Customer Reviews

Found this spot after my usual Thai place was closed -- great reviews, so I pulled up even though they were closing in an hour (probably shouldn't have done that ) Small, cozy restaurant with around 10 tables but still feels spacious. Staff were super nice and friendly. The food comes in to-go boxes, which I honestly don't mind. The papaya salad with dried shrimp (medium spice) was fire -- fresh, crunchy, and perfectly spicy (Thai spicy lol). Shrimp fried rice was seasoned just right, not soggy, and the shrimp were fresh. Pad Thai with chicken was a bit sweet for me, but the lime balanced it out -- chicken was super tender. Thai tea was good, a little bitter, but I wish it was creamier. Big portions, great price -- $50 for two with leftovers! Definitely coming back. Hidden gem for sure.

This fried rice combo was straight fire Everything was cooked perfect -- the rice was flavorful, not dry, not greasy, just seasoned right. You can taste that wok flavor in every bite. The meat was tender and juicy, and the portions were solid. They didn't skimp at all. What I really liked was how balanced it was. Nothing overpowering, just everything working together. Fresh veggies, good texture, and that little crisp on the rice that makes it hit different. Definitely one of those meals that has you saying "yeah, I'm coming back here again." 10/10 would order again.

I been going Bobby Thai since the new owner took over months ago. I love the green curry, crab fried rice, boat noddle soup (my favorite), Tom Yum soup, pad Thai, and mango with sticky rice for dessert. Honestly this place never disappointed me so far. Restaurant is clean and services are great too. Reasonable prices for decent Thai food. Will definitely be going back soon.

Got the spicy coconut shrimp soup and shrimp pad see ew. The soup was perfectly creamy, citrusy, and spicy. The pad see ew was savory and slightly sweet with the shrimp cooked perfectly. It was only my mom and I and we finished the entire, and they are quite large portions, so that says a lot the customer service is also great, our server was so attentive and kind. We are coming back for sure, especially with the prices being so fair ! Thank you !!

Went for the first time, and they were very welcoming. The food was amazing! This spot is very cozy and warm. The person who took our order was kind and even asked for feedback on what we thought about the food. I tried the chicken teriyaki, pad see ew with a side of macaroni salad, and a thai tea with boba. Chicken teriyaki was a little dry, but other than that, it was amazing. The pad see ew was godly, I will be coming back for more. 10/10 I highly recommend this place if you crave good quality Thai food.
