Food: we’ve tried this place multiple times before and after they update the menu. Their tom yum fried rice amazed us for sure; definitely our favorite of all.
Service: they get very busy so it’s always better to get on the waitlist earlier. Their price is definitely more up there compared to other Thai restaurants in Bay Area.
Ambiance: vibey and cozy. Small party are more suitable.

Must be Thai offers more of a street food style cuisine and food was decent. The Crispy Fried Calamari with cuttlefish was especially delicious: crispy, tender, full of flavor, and not oily. The Tom Yum soup was spicy and flavorful, though a bit light on ingredients. I also enjoyed the assorted meatball appetizer with sweet chili sauce, and the fried rice was well-seasoned, although the texture was mushy — possibly a one-off issue with the rice cooker that day.
Unfortunately, the dining environment was a major letdown. There were flies everywhere — even inside my drinking cup — and the table was sticky. The utensils wasn’t clean either. While the food is good, the lack of cleanliness makes it hard to fully enjoy the experience. If that doesn’t bother you, the food is worth a try.

First time at Must Be Thai in San Jose and it was buzzing on New Year’s lunch. Food’s made-to-order with customizable spice levels and ingredients. We tried Pad Thai, Pad Ki Mao, and Green Curry – the eggplants in the curry were a unique touch. Green curry was a bit underwhelming though – missed bamboo shoots and Thai basil flavor. Limited portions, but worth a try. Avg experience, might revisit for the vibe and customization options.

It wasn’t the best Thai food I’ve had, but it was delicious.
I was expecting spice from all the dishes, but received little to no spiciness.
The pork rice did not have enough garlic and basil. It just tasted like ground pork rice.
The calamari was the best dish here, interesting shape, sufficient crunch, and tender.

When we came on Saturday lunch time , it was fully house and we even had to wait for a table. I was looking forward to it because I saw so many people waiting.
But to be honest, I’m a little disappointed. The food was too salty, and because it was too salty, I cannot tell the food is delicious.
Thai restaurants are everywhere, and it’s almost impossible to eat bad Thai food !
Papaya salad : $14.19
A little bit sour and fish sauce too heavy
Pad see you w / beef : average $19.75
Crispy calamari: great , light crispy $ 15.55
Pork belly : $26 but too salty
Service is friendly !

This will be our 2nd time dining at Must Be Thai— overall a solid, family‑friendly meal.
The Tom Yum soup was the standout, it was very delicious! It was savory, and aromatic — a perfect starter. The Pad Prik Moo Krob delivered great texture with crispy pork and a spicy‑tangy sauce. The non‑spicy Pad Thai with chicken was mild and comforting: noodles were tender, sauce lightly sweet, and the chicken was cooked through — great if you want no heat.
Service was friendly and the place felt casual and relaxed.
Would recommend for anyone craving reliable Thai classics.

I ordered Khao Moo Daeng here for takeout, and I have to be honest, I’m very disappointed. The meat was simply cold, and the egg seemed like it had just been taken out of the fridge. The only thing that was heated was the rice. Unfortunately, it wasn’t freshly prepared, and the food was inedible. For the price, I expected more.

Must Be Thai is a decent spot, but it seems to have lost its charm over time. We asked for spicy drunken noodles but ended up with a bland and overly greasy dish. The Tom Yum soup was okay but felt too heavy on the coconut for our liking. Overall, the flavors were underwhelming, and the experience was just average.

Nice Thai restaurant! We came on a weekday for lunch and it was pretty packed. We ordered a variety of items and shared it family style. The pad see you was really good, the papaya salad was nice and fresh. The Tom yum fried rice was good as well. The staff were attentive and nice.

Ordered takeout recently and enjoyed the Penang curry which had a good flavor/richness and spice level. I didn’t like the Pad Thai as it seemed like the main flavor was coming from the lime although I’ve had trouble finding a good Pad Thai since traveling to Thailand. Would recommend for the curry and might try some of the other curries on their menu in the future!
