We ordered the curry puffs, crab fried rice, Panang braised beef, and a Thai iced tea. The curry…read morepuffs were probably the biggest letdown. They were pretty one-note in flavor and felt underwhelming. The crab fried rice and Panang braised beef were both enjoyable, but neither dish was particularly memorable or something I'd go out of my way to order again. The braised beef itself was tender, but it was served in large chunks that didn't make for the most appetizing presentation. The Thai iced tea was also noticeably sweeter than what I'm used to, which may work for some people but wasn't my preference. One thing that stood out for the wrong reason was the pacing of the meal. Our crab fried rice arrived first, followed by the curry puffs, and then the Panang beef came out last. The timing felt disjointed, especially since you'd expect the appetizers to arrive before the entrées. The biggest issue, though, is the value. The prices are on the higher end for Thai food, and when the overall experience is just average, it's hard to justify the cost. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out either. Overall, it was an okay meal, but with so many great Thai restaurants around, I don't see myself coming back.

With the onslaught of…read moreexceptional restaurants in the area, the issues this place has are even more glaring; this is not the Castro of old where you can just phone it in. Let's start with the food - it's good not great. Thai food is generally known to be affordable and good value. This spot definitely isn't going to be saving you any money to offset less than stellar quality. If there were no other Thai options, it may be ok, but the Bay isn't lacking in quality Thai food. Most dishes are bland and dare I say pretty Americanized. Sadly, the food is the best part. The service is really and I mean really bad. Even when it's empty, they are still slow and don't seem to care at all. Complete antithesis of what you may be used at Thai restaurants. The atmosphere is mid. The place hasn't really been updated much over the years and it's starting to show its age. Overall, it feels like Amarin is stuck in the past and everything has just come at them fast. What may have been able to pass muster a few years back when Castro was a sleepy street in a quiet and boring suburb is no longer good enough.

Even though it's not very eye-catching from the outside, I had high hopes based on the reviews. As soon as we walked in, the ambiance was depressing. No decor, no music, just awkward silence. The bathroom was also out of service. We ordered the drunken noodles and duck curry. The duck curry was underwhelming and felt like they gave us scraps of duck. It came out 20 minutes before my dish. I told my husband to eat so his food wouldn't get cold, and by the time he finished, I was still waiting. My drunken noodles finally came out about 20 minutes later. The delay was really disappointing and left a poor impression. I wanted to like this place, but we won't be back.

The thai tea was really refreshing and the perfect drink for my meal. Appreciated that it wasn't overly sweet. There was one server holding it down when I came during Monday around noon. There was about 5 parties including myself and she was very efficient. I was able to dine in and get out of there within 30 minutes. The place is very casual.

We've been coming to Chuan Chim Thai Cuisine for several years now, for both lunch and dinner, on…read moreweekdays and weekends. The food has consistently been a level above most Thai restaurants we've tried throughout the Bay Area--and honestly, it's the reason we've been willing to make the drive to come here. The service has also always been very efficient, although I wouldn't necessarily describe it as particularly warm or friendly. Unfortunately, after several recent visits with different friends, we've noticed a recurring pattern with the service that has become difficult to overlook. For some context, today's group happened to include three people with years of experience working in high-end restaurants. We obviously didn't mention that to the staff, but it gave us a particular perspective on some very basic principles of hospitality. We completely understand that a restaurant may have a policy of not seating a party until everyone has arrived. That is perfectly reasonable when the restaurant is busy and tables are in demand. However, when the restaurant is nearly empty, with only one or two tables occupied, it seems unnecessarily rigid to make the first person in a three- or four-person party stand at the entrance and wait for the others to arrive. There's a much better hospitality opportunity here: seat the guest who has arrived, offer them a drink or perhaps an appetizer, and let them get comfortable while they wait. It creates a better guest experience and, not incidentally, gives the restaurant an opportunity to increase the check and potentially the gratuity. Instead, the guest is simply left standing at the door waiting. When the dining room is essentially empty, this comes across as unnecessarily unwelcoming. Another recurring issue is the lack of awareness of the table. Once we're seated and clearly engaged in conversation, there's no need to approach the table every few minutes asking if we're ready to order. Good service should be attentive, but it should also involve reading the room and recognizing when guests are simply enjoying their conversation and need a little more time. The same applies to clearing plates. We absolutely appreciate an efficient dining room and like having the table kept clean. But there have been several occasions recently when staff have attempted to remove a plate or bowl while there is still food remaining--even if it's just a small amount or a single piece of greens. There's a difference between keeping a table tidy and rushing guests through their meal. A little more awareness of whether someone is actually finished would make a significant difference. What makes this particularly disappointing is that these aren't isolated incidents. We've experienced the same types of service issues repeatedly over our last several visits, with different groups of friends. And that's a shame, because the food really is excellent. We've continued coming back despite the distance specifically because we think the food is that good. But at some point, excellent food isn't enough to overcome a consistently poor hospitality experience. This would have easily been a five-star review based on the food alone. Unfortunately, the recurring service issues have changed our overall experience enough that we're giving Chuan Chim Thai Cuisine three stars. It's unfortunate that after enjoying this restaurant for so many years, we've reached the point where we'll likely stop coming--not because of the food, but because of the service. We sincerely hope the restaurant takes this feedback to heart. The food deserves better hospitality, and a few relatively simple changes in how the staff reads and responds to the guests could make a tremendous difference.

Overall: 4 stars…read more Always tasty on Uber Eats, so have been meaning to try this restaurant in person for a while and finally got around to it. Owned by a winner of a reality cooking competition, it makes sense why it is priced at a premium, and with that follows pleasantly attentive service, innovative dishes, and comfy seating. I found the food to be generally pleasant, and the only thing that is unpleasant is their proximity to the train station that interrupts conversation on an intervalized basis. Old Siam - I see the vision of this luxury take on an old fashioned, which is flavorally accurate. I think the garnish is a bit too simple beyond the block ice to properly convey that look. Roti Mataba - Intriguing dish as I've never seen roti used to encapsulate before, but its smart as it creates a flaky exterior that pairs incredibly well with the curry sauce. Pad See Ew - Large portion of a classic dish that is served on the lighter side but still tasty. I would clean up on the presentation though. Mango Sticky Rice - Beautiful arrangement of mango sticky rice that shows great knife skills of the mango. You can see the heart shape starting to form of the sticky rice as well, which is beautiful. I think it coild be even more advantageous to use rose to dye for a more warming color palette.
