Honey Thai Restaurant

I don’t understand how this place only has 3.5 stars. The food was excellent and I have tried many, many Thai restaurants in the bay area. We started with the Roti Panang, shared a pumpkin beef curry and combo pad thai, and got a side of healthy brown rice. The pumpkin beef curry was phenomenal! The flavor of the sauce was spot on and the pumpkin was cooked perfectly. A good amount of beef too! The pad thai was perfect too but I just wish they could have put more than 2 pieces of shrimp in it but being that it was a combo I can’t argue too much. The Roti Panang was your typical as everywhere else. Portion size was great and fast service too. We did not eat inside but took to go. The place is cute but maybe not as busy as it should be for lunch time. I will be going back again soon!

I don’t eat Thai food often but when I do, I come here because their food is delicious and it’s nearby my house.
Some of my favorites are:
–Pineapple fried rice (even though I don’t like pineapple in my food lol)
–Duck fried rice (duck2bomb)
–Basil beef chicken (spicy but tasty)
–Pad thai (very flavorful and saucy)
The aura of the room is quiet w peaceful music; I feel like I have to whisper when I come here lol.
The service is good as well! I recommend – I have yet to try out other places though

Vegetarian review– tom yum soup was good with lots of veggies. Red curry fried rice was very dry and didn’t had any flavor at all. Service was decent and place was not crowdy on Sunday morning.

This is our «go to» Thai place locally.
There are never TOO many people (although sometimes it can get loud), which is good. The décor is minimal but nice. The FOOD is fresh tasting and yummy. Customer service varies, as the staff seems to change very quickly here. Not a big deal… the menu has also changed over the years. However, we continue to enjoy every visit we have here!
Ordered and enjoyed: curries, pad thai, rice, noodles, papaya salad (fave!), chicken, seafood dishes, fish, pork, egg rolls, chicken satay, soups, etc. All tasty!

Came in for lunch after a hike and Honey Thai was good. Their lunch specials come with a bowl of soup with your entrée. Prices are okay too. I had the pad thai and that was such a large serving! I had to bag half of it back home. My cousin had the yellow curry, but the portion of rice was very small… and hard as if it had been sitting in the bowl for a while. Also, my other cousin had their tom yum soup. She said that it was a little sweeter than she is used to. Overall, Honey Thai is a ³⁄₅ stars. Good, but have room for improvement.

I went to dinner with my brother here. We got roti panang. I forgot what my brother got. But I ordered pork mussamun curry. Instead I got yellow curry chicken. I was hungry and I didn’t bother returning my dish. The steamed rice portion was too small. The restaurant wasn’t busy. So I don’t understand the mix up with my order. Luckily, the dish was good.

I’ve only been here at odd hours so I don’t know how busy they get or what the service is like when it’s busy.
When it’s quiet, they are very attentive and quick. The pad see ew is very good with a good about of gravy sauce. I usually order my food medium spicy but here that’s putting it lightly. I love spicy food but this was making me cry! Now I only order it normal and ask for the hot sauce on the side. Another dish is the house fried rice. Very flavorful and delicious. Good portions.

Food was served quickly, portions were just the right size, though a little bit on the salty side. Would come back!

Very close to my work so it’s my go to Thai place for lunch. The lunch prices are great. I have tried many things on their menu and everything tastes good.

I tried this place for the 1^st time and their Pad Thai noodles is the best dish in this restaurant. I love Panang curry and I ordered it to see. The result, I make better curry

Haven’t been here in a while, it looks like they are under new ownership. Picked up lunch to go; Basil Chicken and Pad Thai. Basil Chicken was delicious, but no spiciness at all (maybe my fault for not specifying spiciness level, but most of the time it is at least a bit spicy), and I thought the portion was a bit small. Pad Thai wasn’t bad either, but I’ve had better elsewhere. Overall quality of food is not bad, but feels like price is a bit high for the portions given.

I’ve been eating at a lot of Thai restaurants lately, and this place was pretty decent.
I came in with some friends, and no one was in the building at all, no employees in sight. Stayed for 3 min and felt awkward so we left. Decided after debating on another thai place to give it another try. Came back 15 min later and still no one. but the employees were there!
Waiter greeted us and gave us menus. Considering no one was there, I expected faster service, but I’m not complaining. It’s been a long day and I’m sure that the food is made to order so it’s probably really fresh (and it tasted really fresh!)
The pad see ew was delicious. I got it with beef and it tasted great! The pad thai lacked in flavor and I wish they had sauces available. People came in, but there were still moments of awkward silence every now and then.

Absolutely LOVE the food here. I believe the place was remodeled. Very spacious and clean looking. Great and attentive service. Whenever in Milpitas this is my new go-​to! Love the pad Thai and pineapple fried rice. Flavorful! Highly recommend!

The place is really small and I ordered take out. The restaurant looks clean and the staff was alright. I did not interact with them so it is hard to say how their service was for a so down restaurant. The food was more expensive than I expected it to be. I ordered the duck curry and that was a great disappointment for the price. They barely had any duck in the curry and they could add more flavor to the curry. They had pineapple in this curry and to my taste I was not a fan. Also do not eat the basil they have in the curry, it was hard and bitter. The house fried which you were able to select beef, chicken ot pork. Seafood was extra charge and this came in a very large portion compare to the duck curry. They had nice to go boxes and even double cover the curry so it would not spill. So that was nice. I probably will not come here again alone but maybe if I go with friends.

We came here on a Friday night and the place was empty. I thought it was strange because they normally would be «busy». Then I thought perhaps they changed ownership? Well, when I came home and checked Unilocal — sure enough, someone mentioned that they had changed ownership five months ago or so.
Anyway, we ordered just one dish and it was good. No complaints about that. Normally we would order an appetizer and dessert, but in this case we didn’t because we were turned off by the waiter being «sick». He was coughing openly (not covering his mouth). And in the kitchen, you can hear a few coughs now and then. It was not a good sign.
The ventilation wasn’t up to par in the dining area as well. There was this lingering smell — maybe cleaning odors or something — but we ended up getting «sniffles» after an hour and we couldn’t wait to get out to get some fresh air.
Service was fine because we were the only ones there, but sadly, we won’t return. (And I do hope that waiter stays at home and get well — or at least curb his coughing when he is in the dining area /​kitchen. Customers observe these things, too.)

I have eate here a few times already and by far the best Thai restaurant I have been to. Great service and everyone have a smile all the time. Love the how clean it is and the music for a very enjoyable lunch or dinner.
Will be coming here again this weekend with a group of friends.
Highly recommended if you are looking for a good Thai food restaurant.

Went today and service was bad n slow as hell. I dont wanna blame the dude cuz he was the only one workin that nite but it was pretty bad. He forgot our thai iced teas n we had to remind him. Also, we ordered a Pad See Ew that he forgot to put in that we ended up canceling. The food took forever to come out, but maybe thats cuz there was only one cook or something. Id say our dinner took about 1.75 hrs, which is abnormally long for a thai restaurant.
Service aside the food was meh.
Food–
Honey Thai Sampler: Took forever to come out. Probably one of the better dishes that we ordered. Everything came out hot n fresh. Taste was solid nuthin too crazy.
Green Curry w/​Beef: The best dish of the night fsure. A lil sweeter than normal but thats ok. The beef was also decent n not dry.
Tom Yum Soup: A lil more sour than normal but thats also fine. Decent amount of shrimp. Came at a decent time.
Spicy Crispy Sea Bass: Major disappointment. For 18.95, I expected this to be one of the better dishes of the night. Not crispy at all and you can taste the doughy batter on the sea bass. I dont know if thats because it had been sitting out and gotten soggy (the dish came out cold) or if it just wasnt fried enough. Should have jus gotten regular curry, which I feel they do way better. Wouldnt recommend this dish at all.
Overall, everything was jus ok and normally Id probably give this place a 3, which would still mean decent but having something left to be desired, however, the negatives on the service plus the crappy sea bass kinda bumps it down to a 2.5.

Their pad Thai is one of my favs!
If I was in a mood for some Thai food, this is always that comes in mind when I am at work. Service is great and they recently remodeled their location to accommodate more guest.
I always call in my order ahead of time so when I don’t have to wait to be served. Overall, service is good and food is definitely delish!

Very cute restaurant at very reasonable prices. They are fast and the food comes out pretty fast. 3.5 stars, the food is mediocre.
I see a lot of people coming in for take out

My company caters from them quite often. I finally had the chance to try the food in the restaurant. I was quite impressed by the service received.
Their green curry with tofu and pad see ew noodles with shrimp was delicious! The curry was not watered down yet not overly thick. The noodles were eggy and flavorful I liked how they used Chinese broccoli in the noodle dish.
Had their vegetarian egg rolls to start. They were freshly fried and came out steaming hot. Very tasty! It came with a sweet chili sauce which went well with it. I asked for some fish sauce too. Unfortunately, they wanted $ 2 for a side of peanut dipping sauce (the same sauce they include with their satay dishes)
The pad see ew was delicious! The shrimp was not over cooked like other places. It had a nice eggy flavor. I likes how they included American and Chinese broccoli.
Also tried their green curry with tofu. It was good but I expected more veggies. There were two pieces of eggplant, broccoli, and a few pieces of tofu.
I also ordered their basil tofu to go (for dinner). It was quite flavorful. I’m sure it would have been even better fresh.
I’ll be back to try their yellow curry, egg plant dishes, and soups!
