Hang Out Thai Restaurant

Definitely some of the best Thai Curry on the Central Coast. Pan and Marry are a delight. The prices are amazing. For those that have complained about not getting enough food, try ordering a different items (fried rice comes in a larger portion than Pad Thai), or, just get a second entree. Seriously, an order of Pad Thai is half the price of any other place with similar quality.

Food was tasty, service was exemplary they were extremely friendly and accommodating to our long list of dietary needs. Great value, so much food for how much we paid. Not the most authentic Thai food maybe but I'm not a snobby purist about my Thai food so that wasn't enough to out weight the charm of this quaint restaurant and it's kind employees. I like the tag walls too! Will be back! 🖤

The pad Thai is great and very fresh. Two person operation, with the Wizard behind the wall and the nicest lady on Earth out front. Call in your order unless you have time to wait in the dining room. Bring a bunch of colored sharpies and add to the decor!

I eat here almost every other week, that’s how much I love their food. Their food is delicious (and inexpensive!), with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. You can customize pretty much any dish however you want. Every dish is made to order. Because there is only one cook, the food can take a little while to get ready (it’s fresh!). I typically call ahead and pick up about 15-20 minutes after ordering. I only order 1 or 2 dishes though, so don’t expect a large order to be finished in only 15 minutes. The owners, Pon and Mary, are some of the most genuinely kind people I’ve ever met in my life.

As of September 2022 (probably before now) under new management but still delicious and a friendly atmosphere. One of my highest recommendations for anyone who enjoys Thai food. I love the food here! It is flavorful and delicous and always made the way you want it. The service is amazing too!

Excellent service! Food is amazing and the prices are low. Staff (who I assume are the owners) are very friendly and welcoming. I ordered the yellow curry and it was great. Definitely on the spicy side so if you're sensitive to that, I'd ask for a little less spice. Friends ordered the pad Thai and the house special fried rice plate. All was great, and again, the prices are fantastic. Highly recommend!

Today I had the Hang Out noodle special.....it used to be featured as a special, it's not on the menu but you can ask to have it made:) It's a Rice noodle dish with veggies and your choice of meat or tofu. Something light yet comforting and filling!!! It recently changed owners in March 2022. May the new owners be BLESSED with our community's support!!

BEST SERVICE EVER!!!!! Amazing people just absolutely amazing! As soon as my wife and kids walked in the cashier was super friendly and talkative and very accommodating to our kids picky preference, actually insisting to get our kids food perfect for their pickiness. Even better was just how great the food was, first time eating thai and im addicted for life. Even when my daughter started acting up the owners were super friendly making her smile. The best moment though was the owners telling their humble begginings of openingomn Christmas Day and telling our kids to put a dollar on the wall and draw on their walls. Our family most certainly will become regulars!

Pon makes the best Thai food in the Santa Maria area. We try and go at least once a week, the food is always good no matter what you order. Some of our favorites are the Eggplant, Panang Curry, and Curry Fried Rice. I recommend the Hang Out to anyone looking for something great to eat.

The woman who took our order was very nice and always had a big smile. The food was pretty good. She even brought us complimentary waters, since our food was pretty spicy. I do have to say though, the place could use a thorough cleaning. I will try it again though.

Food is pretty good. Nothing out of this world but not bad. Basically just a hole in the wall, so if you are into that kind of restaurant you'll probably like it. Be in for a wait though! Only one staff member and one menu at the front where you order. Not very convenient if you don't already know what you want. You just have to stand there and look at the one menu that they have while everyone behind you has to wait, not cool. Plus the food takes quite a while to get out of the kitchen so make sure you're not in a rush.

This is tiny little place. The food is decent for the price but not what I would call great Thai food. It's oddly sweet so I guess that they have adjusted for American palates. Again, for the price it is perfectly fine.

We called in and ordered our food for pick up. The three dishes was made quickly (in about 20 minutes). The person at the cashier was polite and courteous. Unfortunately, all the dishes we ordered were just okay. Nothing too exciting. There was either not enough flavor or not enough food. My dish was burnt, and we all agreed that our meat was dry (both chicken and beef).

Not the best Thai I've ever had but not bad. Definitely more of a take out kind of place. You order at the counter and then get a to-go box whether you plan on eating there or not. Ordered the Pad-Thai and the Special Fried Rice. I thought the Pad Thai was kind of vinegar-y tasting while the rice was dry.

Underspiced, bland food. Messed up our order of pad thai as we said no egg. Also took them an hour to make. Only thing right was the price but not worth it. The tom kha was weirdly sweet and seasoned wrong, yellow curry was watery and flavorless. The stir fried rice was OK.

We ordered See Ew noodles, fried rice and garlic and pepper chicken and was loving it. Until I found a fly in the See Ew that had been cooked with the noodles.

Take your money elsewhere! Plenty of good Thai restaurants in SM with equal or better food but they come with actual kind and courteous service. Walked in at 615, ordered at 620, after waiting 45 minutes I asked how much longer and was told curtly that it would be another 15 minutes or so. The place was empty the whole time and I had already spent 45 minutes studying the intelligible crayon scribbles that cover the walls head to toe. Asked for my money back and left (which took another 6 minutes). You can order takeout if you want but I highly recommend trying another place.

If you want authentic Thai food this place is not for you. I ordered Tom Yum Gai and it was sweet and not tart or spicy at all. Didn’t taste anything like Tom Yum Gai I had in Thailand or anywhere in California. IF I ORDER TOM YUM GAI I WANT IT SPICE NOT SWEET.

I ordered Garlic & Pepper Beef. It is not very Thai, but still. Half of the beef was burnt, some didn't even taste like beef. Very few pieces were good. It tasted sweet, and there was absolutely NO garlic, and NO pepper. It is literally in the name, but they don't even have it in this dish. The food tasted nothing like Thai food. I'm pretty sure the gravy was oyster sauce. I would never go to this restaurant again. The Tom Yum Gai used Oyster sauce which over powered the whole dish the dish calls for fish sauce which is light. Inedible.
