Review Real Thai Kitchen - Santa Cruz

Matt Orbach
Solid Thai food in midtown Santa Cruz. Good spicy noodles (#67, aka Pad Kee Mao) and larb. I just wish they served larger lettuce leaves so I could actually eat the larb as a wrap. Definitely worth giving Real Thai Kitchen a try if you're in the area, though.

One of those friendly, slightly disorganized places that fit right into a neighborhood like a key fits right into a lock. You know, that place that sits right in the middle of those two or three go-to places that you hit every time it’s been a long day and you can’t face the kitchen. They know your name, they know what you order, they know what your level of spice is. If you say kob khun krab as you leave (if you’re a guy), they remember you for life. I had a perfectly respectable Tom Kha with noodles that had plenty of chicken, good noodle lift, and filled me to the brim. When I ordered regular iced tea, they brought not only a good sized glass, but a carafe for refill as well. Now… I suppose that saves them extra work, but I think it’s a stellar idea. If you’re looking for high end Thai that pushes the envelope and makes you want to swoon, this is not that. It’s just good, solid, friendly, neighborhood Thai. The kind of place that puts down roots, sends their kids to college and becomes part of your lives. When the yuppie, hip joints have moved on, this place will still be here slinging noodles and Thai iced tea. And I’ll bet the locals are as loyal as dogs that get to sleep on the bed. Kob khun krab!!!

Decent Thai food in Santa Cruz. The basil duck was flavourful and the (added) shrimp in our papaya salad was sou vided just right.

Very courteous staff and delicious food! Not busy on a Saturday afternoon. The Thai tea is excellent!

I am a tourist from Northern California. This was one of the worst experiences ever . The food looked great and presentable, however the taste was a zero . I ordered a take out for a beef noodle soup, spicy beef stir fry and a bbq pork ribs. It all cost $52 including tips. There was no condiments , nor Utensils. There was no taste and no flavor and nothing call home. Not “real” Thai food without flavors. This restaurant doesn’t deserve a 4.2 review but a 3 star . And they need to update their hours online.

I like this place! I order takeout from here at least once a month. The service is friendly and the food is pretty good. The silver noodle soup is full of flavor & it is similar to pho if you’re looking for good soup in Santa Cruz. I also enjoy the fresh spring rolls and the tangerine tofu.

My favorite Thai restaurant in Santa Cruz. The food is consistently great, prices are reasonable, and staff is friendly. My family's favorites to order are the green curry, panang curry, padthai, and mango sticky rice. Eating in or taking out is a breeze!

I got Pad Thai and Pas See Ew. Both are tied for the most bland thai noodle dishes I've had in as long as I can remember. I ordered the Pad See Ew "thai hot" and it has no semblance of spice whatsoever. The noodles were good in respect to both dishes; however the flavor and spice was lacking and downright disappointing.
