Went here for a dinner with friends. Good Thai food. We ordered Basil friend rice, tom yum soup, Masamman curry, drunken noodles. Everything was good - loved the tum yum soup. Basil fried rice were a bit oily and could be better. Service was fast. They also give a complimentary traditional tea - which was nice. If you are in the area, definitely try this local Thai place.

We came in on a Thursday night and there was no wait for a table for 5. We started with calamari (ok, overcooked and chewy) and Tom yum soup with shrimp, it was good. Papaya salad add crab was soo good, a great assortment of veggies and tang. My favorites were seafood eggplant, pad see ew, and pad Thai. Dessert was mango sticky rice which was too sweet for my taste, it was overly sweet and mango was ok sweetness wise. Service was busy with to go orders, understandable but it was hard to flag them down for extra things.

A Taste of Thai Authenticity in San MateoBangkok Patio Restaurant is a culinary gem that has earned its place as one of my all-time favorite dining destinations. Nestled in the heart of San Mateo, this establishment has managed to bring the rich, vibrant flavors of Thai cuisine to California, and it does so with an authenticity and flair that is second to none.Having been a regular patron for years, Ive had the privilege of indulging in a wide array of dishes, each one consistently outstanding in flavor, freshness, and presentation. On my latest visit, I opted for the Pineapple Fried Rice and a delightful dish of Ginger with Fresh Veggies. Both were simply exquisite.The Pineapple Fried Rice was a harmonious blend of sweet and savory, with perfectly cooked rice, succulent pineapple chunks, and well-seasoned proteins. The Ginger with Fresh Veggies was a tantalizing affair of crisp vegetables and the invigorating kick of fresh ginger. Every bite was a reminder of why I keep coming back.The ambiance of Bangkok Patio complements the food perfectly, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere that enhances the dining experience. The staff and their hospitality are an integral part of what makes this place special. From the moment you walk through the door, youre greeted with genuine smiles and attentive service, creating an environment that feels both welcoming and intimate.One word of advice for fellow diners is to call and verify the restaurants hours before visiting, as they may vary from what is posted online. This minor inconvenience, however, does not detract from the overall excellence of Bangkok Patio.In conclusion, Bangkok Patio Restaurant has not only managed to maintain the highest standards of Thai culinary excellence but also fostered a sense of community and warmth that resonates with its patrons. Its more than just a restaurant; its a celebration of Thai culture and culinary artistry right in San Mateo. A solid 5 out of 5 stars, and a heartfelt recommendation for all who crave an authentic Thai experience. Enjoy!

First time here, went for lunch with my friend - great service and great food. Ordered the green curry with tofu and a side of white rice. Tasted very authentic! The medium spice level was pretty spicy.Only complaint was the price for a side of rice and Thai tea seemed a little high. I skipped on ordering the tea this time. I would go back and try other curry though. Curry price seemed good!

They said it’s the best pad Thai in town. YES!! If you like Thai food try their dessert and milk tea. No regrets. The host is super friendly and I can tell his very confident about his food and ingredients which he should be! I don’t live near but will definitely revisit again and again if I can!

I love this place!! What’s most important is the food… and it is delicious. They have great authentic Thai dishes, and everything I tried was great.My partner and I went two days in a row. I didn’t get a picture of the entrees we had in the first night (Pad Kee Mao) which was a generous portion and very tasty.However on our second night, we ordered the kao soi at the recommendation of the chef. It was AMAZING! So tasty and such a big portion! My partner and I shared it. We ordered rice to go with it and ended up getting a to-go box.The mango sticky rice was also some of the best sticky rice we have ever had, and one of the biggest portions of it we’ve ever had too. We also ordered the fried bananas and ice cream the first time and it was great as well, but the portions were so big that two desserts was definitely too much for just the two of us.The taste of food is always most important in my opinion, but what really makes this place memorable and worth coming back to (and what made me want to write this review) is the people who work there. The server and cook were sweet and helpful. They clearly prioritized our satisfaction above all else. So much so that when we ordered the two desserts the server/cook strongly suggested against that saying, “it’s too much!” (He was right!) and then did the same the next day when we ordered the rice with our kao soi, “it’s too much!” And joked about being right once we asked for our box at the end of the night.The restaurant atmosphere is certainly unique and very cute. I love that the rice comes in the shape of a heart (certainly fits the theme).I will definitely come back the next time I am in the area, and I highly suggest it to anyone who loves Thai food.

Excellent Thai food!! They make it as spicy as you like and so delicious!! Service is excellent too!! We asked for Eggplant to be added to our Basil Beef...it was amazing. We ordered Basil Beef, Pad Thai with chicken and Panang Curry. Its so cute that they shape the rice into a heart.

We had a wonderful experience here, based on a recommendation of a friend. The pumpkin curry was the best Ive personally ever had - good enough that my wife finally admitted that what i ordered was better than what she ordered - which is unheard of. The Thai Iced Tea was great - we ordered one to split, and the amazing waiter (failed to get his name) split it into two glasses so we could have our own - very thoughtful. He was also very attentive and refilled my water as soon as it was half empty. He managed to staff all of the tables at once, and was very effective. Parking was good and in the back (accessible from a side street, a bit hard to find). Ignore the 20 minute limit sign. You can enter from the back (it feels a bit odd, youre kind of behind the counter as you enter). Well definitely be back!
