Reviews for Papa's Thai Cafe in San Luis Obispo, CA
We had Pineapple curry, chicken fried rice and pad thai and Thai fried tofu. The Thai food has a localised taste to it. The... curry lacks the usual Thai spiciness and is rich and creamy. It is mild enough for children. The restaurant was rather empty butthere were lots of people ordering takeout. Read more
This wonderful locally-owned Thai place has excellent flavors and I really appreciate NO MSG being used! And I love spice and... finally found it here! We asked and received Thai hot spice AND staff included ghost pepper flakes on the side for us in case.And those flakes are no joke! If you like volcano hot spice then this is the place to go to get it!???? That said, staff did anexcellent job asking and understanding our spice level needs to provide the right level?not everyone wants hot. So kudos to thestaff here and the awesome food. I will be back!

We ordered the pad see ew, fried wontons, and Thai iced tea. Flavors of the noodles is really good, perfectly spicy for me at... medium spice. It leaves your mouth burning a bit with the Thai ice tea to alleviate some pain. I?m taking away one star becauseit seems like a large dish but it?s under a bed of lettuce, so it?s not much. Some of the flat noodles pieces were bits andtiny, not uniform and good size. The taste is on the spot but just wish there was more noodles than veggies for that pricepoint. Popular spot, a group of people were even celebrating their birthday. Would come here again. Read more
Great Thai food in a casual and friendly environment. The family who runs it and people who work here make an effort to make you... feel welcomed by helping with recommendations. They remember me and help me order based on past orders. I?ve been to several ofthe Thai restaurants in the area and Papa?s is the one that I always come back to. Read more
Awesome Thai food and we enjoyed every meal we ordered. Big portions that didn?t skimp on flavor or quality. The owners were... the friendliest people ( of any restaurant I?ve been to. They also helped celebrate my nieces birthday out. Definitelyrecommend this place!! Read more
This place is awesome. Fast service and the noodles are fantastic (my pic doesn?t do it justice). My hubby and I shared the... drunken noodles with tofu and the pad see ew with beef- can?t say which I liked better because both were fabulous! Just go! Read more
David and Pim are amazing and so is their food. My husband and I have been here twice and the past 3 days. Yes, they are... legit. We had their pad thai, Khao soi, and pineapple fried rice. All 3 things were delicious but I will say the Khao soi mightbe a bit spicy but it is super good regardless. Just a heads up for those who can't eat spicy food. Overall they are superfriendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back!!! Read more
We ordered our food online around 4pm for pickup at 6:45pm. We arrived at 6:35 and it was already waiting on the counter, which... should have been a red flag. When we arrived home about ten minutes later, our food was barely warm and the noodles and otheringredients were very dry, like it had been sitting out for a few hours. My husband called to ask them if the order had beenmade when it was placed (rather than made for the pickup time) and left out for 2.5 hours, and whomever he spoke to (Danny orDavid or something like that) hung up on him rather than answer our question. I?m sure it would have been good if it had beenmade fresh, but it?s all very dry and the noodles are stuck together. My picture shows how dry the chicken was. Definitely willnot be going back or recommending this place to anyone if that?s the way they treat their customers. A phone number is attachedto our order if anyone from the business would like to reach out and discuss this. Read more
