Thai Heart

Narek Dshkhunyan

Certainly didn't expect to find a Thai restaurant in Scotts Valley, yet so glad we did! Every dish in this restaurant is seriously delicious and reasonably priced. Warm and attentive service from the owner was the cherry on top.

Best Thai food that you'll find in Santa Cruz county. I haven't tried a lot of items, but pad kee mao (drunken noodles) and the Thai sausage are pretty good.

One of the best restaurant experiences I’ve ever had period. Great food and caring staff. Quiet and intimate

10000/5 stars! We drive from San Francisco just to eat here. This place truly puts the "heart" in Thai Heart. You get both quality AND quantity for an outrageously affordable price. We've been going here for years and we always look forward to it. The owners are the sweetest, most generous and hardworking people. You could close your eyes and point to the menu, and you'd love whatever ended up on the table. Always fast, always fresh, with a home-cooked feel. We're never more sad to have limited stomach capacity than when we come here. Some of our favorites: - Spicy Fried Rice - Fresh rolls - Panang curry - Pad ka prow

The best Thai restaurant in the Bay Area is a cozy mom and pop establishment that exudes heart and soul in every dish. Our experience there was absolutely fantastic. It all started when my daughter recommended this place after our visit to Santa Cruz Boardwalk. It was already 9:10 pm, so we decided to give them a call and inquire about their operating hours. To our delight, the owner answered and kindly informed us that although they close at 9:30 pm, they would be more than happy to take our order over the phone and have it prepared by the time we arrived. He emphasized that there was no need to rush and advised us to drive safely. Arriving at the restaurant at 9:35 pm, we were pleasantly surprised to find our food already served on the table. Considering how hungry and tired we were, it felt like pure heaven! The flavors of the dishes were absolutely delightful, and the portion sizes were generous. Furthermore, the prices were reasonable, parking was plentiful, and most importantly, the owners were incredibly caring and welcoming. They encouraged us to take our time and enjoy our meal to the fullest. In summary, the food was beyond amazing, the portion sizes were just right, the prices were fair, there was ample parking, and the owners went above and beyond to make us feel cherished and satisfied

Do not skip this place! The food is insanely good. I was dreaming about that cashew chicken days after I had it. The food is always fresh and full of flavor. Really, it's some of the best Thai food I've ever had. The reviews aren't lying when they say it's THAT good. The food is priced so fairly and the portions are huge. Each dish could be shared with 2 people. Outside of the food, the owners are the best part of eating here. A husband and wife who are so kind, positive, and fun! It feels like I'm going to my uncles house for dinner when eating here - in the best way possible! There's a very warm, cozy, family vibe when you eat here. The place is situated in a cute little courtyard and the restaurant is always very clean! If you haven't tried this place, I couldn't reccomend it more to you!

Just had the best pad Thai of my life. Have been here a few times and it’s always great but this time was exceptional. Thanks Richie and Sarah!!!

Have eaten here several times. Food is fresh and delicious. Our favorites: fresh spring rolls, eggplant with tofu (so colorful!), and pineapple fried rice. Wine servings are generous. Staff are friendly and helpful. We have eaten there around 5:30 and love that it is quiet! You can have a conversation without background noise or piped in music interfering. Portions are generous. Always some to take home.

The kindest owners and chefs ever, used to go here as a freshman in college and shared stories with the eager owners. They'd create such a welcoming space and on-the-house freebies like desserts. Its such an underrated gem, hole in the wall spot. Please support local families! They'll feed you not only amazing food, but love too.

Came here for a quick bite with my family. Food was amazing with large portion sizes. This is truly homemade and authentic Thai food run by a husband & wife. One of the best Thai food in the Bay!

My friend and I were so stoked to stumble across this place. It is a true diamond in an unassuming place. The food was authentic and so delicious. We ordered the papaya salad, pad see ew and yellow curry. They were all amazing. We spent a little time talking to the owners who were delightful! If you want an authentic Thai meal with lovely service then you must visit!

Great food, and extremely friendly owners. We had the BBQ chicken starter, green curry with chicken and the cashew stir fry. We will definitely be back.

The most amazing Thai food ! I live in San Francisco and so it’s quite a hike to drive over this side. However any opportunity to eat at this cozy family run Thai joint is not to be missed. If you are looking for good Thai in the area, you HAVE to come here. You ll be glad you did !

Best Thai food in Scotts Valley, no doubt. Such a lovely couple working hard to make SV happy. Just the 2 of them working so be patient and kind. The curries are excellent as well as the papaya salad, rice and noodle dishes. They can make the food crazy hot if you wish. The wife is a fantastic chef and her husband, Richie is the nicest guy. Enjoy this gem.

This place is interesting. It looks a little neglected and messy, but the staff is friendly, and the food delicious. The decorations are pretty and eclectic. We had Pad Thai & Panang Salmon with rice and we had sooo much food for 2 people. One dish would have been enough.

I would highly recommend this small restaurant. The two people who run it work very hard to deliver great food. We're 50/50 on ordering for dine in vs. take out. It's interesting inside and most of the time very clean, but not "upscale". The food here is solid, I would recommend the leek cakes if "fried onion dumplings" sound good to you. They're delicious! There has only ever been one gentleman with short black hair who has served us, and he always has the most positive vibes. It seems like they only have one server on at a time, so keep in mind the limits of a single human if it's busy inside. If ordering takeout, the food will typically take 25 minutes to cook, and comes out hot and fresh. They pack their to-go food very mindfully, making sure to keep enough stuff separated that it can make a 10 min drive. Overall a great local spot for some local Thai food that is run by wonderful people 👍

Food is fine. But it's not authentic Thai. Maybe it's been Americanized too much. It's a good quantity, it tastes fine, but not "authentic". If you're looking for an American-Thai fusion. It's good. If you're looking for a true Thai, I'd find somewhere else.

Wanted to like this restaurant after seeing the reviews but when I bit into my Pad See Ew takeout, I tasted mold. We weren’t given a receipt so when I called asking for a refund they said they couldn’t do that and could only offer to remake the dish- why would I want a dish from a place that gave me moldy food? As someone who’s worked in food service management for years, I find this offer unacceptable and troubling that they aren’t the least bit concerned about sending out moldy food.
