Absolutely BEST THAI food in Central California. Owner is from Thailand and cooks authentic Thai food with 100% fresh vegetables. The chicken basil with sticky rice is my all time favorite!! I have been a solid patron since 2008 and have never had a bad meal !!

The food is good. That is reason enough to stop here. They make the vegetables very tasty which is coming from a guy that is so so with veggies. This is a place better suited for take out but there is seating for about 20 people. I ordered the #5 special with peanut sauce veggies and extra spicy red Currie beef. Good combo since the peanut sauce needs the spicy heat. My Son had the orange chicken which was below average (can’t really beat the famous place). 2nd visit to this no frills place and will be back.

I placed an online order through their website. When I went to pick up the order I was told it was never received. Turns out they use a third party company to submit their orders. Per the owner he hadnt checked his emails to see if there were online orders and he was too busy to answer the phone in case they called with my order confirmation. I asked for a refund to which he told I would have to contact the third party company for the refund. When I was on the phone trying to get some help, the owner finally checked online and sure enough my order was there. However the owner decided he did not want to make my food for me.I ended up leaving without a refund and my food. Now I will have to dispute the charge with my credit card company for the $50 I paid for the food I never received. I dont know how customers are supposed to place their orders if the owner himself doesnt look online to make sure orders werent submitted and they dont answer the phone. I would suggest you go somewhere else for Thai food. There are better places where you will be treated better by the owner.

Food is fine, if you’re seeking an authentic Thai food experience look elsewhere. This is pretty generic ‘Americanized’. If you want spicy, emphasize you really want it spicy. The basic spice in dishes that are labeled ‘spicy’ is not even noticeable.

My first visit to the Thai Gem was a very pleasant experience. I was warmly greeted by the owner who informed me of the 35yr. family business. Within that time span no one has ever caught food poisoning due to every meal being freshly made and prepared for your satisfaction.As for me, I ordered Chicken Pad Thai and Soup Coconut Milk which was absolutely delicious (hot & fresh). Without hesitation I highly recommend the homestyle restaurant, Thai Gem.

Amazing place.. Family style. Tasty. Authentic. Solid eats. Never get stomachache. Vegetable Pad Thai only so the flavor of the pad thai such as tamarind and fish sauce shine, papaya salad, bbq beef salad, peanut sauce, mango sticky rice... The best combinations of all time without breaking your budget.Update: years later and they still have the food quality and taste expected and depends on. It explains how this place gather many regulars who know the menu in their memories and know the owner by stories.Depends on the time, rarely, they get overwhelm and service may seems slow, however, it doesnt affect the food taste. They always say: good things come to those who wait so just sit back, catch up with your love ones, take some deep breaths because the food will be enjoyable when it comes.Years later, the quality of food still there, amazing place, wonderful people.

The food here is amazing, the restaurant is clean and the staff was freindly. It doesnt look like much from the outside and its fairly simple inside but, the food is freshly made and delicious. The prices are ok, but its no wonder why this place has been here for 16 years now.

I am vegan and they had good options and tasted great! The pad thai with tofu was great and so were the spring rolls

Great authentic Thai food cooked by Thai cooks. Menu is very diverse and cuts of meat are tasty. I prefer family style so order several dishes and share with your companions. Enjoy the eating experience.
