal" but I was busy scrambling eggs because the kids were still hungry! read more

Great food, great service. Got the beef pad see ew - delicious and temperature was hot!! Good balance of noodles, protein, and veggies. I will say it could've used slightly less salt. Ordering over the phone was pleasant :) Will be back if I'm ever in the area again! read more

Good food and good service. We've had a positive experience in the past, but this time the Pad Thai wasn't as good as I remembered. It was a little over done with kind of a burnt taste. Maybe it was a new chef or something. I'll right it off as a one time thing and try them again. read more

The food was fresh and good. The servings were very plentiful and the price was very reasonable. The whole Staff and servers were very attentive. Offering refills on beverages and checking in to see if we were happy with our dishes once they were served. Overall they provided exceptional service to a crowd of 10 of us. The restaurant is clean and the atmosphere is friendly. This is a definite yes. I'm read more

Been going here for years! Great food and service tucked away back in Livermore! Give them a chance & try the pad see ew!

Food is FANTASTIC!!!!! Service is fast and friendly!!! Ambiance is good but it is a smaller restaurant so be sure to be patient if it is busy.....it is well worth it!!! Thank you Jane!!! read more

Sadly I am going to have to drop Tin Thai Kitchens rating. Over the past several years their food has varied wildly. From great, to bland, to almost inedible. I can longer take the risk of ordering here, nor recommend them. read more

I love the food. I don't want to eat any other place for Thai. It is a cute place and every dish is fresh.

Sooo good!! This place is a gem. Flavor exploded in my mouth. My waitress had a great personality and I felt like a regular although it was my first time here. Ordered: Crab fried rice Lemongrass shrimp soup Fried sole with carmelized chili sauce and bok choy Loved it all! Didn't need the soup after all but wasn't disappointed a bit. Can't wait to come back and try more. read more

Tin Thai Kitchen - Crab fried rice - Thai Near Me - Livermore, California

I hope you hear the heavy sigh as I'm writing this review. Sadly, really wanted to enjoy this place as it's close to work. However, several factors incited this very generous 2-star review: 1. Customer service: I called in an order for a shrimp pad Thai. I asked for jalapeños on the side. The lady taking my order tsked when I asked but said, "yeah okay" at my request. After she repeated my order to me, I was in the process of asking her if I could have them remove the peanuts (literally four words into my request) when she hung up. Flabbergasted by this lack of patience. Skipping to picking up the order, there was no jalapeños packed but plenty of peanuts. Crying in peanuts 2. Food: I'll break this up in two categories - A) taste and B) amount. A) Taste: I was three bites into my shrimp pad thai when I realized something was missing: flavor. It tasted *nearly* like nothing. Maybe a slight aftertaste of egg. But there wasn't that usual sweet and salty flavor you'd get. Rosniyom is a very solid alternative. Go there. B) Amount: I like to count my shrimps when I order shrimp anything. Guess how many were in this order? Remember when I said in #1 I only got in FOUR words before I was hung up on? I GOT LESS SHRIMPS THAN I GOT WORDS IN. How dare I dream that an order of SHRIMP pad thai have more than THREE (3) shrimps. Maybe if they were prawns that'd be okay? But like...maybe just call it 3 Shrimps Pad Thai so no one else gets sad (still crying in peanuts). I had to cut each shrimp in half so I'd have some shrimp in each bite. TLDR; only three shrimps with plenty of peanuts in an order of shrimp-pad-thai-please-hold-the-peanuts. Might get hung up on, but only after getting tsked. Go to Rosniyom. read more

The Yellow Curry is not what it used to be, the broth is gritty and not a smooth broth and the flavor lacks. This place used to be a great place to get your yellow curry fix but now I must venture on to another spot. read more

Tin Thai Kitchen - Thai Near Me - Livermore, California

I'm not usually the type to write reviews, but I haven't dine in a restaurant where the cost does not reflect the quality and quantity of the food to this level. Here are some of the few things I have experienced: -Drunken noodles have no basil but owner says it's finely minced mixed within the dish (lie) -This is what really prompted me to write this post an order of Spring Rolls that cost $7 for 3 piece looking lumpia (they didn't even bring me a proper dipping sauce but the ones you get from to go) !!! -I called it Service charge (but owner calls it tip) incorporated in the bill without informing the customer?! -Portions are tiny like...kid portions...you pay for $13 where you'll literally finish within 5 bites I really like the food in the past, but every time I come back, I can't help but notice all the 'adjustment'. It's a shame but this place had potential; I will not be returning as I will not be cheated on. read more

"Tin Thai" .. in Livermore !??!? While ordering, already rude to us. BTW- Owner Jean will charge you 18% tip before serving you - it's their policy (so she said). She is so rude .. when my friend and I got to our table, she came to us pointing at us and said out loud "you guys have been vaccinated right? You work for Kaiser" ... I lost some of my patience there, and to make the long story short - she said towards the end of our meal - "you're no longer welcome here", and I said to her "your employees kept leaving you coz they don't like you" "you have new employees everytime" ... hmmm basically, she used her middle finger and told me to "F'off". worst service ever. When I see anyone disrespecting or rude to my friend(s) - that's the worst for me. After she asked about us taking the covid vaccine, she came back moments later and I mentioned to her .. I ordered white rice not brown, ... that's when she said, you complained here before huh! Me: I ordered white rice but that's ok, she continued to argue with me (I had to tell her to leave us so we can eat) she wouldn't leave our table ... then she just placed the food on our table or basically just dropped it on the table rudely while we were eating. If you're looking for Thai place in Livermore, this is not the place. 18% policy tip prior to serving you!?!? Stay away from that. read more

It's unassuming as it is in a small strip mall near a lot of business parks. But the food is worth your effort to go! Tried them twice during this Co-vid 19 time and it just involves calling in your order and telling them the time you will pick it up. They have everything bagged and ready to go. We have enjoyed their kow soy immensely (hard to find this dish in many restaurants) and their curries are excellent as well. Not the same taking it home but it's a tasty treat on our take out nights! read more

Tin Thai Kitchen - Covid takeout. kana moo grab (top dish), green papaya salad, kow soy, gang per yarng. - Thai Near Me - Livermore, California

First time trying Tin and we got drunken noodles, shrimp pad Thai, and papaya salad. Everything was delicious but the papaya wasn't marinated quite enough. Not a huge deal because we got some chili sauces from them and I just ended up dumping that in. Docked rating because we ordered the shrimp pad Thai but it ended up being chicken. We weren't informed of this substitution and didn't even really notice until the end of our meal. It sucked because we got take outs and there was nothing we could do by the time we caught the mistake. Chicken as a protein is usually cheaper at other Thai places so we do feel like we got ripped off. read more

It's just funny to me. I asked for the veggie noodles. But the lady said it comes with sweet and spicy sauce and I said I don't want no sweet sauce, only spicy and she goes oh ok then we have other kind for you. I said ok and she gave me totally something else not noodles at all. On the menu it looked like duck noodles. But that's ok. But when its time to pay SHE PUT HER OWN TIP AND GAVE ME THE TOTAL I'm like what the hell.!! Not done And I ended up paying almost 18$ for my food read more

Ordered to go on my way home from a work trip and it was ready when I arrived, which was great because I was very hungry. The woman who helped me at check out was very sweet and efficient. The curry puffs were fantastic - so much flavor. The pad Thai hit the spot but the shrimp were overcooked. I would definitely check them out again and try different things on the menu. read more

I'm not a Thai food expert, but this place is delicious. It's actually made me super interested in Thai food. Everything I had had was delicious, pad thai, curry, and so on. This place is also right next to my house. The food in Livermore is average at best and this place is DELICIOUS and very reasonable prices. And folks who are super picky, come on now... we gotta' support the good places if we want good food in Livermore. I also love the decor. Each meal is like a warm hug. Take out isn't too bad either. I will go back many times, for sure. Yum! read more

Tin Thai Kitchen - Thai Near Me - Livermore, California

Outstanding place to eat. I highly recommend this place. Their ambience is really nice and relaxing and are very quick to bring your food. Food is excellent. You order your food at the front (which is great for company quick lunches) and then get seated. Sometimes, when it's not so busy, the waitress will seat you and then take your order. It likely depends on how busy they are. As for RACIAL PROFILING, the review from "J.R." from San Mateo is complete B.S. If you want to know how CNN and all the other propaganda news media can manipulate your mind, jut read J.R.'s post. Nobody singled you out because of the color of your skin! You paid up front likely because that is their lunch procedure, and maybe others showed up early and were waited on because at that time was slow. Did they say some derogatory things towards you? Likely not! Do better for your kids sake. If you scream everything to be racist, you are doing more harm than good for your kids you surround yourself with. I'm sure you are smart, but use logic, not emotion. read more

I'm adding another star because we have become big fans of the spicy Drunken Noodle Chicken and the lunch favorite Gra Prow Kai Dow (basil stir fried minced chicken (or beef) over rice with fried egg). If you can handle the heat, then you just have to try these. The Amber Shrimp has been quite a revelation and has become another solid option for us. The Beef Pad Se-Ew, cooked in sweet soy sauce, is also recommended. We promised to be back and that has been the case for the past six months... read more

The worst customer service. My husband I were with our toddler on our way from San Francisco airport. We were starving and decided to have Tin Thai as my husband like this place. But unfortunately it all changed today due to the poor customer service by the lady ( seems like she's the owner also) When we entered at ~3:50pm the sign said take out orders only till 4pm. First we thought we'll order now and when food will be ready by 4pm, will sit out and eat.. We were denied. We needed some energy to wait, so decided to order Thai Tea to go. We were denied. Than we had to explain we are taking Thai Tea TO GO, after some back n forth she gave us Thai tea. And literally kicked us out and locked the door. This should have been the sign to not come back here. My toddler has food allergies and therefore we are limited with option. We need the food to be dairy free and gluten free. Thai food has some options that cater my toddlers needs: sticky rice and bland boiled rice noodles. My husband is also sensitive to dairy. So we ended up ordering eggplant tofu, pad Thai chicken, sticky rice and boiled noodles on side with fried egg. Eggplant Tofu was really good. However pad Thai smelled super bad, like the poultry used is expired. We have been to this place previously, so we know what pad Thai is all about. But the owner came with attitude, didn't try to listen what we are saying. They almost yelled at us for calling out their Pad Thai bad. Became super argumentative. My husband tried to explain that he's been here before and before he could finish, she said " you are lying, you have never been here before and yelled " I will have to throw pad Thai away" Chef came out from the other side and gave us an angry glare. On top we were lectured about they have been in business since 2011 and know what they are serving. We didn't wanna eat there anymore. We really wanted to pull out our statements to show how many times we have been to their place. To run a restaurant with good food you also need some good customer service. We did not tip. On top we were further lectured about not tipping the server. Mind you, I had asked a water cup with lid for my toddler and we never received one. If the owner is so worried about server's paycheck, the owner should pay the server well and not try to get tip out from customers when cannot even talk politely. Im a big tipper, I have given $25+ tips at restaurants, but it all comes down to food, ambience and most importantly CUSTOMER SERVICE! The lady owner turned on her phone with recording as if we have done something wrong and wants to report us. And literally walked out behind us saying: Don't Come Back here". What a shameful experience. Her yelling almost traumatized our toddler. read more

Revisiting in Livermore and looked up Thai restrauants and came here to try their food. Small place limited seating. Most of the customers that came on were picking up take out. I thought the spice level was good and not excessively hot. Might be for kids or those who've not experienced Thai food before. The taste and texture was good and we'll be back. On the negative side: at here was an 18% Service fee for eat-in dining and a can of Coke was $3. The fact that I had to order and pay for my food at the counter first was service I'd never pay a gratuity of that much. Food delivery to the table was basic and non-remarkable. Despite the negs the food was good. Not far from the freeway if you're traveling. read more

Since my last review, I've been back several times. I stick with the two dishes that I like and are well made here: gra prow kai dow and pad see ew with shrimp or chicken. Of all the Thai restaurants I've tried in Livermore, Tin Thai has the most fresh and flavorful food. To get fast service and easy parking nearby, it's best to arrive before noon. read more

Tin Thai Kitchen - Pad see ew with chicken. Noodles are always super fresh. - Thai Near Me - Livermore, California

Hands down the BEST Thai place around. Don't let its location fool you. We used to come here for lunch and have been getting take out recently with the lockdown. Authentic Thai flavors and dishes without MSG. Spicy dishes do pack a kick. Some highlights of dishes we've had and favorites. Kow pad poo (crab fried rice) uses real crab. Green papaya salad is SPICY and sour. Still very good but be careful not to eat the chilis Gra prow Kai Dow is very popular for lunch. Wash it down with some Thai iced tea Daikon cake is a nice appetizer to share. Crispy and not too heavy. Spicy beef basil isn't as spicy as you'd think. It's a little sweet even read more

Order for a to-go! A pad kee mao and Tom yum soup. Charged me $9 for Tom yum soup, I was ok! Untill I came home and opened the soup box and felt disappointed....! I must say noodles was good but it didn't take off the dissapointment I had for soup, literally it just contained flavored water with mushrooms pieces in it. For $9 soup, first the quantity itself was too small and 2nd, no veggies , no tofu, no lemongrass flavor. Don't ever waste ur money on their Tom yum soup unless you are happy with tiny pieces of mushroom in it. read more

A nice little gem tucked away in a strip mall. We got Pad Thai, Red Curry with Beef and Duck noodle. All three were really, really good. The prices were in line with what is being charged for these dishes, namely $14 - $15 each for lunch. The Thai Tea was great too as was the service. I can highly recommend this restaurant for good quality food at decent prices. read more

My Husband and I have been here twice now and to be completely honest didn't leave much of an impression either time that I have a great deal to say about the place. The food is ok, the service I recall was good and overall we both came to the conclusion that it was ''fine'', a little disappointing but not bad. For example both the Yellow and Red Curries lacked spice and the Rice dishes a little bland. An ok place in a fix otherwise not somewhere I wouldn't go out of my way to return to. read more

I love this place. We found it by chance, but what a lucky chance it was. I had the pork with sticky rice- wonderful! My husband had the skirt steak- and loved it. For dessert I had the jackfruit ice cream- what a treat. The service was outstanding, and I can't wait to go back. I want to work my way through the whole menu. Every dish i saw go by looked fabulous. And did i mention that the prices are very reasonable? read more
