While searching for a place to gave dinner, we came across this one. Thai food is ranked #3 in our list if favorites. The place was empty and we got service quickly. Everything was delicious, we ordered calamari appetizer, Tom Yum soup, steam rice and chicken fried ricePortions were generous and fed the party of 3 ? Thai iced tea and Singha ?

Yum! I love Thai food and Thai-triffic was delicious. Bright and fresh flavors and not oily and heavy.Our server was great as well. I’ll be back!

Excellent green curry. The lemon chicken is fantastic for those who aren't looking for spicy food.

New owners changed the menu, took away the best dishes. No sriracha chicken or coconut bbq chicken. New food is mediocre at best.

I really really wanted to like this new Thairrific. I loved the old one. I know it's more expensive but if the food is improved, it's not a problem. The first time I went in I ordered a traditional Thai street food spicy noodle soup. We used to live in LA and I miss the Thai Town version. This was not bad, and I would have given this new owner 4 out of 5 stars just for having it on the menu.But then I went back, hopeful, and ordered a lunch portion of Pad Kra Pow, a stir fry spicy basil dish every Thai restaurant in the Central Coast serves. It's a basic dish that reveals how good a Thai restaurant is at doing the classics. Now I've tried this in almost every other Thai place within 40 min, and I am SO disappointed to report it is awful, like 1 star awful. I feel bad saying this, but it just is. It's watery, bland, with too little meat. I can't remember when I've had a bad version of this dish. Even the unexciting ones I've had were at least tasty. This was so bland and watery I actually felt cheated of my $12 and sorely missing old Thairrific's simple, cheap but always tasty dishes, especially the unique sambal chicken.Maybe their dinner portions are better, I don't know, Yelp reviews aren't reassuring so far. Every lunch special I've eaten at other local Thai places were good barometers of the overall food quality, because why wouldn't they be? It's generally not good business to skimp on teaser items that pull customers in for more expensive dinner meals.There are many Thai restaurants in the area - they're either cheap and good or more expensive but offer higher quality ingredients/more unique items. Thairrific seems to be occupying a precarious perch as fancier Thai dining with unfortunately little attention to food quality and consistency. Thairrific v2 would do well to learn from rock star veterans in their price bracket - Thai Palace in SLO. Always consistently good, always happy to pay more.What a shame, I had high hopes! Since there's nothing on their dinner menu that other Thai places aren't already rocking cheaper and better, I doubt I'll be back much, if at all. I sincerely hope hope they improve their lunch specials.

Was empty on a Friday night.. Was a little skeptical but the food was great.. We ordered the veggie rolls and veggie fried rice (spiciness 4/5) and it tested great.. Customer service was great

I love this Thai restaurant. Their green curry is delicious and the eggplant in it is prepared perfectly. You can't go wrong.

The food is delicious! Small menu, but the best Thai food I've have in a long time. This will definitely be our San Luis Obispo to-go restaurant.

We finally got to go after 3 years. They are closed on Sundays, days we traveled through. Then the pandemic happened, and finally last week Monday we got there after 4pm and the food was just as great as in our memories. A must to go of in the area and if not on a Sunday ?
