Craving Thai? My Thai Beach = 5 Star Satiation! A friend and I were hungry after the beach and we'd never tried this place and Thai sounded good, so we decided to give it a shot. I am SO glad we did! OMG we had the Tom Yum glass noodle soup. I still can barely believe how delicious it was! Flavors: Tangy lime juice (and tamarind?) spicy garlicky chili (or chili paste?) a touch of fish sauce for nice saltiness, with fragrant and flavorful lemongrass, slight sweetness...touched ALL taste bud bases at once! I could not get enough. Generous portion, too. It was almost impossible for my friend and I to have a conversation, because with every other bite one of us was expressing our delight in the INTENSE and PERFECT combination of heady flavors in the soup! We also split a Shrimp Pad Thai; the shrimp were LARGE, FAT and cooked perfectly, no chewiness whatsoever. We also had the mussels appetizer; I can usually give or take mussels at most places, but these were also above average, such yummy seasonings. The service was outstanding, as well; knowledgeable, friendly, expeditious. I WILL be back for more items, and will recommend it roundly in my circles! read more

We visited this restaurant last Saturday, April 11, because we were very hungry and it was the nearest Asian spot to us. We were a group of 7 and 3 kids. My 16-month-old son is very active, as most toddlers are. He was walking around while I stayed close to him, trying my best to keep him from grabbing things. Unfortunately, he pulled on a small bell by the door and broke the string. I immediately apologized for what happened. What really disappointed me was the reaction from the cashier/server. Instead of handling the situation with understanding, she seemed visibly upset and made several comments, including telling me to "control your kid." That was honestly upsetting and unnecessary. Anyone who has a toddler knows that it's not that simple, and parents are already doing their best to manage situations like this. Good food can easily be overshadowed by poor customer service. Comments about someone's parenting, especially without understanding the situation, are uncalled for. Because of this experience, I don't feel comfortable coming back. I hope the staff can be more mindful and respectful toward families in the future. read more

Such a lovely place! We came here after our beach evening in the Capitola beach. The view from this restaurant is just so amazing We ordered Roti Kanai, Tom Yum soup, Masamman curry with tofu with a side of brown rice. And the yummy sticky rice with mango. We enjoyed all the dishes, although massamman curry was a bit on the sweeter side. Soup was just perfect! Overall amazing meal on a beautiful day! read more

New owner, beautiful food, amazing service, lovely atmosphere and interior and gorgeous views from our table at the window plus the happy Erica and her team made our Friday evening in Capitola memorable and loads of fun. The food - every single item was prepared from scratch. Erica told us when we popped our heads in at 7:50 pm to kindly be there by 8:10 or so to truly enjoy the sit down meal. The Thai iced coffee served in a big glass was fresh and perfect- not too sweet. The veg pot stickers were delicious. So hot on the inside and with fantastic seasoning on the vegetables inside plus the dipping sauce with the hint of fresh tamarind- wow! The tofu veg yellow curry was smooth. The Pad See Ew had that fantastic and addicting smoky and charred flavor. The coconut rice( does not come w the entree) was delectable and the brown rice just so good. The rice was prepared fresh after our order. A great ensemble. The views from our window table- outstanding! The service - the best. Erica really spoiled us with so much love and care. Loved her interaction and laughs with the happy lady chef who came out around 8:50 pm as we were finishing up. It came to $42 per person plus tip which was a great price for a meal and experience of this standard. read more

Delicious food, Great view! There's a new owner here, and the food is fantastic. Try the Northern Thai Curry Soup. Amazing.

Amazing food here at My Thai Beach! Excellent food and excellent service. I'm on a mission to try everything on their very extensive menu. Everything so far has been stellar. I've had the Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles, Panang curry, Calamari, Crab Rangoon, Milk Tea and more! If you get a chance to try the food, do so! It came out hot, fresh, and just as spicy as I wanted it! read more

Since neighboring restaurant Shadowbrook was completely full ( no shocker here since it was Christmas Day ) we decided to take our chances finding somewhere to dine at Capitola Beach. And again no surprise here-the majority of the restaurants were closed except for My Thai Beach. We arrived early enough to get seated as the place continuously had guests coming in. The food was very yummy. We ordered chicken rolls, calamari, crispy chicken, both regular pad Thai and duck pad Thai, Tom kha soup, sesame balls, and a variety of boba drinks. Nothing disappointed. It was so cute getting festive Christmas fortune cookies too! I would highly recommend this place if you're in the area. read more

Capitola's beach front community features eateries aplenty. Precious few feature healthy faire. That's why we strolled into MTB. A Thai meal never fails to make you feel great all day long. MTB did not disappoint us! The welcome was warm and the smiles were bright. The authentic food was delicious, featuring fresh veggies and a fantastic brown rice. The tofu was slightly sweetened and melted in our mouths. You can look out at the beachgoers relishing the sandy scenes at the waterline window. How to look great in that beachwear and feel energized from sunrise to sunset? Eat at My Thai Beach in Capitola! =) read more

Very cute unique to the area Thai food! We tried the Chiang Mai Sausage, pad Thai Tom Yum (Thai spicy), Thai iced tea with boba and home made taro dairy free ice cream. The Chang Mai sausage was familiar yet different with regard to the spices. Mild chili and lemongrass in a good pork sausage cooked tender. The Pad Thai Tim Yum was spicy and sweet. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and juicy. Great spicy food heat! The taro ice cream is sweet and delicious. The owner told us she bought her own ice cream maker and makes dairy feee as she is allergic to milk. She did an awesome job! Thai iced tea with boba was really good as well! Great view and nice people Totally worth it, better than the fru-fru places around read more

I am seriously impressed by the cuisine at My Thai Beach on the Capitola Beach. We ate there two nights in a row, and I'm delighted to say the food was consistently good both nights. The food was bright, prepared with care, fresh, flavorful and well-balanced. This was no gloppy, sloppy imitation of Thai flavors. It is mindfully prepared, honoring the fresh ingredients. There are several duck dishes on the menu and I went full duck each night. The duck larb was slices of roasted duck dressed with a delicious, balanced dressing of lime juice, fish sauce, roasted rice powder and aromatics, and served with vibrant fresh slices of red onion and sweet seasonal tomatoes. The duck noodle soup was equally carefully constructed. A delicious clear broth, slices of that succulent duck, brilliant green baby spinach leaves, green onion, and fine wheat noodles. This is new ownership only a few months old, so ignore earlier reviews of a different team. The place itself is kind of funky and it's right on the beach. There are 2 tables that look out on the charming Capitola beach. The staff are friendly and helpful. I'll be back to try more of the menu. read more

Excellent service, terrific food, and an amazing view of the capitola village! Almost right away we were seated at the window (lucky us) and the wait time for the food was not long at all. Even if it was, the atmosphere of the restaurant was great, so who would even care? Not me. I got the crispy chicken pad Thai THAI HOT. To be fair, the waitress did ask me if I knew what I was ordering. Looks can deceive, I love that heat. It delivered well. I would make the 1.5hr drive and do it all over again in a heartbeat. Look past margaritaville and go here!!! read more

They don't have the best customer service, went inside and wasn't spoke to until after like 15 minutes and no one was even there eating or anything. The food is good, the drinks are good too but having to pay separately for the popping pearls in the boba? why call it a boba in the first place, just call it tea. The eggrolls are sooo good tho. read more

Oh my gosh literally the best Thai I've had not an exaggeration and the owners and staff are amazing. Had a duck larb (insanely good) and duck noodle soup (so clean with great broth super healthy), a whole fish and then papaya salad and the rice with mango! Insanity. Thank you for existing in the food desert of Capitola read more

Service was very attentive and great. Amazing views. Food was very filling, meat heavy, and very flavorful. I absolutely loved their pad Thai and chicken skewers with dipping sauce. My table of four agreed that our food was very good, as well as our drinks, and the price was very fair as well. Amazing place and will definitely return! read more

Good, affordable, and if you sit by the window, offers views of the pier. On every trip, I try to get at least one Thai spot in and this place happened to be open and had no wait. It definitely looks like a very small mom and pop shop that sells a mix of Thai and Viet food. I opted for their jalapeno rangoons, tom kha soup, and pad Thai. Everything came out quick and piping hot! The rangoons were your typical cream cheese fried rangoons, loved it. Tom kha soup definitely felt like it was a little lacking in flavor so I added some of their chili oil that was on the table. Fair warning, that chili oil is/can be super spicy depending on how much you add. Although I loved that chili oil and kind of wish I had asked to purchase a container of it to take home. The pad Thai itself was pretty good sized, but definitely was a bit overcooked because the noodles really all stuck to each other. The one lady working was really sweet! Our meal came out fairly quick and we were in and out of there within under and hour. read more

Food is fair tasting, service is so-so. When we visited their POS is not working so instead of focusing on the customer on their wait time, much time is spent on making sure the balance is correct, tables are not cleaned, service is compromised. What should probably have been done is limit the number of customers coming in or close the store for awhile. We saw other customers leave. The view though on 2 tables are beautiful due to the ocean. Street parking or parking lots nearby. Accepts credit/debit. My verdict: not highly recommended but you could try for yourself read more

I really really wanted to like this place. First off the decor is old and unique to say the least. I felt like I was in someone's basement. Being right on the water you would think they would have more than just two windows to see out of. Tables were dirty. Place was dark and had a weird smell. They had a oddly place coach in the middle of the restaurant. The food was good, not great! The service was hit and miss. Older couple helped me possibly the owners. They were slow to seat me. This place just need a make up over. read more
