Excellent food and service. This restaurant is so good that every other restaurant pales in comparison. Presentation was beautiful (order the coconut soup and you'll see) and portions were generous. Good options for both vegetarians and carnivores The dishes were aromatic and the flavors were complex. Really nice surprise right on Park Street. We'll definitely be back!
Great Thai food. You cannot miss on the menu as the crab fried rice, won tons, and pad Thai were amazing. I love spicy food and they gave me the Thai hot spice level. Their wings were so delicious. This is an Alameda must!
We love the food here! I love the curry and the whole fried fish it's so yummy! The ambiance here is also really nice. The workers are also really nice. We always enjoy dining here!
The lemongrass chicken soup was incredible, I will definitely be returning for that. Bursting with flavor. Also some of the the best Chicken Satay I've ever had, with thick, juicy chicken and delicious peanut sauce. I've also tried the Panang Seafood dish, which was decent. Haven't given the noodles a fair shot yet. Good water.
We got papaya salad, eggplant with tofu, coconut lemongrass soup, and the fried fish. The fried fish was an big fish that's enough for two people. The papaya salad is your standard papaya salad. The soup was good too. We got the curry too and my mom liked it. The favorite of the night was the eggplant with tofu! Absolutely delicious and the flavor was great! The thai tea is good but a small size. Staff is nice. I'd come again to try other items on their menu!
Absolutely delicious food and great service! The restaurant is clean and taken well care of as well. My coworker and I came for a late lunch, and we were greeted very pleasantly upon arrival. We got pad see ew and the crab fried rice. Both dishes were so packed with flavor! The crab fried rice comes with fish sauce, and it is *chef's kiss*. I loved he portion sizes, as we ended up having left overs after for a snack. Service is amazing. Everyone is incredibly kind and attentive! I've been back again and still love it to much! May Thai is delicious.
Found this place randomly on one of the delivery apps and I'm so glad I did!! I've passed this restaurant so many times and didn't know it. I ordered the Pad Thai with chicken for my mother and the Phad Krapow with minced chicken and a fried egg on top for myself and we shared an order of shrimp rolls. EVERYTHING was amazing! So amazing that we had it delivered TWICE in one week!! Great portion sizes. We both got 2-3 meals out of our dishes. We will definitely be ordering again but getting our own separate orders if the shrimp rolls because those are too good to share!! Highly recommend all 3 items!
Pad see ew (extra brown) is my favorite. It "hits the spot" every time. I'll dine solo or with friends and family, that's how good it is. The service has improved from the past. Hope and Jimmy are really sweet and attentive. I love how clean and tidy the restaurant is. Always has clean floors, tables, and bathrooms. All the ingredients are super fresh and the highest grade meats I've ever had at a Thai restaurant. My top 3 picks outside of the pad see ew are: TARO PUFFS, COCONUT LEMONGRASS SOUP, and KHAO SOI CURRY NOODLE. Other spotlights include: the classic pad Thai, chicken satay, yellow curry, Tom yum soup, and for dessert: mango sticky rice. Thank you May, PP, and Team for your dedication to creating the best Thai eatery experience. I taste the love you put in your food with every bite.
Delicious Thai food! Came here with my two best friends and we had a delicious dinner, shared everything family style. Friendly service and food came out fast. Favorite items were the pumpkin curry and pad see ew noodles. There's a very nice relaxing ambience to the place and we were able to take a long time talking and catching up without feeling rushed. Will definitely come back again!
Just amazing experience here. Arrived on a Sunday at 7-8 pm. We were seated immediately and water was served. Our servers were super nice and attentive . Service was 10/10. The food was 100/10! May Thai has become my favorite Thai restaurant in the Bay Area! Ordered Pad Kee Mao with Pork. I could not stop saying how delicious it was. Flavor exploded in my mouth continuously . Green Curry with rice. At first I thought the curry was a bit thin but the flavor was just mind blowing . Pineapple fried rice was legit. Flavorful. I love strong flavors and this place does it right ! Must try this place for authentic Thai food!
