Thai Spoon is a hidden gem! It's a small, cozy restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, and the service was excellent from start to finish. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every dish was packed with authentic Thai flavors, and the portions were generous. Whether you're craving curry or fried rice, you really can't go wrong. If you're looking for delicious Thai food without the crowds, I highly recommend giving Thai Spoon a try. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Really yummy food with a "homemade" feel to it. Love the lunch special (great value), especially the pad ped chicken, and some of the other foods like veggie omelet and basil chicken. read more

We had a delicious lunch at Thai Spoons! The staff was friendly and attentive. The remodel is beautiful, definitely returning!

Ordered takeout from here after wanting some Thai food. The pad see ew with tofu had a spicy taste to it with some sweetness underneath. The noodles had the right texture and there was a lot of tofu in it. It was cooked well and the sauce worked well with the noodles. The yellow curry had a lot of vegetables and was on the liquidier side. I ate it more like a soup than a curry, but it still tasted good. The Thai iced tea was very sweet, just how it should be. The place seemed like a solid takeout spot. read more

We visited Thai Spoons on a Saturday evening, and there was no wait time. Inside is small, but the environment feels very cozy. The staff were also very warm. We ordered the green curry, chicken satay, pad see ew and a side of jasmine rice. All items were so flavorful and the portions were enough for my husband and I to have leftovers. Everything tasted so well seasoned, not too salty, and surprisingly not heavy feeling either. We'll happily be returning. read more

After 30 yrs in business, they have got their alcohol license! And their drinks look awesome! I was there for lunch and hence didn't order it. Hope to go back for dinner and try it out. I love their friendly staff - always making you feel at home. They have up scaled their decor as well. I like the spicy sauces near the order counter. My fav dishes are eggplant delight and garlic veggies. And their fried chicken is pretty good too. read more

Thai Spoons is a cozy little hole-in-the-wall in Sunnyvale with delicious, flavorful Thai food. The service was quick. We tried the garlic fried rice, Panang Nue curry, and pad see ew. Everything was tasty, and the portions were more than enough for two. Their Thai iced coffee and Thai tea were also really good. Definitely a great little spot for Thai food! read more

Thai Spoons - Pad See Ew, Panang Nue curry, and Garlic Fried Rice - Thai Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

3.5 Pretty standard casual Thai restaurant. Their variety isn't as much as other Thai restaurants but they do have some stuff I don't normally see at others... For example the panang nue and the curry delights which are basically the curries with different and imo possibly better veggies. Prices are 10-35% more than some places depending on who you compare against. You can get a pad Thai at other spots for bout 13-18$ but here it's $20. They do pack the Togo box all the way full tho AND they did not skimp out on the protein...my curries both had tons of chicken and beef. Food: Pad Thai- Above average pad Thai. I really enjoyed the flavors. Noodles were solid and decently chewy... I've had stale noodles before which I hate. Garlic fried rice- good and very flavorful but also pretty salty or could be msg. Yellow curry- decent curry. Flavor was just ok I've had better. Tons of chicken though. Panang nue- based on the penang curry. It's similar but not as gritty, nutty, pasty/thick. It was def a bit more watery than I would have liked. There was also quite a bit of oil which I've never seen a penang curry do. I think it could have also used a lil more veggies but it was packed full of beef which is a pro if you're just looking for protein. Overall, decent Thai spot. I wouldn't mind ordering take out from them if I got a deal but I wouldn't make a detour or anything read more

My son and I got take out delivered last night it was fantastic! The Thai ice tea was also very good! Very authentic tasting Thai cuisine! Highly recommended! read more

I will start by saying this is obviously a very cute, family owned restaurant. There's pictures of the family on the menu and a sign it has been there for over 30 years. The server was very helpful in answering all my questions about the menu. But the menu has a strange layout, and it felt a bit overwhelming although not authentic; likely because it's being packaged for a non-Asian audience. We got the yellow chicken curry, pad khing with shrimp, and a Thai iced tea with two sides of rice. The curry was sweet and not that spicy. The pad Khing was heavy on the vegetables, which were crisp and plentiful, and came with about 6 shrimp. It wasn't particularly unique. The rice was just the right amount. It's fine for the atmosphere but not someplace I would go again for more authentic food. read more

Nice and convenient Thai place to order for to go. I tried ordering directly through them online since they had the lunch combo box, which was not on Door Dash or Uber Eats. However, I had trouble as the payment would not go through. I tried several cards and had other people tried, to conclude that it was not just me. In the end, I ended up calling them right when they open to place my order. It was quick and ready in about 15 minutes. I got the half half rice combo with basil chicken, chicken eggplant, and added a third item for an extra $1, to which I got the panang nue. Meanwhile my friends got an order of the tom yum soup and two pad thais, both which they liked. I liked the combo more since I got a variety of things for almost the same price, if not cheaper than their items. Overall, it was quick and easy. Parking was easy too. Came into the store to pick up and was in and out less than a few minutes. read more

Visited the restaurant on weekday late lunch at 2pm. We had the pad ped chicken, it's very flavorful but $21 for a small portion is kind of pricey. Red curry $19+$2 steak, we asked for highest spiciness level 4 but it was served as level 1. We even asked for extra chili . Tom Kha coconut soup $19 with mixed seafood +$6. The seafood was fresh and delicious. Overall the food was good but a bit pricey. I was extremely thirsty after the meal, must be the MSG, I am super sensitive to that. read more

We have been enjoying our favorite Thai delights since before the pandemic. It's always a treat to dine at Thai Poons. The food is amazing and the hospitality is incomparable. I recommend the shrimp appetizer, yellow curry, spicy rice and chow mein level 3 spicy for us but you choose your level. We had our first Thai beer and tea, nice with our dinner. Thank you . We will always come back. The place looks great after remodeling. $77 and we had leftover. read more

I can't emphasize enough that this is one of my favorite Thai food spots in the Bay Area! Not only is the food SO delicious, the staff here is extremely friendly and accommodating. I never had my Togo boxes so well packaged and ready so quick! My all time favorite is their Lunch combos. You have the option for two entrees or three entrees. For an extra dollar, I recommend the three entrees so you can try more food (every thing is 10/10 personally). It's similar to Panda Express where you ask them what you want and they put it on a plate for you. I think it's efficient and you can eat right away (great for work lunches and time crunches) My all time favorite dishes are the eggplant delight, the pad ped fried chicken, basil chicken, egg omelette, and the beef red curry! FYI if they ever run low on an item they make it fresh for you. Super hearty, comforting, and delicious. The chicken is well fried and seasoned to perfection. I can't stop raving about this place plus their new remodel is so cute! read more

The space was clean with a nice aesthetic, and the service was friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, the food didn't match the atmosphere.

Picked up dinner from Thai Spoon and was reminded why I love small, family-run Thai places -- warm smiles, super quick takeout, and food that tastes like someone actually cares. What we ordered: Spicy Fried Rice (Chicken, Hot): Bold, fragrant, great heat. Red Curry (Chicken, Medium): Creamy, cozy, classic comfort. Green Curry (Chicken, Medium): The standout -- bright, aromatic, and incredibly flavorful. Pad Thai (Chicken, Medium): Balanced, fresh, not overly sweet. Everything was delicious, but the Green Curry Chicken was next-level good -- the kind of dish you immediately want again the next day. Friendly service, generous portions, and consistently tasty food ( we went back again the same week). This place deserves way more love. Will definitely be back! read more

I took my 90 year old mom to the Thai Spoons restaurant in Sunnyvale for a quick lunch meal, it's a buffet-style counter restaurant that you point to what you want to eat, the employee dishes it out into a portioned container, you pay for it, and then you sit down to eat at the small tables. The dishes were filling and tasty enough for the particular dishes that we each chose for ourselves, plus we brought home an additional takeout container for my brother and chose a different set of dishes for him. The food was fresh and many working people came here during lunch to patronize the restaurant. Some people sat down to eat their meal, others took out several containers in plastic bags to take them back to their fellow employees. The restaurant has lunch specials for the budget conscious, with extremely competitive prices, which also made this place popular. It's located in a convenient location, with plenty of free parking, and the restaurant staff were pretty nice and friendly to us. Do try this place out for a quick bite, especially if you're on a tight I'm sure that you wouldn't be disappointed. The restroom is located around the building in the back of the restaurant. read more

So good! One of our go to spots for Thai food. Homey feel with a nice variety of food that I don't see at all Thai spots (like veggie omelet and pad ped chicken) read more

I'm so happy that they are finally open for dine in (They were remodeling their establishment). New interior but same great service and delicious food! THAI - So perfect and delicious PAD THAI - There are different protein options but we always choose prawns and there was a generous amount of prawns - The noodles are cooked to perfection, the perfect bounce and chew (not soggy and mushy like other restaurants) - The flavor is amazing, I usually get it spicy but opt out for non spicy because my daughter wanted to eat this dish too. Thai Spoons is her favorite restaurant for Pad Thai and that says a lot when she specifically asks to eat Pad Thai from Thai Spoons LOL - Peanuts are served on the side in a container CHICKEN LAAB SALAD - The amazing flavors that are incorporated into one dish is just so delicious and refreshing...the lemongrass, mint, scallions, lemon... etc. - We love ordering this and eating it as a side to our other dishes SPICY EGGPLANT (I forgot to take a picture) - I like to add Chicken to this dish - The egg plant and sauce all others with the other veggies is so flavorful. NOW FOR THE BIG STAR OF THIS REVIEW... I'm usually not a fan of mango sticky rice but it turns out, I've been trying out restaurants that didn't have GOOD Mango Sticky Rice. MANGO STICKY RICE - The mangoes that this restaurant always picks are ripped and sweet! Which a is a huge plus. Other restaurants will have mangoes that aren't ripped yet or are semi sour but NOT THAI SPOONS... they only serve carefully selected sweet mangoes. - The coconut cream sauce is delicious and not too sweet since the mangoes are sweet - The sticky rice is perfectly cooked! Soft and a nice chew - You better hurry and get your Mango Sticky Rice from here because some times they run out. Side note: I also love their Tom Kha soup and Green Curry but we did not order on this day. 5 Stars for both their customer service and delicious food! read more

the portions are very generous. ordered the pad thai, pad kee mao, green curry, & red curry. food was ready for pick up as soon as I arrived and you can tell they are extremely well organized. they have a good buy one get one free deal through Uber eats ($20 for 2 dishes is a steal!). that said, the flavor of the food itself was ok and definitely different / not my favorite compared to many other Thai restaurants I've tried. the pad thai was decent, but I wouldn't recommend the flavor of the green curry. overall this place is definitely a good deal, but the flavor of the food might not entice me to return. read more

Got some Thai spoons for takeout recently and this is a cute Thai spot with nice ambiance as well as quick service. We ended up ordering: * pad thai - this was ok but we got it with pork belly which was nice. Portions here are generous though but not my favorite in terms of flavor * green curry - this was yummy and not as strong in flavor as I'd want it but as I kept eating it more I enjoyed this dish. The flavors really came out more which was nice Overall I do say the service is great and this was a decent spot, although not my favorite! read more

Very yummy food and great service! We got here close to closing time and the staff was still very accommodating and kind.

Worst experience with this place. Ordered pad see ew and pad kee mo. However they were not good at all. Taste was not exact. No mango on the sticky rice. Severed only rice with coconut milk. Not coming to the place again read more

Been to this family own restaurant many years ago when I was still living in the bay area and now in the valley... the foods still taste the same but slightly diff but they made a change and was very nice to ask us how was the food and if there any changes we can make? The owner son was helping us and everyone else, very polite and respectful. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who want to try thai like homemade meal or in Sunnyvale. Miss the mom and dad, now the kids is taking over and im glad its not closing down. Keep up the great foods n great customer service read more

TLDR: Good Pad See Ew. Friendly staff It's a small space and to get to the bathroom, you have to go outside and go in from the rear of the restaurant. I guess the kitchen is too big and in the way... My go-to dish is always Pad See Ew. It's a slightly sweet and salty noodle dish, that I prefer more than the tangy and more familiar pad thai. The chicken pieces were thin, a bit dry, but not that bad. I like the noodles and the fact that they include broccoli mixed in. The wait staff were very friendly and attentive. All of them (the guy and 3 gals) had smiles on their face when they addressed me, which made me feel very welcome. I think I'll be coming back here, as it's close by. read more

My friends and I came here for dinner so we had everything family style, which was great because it kept the price low. For the most part, everything was decently good, and not amazingly spectacular, but there were items that stood out still. Some of my friends that lived in Sunnyvale were frequent visitors and mentioned how much they returned because they liked the food, and I could definitely see why. To me, the pad see ew and the red curry tasted very authentic and very similar to what I have had in other Thai restaurants across the country, which was a good thing and I definitely had nothing to complain. I thought the spicy fried rice was really good because it had a level of spice that provided flavor instead of overwhelmingly spicy and nothing else, if that makes sense. I also enjoyed the mango & sticky rice, but would love a bit more rice and coconut milk because there was a good amount of fresh mango. Otherwise, I don't have other comments because I don't know what else to say other than the fact that this is a very authentic small Thai restaurant and I think that by itself should be a good indicator that it's worth returning to. read more

Feeding my thai food craving here at Thai Spoons in Sunnyvale CA. This was Wendi and my favorite lunch spot when we were dating over 30 years ago. We used to eat here when they first open back in 1994. The food remains as delicious as I remember. Our favorite dish is their chicken pad ped, which is amazing and is very hard to find on the menu at other Thai restaurants. I know what your thinking, 'look, Jeff is posting pictures of food once again'. Well I believe to share all good things with others. The memories of this place along the food still makes my heart smile. So if you are ever in the area, come check it out! read more

Thai Spoons holds a special place in my heart, and despite the lack of air conditioning in the summer... I would recommend this Thai spot for sure! They have lunch specials and a good variety on their menu. Staff are kind here too! Pad See Ew is always my go-to dish and this place makes it really well! Not too oily and perfectly cooked noodles. We got this with beef and it was really tender (good portions too)! The Pad Ped Chicken is also a solid dish that I've only ever seen here. Deep fried boneless chicken stir fried in mild Thai spices. Very tasty and a guilty pleasure dish. read more

I am very indifferent about the few Thai restaurants I have tried in the South Bay. Thai Spoons has been pretty good. I placed a couple orders with them recently. The spicy and garlic fried rices are a crowd pleaser, especially with the pork belly. Pad see ew was a bit smokey and not too oily; it was one of the better versions I've had. Panang beef curry was tasty. Red curry was good because I'm a fan of bamboo shoots. I will happily eat their tom yum, but it needs more lime leaf and lemongrass flavor. read more

7/18/2024 Thai Spoons 909 W El Camino Real Sunnyvale, CA 94087 We were driving on ECR in SV on a Thursday around noon when Wifey spotted this place in a strip mall and wanted Thai food so I made a U turn and parked in the lot. The place is a little on the cramped size and offered cafeteria style entrees in chafing pans behind the counter. The dozen+ choices were clearly labeled. It was mostly self serve. We both got the 2 choice for $14 with rice. Most of the entrees were veggie or chicken. Our selections were okay, nothing special and not exactly full of Thai spice flavor. It felt like they cater to the American fast food palate. This was okay for Asian cafeteria style value fast food and popular but won't be a repeat for me. read more
