The ambience is cute and green. There's a lot of beautiful plants in here. Our server was Derik, he was very attentive. We came for the lunch special, it comes with a really good coconut tofu soup with vegetables absolutely delicious. I ordered the yellow curry with white rice and we got the tea and the potstickers steamed. So yummy! I will definitely be back. read more

It is meh. The value isn't there for a $20.00 lunch. The soup was served a bit cold. The portions were paltry and the lunch spl was very bare-boned. The taste is mediocre. I am a Thai Food connoisseur so ive had it all over the world and know what a particular dish should taste like. I basically had a $12.00 dish for $20. Most places also add a small side salad as a choice and/or an spring/egg roll. The location is nice the people are nice. That is about it. read more

Lanna Thai Restaurant - My soup - Thai Near Me - Livermore, California

Decided to try to place and we went late afternoon so not a lot of people and service was great. I ordered the pork with egg and can't recall the name, but meat was not as tender as I would like. My husband ordered the curry dish and that was delish. I forgot to take a pic and not sure what it's called. read more

It is such a beautiful place with amazing plants all over but the food wasn't as good as I would've wished. The crab rangoon was a bit dry and chunky not creamy. The crispy egg rolls were really good and the pineapple fried rice was good but it does taste more like stir fry than fried rice. The Thai tea is amazing and I would recommend to try it! The service was good but I did feel a bit rushed to make an order since I did come 30 mins before closing and I was told that they were only doing takeout but I do understand since it was almost closing just a little sad because I wish I could've seen the place longer it is very beautiful! read more

Restaurant was empty on a Monday afternoon at 4pm, seated where we wanted, our server promptly took our order. The food was very good! We shared the Tom Kha soup and eggplant fries. Soup was hot and tasty, not served in the usual metal pot with the heated center, but still very hot. Eggplant fries were really crispy and the sauce was great. Hunt who doesn't usually like eggplant that much really liked it. The ambiance is ok, clean and open, but they really need music. You hear the range hood whirring loudly. Music would add a lot. It's on the pricey side though. Probably won't be back as there are other Thai places to try for less read more

Overpriced and disappointing. No one greets you when you walk in, service is slow and inattentive, and the food lacks flavor and authenticity. Definitely not worth the price. read more

Not impressed! In the Bay Area there are some fantastic Thai restaurants. Unfortunately this isn't one of them. Lanna's is a very run-of-the-mill Thai restaurant that is depending more on the Western concept and perception of a Thai restaurant rather than actually creating and serving true, high-quality Thai food. They're lazy and not trying very hard because they figure you don't know any better. read more

From the very first bite, the dumplings set the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. Delicately wrapped yet perfectly sturdy, each dumpling is crafted with care and intention. The skin is thin and tender, never doughy, allowing the filling inside to truly shine. Bursting with flavor, the filling is juicy, well-seasoned, and balanced--savory without being overpowering. Every bite delivers a comforting warmth, the kind that reminds you why dumplings are such a timeless, beloved dish. Whether dipped lightly into sauce or enjoyed on their own, they stand confidently as a highlight of the menu. What truly elevates these dumplings is the attention to detail. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients and the patience behind their preparation. They aren't rushed or mass-produced; they feel handmade, thoughtful, and authentic. The texture contrast between the soft wrapper and the flavorful filling creates a satisfying bite that keeps you reaching for "just one more." It's the kind of dish that leaves a lasting impression and sets a high standard for everything else that follows. Then come the short ribs--undeniably the star of the table. Cooked to absolute perfection, the meat is so tender it literally falls off the bone at the slightest touch. Each bite melts in your mouth, rich and deeply flavorful, the result of slow cooking done right. The seasoning penetrates every layer of the meat, creating a depth of flavor that is both bold and comforting. There's no need for a knife here; the ribs surrender effortlessly, a true testament to the skill in the kitchen. The sauce glazing the short ribs deserves its own praise. It's beautifully balanced--savory, slightly sweet, and incredibly aromatic--clinging to the meat and enhancing its natural richness without overpowering it. As the ribs rest on the plate, they practically invite you in, filling the air with an irresistible aroma that makes waiting nearly impossible. Every bite is indulgent, satisfying, and deeply memorable. Together, the dumplings and the short ribs create a dining experience that feels complete and thoughtfully curated. One offers comfort and finesse, the other delivers bold, soulful richness. This is the kind of meal that stays with you long after you've finished, the kind you find yourself recommending to friends without hesitation. If you're looking for dishes that showcase true craftsmanship, heart, and flavor, the dumplings and fall-off-the-bone short ribs are absolute must-tries. read more

Seriously, the food is just out of this world good! Every bite is bursting with so many amazing flavors. I could eat that spicy noodle dish every single day. And the curries? Absolutely divine, so rich and creamy. Definitely my new favorite cuisine. read more

Lanna Thai Restaurant - Thai Near Me - Livermore, California

Came here on a Saturday night, plenty of parking and plenty of tables. Menu selections are great, tried Pok Pok Shrimps, Grandma pork belly, and Betong chicken. Food is delicious, but it's quite pricy - more expensive than restaurants in Downtown Livermore. Service is fine, but no one refills water for us. Decor is nice. P.S. They offer desserts from next door restaurant - Honey Bee Sweets Cafe, not sure if it's the same owner or a partnership. read more

We were in Livermore briefly and wanted to stop nearby for some Thai food. Lanna Thai was a good choice - conveniently located and great customer service. I will say the size of the dishes were smaller than expected considering the price. We ordered the roti appetizer, tom yum soup, pad see ew and basil fried rice. The flavor of each of the dishes were alright and the tom yum was spicier than expected. Possibly worth visiting if you're in the area read more

We dropped in for a quick lunch. There was only one other table in use when we walked in. We were seated, menus presented, followed by a bowl of soup and glass of ice water. We each ordered an entree and a drink. She got a Thai Vermicelli Bowl with Pork and a Lemonade. I got an order of Pad Kee Mao with Chicken and a Thai Ice Coffee. A man, who we presumed was the chef, served us our food. He also checked back with us to make sure everything was okay. Everything was okay. I had ordered my Pad Kee Mao Mild and it had zero heat. I'll take the blame for that because I should have made sure that mild was mild and not zero heat. In fact, there was more sweet than heat. Service was decent. Next time, we'll remember also to ask if we can order off the dinner menu (it used to have more items). read more

I may not be the most qualified to give this review, as Thai food is not something I go for in the US. I'm sure this place could be good for some folks, but it's not for me. The food is very Americanized Thai food. Things that need not be sweet are overly so. Dishes claiming to be spicy are not. The space itself is lovely. The ambiance is nice. The staff are friendly. read more

Lanna Thai Restaurant - Spicy roti with chicken - Thai Near Me - Livermore, California

I stopped by Lana Thai and the meal was outstanding. I ordered the Yellow Curry and the Spicy Roti. The yellow curry was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced--just the right amount of sweetness with tender chicken and vegetables that soaked up all that amazing sauce. It's the kind of curry you keep going back to with your spoon even when you're full. Service was friendly, food came out hot, and the flavors were legit. If you're a curry lover, this place should be on your list. I'll definitely be back! read more

The food is decent but not consistent, prices have soared in the last year and the value just isnt there. $50 for a to-go order of beef pad thai+ side of rotti is pretty nuts. There are other much more reasonably priced options in Livermore. read more

Decor was cute, menu looked good... but service? It was okay. Food could be better for the price point. We ordered a pineapple fried rice that was okay, I've had better... , phad see ew (didn't have the dark color and char), phad Thai was kinda bland, beef noodle soup, okay flavor but noodles were overcooked. Pumpkin curry? It was okay but some of the pumpkin pieces wasn't fully cooked. Best dish was the grilled pork. read more

This place is always good except tonight with our door dash delivery . We received the delivery at the incorrect location, our neighbors apt next door , luck we caught it! The pad Thai we added chicken and it was dry and tasteless. Really surprised! read more

Lanna Thai Restaurant - $50 for these items!!! Pretty crazy expensive now!!! - Thai Near Me - Livermore, California

The dining decor was beautiful since they remodeled years ago. The food still great through passing by had to do a phone order and he was great taking my order. Love the pumpkin curry here and the basil fried rice. The rice this time was slightly hard for my liking but flavor was still there. The dinner prices seem pretty high $52 for two things is crazy! The curry tasted great you should definitely try it I also am a huge fan of the spicy rotti chicken. And I notice they expanded have another business next door which is the dessert side called honey bee but would love to come to enjoy the shaved ice the mango sweet rice too. read more

Thai food cravings will be satisfied, I promise! It's a shame that I have driven past this place time and time again without actually bringing myself to peek in and read a menu. If I had, I would have been more than pleasantly surprised by the beautiful decor, deep aroma of savory food and an epic ceiling mounted light/plant centerpiece. Get the chicken pumpkin curry. It's been over a month since my visit and I crave it each time I drive past. There are several spicy levels to choose from and I got medium but barely felt the burn so I'll try it hotter next to round. Note, you have to order rice on the side. The service was friendly, fast, attentive and thoughtful towards kids. Definitely a family friendly, kid friendly environment. Clean bathroom, check! read more

My wife and I have been coming here for a few years now.Which the food for the most part has always been pretty good.They just recently switched their menu and add it a bunch of new items that is out of this world ridiculous delicious!!! We will be bringing our entire family here very soon. Food Flavor, portion, presentation was amazing!!! read more

Service was attentive, with the chef taking time to personally explain the dish she prepared for the Food Network. She made menu suggestions and brought an additional plate for us to try. The flavors were delicious and plated beautifully. We had leftovers that reheated well. We had door dashed food in the past and now will return to eat at this location and continue to eat more menu items. This trip we had the samosas, the dumpling sampler, spicy chicken stuffed roti, pumpkin curry and the braised pork belly. read more

First of all, the soup they give you in the beginning deserves 6 stars , it was so fire . Overall the food was super good but that pok pok stole the show . The Pad see ew was okay . The noodles were a tad bit overcooked but it was still good . Service was great and the place was beautiful! read more

Was driving around the area and it was getting late for lunch so decided to try this as it was close by. Easy parking right out front and the decor was very charming and welcoming. Lots of nice Thai street food dishes on the menu which is always exciting to us. But the prices, wow! The menu pics on Yelp are only a year old but the current prices are much higher. And this isn't downtown SF or something where rents are sky high. So that was a bit of a shock. Anyway we got the pad kee mao and the house special noodle. Both were good and portions were quite large. But $20 and $21 for Thai street food at a regular Thai restaurant is still quite up there. Welcome 2023! read more

I would give this place 6 stars if I could!! Everything we ordered was a hit! We started with an appetizer that we saw as we were ordering. We almost missed it because it wasn't in the same area on the menu as their other appetizers. We got the Spicy Dumpling. This was apparently featured on the showed "Chopped" and it was AMAZING. I guess as a flaming hot Cheeto fan, I was bound to love it, but I highly recommend. It even came with this spicy "salsa" that I wish we had more of on the plate. We also ordered Pad Kee Mao, Basil Fried Rice and Salmon Pesto Noodle. We started the meal on a high note with the Dumplings. I didn't think these dishes could surpass it, but they did. Everything was so delicious. The Salmon Pesto Noodle was especially good!! I had never tried a dish like that before and I think it was my favorite of the main courses. The restaurant is well suited for smaller groups and have a nice option for a large group of people. The service was quick, and we enjoyed the quick chat with the Chef who came out now and then to chat with the customers. I honestly cannot wait to come back here. read more

Lanna Thai was a consensus among my friends as the best Thai place in Livermore, but have things slipped? Firstly, the wife has Thai basil stir fry with tofu, and it was pretty good. Previously she's had the Pad See Ew here, and found it a bit sweet. We also ordered the samosas, and liked them very much. The pastry was quite flaky and seemed fresh, well done. My large bowl of Tom Yum soup with veggies was very disappointing. There were chunk and thick slices of something - bamboo? that my teeth could gnaw through. The overall flavor was one dimensional, and not that interesting. When I showed them the 10% Yelp check-in coupon, they said that they didn't accept Yelp deals. Except, these aren't Yelp deals, these are discounts that the restaurant has arranged through Yelp! I suggest that someone at Lanna Thai contact Yelp and rescind the discount, since they had to be the ones who created it in the first place. I didn't say anything about the soup, but I'm always curious when I leave 80% of my dish behind, if someone asks me if there was a problem, but no one did. Oh well. The downtown Livermore places are closer anyway. read more

Lanna Thai is a great find for us. I spent a few weeks consulting in Thailand. I came home with a fond love of the people and music of Bangkok. I recently found out that Kimberly, the chef owner, grew up in Thailand. Kim credits her success to her mom and family. Sf Eater published Kim's story and how she ended up on Food Network Chopped. After seeing her on Chopped we visited her restaurant. Ironically the episode was called Flamin' hot. We ordered all dishes mild. Lanna's menu asks you to specify spiciness that starts with mild and increases from there. They will gladly give you spice if you ask. We tried many items and like the flavors. Kim has a curry paste that is made from scratch using a family recipe. We even got to try one of the Chopped appetizers with the spiciness turned way-way down. When you are in the mood for Thai we strongly recommend you give Lanna a try. read more

My husband and I have such a love/hate relationship with Lanna Thai. We really love their food when it's consistent, but the consistency just hasn't been there the last many times we've visited or ordered to-go. We both really love spicy food; my husband can handle a little more than I would prefer. Sometimes we'll order the medium spicy and it tastes more like not spicy or mild. Other times, it's burn your tastebuds off hot. Other times he can order the Thai spicy and it tastes like medium spicy. This makes it really hard to order because I definitely want some spice, but not so much that all I taste is heat and not flavor. Another big miss that we've been noticing is the staff. There is one gentleman who works there that seems absolutely miserable and like he hates everything about his job every single time we're there. Once, there was a large party with a few kids. We all know kids make messes, and this is especially so when things like rice are ordered. They left and he came to clean their table about fifteen minutes later (which seemed a long time as they were not busy). He literally rolled his eyes and sighed outloud at the mess on the floor. He also never, ever smiles or seems like he has even a half an ounce of a desire to be there. He really just mopes around and I'll be honest this is one of the main reasons we no longer go there. If you're going to be away from downtown, you have to have something to draw people in and with the inconsistent food and miserable staff, that's just not there. This is really a big disappointment for us, too, because they used to be the best Thai in town based on food and flavor. I think it still could be if they could find a way to provide consistency in spice and have a staff who's passionate about what they're offering. read more

My friends and I came here & when we walked in, we were so impressed with all of the beautiful plants used as decoration inside the restaurant.

This was my first time to Lanna Thai . My companion, who is vegetarian, and I shared the Tom Kha Soup with vegetables and the pineapple fried rice with tofu. The soup was delicious. The rice was excellent sans the tofu. fYI: I'm not a tofu fan. I only got that because of my friend. I would try it again with chicken. Sadly, we dive right into the food and didn't get any photos. However, as you can see, the interior is quite charming and airy. I'll definitely return and try some additional dishes. read more
