    Pad See Ew
    Sharon N.

    Stopped by for lunch on Saturday per my bro's recommendation to try their tom yum wings. I got that and the pad see ew. At first, I was a bit skeptical about the wings. Although it came out piping hot, there appeared to be a ton of dry rub on it and so I was afraid it'd be too salty. To my delight it was gooooood- gotta have it with the sauce. The pad see ew was also gd. Chewy with the right ratio of noods, veg, and protein. This spot is the perfect size for a take out place with 3 tables. Highly rec their great wkday deals if you're too tired or busy to cook.

    This is the bug I found. Seems to be like a roach

    I tried the coconut curry soup here for the first time, and while the food tasted good at first, my experience was ruined toward the end when I found what looked like a bug in my soup. I took photos of the food and the bug because it was really upsetting and disappointing. I had planned on coming back another time, but after this first experience, I will not be returning. I wish I could put 0 stars but oh well.

    Coconut Water. Tastes like the sweet frozen kind from Asian markets with a lot of ice added.
    Laurent N.

    TLDR: good food, but skip on coconut water I'm a big fan of their green curry, ton yum soup, pork, mango dishes, and coconut rice. The coconut water isn't worth it for $4.50 It tastes like the sweetened frozen pack from Asian supermarkets, and the cup is loaded with ice cubes.

    Had a weird experience here. Came in 35 minutes before closing and you know when you can just tell someone has an attitude, that's immediately what I felt as we were looking at the menu deciding what to order. I got the impression that the worker taking our order was trying to rush us out. And I understand we came near closing, but the restaurant closed at 8:30. I would be more understanding if we came 5 minutes before closing but we didn't. What I don't understand is we weren't the only people there, there were people that came to order after us. I didn't get her name, but that really did alter my experience here. Ordered the fire and chili wings, roti, pork fried rice, and the short rib plate. All of the items came out one by one and by 8:20 we got all of our items. We were given to go boxes even though we let her know we were dining in. She told us it was because they would be closing soon which I was okay with. Once we got our food, we ate it at a table and were out the door by their closing time. I chose not to finish my food and took the rest to go since I knew they were closing. The food was great, I really enjoyed the crispiness of the wings, and the flavor of the short ribs. Those were the two stand out items to me. However, I don't think I'll be back here unless I ordered takeout because of the awkward and tense hospitality.

    My wife and I have been here for many years and I've finally had the time to write a review. This place is our go-to Thai place. We do a lot of takeout here and we've always enjoyed their quality and portion size. We either order at the kiosk or place an order over the phone. The food takes 15-20 minutes to be ready. I love their fried chicken -- specifically their tom yum and larb wings. I highly recommend it!

    FOOD : Every time I come to eat here, I feel like I'm at home. The food is really delicious and tastes homemade. The Pad Thai is very tasty, and the Thai tea is also really good . Everything has great flavor SERVICE: The service is very good. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. I've also had the chance to talk with the lady manager there, and she is very kind. That makes the place feel even more special. AMBIANCE: The atmosphere is comfortable and relaxed, a nice place to enjoy a meal. There's also plenty of parking, which is very convenient. In the same shopping area there are other stores like Safeway, pizza places, a barbershop, nail salon, pharmacy, and more. Honestly, I really like this place. The food feels homemade and I always leave happy. I definitely recommend it.

    I walked into Red chili as they were opening for dinner service. The girls behind the counter were really nice and made me feel welcome even though they barely opened. I ordered a red curry with beef and mistakenly didn't order the plate, but they were more than happy to help me fix it so I got the rice I wanted as well. I took the curry home for dinner and it was amazing. Sweet and spicy, with the rice cooked perfectly. The shop is cute with a handful of tables and fun pictures on the wall. The hours make it hard for me to come in, but any chance I get, I love going in.

    Pad Thai with chicken
    Lisa N.

    Been there, Thai-ed them twice. They have 2 locations (San Jose and Hayward). It's a family-owned small business serving delicious Thai/ Vietnamese dishes. Pretty solid selection to choose from. You definitely get your money's worth here. Many people were raving about their tamarind fish filet so ordered that. It did not disappoint. Kinda sweet and crispy. The portion was actually pretty big. I also ordered some staple dishes, such as pad thai with chicken (medium spice), panang curry with shrimp (mild spice) and tom yum chicken wings. The curry was so flavorful. Tom yum chicken had such an addicting seasoning and I wanted more wings afterwards. I have to try their larb chicken wings next time. Pad Thai was not bad. Not my fave but still good nonetheless. I'm more of a pad see ew gal anyways. Can't leave without getting some green thai tea and thai tea. Ended the meal with some yummy mango sticky rice. The heart shaped sticky rice is so cute! They also sell catering party trays! Make sure to call ahead. Why cook when you can save the hassle and order for your next gathering!! I'll be back to support.

    Where to find the best tamarind fish fillet in the Bay Area! This family owned small business has the best Vietnamese x Thai Fusion dishes. Their chicken wings are a MUST GET. The perfect crunch and bursting with flavor. They also have combos that comes with a side and salad for under $20 and does catering! Service is the best and it's the cutest spot!

    This review is long overdue! Found red chili a few years ago and enjoyed everything we ordered. Each time we've gone back we've found a new item that was so good! Mango fish, tamarind fish, fish sauce wings.... January 2025 they catered my son's 1st birthday and Tiffany was super helpful throughout the entire process! Like I mean answering all my questions before we even ordered, making food labels with allergen information, getting all the details before day of service. On the actual delivery day got to meet mom and dad who made sure everything was set up properly. Such a sweet family running an amazing restaurant!

    This was my first time here, and I was impressed, so next time I'm craving Thai food, I'll return. The place is small (if you decide to eat there), clean, and bright. The menu is consistent and varied (plus combo options). The staff is very friendly and helpful. As for the food: large portions, perfect flavors, and very affordable prices. If you're in the area, don't hesitate to stop by.

    Spaghetti dishes

    I'm here again at my favorite Thai restaurant. I don't know what else to say other than I love it here. It's too much for me, but I want to take it home anyways cause then I'm gonna eat it when I get home. It's even better than the next day.

    Tom Yum Wings
    Tammy H.

    If you were to only order one thing from here it should be the TOM YUM WINGS. I was thinking it would taste like the tom yum instant ramen seasoning, but I was incredibly wrong. They are packed with flavor from the tom yum and the batter is so crispy without being oily. You can actually taste the different components of tom yum like lemongrass and galangal, it was very pleasant. There were 6 wings total, wish there were 1 or 2 more at least. They offer a few other types of fried chicken wings too like Larb flavor! Will be back to try that for sure. It's a small establishment with about 5 tables inside. You order and pay first, then grab a seat. No restrooms. Friendly service and checked on us a few times during our meal.

Three different servers came by to help with our meal: one took our order, another offered suggestions on what to choose, someone checked on us during the course of our visit, and another brought out the water jar. It was one of those experiences where you never feel like you're waiting for anything, and the whole process is just seamless. The food is just as impressive. Everything tastes fresh and comes out delicious, from start to finish. We especially enjoyed the basil fried rice and the ka-praw, and we've also tried a variety of the curries--everything we ordered was on point and full of flavor. Warning: their fresh chili is da bomb! I also really like the ambience. It's the kind of place that feels comfortable and welcoming, and it's become our go-to Thai restaurant whenever we're craving Asian food. Parking can be a little challenging, but it's not a dealbreaker. If you're patient, you can usually find a spot by the street.

A generous portion of noodles and veggies, but not as much meat (which is fine by me). As a spicy loving girl, the spiciest level option was good as it was present throughout the entire dish, meaning it was mixed in well! I appreciated this immensely. Also got a mango sticky rice to feed my sweet tooth, and it was good too! Served with blue rice which made it pretty. The bad: Oh my god. I love Rad Nar normally, but when I ordered it from here through UberEats, I was severely disappointed and couldnt even finish a third of the dish. It was severely sweet. Now, I do love my sugar, but holy crap it tasted like they marinated the meat, veggies, and noodles in sugar and then added more sugar when cooking it. I also got the spicy option so it was really weird to eat something sickenly sweet with a little bit of spice when expecting a spicy, savory dish. Maybe it was a bad night for the chef or they mistook salt for sugar, but wow. I was in shock, and in the bad way lol.

Oftentimes when presented with vegan or…read morevegetarian options I generally opt for something else but I decided to step out of my comfort zone and try something new, and I was not only not disappointed, but incredibly pleasantly surprised. First of all, the staff and owner are incredibly nice. They made recommendations for our meal so we could have the best experience. It felt personal and you could feel the chef's love and care with each bite. The space itself is small but incredibly charming. From the paintings on the walls, brick wall, cozy lighting, beautiful mural, and comfortable open seating, it really set the stage for a wonderful meal. Fox Tale Fermentation Project also has plenty of rotating alcoholic and mocktail options which pair nicely with dishes! I ordered the Cali Classic Burger, and although the protein fell apart as soon as I took a bite, however, it was delicious. These flavors are so complex and funky that you can't help but take another bite. Generally, in non vegetarian dishes, the strong flavors of the meat/protein carries the dish, but in these dishes, the condiments, veggies, and fermented elements take your taste buds on a journey beyond the dish itself! The Fox Sando that my girlfriend ordered was also delicious. The toasted ciabatta was the star vessel for the rest of the ingredients. Perfectly toasted with slight hints of char, it really absorbed a lot of the sauces and spreads. I was lucky enough to take the second half of the sandwich home and eat it for breakfast the next day. I was so shocked when the sando itself held up in the fridge and was delicious cold! The flavors absorbed themselves into the bread but didn't make it soggy. I attribute this to the fact the ingredients didn't need to be heated up again to be tasty! Overall, I would absolutely recommend Fox Tale Fermentation Project for anyone who's looking for something different and unforgettable.
