Thai Lovers — Restaurant in San Jose

Used to be a favorite. This was our standby for quite a few years. Always enjoyed the fried pompano, papaya salad and almost any of their grilled items. It was always delicious.

However, they either no longer care about quality or just no longer cared.

From them and their sister store, Golden Chicken, we ordered chicken with papaya salad, grilled pork and grilled steak. The papaya salad was way salty. The grilled pork and chicken was charred to the extent that jerkys would be more tender. Some pieces were blackened to almost as dark as charcoal.

My rice was extra hard. I think the rice was pre-plate and kept under a heat lamp.

Very disappointed. ...

This place is located in a Vietnamese plaza and serves Viet cuisine as well. I think the ladies running the place are Vietnamese as well...at least form the information I gathered during my visit. Sooo....it's a bit confusing. Is this place Thai or Vietnamese? In the end I don't really care. The food is tasty, comes out fast and has Generous Portions! My word...you get two meals for the price one.

I don't usually frequent the area. But I'll make an effort to stop by next time I'm around.

5/5 I have no idea what I ate or ordered. Just pointed at the pic and ordered. Its delicious and hearty...well I attempted to devour the...

Don't have to get a drink cause Thai tea comes with it. It's a self serve on the drinks. Hubby not a fan if Thai food and he really likes it, especially when we eat at restaurant. Usually I bring it home and it's cooler down. He's not a fan then. So if you have time to eat there food is hot and I guess to hubby it tastes better. For me I can eat it hot or slightly warm, great either way. Go try it for yourself, oh while there another customer who lives in So cal said when he is up this way he always makes it a point to stop there and have a meal. So I think that has to say something...
