In Short
Upon entering the owner calls out "Welcome to paradise" (Sivalaya is the Thai word for paradise) then proceeds to introduce himself and ask your name, which he will remember and use throughout your visit. Curries are… Read Full Editorial
Excellent food, excellent service! by WonderVenus via Citysearch on 1/4/2012
Excellent food, excellent service! These are some of the nicest people around! We've been going here for years and have always been greeted with a smile. The free Thai Iced tea, the free Coconut Rice with mango and the free salad roll with…
Delicious, authentic food and outstanding service by raynotoole via Citysearch on 9/21/2011
I am shocked to see all the negative reviews of this amazing restaurant. I have never experienced friendlier or more welcoming service, and the food is equally outstanding. I am a huge thai food fan, and I find the food at Sivalai to be…
A Horror Film by PaleoPrincess via Citysearch on 2/5/2011
This might be one of the worst experiences I've had in 2011 in general - stay away!!!!!!!!!!\r

My first clue should have been the ice-cold tea or when the waiter completely disregarded my question about whether a dish contained a common…
Great authentic Thai Food, Drunken Noodles to die for! by Faust via Citysearch on 12/22/2009
Sivalai is great authentic thai food served by a very friendly staff. Thier menu is varied, and everything I've been served is very flavorful. I've tasted the real thing on the streets of Chiang Mai, and this is a very faithful version.…
I used to love this place. by JRPDX via Citysearch on 8/9/2009
I started coming to Sivalaya around 2001 and it was one of my favorite Thai places. The owner would always greet us at the door. I returned from Korea last December and took my wife there on our first night in the US. The food was great…
Save your money! by rifraff via Citysearch on 2/9/2009
My husband and I just got home with our take out: veggies in peanut sauce and pad thai. Both were beyond terrible, the peanut sauce was thin as water and tasted oily, no other flavors, just oily. The pad thai was also only oily tasting…

We tried Sivalaya Thai a number of years ago becuase they'd taken over our previous favorite Thai restarant (Thai Touch). The owner, Jose, definitely takes you off guard at…
Mouthwatering Thai food in record time! by experiencednibbler via Citysearch on 1/2/2008
I am hooked on Sivalaya! The service is great and you won't have to wait long for your food at all. The waitresses know my boyfriend and I since we go so much and they bring us as much free ice tea, soup, desert and rice and we can eat (we…
Service too fast? by kendrakw via Citysearch on 9/5/2007
Upon entering we were greeted enthusiastically and seated immediately. The iced tea was free but we were just a bit disappointed to find out they don't serve beer. The service was fast and friendly almost to the point of being insulting.…
The Best Thai Food for the Money by wienermama via Citysearch on 4/30/2007
I love this place! I have gotten take-out from this place for a year, but recently came with my family and I dined-in. What a wonderful experience! Great service, great food, great value. We will definitely be return visitors. What a…
Interactive experience plus freebies. by paropa via Citysearch on 1/23/2007
I live a block away from Sivalaya and I eat there at least once a week. The owner Jose is super friendly but can be (can be as in always) loud and personal but not to mention really funny. Example: If your name is John be prepared to be…
Over-the-top service, underwhelming food. by flaviuspdx via Citysearch on 12/30/2006
As others have commented, the owner is friendly in a kind of pushy way. We went there for the first time and, sure enough, got free tea, crispy roll appetizer, and dessert. The owner helpfully recommended several menu items. We went with…
kinda crappy food, lying owner. by gingerrogers via Citysearch on 12/25/2006
I went there with a vegan, and asked for food with tofu. The food was insipid, standard thai food, better than carts, but not much more than that. But we found chicken in it.
JAMES BOND SCREAM AT YOU! by robotdeer via Citysearch on 11/29/2006
The guy is crazy and nice... to customers. To his workers he was rude and still crazy. He named me James Bond, which weirded me out. I thought to myself crazy people make the tastiest food so this should be wonderful! It was first of all,…
A Little Too Friendly, to cover up the mediocre Food by badcompany via Citysearch on 11/3/2006
I saw the 9.6 rating, and thought, "I can't lose." Well I didn't "lose" exactly, but I don't feel like I won. The soup was not bad, the rice was fresh and tasty, but the dishes themselves were just less than ordinary. The family is…
Wish I loved this place, but the food is pretty average (but owners are VERY friendly) by twoodburn via Citysearch on 6/28/2006
We live close to here, so it makes for an easy stop on the way home from work. The owner is charming, friendly and sweet and the place is very family friendly. Service is very brisk and organized, never had an order screw-up or snafu. …
A place you keep coming back too!! by nikkidear via Citysearch on 3/15/2006
The food and service is wonderful as well as the staff. They are very accomodating and are happy to combinded any two dishes if you can't decide. Worth a try, you will be hooked. As one customer put she had to limit herself to only 3…
First Timers by dsmadz via Citysearch on 12/8/2005
My family was given a gift certificate as a gift. We called ahead to see if we needed reservations for a party of six including our two kids. We were told no reservations were needed. We told them we would be there in about an hour. When…
Supurb food and service by josholona via Citysearch on 9/21/2005
Sivalaya is my favorite restaurant. You can't beet the value and service. The owner Jose has so much energy and is so friendly and funny. The curry's are the best and defiently try the drunken noodles. We will sometimes drive all the way…
