Ordering takeout via a phone call was very easy on a Sunday afternoon. I ordered the beef pad se ew, chicken Thai fried rice, chicken tom yum soup, angel wings, and Thai tea. All the food upheld the 20 minute drive home. Chicken wings were delightfully stuffed and crispy. Entree were still warm and not too oily. I love that there is a bit of sear on the pad se ew noodles. The gal who rang me up was kind and speedy. They kept the thai tea cold until pick up which shows great customer service. There are plenty of places who leave your Togo drink on the counter until pick up and this place doesn't do that. Restaurant was practically empty and very clean. Definitely looking forward to eating in next time! read more

Great service. Yellow curry chicken was delicious. I ordered it with a side of jasmine rice. Very quiet and nice place.

Place was empty when we came in. Food was pretty good. Ordered green beans with tofu. Would not order again. Pad Thai with chicken, Pad See-ew, Pad-Krapow, and rice. They gave a good amount of rice for 3. The Pad See-ew, Pad Thai, and Pad-Krapow was tasty. Broccoli was crunchy and fresh. Would come back. Bathroom was clean. You know the rule of thumb about if the bathroom is clean, that means the place is sanitary. Thought the signs around the restaurant was odd. Lots of parking. read more

Not the old shine I use to know. Ordered the pad see ew and found that there was salad under it which made it look bigger than it was. Felt a little bit jipped since it wasn't listed on the menu. But it makes sense why there are a bunch of no refund signs on the wall which is really off putting and probably a sign for issues. read more

Each time I come here I always have the best meal. The ones that stand out to me are the crispy garlic ribs, which are the small crispy ribs that are super flavorful and are delicious on their own with rice. They used to have as fried tilapia or flounder, and they no longer have it, which is too bad. Papaya salad- awesome as well as their pad Thai-- perfectly tangy and saucy, but not too saucy. They have these chicken thighs that are crispy and they are also delicious. Service is quick and friendly. read more

I'm a curry fan; red and yellow are my favorites. I judge any/all Thai restaurants by their red curry chicken. Happy to say that Shine Thai's red curry is super good. My only complaint is it's always got a bit too much oil in it. Easily remedied via paper towels to absorb off the oil. Regardless, this is legit curry taste. I recently was really hungry so I opted for both red and yellow curry chicken. Both were delicious! If, like me, you're a Thai curry fan, this is the place! read more

Love Shine Thai! Especially when I don't wanna cook, we love to get a hearty dinner from here. Favorites: -shrimp pad Thai -yellow curry -crispy chicken If I'm not getting those, I'm order another dish or two I haven't tried yet. This place always has great service. I've never actually eaten inside however the place seem clean and well kept. I also think this is one of the fewer places we frequent whose price matches the food quality and portion. read more

What a delicious and unassuming spot in this hidden strip mall. We were with the kiddos so we got more kid friendly dishes like fresh rolls, wonton soup, pineapple fried rice and pad see ew.. and of course I got a Thai iced tea. Everything was pretty solid, service was friendly without being overbearing and bathrooms were clean. Happy to go back and try some of their other dishes.

We decided to dine in for a change at Shine. Not the greatest location, hidden from public view but people know this place and a lot of to go orders. A lot of shops/restaurants next to it have closed one by one. The papaya salad was tangy and super generous. The catfish curry was excellent coupled with the fried basil leaves and red bell peppers. The crab fried rice was the perfect choice and flavorful. Service was quick and attentive. Still my favorite. read more

First time at Shine Thai Cuisine on. Monday at 12:30 pm for lunch and it was completely empty. They have different lunch specials for $12.50. The garlic salmon really didn't really taste like anything. But the sweet sauce that came on side helped along with hot sauce. I would come back to try something else. The service was ok. Plenty of parking in the lot. read more

The restaurant has a cozy, laid-back vibe that makes it feel like a nice neighborhood spot. Staff was super attentive. Pad Thai was standard, there was a nice balance of the tangy, sweet, and salty flavors. The pad kee mao wasn't as spicy as it could have been but the ingredients tasted fresh. The stuffed chicken wings were okay. read more

I really enjoy this authentic Thai restaurant. The staff is very friendly and accommodating to my vegetarian diet. Last night I ordered pumpkin curry and spicy vegetarian fried rice. The veggies were plentiful and crunchy. The tofu was perfect and the spices were just singing on my tongue. This place is tucked away but well worth the trip. read more

A hidden gem in Daly City! Good Thai restaurants are hard to find in the peninsula, but this one stands above others. The prices are reasonable, the service is excellent, food comes out quick and the flavors are spot on. Stand out dishes include the beef panang curry with the sauce full of flavor. The spicy chicken salad was also a nice surprise. read more

Not sure why this place always seems so empty, it's such a nice place! We went here Sunday at noon and there were only two tables occupied. We ordered the Fresh Rolls (comes with 6 rolls) but asked to substitute the spicy sauce for peanut satay sauce instead - the rolls were okay, but the rice noodles inside felt a bit dry. I wish they had a shrimp option, instead of fried tofu. We also ordered the Pad Kee Mao, which was really good and had the perfect amount of spice. Atmosphere is very spacious and clean, and service is fast. read more

Wandered in here and decided to try out because we were quite hungry. Pleasant attentive service and good portion sizes (for 2 with leftovers). We got 4 items: Chicken satay skewer appetizer, the green curry, tom Kha soup and a side of steamed jasmine rice. $45 before tax and tip. Reasonable especially when there are leftovers. The satay and green curry was delicious, hot all the right spots. The tom Kha was more sour than I preferred and the veggies in there were uncomfortably large to eat without intervention. It was quite a busy restaurant and quite full when we got in at 130pm on Sunday afternoon. read more

The food is decent here, but to-go portions used to be better and service could be improved. Ordered our usual chicken skewers, pad see ew with beef and pad thai with pork. To-go portions are served in smaller black rectangular containers, which is much different than when they used to have the wider square white containers. I'm not sure if ownership changed hands because their menu had also changed and the previous specials aren't offered anymore. They have different specials now and they're not as good as before. As a small business, you would appreciate your customers whether they dine-in or order to-go. The lady I received the food from during pick up barely smiled and didn't express any sign of appreciation for choosing to order from their establishment. Especially in today's tipping culture where it's mainly based on service received, a smile and simple "thank you" goes a long way. There is never a line to wait and sit down here (at least I haven't seen one) so that might give you an idea of the restaurant's dine-in popularity. I would only order from here if we were really craving thai and too lazy to venture outside of Westborough area. read more

This was my first time ordering from this place, and I loved it! I ordered several dishes, and they were all delicious. The customer service was excellent, and my order was ready very quickly. I will definitely be back! read more

Ambiance was chill, service was great, we had no problems with bringing our service dog. A PLUS! We came around 5:30p Not many people which was fine because we got to sit down and order in good time. Food was just right, came out decently quick, not dry or undercooked. Warm flavorful where it needed to be. I got the Satay dinner Combo and my partner got the Angel wing dinner combo., and veggie spring roll , our drinks were Thai tea with coconut milk substitute. Overall great experience! Will be back for thirds! (The first time eating from here was thru online services.) read more

Ordered to go for the following: Pineapple fried rice Green curry Papaya salad Pad Thai Tom yum soup The total came out to be about $83 which is reasonable for what we got compared to other places in the bay area. Tom yum soup and Pad Thai is probably my only top favorites of the ones I ordered. Papaya salad was a bit too salty for some reason and the fried rice was a bit bland.. not too much flavors. Green curry was also just okay for me. Overall the flavors were a bit mediocre for me but the price point is nice in this economy nowadays. This place is hidden behind a little plaza so you need to go past the initial lot to the lower level. Just follow the signs. There is plenty of parking around. read more

Four years have passed since my last review, time for an update! And Shine Thai is still the wonderful restaurant I said it was in my two earlier reviews below (read them if you want really specific opinions on several dishes!) -- and, take note, my fellow Pacificans, if you're like me and not too keen on a certain Thai restaurant in our town, this is a wonderful alternative and is a quick ride over the hill. Since my last two reviews where I was pining for Shine to add satay to their appetizer choices -- they've indeed since added it to the menu! And, I'm happy to report, it's one of the best I've ever had. They have the usual chicken, and very well prepared, but they also have beef AND, something different than most Thai places, you can get combo chicken & beef, which is what I usually get. The chicken and beef are both top quality, and in particular with the beef, not fatty at all. The peanut sauce is excellent, one of the best I've had AND they give you a whopping EIGHT skewers! Most places only give you four, maybe five. Folks, this is truly a great presentation of everyone's beloved satay and, not to mention, an excellent value. (Apologies, forgot to take photo, but I will next time!) Also, as you'll see in my reviews below, I particularly love the yellow & red curries and any of their wide flat rice noodle dishes including pad see-yew, lard-nar (more popularly known as "rad na" in other Thai restaurants) and, especially, their kee mow, which is absolutely wonderful. But, unfortunately -- and I do hate to say anything negative because I love Shine Thai so much -- but there's one very popular item that I just don't care for: Pad Thai. Alas, I didn't like it a couple of years back and then tonight, trying it again just to make sure I wasn't having a false perception ... nope, the preparation hasn't changed. The noodles are not al dente as I'm used to at most places, they're overcooked, and they're also too wet, i.e., oversauced (see accompanying photo) -- but, the main problem is the sauce itself: there is something slightly tomato-y about it that I just don't care for. I've been to a couple of Thai restaurants where the Pad Thai actually tastes like ketchup! Don't get me wrong, that's not the case here at all -- but that usual wonderful sweet tamarind, almost caramel-like, flavor that I'm used to with Pad Thai, that's just not how they prepare it here as they've opted for to go more acidic than sweet. You may very well like it this way, however. With a criticism like that, why am I still giving it five stars? Because I still think, overall, this is one of the best Thai restaurants in the area. What I do like on their menu is the very best you'll find in the Upper Peninsula, so well prepared and so tasty, and the atmosphere is very nice, the service wonderful, and it's an excellent value -- especially, I should add, for their noodle dishes. So while I may go somewhere else for pad thai, Shine is still by far my #1 in the area. read more

Servers are friendly here but the portions are a tad small. Maybe everyone has smaller portions now? Had the pad thai cuz it's my standard to get to get a baseline. We ordered the mixed vegetable pad thai. I liked it, the noodles had a good chew and there was a good balance of veggies to noodle ration. Also ordered the pineapple fried rice which had a good mix of meat to go with the rice. It's a nice little casual spot and they don't kick you out so it's a good place to eat and hang. i liked the fried banana with coconut ice cream the best. Decent portion of banana and ice cream to share for two people. I would go back for that! It's really a 3.5 star kinda place. Might stop in again cuz I want dessert at the end! read more

I've dined here 20+ times and I really like this place. The food, service from staff and overall dining experience has been consistently the same - always GREAT.

Went here with my family and had a wonderful time. The interior is very rustic but also warm, overall a very charming place to eat any time of the day. Each dish is very tasty on its own, but I recommend ordering family style al a carte. My favorite dish is their catfish curry some of the best I've ever tasted! Crispy and flavorful with a creamy Curry taste. And I always wash everything down with a Thai tea which never disappoints here. The workers were very welcoming and willing to accommodate my whole family even later at night. I ordered a lot more dishes you can see the photos! read more

I placed an order on door dash and the store does not allow you to type in any requests so I called the store directly and requested hot sauce and vinegar when I placed the order (my favorite part of eating Thai food).

Still a hidden gem of a place for Thai food. Located in a small plaza near the Mercedes dealership on Gellert, with lots of parking. It was pretty busy for a Wednesday evening--on my past visits, the place has been relatively empty for dine-in. The service was fast & the staff was attentive. I recommended the chubby chicken and the Thai basil pork. For our small group, we also ordered the papaya salad, the heat was milder than I anticipated. It had great flavor, pieces of dried shrimp & plenty of peanuts--it was just a tad salty for me. The pineapple fried seemed to be lacking, there was enough chicken, I thought it was a little bland. My favorites are still the chubby chicken & the Thai basil pork. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed our meal and we ordered just enough; we managed to eat everything--no leftovers to take home. Our meal was delicious and I would definitely return. read more

I come here for takeout. I love their Pad Thai with chicken. Staff were nice. Thank you!

Pretty good Thai restaurant that is very easy to miss and get lost. It is situated alongside the big Benz dealership. You must go down a small,curvy road from the street to access it. They serve many of the old standards. They aren't the largest portions I've ever seen, but at least everything tasted good. Anyway,aren't you supposed to be on a diet? read more

We ordered Tom Yam and noodles for two and were pleasantly surprised by the generous portion of soup--it was a big serving, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. However, I wasn't a fan of the room's design, and the dishes lacked the expected spiciness, with the soup being a bit too sour for my taste. That said, the prices are reasonable for what you get. I might return for a lazy lunch when I don't feel like cooking or spending too much elsewhere. read more

Recently moved to South City and had to try out the local nearby spots! Starting with Shine Thai, it was a bit confusing to locate at first... but just keep driving into the parking lot and follow the signs to find the restaurant that's tucked away in it's own little cozy corner. Staff are very attentive when you come through the doors, unless it's busy then it takes a moment. The have a few vegan options, which was perfect for my sister! My wife and I ordered our usual pad see ew and we wanted to try their stuffed chicken wings. The dipping sauce for the chicken wings was addictive! It was very crispy on the outside breading, and the inside was a combination of pork, chicken and glass noodle. Very nice mouth-feel, and flavorful. The pad see ew noodles were bouncy, but unfortunately they don't use Chinese broccoli like most recipes call for. The beef was also a bit dry, despite being somewhat tender. read more

I am 50/50 on this place. The Pad See Ew, Crispy Chicken, and Thai Iced Tea were to die for. Truly delicious and cook to perfection. Very pleased with the crunch on the kitchen and the sauce on the flat noodles. I would come back just for those dishes. Unfortunately the Pad Thai & green curry may have been some of the worst Thai dishes I've ever had. I love both of those meals but here the pad Thai tasted like kitchen almost and the green curry was so watery it didn't have that nice creamy consistency I am looking for. The ambiance is standard. Lots of tables available. There is one single bathroom. Lots of people are picking up to go. The price is extremely affordable compared to Sf Thai food and we had so many leftovers which is always a plus. read more

PLEASE BEWARE OF THE LADY WITH THE EYEGLASS If you're looking for good authentic Thai food this is the place. Just be careful with the Lady server she's hungry for tips. 1st visit: It was the guy that help us no problem at all great service. We normally tip around $5-10. 2nd visit: It was the Lady with the glasses bruh the moment I tip $5 she look at me in disgust. Walk with attitude and speak her native tongue on the kitchen. No big deal we just felt bad that $5 is not enough. 3rd visit: Same Lady, didn't even refill our water. I have cash on my pocket so Im planning to give her cash. The moment I paid and put no tip. She literally showed me her machine with attitude and say " So you don't give me any tip?" I said Im giving cash. She didn't even say sorry just walk away and said ok. WERE NOT COMING HERE ANYMORE. ME AND MY WIFE WORK ON A TIPPING JOB TOO. BUT WE LOOK AT TIPS AS A BONUS OR GAS MONEY IT NOT LIKE OUR WHOLE BILLS DEPENDS ON TIPS. read more

My default for Thai food around the South SF area that near the freeway. Prices are affordable and the food is great! Highly recommend the crispy chicken!

Reading the reviews, I was really optimistic and happy to find a new place near out home. We ordered it at 5:41pm for it to be delivered between 7 and 7:10 on a Sunday night. It arrived at 6:52. Had it arrived for when we actually wanted it, it would've been colder than it was. They must've cooked it early and had it sitting there. Opening the first box of food, I was quite disappointed immediately. The Pad See Ewe with Chicken looked like hacked up pieces of flat rice noodle. It was all chopped up instead of being ribbons of noodles. Then putting it into our mouths felt like slightly warm mush. The Chubby Chicken (Deep fried whole baby hen stuffed with combination of chicken, pork and glass noodles) was pretty good but luke warm in temperature. The Tom Kha with Shrimp was tasty. We weren't impressed with their Panang Beef. Overall, the meal wasn't good enough for us to return which is such a shame because we love Thai and have been on a quest to find a place to eat at close by. If you mess up staples like Pad See Ewe and a curry at a Thai place plus it's not piping hot, you won't get our business. read more

To be honest I've never had any issues with the food. The prices and service are also both good and very consistent. The issue is that I was eating with my family there for lunch today and saw someone who was working in the kitchen mocking a trans costumer and making rude mocking gestures as soon as the customer left. I was there with my 9 year old child and was not expecting to have to explain to her why someone who had done nothing wrong was being treated so rudely by the staff. read more
