Excellent - Edit
We often go to the Sala Thai restaurants in Fremont, this place in castro valley is even better! The thom ka was excellent, and the brocolli in the curry was cooked perfectly, with a tiny bit of crunch left, and the sauces and the service were excellent.

Delicious vegan options! - Edit
Another Monday night dinner of pad kee mao, eggplant, green curry, & mango sticky rice!
Read moreWe went in Monday night. It was super busy and super GOOD!!! We had Fried Tofu, Pad Kee Mao, Green Curry, Eggplant, Brown Rice, and Mango Sticky Rice. I really like how the server named the ingredients left out & restated it was vegan as each dish was served. The feast was fabulous!
Went in on a busy Friday night and enjoyed Tom Kha, Green Curry, & Pad Key Mao #veganuary

Very oily - Edit
I came here because of the good reviews. Unfortunately my order of Pad Kee mao was very oily and bland despite having a spicy indicator. I didn't even bring home the leftovers which is very unlike me!
Read moreI don't see anyone else complaining about this so maybe this is out of the ordinary.
Pros: Friendly staff
Cons: Food very oily

Great Thai Food! - Edit
This is my favourite Thai place that’s close to home. The pad thai is the best and can be made vegan by omitting the egg. The servers are knowledgeable about vegan options and will ask if you want the egg or not.
Read moreThe Thai ice teas can also be made vegan by requesting soy milk.
The only downside is that this place gets very busy, and it can take a long time to receive your order if you dine in person. I recommend ordering to go if you’re in a hurry.
Pros: Kind and attentive servers, Lots of vegan options , Affordable
Cons: Long wait when dining inside

Good portions for the price! - Edit
Loved the ambience of Top Thai. The staff was extremely friendly and easy to communicate with. I ordered Vegetarian Pad Thai with no egg (they will ask about the egg) and Mango Sticky Rice. The Pad Thai was delicious and a huge portion, but I wish that it had more pieces of tofu in it. However, the Mango Sticky Rice was worth the entire trip here!!! Although it was $8, it was extremely authentic and fresh. The mango was perfectly ripe and I would come back to Top Thai just for this dish. If you're craving Thai food in the area, I would highly recommend coming here!
Read moreI just have to add that the staff at Top Thai is phenomenal!! I asked if they happened to have nondairy milk for the Thai Tea. The staff member let me know that they don't normally carry non-dairy milk, but she would make a special Thai Tea just for me. I couldn't thank her enough for her generously and kindness. Wishing I lived closer so that I could support Top Thai more often!!!
Pros: Easy ordering process, Quick wait time, Friendly staff
Cons: No outdoor seating, Super limited parking

surprisingly good - Edit
Casual Thai restaurant that offers about 10 items that can be made vegetarian or vegan. Our first trip we tried the cashew and mixed vegetable and the eggplant with basil, both with soft tofu, and they were delicious. On our second trip we tried the papaya salad and the ginger sautéed veggies with tofu. The salad had a sweet lime dressing and was fresh and tasty. We asked for very light oil for the stir fry and it tasted very healthy but somewhat bland. With some added spicy red pepper sauce and spicy vinegar it was salvaged and pretty good. Lunch cost about $20 for two, including nonalcoholic drinks, and dinner was closer to $25.

Yum! - Edit
This is my favorite type of place. It's a hole in the wall/hidden gem, as the food is so fresh and flavorful. They will make a full custom order for you if you ask them to. Their masaman curry and curry puffs are to die for! Definitely worth a try.
Read morePros: Amazing Food, Intimate Setting, Super Friendly Staff

Top Thai in Castro Valley, CA - Edit
eaten there twice, with omnivores. They have an impressive array of Veg / Vegan choices. Everything I had was delicious, particularly the Tom Kha soup, and the fried sweet potato appetizer. There peanut sauce is 'the bomb'. The actual restaurant was really buzzing, lots of young people and families, which gave it a very pleasant atmosphere.
Read morePros: Brown Rice available, reasonably priced, local to us in the 'burb's
Cons: parking kinda sucks

Decent, inexpensive, vegan-friendly Thai food - Edit
This isn't top of the line Thai food like we've had in Hawaii, where they grew the pineapple and some other ingredients fresh. However, for a family restaurant, the food is pretty darn good, and amazingly inexpensive for the Bay area. The staff is quite friendly, knowledgable about what is in the food, and quite willing to work with vegans to veganize non-vegan dishes. From the vegetarian menu we had "Vegetables Yellow Curry", "Peanut Sauce Tofu" (spinach, broccoli and tofu with peanut sauce), and "Vegetarian Pad Thai" (they left out the eggs for us). All were delicious. Also, we had the pineapple fried rice from the regular menu, and they left out the seafood and eggs, and substituted in tofu. Although the pineapple was canned, the dish was still good as it also contained cashews, raisins, onions and tomatoes.
Read moreThere's not much downside to this place. It can get a bit crowded on weekend nights, but not insanely crowded, and parking can be a bit tight, but is often readily available right in front of the door. Service can be a bit slow, but not terribly slow. Overall, it's a place worth visiting, and many of the locals have figured that out.
Pros: Delicious Food, Inexpensive, Staff will veganize dishes
Cons: Crowded at times, Slow at times, Not organic
