“ First time trying and so glad I did. Been looking for yellow curry similar to Osha Thai in SF and this was similar. Egg rolls & Thai iced tea were pretty good. Friend got spicy drunken noodles and boy it was she liked it! It was almost noon and surprised it wasn't crowded yet perhaps because it was raining. The lady was friendly and attentive. Had cute golden statues & couple tvs. ”
“ Thai Stick is an amazing restaurant in downtown Millbrae, just off the exit from SFO airport! When you walk into this restaurant, you feel like it's more of a home feeling as you're immediately greeted by staff and seated with a friendly smile. The place is simple, but the food is soo good! I've been here many times and the food never disappoints. My favourite is the minced chicken, Thai spicy hot level with a fried egg on top. My friend ordered pad see ewe noodles with beef and looked and tasted so good! When you're having your meal, staff check on you and make sure you're satisfied. The owner and cook Paul is often in the kitchen making the delicious meals, but will occasionally walk around and chat with customers. The ambiance feels more like you're having a family dinner at a home with a relaxed atmosphere and conversations with staff. The price point is where you'd expect for a good, filling meal. If you're in Millbrae, I suggest you go give it a go! Parking is street parking and fairly easy to find a spot with parking lots around. ”
“ I don't understand why some reviewers are so negative, hostile really, about Thai Stick. I really think they are being unfair to this restaurant. My wife have been ordering from Thai Stick during short stays in the area over the past 10 years or more.The restaurant seems to do a very modest eat-in business, which worried us the last time we were here. But we almost always order to pick-up and take back to our room in a hotel across the street. The food is good, portions ample, and ready when promised, without any long delays that we have experienced elsewhere. We like Thai food, and I would rate Thai Stick a B or B- overall. Last night we ordered chicken larb, green papaya salad, and spicy eggplant. You can dial the hotness to your own preference. All the dishes were good, and we ended up with leftovers. I've given an overall rating of 4 stars. I think the food deserves a 3-1/2, with an additional 1/2-star for ease of ordering and quick service. Delivery is available, although we have never used it. ”
“ This is one of my favourite Thai restaurants in Millbrae. Foods are nice, tasty and balance. Not too sweet and sour. After that not too much fish sauce. Spacious and not crowded. We enjoyed all their foods. I forgot to took the photo of ground chicken salads, I love that one. In addition, Owner uncle is so nice and friendly. Fully recommended if you want to dine in nice foods and not too busy restaurant. ”
“ Surprised by how many low reviews are here. Wouldn't call this place amazing, but it's reasonably priced with good portions. I got the panang curry with chicken rice plate and it was a solid dish. I asked for it to be medium spicy, but it was VERY mild. Unlike most local Thai areas I like that this place gives you the option of "rice plate" to include rice in your meal with a smaller curry portion. Service was okay. We were the only customers dining it, so it's not like we were competing with other tables for attention. ”
