    Ice Tea

    8/25/25 Shana Thai Restaurant 311 Moffett Blvd Ste A Mountain View, CA 94043 We went for lunch on a Monday to try a new place. This place is north of Castro St. on Moffet with no access back to DT MTV across Central. It's in a mostly Hispanic shopping plaza with okay parking. It's a little dim and contemporary interior. Service was good and attentive. I had the Massaman Curry (Beef), which I usually order on a first try to compare with other versions I have had and have experienced wide variability in execution, ingredients and flavor with this dish. Wifey had the Pad Thai with shrimp, which I don't care for due to the eggy flavor. The shrimp was okay, juicy and tender. My curry was above average but not in the elite category. It had good coconut flavor, the beef was very tender and plentiful but I detected no peanut; which I consider essential for this dish. It was good but not great, so no repeat.

    Came here with some friends to catch up and get some work done. The restaurant is located next to a grocery store and has plenty of parking in the back. When I got there, it was quiet as it was after the lunch rush. There was only 1 other group besides us - and we were placed right next to them. Seeing as it wasn't crowded, I would have preferred to be seated away from the other group as they were somewhat loud. 1 star off for that. Now for the good part - all the food we ordered were delicious! Each dish was full of flavor and worked well with each other. For the 6 of us, there was plenty of food to go around and we ended up not finishing - even tho we tried really hard. I also had a Thai iced tea (of course), which was pretty good - it was slightly too sweet for me, but not too bad. Overall, service was quick and other than the seating situation - everything went well. I definitely plan on coming back to try some of the other dishes.

    Pineapple Fried Rice
    Elena W.

    My boyfriend moved to Mountain View recently and we're now eating our way through this city. This Thai restaurant is pretty good for the area and I can see myself returning if we're too lazy to cook. It's a pretty small restaurant, but we were able to be seated right away for walk-in a Monday night dinner. Service was prompt. After we ordered our food, I went to the restroom (they have two clean restrooms) and by the time I came back, our appetizer had already arrived! So quick, the fresh summer rolls were great. My boyfriend and I then shared the pad see ew, pra ram (seafood and veggies) and pineapple fried rice. I think pretty much every party that I saw in the restaurant ordered the pineapple fried rice, it's pretty gimmicky that it comes in a pineapple but it's what makes it fun haha. It was a lot of food for the two of us and we had plenty of leftovers to take home, as I saw was the case for many other diners at this establishment. It was $100 post tax and tip for us two but with a decent amount leftover, so I would say the portion size is quite a lot for what you pay for. Which makes it worth it! My boyfriend also got a thai iced tea which was orangey and milky and hit the spot. The restaurant also has mango sticky rice for dessert but I was too full to try it this time. Overall decent spot in the area for a reliable meal!

    Garlic Basa ($19)
    Ai S.

    Came here for a late dinner as a group of 7 on Thursday around 8:30pm. The restaurant wasn't full, but there was a decent amount of folks on a weeknight. We were seated right away with no wait. ~The Food~ - Garlic Basa ($19): This was my favorite dish of the meal! This dish was fried fish with a sweet garlic sauce. This fish was so hot, definitely cooked fresh! It was super crispy, yet the fish was quite tender! Sauce was very garlic-y, perfect balance of sweet and savory. - Green Curry with Chicken ($18): There was quite a variety of veggies in this dish (asparagus, green beans, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, bell peppers), and a good amount of chicken. Personally, I thought this green curry wasn't anything too special; I think the flavors were just a bit lacking, could've used a bit more spice. I think it tasted just a bit watered down for my taste. - Jasmine Rice ($2): Nothing special, but pretty good portion! ~Overall~ I would say it was not a bad Thai place, but nothing too special; I think pricing wise, I think some of the dishes felt a bit overpriced. The service was pretty fast, staff weren't the most attentive but it was alright!

    Wild Ginger and Peppercorn Catfish
    Laltoo B.

    Decent Thai food. The Green curry with Roti was nice, the Lemongrass & kaffir lime flavors were pretty fresh & authentic. Fish cakes were huge, but had a rubbery texture. The wild ginger & peppercorn was tasty, but over sauced & the fried fish peices got lost in the mix - main ingredient cannot be overshadowed. Will need try the green/red curry, pad thai classics next time. Service is nice & quick. Place looks nice & cozy.

    Pad Thai beef and crispy pork belly
    Miguel C.

    Nice gem just a block from downtown Mountain View. Street parking and a parking lot behind it. We went on 8pm on a Friday and it wasn't busy. Staff were friendly, and patient waiting for our full party. I wish I could remember what everyone else got because it all was very good. We had summer rolls and crab Rangoon rings very delicious, could eat a bucket of the rings. Pad Thai w/ beef and crispy pork belly spot on. The yellow curry was tasty, only wish it was spicer. All food was served at a medium level, so not too hot but felt it could use more. The $10 margaritas were good too! All dishes are pretty big, so can share them next time

    Crab Rolls
    Nancy L.

    I used to take my team here all the time for lunch. I haven't been here for many years. It's first time for my family. Food Ordered the following: Red curry shrimp 3/5 Pad Thai with chicken 4/5 like the thin noodles Crab roll 2/5 prefer that the inside is less soggy Fish with eggplant 3/5 flavorful but salty Service Served a cup of tea with lipstick. It grossed my husband out and refused to drink anything here after that. They didn't charge us though. Ambiance It is showing its age now. The table cloth was dirty which grossed my daughter out. We won't be coming back here.

    We ordered ribeye steak and crying tiger. The ribeye steak was very tasty (a bit on the salty and a bit fatty) but the marinade was great and the beef was tender. It came with stir fried green beans and broccoli. My fav was actually the crying tiger beef. The beef was tender and I love the spicy sauce. It came with lettuce and veggies. The Shana paradise was amazing. It's refreshing and sweet and tasty. The service was good and the place was nice decorated.

    Excellent Thai food in a nondescript outdoor shopping center. The crying tiger beef is DEE-Licious and one of their signature dishes. pumpkin curry also a standout. Can't wait to go back to try more. Def on my regular rotation when up in the Bay area.

    Grilled Eggplant Salad
    Emeline T.

    My mom and I came here for lunch on a weekday and they weren't busy at all around 1:45pm. We ordered the crispy tofu appetizer, grilled eggplant salad, and pad see ew with chicken. The portions are quite large and great for sharing! Everything was delicious, and I forgot to take a pic of the pad see ew because I was too focused on eating. The tofu was a highlight -- crispy on the outside and silky soft on the inside, and the peanut sauce was super tasty. We had plenty of leftovers and left feeling quite full! Service was friendly and maybe a tiny bit slow but there was only one person waiting on the tables at this time, so I don't blame them for being busy. I can definitely see this place becoming a regular stop/recommendation when I am in the area.

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.

My family arrived a bit before 8 pm with a party of 10. I knew it was a large party an hour before closing, and the restaurant was packed, so we gave them some grace. However, the women proceeded to be hostile and berate multiple people in my party, for asking questions about the menu. I understand a language barrier could be the reasoning for this but any attempt to clarify what we needed was met with hostile interactions. My boyfriend asked if a dish came with rice, and she scolded him for it. My older sister asked for recommendations on shareable meat entrees, and she scolded and yelled at her, saying, "No, you tell me what you want, and I'll tell you if it's good." After that, she walked over to the register and started talking shit about my family in Thai, thinking I couldn't understand. She brazenly threw in a few English words like "annoying" and "so rude" while aggressively pointing at our table. I was ready to walk out, but I decided to stay as everyone was hungry. When the food finally arrived, the larb was burnt so badly that nobody wanted to eat it. When we finished our meal and were ready to leave, the same person was getting offended that we didn't want to take the poorly made food to go. She became increasingly upset that we didn't take the food. Overall, it was a terrible experience. I highly do not recommend eating here.

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.

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.
