Receipt
Terrysue T.

Came here for lunch on a weekday. There was only one lady working tables and orders. There wasn't anyone dining in. People were seated at tables waiting for their to-go orders. I waited a few minutes before being acknowledged and then seated. Then waited another few minutes before she took my order. I ordered the chicken curry lunch special which came with a salad. The food came out really quick after I ordered. The portion was just right. The curry was yummy. The rice was a little undercooked. The chicken was okay. They used white meat; so if you eat it with the sauce it wasn't too dry. (I personally prefer dark meat or tender meat). The potatoes in the curry was nice. Be aware that either the price went up versus what the menu says OR their system's calculation is incorrect. I was charged $12.30 after taxes but before tips. If the chicken curry lunch special shows $10.95 and sales tax in Union City is 10.75%, the receipt should've said $12.13 before tips.

1. Thai Bar-B-Q Spare Ribs
Nini M.

3.5! My bf was excited to try this place since the daly city one closed and he said it's the exact same! We got the ribs, the garlic short ribs, tom yum soup and pad see ew. I give it a 3.5 because it was good but it wasn't anything I haven't tasted before. It definitely tastes homemade but there was no "wow this is bomb" factor to any of it. My bf loved the ribs! We'll be coming back to try more. The waiter was nice and attentive. Restaurant was empty when we came but a lot of to-gos. We also went at like 530 so not dinner time yet. Love the cultural decor!

Inside

Solid choice. Thai food seems to be the most expensive Asian food but what can I say it's good stuff. We needed a to go order for a quick get together and the service was fast and friendly. The portions were not the big, so we weren't stuffed. Taste-wise, it hit the spot but no stand-outs or phenomenal dishes. Did not dine in but there were a few parties inside. Definitely old and in need of a reno or deep clean, but the stickiness of it all adds to the charm.

Chicken Yellow Curry B.B.Q. Spare Ribs
Jenny B.

The reason why I've rated this 3 and not 2 is because if wer'e talking about the food itself, it would've been a 5. The pad thai, crab fried rice, yellow curry, and the pork spare ribs all tasted amazing. The service on the other hand, I would rate it a 1.5. We got to the restaurant around 4 P.M which was when it said it was reopened. They weren't ready at 4:40 and my family and I had to wait a couple more minutes. When we were finally able to sit down, it felt like the staff who served us was upset at us and felt very hostile throughout the time we were there. I think the most disappointing part is that we had told her that one of us had a peanut allergy and to not include it in the two orders of pad Thai we ordered and she still did. Several of us let her know about the allergy and still added it to both dishes. So if you're there for the food, I'd recommend it but for the dine in experience, I would not recommend that.

Dearest Crab ($12.95)
Rachel L.

Hidden gem for sure!!!! So good, so affordable, and generously portioned. The Beef Panang Curry was one of the best I've had. So flavorful with so many chunks of tender beef inside. Absolutely loved the tender chicken Sate as well as the dearest crab cakes serve freshly hot. Forgot to take a picture, but the spicy basil fried rice was so good too and they give so much! Prices are very affordable. Very casual, hole-in-the-wall spot. Service was just okay, but the food was the star. Will definitely be back when i'm craving authentic and affordable thai with generous portions.

Vegetable Phad Thai
Michelle H.

I've been here multiple times and the food quality is very consistent! The pad thai and pad see ew are very yummy and flavored well. I wasn't as big of a fan of the wonton soup though (came off very peppery) and also have tried one of their chicken entree dishes and a vegetable dish. They were only okay and not something I would recommend from here. Their best is the noodles! Service was good. Usually we see the same guy working and he's always nice and quick with the service. Very attentive! Store dining area itself is also okay, no complaints. It's definitely not the newest restaurant, just about average. Only complaint is the bathroom is tucked away and theres a lot in the way to get there

Garlic pork short rib
Paul M.

When I was a kid living in Los Angeles, we used to go to The Thai Original BBQ on 3rd and Ardmore. That restaurant put Thai food on the US map. I am so happy that they opened a branch here in Union City. The food here really brings me back to when I was a kid. Having lunch/dinner with family and friends. The food here is good. The service is ok (considering there was only one person running the dining floor.) Once we ordered the food came quickly. The ambiance is casual, homey. Great for families, friends, and even date lunch or dinners.

Drunken Noodles (Spicy Noodles) with beef
Jolene F.

Decided to try this place on DoorDash and was pleasantly surprised! I ordered the drunken noodles, Tom Kha, tofu yellow curry, bbq spare ribs and 2 Thai iced teas. Everything tasted fresh and had good flavor. My favorites were the yellow curry and Tom Kha.

Garlic Pork
Brian G.

I ordered the garlic pork and it tasted plain, the woman working at the register was rude, she ignored me a few times as i was asking to use the bathroom before i left with my pickup. So i just went without her ok . Then she gave me attitude when i asked for utensils, I will not be returning to eat here or recommending this spot to anyone. Bathroom was also nasty

Beef Panang Curry
Philip C.

Other than price point, this place is just okay. The beef Panang curry lacked complexity and the noodle dish was very plain. My water glass also remained empty the whole time.

Seating area
Jessica F.

I've came here before but this time I'm honestly disappointed the food wasn't as good and one of the potato's in the yellow curry wasn't fully cooked. The Thai tea tasted different I can't describe it exactly but as if it was expired. The fresh roll sauce was super gingery this time. In terms of the service this is where my disappointment came from it was really busy so we didn't get to have much service but the food came out quickly. When I went to pay with my gf's card I wrote 0 for the tip as it wasn't my card so I didn't want to add anything for the tip without asking my gf if she had cash. I handed over the receipt and the lady grabbed it and stared at it and asked me why I didn't tip. I was so shocked by this question I couldn't even respond not once have I ever been asked that before. She also said next time just order to go instead. The last time I came here it was a different lady and she was very sweet but I'm not sure the name of this lady and because of this I have to give a 1 star review. I wouldn't want anyone coming in and being questioned on tipping.

Ask the Community - Thai BBQ

Does this place still make and serve Mee Krob? I can't find any place in the tri-city area that does.

You can always ask them to make you Mi Krop :).. Call in and ask before going.

Are they doing dinning in already?

We are not doing indoor dining yet.

Thai Original BBQ vs Thai Kitchen? What are the differences and your recommendations?

I never been to Thai Kitchen and probably will never go there as long as Thai OBBQ is still standing. TOBBQ offers great quality food for a reasonable price. I swear I can't find a place who's prices are the same as TOBBQ that are actually worth it.… Read more

This review is much overdue as Chai Thai Noodles has earned its spot into our Bay Area restaurant…read morerotation--usually our go to spot for the basic Thai food. My partner and I usually come for the basic comfort items like Pad Thai, Pad Se Ew, Lao Sausage, and/or their sampler. Occasionally we'd get their papaya salad, Tom Yum soup, or other entrees to share, but I do feel that they don't execute those dishes as well as the basics we frequently return for. I may be critiquing them harder than others on their papaya salad and Nam Khao because my mom does it best (no bias...). However, their portions are large and the flavors are great all around. I think they do some items better than others, but I have yet to be disappointed by any of their food. It's always great to try something new on the menu and be pleasantly surprised. But aside from the food, the customer service and ambiance encourages us to come back every time. They're kind, patient, and attentive all around. Whether we're just picking up food, dining in at peak times or during the quiet hours, they always deliver a great experience. Their dining room is fairly large and they have a softer lighting that compliments that TLC decor well. Through and through, Chai Thai is consistent and reliable.

Always good here! Yellow curry…read more Pad Thai Nam kao Fast service and great quality of food!

Red Chili is really THAT GOOD. My mom loved every dish which says more than enough!…read more All dishes were 10/10: garlic noodles, fish sauce wings, honey walnut shrimp, Vietnamese short ribs It's a fast casual style which was perfect for my family. Their Thai food was so good too the roti cani and any noodle dishes. The cat fish fried is incredible too. We already want to go.

I visited Red Chili Restaurant on March 14, 2026 around 8:11 PM with my wife and nephew. We noticed…read morethe prices were a little higher compared to when we used to dine here before, but the service was good and the food came out on time. We ordered five dishes: seafood soup, choo chee fish fillet, pad kee mao, roti canai, and rice. The food was good and we ended up eating about half of our meal and asked for to-go boxes to take the rest home. Unfortunately, on our way home we realized we forgot the to-go bag with all the leftover food at the restaurant. I immediately called the restaurant and asked to speak to the manager. I was told they had already thrown the bag away because they waited for a while and were preparing to close. I returned to the restaurant around 8:45 PM to ask about it in person. I spoke with one waitress who said there was no manager available. Another waitress came over and I explained the situation again. She said there was nothing they could do, and the conversation became unpleasant. When I expressed my frustration, she told me to go ahead and contact a lawyer and then told me to leave the store. I understand mistakes happen and that food may sometimes be thrown away for safety reasons, but the way the situation was handled was disappointing and unprofessional. A little understanding or better customer service would have gone a long way. We used to enjoy coming here, but this experience left a bad impression.

After a couple of hours sight seeing, we took a wrong turn and ended up in this town and stumbled onto this beauty. It's like a new generation of Thai food for us. Not at all what we're used to or have ever tasted. It was great! A very intimate, joyous fellowship broke out with great friends and an even better atmosphere. Seating is outdoors only and you're surrounded by flowers and the very vegetables we were about to eat. Very surreal! I believe it's the first time I've ordered food and they literally grew it outside the eatery. It was all delicious and I highly recommend you get lost and stumble into them, yourself. I love this place!

Finally made it and they only do take out and cater to just make the food rather than providing at all any public service. No one greets you or offers assistance especially with how the online menu you would order on at this location. Even after waiting and calling out to the people preparing the food for help I still did not get what I ordered completely I was missing the blue rice which would have kept a star up but because I was denied what I asked what was pictured and even paid more since there was a lunch special and told if you want what is pictured on the menu order the dinner item Their online menu isn't updated so don't look at their website Their other locations are way better than this spot which is an express only with rude employees I definitely suggest the other locations in Oakland and Palo Alto Beautiful areas with great customer service and they present their food instead of getting missing items over priced take out only. I will say the food was still delicious and I ate everything but with the blue rice that extra star would be there Expect No help To go only And missing items with the miss communication of rude service The reason stars fell off on my end The 2 stars I did give was just for the food still being delicious but that missing rice made it seem not amazing as the sit down locations aside from here And the other star was for it being close by to me so convenient I would had told all my family and friends but I will tell them to never go here unless you just want the food ok but check the items before leaving Go to their other locations the food and service is far way better than here
