Cha Thai Bistro — Restaurant in San Ramon

2 stars to be nice - guy who took my order was nice. But I won't be returning. Not sure about the high stars on goggle. Maybe today wasn't their best day. But again I'm not returning to find out.

Just ordered take out about 30min ago. Not great. Total spent: $40+

Ordered: Thai fried rice (no meat), orange chicken, and 6 fried shrimp.

Thai fried rice: gummy, no flavor. Very bland.

Orange chicken: Just yucko🤮. Not freshly made. Fried chicken tastes like it was precooked from frozen. Sauce was clumpy and only taste like a sweet and sour sauce pack. No other flavors. Veggies (carrots) though sliced thin where big slices (distracting while eating). It comes with white rice and even that taste like yesterday's rice...

Oh and then theres...

The fried shrimp: VERY gummy. The panko like batter was like eating raw dough. Though it was crunchy on the outside it was chewy on the inside and un appetizing. The shrimp was equally as gummy. Ate 1 and won't be eating the other 5.

I think the reviews are paid reviews because anyone with any tastebuds would steer clear away from this place. I hope they re work their dishes.

I won't be back, though. I can grab the same Thai dishes from the frozen section at the Lucky's grocery store across from them. (With better textures/flavor and quality) 🤮 🤮

It's too bad I really wanted to...

Cha Thai restaurant I was actually in the shopping center for a different reason and had already eaten so I didn't get a chance to eat here but if I were to be hungry I would have eaten here first. Cuz I love Thai food and this looks like a great Thai food restaurant that's why I give it five stars without even trying it plus I read some of the other reviews from the people that review places. Are the best people to get your reviews from. And if you like the reviews always give him a thumbs-up that's always at 4. They were very nice they let me in to take some pictures It's A very upscale place if I lived in that area I'm sure this would be one of my...

Tried the Pad Thai a couple days ago - good portion size and balanced seasoning, a good value. Today, I tried the basil eggplant with beef - very tasty, but I’ll order chicken or shrimp next time (beef a bit tough). The green curry with chicken was well-balanced, the perfect comfort food. Note that you can select the level of spiciness for every dish. The order was freshly made and ready every time I ordered through DoorDash. I’ll definitely be back to try other dishes!

7/3/21 Update: best dishes - Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, Drunken Noodles, Eggplant Basil, Green Curry. Not bad - spring roll, banana sweet rice, basil...
