    • Q:

      What are the vegan options available?

      A:

      There are quite a few, and you can always ask to hold the egg with many of the dishes. There is very little dairy used in traditional Thai cooking. Lots of tofu options too. We have no trouble with choosing plant-based options.

      I went here with a big group of friends and they were able to accommodate us. A huge plus for me.

      I usually get the pad thai with chicken and it was good. I also share a roti with my friends too. It was good.

      Tee Nee Thai might actually be the best Thai place in San Jose. Now I must say I'm only basing this off of 3 dishes and 4 different visits.

      The pad see ew (my go to) is on the sweeter side, which I love, they use this sweet bean sauce that really sets their pad see ew apart. Toss some peanut sauce in it to switch up the flavors.

      Moving on to the duck, crispy skin and sweet marinated meat, the duck absolutely delivers on flavor.

      Panang Curry also a very solid pick, but a much more unfamiliar flavor compared to the standard red, green, and yellow curries.

      Absolutely worth checking out, been here about 4 times now in different settings (alone, date, large 8 person group, and my birthday) and each time the vibe, service, and food was great.

      We were here for dinner on a Sunday evening. We got a table for two quickly. It's got a very cozy vibe. As vegetarians we tried the following dishes :
      Veg spring rolls - 5/5. This was good and crispy with a nice filling.
      Tom Yum Pak soup - 4/5. This was a clear soup with good selection of vegetables. It had a good lemon grass flavor.
      Panang Curry - 5/5. The curry had such a good flavor. Really enjoyed this one. Just wish it was slightly hotter.
      Will definitely be back here to try other things on the menu.

      Service was quick and friendly. The staff was tentative, checking in with us several times.
      The food was a good portion and came out fresh and hot. Everything tasted great. Ordered the Chicken Pad Thai (mild spice) and it had a ton of flavor! Will definitely be going back.

      A buddy of mine has been wanting to go to this place for a while and a group of 4 finally made it out. Parking is minimal, so your best bet is to park on a side street or directly across the street.

      Ordered 4 different dishes, pad see ew and panang curry are the 2 I remember, but everything was good. I'm a regular at Thai Spoons in Sunnyvale and it's hard to compare when a restaurant is your favorite spot, but this came pretty close to it.
      Only negative is this spot is really small, but it wasn't too busy.

      Their Spice levels were a little hitter than your average Thai spot, but it was a nice surprise.

      Owner gave us a free sticky rice dessert, which I've never had but it was yummy!

      Staff is really nice and will for sure be back

      I really enjoyed this Thai spot because they use the thick noodles for their Pad Se Ew which is my favorite. Noodles were a tad dry but was able to add soy sauce and a chili crunch oil i had. The noodles still had good flavor . I added tofu which soaked up a lot of the flavor as well. I would definitely go back and eat there again

      Wow! This place is delicious! We ordered takeout and our order of curry, steamed rice, noodles, and veggie dish only took about 20 minutes and everything was nice and hot as soon as we got there for pick up!

      The lady who took my order was very nice and I also got a Vietnamese iced coffee that I can enjoy for the next morning! She didn't include ice so I appreciated the king, thoughtful gesture.

      The curry was medium spicy and it was perfect. The eggplant veggie dish was also delicious and it made me feel better to have some vegetables (with tofu) with my order too. The steamed rice and sticky rice were nice compliments with my order, and I would say that I probably could have gotten away with just one dish in addition to the rice and the noodles - the portions were pretty spot on!

      The ambiance inside of the restaurant was really nice too so I will definitely try to eat at the restaurant next time I try out more of their dishes! I look forward to trying their crispy pad Thai next!

      Some Thai spice brought a little heat for this yellow curry. Flavorful chicken, great potatoes, and the rice was cooked to perfection. Had to add sone of my homemade chili oil mix to even it out.. no complaints and will be back again! 1000

      Walked in on a Sunday dinner for a party of five and were seated immediately.

      The service was nice and friendly, and all the food portions were large and delicious.

      We got the Fried Rice, Pineapple Fried Rice, Pad Thai, and the Pad See Ewe and they were all great!

      We were asked if we wanted outside or inside seating but in the end only outside was available. The bamboo barrier separating the patio area from the road was a nice touch although it clearly hasn't been dusted/maintained for a while (cobwebs).

      Keep in mind that rice isn't included with any of the entrees (unless specified on the menu, like for the lunch dishes) so you'll have to order it for $3-4 extra. I have never understood this because rice costs mere cents to make, but perhaps there are a lot of people who'll eat Thai curry or some other dish by itself and leave a default rice bowl untouched? We ordered one side of white rice and one side of sticky rice. They forgot the white rice but that was a quick fix.

      For entrees:
      1. Garlic pork - a lot of garlic (tasted great). It's fried pork but I think it may have been stir-fried with the other ingredients afterward because the exterior turned a little soggy (particularly near the bottom where water from vegetables or some sauce collects).

      2. Green curry with choice of beef - medium spicy was decently spicy. As with most if not all Thai curries, the coconut milk makes it, well, drinkable. The curry itself was fairly average - not bad but not remarkable.
