    Decor
    Neeta M.

    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.

    Pad Thai packed to the brim
    Frank L.

    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

    Pad Khing
    Amelia D.

    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.

    Lunch combo
    Stephy L.

    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.

    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.

    Thai beer
    Sonia L.

    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.

    Green Curry Delight (Non-Vegan) and Yellow Curry Delight with tofu, Thai Iced Tea
    Julia T.

    I've only ever gotten takeout from here so I can't comment on the in person service or inside the restaurant but the food is good! Large portions for average Bay Area prices. The curry delights have lots of delicious veggies, more than the average curry. Would recommend for takeout!

    I went there Friday around 7:30, not that many people, food get delivered in 20 minutes. It's a pretty small and cozy place. I like the food a lot, definitely will go back.

    Three entree Lunch Combo
    Lauren K.

    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!

    Restaurant Front
    Meenakshi T.

    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!

    Lunch 2 or 3 items buffet options
    Vivi B.

    I love this family run restaurant! The food tastes so authentic it reminds me of when I was in Thailand. The basil chicken is one of my favorites. It's been remodelled and has really clean lines and decor. You can choose 2 or 3 items for lunch with either white or brown rice. Then add one of the chili sauces to your liking!

    Chicken Laab Salad
    Narissa C.

    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!

My wife and I consistently come to Cap't Loui for our beloved Friday date nights at least once a month. We are ALWAYS so impressed with the yummy food (we always get 2lbs shrimp/2lbs crawfish combo in Medium Cap't Loui sauce with garlic noodles, garlic bread, and Cajun fries). Wifey and I are stuffed after this but will cleanse our palate with complimentary popsicles in the freezer by the entrance. So yes, the seafood boil and food is absolutely phenomenal. But even MORE impressive is the generationally excellent customer service, in particular from Aung and Edward. They are true servant leaders and I noticed they take care of each and every patron as if they were family members or royalty. Between the delicious food and the brilliant customer service, you better bet your bottom dollar that my wife and I will continue having our traditional Friday night dates at Cap't Loui!!!!

    4.5 Stars Rating (:…read more Been hearing about Cap't Loui for awhile now, but haven't tried it until now! I usually go to Cajun Bistro for seafood boil, but I find the quality of the seafood there to be inconsistent, which made me want to try a new place. I got the 4lb combo with crawfish (frozen, fresh is $5 extra), shrimp, and clams, including corn, sausages, and potatoes. We also got garlic noodles and a calamari basket with cajun fries. For seafood boil sauce, we opted for the cajun instead of lemon pepper. I wasn't sure if I would finish everything, but it was INHALED. I really like the seafood quality here, but sauce-wise, I prefer Cajun Bistro for the garlic butter sauce. Cap't Loui does not offer that sauce, but it was still delicious overall. Service is timely and our food came fast, so thats a big plus. Only complaint I have here is that I wish there was more sauce in the bowl. The bowl had too much food, so I couldn't dip or soak my seafood in the flavor.

    Despite my fondness for Cajun food, I've tended to avoid seafood boil places because it's so messy,…read moreand so difficult to get the meat out of the crab shells (or lobster, or shrimp if they come with shells as they do here). But when I saw that this far-from-ubiquitous chain had opened an outlet right near my home, I figured I'd try it. And I was pretty satisfied. First off, they have a lunch special, which is smaller than their regular combo. Second, you get two out of a choice of half a dozen shellfish: I picked clams, which are really easy to get the meat out from the shell, and crawfish, which aren't so difficult to extract the tail meat (the only edible part worth the trouble) from either. Comes with potato and/or corn. Third is that the food comes with not only a bib and a towelette, but clear plastic gloves. I put these on and felt no difficulty in eating off them, and they did keep my hands clean. I like that. Although there are two levels of spiciness below "mild," I found the mild to be not too spicy, and the Cajun seasoning was delicious, worth scooping up in my gloved hands after I'd finished the seafood. Not too large a meal - maybe next time I'll have a full combo - but tasty. Attentive service - someone was watching to see when I was done, and came over right afterwards.

They're good, but not the best I've had. With my combo 1, I got head-on shrimp and clams with the atomic sauce and mild spice. I heard the atomic was a combination aka Whole She-bang etc. which is what I normally get from seafood boil places. It was ok, nothing too special, very chunky sauce with lots of garlic. The mild spice, however, was really more like a medium spice as it only took a couple of shrimp to really feel it. For my head-on shrimp, most of the shrimp heads were already like detached from the body which defeats the entire purpose of it. They were also on the small side which I know it's by the pound but it's noticeable. It was very underwhelming in terms of that. The clams were good, not much to say about those other than they were absolutely drenched in the chunky sauce. Overall, this place is ok. Nothing really stood out to me compared to other seafood boil places.

My dish was one of the last ones to come out and before it came out, a server had come around with a bowl of parmesan, offering it to those who already got my order. However, since I got my dish after, I never got the chance to ask for parmesan. For dessert, I got a slice of tiramisu, which I also thought was okay. There was uneven amounts of lady fingers (took a photo of the better side but the opposite side was mainly just cream). Probably could use a bit more dusting of cocoa powder as well. I did feel that the service felt a bit rushed and disorganized (such as forgotten utensils), though it may have been a one off day.

Also enjoyed the fish roe rice bowl that came with it but I think I could've used a bit more rice since the crab was more savory. **Spicy marinated crab: Seemed to be a bigger portion than the soy crab but it was different type of crab. This marinade was too sweet imo. ** Bossam: Pretty standard and tasty but the large size wasn't very large. Service was so friendly and sweet. We did have to ask multiple times to get a refill on banchan and by the time it came out, we had finished our main dishes already. The parking lot here is usually tough to find a spot but maybe because we beat the dinner rush, there was plenty.
