Thai-rrific

Jakaria Ahmed

"We had a delightful dining experience with very flavorful Thai dishes that weren't overly sweet, which I truly enjoyed. Our favorites were the Vegetable Pad Kee Mao, Chicken Yellow Coconut Curry, Fried Spring Rolls, and Jasmine Rice. The portion size was ample for the two of us, and the pricing was fair for the area. Our server, who managed the service solo, provided excellent service to every customer. If given the opportunity, we would definitely return. Our dinner was thoroughly enjoyable."

Me and my roommate were looking for a Thai place to eat and we came across Thai-rrific. It was super close and looked a little too good to be true. When I tell you, the food was so good. It was unbelievably reasonably priced, a Thai iced tea for 3$??? Garlic noodles for 12?? We were so excited at the prospect of well priced food in San Luis Obispo. Considering we are broke college students. We got our orders taken (by a lovely lady as well she was super nice), and patiently waited. We did not wait long for our lovely dishes to come out, the smell was enticing as all hell and the second I took a bite. Something came over me. I have these pictures that are 11 minutes apart from each other and when I tell you I licked the plate clean was not a joke. It was so good, you can tell that the food was made with so much skill and practice and first hand experience. I think I had an out of body experience with my garlic noodles, I swore I came out of that restaurant a different person filled with happiness and a full belly. If you see this review, I am sitting in my car with a smile on my face knowing how GOOD this restaurant is.

I had a great meal at Thai-rrific with friends on our way to LA. Khao Soi, Fried Rice, and Thai Tea were very nice. They made me thinking of Thailand. Definitely coming back if we drive by again! 🤤

While searching for a place to gave dinner, we came across this one. Thai food is ranked #3 in our list if favorites. The place was empty and we got service quickly. Everything was delicious, we ordered calamari appetizer, Tom Yum soup, steam rice and chicken fried rice Portions were generous and fed the party of 3 😁 Thai iced tea and Singha 🍺

The food here has never disappointed me. I love the garlic noodles. I have had them with chicken and tofu. Both were great. The avocado cream cheese puffs are so good! I have to come here every time I am in SLO. My whole family loves this place and we always leave full and happy! 😊

Collin Parker

Absolutely delicious and reasonable dining- especially for SLO! We were seated immediately and ordered an appetizer of Crispy Wontons. They were fresh, and the sweet and sour dipping sauce had a little spicy kick to it, which I really liked. We had the Chicken Pad Thai and Glass Noodle soup. Both were delicious and filling. Note on the Pad Thai- they have 5 spice levels. I got level 2, and my nose was running, but the flavor was still amazing. I'll do a level 1 next time. Would 100% recommend!

Brett Werner

Wow! Lunch specials DO still exist! $18 out the door including tax and tip for a delicious Chicken Pad Thai, Spring Roll and Thai Iced Tea. 10/10 would recommend!

This place is amazing! I love Thai food and have eaten at many different places over the years and Thai-rriffic is one of the best! I moved to this area about six months ago and Thai-rriffic is just down the street. I have been wanting to go since the first time I saw their restaurant. I finally ordered takeout last night and I am so upset with myself for not going there sooner. I got the Pahd Thai with tofu because it is my fave Thai dish so I judge all Thai restaurants by how they make it. If they can't make Pad Thai right, then I don't go back. The Pad Thai sauce was flavored differently than what I'm used to but it was absolutely amazing! And even though the food was in a paper box they had still taken the time to garnish it beautifully. I also got their Sweet Potato appetizer. Oh my! What a treat for the taste buds! This dish is sweet potato slices dipped in coconut and sesame batter and fried. The batter was light and airy and was fried to perfection. Each piece was golden brown and the sweet potato slice inside was perfectly tender. They are served with what they call a pickled chili-cucumber-peanut relish. The relish is more of a clear thin tangy sauce with small pieces of cucumber, finely chopped peanuts, and a small spoonful of chili sauce layered on top so you can mix according to taste. My tastebuds came alive with the first taste of this delightful sauce. It is one of the most delicious things I have ever tasted. The spice and tang of the relish pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the sweet potatoes. I cannot recommend this appetizer enough. Though I must warn you that you will grieve when the last piece is gone. If you eat at Thai-rriffic without ordering the sweet potatoes, you have truly done yourself a disservice. In addition to some of the best Thai food I have ever had the pleasure of consuming, I will return to Thai-rriffic for the service and atmosphere. The gentleman who took my order was very friendly and helpful. He said my order would be ready in fifteen minutes but it was much quicker than that. Their dining area is quaint and cozy and would make a lovely place to enjoy a long leisurely meal and conversation with your favorite dinner dates.

Amazing food and service. Had their sauted vegetables with egg and brown rice this time. Tasted great !!

I've been getting my Haircut from (josh) Chop Shop for over 5 years Alway a great cut and great Atmosphere Reasonable price would highly recommend him for a haircut.

Excellent place! The food is great and has very Large portions. The staff is very friendly.

I travel almost every week around the country and this is one of the best places I have ever eaten

Holy sweet potatoes. And lemongrass chicken. And everything! This is an excellent, authentic Thai restaurant.

Delicious food and friendly staff. Best Thai food i have ever had!

I love the food. The atmosphere is nice and cozy. Friendly staff. I go when I can.

Great place to eat thai food, servers are super responsive and food is always excellent, highly recommend.

I love Thai-rriffic's food! Reasonable dinner prices and great lunch specials.

I used to go here very frequently when I was attending college. Very good food for the price, and extraordinarily friendly staff :)

Another one of SLO's great Thai places. Their pad-thai is good, but I definitely recommend one of the curry dishes.

Had the yellow curry and vegetable fried rice. Amazing! Would highly recommend

Was empty on a Friday night.. Was a little skeptical but the food was great.. We ordered the veggie rolls and veggie fried rice (spiciness 4/5) and it tested great.. Customer service was great

My favorite Thai restaurant in the world. Make sure to try their specials (like sesame ginger beef, red curried snapper, lemongrass chicken etc) rather just the Thai restaurant standards

Our go-to Thai restaurant for lunch! Great service and yummy! Can't forget the Thai Iced Tea!

I love this Thai restaurant. Their green curry is delicious and the eggplant in it is prepared perfectly. You can't go wrong.

The best Thai place in SLO! After living in LA for a few years, this is the only place I trust to have a good panang curry.

The food is tasty and unlike most restaurants, it's actually quiet inside. Also you HAVE to try the garlic noodles!!! I go there just for them!

Amazing service. We had the gluten free pad thai and it was very flavorful and the texture was perfect. Highly recommend.

Best deal on Tai food in SLO. My wife and I have date night here every other month or so and are always pleased with the service and yummy tai entree selections.

Great consistent Thai food. Good lunch specials as well. I live the prik king with ground chicken.

The food was so good, we ordered: Pad thai, spicy sausage fried rice and pork curry.

You have to come here for lunch especially. Sambal chicken over rice leaves you full yet hungry. Siracha Chicken another must have. Great value and atmosphere.

Absolutely wonderful Thai food. Try the delicious Wonton soup and the sticky mango rice for the dessert

Great food, they are locally owned and can use our support. If you are looking for some great food at a fair price this is a great place.

If you want Thai food that is a gift from the heavens, please always go to Thai-riffic. It's amazing and the staff is so incredible.

Omg The food here is AMAZING 👏🏾 Decent prices well Worth it as everyone meal ordered was scrumptious 😋

Excellent green curry. The lemon chicken is fantastic for those who aren't looking for spicy food.

Delicious food, we have been coming here for years and have never been disappointed. Great service and prices are reasonable.

We have been going to Thairific for almost 20 years. They have wonderful lunch specials at good prices. On the dinner menu the lemon grass chicken is amazing! I also love the garlic noodles with pork. If you want something sweet for dessert, try the coconut sticky rice with mango. Lunch is usually busier than dinner. No matter when you go the Thai tea is wonderful.

Very good Thai food 👌. Ordered sesame ginger ribs with steamed rice for $8.95 lunch special. Husband ordered the BBQ coconut chicken steamed rice $7.95 lunch special. Also ordered an order of pad Thai to share. The ribs where short rib style and so juicy nice and crispy on edges. Such a deal for the cut off beef and amount you are served. BBQ thai coconut chicken was devoured by my husband. The pad Thai is also good we always order this menu item when we go to Thai. I love the quaint feel of the restaurant itself and the food and service is impeccable.

This place is great! If you're eating in or taking it to go. My experience with both have always been pleasant. The service is great and the food is amazing! Stop by and I bet it'll be on your list!

This place is absolutely, hands down, the best Thai place in Slo. My husband and I have been coming here for over 11 years. We had one of our first dates here, and now we are married and bring our kiddo. The food is AMAZING and the service is next level. They treat us like family when we come in and I haven't seen that in any other Thai place in the area. The Kai Ka Pow is my FAVORITE!!

"I think they did pretty damn well"- my dining partner. I always get phad thai at thai restaurants but ever since i tried the phad bah mee here i get that every time. Its amazing. Our Fresh Rolls were very good and the sauces that came with were great! The lemon grass barbecue chicken was pretty good! The chicken was chewy but the sauce was delectable! I cant even begin to describe the flavor it was so interesting and tasty. Ive come here many times and i dont plan on stopping.

Pumpkin curry—- so dang delicious

The food is delicious! Small menu, but the best Thai food I've have in a long time. This will definitely be our San Luis Obispo to-go restaurant.

Thairriffic offers great food at great value. Their lunch menu includes a nice variety of noodle choices at very affordable prices. The staff is also friendly and attentive.

Yum! I love Thai food and Thai-triffic was delicious. Bright and fresh flavors and not oily and heavy. Our server was great as well. I’ll be back!

This place has never disappointed my family. I come from LA, visiting on n off. I made it a Mandatory stop before heading home. They are attentive and welcoming. They ate authentic and bring people together with their food. If u haven't yet, u need to get in there ASAP

What a lovely gem. Service staff was genuinely friendly and attentive. Beverage refills on point, fresh and flavorful food! Try the curries! We were given a free Thai tea!

We finally got to go after 3 years. They are closed on Sundays, days we traveled through. Then the pandemic happened, and finally last week Monday we got there after 4pm and the food was just as great as in our memories. A must to go of in the area and if not on a Sunday 😀

Best Thai food in SLO! Service is outstanding and has an incredible lunch menu with affordable prices. Never have had a bad meal here.

Love the atmosphere. It's cozy and comfortable. It's my favorite restaurant in SLO for when I'm feeling tired and want something peaceful and yummy.

This is an old favorite of ours, we have been eating here for over 20 years, the food is always good, nice and spicy if you like it. Good Thai Food.

This restaurant nails everything. Price, speed, quality. I ordered the beef pad Thai lunch special, my goodness. What a wonderful meal, I will reccomend everyone I know to this place from now on. I will be back many many times!

Love coming to this place every other week, the menu although somewhat large is very amazing, from curries to pastas, everything comes with great flavor! Nice quiet atmosphere

Just recently discovered this place in SLO! By far, the best thai food in SLO. Thai restaurants tend to be hit or miss in California but this place is up there with some of the great Thai restaurants that I've been to in bigger cities and the Bay Area. The atmosphere is very nice and the service is great! Highly reccommend!

Had a great dinner here while traveling. Nice atmosphere, reasonable prices for tasty food, and the staff were very kind (and got a kick out of my husband's excessive penchant for spicy food). Would definitely eat here again.

Oh mon dieu! Dude this place is so fire, the first bite brought me face to face with our heavenly father and he said everyone should tip 22%, yes even in this economy, so worth guys. I got the prik king with beef and I ate it all up, yum yum.

The cooking here is the most authentic, straight-off-the-boat Thai food you will ever have in this area. Totally yummy. And "A," the owner, oversees every detail to ensure a memorable culinary experience. Kind-hearted people. Lovely atmosphere. Terrific food!

Amazing Thai food! Loved the Pad Kee Mao, the Garlic Noodles with Shrimp and the appetizers. They really have incredible shrimp… better than any Thai restaurant I’ve ever eaten at.

Huge portions, I can’t wait for leftovers!! And delicious. I got the pumpkin curry and it hit the spot. The thai iced tea was perfect too.

This place is a diamond in the rough!! Ying gave us amazing recommendations that fit our table’s dietary restrictions (some of us eat only fish, some of us can’t eat any spicy food), and everything came out quickly and piping hot. Food was fresh and seriously so good!! The Pad Thai is the best I’ve ever had. I’ll be dreaming of the Tom Kha soup til I have it again. The spring rolls and cream cheese avocado puffs (so flavorful!!) were unbelievable! This place is 10/10!!

Wonderful stop, great food, authentic, delicious food. And the friendliest service around.

Food is very good and fresh. Ordered the cashew chicken lunch special. My friend ordered the yellow curry lunch special. Comes with rice and a spring roll. All very good. Service is friendly, fast, and efficient. Atmosphere is nice. We sat in a booth.

Lowest prices in SLO area!! The dishes we had were the best too. Very authentic. And they are not crowded, so great place to bring a date!! All the meats can be replaced/ substituted with vegetables like tofu, so almost all dishes can be vegetarian. I ask them to fry the tofu as it tastes better fried.

Great atmosphere. Friendly wait staff. Service a tad slow today. Food is good and authentic.

SLO doesn't have a ton of Thai places, but they are all pretty good! Make sure to check out Thai-riffic!

Good little Thai place. Not as spicy as others but good. The garlic pepper sauce was very good but the noodles were a little bland. Service was fast.

Nice little place. Was not very busy for lunch but the food and service were both good. It continues to impress. Very good dinner recently

I was not expecting tasty Thai food after the reviews from others. I was pleasantly surprised by the freshness and tastiness of the offerings. I will go back again.

Had a great dinner with huge portions. It was the least expensive meal I have had since I've been here. Really spicy and delicious

It truly is terrific food! Very tasty and fresh

Love the food but don't understand when u order dinner to go u don't get any salad or other items, just rice with the entree for the same price? All items should be included or charge a lower price.

Asked for “very spicy” after reading some other reviews and our mouths were on fire! Good food though!

Good food, but seems to be on the greasy side of Thai food. I'm sure it depends on what you order. All in all good

One of my favorite Thai places in the county. I get the pat coconut milk soup and veggie curry. Also like the noodle dishes and the pumpkin curry. The only thing is, it is a little too salty for me and some of the wait help speaks poor English so some times our wires get crossed. But great flavors. Fast service. Strongly recommend.

Best lunch deal on the Central Coast -- and I eat at all of them. Yummy food, generous Thai tea. I'd give it five if it were hoity-toity. But if you're good with intimate and low-key, this place is bomb!

Just got Thai here for the first time and my Sambal chicken is amazing! I don't like spicy and ordered spicy.. of course.. I know! They do not have cream cheese wontons but do have mango sticky rice!! Yum! No delivery remember. Husband did not like his Coconut Bbq Chicken or fried rice.

I love Thairriffic... They have all the classic dishes, but also some out of the ordinary items that are really good. Can't go wrong with any curry or noodle dish. They have great lunch specials too.

Great prices and speedy service for orders to go. Decent Thai inspired. I had the Tom Ka Vegetable and Khao Soi to go and they were ok. Willing to try other dishes there but will only have them as dine in.

Small mom and pop shop. Not far off the freeway. Little hard to find. But worth it. Food was good. Thai coffee could've been a bit stronger and sweeter. But would visit again.

4 stars b/c they are smaller portions than the previous owners. The Pad Thai is about 2/3rds the size than with previous owners. But I'm just happy they are still open in SLO! Best Pad Thai.

This surprised me as I'd been told it wasn't as good as it had been. I don't what it used to have been, but it must have been the best Thai in the state. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, and my only regret was that I didn't ask for it to be spicy.

Cozy little place, with delicious food. We had the fresh rolls, and avocado curry. What an interesting twist on curry. Never had it before, will definitely get that dish again if we're in the area. The service was really good inspite of them being short staffed and busy with to go orders.

Simple dining in a very friendly environment. Nice to feel so welcomed and appreciated. Northern Thai food is my favorite, and is rare to see it on Thai menus, yet alone executed well (Kha Soi).

New Rochester Thai restaurant directly across from St Marys Hospital. The Pad Thai with tofu is really good with spiciness as little or much as you prefer. Good to check it out.

I only went here for a thai tea, which was delicious. It's under construction right now but still open. My only issue was that I paid $4.50 for a medium thai tea and it was like 4oz drink and all ice. I then immediately went across the street to slo doco and got a bigger drink, it just wasn't quite as yummy. They do use a good brand though, real tea leaves. Here is the two next to eachother

Not bad. Portions are slightly on the smaller end, but overall not horrible. May go again if I am really hungry.

Decent, but not inspired Thai food. Portions are rather small. Service is pleasant.

Carried out some Pad Thai here late night. Both chicken and shrimp were over cooked and I didn’t feel safe eating them. Willing to give this place another chance though because it receives such good reviews for dine-in.

Food is ok and was not tasting like authentic thai food. We ordered the 4 out of 5 level spicy, but the dishes were not up to par to that level. Don't order the lemongrass chicken dish 🤢

My wife and I live in San Diego and our go to Thai restaurant is finest Thai. We were Visiting San Luis Obispo and saw this restaurant. It's Thai food but no we're done as well as the restaurant we go to in San Diego. I wish I could give it more stars but I really can't

My last trip to Thai-rrific was a little bit of a disappointment after all the years I've been going to this restaurant and knowing the former owner. First thing I noticed was they ripped out all the ivy around the outside the restaurant and they ripped out the the Thailand props they had outside as well. The ivy was iconic for this particular restaurant because it was always there for the past 40 years, so I was completely disappointed that they did something that basically ruined the look of the restaurant. Second thing was the food has changed, the legendary coconut soup with a flame under it they got rid of that which they only serving a bowl now. Third thing is the prices were just outrageously expensive. I was just shocked to see how much they increased their prices, I understand inflation but they just went way overboard on their prices. The fourth thing is there was only two people working there, one server and then a cook in the back that's it. How can a restaurant function with only two employees and they're charging so much for their food? It doesn't make any sense. I really didn't want to leave a negative review on this business because I knew Sam and this is not Sam's restaurant anymore because the new owner apparently has decided to change the rules and I'm not a big fan of what he's done. The food wasn't terrible but I was disappointed that the new owner has decided to change some of the originality of the restaurant that's been known for it. I'm just very sad that they're trying to change something that should never have been changed.

Good service but the quality of the food was below average. There wasn’t much flavor. Feeling like I missed something or slo doesn’t have good Thai food.

New owners changed the menu, took away the best dishes. No sriracha chicken or coconut bbq chicken. New food is mediocre at best.

I really really wanted to like this new Thairrific. I loved the old one. I know it's more expensive but if the food is improved, it's not a problem. The first time I went in I ordered a traditional Thai street food spicy noodle soup. We used to live in LA and I miss the Thai Town version. This was not bad, and I would have given this new owner 4 out of 5 stars just for having it on the menu. But then I went back, hopeful, and ordered a lunch portion of Pad Kra Pow, a stir fry spicy basil dish every Thai restaurant in the Central Coast serves. It's a basic dish that reveals how good a Thai restaurant is at doing the classics. Now I've tried this in almost every other Thai place within 40 min, and I am SO disappointed to report it is awful, like 1 star awful. I feel bad saying this, but it just is. It's watery, bland, with too little meat. I can't remember when I've had a bad version of this dish. Even the unexciting ones I've had were at least tasty. This was so bland and watery I actually felt cheated of my $12 and sorely missing old Thairrific's simple, cheap but always tasty dishes, especially the unique sambal chicken. Maybe their dinner portions are better, I don't know, Yelp reviews aren't reassuring so far. Every lunch special I've eaten at other local Thai places were good barometers of the overall food quality, because why wouldn't they be? It's generally not good business to skimp on teaser items that pull customers in for more expensive dinner meals. There are many Thai restaurants in the area - they're either cheap and good or more expensive but offer higher quality ingredients/more unique items. Thairrific seems to be occupying a precarious perch as fancier Thai dining with unfortunately little attention to food quality and consistency. Thairrific v2 would do well to learn from rock star veterans in their price bracket - Thai Palace in SLO. Always consistently good, always happy to pay more. What a shame, I had high hopes! Since there's nothing on their dinner menu that other Thai places aren't already rocking cheaper and better, I doubt I'll be back much, if at all. I sincerely hope hope they improve their lunch specials.

Place was okay. Coming from a city full of authentic thai cuisine and a diverse community, I can tell this place lacks in authenticity and the food is very basic, to the point of it being white washed thai food. Nothing wrong with that at all but definitely not the place to go for an authentic experience or tasting real thai food.

On the bright side, this is the only Thai restaurant in town with parking and reliable hours. Sadly, that’s about the only upsides. The wait people look more like janitorial staff, and their demeanor has about that much spunk. The food is uninspired, to put it mildly. Disappointing meal, ate almost none of mine.

The food is equelivent to a school lunch because the fried rice it cheap and the ribs were to sweet and are cheap. Btw all the reviews I think are fake

Grilled chicken is very dry. Fried rice is not good

Don’t know about the food because we went to the restaurant on a Sat at 8PM (8/27/22) and were told there’s no dine-in option, only takeout, even though chairs and tables were all set up for customers. The restaurant was empty and it was an hour away from closing time. We had a hungry toddler so this was a really bad experience. To the owners: please answer the phone and please remove the dine-in option if not available on a Sat night.

Had high hopes for this place, as Thai is one of my favorite cuisines, but was disappointed with the lack of flavor. The noodles from the Pad See Ew were just that... ew. Soggy and overly marinated in soy sauce. It's all I could taste. The Prik King was not flavorful but the green beans were cooked perfectly. Only came with two scraggly pieces of chicken though, which is great for a vegetarian dish, but not what I had ordered. Overall, I would say this was not worth the $50 I spent. I'll stick to my usual Thai Boat. Flavorful and reliable.
