Chuan Chim Thai Cuisine

So incredibly delicious!! We ordered way too much food, but it was all so yummy. The pad Thai and the pad see you were so good, and the eggplant pork was amazing. The pumpkin red curry was to die for, and so was the fishcake, larb salad, and massaman beef curry. Plenty of seating inside and outside, cute interior and really kind employees! So hospitable and comfortable inside. Really short wait too, absolutely wonderful!

Chuan Chim is our go to spot for work lunch. We go so often, I wonder if the servers recognize us yet. We usually get the fresh spring rolls and fried tofu for appetizers (good for gluten-free). For entrees, the favorites are pad see yu with beef, pad thai, pineapple fried rice. My favorite is the fried chicken in the pineapple (see picture) with side of coconut rice. I've also had it with tofu instead. Presentation of the plates are instagram-worthy. Food always come out fast and hot. Service is friendly, depending on the server. Atmosphere is cozy and humming with people enjoying their food and conversation. During the sunny warm days, it's so much nicer eating outdoors. Note: if you're a party of 5+, a 20% gratuity is automatically added (not so cool). Otherwise, great place to eat in Foster City.

It was super busy but our food came out fast and service was great. Every dish has nice presentation Pad kee mow was good (pretty sweet but it's supposed to be), Tom yum had authentic mushrooms not like button ones, Crab rolls were good, Satay sticks had two dipping sauces

The food here is really great! I used to go to another Thai restaurant in Foster City and this place definitely has better food at a more reasonable price. It's also next to the park so this is great for date night as well. I highly recommend any Thai food lover to try them out.

Hands down. This is worth all the good reviews. I recently moved to the Bay Area and was looking for a new Thai place to call my favorite. I'm super glad I came to this one! I had the spicy fried rice, and they were all coated well with seasoning. For those who like spice, although this dish is categorized as spicy, it isn't. It's more like a 3 out of 10 for me. All good. Just ask for chili sauce! My partner and I had the mango sticky rice as well. Portion is small but really good if you aren't trying to roll out of a restaurant! I loved that they fried and salted the mung beans on top of the sweet rice. Together with the semi sour mango, the flavor profile is great! Definitely recommend giving it a try. Price is fair for the portion, and the flavors are well done! 10/10! Will be back.

Pretty good thai food, pad see you was slightly burnt but otherwise good. The crab rolls are a must try. Comfy atmosphere and very good service.

Since moving to San Mateo, it's been hard finding a really good Thai restaurant. Chuan Chim solved that! The food is stellar. Exactly the type of Thai cuisine that I've been looking for. It's flavorful with plenty of your staples, but a fair amount of innovative riffs on classic dishes. Service is great and attentive. I'm excited every time I'm in the area because I can grab a bite here

Great food and space overall. Definitely going back to try the other dishes. Their crispy pork is exquisite!

Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 My favorite Thai restaurant in the bay area! I've been here multiple times and the food never disappoints. Servers are always attentive and food always comes out fast. Plus, portions are huge! We ordered: - Crab Rolls: Must get! Perfectly crispy on the outside and the filling is super tasty! - Tom Yum Soup: Good amount of sourness and not too overpowering - Pad See You: Classic and flavorful. Noodles have good amount of chewiness - Green Curry: One of the best Thai curry I've had. Good amount of spice to it and good flavors but not too overpowering. - Khao Soi: The noodles pair very well with the curry and the chicken was so tender and juicy - Pork Spare Ribs Panang Curry: The spare ribs was so tender and falls right off the bone. - Crispy Branzino: Fish was perfectly crispy and flaky. Portion is huge; whole fish is served.

My go to Thai place in the Peninsula. This place is absolutely delicious! The inside is very cute and cozy. We had a party of 7 on a Saturday night around 6:15pm and had to wait a bit because it was already full! Only waited around 10-15 minutes which wasn't so bad. All of the food came out so quickly. The portions are HUGE, high quality, and well worth the money. My go to favorites are of course the pad Thai, pad see ew, and the chicken.

I was passing through this area around dinner time and was looking for a Thai restaurant that would satisfy that winter craving for hot green curry. We arrived about 30 minutes from closing, but the waiters, even though they were incredibly busy, we're glad to take our to go order. The green curry was really nice. The vegetables, especially the green beans, were nice and crisp and the coconut base was rich and fragrant. This meal definitely satisfied my craving and if we had more time, I would've wanted to sit in and enjoy the hip and modern interior. The restaurant almost reminds me of a hip wine bar with its overhead lighting, bench, seating, and wine menu with a decent variety! There is ample parking and a few other tasty looking restaurants in the near vicinity. I would definitely recommend this place as a go to stop if you are ever crossing the Hayward Bridge into the bay area!

The food was good, no complaints about the service. Really nice interior. Unfortunately I did find a long dark hair in my curry (I have short sandy hair) as I was boxing it up, so needless to say I lost my appetite to finish those leftovers. Luckily I didn't find it until the end, because the meal itself was good. Would have given 4 stars easily otherwise.

I stopped by on a weekday evening and was seated immediately--no wait at all, which was a great start! The tom kha soup came out first, and let me tell you, it was hands down the best I've ever had. Creamy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced--it set the bar high for the rest of the meal. Luckily, every other dish we tried was just as delicious, packed with bold flavors and great attention to detail. Even though it's a bit of a drive for me, I'd happily make the trip again to explore more of their menu. Highly recommend!

Came to Chuan Chim and enjoyed the experience! We wanted the Taste of Thai experience but they were sold out of the BBQ Chicken so we audibled to the papaya salad, the housemade fish cakes, and the crispy duck lettuce wraps. The papaya salad was huge! It was sufficiently spicy, sour, and crisp but we weren't a huge fan of the lettuce that was added in to fluff up the salad. It's not authentic and iceberg in general doesn't add much to a dish. When it came to the fish cake, they were plump, juicy, and had a really pleasant bounciness. I really liked how green onions and basil were mixed into the cakes too! The dipping sauce was nutty, sweet, and sour which I also found very enjoyable! Unfortunately we both weren't huge fans of the crispy duck wraps. It was really salty! I also thought that it could use some other elements to change up the textures a bit. I would not recommend this dish. Overall despite one miss, we liked our meal enough that we've already decided this restaurant can be added to our repeatable list.

Breezy casual nice Cafe for a light meal. What I tried from their kitchen, I quite liked. Not super literate in Thai cuisine but my gut guesses this particular restaurant cooks in a hybrid style: some Chinese element in with the Thai ingredients and recipes. My gut can be completely wrong on this theory, though. The stir-fried Noodles and the Fried Rice dishes come with a choice of Chicken or Pork. If you want Beef or Prawns or "Moo Grob (crispy pork belly)" there will be a surcharge on the regular noodle menu price. Tofu and Vegetarian options are available. Pad Kee Mao with pork was quite nice. The dish was Stir-fried flat rice noodles with house special sauce, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and basil. Pineapple Fried Rice was really good, my friends had that. This popular dish combines sweet pineapple chunks and stir-fried jasmine rice with garlic, onions, curry powder, cashew nuts, raisins, chicken and shrimp, served with sliced cucumber and cilantro. Chef's Specials include Grilled Rib Eye Steak, which includes steamed mixed veggies, and sticky rice, serve with Thai country style spicy sauce. More examples of their special recipes... "Fish on Fire": Filet of salmon grilled with Choo Chee sauce, kafir lime leaves, grilled asparagus served flambé with rum and steamed veggies. How about "Crispy Chicken Pineapple": Golden crispy boneless chicken breast sauteed with fresh pineapple, bell peppers, onions, garlic, cashew nuts and Thai spicy sweet tamarind garlic sauce. Also. "Rib Eye Steak Green Curry": Grilled rib eye steak, grilled bell peppers, Chinese eggplants, asparagus, and basil with green curry sauce. Service is gracious, warm and friendly. Ambiance is stylish modern Cafe, dark and red tones and nice decor. My friends and family and I enjoyed our visits at Chuan Chim. If you are seeking Thai food and happen to come through Foster City, stop in for a nice meal.

I ordered the fried tofu, the fried calamari and the papaya salad. The papaya salad is very close to what I tried in Thailand. I love the design of the place and there is plenty of space to seat indoor outdoor and on the bar.

Small mom and pop thai restaurant with good curries, amazing noodle and an Outdoor space that is pup friendly. Everything was delicious, service was ok (prob cuz we were outside on a busy night) and ambiance was ok. Parking was easy since it was a residential and commercial compound. Will return. Approx $40/person.

The in - store environment is pleasant, the service is attentive throughout, the food variety is rich, and the taste is even more praiseworthy.

Quick take: nice presentation This is a pretty nice looking restaurant. Dining on a Wedding night and the place was busy. Loved the presentation of the food. Flavor is good too. Portions are a little small compared to other Thai restaurants. It's nice place to celebrate a birthday.

Came here on a Monday night and it was packed. This place gave me hope. :) In general, I enjoyed most of their dishes. To my surprise, their pad thai and the chicken satay weren't so good. They used chicken breast for the satay and they were dry. The pad thai was bland and the noodle was soggy. Otherwise, the other entrees were flavorful. The catfish was nicely fried, crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. I could taste the basil and the "wok air". The best part was their desserts. They had the steamed taro wrapped in sticky rice which was delicious.

Arrived for dinner on Friday before 6 PM and were able to get seated inside right away, it quickly got busy though, although they had plentiful outdoor seating. The service wasn't great, but it was also quite busy inside. We ordered the appetizer combination sampler and two items from their seasonal menu: khao soi beef short ribs and curry soft shelled crab. The food was all quite good! I liked the variety of the sampler, although the skewer was a bit dry. The short ribs was soft and the meat fell off the bone. The soft shelled crab was still crispy, and there was quite a lot for the price! We didn't try more "classic" Thai dishes this time, but were happy with what we got and had plenty of leftovers to bring home.

- Casual neighborhood setting. Sat outside on a sunny Sunday afternoon - Service could be better. No water refill given - Enjoyed our dishes, make sure you let them know the level of spiciness Total for 3 people- $80 tip not included

Food was delicious and the place was comfortable and nice without being pretentious. I had a soft shell crab salad. Their salad greens were fresh and there was a generous amount of soft shell crab. Personally would prefer a little less lime dressing. Service was very efficient. I was given the check after my meal and all my used dishes, utensils along with my water glass and everything else was cleared away at the same time. That left me with no chance of hanging around after I finished eating.

Located in a plaza with plenty of parking. We were seated right away. Interior is nice and cozy with plenty of seats. Fast and friendly service. I noticed they served in a kiddie cup and plates in the table next to us, so this place seems very kid-friendly. Regrettably, the food didn't live up to expectations. The Pad Kee Mao was so salty that it was difficult to finish. The chicken was very dry. We also had the pineapple fried rice which was okay, but it didn't impress. It was a bit plain in flavor other than the pineapples, and I wish there were more pineapples. The chicken in the fried rice was also very dry. Maybe we went during an off day, but I wouldn't come back. For the price point and flavor, I think there are better options for Thai food in the Bay Area.

Food is very good but service was incredibly slow on a Saturday lunch. We waited quite a bit for the food to come out, to pay the check, for everything. They need to work on speed and efficiency. Restaurant is very nice and modern.

We stopped by on a Friday for lunch, and they were pretty busy, almost all the outdoor tables were taken and 2/3 of the tables inside were occupied. We waited for a few minutes to be seated, and another few minutes to get water. They were friendly but not super attentive, which was fine, just had to wave them down for anything. Food came pretty fast and everything was pretty tasty. We tried the bags of gold, trip to Thai, crispy garlic prawns and fish on fire. For bags of gold, I get how a lot of work went in to prep the "gold" but it's kind of pricey to get 4 pieces of appetizers for $15. Also, they didn't list that there's cilantro in the ingredients. You get a big piece of bbq chicken for trip to Thai, papaya salad and some sticky rice in a cute container. The display was great. Garlic shrimps were really garlicky and crispy. Fish on fire, salmon was a little dry but the Choo Chee sauce was pretty yummy and would go really well with rice. Personally I Wish they could give more veggies for both garlic prawns and fish on fire.

Made a reservation for 9 people for Mother's Day (but on a Saturday) at 5:30. We were seated almost quickly. We ordered so many dishes that I cannot remember. But I do recommend doubling up orders for any of the apps if you have a large group. The crab pad see ew was so good! My grandma loved the chicken skewers that she asked to get an extra order to go. We also got the Tom kha soup and it was really good but not enough for our group. But that's fine because we ordered like 15 dishes. Because our group was big, I do feel like the service staff were antsy. Some dishes came out really fast while others we had to ask multiple times. But maybe next time I'll come w a smaller group. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a step up from typical Thai food! Easy parking too!

*Parking: Restaurant is located in a plaza with lots of free parking *Experience: We got here around 5:30pm on a Wednesday and was seated immediately. It got super busy at 6:30pm, prime dinner time! Service was friendly and ambiance was great! Very cute Thai place. *Food: we got the Tom Kha cup of soup and it was enough for the two of us to share. Highly recommend getting plain white rice to pair with this to make a perfect combo! As mains, we got the pad kee mao and pineapple fried rice. The pad kee mao was not spicy at all and had a lot of "wok" flavor so it was really well made. I would ask for a bit extra spice next time to give it a good kick. The pineapple fried rice was also solid and flavorful with very juicy prawns! Overall we loved every dish we got and would definitely come back!

This place deserves a Michelin star! The food here is delicious. The Tom Yum Goong is THE BEST in the Bay! Panang Curry with Beef is amazing! Roti with Green Curry, Calimari, Larb Salad w/ pork. So many other items on the menu are excellent, if I kept going I'd basically include the whole menu. Must eat with the family! Service is great as well, however, be patient when coming during prime hours as they'll have a full house plus numerous to go orders.

I would say this place was a 3.5 star so rounded to a 4 star for me. Came on a Saturday for lunch and there was no line. I love that this place seems clean and modern. We ordered the fried crab roll, pad Thai with roast pork, and a tom yum. Fried crab roll 5/5 You need to try this appetizer! It was flavorful and tasty and didn't even need the sauce. I loved the umami packed deliciousness inside the crispy fried skin! Tom yum 3/5 Pretty standard tom yum and slightly too sweet for me. They do give you a bunch of things in the broth. But I prefer more lemongrass and more salt rather than sweet. Pad Thai 4/5 The pad Thai had good wok flavoring and was tasty. Would order it again. Roast pork 3/5 The crispy bits are always delicious but the meat overall was pretty tough and dry. Do not spend extra money for this! We also asked repeatedly for Thai chili sauce and I'm not sure if it was the language barrier or they just don't have it but we never got any which would've helped with the dryness of the pork. Overall, I will definitely come back and want to try other dishes especially the dishes that are stir fried. It's also one of the best Thai restaurants in the area but expect to pay a little more for that. It does seem like this place is a hit or miss depending on the day based on other people's reviews.

Not compostable containers sent for delivery. :( Super delicious but I'll avoid delivery for now and try eating in.

Went here for dinner. There is a decent amount of parking space in the lot. Went here in a good time there wasn't a long wait. Staff got us seated quickly and our food came quickly. I got the pad Thai and Thai ice tea. The pad Thai had a good spice to it. I'm excited to try other things. It was good would recommend coming here.

I think this is definitely one of the better Thai restaurants in the bay area! The service was friendly and fast, the place is so cute and cozy and their food is SO GOOD... Another GF meet up and I'm so happy we tried this place!! The only negative I will say is their Roti was a huge disappointment. It was so oily and greasy. It was a bit off putting. In fact - you could see the "shine" from the oil in the pictures - so definitely needed to pat the oil off and the texture was a bit too chewy. So was disappointed that a simple appetizer that typically is so good at Thai restaurants was a big no. BUT everything else was DELICOUS and amazing. So much flavor and textures! our favorite was the Crispy Duck Lettuce Wraps - this is on their special menu. What's funny is at first we were looking for a "sauce" as most lettuce wraps have some kind of sauce with it - OMG - it didn't need a sauce as it was SO FLAVORFUL with a lime juice dressing. Along with the very crispy duck and fresh crunchy lettuce. HUGE HIT!! That took away the Roti experience 10 fold!! Another hit was their Pad See You with Shrimp!! One of the best ones I've had with huge pieces of shrimp - tender flavorful noodles and a bit of the sitr fried Chinese broccoli. I will say serving size was a bit small a ding there as well. We also got their Eggplant Stir fry with chicken. Again - so much flavor - not sure why I took a picture of mostly rice but you can see the deliciousness in the background! LOL. And lastly we got the yellow curry with Pork. Very tasty - but the potatoes were HUGE chunks. I guess it's so it didn't dissolve and it did have a lot of flavor but was hard to share. I'm wondering if they misunderstood our order - I didn't think we ordered a "rice plate" as it came with a little salad too? But it worked. Their salad was tasty and we loved their dressing. Next time I would maybe just get a side salad :) Overall great food - a little miss here and there but definitely a top Thai restaurant pick. And it was a great place to hang out with friends to chat and catch up! Great vibes!!

Wow what a nice restaurant! I went here with my son, and the waitress brought a kids themed cup and plate. The khao soi beef special was great. We went next door to grab a mango lassi to bring back, and they were totally cool with that which was nice. The waitress was also great about bringing napkins and checking on us if we needed anything.

Insta worthy and the food is amazing Girls night? Date Night? Solo eats? The vibes are great! Music is always on point too!

One of my favorite Thai spots in the peninsula. My go to dishes are their pad kee Mao and Tom kha soup. Dishes always come out seasoned great and cooked perfectly! Love that they also have seasonal specials (ex crab rolls or crispy duck) and more unique dishes that you may not find at other spots in the area. Brownie points that they have a nice outdoor patio out front too so we always come here with the pups on a nice day. Glad to have this restaurant closeby as a regular spot.

Been waiting to try for so long and OMG ! Ambiance is very comfortable and never felt rushed to leave Food was SO GOOD! Must get the shrimp head curry special. So flavorful and delicious! Can't wait to go back and try more!

Chuan Chim Thai Cuisine is as good and authentic as advertised. The Tom Kha chicken soup, fish cake and chicken satay were excellent starters. My Royal Pad Thai have extra large shrimp (including the non-sharp head) along with an egg wrap on top of the pad Thai. Staff were friendly and the food came out piping hot in less than 10 minutes. I highly recommend Chuan Chim for delicious and authentic Thai food! A Must Try next time you are in San Mateo Foster City area.

I've been passing by this restaurant during my bike rides over to Leo Ryan Park ever since it opened about two years ago? It's nestled in a little boulevard of restaurants inside Foster's Square Plaza, a nice-community or high-tech apartments, the FC Library, the FC Post Office, the FC Police Dept, the FC Fire Department, and the FC Recreation Center. It's a fabulous location, however I'm noticing a lot of vacancies coming up lately. The Mongolian place just closed, the Indian restaurant has been closed, and the Japanese place closed fairly recently. What's remaining is a Hot Pot place, a Mediterranean place, Erik's Deli Cafe, and Happy Lemon desserts. The rent must be super high here, because I don't think that a lack of traffic would force so many closures. This is as central in Foster City as it gets, so a restaurant would really have to be poor to not have any business. Ok, now onto my experience. Parking is great, plentiful, and getting here was very convenient thanks to freeways and main streets. The restaurant is nicely decorated, clean, and the lighting was dim, and good for a night time dining experience. Hardwood floors make this restaurant pretty loud. Add to that, a bunch of yelling & crying toddlers and it kind of killed the mood. I get that families like to go out to eat together, but please restrain your children especially around parties that are trying to dine in peace and have a conversation without yelling? The service is pretty bad. Beware of the short-haired girl with glasses, she's pretty ornery. Our waitress was the youngest person there and she was nice, but rarely checked up on us, if at all. I asked the short-haired girl for one water re-fill and some chopsticks, and she looked at me like I was asking her for a complicated request. In fact, the first time, she walked away from me muttering something under her breath *inaudible.*. There were only about 6-occupied tables with a total of under 20 people in the restaurant, and service was extremely absent & cold. The food was so-so. We ordered Pad Thai and Pad See Yew, and asked to share the plates, which required additional plates. They acted like we were asking for something that they did not have *rolls eyes." The Pad Thai was overly sweet, the portions were tiny, and barely had any tofu or egg. Instead, they did pile on the cheapest ingredient, raw bean sprouts. Noodles were cooked well, but the sauce was was too sweet and pretty sparse. The Pad See Yew was better, but really, really salty and like the Pad Thai, the best ingredients like broccoli and tofu were really sparse. The noodles were good, but the sauce was way too salty. I reluctantly asked for more water and some Sriracha sauce to wash down the overly sweet & overly salty noodle dishes, and again, it was like pulling teeth. First, I had to signal a waitress 3x, and when I finally got her attention, she acted like she didn't want to come over. I have to mention that the water glass smelled & tasted fishy too. Not a very good experience here when the food, service, and portions were so lackluster to non-existent. Plus one for the convenience of parking, speed of bringing out the food, and the decor. Minus one for the noise, the service, and the taste of the food. All in all, it was pretty disappointing. I want to come here. I wanted to like this place. The Yelp ratings seemed very high, but mine is not. Not the worst restaurant that I've ever been too, but certainly among the local choices for asian food, one of the lower ones. I prefer Sweet Thai Basil or Thai Elephant or Thai Satay much more. I probably won't come back here until I hear about the service & food improving, if ever. Too bad, it really looked promising on the outside, inside, and based on past reviews. My experience was pretty disappointing. Even the Trader Joe's frozen versions of these dishes for $5 taste better, plus I don't have to experience the attitude of waitstaff nor eat around a bunch of rowdy children. I'll get to eat in peace with chopsticks, lots of water, and my own bottle of Sriracha.

Very good thai food near foster city. The interior is pretty nice tho my seat was hard loll. I hadnt had spring rolls with the thick kind of rice paper before and i liked it! The peanut sauce was delicious. I also ordered the pineapple fried rice which had huge cubes if pineapple in it and it was good! The garlic prawns were my bf's fav. They were a little too salty for me. The ribs were okay some parts were a bit tough tho. Also ordered a pad Thai ish dish with shrimp heads and fish sauce, interesting. I liked that alot of the dished had veggies in them! Great service will def be back!

Ordered pickup from their online portal. Pineapple fried rice, pad Thai, pad see ewe: All solid options, but not necessarily standout. Green curry: This was my favorite dish. Great curry flavors. Crispy chicken pineapple: served on a pineapple, it's probably better to get this for dine in as the chicken wasn't crispy when we ate it. Overall, a solid Thai restaurant that I wouldn't mind coming back to.

Such a delectable and wonderful meal! There was no shortage of flavor, and the portion sizes were amazing for the price. I was especially enamored with the soft shell crab, which was so delicately crunchy. The branzino was a favorite as well, with a sweet and tangy garlic sauce covering a crispy and perfectly cooked fish. Red curry and beans were delicious as well. Spice levels are pretty mild, even for medium-level spicy, so definitely opt for spicier levels if you prefer spicier foods.

I've been here two times-the first was with a large party so we had to wait a while but the second time was on a Friday night as a party of 3 at around 6.30pm and there was no wait. We ordered the roti, chicken satay, papaya salad, pad see you, and the pork ribs (jim jaew). The roti was SUPER buttery, almost too buttery, but still really good. I liked the curry that it came with. The chicken satay was a bit dry but was ok paired with the peanut sauce. The papaya salad was a little too mild in spice for me but we ordered it mild so that was on us. The pad see you was ok-there was good wok flavor but the vegetables were too hard and the chicken was too dry. I wish I had ordered pork with it instead of chicken. The ribs were very tender and falling off the bone. There was good flavor and I liked the sauce that it came with. The sticky rice that came with the ribs was kind of hard though. I would like to try the panang curry ribs next time. Service was great. Our waiter was super friendly and came to check in on us several times. Overall it's a nicely decorated place, food was ok, but prices were kind of expensive.

We've visited a few times for dinner and we really like this restaurant. It's cute with nice service and has a great variety of Thai dishes, not just the typical things but they do our favorites really well too. We've tried plenty of new things and also ordered some of our go to's like pad see ew and enjoy our meal every time. I really loved the duck larb special we had once and wish they had it all the time. We will be regulars!

The food was so good! They also have lots of parking in the plaza so it is very accessible and easy. The food was delicious and in big portions to do family style. I got the yellow curry with tofu and it was so good! It was very flavorful and lots of veggies. I also got the pad thai with chicken and it was very yummy and they gave us lots of bean sprouts/lime on the side which was great! I will definitely be back!

I ordered a togo from this place and there was a piece of glass inside the pineapple fried rice that I bite on !! Wtf trying to kill people

We decided to try this out , but as take out. We ordered 5 things crispy garlic shrimp, pad Thai, curry short rib and half baked chicken. L Our take. The chicken was undercooked shrimp is very much fresh frozen (mushy) and pad Thai was ok. Maybe again in future dine-in this time. Overall not paying $30 plus for under and fresh frozen shrimp. Would recommend someone to try dine -in. The restaurant was happy to refund the dishes we weren't satisfied with and gave us a 50% our next dine- in visit.

Ate here long time ago & was ok. Craving for Thai & here we go again. Trying it again! We had the papaya salad, green curry friend rice & fried cat fish for dinner. They were all perfect! The sweetness & spicy level was on the point. Will be back soon!

Went again twice since my last review, and the food both times were much, much better. Service was also really great and attentive, even if they're really busy and perhaps understaffed. Definitely want to try one of their special panang curry dishes!

Best and perfect Tom Yum Soup I've had so far! One of the gal should be more friendly, but hey! It's ok- as long as food is good and no rudeness done. It's all good! Nice floor they've got. There are tables on the side that can cater to a good amount of party. Tables outside are heated. Will definitely come back!

So here's the thing my main gripe is the service is not bad. It's terrible. Seven of us came for lunch on a Sunday . They dropped off our food at the table. Their Next visit to the table was 42 minutes later. I had to go up three times for water, for napkins, and to order something else Tip was about $52 which they mandated since there were over six of us, the service was very weak and there was no one. I could talk to there or evencall to let them know. Really poor management. I don't think there's a manager on site.

Never in my 15 years of dating has a guy messaged TWICE "I want to test how we are in silence , lets do X , Y , Z activities to see how we do. (EX: massage)". But we never met each other before nor talked on the phone ever. THAI (try) and change my mind that.. it's the most odd thing anyone has ever said. HELLO???? CHIM I the only one who feels like this is weird??? .:: FOOD ::. Thai Curry Puff $12: 3 almost empanada type of puffs but thai style with curry in the middle. Very unique as I've never had something like this but the outside was flakey and crispy, while the inside was soft and hot. Pad See You $17: Not bad, the noodles stuck to each other a lot more than usual, usually a very standard thai dish. The chicken pieces were pretty big... wish it was more bite size Crab Fried Rice: $26: Not our favorite. The crab was very ... in chinese we say "SAANG" which means it very oceany? LOL omg I dont know how to describe it. But it wasnt too well made. Not much flavors to the dish. .:: Service / Ambiance / Parking ::. The waiter / host (both the same person) was SUPER NICE. And I mean super nice. I almost wanted to bump this up to a 4 for his service but the food just didnt meet expectations. We were seated immediately for a table of 2 on a Wednesday night around 5:30pm. Food came in a timely manner and staggered. The place was very thai influenced but with a minor modern twist. A bit more dim where we were sitting. Parking was easy in a parking lot.

The most delicious Thai food I have ever had. I truly love the ambiance and the staff make sure their customers are their number one priority. Will definitely come back.

The food was great (I had the pad thai with pork belly). But my server had a really bad cough and was coughing almost continuously, even while serving my food. She also wasn't wearing a mask. The whole time, I was wondering if I was going to get COVID from eating here. Please consider encouraging your employees to stay home when sick, and giving them enough paid sick days that they can afford to.

Definitely one of the best Thai food restaurants I have been to in the area. Service was fast, inside was clean, and food was great. We got the Penang beef curry (~$20) which was one of the tastiest Thai dishes I have had in a while. The beef is so tender and the curry is super flavorful, a bit spicy but not too much. We also got the chicken wings which came with a tasty sweet chili sauce. It was a little too fried/greasy but I still enjoyed it. Will definitely come back.

Great Thai food in foster city. Originally supposed to go to sizzling lunch but they closed until further noticed. So we decided to check out Chuan Chim Right next door. It did not disappoint. Excellent Thai food and the service was great. The crispy pork belly salad and it was very crispy and flavorful. Only thing is we wish it had a little more lettuce in the salad. The pineapple fried rice was excellent. We thought it would come serviced in a pineapple though. The pad Thai was perfect. The green curry with chicken was great. But they should include a bowl of rice to make it a meal instead of ordering a side of rice. The branzino was perfect. It was sweet and crispy. Perfectly cooked and very good size for the price. Inside was clean. If it was nicer weather outside we would have definitely opted to eat on their patio. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area and now we found a new place for some good Thai food

Everything here was so delicious. It was hard to pick what to order since the regular menu items were delicious and the staff recommended the special menu they had for winter. The service was amazing and the place was so nice. If a sit down dinner isn't what you want then the bar is also amazing. The drinks are delicious!
