Thai Grata - San Jose

Authentic, flavorful Thai food. Love the papaya salad, spicy basil fried rice, green curry and pad kee maw. Most servers are good, but some of them are not. They keep running out of cabbage, but glad that they had the tender coconut today. One of our favorite Thai places in the Bay Area for sure! When they say Thai spicy, they mean it.

Decent Thai food, typical menu options, and good service. Prices are a bit high and portions vary depending on the dish. This wouldn't be my first choice but if I'm in the area and am craving Thai food, it's not a bad option. Roti: Yum! Buuut the curry came out warm and the fried roti was already a bit cold and not as crispy. It was also too oily. Overall, still tasty. Papaya Salad: I got the Lao version and when that's available as an option, I know it's already off to a good start. The salad was tasty but the portion was pretty small. It only looked like a fair amount because it was on a pile of lettuce. Pad Thai: Not bad at all! I got pork and they used a super lean cut which was a bit dry. Tastes best with dried chili flakes cause spice is always nice! I would order this again.

Great place for lunch. First time trying out this Thai restaurant. Now it is open for public, staffs are friendly, ordered basil chicken and it comes with good portion of food. Recommend this place and will visit again.

Positive: The restaurant is larger than one would expect from the outside. The food seems to be authentic and I find it very tasteful. My waiter was friendly and efficient. Negative: Overall I find it too expensive. It seems like a system of small 'tricks ' to make it look cheap on the menu but it adds up by surprise. The soda was in a can so no refill. The rice is NOT included in a curry $15 $3 for the rice). I asked for a more rice and was charged another $3. I am used to restaurants where rice is included in the main dish and more rice is not charged extra. In addition, there is a weird 18 service charge for groups of people of five or more.

My dining experience at this restaurant was just okay. We ordered a curry and a sautéed dish, but neither came with rice so we had to order it separately. The portions were on the small side, especially the sautéed dish, and the prices were a bit high. However, the flavors of the dishes were decent.
