    Kai Yang (B.B.Q. Chicken) Dinner
    Gino C.

    This is still consistent on all food offerings and prices are great. But we just wanted to update the owners to please clean up the area and specially the restrooms. We understand it is busy but have a look and see. The food is so good and hate to see the cleanliness in detail is not a priority and may loose business. The front door glass needs wiping so please please clean up before someone posts negative reviews because of this, a quick clean up would make a difference. For years we have been telling the server but no one seems to listen. We still live the food and will update again.

    Receipt

    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.

    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.

    BbQ spareribs lunch special. Got 2 rice since I told them no salad please. The thai spring rolls is really good and flavorful! This is hidden gem all their food is freshly cooked and very delicious.

    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.

    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!

    $16.95 for angel wings and shrimp fried rice? Amazing price for what you get! I've only had a bite of the angel wing and the exterior alone was so flavorful. Staff is very friendly I highly recommend!

    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.

    Pad Thai chicken

    Ordered chicken pad Thai last night at 8:30pm, to go. The chicken is hard and dry like a jerky, the noodles are deep red-brown and is super salty. The tofu is burnt dry-crisp. This is not edible! Wasted $16

    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.…

We had the purple-colored Ube Pancakes and the Khao Hom Waffle, which contained strips of fresh coconut meat, and both beautifully-plated dishes were topped with berries and syrup. I was an even bigger fan of the Thai side of the menu, starting with the Papaya Salad, a refreshing, crunchy mixture of shredded papaya, green beans, tomatoes, and crushed peanut in a spicy, sweet, acidic dressing made of fish sauce and lime. For our mains, the Northern Thai Khao Soi was a noodle soup made of egg noodles and chicken breast strips in a rich coconut curry, topped with crispy egg noodles, pickled cabbage, and fried shallots. From the Chef's Special menu, the Tom Yum Crab Omelet was a mound of jasmine rice enveloped with an egg omelet, topped with chunks of crab, mushrooms, and a creamy tom yum sauce; and my favorite dish was the Roti Gai Tod, a hearty combination of breaded chicken thigh, roti (a flaky flatbread), cucumber salad, jasmine rice, and a mild but flavorful yellow curry sauce on the side. Overall, everything we tried here was delicious, and the service was super quick and friendly too! It's hard to go wrong with anything on the extensive menu--what a great hidden gem of a restaurant in downtown Hayward!

Tom Yum Crab Omelette- the best one to get since it has creamy tom yum sauce, a soft omelette, drizzled with a slice of lime, and crab meat with a few mushroom slices on top of fluffy rice. Khao Hom Waffle- coconut pandan waffle with fruits and syrup on the side. I wish they replaced the syrup with coconut milk syrup for better flavor and used no coconut shreds as a topping. Ube Pancake (side order)- one thick ube pancake that turned out dry when eaten with syrup. Never order anything that is not Thai on the menu. They should add Thai Tea pancakes to their menu with housemade Thai Tea syrup to make it more fusion. Pad Kee Mao w/ Chicken- I regret ordering this because the string beans were half raw, the tofu was dry, and the dish was a bit spicy. I should've ordered Pad Thai or Ka-Pow Short Rib Benedict instead. Thai Tea- strong and sweet, not too watery. It was less crowded when we arrived at 10 am on the weekend. The waitresses were fast and efficient, and the restaurant was nice and spacious.

After a long day at the beach, we were craving something warm and comforting. Since they close at 8:30 PM on Sundays, we called around 7:30 PM to reserve a table for four at 8:00 PM. I was a bit hesitant about coming in so close to closing, but the team was super welcoming and assured us it was no problem at all. When we arrived around 8:05 PM, the restaurant was buzzing, completely packed with a full dining room and a constant stream of takeout orders. Even with the rush, we were seated right away . The food was spot on as always: My Kids' Favs: Chicken Satay, Pad See Eww, and Thai Iced Tea, all huge hits with the kids. Pad Kee Maw (Drunken Noodles): Absolute perfection! Loved the heat and rich flavor profile. String Beans Chicken with Steamed Rice: The sauce had the ultimate spicy and tangy balance, exactly as requested. Portions are generous, so we even ended up with delicious leftovers to bring home. The service stayed attentive straight to the end, the staff thoughtfully checked in before closing the kitchen to see if we wanted anything else. We declined since we were completely full (and had already indulged in donuts and coffee earlier), but we appreciated the kind gesture. Consistent quality, vibrant flavors, and wonderfully accommodating hospitality. Highly recommend!

A lot of Pad Thai tends to lean heavily on the sweet side, which isn't really my preference. Sala Thai's is still slightly sweet, but it's much more balanced and not overly sugary like many others. I also recommend the Pad See Ew and Pad Kee Mao. The crispy fish is another must-order for me--the crispy texture pairs really well with their house-made garlic sauce. I've also catered from Sala Thai for my wedding, and everything turned out great. The owners are genuinely nice and were very accommodating, taking the time to work with us and make sure our needs were met. That experience made me appreciate the restaurant even more. Overall, a solid spot for Thai food with consistently good dishes and owners who genuinely care about their customers.

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.
