The yellow curry with vegetables is my go to when I'm having a curry craving. I love the flavoring they have. The service is always with a smile and is a small family business. The ambiance is fun with great decorations and lively colors. read more

I used to have linch here quite a lot but had not been in for about a year. Came for dinner and I have never had such tasteless thai food. The green curry was like light green and watery and did not taste like coconut or curry flavor. Like they watered it down and had no creamy consistency and no seasoning. I told the waiter I have never seen a curry look that way or lack taste and he said, "no that is how we serve it."The stir fried garlic green beans had come from a frozen packet of green beans and also were flavorless. No spice. no seasoning. The worst thai food I have ever had anywhere. read more

We were in the area visiting friends and ended up at " Your Place Thai Restaurant ". The décoré and ambiance was beautiful with many cues to Thailand and the Thai culture. Still the star of this restaurant is the food...as good as any Thai food I've ever had. Also, the service was fast...the only comment I have about that is everything including our appetizers came at nearly the same time...in short order our table was filled with food! Just something to be aware of if you're accustomed to having appetizers and then waiting a few mins for the entrees...like me. I've visited "Your Place..." but that was many many years ago. I'm glad to learn that they are still here and that the food is reliably good! read more

Decent food. We got their 1. Egg roll - not great. The dip they provided with it was too sweet. 2. Golden fried tofu - the tofu itself was alright but it came with a peanut dip which wasn't great 3. Spicy drunken noodles - good flavors. We asked for it to be spicy though, which it wasn't. 4. Panang curry - probably the best of the lot. Again, not spicy but very flavorful. 5. Their Iced Coffee is a must try!! All dishes are a la carte and don't come with rice. Quick service and friendly staff. Pleasant ambience. Parking in lot outside + 90 min street parking. read more

Used to enjoy the food here but tonight's order was quite disappointing. We ordered takeout- papaya salad, chicken satay, drunken noodles and pineapple curry with shrimp. The satay was good, papaya salad was bland and the drunken noodles lacked any depth of flavor. The shrimp in the pineapple curry just didn't taste right, like they were a little past their freshness date and had a very spongy consistency. Overall it was a very blah meal and I will have to find a new Thai go to. It was very easy to place our order over the phone and the food was ready when they said it would be. read more

The pineapple fried rice was delicious! I liked that I could taste the pineapple flavor in every bite. My friend ordered the pad Thai and it was great. read more

We ordered the drunken noodles with chicken and spicy eggplant with tofu. First thing is the interior of the restaurant is not nice looking and a bit out dated. The drunken noodles for ~$20 was just a pile of noodles with barely any chicken and no veggies. They must make a great profit serving plain/bland rice noodles with almost no protein. The eggplant tofu dish was drenched in grease in a pool of oil. This is an expensive place that serves bunch of carbs and oily stuff while skimping on the protein. read more

We here for dinner on a weekday , close to closing timing. And they seated us right away. As vegetarians we tried the following : Drunken Noodles : 4/5. This had some good flavor. Vegetarian fried rice : 4/5. This was tasty as well. Garlic tofu with broccoli : 5/5. This is the best tofu I have had in a while. Tofu had some really good seasoning. read more

Got takeaway. Very lovely. They do take Apple Pay. I did order Pad Thai with Tofu and the lovely lady asked if egg was ok. Sure was. Love that the inside is very authentic. Lovely staff. Only gripe is I hate bell pepper and my pad Thai had a BP aftertaste. Could be me. Overall highly recommended. Great for family and takeaway! read more

I love this place! I lived a few blocks down from this quaint little Thai restaurant and it was such a privilege. Ambiance - Seating arrangement is cool. They have these nice booth seats that create a cozy feeling. Dimmer lighting for sure but I don't mind it. Feels like those restaurants you see in movies where it doesn't look like a Michelin star restaurant but has the coziest feel and you meet up with your friends there to just chat. I like the vibes here. Service - Fast. Efficient. Friendly. I love the employees here. They never let my cup get empty and it's so awesome they are also quick bringing food out and taking your order! Not kiss ass at all which I appreciate heavily :p Food - lived in SB for 5 years and in my opinion, this is the best Thai restaurant Santa Barbara has price point is reasonable and flavors are TO DIE FOR. The curry, the fried fish, the noodles. I've ordered a decent amount of items off their menu and I have never been let down although I do heavily recommend any of the curries and any of the thicker noodles! Just went here with my friends for grad dinner szn and it was perfect read more

Really solid Thai food, I appreciate the flexibility for vegan options! Everyone in my family loves this spot and I'd definitely recommend trying it out if you're in the area! read more

Still giving 5 stars... BUT the recipes aren't the same as they used to be begging you to please go back to the original recipes. I've been coming here for years and now the curries are so watery -- curry should be thick and creamy. The service is wonderful, so please fix the curries to the old thicker style you used to do. I hope to still support this place, but really miss how the food was 2+ years ago. Did the chef or ownership change? read more

Food was amazing!!!! We loved everything and the service was impeccable. Check this place out for sure!

Unfortunately this place the last few times has gone downhill. The service is a little rude. Food quality is not what it used to be. Seems like they don't care as much. Sad to say but probably won't be coming back here read more

Starving for a quick dinner, this brisk and bustling Thai place hit the spot. Beer and wine license only, so neither of us ordered a beverage besides water. I think we got the last table available at 7 on a Sunday! It seemed there were a lot of locals, some groups of guys even, sharing big pots of soup. Staff is not friendly but they are efficient, and understand minor special orders like hold the zucchini. I ended up ordering the Thai Basil eggplant with chicken. Even though my husband would not eat any eggplant, there were a few small peppers and onions to go with it so he tasted the dish and ate some chicken. I was completely thrilled with the small eggplants (only quartered) and cooked until tender but mostly not mushy! There were so many, and they were still great leftover. The chicken was plentiful, tender and there was enough sauce (important for consumption of jasmine rice). I particularly liked their sauce as it was not too sweet, and this is a dish I order frequently home in Phx. I asked them to prepare this dish as a mild to medium, or mild plus and they got it just right! I thought the white rice was a little wet, but ok. we got the brown rice as well, it was nice alone but I prefer Jasmine rice in this cuisine, the brown somehow overshadowed the curry. We also ordered a pad see ew, a pan fried broccoli dish of rice noodle with beef. Strong competitor in the noodle department, flat noodles not broken up and tender beef strips. A few carrots and onions. Mild, no sauce really, so not soggy. Great leftover, too. I am sorry we got away without taking any pictures of these dishes, we must have been starving. They were standard presentations with no garnish. Rice served in miserly small bowls for $2 each. All in $42 before tip for two entrees and two sides of rice. Brusque but speedy staff brought the bill and handled the transaction quickly and off we went with our sturdy traditional white folded cardboard containers. I bet the table was cleared and seated before we started the car. They have quite a system. Love! read more

Valentine's Day was packed, but this place aced it. Without a reservation and fast friendly service for two of us. The food choices were wonderful since we like vegetables. The portions were generous and we left full with left overs. The seating was comfortable well designed for maximum seating during busy times. We will be back! read more

The food here was excellent. The flavors were all complex and deep and it wasn't your typical Thai restaurant. I would say that we asked for food spicy and it didn't really come spicy enough, but that comes with knowing the restaurant we got a Thai tea, which was also delicious we love the noodles and the pineapple of fried rice was Really good and a little different than what we normally get perhaps not as sweet but great seasoning. we got our food to go so I can't speak to the ambience, but it was ready very quickly on New Year's Eve, which was surprising and great. read more

Our go-to restaurant when we stop by the Santa Barbara area. No wait when we came noon on Sunday. Staff here are friendly and patient. They are understanding of dietary restrictions. Food came really quick within 5-10 minutes. Every dish is packed with flavor. One of my favorite dishes has to be the garlic fish which has a lot of fried garlic on top of crispy battered fish fillet. Eating it with the lettuce leaves makes it some healthy, I say to myself. Would definitely recommend to friends and families who are visiting the SB area! read more

I like Your Place. Thai dishes cooked in a traditional/standard way...big portion sizes...heavy handed with sauces, packing lots of flavor. WIN. What you order is what you can expect. The only thing that confused me? When I came by myself and ordered tea, they charged me once for a whole small pot of tea by myself. Good, right? But when I came with friends, they charged us all ***separately*** for sharing that SAME one single pot of tea. Shouldn't we all have our own separate pots instead of charging us 3 times for a single pot? Next time I'll gently talk it over with the manager. I'll continue to support but you must make it make sense. Great sautéed eggplant, btw. read more

Food here is super EXPENSIVE and TINY PORTIONS! Definitely not worth it. Won't be coming back here. $20 for 12 ounces of curry?! It was 12 ounces not 16 ounces, we measured it when we got home because we were completely shocked how tiny the container was and it was only 2/3 full! Every other Thai Restruant we've been to in Santa Barbara serves you 28-30 ounces. We were charged $20 not $18. This place is a TOTAL RIP OFF! read more

I think the service here is really good and the staff are so kind and attentive. That really made the experience great for me! I came here with my family and they were patient with all our orders and requests. I think the portions are pretty big like other Thai restaurants. The inside seems quaint and casual read more

Thai food is my favorite. It's just got such a wide variety of dishes and each one brings its own exciting palette of flavors. We started off with the chicken satay, deliciously grilled skewers of chicken with a peanut butter dip and pickled cucumber as an accompany. Absolutely delicious. The chicken was tender and not dry at all, and just so good. For the main meal, we split the pad see ew (a classic, tasty), some veggies (decent, although I wish they were cooked a bit longer), and yellow chicken curry, spooned over some white rice. The yellow chicken curry was spicier than I expected (we asked for it mild), but packed with flavor and just as homey and comforting as any yellow chicken curry I've ever had. I'll be back! read more

We ordered the pad sew yew noodles with shrimp, fried chicken and chicken satay to go. The shrimp didn't appear fresh and it was dry. Also, the fried chicken was dry too. Both items were most likely cooked previously and then reheated! However, the noodles were fresh and had lots of flavor, as well as the satay. Unfortunately, we're just passing through so we're not able to give this restaurant another try. read more

The food and service was super quick! We even had a neighboring lady on her way to SF who took the longer route just to stop at this place. When I tell you, the food is worth the hype---- I mean it's worth the hype. The interior was very traditional and felt like a cute whole in the wall in Santa Barbara read more

YUMMY! They had great service and all the food was delish. I especially liked the pork dumplings! Definitely need to try.

The curry is too sweet and we call a crap fried rice but we don't see any crap inside of the rice. The service was ok, but we call a red curry, they bring us yellow curry. I like the rice with mango. read more

I asked for a pad see yew with shrimp and chicken and they gave me the plate at first and I couldn't find any shrimp. They took the plate away and then came back stirring it up to show me the two pieces. I also had ordered for the dish extra spicy but it came with no flavor or spice- was super bland, and I asked for spice on the side to add which is pictured here. Pretty disappointed as I heard good things about the place but do not think it's worth the $20 read more

Amazing mom-and-pop Thai restaurant with great service. The first thing I noticed walking in is the flyers from a local newspaper naming this the Best Thai Restaurant in Santa Barbara for many (many!) years. The earliest one I saw was for 1985! We were quickly seated for a late lunch by our friendly host. There were three of us and we ordered two soups and two dishes to share between us. Everything was incredible, and I mean everything. My husband is a real Kang Panang lover, which means we order it everywhere we go. I don't know what it was about the panang here, but it had a special yum I was that really set it apart from others I've had. Great portions of delicious Thai food with good service. 10/10 would recommend! read more

I ate here last week when I was driving back from LA to SF. In fact, I specifically drove up PCH to the 101 (instead of the I-5) just so I could stop in for dinner at Your Place Thai. I eat here every time I visit Santa Barbara, and I do actually mean every time I have been to Santa Barbara, or driven through Santa Barbara. I stopped in just after 5 PM, wasn't even hungry, but ordered a full meal and a Thai iced tea. I ate the Tom Kai soup with chicken, and asked for to-go boxes for the rice and yellow curry. I was so happy to be able to eat that curry for lunch the next day. My first visit to Your Place Thai was back in November of 1997 (I lived down in LA), and my boyfriend at the time had relocated to SB for 6 months. We ate here often. Over these last 25 years, I've had most of the curries, many of their seafood dishes, most of their House Specials, and all were *consistently* delicious. I've never had any of their tofu or duck dishes, mostly because I stay away from soy and had ducks as pets as a child and I cannot eat any animal I would have as a pet (duck, rabbit, dog, cat, horse). Off-topic, once I had a hunter prepare some delicious venison enchiladas for my family. They were delicious, and I ate every bite. After dinner, when I looked up what "venison" was, I ran to the bathroom vomiting up those "delicious" enchiladas. I've never had a deer as a pet, but I would never kill or eat such a delicate, gentle, beautiful animal. I digress... Your Place Thai really is a "something for everyone" restaurant, where you could entertain a large group of people for dinner, order food to go for the entire office, or dine in for an intimate, delicious dinner for two. They've had many vegetarian options, too, and decades before it became "fashionable" amongst hipsters to "go vegan". The reason restaurants survive for DECADES is that they serve consistently good food that their regulars KNOW they can count on. This establishment has reduced its size, too, and the space next to them that was once part of the restaurant is now a donut shop. I hope this was enough of a help to them economically to keep their business profitable. I'm really glad Your Place Thai seems to have survived the pandemic, and I hope they can survive this inflationary period. From here forward, I will make certain that I reroute my driving between SF and LA to the 101 and PCH, so I can more frequently enjoy meals and take-away here. Since I live up in the SF Bay area now, I wasn't able to order take-out from here during the pandemic, but I will do everything I can now to make sure I do my part to help them stay open for as long as they are willing to run their business. Thank you to all the current and former employees of Your Place Thai! So many of us appreciate your service, hard work, and dedication over the years, and we rarely have the opportunity to tell you. read more

My wife and I placed a takeout order the other day for - a chicken red curry and a chicken Pad Thai. We picked up the order, which only took about 15 minutes, and took it home. The dining room looked fun and the staff was friendly. My wife liked her red curry, but my Pad Thai was served with tofu instead of chicken, and the Pad Thai itself wasn't very good. The bag was tied so tight, I couldn't have opened it to check the order if I tried. Willing to try it again, but it was a swing and a miss this time. read more
