Divine Thai lives up to its name! We had the Pumpkin Curry and the coconut soup and the pad thai and everything was very very delicious!

We stopped in for lunch, thought we'd try some place new, and boy were we pleasantly surprised! First, we were warmly welcomed by Cat, our delightful server. Then, we were presented with the menu, which had not only many of the typical Thai dishes, but some we haven't seen elsewhere. The several dishes we ordered were delicious! This looks to become another favorite of ours! read more

We were at the Madonna Inn and someone there recommended this place for Thai; it was amazing! A little hole in the wall, fantastic restaurant. The portions were generous, the spices perfect, and the waitress so genuinely bubbly it was a pleasure to talk to her. We'll definitely go here again! read more

Bad service! Had lunch with a bunch of friends. Got seated, then server got rude with us just because of our seating arrangements. When you come out to eat, you expect respect from others not get treated like we were a nuisance. read more

Best Thai food in the central coast. The guy that took my order Friday night gave great suggestions. Pad Thai, chicken pumpkin curry and Spicy eggplant pork were all fantastic. Highly recommend read more

Divine Thai was an exceptional experience. Perhaps it was our friendly waitress or the authentic feel of the clay pot with all the shrimp and goodies in it. Everything was spot on, even the Thai iced coffee. I'll be back for dinner to see what else they have in store. Yum! read more

Very solid Thai food. The free soup, that comes with a check-in, was delicious and I will go back for it. Pad Thai was very delicious as was the bbq chicken. Pumpkin curry was pretty good. Good service as well. read more

Vegans and vegetarians will dig this place. They have faux meats and great tasting curries. Lunch is under $10 per person and they're just a few blocks from the beach. read more

Came here with a friend looking for someplace new and delicious and they certainly delivered. I've driven by this place a bunch of times and never even noticed it! We ordered enough food for four people: appetizer sampler, sticky rice, pork param, and cashew chicken. I couldn't even begin to debate what was best. We ate all of the sampler and enjoyed both entrees and had left overs to take home. Everything was fresh, flavorful and just the perfect amount of spice. The staff is so friendly and quick. Can't wait to go back and try out more items off their menu! read more

I've been there at least 6 times over the last few years. Food quality is ok but no matter what you ask for your going to get a lot of sugar and bell peppers. The only 2 things I cannot eat. read more

We had takeout & it was tasty! The Pumpkin Curry was good (big chunks with chicken) the Mussaman Curry was divine! A flavor we couldn't quite name but so, so good. Thai salad a little less tangy & shrimp not so perky, but good. Service was expedient. Good place. read more

The only That place in Five Cities that know what they're doing. Staff is always friendly and accommodating and flavors are on point.

Delish! Soft tofu. Yummy pad see ew (pretty spicy tho) and uber spicy pumpkin curry. Rice extra. Delish!!!! And delivery with forks and chopsticks! And Thai iced tea. It was lovely. read more

Zero stars. We never had a chance to try the food!We came in around 7:45pm, had to wait for a little for a table because it looked like there was only one person working the tables and cash register. She had to clean off a table for us. Once we were seated we had to wait a few more minute for her to get us the menus. We waited half-an-hour until she came back to take our order. By this time there was another sever on the floor, but she didn't even look at us. We put in our order and waited for almost an hour with not even our appetizer in sight. Neither waitress came to check in on us or even looked in our direction. Finally, the person I was with went up to talk to them. Turns out the kitchen never got our order. She asked if we wanted to cancel it, and we decided to leave. read more

The jury's still out on this place. I'm definitely going to give them another try because I suspect that they've got a number of good dishes. Everything I saw certainly looked good. Since it was my first time there I did their appetizer sampler and their claypot, thinking that I would have to use takeout boxes for the extras. The appetizers were pretty tasty but they were almost too perfect-looking. I'm not sure whether the fried stuff might have come from a big bag they bought at costco. My apologies if I'm wrong. The claypot was yuck. True, I'm used to vietnamese claypot, slow cooked until the onions and broth carmelize the rice. Maybe they do it different in Thailand? This was just fluffy rice scooped into a claypot with lightly stirfried chicken and vegetables in a sauce poured on top. It just didn't seem like an effort was made. The worst thing was that the claypot dish smelled like pee. Not kidding you. Smelled like urine. I took a few bites and had to stop because it grossed me out. I'm not sure what the flavoring was and maybe the problem was just me. Since it's very possible that this dish was very authentic and it's just to me, I'm not going to dock them any stars for that. I just need to be honest that it made me very uncomfortable. I promise that I'll be going back and trying a few other dishes. I'll be happy to upgrade my review after a more positive experience. If anyone else has had their claypot and wants to defend it, feel free to send me a note. I'm interested in what others have to say about it. read more

Super fresh ingredients and very authentic! They are always very accommodating when I go with co-workers on our lunch hour, to make sure we can get back to work on time. read more

Thank you Carolyn for the suggestion. Nice small and clean restaurant. Service was kind and attentive. CJ said to try the pumpkin curry, and it did not disappoint. No, this is not a "jack-o-lantern" type pumpkin, but a squash that was very similar in texture and flavor to a sweet potato. The red curry sauce it was served with was awesome. Started off with the fried tofu, and saved most of it to dip in the pumpkin curry sauce...large dish of tofu by the way. Ordered the Pad Ka Kraw, "drunken noodle" in my local Thai joint, and the flat noodles with pork, basil, and spicy gravy was awesome!! If I am ever craving Thai when Im visiting, this will by my first stop. Steve out. read more

My favorite Thai restaurant on the Central Coast. I have lived in. Thailand and know what real Thai food is like. This restaurant is fast friendly, and priced right. Huge portions and on to go order they pack it so it won't spill. Free Thai coconut soup if you Yelp!!!! read more

Great Thai food at fair prices. Very accommodating with special requests. The duck is great. Wendy is the best!!

Randomly decided to go here for lunch on Christmas. Wasn't in the mood for chinese and we prefer Thai anyway. It was the only nearby Thai place open so off we went. Service AND food was much improved this time and based on my second experience, I *will* be back. They got my order right and it tasted great. Maybe not quite as good as Thai Kitchen still, but right up there. My mom had a pumpkin basil curry that I sampled and thought was very good. Delicately flavored, refreshingly basil-infused, and generally tasty. I very rarely give restaurants a second chance but I am glad I did here. read more

The good: The Thai beef salad and the Thai ice tea were delicious. The service was also really good. The bad: Thai BBQ chicken was absolutely awful! I've never had a drier piece of chicken. It must of been laying around for a day. read more

Recommend the coconut juice ! Served in a coconut. Took 15 minutes to order, 45 minutes to get water and 50 minutes to get food. But it was delicious. Pumpkin curry was great read more

Divine Thai - Thai Near Me - Grover Beach, California

My family and I got hungry after atv and wanted some Thai food. Surprisingly, there were a lot of Thai food around the area. We were on the way to sister but missed the turn so we went to divine instead. Divine is on the corner and the place looked pretty janky. Parking wasn't too shabby, and wasn't hard to park, there were street parking available too. Service was ok. Our waitress didn't speak English very well so we had a tough time trying to get our message thru. She was always smiling though so it was hard to get mad/frustrated. It took them a really long time to clean our table, and awhile for them to get us water and order food. Food came out really slow. Felt like they were short staffed due to the wait. We ordered chicken egg roll but we couldn't even taste any chicken. The Thai dumpling was like dim sum but wasn't bad. Our steam mussels were delicious. Too bad they didn't give us the spice condiments bc I feel like it would taste 10 times better. We also had sweet Thai salmon, salmon was on the dryer side but the sauce was good to taste. Taste like sweet and sour sauce. Our spicy basil seafood was spicy, but to everybody's liking. Warning: pretty spicy. The best dish for me was the yellow chicken curry. The curry was so good and had the perfect spice to it. Perfect with white rice. Pineapple fried rice was ok to me but too much unnecessary spices. My brother and gf liked it but it wasn't my fave. We also ordered 3 Thai tea and 1 Thai orange flavor tea. I wouldn't recommend the Thai orange only because it was way too sweet and tangy. We had to add more water to dilute it. The food wasn't bad at all, but I wouldn't go there again. read more

Divine Thai is not much better than Sister Thai, also in Grover Beach. as you enter the little restaurant, the first thing noticed is the dated and dusty decor with plastic plants. The whole place smells of grease, although not as bad as Sister Thai. The only redeeming factor was our waitress, a smiling, gentle, young woman wearing a traditional Thai skirt. The food was edible but not much more than that. It was all fried, no fresh summer rolls. We tried the tofu with spinach and peanut sauce. The tofu was yummy but the peanut sauce was thick, clumpy and just congealed on the plate. The pineapple fried rice was good, but not great. We took our left overs but tossed them later when we realized we couldn't go through that eating experience again. Sorry, Divine Thai. If you up your game by deep cleaning the dining room, tossing the plastic plants and curio case, updating the space with some bright colors and gorgeous Thai art, and freshening the menu, you will be perfectly poised to bury your competition. Take a look at Sa Bai Thong in Madison WI for some ideas... Until then, I'm going to eat somewhere else. read more

Great place to have lunch or dinner when you are really craving for some nice food. We were impressed by the service and food and decided to go again on the second day of our stay in this area.On the first day we had red and green curry and on the second day, we chose fried rice. Do try their multigrain brown rice, it is really nice compared to many other places I have tried. Ginger Tea is a must have. Loved the warm ginger tea after a long tiring day at Big Sur area. This place is a must go in the nearby area. Divine Thai you are doing a good job ! read more

I would love to go back this place. My favorite is the green beans chicken. The spicy is good for my taste its not that hot. And the restaurant is not that far for my place we rent. We can just walk go there and it's. Is you check yo yelp you can have 1 free coconut soup. It's very yummy read more

My favorite Thai place in the area! I've tried other Thai places in the five cities, which are also good by the way, but this is my favorite. Best coconut soup! Really, I haven't tried "everything" but I can say that "everything" that I've tried has been absolutely delicious... Just saying read more

I've been coming here for many years and I have to say this is my favorite Thai restaurant in the 5 cities. Polly, the owner, is very nice and hardworking. Sometimes they take a while if you're dining in because they're understaffed but I think it's worth the wait and they're always respectful about it. The food is awesome and so is the service. I would highly recommend this place. read more

I absolutely love this place! I feel right at home in this place....I always get greeted with a smile, and my food is always made to perfection. read more

Love this place!! There isn't much variety in the flavors (I think they use the same base for a lot of their soups/curries) but it is all FRESH. Service here is all wonderful too! The staff are so nice and accommodating you feel very taken cared of. I get takeout about once a month because of how great the food is. Best Thai in town! read more

I was visiting from out of town and decided to try this place out after checking it out on yelp beforehand. The food did not disappoint but I take one stars out for slowness of service (it took a long time before they actually came to take our order, bring us water, bring our food, etc, etc., etc.) My boyfriend and I ordered their pad thai and pumpkin curry. My boyfriend actually liked the pad thai I made better but thought it was fine (it tasted like other pad thais I've had in Thai restaurants whereas the only other pad thai he's had was the one I made for him). He liked the pumpkin curry better. I ordered it with vegetarian duck in it (which I tried for the first time and as I am a fan of vegetarian meat in general I was impressed that they had that option and it does look like duck meat. Between the two of us the amount of food we ordered between the two of us was just right. I also thought the size of the restaurant was also not too big or too small. read more

We tried this place for the first time yesterday, and while service was slow because it was busy, I would go back. Food was good. We asked for our food spicy and they actually made it a little spicy! I enjoyed my pad j. The inside is pretty small and the price seems average for the area. I still prefer other Thai places, but I recommend you try it to see if it fits your tastes. read more

Glass noodles with shrimp were delicious. Served dry with black fungus. Very nicely done. Pumpkin curry with seafood was delicious. The portions were generous, seafood was ample, authentic flavors and attentive, friendly service. They don't sell alcohol so it's BYOB. read more

One of the best Thai places I have ever been to. The food is so fresh and made to order. My wife is from the Philippines. There are a lot of similar dishes to phil cuessene that suit her taste. She loves it and she is picky. If dinning for two Share an entree and a pot of soup ... I would go there for there Thai ice Tea (Milk-Tea) alone. Yummy yummy read more

Good red curry.. i love the broth.. and plenti size of pad thai.. I got free coconut chicken soup while check in here.. nice.. Awesome service.. very nice.. will come back! read more

Loved this restaurant. It is a very small place close to the beach, about a 5 minute drive. The food at this restaurant was delicious, I loved the yellow curry and panang curry in particular. Did not try any of their rice or noodles but I am sure they must be really good too. The service at this place was really slow. I guess they had just 1 person who was managing all the tables. So we had to wait for about 25 minutes before someone came to take our order. That is the only complaint I have from this place due to which they will not be getting 5 stars from me! But all in all delicious food. read more

Well it has been a while since we have dined here. After this evenings dinner we were reminded why. The service was quick and attentive 5 stars. The yellow curry could have been dessert. It tasted like the sugar cube I would sneak into my mouth as a child. The chicken was dry an definitely precooked to cut down on preparation time. The curry lacked flavor and balance. The Pad Thai was sweet and also lacked garlic, tamarind and flavor in general. I did have room for dessert but due to the overwhelming sweetness of our entrees we declined. We will not return. read more

This is such authentic Thai food. Divine Thai was one of the best Thai spots I've found in SLO County. The food arrived so fast and the service was fantastic! read more

Great local favorite, the food is great. They serve their food in the traditional Spice meter of their country - so Medium for them is spicy for most traditional American Palets. If you are feeding children - keep it mild. read more

Two days of burgers, pizza, italian and we were craving for some thai food on our babymoon :) And Divine thai delivered more than our expectations. Food was delicious and my favs here are: Tom Yum soup ( extra spicy), chef kept the flavor intact although we asked for more spice ( Kudos for that!), Basil Shrimp beautifully done, Spicy fried rice was also not too spicy yet very tasty. We also tried the desserts, my personal fav was Coconut ice cream and my wife loved the mango sticky rice. Overall a good choice around pismo beach area. read more
