This will most likely be my new go-to Thai spot when I'm feeling lazy to cook and don't want to drive far to eat Thai food. I ordered the spicy crab noodle at mild level spicy. The chili sauce was perfect and tolerable for my dish. My boyfriend ordered the medium level spicy for his pad Thai and it was definitely harder to eat/enjoy. As an appetizer, I highly recommend the fried pancake type bread and the curry dipping sauce. This was a crowd pleaser while we waited for our food. I ordered the Thai tea and it was extremely sweet. I had to mix it with water to dilute it, and even then still pretty sweet. Our waitress was friendly but the kitchen forgot one of our orders and my friend had to wait 15 mins after we all got our dishes. Overall, we didn't have a terrible experience but just had to ding them for forgetting my friend's dish. read more

I tried this place for the first time last week. I got the lunch pad see ew. It was SO GOOD that I was back again this week. They weren't open for dine in last week but seemed to possibly be open for dine in this week. I was there right after opening so I was one of only a handful of guests that I saw come in. Their food is delicious and they are quick to make it. The lunch special also comes with soup which is also pretty good. So glad this is on the way to my office. Will definitely be a new regular here. read more

Fav Thai food restaurant in south San Jose. Beautiful restaurant with friendly staff. Love how you can see the chefs doing on the woks right when you walk in! Everything taste fresh and authentic. They have a lot of options of stir frys and noodle dishes. My favorite is the Thai basil chicken, Tom yum soup with shrimp and pineapple fried rice. We always get seated fast even if it's busy. read more

Such a bad service, attitude lady because she think she is sister of the owner restaurant. Like I mentioned ordered togo pakphad ( associated veggies with garlic) and bring home only have some tofu in there , the price is $13.95. It's not only pricey but not how to handle situation when I call back the restaurant let them know I found hair in my tofu and she said ok make it up , come back and get it. I gave them a chance and this time they put alot of oil , soggy on my order , can not even eat or share with anyone , have to throw away. Phew need to open up your eyes because Thai Garta just one of option in Bayarea for thai food. read more

My husband and I came here for dinner yesterday...good decision because the restaurant still had the heart decorations/vibe, minus the Valentine's Day dinner crowd. :) Food, service, and ambiance were all great. We will be back! :) read more

Decent Thai place with a nice interior and quick service! Fairly empty when I came on a Thursday lunch. Food: I got the Tom kha soup and it was really good and sweet but had a good ratio of veggie and tofu and soup. The soup also came with free daily soup which was nice. Service: Super fast and hands off and the waiters checked in periodically to give us water. Ambiance: Super casual and clean place. Good place to catch up with a friend! Overall had a decent experience, nothing special but the food was good and cheap. read more

Ima be honest, this is not my go to spot, but being in the South side, it is convenient and the place isn't bad. I get the same basic items everytime I am here. Chicken pad thai and Chicken pad kee mao. Basic I know, but it's usually all I crave when I want thai food. I am not going to over order and over eat! The food here is a little on the sweeter side. I may not be a spicy eater, but no spice here is too sweet. I usually have to ask for mild. It's always packed here, so don't come when you're super hungry. They do get people in and out quickly and the food comes out quick, but do keep in mind if the restaurant is fully packed. read more

I LOVE this place - one of my favorite Thai places in the bay. I come pretty often for lunch with coworkers or takeout dinner with the family or to just grab Thai tea when I'm in the mood. Their lunch menu is pretty great for noodles or curry - pad see ew is my go-to, and I would be careful with the spice levels because even medium has a kick to it. Overall, highly recommend checking this place out. They're also located in a great plaza near some other great joints like sweet retreat for ice cream, Starbucks, tleaf for boba, jamba, etc. read more

Thai Grata - Thai tea - Thai Near Me - San Jose, California

I came here for lunch. I ordered the pad Thai lunch special w/shrimp. Service was very quick and the noodles were delicious

We love Thai Grata! We love the food and service that we've received during these times. I have a staff of 12 employees that we buy lunch for. I love the fact that they label the food entrees with their names and order. It makes it easy and it ensures the employees get the correct order :) Thank you Thai Grata for being open during these times! We appreciate you! read more

Amazing Thai cuisine Small entree size for the price but reasonable compared to other Thai restaurants in the area Whole fish and drunken noodles are the best dishes on this menu Small seating arrangement if it's busy be prepared to wait read more

Everything we ordered was great! Fresh and hot! The service was fast and the staff friendly. We will definitely be going back.

CHECK. YOUR. RECEIPTS. A friend and I dined here a few weeks ago and I always tip to the full dollar amount. When the charge went through, I noticed on my credit card bill that the amount had cents on it. Luckily, I'm neurotic enough to save my receipts for a few weeks and saw that I was overcharged. Yes, it was under a dollar, but charging any amount over what a customer tips is illegal. I contacted the manager and of course at first, no response. After a couple weeks and a couple more tries, I finally got in touch. I sent her the image of the receipt. She looks back and basically implies it's only cents and she can refund that amount back to my credit card or deduct from my next visit. I'm like "uh???" And she says "okay, $5" with a smiley face. HAH. This whole time, I was trying to be nice. But this tipped me over the edge. I gave her an earful that she doesn't seem concerned her staff just adds extra charges to bills -- not even one apology at this point. And working in the restaurant business with family members owning restaurants, this is unacceptable and should be addressed with more gravity. Typically restaurants should offer a complete refund or a gift certificate or something. But nope, this lady is trying to haggle $5 with me. Lol. -------- Update: the server mixed my card with my friends and switched our bills. still offering to refund me back the cents -- forget it. Moral of the story remains the same: CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS! read more

Very authentic Thai food which is rare in the South Bay, very nice staff as well. Portions are relatively small. I eat pretty spicy food (like I am ok with habanero) and their level of spiciness is indeed Spicy! So brace yourself before you order anything spicy, not your typically Americanized Asian 'spicy' food. Will come back with friends or family as it can be a bit costly for two people as their portions are small. Overall I recommend their quality of food. read more

When I arrived, the place was packed. It's tastefully decorated and it has high ceilings, so it feels roomy. The service was mediocre (even when it emptied out they weren't very attentive). The food was good although the chicken for the Pad Se Ew was a bit on the dry side. I enjoyed the chicken satay with the smooth peanut butter dipping sauce. I'd come back here again to try their other dishes or Door Dash it. read more

thai grata i am not a fan. a friend recommended this restaurant when i stated i was craving thai food. when i'm on the south side i usually go to oros thai but because they don't do indoor dining yet, i went here. the place had maybe two tables occupied but a lot of people coming in for pick up. we bought spicy basil fried rice with seafood and pad thai with prawns. the food came out rather quickly which was nice since we were starving. the pad thai was a little to "wet" for my liking. i figured i'd just take it home and eat some fried rice with my cousin. their medium spice is no joke, be careful! the rice was the star of the show. my sister ate my leftovers and said that the noodles were too wet as well. at least i know i'm not crazy. if i ever were to come back, i would just order their spicy basil fried rice. service was nice and prompt which i liked. they didn't continuously come to my table which i love. we shall see if we return to this establishment. read more

Was craving some Thai food and this place came up. Not bad, satisfied my pad Thai craving. Cute little location, service was very fast I ordered lunch to go. Food was presentable looked appetizing. Food portion was a bit smaller than what I would say normal Thai places serve, but don't get me wrong was still very filling, you just don't leave a little extra in the box for later cravings. I would return to try more food items. read more

Thai Grata - Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - San Jose, California

Been coming here for years for the roti & pad Thai! Called in a pretty large takeout order yesterday and everything was amazing! Very friendly staff, even went over each item when I picked up to make sure I got everything I needed! read more

This is our go-to Thai place. The best food by far. Yes, the price has gotten expensive, but that goes for all the local Thai places unfortunately. The catfish and greenbeans and the golden bags are amazing. Highly recommended. read more

Great food and service. Restaurant is very clean. One of the better Thai restaurant in the area.

Came to Thai Grata for a late lunch after work and while I was waiting for my tires to get fixed at the nearby Wheel Works (it's a great walk, just in case you're wondering). I love their affordable and diverse lunch special options. OODLES OF NOODLES! I got the Pad Kee Mao with calamari...YES calamari is an option for your meat! They also have lots of veggie options and meat too. So everyone will find something they want! Food wise, the taste was there, portion was great (I didn't have to take any home, and I didn't leave overly stuffed), and there were people from nearby businesses and workplaces eating here. I wish I had more pieces of calamari (grilled), but I'm glad there was a big portion of noodles. They also brought me some house soup to start with, but it was a hot day so I didn't have any of it. I love that the service team were actually comprised of Southeast Asian folks. I think having people who know about the culture and the food that's being served makes the experience (even lunch) that much better. Some extra tips and tricks: No wifi here, but there are a bunch of places nearby that do have it...like TLeaf for boba and Starbucks as well in the same plaza. Thai Grata closes in the middle of the day too, so be aware of this! read more

Thai Grata - Lunch special: calamari pad kee mao - Thai Near Me - San Jose, California

Roti Prata, Thai Iced Tea, and Chicken Pad Thai are my favorites when I come here. The roti prata comes warm and crispy served with their yummy yellow curry sauce. The roti is enough to feed two people and is cut similarly to pizza pie slices. I recommend ordering the Thai Iced Tea with light ice so you get more of the drink itself. It's pretty sweet but hits the spot. The Chicken Pad Thai can be dry at times but if you ask for a bit more sauce, it'll make the dish all the more better. It's interesting here since you can choose calamari as one of the add-in options. read more

Thai food is the Best here. I love the Noodles and curry soups..yummo!! I always eat here at least 2 times a month and it always hits the spot!! read more

Love this place food on point and amazing service can't ever go wrong eating here!!! Thai hot is really hot love the Thai tea a must for me.

A family go-to! We love Thai Grata for all the classic thai dishes, and I'm absolutely addicted to the pad thai. It's especially tart and sweet compared to other pad thai I've had, and dangerously delicious. read more

It's better than Good. It's Grata! The eight noodle and four fried rice dishes are the same price, depending on the meat.. I wish they offered a combination of chicken and tofu, but the meat options are separate. The chicken pad thai ($13.95) was not amazing but not bad. It was a little slimy when served and, as usual, it was better at home the next day after being refrigerated. I wish they would put Leftover Pad Thai on the menu. The yellow curry was tasty. Most of them at $13.95, they have six curries: red, green, yellow, jungle, um...Tim? Stephan?) I ate my roommates leftovers. The pad see ew, which they said was too sweet, was delicious, as was their beef fried rice. What makes it my favorite Thai in the San Jose so far besides that it large and not overly bright, the star of the menu is the Tom Kha soup ($14.50/large). Though I've had creamier soups, this is the best in recent memory. Flavorful, rich, full of quality chicken, with cilantro and baby corn, and no weird hard pieces of inedible bamboo, which always act as eating speed bumps. read more

I came here for my first time for dinner with my dad. Upon seeing the menu, my first thought was "wow, this is kind of expensive, but I'm craving Thai food, so hopefully it's good." We ordered the pineapple fried rice, pad thai, and red curry (mild). The dishes were rather large which was great since we were both starving. The food was alright; I definitely left feeling full. It was good but I've had better elsewhere. The fried rice was served in half a pineapple, so the rice at the bottom was definitely very pineapple-y. Yum. There was also a few pieces of shrimp but I personally thought the shrimp was not very fresh and slightly over cooked. However, the amount of pineapple taste in the dish was just right. The pad thai was pretty good. When first served, it doesn't look like a whole lot, but the noodles are hidden underneath each other and it's actually a very generous sized serving. Finally, the red curry with a side of steamed rice was delicious. My dad ordered it mild spicy which I thought wasn't spicy at all. Next time, I'll probably get medium. But the curry was really tasty. It had some bamboo shoots in it which was definitely a plus. One bowl of curry could probably be eaten with two or three bowls of steamed rice depending on how much curry you eat with the rice. The service was decent. We were checked on every now and then and they even offered to box and bag up our leftover food for us. I wish that the view out the window was a little better than watching people park for the grocery store next door. read more

WHY WE WENT HERE: - American places seemed they'd be too packed for Mother's Day - decided to go to an Asian restaurant - came here because my mom's co-workers kept raving about it THE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE): - located in a plaza off Blossom Hill somewhat connected to where Johnny Rocket's is - seemed like a quaint place THE LOOK (FROM THE INSIDE): - earthy tones (paint and furniture) - Thai Buddha statues by the entrance - framed enlarged photographs on the walls HOW IT WORKS: - unlike most places where you walk in and are greeted by a host upon waiting to be seated, it was like a ramen shop, where you write your name and party size on the clipboard, to be crossed off as seating become available THE MENU: - spiral notebook - appetizers - house specials - soup - salad - entrees (choice of tofu, chicken, pork, beef, prawns, or calamari) - noodles and fried rice (choice of tofu, chicken, pork, beef, prawns, crab meat, or calamari) - curry dishes - vegetarian - side order - desserts - beverages - beer WHAT WE ORDERED: *sidenote: because I'm a Yelper, my mother was unfamiliar with Thai cuisine, and one of my brothers has nut allergies, my family entrusted me to order everything - appetizers: 2. Crispy Veggie Thai Spring Rolls, 3. Chicken Satay - house specials: 8. Thai Honey BBQ Pork - noodles and fried rice: 36. Pad Thai (chicken) - curry dishes: 52. Roasted Duck Curry (mild spice) - side order: white rice, sticky rice - desserts: sweet sticky rice with mango, fried (vanilla) ice cream - beverages: Thai iced tea HOW IT TASTED: - 2. Crispy Veggie Thai Spring Rolls: came with a vinegar dipping sauce; hot and fresh, tasty, not oily - 3. Chicken Satay: chicken was rubbery but it came with a thick peanut sauce (which saved the chicken and made it more edible) and a diced cucumber mixture - 8. Thai Honey BBQ Pork: looked like grilled beef! very savory - 36. Pad Thai (chicken): up to par - 52. Roasted Duck Curry: more soup vs. meat and vegetables, meat to vegetable ratio wasn't evened out, very tender duck and tasty curry! - sticky rice: good (best eaten with hands vs. with a utentil) - sweet sticky rice with mango: they ran out of mangos so ours was substituted with mango ice cream, the sweet sticky rice was very soft and creamy and not too sweet - fried (vanilla) ice cream: devoured; crispy on the outside, but not super melted ice cream core - Thai iced tea: up to par CUSTOMER SERVICE: - it WAS Mother's Day and it WAS pretty busy, but I felt that our server neglected us read more

delicious food, great and quick service, and great portions. would recommend, and def coming here again :)

Wow!!! $20 for a large Tom Kha soup it was delicious but not worth a recession inducing price!!! I know costs are high in the area but this high??! read more

Our daughter suggested that we have dinner here this evening, and we're glad that we took her advice. We have ordered carryout from here once or twice in the past, and this is the first time to dine in. We're not big eaters, so we generally order an appetizer or two, along with a couple main dishes, and share everything. The Tom Kha soup with prawns was exceptionally tasteful, as were the Crispy Veggie Thai Spring Rolls. The main dishes that we shared were the Spicy Eggplant with tofu and Red Curry with chicken. Both were excellent. All three of us left full and satisfied. We'll be back. read more

I came here for to celebrate a surprise bday celebration. It was very easy to make reservations for a party of 17 people. I got there 30 minutes before the reservation time, and the table was already set. The waitress was really nice and they allowed me to sit and wait for the rest of the guests to arrive. I got my drink right away, too. I brought an ice cream cake for the bday girl, and they helped me hide it in the freezer. =) When everyone arrived, the waitress stopped by to take our orders. I decided to order the Pad See Ew with chicken ($9), which is pan fried flat rice noodle with sweet soy sauce, egg, and broccoli. Our food came out fairly quick, and probably within 10 minutes of ordering. It was nice that all the food came out all at once, so no one really had to wait and watch the rest eat. The Pad See Ew was really good. The noodles was chewy, so it wasn't overcooked. There was plenty of egg and broccoli in the dish. I'd definitely order this again, but I can't wait to try other dishes in the future. When I was done with my meal, I went to the kitchen area to ask for the ice cream cake. It was nice of them to try to put it on a plate, but I left it in the original box. The waitress even had paper plates ready for me. Since it was an ice cream cake, they gave me silver forks instead of plastic forks, too. After we paid, we continued chatting at our table for another hour. It was really nice of the servers to not kick us out..lol. Overall, Thai Grata has good Thai food. The place is bigger than what it appears from the outside. The service was good, too. read more

Thai Grata - Pad See Ew - Thai Near Me - San Jose, California

it's a 3.5. Golden bags seemed to be a big deal there so we ordered a portion to share. I found them way too dry (the filling). I then had a lunch special Pad Ka Prao, "hot". Well "hot" is really hot ! Watch out before ordering "Thai hot"!! It was nice. Slightly too salty but tasty. It's the closest to the real Thai taste I had since I live in the south bay. Plik Nam Plah (fish sauce with chili) is available on demand but they will charge oyu for that (and THIS is ridiculous) I think I'll go back there for lunches. read more

Food was a disappointment, dishes had the feel that they were assembled rather than cooked. Meat and veggies were just added to the sauce and served. Chicken felt like it was reheated multiple times. Nice ambiance and service and quantity was ok. Parking tends to fill up on the weekends and have to search for it. read more

This place is my go to for Thai food. Consistently good food and service! Come get your spicy on.

Meh. For some reason, I remember Thai Grata to be much better than it really is. Even with 3.5 stars on yelp, I decided to dine in. The restaurant was fairly empty on a Wednesday night. The service was quick and attentive, but the dishes lacked flavor! I ordered the pad see ew, tom yum noodle soup, and satay chicken and didn't love any of it. Pad see ew needs more seasoning, tom yum was way too sweet, not sour or spicy enough (even though I ordered medium spice), satay chicken was okay. However, I did enjoy the pickled cucumbers and peanut sauce that came with the satay chicken. I honestly wouldn't come back, as there are better Thai restaurants around South Bay. I'm still giving them 3 stars for a clean restaurant with great service! read more

So good! I brought my teenager here she never had Thai food before. She loved it! We had yellow chicken curry, rice, pad Thai and chicken satay. We liked everything except the chicken satay. Thought something tasted off about the sauce. We ate at the restaurant small but very nice compared to most Thai places. Service was spot on and place was amazingly clean .We order take out regularly here too. read more

The food and service is good here but the biggest drawback is their price. For any dish such as green curry, pad see ew, or any fried rice. they charge a ridiculous price of $19 which is 25% more as compare to nearby Thai restaurants. Also the ambiance is not that great to pay for such a high food price. On top they are not on ubereats or doordash so we can't order any takeout's using an discount coupons from these pickup apps. read more
