    Pad kee Mao with beef
    Zehra A.

    Very low quality food. I've been wanting to try this place for awhile and unfortunately I was very disappointed. The quality is very low grade and I didn't feel good while eating it or after. It's a small restaurant with few seats. More than enough parking for the size. I ordered mine to go. The service was bad. No smile, no warmth. Just a cold hard stare with no thank you or even a response to my thank you. Very odd. This place is a one and done. Definitely won't be returning.

    Big servings!! We should have just got one dish to share, but we got to enjoy leftovers. I preferred the pad see ew over the pad Thai but both dishes were good for our dinner. The one staff member we saw was very attentive and helpful. Good amount of seating and the restaurant is clean. I'm glad we stopped in while walking by

    52 - Pad See-Ew
    Ying Xin F.

    Southeast Asian comfort food. A casual local gem for generous portions and classic cozy flavors. We ordered the classics like pad Thai and pad see ew, with that perfect balance of sweet and savory. A rich green chicken curry so comforting. Every dish tasted homey and was made for sharing. This is the kind of spot you bring your family or meet friends when you just want good food without a wait and service was quick. If you love Thai and Cambodian cuisine, give Thaibodia a try.

    We highly recommend coming hungry and ordering for the table. The portions are huge and perfect for sharing. What we got: - Pad Thai - Pad See Ew - Tom Kha - Green Chicken Curry - Roti with house made curry - Mango Sticky rice

    Will not be returning to the Thaibodia San Jose location. My husband and I ordered takeout yesterday, and we both ended up with food poisoning and diarrhea that night and into today. We ordered the Yellow Curry with Sliced Chicken, Basil Fried Rice with Sliced Beef, and Ginger Sautéed with Sliced Pork -- all mild. The chicken tasted stale and had an unpleasantly mushy texture, like it had been sitting for far too long. The pork was even worse; I found a piece that appeared to be a lymph node, and it grossed me out. To top it off, the Basil Fried Rice had uncooked white rice throughout. We brought the food back and requested a refund. For context, I've been to the Thaibodia Milpitas location before and had a great experience -- delicious food and good value. Based on that, I expected the same quality here. Unfortunately, this was one of the worst Thai food experiences I've had in a long time.

    Visited for their limited dine-in promotion and had a great time! I've ordered take out from their Milpitas location multiple times but have never dined in. Their San Jose location is nicely decorated and the ordering process was quick and easy through the QR code. Service was friendly, quick, and courteous. The food portions are huge and came out piping hot. The favorite of the night was the fried cod. I'd consider revisiting in the future if I'm in the area. Their takeout combos are more appealing to me, but the dine-in experience was very pleasant.

    61 - Yellow Curry and 78 - Rama Thai made correctly with spinach
    Stacy C.

    I had dinner delivered from Thaibodia earlier this week and it was delicious. I had the Rama Thai and yellow curry chicken. The Rama Thai was perfect but the yellow curry was too spicy, even though I ordered it mild (this could be an issue specifically with me because I'm overly sensitive to spice). Not wanting to throw away $20 worth of food, I added coconut milk from my own kitchen to the yellow curry to cut the spice and it tasted wonderful. Tonight I decided to try Thaibodia again and ordered just the Rama Thai. The chicken is supposed to sit on a bed of raw spinach, but instead there were just some tiny pieces of spinach and cabbage. It really didn't taste good without the bed of spinach. Fortunately I got a partial refund from DoorDash.

    13 - CHIVE PUFF PARATHA**
    Sophia W.

    The space is gorgeous! Very open feel and clean. We got the chive puffs recommended by the server, chicken pineapple fried rice, green curry with shrimp and pad see ew with beef. I totally forgot to ask for everything to be spicy and she didn't ask spice level either... So remember to mention the SPICE LEVEL! It's not spicy at all otherwise but they had peppers on the side you could add with everything. Chive puffs was probably my favourite. Had a coconut sauce with it too. Chicken pineapple fried rice was pretty good. Chicken was dry, it was not on a pineapple! Jk. Still pretty good despite the chicken. Green curry was meh. Pad see ew with beef was really sweet. On day 2, doused them with my spicy chilli oil at home and finished it with no problem! Idk if it's a return.

    31 - TOM KHA SOUP
    Lydia C.

    We've been to another spot in Milpitas and we had a great experience so today we decided to visit somewhere nearer. Food: overall, they taste good but the Tom Kha soup is way too salty, and we have to add some water ourselves to get it balanced. The chicken in all dishes is well cooked; very tender. We ordered medium spicy for all of the food and it's just about the hotness we want. Service: When we entered the restaurant around 8 we were told that they are closing at 9 yet the business hour on Yelp and Map is 9:30 so we were a bit surprised as there were no notice on the door even if it's a day before the holiday. (The Google Map is showing 9pm though. Hope the business owner can make sure info are aligned and updated) Ambiance: clean and nice. Casual meal or family dinner is recommended.

    Pad thai with peanuts
    Wayne T.

    Stopped by for a late lunch. I had ordered the food online.it said it would be 15 minutes. I pulled up right in front. There's only street parking no lot. The place was completely empty,but than again it was 3pm. The guy behind the counter was friendly and asked if I was there to pick up a order. He came back with a very heavy and extremely hot package. I thought it was a bit expensive till I got home and saw how big the portion was. Easily enough for 2 to share. There was also plenty of shrimp. Not the normal 6 shrimps per serving like most places. The taste was good,but a little dry. I prefer my pad thai with a bit more sauce. But that's my personal opinion. Will definitely come back ,or I might try one of their other locations.

    - 61 - YELLOW CURRY with chicken, I couldn't eat it, was not good
    Melissa K.

    Ordered from here via their delivery option, was very disappointed.... Food- they asked spice preferences, and even though I selected mild/no spice, they put a ton (TON!) of jalapeños peppers in practically every dish! So much, that I couldn't really eat it. The yellow chicken curry was also weird. It was fried chicken placed in a yellow curry sauce. The breading was too thick, all I could taste was the flour. The potstickers were also in a sauce that made them soggy and overly sweet. I threw away what I didn't eat, which meant I threw away a lot of food. Perhaps dining in versus delivery would make a difference, but I was super bummed about this meal. Service- NA, didn't eat there, although I guess a 1 star for not reading and taking into consideration what I requested.

I have a pretty big appetite and thought 10 wings wouldn't be enough, but I only made it through 6 because they were so filling. The garlic fries were amazing too -- big portion and insanely good.

During our recent visit, we ordered the Crispy Chicken w/ Honey Butter, Honey Butter French Fries & Cheddar Fries to dine in and Crispy Chicken w/ Honey Butter & Crispy Fried Chicken to go. Hits: * Honey Butter & Cheddar Fries are good. The seasoning is placed on top of the fries but make sure you spread it thoroughly throughout all fries to ensure it's not too salty. * Honey Butter Crispy Chicken is delicious and perfectly fried. The seasoning powder isn't extremely salty and pairs well with the chicken. Average: * Regular Crispy Fried Chicken was decent. It's fried well and not over cooked but it's kind of bland. Final Verdict: Solid 4/5. The chicken here is good. It's always on point and fried perfectly. It's the right amount of crisp and with the seasoning it's a good mixture. The fries are good as well. The fries aren't too thin. They also offer a sort of vinegar radish on the side and it pairs so well with the chicken. If you are planning to dine in, there are plates, forks and spoons for utilize. The staff is nice and the store is also very clean. I do want to try other foods that the store offers besides chicken since those are the only items I've had so far from the menu.
