    Exceptional service, checked in on us, refilled water, boxing of food. Pad Thai 4/5 Khao Soi 4/5 Green curry 2/5 bland and no flavor, but spicy Overall 3.5/5 but round up for the great service Cozy seating area, limited plaza parking, glass window into the kitchen Thanks!

    Pad thai (seafood)
    Angel N.

    I ordered the Pad Thai (seafood) and Pad See Ew (shrimp), and the total came out to about $50. Unfortunately, both dishes were pretty underwhelming. Everything tasted just okay, very mediocre overall. The Pad See Ew had a weird bitter aftertaste that made it hard to enjoy. The Pad Thai was also disappointing; the noodles were clumped together and lacked flavor. We didn't finish either dishes. For the price, I expected much better quality and taste. Probably wouldn't come back.

    Beef pad see ew, tom kha soup, Roti
    Eve N.

    Small restaurant and you can hear conversations from the other side of the room. I enjoyed the shrimp tom kha soup. It had a slightly spicy kick to it. The roti came with dipping sauce and diced cucumber (slightly pickled). Beef pad see ew came with eggs, where most of the salt/flavor was seeped into, and the beef was a bit dry for my liking. Service was quick? but I didn't enjoy our plates being moved/touched after we've already eaten from them and after a server had been moving tables.

    Roti was delicious

    5 years later and this remains my first Thai spot. Service is beyond great and the food is still the best! I have yet to find another place in the south Bay with better Khao Soi!

    We tried the new Lao Combo Som Tum salad this time and it's so flavorful! The sweet crab is very an interesting ingredient, crunchy and juicy, it adds to the overall flavor profile, very similar to the Korean raw marinated crab. Other dishes are delicious as always, we'll be back soon!

    Delicious Thai food with a comfortable and dog friendly outdoor patio! We went on a Saturday afternoon and there was no line. We ordered the roti, crispy pork belly, sausage, Laos style papaya salad, and a khao soi to share between 3 people. All of the food was absolutely delicious but we felt like the portions were a little small for the price. The pork belly and sausage were both ~ $23 and didn't come with as many pieces as we thought it would. This was some of the crispiest roti I've ever had! I loved the curry dipping sauce on the side and the nice crunch of the cucumbers. The pork belly was slightly overcooked, a little hard but the flavors were great! The sausage tasted house made, it had a great tang to it and I loved the variety of dipping sauce. We ordered extra spicy/hot for the Laos papaya salad but it was definitely medium. The khao soi was very comforting on a cold day and the broth was rich and creamy. I'd definitely come back if I was in the area!

    We were looking for a late night dinner spot when we landed on Khaosan Thai, and I liked it sooo much more than I thought I would going into it haha. Service was quick and friendly, and everything we ordered was delicious! The food highlights: + Chicken Satay (3/5) ($16): Comes with 4 skewers and toast. The chicken was good but missed that grilled "char" flavor I was hoping for. The sauce it came with helped to elevate it though. + Roti (5/5) ($12): The texture of the roti here was craaaazy. I'm always here for a good crunch and this had it! My only con was how small the curry sauce container was lol. Hard to share + dip + Curry Puffs (4.5/5) ($12): Comes with 3. The puffs were nice and flakey and the filling was packed with a punch of flavor! + Ka-praw (5/5) ($22): We got the beef one. This was SOOO good! The flavors were bold and peppery. I think if you order this, you have to get rice since since it does have a good kick lol. Ambiance-wise, it does feel a bit compact here; I'd probably get takeout in the future. Food came out quickly and service was friendly!

    First time at Khoisan Thai with a party of 3 and was pretty disappointed. The service started off bad, waiting for water for about 10 minutes and having to ask for it. Orders were taken pretty quickly but the food came out slowly. Friend got his dish first and we had to wait for our mama noodles. I got the mama noodles with tofu instead of pork and the tofu was a bit cold so they just plopped it on top. The lady next to me got her food before another table that came before her. Probably won't be back. Indoor and outdoor seating

    Boat Noodle
    Amelin N.

    Came here on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. Parking was really hard to find so I parked in the neighbourhood behind. Did not have to wait to get seated though. Ambiance was chill, nothing crazy, not too loud, not too quiet, basically families on weekends. Thai tea - pretty basic Thai coffee - seemed strong (bitter-ish), but no heart palpitations Boat noodle - eh, tasted "medicinal", but also no flavour at the same time Pad thai - very good, good amount of shrimp too Tom kha - a tad spicy for my liking but my tolerance for spice is wack. so it's probably honestly perfect for everyone else. it was very good, i thoroughly enjoyed it and loved the amount of mushroom and onions in it Crispy pork belly - A little salty, and a lot of fat, great skin, sauces that came with it were flavourful. Sticky rice that came with it was hard and dry Was gonna also order one of the papaya salads, but their spiciness level is fixed and they mentioned that it's SPICY, so we didn't get it. In general, dishes were on the pricier end with most dishes closer to 20$ or more.

    Stir fried eggplant with beef
    Marian Y.

    We ordered three dishes to share: Pineapple fried rice, barbecued chicken, and stir fried eggplant with beef. Food was great and tasty. Liked the presentation as well. I particularly liked the pineapple fried rice and the barbecued chicken. The resto has a nice casual and clean setting. I'm only giving 4 stars because of service. Our server may have missed noting down our third order so the eggplant was delayed.

    Papaya salad w/sticky rice
    Meng E.

    My friend and I wanted to grab something with lots of veggies after walking for the afternoon. We decided to try a new place and picked Khaosan Thai after looking through Yelp. The menu had a variety of items/dishes that looked promising, but we stuck with what we're familiar with since that's what we were craving. We ordered the papaya salad which came with sticky rice, the tom yum noodle soup (spicy) for me and pad thai for my friend. The restaurant was relatively empty - only one other group - when we got there around 6 on a weeknight. However, it filled up while we were eating and there were also lots of to-go orders being picked up. The inside had cute decor and it was a good ambiance to have dinner as the music was light and relaxing. We both enjoyed the papaya salad - light, refreshing and with a decent amount of kick at medium spicy. I really liked my tom yum noodle soup - the broth was sour and hot (temperature wise), but I would have liked a bit more spice. I've never had an egg in my tom yum before, so that was new. I enjoyed the crispy wonton and ground chicken. The rice noodles were broken up for some reason and not quite cooked enough for my taste. My friend's pad thai took quite a long time to come out - I was almost done eating by the time it was brought out - and she had filled herself up on the papaya salad. She did enjoy the pad thai and I also think it had good flavors as well. Overall, a good solid new Thai place to enjoy. I am definitely going to add it to my list of regulars!

    My friend took me here for a late birthday lunch. We arrived on a Sunday and was seated pretty quickly. We ended up getting pork belly, pad thai, drunken noodle, and a few other things. This place is pretty good and I enjoyed the spice of the meals. It's no frills thai and a good one at that. The inside was pretty cool, they allowed the door to stay open so the breeze felt like you were eating outside. The service was good and so was the food. I would come here again.

    Tom Yum Soup
    Henry C.

    It's very rare that a food compels me to write a review but the Tom Yum soup was AMAZING. The broth was a perfect balance of hot, sour and sweet. It also had plenty of mushrooms, chicken, tomato and onion. I can't wait to come back again!

    One of the most popular K-food restaurants in the Bay Area, and their food is always a 10/10!…read more I've come back here so many times because all of their soups are so comforting, especially the galbitang - my absolute favorite. It feels just like a warm hug in a bowl! Their cold noodles, both spicy and non-spicy versions, are refreshing and perfect for cooling down summer heat. We also almost always order the mo deum soo yook for extra protein. It's a combination plate with boiled beef brisket, tail, and tendons. You will have to season them yourself with salt and pepper, but beef is always so soft and tender. I highly recommend ordering this only if you're dining with a group of 3 or more because the portion is huge! After finishing your meal, they'll serve you a yakult, super yummy and great for digestion (super thoughtful of them) They're busy and almost always have a waitlist, especially during peak dinner hours. From my experience, the longest I've waited was about 45 minutes, but normally it's only around 20-30 minutes. There's a boba shop nearby where you can grab a drink while waiting. Overall, I have nothing to complain about with this place. Try it once and you'll understand why everyone loves it!

    -1 for service…read more Kunjip is always a hit! Came here on a Saturday around noon and thankfully we were early enough to avoid a wait. they don't allow outside drinks, which is a bummer because it was so hot and our drinks would go bad if left in the car. I got the galbi tang and they gave a good amount of beef! I was able to take home for a second meal :) i also love their kimchi. maybe around 10 minutes after we got our soup, we had asked for refills on the sides. when we got the refills, we also got our bill. we were no where close to being done eating and the servers would constantly check our table to see if we're done or needed boxes. while we were boxing our leftovers, the server aggressively took our soups (half way in the air trying to pour it) from us and packed it herself. my friend was trying to get the bone out first but the server was just awfully impatient. The whole dine-in experience felt very uncomfortable, especially since we were still actively eating.

Udon noodles were very qq. Wanna try the spicy one next time!

    Tried the Uzumakiya Udon, Tonkotsu Ramen and Hojicha Panna Cotta…read more The big difference between the Uzumakiya Udon and Tonkotsu Ramen is the broth. Uzumakiya had beef broth, supposedly oxtail broth. It's lighter in consistency than the ramen broth. Tasted more meaty without being heavy or fatty. The noodles were thicker but not chewy. The chashu (pork) slices that came with it was tender with just enough fat to give it the umami flavor. The Tonkotsu Ramen had the thinner noodles. The broth was creamier and richer than the beef broth but not bold or complex compared to other ramen broths I've had but still has a nice balance of flavor between the pork and dashi. Had the same chashu slices. Had more umami flavor than the Udon. Love the Hojicha Panna Cotta. Very smooth consistency. I felt like I'm eating something fancy but not heavy. Combination of light roasted tea and milk flavor. Just the right amount of sweetness. Enjoyed this the most. They had a $3 discount on their Udon. Food came out quickly. Staff were welcoming.

The concept might be simple but the possibilities are endless! I went absolutely overboard with my proteins (both beef and lamb), enoki mushroom, napa cabbage, tripe, baby corn, fish balls filled with roe and tofu skin. I saw that they had tofu mochi too and it was one of the best new things I decided to give a try. The bone broth was rich, flavorful and had that perfect mala kick with the numbing spice. I got mild flavor so it was not the kind of spicy that I could not tolerate. Each topping also soaked up all the flavorful broth. My friend got the medium spicy bone broth and that was packed a punch! I love how all the ingredients are fresh and fully restocked. The staff is very efficient. And they also give out vouchers, and free oranges.

    I was looking forward to trying this place, but unfortunately I left disappointed…read more The first thing I noticed was that the bowls and tongs didn't appear very clean. On the positive side, they do offer a large variety of ingredients to choose from. When my bowl was served, I realized it wasn't the one I had ordered. They had accidentally switched my bowl with another customer's. Later, while eating, I came across some of the marinated cilantro beef, which looked raw. I asked the server if it could be cooked a bit longer, but she explained that it was supposed to be pink. I tried a small piece, but the texture was still very tender, which made me uncomfortable. It also didn't have the texture of what I expected from beef. My cousin also had an issue with her bowl. The lotus root slices were cut fairly thick, so after cooking, it was still undercooked and crunchy. Overall, it was a disappointing experience due to the cleanliness concerns, the order mix-up, and the food quality. There are plenty of ingredient options, but I don't see myself returning.

The beef noodle soup was really comforting. Broth had a nice herbal flavor, noodles were chewy, and the beef was tender.

There are various levels of spiciness and I chose extra spicy which is a level down from there flaming spicy from what I can recall. Honestly it was not spicy enough but I did not want to get the spiciest level in fear that it would be too oily. Perhaps I will try that the next time to see if it is.    They have a bar further in the back of the restaurant where you can get creat your sauce and get some garnishes for your hot pot. I also noticed they have some other sides like noodles and such next to it. It seems if you are not participating in AYCE you can still get sauces and garnishes but I am not sure about the other sides.    The interior has changed from the last time I came here and it looks nice! Service was standard and everyone was nice. It does feel more chaotic now that they have AYCE but that  is understandable.

It was solid, with good noodles, generous amount of pork, some fish cakes, veggies, and an egg. The broth was good, but not top tier. In a place that sells many types of dishes and doesn't specialize in ramen, I understand everything can't be best-in-class. The egg, though, was hard boiled and didn't have a soft center, which I like. That seemed like a bit of a shortcut to be honest. My wife ordered a sizzling dish and liked it - perhaps that's their speciality. Service was good, the inside was pretty typical - nothing fancy, but nothing missing either. Good overall, would come here again for convenience and because the food is solid.
