Coconut Bay Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in Burlingame

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! My wife and I ate at this restaurant last week and unfortunately we had this waiter who treated us with the upmost disrespect. I asked for another set of utensils because mine had fallen on the floor and when I raised my hand our waiter acknowledge me but never came back with another set. I finally had to ask another waitress for a set and thank goodness she actually acknowledged my request and helped me. In addition, to this waiter not helping us in a timely manner, when our food came out, it was cold, as if it was just left out purposely. This waiter rolled his eyes multiple times and it looked like he was high on drugs. I'm not sure what kind of restaurant this is but clearly not a very good one if they hire anyone. This waiter deserves to be fired or at least re-evaluated before he ever engages with customers again. The amount of unprofessionalism and disrespect that I received is unfortunate. The food was alright but I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

The best Thai food we've had in Burlingame or San Mateo - so a good, local, solid restaurant (wish I could give them a 4.5 but between 4 and 5, I'd pick 5). The food is quite tasty - been going here for over 10 years. Really like the drunken noodles, the sea bass, and the eggplant and tofu. Our family has had the skewers and they really like them as well. Again, better food in SF but that's a long way to go and the food here is more than respectable - we tend to do 80% takeout since we live nearby - the food is better than the ambience inside the restaurant but the restaurant is good was well. Update 5/13/25: their takeout has gotten increasingly unreliable - twice now I’ve been told 25 minutes for food to be ready only to wait more than 45 min. Today it was at first 25 min, then 30 min and so far I’m waiting 50 min and still no food. Don’t believe their estimated timing - they are not accurate - recently mine have been way underestimated and I wait and wait and wait. Once it was ready very early so by the time I got home the...

Went there for a late lunch as we were a bit busy that day. Most restaurant already closed and wouldn’t open until 5pm.

The restaurant was bigger than we thought when looking from the outside. The decorations were pretty and the seatings for each table were spacious. The staff were friendly and attentive.

It was our first time having coconut rice. We only had coconut sticky rice before. Well, nevertheless, it tasted just like coconut sticky rice, minus the sticky part.

We ordered their Fresh garden rolls, Legendary pad thai and Wonton soup. The fresh rolls were good, but the sauce was a bit plain compared to other Thai restaurants. Pad thai was delicious, as well as Wonton soup. The wontons were very tasty, but having them with spinach instead of bok choy kinda put me off.

Overall, this place was more of a Thai fusion restaurant rather than an authentic one, but their food was good regardless. The price could be on the expensive side compared to other...
