Good food, excellent Thai tea, great service, and I love that they're vegetarian friendly. Will visit again soon

This was my first time here. It was the only Thai place open at the time and I realized it is inside a mall. I was a bit skeptical but omg! I love it. They give you a little soup and a small Thai iced tea with your meal. And the pad Thai was delicious. Will def come back. read more

complimentary unlimited thai tea? oh hell yeah! and theres this cute little girl who refills your thai tea.. makes you want to buy something just because shes so cute. my bf and i went there for dinner. he spilled his thai tea and there was no problem. the people there are SO NICE! got pad thai and curry fried rice with crab. yum. rice was a LITTLE dry but still good. pad thai = thumbs up. dessert was sticky rice since mangoes werent in season. man, i love that sticky rice. $25 for both of us. score! =) read more

Scrumptious thai food for only $7.50 per entree with complimentary thai iced tea AND soup...no complaints here! It's definitely not a restaurant, but part of the Grand Century food court. However, you still get table service because a lady checks up on everyone to refill the iced tea. Sometimes I see two kids running around helping and handing out menus (they're like eight years old or something) so there is some form of child labor going on here, but heck if I care! You also get a lot for what you pay for, more serving size than actual Thai restaurants. There is a plethora of items to choose from, and well, it's a place that one comes back to. Yum! read more

I will definitely eat here again. The service was great. They offer free sweet n sour soup while you wait and come around and refill free thai iced tea. I'm not vegetarian but ordered the vegetarian pad thai and they were really kind and asked whether I wanted eggs or not and even mentioned that the sweet n sour soup had shrimp paste flavoring and asked if I still wanted some. The portions were also really big. read more

Love the food. Didn't care for the Pad Thai as much as others did, but the spicy crab noodles was one of the best I've had. Also, the tea while you wait to pick up your food is a cute bonus. Love it. read more

Uuuugh! If I had known that by naming themselves Thai Lovers they meant human hair accompanies every dish, I would have never gone. I tried this place for the first time with my boyfriend. Situated in a mall and resembling very much like a fast food restaurant, Thai Lovers nonetheless seemed to be a promising new place to find quality, low-priced thai food. The menu was nice as it came with large photos of the items, most dishes were priced around $7-8 dollars. My boyfriend ordered curry crab meat fried rice and I ordered the pad thai. I figured that since they boasted of being the "home of the pad thai" I should be making the right choice. Our food came after just 5 minutes of wait. I was excited to try my food and especially hungry. As I mixed the sprouts, peanuts and noodles together, I was struck to find a 4-inch, black strand of hair intertwined with a rice noodle!!! I did something I would not usually do, I simply picked up the strand of now oily hair, ignored it, and simply asked the waitress for another pair of chopsticks. The waitress looked at the hair dangling off the chopstick and quickly replaced the tainted pair with a new pair. I started taking a few bites of my food and found it rather enjoyable. I tried very hard to push that "hairy" incident behind me. My boyfriend offered me some of his curry crab meat fried rice. As hungry as I was, I was delighted to try some. I scooped a mouthful of rice and found it quite tasty. I then went in for another spoonful, when suddenly I spotted yet another hair in my food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a black eye lash about 1/4 inch. I feared I might find a pubic hair next. This was the last straw since I had clearly lost my appetite. I told the waitress that I kept finding hair in my food and showed her the lash resting on my paper napkin with a few pieces of rice. She took the lash and went behind the counter to tell the other employees. The staff behind the counter huddled and an older woman put on a hat, taking care to tuck in all her hair under it. The cook walked out the kitchen and left the premises. Still no direct response from the restaurant employees. Growing increasingly uncomfortable, my boyfriend and I decided to address the issue and leave. So, my boyfriend went up to talk to someone that looked like the manager/owner. The young man offered to make two new dishes. However, we did not want this since our appetite was clearly destructed by the surprise hairs in our dishes. The manager/owner went on to defend his staff saying that they were careful and that this kind of thing had never happened before. We asked if the cook staff wore hair nets. He avoided the question. In the end, he insisted that we pay fully for our barely touched dishes. No customer service, no responsibility, no apology. I would never go back to this place again. I highly urge people to not go to this place until they practice more sanitary procedures. Trust me, I'm all about supporting mom and pop shops but not if they don't treat their customers with respect and don't abide by sanitary conditions. read more

I came here somewhat skeptical of trying the food since it was a stand in the mall. I played it safe and ordered the pad thai. I was about to order a drink when my friend tapped me and said, "They serve free thai tea and cotinuous refills." Awesome isn't it? Although I have to mention that the cup provided is small. Therefore, my cup had to be constantly refilled. How was my pad thai? It was good. I had low expections in coming here, therefore, the food exceeded my low expections. It wasn't the best pad thai I've ever had but it was good enough. read more

I went to check this spot out after hearing about it on Yelp, and ordered a lot of food bc me and my bf were so hungry. We ordered the Panang chicken, Crab Noodles, Pad Thai, and Papaya salad. All the food was pretty good except I wasn't very impressed with the Crab Noodles as they were somewhat tasteless. The complimentary soup and thai iced tea were delicious also. Now here comes the not so good part. I took the leftovers home and when I later reheated the Pad Thai, it became a cheesy consistency, and I swear they use cheese in it, which is really weird. The Papaya salad also smelled funny just a few hours after it was made so I don't know what the hell they use to make the food but it seems kind of sketchy. well, you get what you pay for. read more

Cash only but it does the job when you feel like Thai.

Mmmmmmm yummy place for sure.they have the most legit pad Thai!!!!!and always giving refills on that delicious Thai tea. :). I come to eat here often everytime I'm in grand century ,anyone should come and try the pad Thai and Tum yum soup without coconut mill!:) read more

I've to the plaza so many many times, but I only ate here once.. i ordered pad thai if i remember correctly.. ehh.. i dont really like it.. i guess its not nasty or anything but not good.. its in the food court by the way.. i never thought i would want to come back here.. but i might give it a second chance after looking at so many good reviews here.. i'll come back to update my review if i change my mind after giving it the second chance read more

Was craving some Thai food and found this place thru yelp. It's located in the food court section of Grand Century Mall. They have the usual items here i.e. pad Thai, BBQ chicken, basil chicken, fried rice, etc. There are only a handful of items on the menu so don't expect to get any "special" items. I ended up getting 3 items for a grand total of about $24, so the price was not that bad at $6.99 per plate. I'm a huge fan of pad Thai and their's was maybe a 7.5 rating. The noodles weren't the usual thick, flat ones that I have usually had, and the portion could have been a little bit more. Overall, I'd definitely go back. I LOVE the complimentary Thai iced tea. (even for take out!) read more

I been here several time and the people here are always friendly. They are willing to change their ingredients to what you crave. Every meals comes with FREE thai tea (free refills) and soup which is always a plus. I ordered the spicy beef and basil rice dish which comes with papaya salad. This dish was tastey and the heat of this dish was medium to my taste. The portion to this dish was just right. I would definitely come here again. read more

Still a magical hole in the wall. Some people say that the pad thai is meh, but I personally think it's very flavorful and the portions are huge for the $7 you pay. I also regularly buy the pad see ew, which is pretty tasty for what it is, and the pineapple fried rices are also delicious. Stick with what's on the wall menus for what their main specialties are. The food is consistently delicious and you can tell it's popular because there's always people eating there. Props to the awesome chef, refillable thai tea, and the complimentary tom yum soup that hits the spot! The sticky mango rice is also delicious and humongous, and is a nice alternative to having to go to a restaurant and ordering it. I remember there used to be the SWEETEST waitress here, I believe she was Thai, but recently the staff has changed to mainly vietnamese people. :'( i wonder where she went. read more

I am a fan of this place, but I'm not sure if I would go out of my way to eat here. Each entree comes with soup and thai iced tea (with free refills)! The ladies are nice, food comes out very quickly and appears to be made to order. Chicken pad thai is pretty good! read more

OCCASION: I was hungry and the boyfriend wanted me to try Thai food. I've had Thai food before at my friend's house but have never ate out at a Thai place. He dragged me to Grand Century food court and order Pad Thai and this other noodle dish. FOOD: I tried both dishes and ended up only liking the Pad Thai because he ordered it not spicy. The other noodle dish was too spicy for me. I can't take spicy! The Thai tea is on the house! Unlimited and free refills from the server! CUSTOMER SERVICE: The lady who took our order was nice. The server was very nice and attentive. She refilled our free Thai tea and took away our dirty plates. Food came out fairly fast. PRICE: Cheap. Overall Thai food is made especially for spicy food lovers. I am not one of them. Good place to get to-go Thai food. Eating there is alright. Pad Thai was delicious and awesome unlimited Thai tea! read more

Came highly recommended. But the food did not really meet my expectations. The Pad thai was pretty decent though.

I was told that this place has the best pad thai! I have been here twice now and I have to say that it's only so so. I had better. They give you free thai tea as you wait for you food too so that is nice. Overall not the worst place in the world (that title belongs to Thai Town in Milpitas) and the costumer service is pretty decent. read more

I never liked Pad Thai until Thai Lovers and now it's an addiction I just can't kick! Not to mention the Tom Yum and refills on Thai ice tea... I think their pad thai is perfection... Panang Curry with Tofu is yummy too but I just can't get enough of the Pad Thai, chewy noodles with just the right amount of flavor and spice after I squeeze on the lime, it's as soulful as soulful gets! read more

Love their complimentary Thai tea. Even when I order for pick-up, the lady in the front still gives it to me :) So far I've only tried their house fried rice & their pad thai. The portions are perfect and the prices are affordable. Most thai places charge way more than they do. Very delicious!!! read more

Came here a few times for lunch already. The portions here are pretty huge so share if you can. They have free thai iced tea and is refillable:) I love the pad thai, green curry and tom yum soup here. Very flavorful and tasty. In addition, the food here is inexpensive. Plus no tips required. The only drawback is that it is situated in a foodcourt in a mall so ambience is not that great. A good place for casual lunch though. read more

Reading the reviews and then eating here it's like I am eating at a completely different place from these other reviewers. I love Thai food, but the food here was not even good enough to give two stars. I am giving it 3, instead of 2 for the awesome service. I got the Thai pad (shrimp) and it was horrible! Not to mention that there were only 4 shrimps on the whole plate. My son got a chicken noodle soup and he could barely eat it (he's been having Thai food since he was 9 months). My husband was the only one who liked his food and he got the chicken yellow curry. I also tasted it and it was ok. I do not think I would even come back here for another meal, unfortunately. Maybe it was our choices of food or the day of the week...But overall...not a good experience. read more

Decided to try a different location for Pad Thai, than my usual. Not disappointed at all, complimentary Thai Tea and Tom Yum Soup. Highly enjoyable, and flavorful. read more

Located at Grand Century Mall there are an array of Vietnamese food ( Bahn xeo is my favorite) this place is in the corner and I must say this is the best! They have great dishes my wife and I enjoy the Tom CA and the other hot and sour soup. We have tried there chicken curry, papaya salad, fish dish, pad Thai, and pad see ew... Also they have wonderful stir fry dishes that has basil. List goes on and on.. As if I'm at home and grandma is cooking me a home cooked meal.. Plus unlimited Thai tea! read more

We got the Pad Thai and Fried Rice with Pineapple and both were good options. The soup was delicious but the iced tea was a bit too smoky for me. I felt like I was drinking from some sort of sweet tea water-hookah. read more

Thai lover is definitely one of the better places to get Pahd Thai around here. I've ate at countless Thai restaurants lining up from Gilroy to San Francisco and i like to believe i know a good pad Thai when i eat one. haha And this place has a pretty good Pah Thai. Other than that i dont find much in this restaurant that appeals to me. Although most of their other items on the menus are good too. But they're just not spectacular..... Also the environment along with the customer service definitely could improve. I do like this place. I eat here every now and then when my girlfriend has the cravings for thai, but if it wasnt for the fact that it's so close, i would have went somewhere else. Its a personal opinion, you might like this place more than i do. Go and give it a try! =D read more

I had a tasty pineapple fried rice. I would like to come back and try other items. Also they gave unlimited Thai iced tea. Dangerous for my calorie count! read more

Very Casual but very good food. Their fried fish and noodle soups were good. Tom Yum is also very good.

The food is ok at best. i had the lunch special fish with eggplants. yeah..it came with 5 little nugget of overcooked deep fried fish and all eggplants. what can i do right?!?! read more

I've only tried their pad thai. It was good but nothing special.

For the price, and yummy food cannot go wrong. Their ped see ew, pad thai, and papaya salad 5 stars in MY tummy. Every order comes with a complimentary thai ice tea and a tom yum soup. Thai Lovers is one of the best place to dine especially in grand century. read more

Great tasting food for a great price! Their food isn't cooked until you order it so everything tastes super fresh. The service is also great! 5 Starsssss read more

I don't really eat thai food but this is one of the few places I go to with friends. I love adding lots of the dry spice no the thai food as it takes off the taste that you don't want to eat anymore because its too usual (that weird asian word). The best thing about here is that you have unlimited thai tea, you can pour yourself, they can pour for you, its limitless! read more

As you can read in other reviews for this place, this is a great value for the money. Generous portions, bottomless thai ice tea, and hot soup with every order. Service is minimal (it's kinda like a mall food court, so it's NOT about the atmosphere), but the food is consistently good and cooked fresh to order. The Golden Chicken restaurant that is affiliated (and next door)with Thai Lovers is very good too (Korean short ribs are tasty) and they have excellent soups and Mango with Sticky Rice and Fried Bananas with ice cream. There's a great smoothie/pearl drink place next to it too...but that's another review! read more

It was good for the price, filled me up. Nothing special. Still yummy, don't think I have to go back for seconds. I ordered the seafood pad Thai, I've had better. I think overall the asian ghetto in Berkeley serves better selections then Century. read more

Free tom yum and free Thai tea (with refill); pineapple fried rice & pad thai are the only thing I would eat here. Sweet owners though ;) come back only when I'm near, not worth it if you live REALLY far. read more

This is where I ate my first Pad Thai and I got to say, it was pretty good ! I always go there for some when I am craving it. The service and nice and great. I always call ahead in the car so when I arrived, I can just Togo and eat it at home. Got their number saved ! But if you don't want to do that, they will always give you a drink while you wait ^_^ read more

Thai Lovers - Thai Near Me - San Jose, California

I don't care about any other upscale Thai restaurants, this one is my favorite. Friendly people and GREAT food. What more can you ask for? Also, free Thai Tea refills, can I get an AMEN?! Love love love it here. read more

Yummy Thai food in the most unexpected of places! Watch out because their "medium" spicy is nearly what you'd expect their spiciest level to be!!! But then the complimentary Thai iced tea definitely helps to cool down the heat. :-) Yum, yum, yum! read more
