Stopped her randomly on a road trip and the food was awesome - lots of vegan options. My daughter got yellow curry and I got the basil stir fry and both were very flavorful and better than expected. My partner got the pad Thai and said it was awesome. Our waiter Billy was very friendly and helpful

This is a nice restaurant. The food is always hot, the service is always great. Compared to other Thai restaurants, my father in-law likes their green curry the best. I enjoy the pad thai. I wish the pork had a little more flavor in the fried rice, but it's ok. No big deal. So far, I have no complaints. I have t really tried anything else.

Main reason for trying this restaurant was for the duck curry. I got the yellow curry with duck and omg it was amazing. We ordered alot of other things like Mon Tod and fried pumpkin, orange chicken ,papaya salad, pad thai, pad se ewe, mango sticky rice. I have to say we dont have one complaint. If your looking for good food this is the place to try.

Thai House will always hold a special place for me — they’re the reason I first fell in love with Thai cuisine. Over 14 years ago, on a simple work lunch break, a friend suggested this spot, and I was hooked instantly. Week after week, I’d return, always blown away by the bold flavors and comforting recipes. Even after years of moving away and coming back, Thai House has remained a touchstone for me. Their recipes never lose their flavor, and the warmth of the family who owns it makes every visit feel like coming home. They’ve always greeted me with authentic kindness, no matter how long it’s been since my last visit. They say you never forget your first — and for me, Thai House will always be that first unforgettable taste of Thai cuisine in Bakersfield. Highly recommended every single time.

Thai House Restaurant in Bakersfield is one of those low-key gems that gets everything right. From the moment you step in, you’re greeted by a cozy, welcoming vibe with traditional Thai decor that gives the space an authentic touch. The food is the real star here. I tried the pineapple fried rice and the red curry, and both were packed with flavor, fresh ingredients, and just the right amount of heat. The presentation was beautiful—colorful, vibrant, and inviting. Portions are generous for the price, which sits comfortably in the $20-$30 range. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. It’s not a fancy place, but it’s clean, comfortable, and clearly loved by locals. If you’re looking for flavorful Thai food in a modest, laid-back setting, Thai House is definitely worth the visit. Great for dine-in or takeout, especially when you’re craving comfort food with bold flavor.
