Haven't had the best experiences with Thai food lately so I was hoping Won Thai would turn that around. They did not disappoint. They had Angel Wings as a special so I ordered that to go with Chicken Pad Kee Mao. The wings were crispy with a good amount of delicious stuffing. The Pad Kee Mao was the star though. So much flavor. It actually had the spice level I was looking for. Definitely recommend both dishes. With a 30 minute lunch, they prepare food quickly and is ready when they say it will be.
Underrated and overlooked esp with the Sues Kitchen and Thai Lao recently opened in Herc. But don't sleep on this place. It's definitely not fancy, but gives off more authentic vibes with the Thai tablecloths and buddhas on the wall. Reminds me of spots my Thai Aunt used to take me too. What was a turn-off was that dinner entrees do not come with rice, you'll have to pay extra for that which is like $2+. It can add up esp if you have a big group. One of the main reasons this place has a leg up over the rest is that they serve dessert AND have options! Their fried banana and ice cream is amazing! And they also have sticky rice and mango. I know we have plenty of options in the area, but this place is just as good and should not be overlooked!
At this point, I'm here once a week! I ate at the restaurant this time. The service was great. The server was attentive and polite. The tables were clean, and pre-set up. There were three other groups in there, so the noise level was moderate. By 2pm, the place has cleared out. Since I was there, I got to try out their spicy chili oil, which I enjoyed with my meal. It had great taste and didn't look like it was sitting in the pot for an extended period of time.
So, so yummy!! Everything we ordered from the menu was a hit. I recc the namkao, shrimp spring roll app, eggplant chicken, drunken noodle and fried shrimp rolls. This is what we got our last visit and none of these dishes missed. For something as simple as shrimp spring rolls, there was so much flavor packed into it and the peanut sauce was so good. I'm already craving it again. Do yourself a favor and give this spot a try.
I moved to the Hercules/Rodeo area about two years ago and I've always seen this restaurant. Being that I'm a big Thai food fan I should've stopped by a long time ago. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I stopped by today and let me tell you it was worth the wait. Best Thai food I've had in a long time. ! The Thai tea was on point! Most importantly, my plate was phenomenal. Hands down best Pad See ew I've had in my life. I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu !
I wanted some pad Thai and found this place and ordered some to go. The service was very good the lady greeted me very kind took my order. I waited less than 10 min it came out very hot. The food was very bland though and had no flavor at all it was a tad disappointing. I'd maybe give this place another try and try something else. I really liked that while I waited I looked around the place it was super clean loved how it was very simple decor and clean bathroom was very clean as well
I've been pretty spoiled with some delicious Thai spots when I lived in Oakland so I wasn't too impressed with the takeout I got from this place. Tofu spring rolls were mostly lettuce and weren't memorable in taste, pad thai and pad se ew were ok but they are probably better when freshly served- the noodles stuck together and were a bit bland, chicken eggplant basil was decent but didn't have much chicken. Granted, the food had sat for a bit but even after nuking it, it didn't improve that much. I would give it another shot but maybe I'll have to dine in to experience the real deal.
My friends and I (group of eight) decided to try out this Thai restaurant because our usual Thai restaurant didn't open for lunchtime on Saturdays. This is a really nice restaurant with reasonable prices and the portions are "just right" - not too much and not too little. The food is very tasty; there are a lot of vegetarian options available, as well as entrees including different meat choices. The atmosphere is peaceful, with soft music playing in the background and is nicely decorated. I have been here twice now (I brought my husband with me the second time) and both times the waitress was very attentive to our table, making sure we had sufficient water and asking if there was anything else we needed. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes Thai food - or who wants to try it for the first time. :)
Won Thai has saved me from my lunch hunger. I needed a place to eat for lunch since I am tired of eating Chinese Food. It has been months since I had eaten from this place. I had their Pumpkin Curry. It was amazing. The amount of food that I have gotten was worth making me full. Having it order ahead of time and picking it up was good because they did following guideline during the pandemic. The woman that run it was friendly which I was amazed about.
I suggested Thai food for lunch and Hubbers was a little elated with that idea since he's been wanting to try THIS place out. We walked in during a peak lunch hour and were delighted to find a few tables open. We were seated almost immediately. Since we both previously took the time to look at their menu online prior to coming through, we had a pretty good idea what to order. We also both knew we're gonna end up with a lot of leftovers but not an issue: leftovers are bomb! A side of soup was served to us almost immediately after placing our orders in. Above decent! A good tummy warmer! SEAFOOD FRIED RICE: This came out first which irked me just a bit. (I'll explain below.) But dang it, it was delicious. (For the record, my first choice was the crab fried rice which wasn't available for the day, so I settled for this.) The one thing that separates their version of this compared to others (and I'm not sure if I should complain about this or not) is that the amount of rice wasn't portioned to the seafood: there was more seafood than rice. I had a side of white rice that went with another dish, mixed it in with this and VOILA! It's like magic! This was pretty much a meal in itself. Highly recommending! APPETIZER COMBO: This arrived next which is why I was irked that the fried rice came out first. I just have this thing that appetizers should come out FIRST before anything. By the time I got to this, I had already had the fried rice. (I know, I know, I could have held out, but I was hAngry!) But every player on this plate was pretty much as expected and comparable/similar to most Thai restaurants. Decent at best. SOFT SHELL CRAB WITH GREEN CURRY: A first run for me. I've only had soft shell crab battered and fried as is, so trying it with green curry got me curious. Verdict: I liked it, more especially with the crispy fried basil leaves. Not sure I'd order it with the curry sauce again, though... PLA NUENG MA NOA: Steamed tilapia with spicy sauce on top. They weren't kidding about making it spicy, WHOA, that was a lotta chopped chili toppings! Hubbers liked it. So did I until it got a bit too spicy for me. If you're a spicy food fiend, this is definitely a must-try! PORK CHOP: Grilled tender and juicy! This is usually hit and miss at some places where it tends to get overcooked deeming it too tough to chew. But not here. Great marinade and seasoning. Me likey! FOOD: 4. SERVICE: 3.5. VALUE: 4. PARKING: Private lot shared with other eateries. Can be full during the lunch rush. There's also parking available on the side. OVERALL: 3.75. There are a few other things I'd like to try, so yeah, I find myself coming back BUT probably not before trying out a few more Thai spots near the area...
I was meeting with my close friend (the one who usually goes with me to eat out and try places) and he told me about this Thai restaurant by his place. Always down to try food, we drove to this restaurant. Parking was easy and spacious and seating was simple. We went in at opening, so we sat down right away. The table we sat on had their light a bit too high, but it was not too much of a bother. I already had in mind what I wanted to order, so we started with appetizers and a soup, prior to getting our entree. Tom Kha (Coconut Soup): I have had this before at other restaurants, so I wanted to compare it this place. Honestly, it was just alright. It had quite a bit of spice to it, since every soup spoonful had some peppers in it. The mushrooms and chicken were good, and the ginger and lemongrass had a nice herby flavor. But it didn't had the same sour taste I was expecting for this soup. It was a bit more sweeter than I would like. Appetizer combo: You get two of, Chicken Satay, Fried wonton, tofu, fried calamari, and spring roll. This was quite good and a nice starter. My favorite was the fried tofu with the sweet Thai chili for dipping. For the price, it is good to share between two people. Pad Gra Prow (Basil Chicken): Always my favorite at eating at any Thai place. I usually go for Basil "protein" or Eggplant "Protein". The Basil leaves added the flavor I expected from this dish and all the vegetables and chicken worked together. The only thing I was disappointed was the spice level. I wasn't asked (unless that cannot be changed) so it was rather mild in any spice level. If I could have made it spicier, I think the dish would have been perfect for me. Overall, I had a great time here. Food was good and company was great. I can see myself coming back here again. read more
After 8:00 takeout only !! The prices here are still reasonable here & the food is very tasty !! My go-to is the vegetable dish, Pad Jack in chili sauce w/ string beans plus added vegetables, my dining partner likes the mild yellow curry, it comes w/rice ...hostess/server is very pleasant & polite... it's always pretty chill here, not loud music or customers...plus the food is good & prices still reasonable - yay !! Usually takeout is about 10-15 min, read more
One of our favorite Thai restaurants in Contra Costa. The restaurant is quiet, relaxing, and has attentive service. The food tastes authentic and has lots of flavor. Everything tastes fresh and reminds me of Thai food in San Francisco. Our go to is the Bbq short ribs, beef pad kee mao, yellow chicken curry, crab fried rice, & banana ice cream. Honestly you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. read more

Went here a couple months ago with a friend of mine. The food was bland to me and lacked flavor. This is what I ordered: The fried chicken katsu over vegetable fried rice. Pro: you can order ahead for pick up. read more
We are in town for a business meeting and hangout out for few days. We had heard a lot about this place. A good friend of ours took us here. The food is really good here. I ordered ginger fish, Thai ice tea, and fried banana ice cream. The ice tea was exceptional. What makes this place standout is that the food here is not too sweet like many Thai restaurants. The chefs here has combined experience of 30 years on cooking Thai food. The staff here are very nice and friendly. This is definitely a place on the list for revisit to try other menu items. read more

Came in on a Saturday afternoon to order out. Prices are average and the place was empty. It's located in a small shopping center. I ordered Calamari, Pad Thai, Basil Fried rice and BBQ Chicken. Everything was good! my wife loved the calamari my favorite was the Basil Fried rice! Service it super fast, it only took about 10 min! I'd go again if I'm ever in the area! read more

This place was really good. My girlfriend and I didn't wanna stray to far from our home for dinner and she luckily found this spot on yelp! It's nestled away right off the freeway and has. A nice homey feel to it. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. We ordered pad Thai with chicken, yellow curry with chicken and rice. For an appetizer we ordered the Thai style potstickers which were so good!! The pad Thai had a great taste to it and the yellow curry was just right (we got the spice medium). The only gripe is I wish they gave ya just a bit more (we didn't have any leftovers, or maybe we were just super hungry?). Definitely will be back to this place soon to try more items off the menu here! read more

We've been to many Thai places, but this has become our go to favorites. We come to this spot at least once a week. Flavor is always on point and Coffee is delicious too. read more
It's 2:00pm and I'm starving, having just endured a brain beating courtesy of the national board exam. I hadn't eaten since 5am and had no more brain cells to spare. Thai food, particularly pad Thai, sounded quite delish. I was dropping off another fellow test-tester and decided to Yelp lunch spots in the area. This restaurant received 4 stars and seemed worth a shot. When I walked in, there wasn't a person in sight and then suddenly, a server popped out of nowhere. She was friendly and the food was made efficiently...then again, there were no other patrons so that should have been expected. Despite my level of hunger (creeping on hanger due to a headache), the food didn't blow me away. I prefer my noodles chewier (which I did request) and the sauce to be more on the sweet target than tangy side. I probably should have taken the lack of pad Thai photos as a sign that it wasn't one of their more popular dishes, but pad Thai is not only one of my comfort foods, I also use it to gauge the restaurant's authenticity. The price was reasonable, running under $9. If I find myself in Hercules, I may stop in and try a different dish, but this isn't a place I'd go out of my way for. read more

My family and I love going here for authentic Thai/Laos style food. Family owned business... service is great! Very attentive waitresses. Food is packed with flavors. My kids love their fried rice, fried chicken dish. Their papaya salad is so good. If you are feeling under the weather and need some hearty beef noodle soup... this is the place for some cure. Highly recommended. Family-friendly restaurant. read more
