Thai BBQ & Combo

Finding a good Thai restaurant in the SLO county area has been hard. I moved from Northern California and had to leave behind my favorite Thai restaurant that made the perfect bowl of Tom Yum soup. Well, this place makes it just as well. Not sweet like every other Thai restaurant in the area seems to do. Good Tom Yum is like your grandmother's chicken soup recipe. Once you find a restaurant that can master Tom Yum, that usually means everything else has got to be just as good! Thai BBQ & Combo is my new fav!

Best Thai and Chinese food in Paso, hands down. I lived in NYC and Philly for 10 years and this easily compares to anything I ever had in either city.

Great place to grab a tasty Thai meal. Love their tempura shrimp, best fried shrimp in town. Drunken noodles with chicken is the bomb. Staff is very friendly, very personable.

You can never go wrong eating here. The food is always super yummy. I have tried many dishes and have never been disappointed! Everyone there is so kind, they will even give you ideas of what to try if you give them some direction of what you like. You can call in your order beforehand, which I like to do from work for a suprise family dinner. You can get extra spicy on the side too for that special someone in your household with asbestos tongue/ mouth. I, myself, prefer mild so I can enjoy all the flavors. One more plus they have gluten free food too.😍

Awesome little gem, some of the best yellow curry I've had. Food is always ready quickly, customer service is excellent, as a whole this restaurant is on point. If you're in town visiting or have lived here a while, if you haven't tried it you're missing out.

Ordered delivery after a long day of wine tasting. The Chicken Pad Thai and Tofu Fried Rice were really good in that they were not too greasy but super flavorful. All GF too.

One of my favorite places to eat in the area. The reason being is that everything on their menu is the best version of that dish. I will even order something random I don't normally get and be blown away about how great it is. The owners are really nice people and I can even get a small portion of steamed chicken for my little doggy friend so he can eat lunch with me.

Very tasty Thai food at a reasonable price. We especially enjoyed the red curry chicken and drunken noodles with spice set to hot! Takeout order was ready relatively quickly and easy to pick up. Would happily eat here again

I absolutely love Thai BBQ and Combo! My daughter and I have been coming to this restaurant for years since they offer a wide range of vegan dishes. They recently are under new ownership (they kept the business in the family) and the owner Sam is truly remarkable! He has gone out of his way to remember our names, our orders and is so personable with us. I feel like I am visiting close friends whenever we go in there to eat! Our vegan meals are: Eggplant dish which is full of flavor, green curry which has a nice little kick to it, pad see ew noodles which has a nice rich traditional flavor. The food is incredible but personable staff puts the icy on the cake.

Absolutely amazing! Being from Orange County and living so close to Little Saigon I've been exposed to lots of Asian food. Out of ALL the Thai places I've been this is absolutely in my top 10. 100% delicious! If you live in the area and haven't been here you need to come try and explore your taste buds. You won't be disappointed. If you are just passing through you need to stop. The flavor is top notch and the service is second to none.

Best pho in town! Excellent vegetarian and vegan options but the chicken curry noodles are my absolute favorite! Runners up are the orange chicken and the beef salad! I could try something new every time I came here and it'd all be delicious. Good service but can sometimes get slammed so call ahead!

Nice quiet little hole in the wall. Food was delicious. Service was great. Prices were reasonable. I will definitely come back when traveling through here.

My friend and I got the drunken noodle lunch combo and green curry lunch combo. Curry size was huge for $12, and although my noodle portion was a bit smaller than I expected, it was still very filling. Could have been a lot spicier, but there are chili flakes available and the overall flavor was good. Delicious stop on our drive up north! The owner was friendly and seemed to know her customers well, she brought a lot of cheer to the restaurant and the atmosphere.

I had no idea this place has new owners! There food is amazing. Chicken yellow curry was amazing. The way I had them in Thailand 3 months ago. Pad Thai was the right color and taste. I need to go back to their pho.

Loved the food! Very clean! Great service!! Will definitely be my place for good food when in this area!!

Eating area is small, but the upon waking in, the settings of thai food was delicious. Cashier was friendly and recommended everything. I ordered the garden miss with a side of eggrolls. If i would have known there was so much food in the garden mix plate, i would not have ordered the eggrolls. The selection came with garlic chicken, chicken curry, a salad, a double portion of white rice, and gyoza. All very delicious. I saved the city for the next day, but that's because i couldn't eat anymore. Trust me it was so good. By far the most inexpensive and best tasting restaurant I've visited so far in the area.

Great Pho’ ! Would definitely return!

This seems to be an all-around Asian food because they have Chinese food as well. I ordered the giant mix combo and it was pretty delicious. This is a hole in the wall so don't expect a lot of room for you to sit with a large group of people.

Love this place. Great family of people really do a great job running the restaurant and helping customers. 👌

Best pho in the valley. Great portions, tasty food, tons of great options. And the owners are friendly and welcoming. Sam remembers and welcomes every customer by name.

We've eaten here several times. The curries and pad thai are delicious! You should try the pumpkin curry, which they have year round. They even have gluten free options for those of us that can't eat wheat. Just FYI, they have limited seating, so keep that in mind (it's more of a takeout spot). Great food, great price, and great service! We'll be back...(mic drop)

Best place to be any day. Best pho around. Perfect portions, plenty of protein. Good day, bad day, always my go-to! Sam is bound to make you feel comfortable and invited. Remembers everyone's name and welcomes you personally each time!

This hidden gem in Paso Robles has quickly become my absolute favorite spot for authentic Thai food. The owners pour their hearts into everything they do, making each visit feel like coming home. From the warm greeting to the attentive service, Sam treats guests like family, creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at ease. You can sense their passion for traditional Thai cuisine in every dish—they stay true to the flavors and techniques that make Thai food extraordinary, transporting you straight to the bustling streets of Bangkok. I’ve tried many Thai spots that attempt to "elevate" the experience, but the authenticity here is a breath of fresh air, capturing the vibrant street-food essence of Thailand without the unnecessary frills. The menu offers a fantastic variety, with flavors that are bold, balanced, and deeply satisfying. And while the Thai offerings are exceptional, they even have a Vietnamese favorite: Pho. It’s a dish I can’t resist ordering half the time, thanks to its rich broth and fresh ingredients that rival any dedicated Vietnamese restaurant. The service is quick and efficient, and I appreciate the order-at-the-counter style, which keeps things casual and adds to the easy-going vibe. If I’m short on time, I simply call in my order, and it’s always hot and ready by the time I arrive. For anyone who loves the convenience of delivery, they’ve even partnered with GrubHub, bringing this incredible food straight to your door. Though the dining space is limited, there’s a cozy charm about it that makes the experience feel even more authentic—like a true street-side eatery. I’m hopeful they’ll expand soon because they deserve a larger space to share these amazing flavors with even more people. If you're craving genuine Thai food with no pretenses and all the comfort of a home-cooked meal, this is the place. For me, it’s the closest I’ve come to reliving the unforgettable street food of Thailand, right here in Paso Robles.

My favorite pho place in slo county! The service is friendly, the pho is perfect everytime, and you cannot beat the price. I crave Thai BBQ & Combo and am so glad they are here in Paso Robles. You cant beat it. Highly recommend the beef pho!!

First time here. Had the Yellow Curry Noodle Soup with Chicken. Amazing! I watched the staff treat everyone that came in like family; like Cheers on TV. Will be back.

Omg, the yellow curry was OUTSTANDING!!! Yum! Thank you! I was really craving this and you guys hit it outta the park! Spring rolls were fresh and the p-nut sauce... i could eat that all day! Yummy!!! Great food! Great lunch special, wish I lived here, I could eat this every day!

This place is awesome. The food is great. The smells from the kitchen made me so hungry.

The food was great. I had a combo with red curry and ginger chicken. Loved it. My only issue is 2 out of the 3 times I have come they have been closed when they said they would be open. It's been 4:50 or 4:55 and the closed sign is up and the sign with hours says they are supposed to be open

Great staff that are friendly and go out of their way to satisfy customers. The chicken green curry I ordered was very tasty and served very hot. I definitely recommend this restaurant for your casual dining pleasure.

Excellent service, good food, prepared fast, prices were reasonable, large portions, adequate parking.

This small thai restaurant has recently been added to my favorite restaurants. It is my second time here. The first time I ordered of the lunch specials , the yellow curry with chicken which came with rice , salad and some wonton crackers. This time around I went for the green curry with Chicken and it was equally delicious. The prices are reasonable, and portions are adequate. The owner is friendly and hospitable. They get 4.6 stars from me and I'd definitely come back and highly recommend them if your taste buds are salivating for asian or Thai food as this joint is sure to satisfy them.

The food is delicious. I have been going here for a few years now and have ordered the pad Thai, fried rice with chicken,egg rolls, crispy orange chicken and Thai tea with boba. I have tried other items but can’t remember what they are. I normally order one or more of the above mentioned items and it has been very good every time. The 4 stars is because a couple items do seem different now then when I first started going which is a little disappointing that it changed because I liked it the way it was but they are still good,and some items seem a little pricey for what you get.

Good food but it’s just not quite the “Thai” food. Could be a hybrid Chineese/Thai. But it is OK. Small very casual spot with three tables and a counter. Mostly Take-Out.

We come from LA. Decided I wanted to give this a shot. We ordered Pho with beef, Egg Rolls, Steamed Veggies, Chicken Fried Rice and a small Thai Tea. Egg Rolls were good with the sweet and sour sauce. The Thai Tea was a tad bitter but I really enjoyed it. Pho with Beef was missing salt, in my opinion. It was ok. Chicken fried rice is greasy with huge chunks of tomatoes and onions. I wouldn’t eat pho from here but anything else I would.

This place is a hit or miss when it comes to food. Sometimes the food is really good and other times it is just okay. The drunken noodles the first time I had them were so good, a very memorable dish. As was the Chili Basil, which was so good and super flavorful. Then I go back thinking I found another good Thai restaurant, but I was wrong. This time it wasn't that good at all. The great expectations quickly plummeted with the first bite. I got the Mongolian Beef, and it was so salty, that I felt like I needed to go on dialysis afterwards. The drunken noodles this time around had no flavor whatsoever. It is like they didn't care that day when making food, which is sad.

Pho menu price reflects soup with no protein (tofu is free). I've never seen this and the sticker shock was annoying. Maybe a personal problem, but worth noting. Soup came out luke warm so they microwaved it for me.... Not exactly what I was looking for, and it still wasn't hot enough! Kids working were nice but need training if they want locals coming back.

Heard a lot of good things about this place but was kinda disappointed. Got the crispy orange chicken for lunch. It tasted kinda bland. Panda Express has more flavorful orange chicken if I’m being honest. To top it off found a long black hair in my food. Staff seemed nice though. Might give them another chance.

Okay, I have been coming to this place for a long time. I have always like the food here. It is pretty consistent. Today, I came by the restaurant and I noticed one of the cooks ( a guy) blowing his nose on one of the small kitchen sink!! He had gloves on and totally went back to cooking my noodles. He did not wash his hand nor did he change gloves. I’m really disappointed and disgusted right now.

After a year of living here in Paso Robles I was a loyal customer. Never had a problem, food was always good. After tonight I will never come back. I don't know if owners changed, or the cooks did or what but my order was way way wrong, my pho was so spicy I couldn't eat it. Granted they fixed that, however nothing tasted remotely Good, zero flavor, zero appeal just bland gross cooked things with out Texure or flavor. Thank God I had the thia ice tea to clean my mouth out. Sincerely a former loyal customer.

Greasy, flavorless, and overcooked. If you count rancid oil as a flavor, then it had flavor. Too many negatives to count, but for instance the pad thai was literally a glob of congealed rice vermicelli with no egg, no peanuts, no bean sprouts, no aromatics except for rancid vegetable oil. Meat was overcooked and flavorless, and basically unidentifiable. Fried rice was a grease pit with stinky shrimp, which I believe made me nauseous. I can go on. Too bad this place sucks now. In the past it was decent. Last few times, it's terrible.
