    Sautéed Vegetable and vegetable fried rice
    Rebekah M.

    A Plant-Based Paradise with Soulful Thai Flavors If you're vegan, vegetarian, or simply plant-curious and craving something nourishing and full of flavor, this Thai restaurant is a must-visit. I ordered the sautéed vegetables and vegetable fried rice, and both dishes were absolute perfection--fresh, vibrant, and cooked with care. The veggies were crisp and colorful, sautéed just right to preserve all their natural antioxidant goodness. The fried rice was comforting and satisfying without feeling heavy, a perfect balance of flavor and wholesomeness. This spot is more than just a meal--it's fuel for the body and soul. Every bite feels heart-healthy and made with intention. Whether you live plant-based or are just looking for a cleaner, conscious meal, this is the kind of place that makes you feel good inside and out. Highly recommend for anyone seeking soulful, veggie-forward Thai food in a warm, welcoming setting. Service was fast and lovely as well will be back!

    You know when you cant stop talking about how great the food is the place has to be good. And sure enough while staying in Santa Maria for a week I searched up best Thai Restaurants in the area. This restaurant was in the top ten so my mom and I decided to try it. When we arrived the door had a sign that said cash/venmo only accepted. So make sure you have either or as forms of payment. It will be worth it trust me. We were greeted by Jay Nipomo and seated promptly. Impeccable customer service. Met all are needs. Water was filtered, not tap. Always had extra napkins. Ordered the Pad See u with beef, yum salad Ribeye, tom yum soup with chicken, lettuce wrap name sod & crispy rice, chamomile citron tea. Everything is an must try. Served fresh all veggies and meats. I've been to quite a few Thai restaurants and hands down this one is the best that I have tried. You can tell the cook puts their heart and soul in every dish. Delicious! Will definitely return when I visit again. At the completion of our dinner Mr. Jay packed our left overs. He took his time to find out where we were coming from made us feel at home. Thank you so much its rare to have such great service as this.

    What an amazing place! This is the best Thai food place I've need too. We had a party of 6 during dinner and the service was amazing! Super friends staff and the food....OMG the food!!! Everyone at the table raved about their food!!! The table ordered one of every category. Started with Pot Stickers and edamame! Mmm mmm good. We're here on a Wednesday night so it wasn't too busy or loud. I will definitely be back!!

    If you havent come in. Youre missing out. Im telling you. The chef here, Jay, makes some of the most insanely delicious food. Chris and Tanya are always helpful and friendly and suggest the best food to eat. Panang curry Bb chicken Ramen Thank you thank you thank you for making Nipomo a little more delicious.

    Always a pleasure to dine at Thai Villa. This authentic Thai restaurant is locally owned. 100% fresh ingredients. You'll meet the owners and the chef every time you dine here. Portions are large, great local wine, selection, craft beers with a fun, lively, casual atmosphere.

    My New Year's goal is eat healthier so I ordered take -out. An order of fresh veggie spring rolls for dinner tonight. They were fantastic and the sauce was delicious. Everything I have ordered from Thai Villa has been very good. I like dining there because the dining area is so nice and elegant, Service is great. I was greeted with kindness and my order was ready when I arrived. FYI, They only accept cash or Venmo.

    Pork Knuckle Special
    Matt A.

    The food was the best Thais I've had on the central coast - and the service was some of the best service I've had in my life. The personal recommendations of the special pork knuckle, and genuine care for the experience of the customers was heartwarming. Just as they care for the food of their patrons, they care for the cleanliness and ambiance of their restaurant. It's the cleanest, nicest restaurant in Nipomo- for sure. She asked me if I thought there was a market for all-you-can-eat crab.

    Chris and the staff and the food and the ambience is phenomenal. The drunken noodles and chicken pad Thai and the bbq chicken, outstanding! Delicious and flavorful and authentic, Highly recommend this hidden gem in Nipomo and come get your food groove on. 10 out of 10!!!

    Delicious! Very reasonably priced! Great, friendly service! it's a must visit!…read more We have passed by here many times, but the place never seemed that appealing from the outside. Located right at the corner of a V intersection, but the parking lot is tiny, maybe enough for 6-8 cars max. The inside is not any bigger. With about 6 tables total, it's actually never completely full every time we have been here. What surprises us each and every time is the amount of to go orders they get! Literally, at least 1 call in/walk in/online order every 10-15 mins! Having been to several Thai restaurants on the Central Coast, Tasty Thai is the cheapest so far out of all the ones we've been to here! Their portion is also good for at least a couple dollars cheaper per dish compared to anywhere else! With the exception of the Panang curry, which has great flavor, but just too watery like a soup and not enough veggies/toppings, every single dishes we have tried here have been great to excellent! Our go to dishes every single time are satay chicken 10/10, beef salad 9/10, pad see ew with beef 8/10, and we would make the effort to try a new dish for that second entree. Excellent mom's and pop's restaurant! Give them a try! You will not be disappointed.

    Went for our first time after having this place on our places to try list. It did not disappoint!…read moreThe food was great! I got the fat noodles and had them done spicy. Rest of my party got pad thai! Everyone commented on how delicious the plates were. Our waiter was upbeat and very knowledgeable. He had answers to all of our new customer questions. The place is small and the food came quick. Lots of people in there for lunch. Thats always a good sign. I say try it!

    Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. The shrimp wrapped in wonton dough was overcooked, oily,…read moreand had a bitter taste. The coconut-based soup with combo meat was extremely sweet--so sweet it was impossible to eat--and the meat was dry and unpleasant. The curry was also loaded with sugar. No one asked what spice level we wanted, so we expected a traditional spicy curry, but it was just sweet. Food arrived in the paper plates and bowls, plastic "silverware "... Service is not traditional table service--you order at the cashier when you walk in, then find a seat, and they bring the food to your table. The place is quite small, with only about six tables. Tab $57 for one appetizer and two entrees ( lunch)

    We stopped in for lunch one weekday because we were craving Thai food and decided to give this…read moreplace a try. The food tasted good, but the overall experience and price didn't match up. We had to order using a QR code on our phones. That was kind of convenient, but it made it hard to ask questions. None of the dishes came with a protein, so we had to pay extra to add one, which seemed odd. We also had to pay extra for sauces and condiments. That's not a big deal, but it felt a little like they were trying to charge for everything. In the end, we spent just under $50 for two people. The food was served in to-go containers with plastic utensils, which wasn't what we expected for a $50 Thai restaurant. The food was good, but I wouldn't call it very authentic. It felt more like fast casual Chinese food. The restaurant itself was clean, warm, but felt cold... if that makes any sense. Overall, I wasn't very impressed. I would recommend they adjusting prices to include a base protein and include condiments and sauces.
