Kaosamai Thai Restaurant

"I love this place! The food is delicious, the service is attentive and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. I went here for lunch with a friend who was visiting from out-of-town. We both ate off the lunch combo menu. Everything was great, with fresh, bright flavors and exactly the level of spiciness that I was hoping for: enough to make it felt but not overpowering. This is easily some of the best Thai food I've ever had. Everything I've had on their menu was excellent. Our server, Josie, is a member of the family that owns Kaosamai. She was fun and helpful. My friend likes to shop for vintage clothes and Josie gave us great ideas on where to shop. I've also done take out from here and it is equally as good as when you dine in. And, very important in crowded Fremont, there is parking in the back. Score! Thank you for a great dining experience! Go eat here!"

"This place has been around for over a decade. It has always been average - passable food but nothing to write home about; more spice than flavor. Recently, service took a turn for the worse. I was there yesterday with a large group (about 15 people) and they will not do more than two checks per table. We asked for printed menus and we got a few, with a warning that prices may no longer be current on them. We asked for an extra glass of water, and we were told that they had already brought glasses for everyone. The service charge, automatically added to the bill as customary for large groups, was 20%. No problem with the automatic add, but it is rather high for this level of service. I get the impression that the management thinks that, in the middle of Fremont as they are, customers will come anyway and they don't need to try particularly hard. Maybe they are right."

"I truly enjoy every dish they cooked! Super delicious and great portion! The only reason why it’s not 5-star is because of the service. Despite the 20% automatic service charge, the server there is usually not attentive. Last time when my friends and I dined there, we all felt awkward and had to ask multiple times to get water. At the end the server didn’t pack my leftover in a to-go box, although she said she would. I was pretty sad that she threw away my yummy leftover! Since then I usually order takeout from this place, they’re just too delicious. The kitchen staff has been doing a fantastic job!! I do like how the service fee’s charged cause the kitchen team deserves it, but not the servers. I would still recommend this place to my friends but warn them about the service as well as service charge."

"the best Thai food in Fremont! The food is amazing and the service is outstanding. The space is so cozy and I love how easy it is to park (they have parking in the back of the restaurant). We love coming here for our weekend day dates with my boyfriend!"

"I’ve been living down the street from Kaosamai for years, I’m upset I hadn’t stopped in sooner. We enjoyed awesome spring rolls, and two beautiful dishes to share. I’m normally not a fan of eggplant but the eggplant special was great!"
