I'm so sorry to leave this review, as the family running the place were LOVELY and the service was great. That's the ONLY reason, in good conscience, I can leave 1 star, because the food was, sadly, a 0 star experience. I was in town from the city and saw the great YELP reviews. I also saw the free Thai Iced Tea upon checkin, so I was sold. The attentive customer service and the CHEAP prices lead me to order 2 meals. One for yesterday and one for today. I clearly should have TRIED the food first. I ordered my go-to Pad Se Ew, and when it came out, the serving was massive! I was stoked. I took my first bite (after trying to get the severely overcooked noodles on my fork) and tasted ONLY salt and garlic. I do not exaggerate when I say this. There was no other discernible flavor of any kind aside from 70% salt, 30% garlic. I went to stir the plate around thinking that maybe there was some sauce on the bottom, but for the most part the noodles were completely sauceless, and as I stirred them, they came apart and ended up in tiny little squares of noodle - - see my pics. The beef in the meal was also extremely overcooked and like shoe leather. I'm not typically a critical Thai food eater - - in fact I don't think I've ever really had "bad" Thai food, but this was virtually inedible. Then came the Thai Iced Tea. I took one sip and it was absolute pure sugar. No subtlety of flavor at all, even sweeter than sweet tea if you've ever had that in the south. Yuck. I was starving so I choked some of the food down and got a to-go box for the rest, and also paid for my second entrée for today. I decided to reserve judgment (because 1 bad meal could be an anomaly) based on today's food. Because my pad se ew was so horribly overcooked, I had convinced myself that the entrée had already been made and just reheated it, and that the reheating was what caused the noodles to come apart and the beef to toughen up. I looked forward to a different experience today. I opened the eggplant and chicken container, and the grease it was floating in came 3/4 of the way to the top, and the food was COVERED in garlic. In addition, the eggplant was so overcooked that it turned into a paste as I ate it, and yet the onions were raw and undercooked - - a gnarly combination. Strangely, the chicken was ok, so I picked at that. In my 30+ years of eating Thai food INCLUDING "street food" in Thailand, I have never had anything remotely this inedible. In fact I'm not even sure I can reasonably call it Thai food - - it was salt, garlic, shoe leather and paste in a bowl. Feel free to read my other reviews and know that I am not one to unfairly judge, and I also run a business that gets most of its clientele from Yelp, so would never do this to a restaurant without reason. read more

Simple Thai - This is the oil and garlic residue left in my plate. This was NOT a soup, and also not a "sauce". This is pure cooking oil. - Thai Near Me - Vallejo, California

Food is always on point and it never changes. The crab fried rice is our favorite as well as the basil chicken. The calamari is hands down another awesome dish. I've been going here since 2017 and it's the best Thai restaurant in Vallejo. Wether you are dining in or picking up to go, the food is excellent. Pricing is very reasonable, try them yourself, you will not be disappointed. read more

It was a ghost town after 6pm on a Thursday night. I didn't mind because I just wanted a quick bite to eat before heading home. I was literally the only person in the restaurant besides the staff. I checked in and got a free drink offer which I was able to use immediately. The drink was pretty good too. It seemed like a mix of iced coffee and iced tea. I was able to order in about 5 mins and everything came out in less than 10 mins, which was perfect. My pad Thai was a large portion (plenty for two people) and very good. The prawns were cooked, cleaned and seasoned nicely and topped with chopped peanuts. The rice was plain and cooked just right too (plenty for two people). Now I'll have lunch for tomorrow, which is always great. Total: $11.10 ORDER 1. Free w/ Yelp Check-in: Thai Iced Tea 2. Pad Thai (with Prawns) 3. Jasmine Rice read more

Who would have thought that Vallejo would have amazing Thai food? My friend and I came here after a deathly early morning and the prospect of a long afternoon ahead of us. What we found was some of the best Thai food we'd ever had, incredibly friendly service, and delicious Thai iced tea. I'm not too familiar with Vallejo, but the area around Simple Thai was a little dilapidated, and I'd heard from many friends that it's not a safe area, especially after nightfall. We came for lunch so that wasn't a concern, but I might be more hesitant if it were dinner. Parking is street, which was decently full so that we parked a block or two away. Service was friendly and very efficient. Thai iced tea: (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/simple-thai-vallejo?select=ib0KgjJP1kuzps7-xkjtmQ#IXwJE_lneUd7jFaOHCNiLA) The thai iced tea here was robust and flavorful, with just the right amount of cream on top. I'm not sure if they used condensed milk or half and half as I know different restaurants have their own preferences, but it wasn't overly milky nor sweet. Pad See Ew with beef: (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/simple-thai-vallejo?select=ib0KgjJP1kuzps7-xkjtmQ#DvLr7B556HmVC0HFxgkkRg) The wide rice noodles here were cooked just right, and they were saturated with just the right amount of soy sauce. Unlike many other places which slightly burn the sauce or let the noodles sit too long in it, these had the perfect amount of flavor without being over or undercooked. The beef was tender, the onion slices added a great aroma, and the broccoli had good texture. Pad thai with shrimp: (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/simple-thai-vallejo?select=ib0KgjJP1kuzps7-xkjtmQ#ib0KgjJP1kuzps7-xkjtmQ) I'd say this is probably the best pad thai I've ever, ever had. It was saucier than most other pad thais, but not in the sense that it was soggy or sticky. The sauce had more a tangy kick to it than any other pad thai I've had, yet it coated the noodles evenly and gave great flavor. The shrimp was fresh, green onions were abundant, and the noodles were perfectly cooked. I would maybe order this without the tofu puffs next time as I found them a little oily, but they did add a nice dimension of texture. I really was impressed with this dish, and I've had to convince myself several times to not drive to Vallejo just for one noodle dish.. Simple Thai is a hidden gem tucked in Vallejo, and it'll be my go-to spot if I'm ever in the area again. read more

Such a great find! The restaurant is clean, well decorated and had a nice environment. Their yellow curry was pretty good, consistency was a little on the thinner side but still delicious! The pineapple fried rice was also good, but only had 3 pieces of shrimp(the shrimp were pretty big so I guess I can understand). The fried banana with ice cream was a nice ending, didn't get any Nutella with it though ALSO I think it was the best Thai Iced Tea and Thai Iced Coffee I've had for a reasonable price too! read more

For Vallejo standards, Simple Thai is by far one of the better Thai restaurants in the area. The waiters were very accommodating for our large group, and we each got a free Thai iced tea thanks to the free coupon if you check in with them on Yelp. Unfortunately, the tea was too sweet for my tastes so I ended up not drinking it. Tip: ask for half evaporated milk to make it less sweet. Everyone in my group ordered something different, from Pad Thai to Pad Kee Mao to Tong Nam. If you're looking for something a little different than the typical Pad Thai, take a look at the sautéed dish options. I wanted something more adventurous and healthier than my usual Pad Thai, so I ordered the Prad-Prig-Khing, a stir fry dish with green beans and onions in a red curry paste topped with lime leaves. Fun fact: this dish is also known as a dry red curry in Thailand! The portions were huge, so that's a plus for Simple Thai! My dish tasted sweet and mildly spicy, which was what I preferred. Because of the large portions sizes, I ended up saving half my lunch for dinner. I didn't mind eating yummy Thai food for leftovers. Overall, everyone in my group felt happy and satisfied after a scrumptious meal here. We will be back! read more

Simple Thai - Pad-prig-khing: stir fried green beans and onions in red curry paste topped with lime leaves. Known as Thai dry red curry! - Thai Near Me - Vallejo, California

Service was great, food was fresh and hot and most importantly so good. Jason was very helpful and attentive. Love this place!

I enjoyed the Thai food served here as much as I like their "competitor" Maya Thai. Honestly, I think there is more than enough room for both restaurants in the Vallejo area. The one thing that I appreciate here is that very spicy means very spicy. At other Thai restaurants, the chefs are afraid of putting in enough spices. But after ordering the drunken noodles here, I am happy to know that I have a place to get my spicy fixings. read more

Service, food, cleanliness all 5/5 I will be coming back. Host gave good recommendations and was very helpful

Nice simple decor, and ambiance! I ordered the Larb ped. It tasted great a little on the salty side for me which led me to ask the question, "do you use MSG"? And yes they do but they said it was just a little. I'm praying I don't get a migraine because I should've probably asked before I ordered. So be aware, if you have food allergies to MSG like I do then maybe you can ask for them not to use any before ordering. read more

Simple Thai - Thai Near Me - Vallejo, California

I checked in with yelp and got a free thai ice tea. Now that was a nice little incentive to try this place. It was my first time here. Food was so flavorful. Service was good. Had to wait a bit for the food but we were behind a big party. The food made up for the wait. Green beans and tofu were delicious. I loved how the tofu and green beans were fried to perfection. Pad Thai was not too sweet which I liked. Yummy pineapple fried rice. I definately recommend curry #43. Meat was so tender and there were lots of veggies. Curry sauce was amazingly good. Nice portions. Street parking. Only one bathroom. Small spot but worth coming back. Too full to try the dessert but I will be back. read more

Simple Thai is finally open for business!!My family is so delighted they are open. During the pandemic, we've tried so many different Thai restaurants and they do not compare.

Simple Thai does not disappoint. read more

Horrible service and the pad Thai was not edible it was gross and the chicken was frozen, it tasted old.

Update: Apparently under "new" ownership. Visited in October, 2018 - terrible customer service. I ordered a dish with shrimp "only," and when I arrived home, dish was loaded with pork & chicken...a few shrimp sprinkled in Adios - Simple Thai! read more

Simple Thai - interior - Thai Near Me - Vallejo, California

Discovered Simple Thai near my husby's worksite one day. Didn't even realize it's been on Tennessee Street for a few years. Parking outdoors is fine if you come during weekdays at non-peak hours. Location a bit sketchy and old town. But once you come inside, the place is decorated with a slightly elegant flair. Love the little hut in the middle of the place----classic Thai. The Thai Iced tea and Thai Iced Coffee were excellent. I wanted more. The lunch dishes of chicken, beef, vegetables with spices delighted my palate. Will come back for the curries and the fried banana dessert. read more

Love that this restaurant will customize for vegan options! Sometime it's hard to find parking but worth a try!

Very friendly service, food is fresh and authentic! Parking is rough though. We ended up parking behind do the building and crossing our fingers that our car wouldn't get a ticket or towed. The food had great flavor and served in beautiful dishes. Also enjoyed the art hanging on the walls. Don't forget to check in! You can get a free Thai tea :] read more

So glad it's back open and just as delicious as ever! I always get pad Thai, never a disappointment. I honestly tried every where else around town while they were closed & nothing could compare. So glad you're back read more

This is my favorite place to come to in the area and in the second Thai place to open after 10 years (way better than Cha-am). It's located on the corner near a school, bank, and as their local dining options. The hours are often very and sometimes they are closed for vacation randomly so best to call ahead. The inside seating is of moderate size (30 ppl approx max) This service is an excellent quality everything you would expect from affordable dining. The waiter (your guy I forget his name) is always friendly, quick, and efficient. The food is as of equally good quality. You don't have wait long for it and they will always make it how you order it. I always order the pad ke mao bt recommend the pad thai and salads as well! read more

I really enjoyed my dinner at Simple Thai. The gentleman in front was attentive and extremely friendly. I was able to get my free Thai Tea (yum) after checking in which is a big plus. My daughter loved her bbq chicken dish and I thought the Prawn Pad Thai was super tasty. No complaints here. Someone mentioned that the atmosphere felt young and I have to agree with them. It's a good thing! The music in the background allowed my daughter to sing along with the songs. Thank you Simple Thai. We'll definitely be back for another Mommy/Daughter Thursdate! read more

Came on a Saturday night around 7:30PM. It was pretty much dead with only one small group dining in. Most Thai places I dine at, the food comes out within 10-15 minutes even when its busy. We place our order, another person orders 10-15 minutes after us and also receives their dish before ours. Its about 45 minutes until we get our Pad Se Ew, Roasted Duck, & Papaya Salad. Under no circumstance should it take 45 minutes to get our food with practically no one dining inside. While we were patiently waiting and asked the status of our meal, the guy said that the take out orders were a priority in the kitchen. As for the food, would be a 4/5 for me. Great flavors on everything we ordered. But with that said the service that night is unacceptable. Since the people eating at the actual restaurant aren't important. If I called my order in, I would have been served a lot sooner because we saw a lot of guest come and go with their orders. Probably won't come back anytime soon. read more

I have had my share of Thai food through the years and this is up there with the best in the city(e.g. Osha and Marnee). In ways I prefer it over the two. Very happy to have this in Vallejo as the options seem limited. read more

Hugely disappointed with the service but amazed by the food. My friend group came here around dinner time, a good 2 hours before closing, and there was only 1 wait staff member for the very large group in the back and a few decent sized tables. We got no greeting and waited roughly 10-15 minutes before we were seated. I understand if you're busy, but at least acknowledge us and tell us you'll be with us soon, or at least apologize when you seat us about the wait. We ordered 3 thai teas, they all came at different times. This was a huge problem, none of our food (and I noticed this same problem with other tables) came out at the same time. In fact, my friend who ordered the same time as us got her food, was able to finish it, before I even got mine...and then when I was half way eating mine, our last friend got her food. It was ridiculous. Additionally, our 3 thai teas, as I mentioned before, all came out at different times but that didn't make sense to me. If our waiter, who made the drinks, was making 1...why not make all 3 and bring them out? It's not like it was a few minutes of a difference, we received our first thai tea and didn't get the other two until after my food came, easily 20 minutes between the first delivery and second delivery. Suggestions to make this place a perfect 5 star, because the food is very good already: -Hire more staff members -Decorate the place read more

AMAZING thai place. This is definitely my go-to thai place now in Vallejo. Had the Garlic Galore, which is definitely my favorite, but the pad thai is solid as well. Probably the one thing that makes this place stick out beyond all others is the service though. Our waiter was the nicest guy, and I will definitely be coming back again to grab some of this awesome, affordable thai food with great service! read more

So glad I stopped in at Simple Thai today while in the area. I picked up my lunch order of Pad Thai, and a Thai iced tea, and my lunch did not disappoint. Next I will be back for dinner to try more of the menu items, (Pad ma kur sounds really good). I haven't had lucky finding a Thai spot that I really like, until now. I wish i'd snapped a pic before I ate my lunch, I will next time. I will definitely be back and snap and share my pics before I dig in. Can't wait to come back this way and have Simple Thai again. read more

If not for how decent the food was, I would have given this place 1 star. Although the SINGLE staff member was nice, we waited over an hour for our food. We saw 3 different groups that came in before us who all ordered, ate, and left before we even got the majority of our food. We probably came on an off day especially when the cashier was also the cook and there was no one else to support him, which honestly sucks. I think the owners of the place could employ more people if that is the case consistently. What I didn't know was that you can pre-order your food to be made and then eat it at the restaurant. While this may work for restaurants with more staff, it should not make the individuals at the restaurant to wait anymore than they should. If that was the case, I would have just ordered my food over the phone to sit at the place and eat it. I think waiting over an hour for food is unacceptable. I hope that can be improved for future customers. On a side note, if you check-in here you can get a free thai tea, which was pretty good as well. read more

What a SHAME. See, the food? The food is quite tasty. Very nice. Well, my salad tasted like nothing but raw red onion, but everything else was quite good. After having had a good experience here with a friend a few months ago, I decided to arrange for a group of friend to meet here. Now, my salad took over an hour to get to me, but that wasn't the big problem. No, the big problem is that the waitress flat out tried to rip my party off. We asked for separate checks at the beginning of the meal, and were told that we have to all be on one check, as we were a group of 8. All right, a bit of a pain for us, but our group included an accountant, several service industry veterans, and a 17 years of experience math teacher. We had this. We all passed the menu around, added up our individual orders, added the 8.625% sales tax, and, being generous, calculated the tip from that total- the meal and sales tax combined. The check was listed as having a 15% gratuity automatically added, which hey, that's fine. Even calculating it after tax, okay, it's fine. Problem is, the bill was about $20 higher than it should have been. One small issue, but for sure not a $20 one, was that she had listed 7 people as ordering rice, when it was actually 6. But we asked her to please tally up the total for us because the discrepancy made no sense. At this point, the waitress became angry. She lost her temper with us, snapping at us, and telling us that there was tax and tip included. Yes, we knew that. But the numbers did not add up. Finally, after a bunch of angry words on her part (we were calmer than she was, though I started to lose patience) she huffily tallied up three separate checks for us. Interestinlgy enough, what she tallied up (after adjusting for -$1.25 since one less person wanted rice than she thought) was the same as what we had tallied up, including tax and a 15% tip. Sorted, right? No, she got angry and yelled at us about how of course the group getting charged all together was going to be a higher bill because of sales tax, and yes t was more than people calculated but that normally people just "soaked the difference" and threw in more money. Uh, WHAT? WAIT. 8.625% is 8.625% It doesn't matter if it is ($50 X 1.08625) x 1.15 and then another ($50 X 1.08625) x 1.15 Or ($100 X 1.08625) x 1.15 The total is THE SAME. ($62.24, by the way.) If you claim that the second equation leads to a higher price, let's say, $70, it's because you are adding on an extra charge, bilking the customer. And getting angry at the group for catching you in the act instead of getting embarrassed and "just soaking" it DOES NOT CHANGE THAT. Unfortunately a couple of my softer-natured friends handed over the extra money rather than deal with a confrontation, thus rewarding the waitress by basically allowing her angry tantrum to force a higher tip, which she wanted them to believe was mandatory. No, you ripped them off. Plain and simple. I understand that dealing with groups can be stressful and hard. Of course, you were also really pushy and not everyone was happy with the service, but they were all willing to pay 15% anyway. But lying and cheating customers by trying to charge a much higher tip and claim that it is mandatory (and yes, she did WRITE 15% but that isn't what she charged) is not okay. At all. At ALL. Maybe you are bad at math, okay fine. Many people are. But getting angry when your numbers with the separate checks, including tips, matches ours, and plainly stating that you could have forced a higher charge out of a group check because people would just overlook it or shrug it off and soak the extra cost? That is absolutely deplorable. I wish I'd gotten a video of that. People, I don't know if the other wait staff try to pull this off, but that waitress will try to rip you off. And she will treat you like crap if you catch her at it, too. I cannot in good conscience recommend this place to anyone, with this sort of behavior. She's running a wee little con job to line her pockets. If, by some chance, the mandatory group tip was 18% or something, then it should have been written as 18, not 15, and the waitress should have calmly and politely explained that when we told her we didn't understand why it was as high as it was, instead of the angry babbling she gave us, never once stating that the mandatory tip was some other percentage than was listed on the bill. *EDIT* To the owner: Mean things? Do you know which person in the party I was? I stated that we were being overcharged and the math was wrong. No reply from you, I note, about that. Nor, if you are the owner, did you bother to come out to speak to us. She yelled at us. As for the friend who apologized, he says: "All I said to them was I'm sorry, we just feel we were cheated on the final bill. Don't take it personal." The entire party agreed outside that we were ripped off, treated unprofessionally, and were never coming back. read more

Simple Thai is simply marvelous cuisine, prepared with exquisite care and concern for the customer. It's certainly nothing fancy, yet it's light years beyond the surrounding neighborhood. The interior of the restaurant appears a bit unfinished at first, and yes, it maybe is in the rear of the seating area. What's not unfinished is the kitchen, or the training of their chefs. I was put at ease ordering over the phone when I asked if they could do "Vegan Pad Kee Mow and Pad Thai". The pleasant sounding girl on the phone said, "Sure no problem. No fish, eggs or oyster sauce, right?" I'm not sure I've ever heard that from a Thai restaurant. It's most likely because my girl had been here several times already to go over the Vegan options on the menu with the chef. Most everything can be Veganized other than the curries which are made using a pre made paste, rendering them unfit for Vegetarian consumption. In fact, the service here should be noted as being exceptionally good. Both the young girl and guy have been very helpful both times I've been there. I couldn't ask for anything else from the service side. One bite of the Pad Thai and I could tell that this wasn't just an ordinary Thai joint. The flavors were intense without any nasty "add ins" that other restaurants rely on. If Simple Thai can give their food so much flavor, then how come other places can't match this? The dish of Pad Kee Mow was massive in size, with a flavor to match. I'm a huge fan of this dish in general, so I'm happy to report that their rendition is... fanFREAKINtastic! It's not especially spicy unless you request otherwise. Just enough to tickle your internal scoville scale. It's a bit oily for sure, but isn't that where all the flavor comes from? Simple Thai makes heading to Vallejo something to look forward to, rather than dread. The neighborhood may be dumpy, yet just step inside the confines of Simply Thai for great food and excellent service. I feel that Simple Thai is simply the best Thai Food around, and my forever +1 agrees... http://www.yelp.com/biz/simple-thai-vallejo?hrid=RFyl0_ViNhwuaUhjfx78rw read more

Simple Thai - Vegan Pad Kee Mow to go w/o fish sauce or any of the usual sneaky Thai flavorings. Five stars! - Thai Near Me - Vallejo, California

Vallejo is not known for being vegan friendly. Heck they don't even know what "vegan" means. When my coworkers want to go out to eat, I usually pass and just eat at my desk. Finally, a Thai place that serves to all dietary restrictions. This restaurant is under new ownership and with the new owner he completely revamped the place. They painted the walls, new art work and a brand new menu. The owner Bao and his staff are very friendly. He was a cook in San Francisco and knows Vegan food very well. I found out, I couldn't order any of the Curry since they contain fish paste (imported from Thailand). So sad!! Instead I was able to order the Pad Thai without fish sauce. They added fried tofu and mixed veggies. The PAD THAI was awesome. Great flavor! The portions can easily be shareable. They have an extensive vegetarian selection. The downside of this restaurant is they do not have a lunch menu. All their dishes are a la carte ($9.50-$11) which means you have to order a side of rice. As for dessert, I was sadden they don't offer mango sticky rice. According to the owner the mangos are not in season and he didn't want to offer a dish he didn't think would turn out well. Thanks for thinking of us Bao!! As for dessert, they do offer the fried banana and Mitchell's ice cream. I have a new lunch hangout with my coworkers (until I get a new job). Check this place out and make sure you check-in on yelp and get a FREE THAI ICE TEA. GREAT SERVICE AND GREAT FOOD in a not so good neighborhood. read more

So, after craving some thai food.. I found myself visiting this place after reading thru some initial reviews. Not many places around Vallejo for thai, and I've only tried out Thai Kitchen to which I wan't too impressed with. I'm not the type to give out 5 stars that easily.. so I'm going to mention that I am basing this on a few factors. Factors that a typical reviewer considers when rating a place. - Relative to other similar restaurants in the area.. which there really isn't too much around. (it's easy for a restaurant to be "the best" when there isn't much other competition around) - Service and friendliness of the employees - Food - Atmosphere So the first part is simple.. there's like 2 other thai restaurants I know in the general area.. and having tried at least one of them, Simple Thai is in no question in the lead. Compared to other thai restaurants I've ever visited, I can still say that this place is still in the top half to which I'll explain. Service was great and friendly. A little easy for the staff to do when there isn't too many patrons at the time. Granted I walked in about 15 minutes before they had planned to close. Something that I always found a little annoying about Vallejo.. a lot of good restaurants start closing at 9pm unless you're in a more populated shopping area, but I was at least able to make it there. Greeted in by the restaurant owner and seated by a friendly waitress. Another guy took our order and though I don't really remember his name at the moment, he was pretty cool as well. Food! I ordered the gang-dang (red curry) with duck, pineapple fried rice, and my gf ordered the ka-ree (yellow curry) with chicken. Magnificent. The reason why I came here was to fulfill my craving for thai food.. and it was. Even though I had a little bit more of a craving towards getting something like pad thai.. after reading thru the menu, I opted towards the duck curry and pineapple fried rice.. which was delicious. Good food, great service, and a nice atmosphere to enjoy it all in. A nice hole in the wall place hidden away. Glad I found this place. Gotta love Yelp for that. read more

My friends and I were rather glad to find a Thai restaurant in close proximity to Touro. While the food and prices were decent, i was rather surprised by the speed of service! I think we sat down at our table and waited for 20 minutes before we had a chance to have our order taken. (During this time, there was only one other table taken too) I had the chance to try two of their noodle dishes! Pad Thai: This was a pretty typical pad thai in decent portions. Their flavoring was pretty typical, and thankfully not too salty. There weren't very many pieces of chicken however, and my friend nearly thought he ordered vegetarian by accident until he found one. Pad Siam: The portion for this is a tad smaller than the pad thai, and the noodles were not quite I expected. They use what tasted like instant-ramen noodles, but complemented it with decent seasoning. Thai iced tea: Free with checkin! Nothing to complain about free! (probably upped the review to 4 stars from 3 for it!) The flavor is pretty strong and it's a pleasantly creamy consistency. Overall, food is not bad and I'm just glad that there's a Thai restaurant close to Mare Island. I've heard that their red curry is extremely good, and will definitely be returning to try some of their other dishes! The service was on the slower side, but we were on a study break so we enjoyed the time off. For all you yelpers here, definitely remember to CHECK IN! Get your free thai tea. read more

this is the best thai food (or literally any food) i've ever eaten... anything i've ordered from here always tastes insanely good, like, everything. i've. ordered. !! you could throw a dart at the menu and i guarantee it would taste delicious! my entire family orders from here on some saturdays and everything they have eaten as well was sooooo good... it's crazy how good this family is at cooking. i would rate them 10 stars if i could honestly :)) so flavorful and yummy read more

I'm really picky when it comes to thai food, but this place is great! It's nice to have an authentic thai place in Vallejo besides The regular Cha am. The service was great, our waitress Emily was really sweet about recommendations, taking pictures for us, things like that. Their thai tea is awesome, rich, creamy, and so worth it! Not overpriced like other places as well. I ordered the pad thai and it was such a large portion and tasted great. I'll definitely be coming back here again. :) read more
