Great Thai food. You won't be disappointed. And the art work on the walls is all for sale. Very nicely decorated.

As a longtime loyal customer of many years this is a hard review to write. After ordering takeout, was given 20 min time. Walked in at 30 min to be told it would be a few more mins. After waiting for about 45 min, seeing takeout orders placed after mine getting picked up, I was upset but still patient. Finally, I asked for a refund because I'd never been treated like that. It was busy but being direct with customers is better business than having a person wait for nearly an hour to walk out without food. The food and service has gone downhill and this was always my go-to Thai place. A place I frequently went with friends & family. I'm sad to say but after that experience it would be hard to go back :( read more

So me and the boyfriend came back to this place after the owner Greg responded to our review and offered us a meal on him for our experience and this time, I have to say everything was great! We were promptly greeted and led to a vacant table. We ordered angel wings, (a favorite), with Garlic Lemon Sea Bass for me and BBQ Beef for the bf and would have to say everything was great. The sea bass portion was huge and great for the price! I will definitely be back! Thanks Greg for the reputable customer service.. We will definitely be back read more

Honestly my favorite restaurant in the bay area. The Pad see ew and claypot chicken are both the best... I say that because ive had the same thing from a bunch of other thai spots around and none of them have as good or as much flavor as top thai's does.The people are always super nice and make suggestions on whats good. Its priced very reasonably as well. I cant say enough about it, just try it, i promise its legit. read more

It's okay I guess, though there are better options for Thai even in a small city like CV. We ordered on the phone, and it took a while to get someone to pick up, and even then, the tone was a little rude. The food itself was okay. We got pad thai and tom yum soup. The pad thai was decent, but the soup was a bit lacking considering how much it was. Not many ingredients, lots of broth. Not sure if I'll be coming here again. read more

Yummy! All six of us liked the food - even the two toddlers. The green curry rice was on the specials menu but was really good. BBQ Chicken also very tasty, especially with the special sauce. Have gone back 3 more times and not disappointed. read more

Great food, service has room for improvement, an overall ok experience. I will recomend it to go, I heard they deliver too. Thanks read more

Still the best Thai food in cv. I only come here . Food is fabulous, the staff is awesome.

Bomb! Not appealing from the outside but when you come in it's super clean and cute. Now the food... Ridiculous! I mean authentic Thai. I asked for extra spicy and they hooked it up! Everything was super flavorful and everything came out quick. Screw those fancy shmancy big "Thai chain restaurants" and come support your local hole in the wall. You won't be disappointed. read more

Worst customer service ever! Waited 15 min at the door and was never greeted ! I finally walked up to a waitress and she looked at me and looked down to ignore me and there were so many tables open so I left. I'm don't know what their problem is but I am never coming back here. read more

Delicious. I'm originally from San Francisco and we have a ton of really good Thai restaurants. So when I moved to CV didn't think I'd find good Thai. I tried a few Thai places in CV and they were ok but this place was delicious. I would totally eat here again. The spicy basil rice OMG delicious. So was the egg plant and chicken curry. A must try if you like Thai food. read more

with the lunch special, you can pick anything on the lunch menu, which comes with house salad (some items also come with rice), plus a drink of your choice (most ppl pick thai ice tea at first, u will think it's great value, until things arrived at table.....portion is small n quality is poor! read more

Top Thai is awesome for lunch. You can't beat their prices anywhere and the food is so good. This is definitely some of the best Thai food in the area. read more

Thank God for delivery! We just had no energy and it was too cold to go out, so we placed our orders, dinner special for me (bbq chicken and green papaya salad), and my boyfriend had pineapple fried rice (shrimp only) and pad thai. We also got the Mun Tod for an appetizer....OMGSH soooooo good! The salad was so good, and the pineapple fried rice was perfect! Oh and did I mention that they DELIVER?! read more

Great lunch specials! I love the Pad Se Ew, Pad Thai, Pumpkin curry, Red curry, Pineapple fried rice & Thai iced tea! =) mmmm!

Awesome food. This is a great place to get my kids introduced to new food that they actually ate. Super fast delivery too, even though we live only a couple miles away, I was surprised at how fast the food came. Great for take out too. read more

Came by here to visit with a customer and had the Basil Chicken and Thai Tea.....Food was good and priced just right!

I can honestly say, this place was the best Thai food experience i've had ever!!!! You would not think that from outside because the place looks small and not so cute, but one you walk in, you get that Thai/Asian feeling. They have decorations all over the place, even the bathroom, the place is quiet cute! Now, to their food, O.M.G.! My friend and I shared the chicken pad thai, sauteed chicken with eggplant and yellow chicken curry......The food has SO MUCH flavor! I mean, it was just amazing tastey food! Good fresh quality, that I LOVE! Their service was also very friendly, the waitresses greet you right away as soon as you walk in and they are quick! I LOVE QUICK WAITRESSES/WAITERS. PLEASE check this place out and tell me what you think! I am sure you will agree with me! Best Thai food in Castro Valley and East Bay PERIOD! read more

GREAT FOOD! and great service as well, i think the waitress and a man im assuming was the manage checked on us many times during our meal. The chicken skewers were delicious! I personally ordered the Pad Se Eww (spelling?) which is my favorite Thai dish, but I always order the wrong things at other places. Top Thai has a good description of the dish which is helpful for those of us who are still learning what to order. My mom ordered the Pad Thai with shrimp, and our aunt ordered a cup of soup with coconut milk. The size for the cup was much bigger than most places would serve and I noticed that the rice servings were quite heaping! our dishes were big too, PLENTY of food to drool over! I also noticed how another waitress was happy to accomodate a little boy who couldn't eat peanuts at another table. very good service right there! The decor is bright and colorful and they seem to get pretty busy. the waitresses were cheery and prompt and, as mentioned earlier, the menu was easy to navigate. The table next to us ordered some yummy looking ice cream dish which, like everything else, looked like a nice big size. and they finished it all so it must have been delicious! Under $35 for 2 plates of the chicken skewers, cup of soup, pad se eww, pad thai, and a soda. not bad! and the tip was well deserved. oh, and the pretty way they cut carrots into flowers was pretty cool too. read more

Been here once for the Top Thai Fried Rice. Surprisingly yum! The mint seemed just right for a hot lunch day. The chicken was just a tad dry and the rice was a bit greasy. Overall the dish was very tasty. As a takeout order, it took 15 minutes, no problem there :) I wasn't expecting much from Castro Valley so was pleasantly surprised. Will be back again. read more

If I could rate 0, I would! I came in with my ole lady and we sat down at the bench waiting for over 8 minutes and 32 seconds and no one came to seat us. The waiter also saw us come in and sit down but continued to take multiple orders and still nothing to do with us. It was far from being close to busy. There was an open table in the first room, and the next room was 1 table from empty. We just got up and left. read more

First time eating here for lunch on a Saturday. The Pat Thai, chicken dry, over cooked. They used steam pre cooked chicken. Noodles under cooked, very chewy to eat. Eggplant chicken same thing, over cooked, dry. White rice under cooked. All the dishes served with cheap plastic plates and cups. Probably won't try this again. read more

Went here for lunch today and liked the decor and music, food was tasty (had the green curry chicken and brown rice), but the server didn't smile or give us any welcome or any friendly chatter ... kind of weird. Then when my friend asked to hold the onions and peppers from her yellow curry dish, I asked if she could have a diff vegetable as a substitute, the server said no. My friend asked for shrimp instead of other choices for the curry meat and server said, that will be $1 extra. We both asked for the brown rice and she said, that will be $1 extra. There was another thing my friend asked for, and guess what server said ...!!! All that without a smile. On the positive side, if you want refills for your thai iced tea the cost is reduced!! not sure about going back, really... I expect better for service. read more

just moved to castro valley from fremont and tried this thai place around the corner. All I can say is that the food is incredible!!! I was use to going to sala thai in fremont but I gotta admit top thai has much more flavor and better portions to their food. I'm here atleast once a week!! :) read more

Top Thai is the best Thai food in Castro Valley. Their food is always consistent and the service is fast and courteous. Pricing is agreeable and they deliver if you are in the area. Wether your in the mood for apps, soup, or an entree, everything is very tasty and fresh. Desserts are good too but are limited, we usually get too full for them anyway. Booths and tables are comfortable and the ambiance is put together well. You will not be disappointed. read more

June 2010, Sunday late lunch (3 pm) First of all, just glad that this place is open at 3 pm on Sunday. First time eating in Castro Valley, picked this place (based on other reviews). Parking is a bit small. Restaurant is big (took up 2 units in that complex). Decors are nice, and maybe on the high end side and atmosphere is right. Had a veggy Pad Thai, it was pretty good and authentic. Since that is the only thing I had, I am kind of reserved and gave it a 3 star, until I have chance to try more of their dishes. read more

OMG, my first time here and I love the food. Service can be a little friendlier, but thank goodness the food is delicious.

We love top Thai. We usually get take out, but it's nice to eat in also. Good prices, fast and friendly service, easy to get to, and the food is spot on. Love the green curry and the pad Thai; better here than most places. read more

Being a business owner, I don't write a review until I'm sure that I'm giving a fair and honest opinion. Why? Because I know that a bad review can have a real financial effect on a business and during these tough times I don't want to do that to anyone if I can help it. I've lost track of how many times I've been to Top Thai. I keep going back, so that must say something. I get really mad when the food sucks. You know what I mean, I work hard for my money and wasting it on lousy food just irks me. Here we go..... If I'm going to have soup, which I'm not, I'll have their Tom Kha Vegitarian, (that one rules, the chicken does not.) My girlfriend, Susan, (whom I adore), has the vegitarian and every now and then I'll steal a spoonful and wonder why I didn't order it. Well, the reason I don't order the soup is because of the Pla Goong, shrimp seasoned with fresh mint leaves, lemon grass and thai lime vinaigrette. Sure it may be considered pedestrian, but the taste and presentation make me a happy camper with each fork full. (Fill out the deposit slip and take this one to the bank.) Let's get one thing straight, Castro Valley is not he mecca of thai food. Think: Saving on gas and eating local. Order the Pineapple Fried Rice, good with everything. Penang chicken, yes you can say Penang Chicken Curry, but that makes you sound like you don't get out much. Penang is curry. Traditionally includes dried chili peppers, galangal, lemongrass, coriander root, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, garlic, and salt, and sometimes also shallots, peanuts, and shrimp paste. Top Thai Penang is tasty and satisfying. My friend Sarak is thai and he loves this stuff, and he also seldom pays, go figure. Camille, will have the pumpkin curry and she says that's pretty good too. While Susan will often have the shrimp pad tai. Final, parting shot, the waitress Linda is the best. She's thai and nice, excellent service. read more

Nothing excite. Just average Thai food at best. Would be one star but since it is a decent Thai restaurant in CV. Hate that they use dry chicken breast in most of dishes. Did order a curry dish with pork but couldn't tell between it and the chicken. Best thing going was pineapple fried rice. Small portions too. read more

Definitely love the red curry here. I've come here several times in the past 7 yrs, and the food never disappoints. The service and pricing on the other hand tends to change quite frequently. Sometimes we'll get the nice lady with short hair and she'd give us candy when we pay, other times(like today) we get the other waiters that never smile and don't even look up when you speak to them. read more

My boyfriend and I just moved to the area and this is our new thai food spot. The staff is very friendly and the food great. Our favorites are the Pad Thai, Green Curry (with beef), and Matt loves the Satay. read more

Top Thai, take out and delivery, was written on the top of the menu my coworker handed me. So I dropped in, got my yellow curry and Mon Tod, and back to work. The food I ordered was good, the prices...a little high, $7 for the curry and $6.25 for the Mon Tod. And a slight bummer for being take out/delivery only. Overall, a good place in a starving town. read more

Oh Top Thai I wanted to like you and you were close to being good. We decided to try this place on a whim and figured with all the good reviews it would be decent to good. Unfortunately we were disappointed. We ordered 3 dishes: Panang Curry with beef, Thai basil chicken and pad see ew. Well the panang Curry was the worst dish of them all, apparently they just waived the panang curry paste near the dish as it was really really watered down barely any flavor and the beef was really tough. The thai basil chicken was decent, still lacked in flavor but way better than the curry. Surprisingly the Pad see ew saved the night, this dish was actually pretty good and would have giving this place a 3-3.5 star status if it were not for the horrible Panang Curry. I guess they cook to the local tastes but I am willing to try it again (mainly due to the Pad see ew) and maybe revise my review later after tasting a few other dishes. Edit: Mr. Greg (owner), no flame war nothing personal against you or your nice little restaurant. I'm sorry I didn't like your food, plenty of people here on the board do tho. Revel in the fact there is more positive here for you than my negativity. Sorry I won't be taking any more personal messages from you. read more

Top Thai is the best. Three words: Chicken Pumpkin Curry. OMG.

sorry, tro vall, this is not what i expect from a four star thai joint. our meal of pad see ew, silver noodle soup, and yellow curry was well... not amazing. the meat was dry. the veggies were few, and either overcooked or undercooked. the flavors were mediocre. i think the only nice thing i can say is that the broth in the silver noodle soup was good. alas, still on the search for deliciousness near the tro vall/san lorenzo/hey word-up border. greg: we took it to-go. and this ain't "scathing." i was trying to be nice. but i can really cut loose, so yes, i will try your food again. read more

During my lunch today, I DUG a hair out of my red curry. I quietly called the server over and showed her. The first thing she said was "that's not ours, maybe it's yours." I didn't want to cause a scene even though there was only one other patron and it is the holidays, so I stupidly paid (even left a $2 tip) and left. It's true, one bad incident mars everything. That waitress's rudeness just cost them a regular customer. I'll never be back again. Shame cause it's one of the best Thai places around. read more

I love Thai food and I have been to this place a few times. It doesn't stand out among the rest and doesn't necessarily disappoint. It's A-OK.... I would meet at this place if people wanted to go but I wouldn't choose it on my own. read more

Change your hours. Yelp says open all day. But they're not.. Restaurant Is closed from 3-4. Inconvenient for customers.

My go to spot when we want to eat out. The staff is very friendly and the food is consistently delicious.
