Karakade Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Redwood City

2020 has been hard for many, and restaurants have had to adapt a lot to stay in business. Katakana Thai closed the doors to put up a table out front and satanized all there pins to the point most don’t even work anymore. Do you not carry you own pin yet!

My GF and I live a 10 minute walk away and found out about this gem shortly after lockdown. It’s become a weekly go to for takeout now for about a year! What happened to two weeks! So far everything I’ve tried is amazing. But my go too favorites are pineapple fried rice, and yellow curry, and my GF loves the flavorful pad see ew. They have great Thai tea, but if you’re thrifty and have an addition buy a bunch of Thai tea leaves on Amazon and make your own, just add Heavy cream.

Beside the friendly respectful staff and amazing Thai food, I’m happy to say this is our new go to take out when we both are cooked form zoom meeting and just want tasty clean conform food. Beside some rude DoorDash drivers during pickup we have alway felt they take Greta care during this catastrophe of a pandemic. I’m happy to this is the best Thai in Redwood City. I look forward to one day eating inside; but honestly takes perfect during this crazy year. Thanks for Making great food and keeping your customers...

God, I guess now I'll to have to find something else to put my pencils in at work. Anyway, the plastic flowers and barely scratched tabletops exposing the fakeness of the dark wood weren't cutting it. They made a quick buck off me, so I guess you can say the experience was authentic. If I come back it'll be just once, to donate a red pail I don't want to see again, and I might try a...

Honestly, skip this place and get Sweet Basil Thai instead. This simply isn't worth your time.

Yellow chicken curry: Just tasted like sugar. Way too sweet. Poorly seasoned, which is a theme. Also excessively oily.

Pad See Ew: Bland. Literally no flavor, it was poorly seasoned. Every bite I was expecting more flavor and got nothing. The noodles, broccoli, veggies, everything was just flavorless.

Crispy Rolls: The best of the lot, in that the sauce was good. Otherwise lacking in flavor/seasoning.

Mango Sticky Rice: The rice was overcooked, making it tough and difficult to chew. The texture was unpleasant and the flavor was overly sweet. The mango was still enjoyable.

Thai Tea: It was fine, though again, on the overly sweet side, even for Thai Tea which is...
