Sadly my lunch was pretty bad. The yellow curry was bland and weirdly slimy. It didn’t taste like any Thai curry I have ever tasted, and I am a world traveler. It didn’t have a trace of curry flavor or spice. The server was kind and the restaurant ambience was decent. BUT the restroom was through the dirty kitchen into a horror movie. It was filthy beyond decency and there was no door- only a shower curtain between the kitchen, cooks and me in the filth. I am traumatized.
Loved, loved, LOVED this little gem of a restaurant!
My husband and I ate here for our last night in PDC and all I can say is I wish we’d found it sooner! (We just happened to stumble upon it while on a walk.) The atmosphere felt romantic and the food and drinks were perfect. We had the spring rolls, tuna roll, gaeng khiau wan spicy curry and ramen with crispy pork belly. All our food was delicious. My husband fell in love with his curry dish! The Daiki cocktail was easily my favorite drink I had while in PDC; cocktail perfection.
The service from Adi and Nicco was excellent—they were both friendly and attentive.
We will for sure be coming back here next time we’re in PDC. Thank you Kobma for such a great dining experience! 🙌

My wife had pad Thai. I had a curry pineapple rice dish. My wife has sampled pad Thai all over the world including Thailand. The food was extremely flavorful and good. The name has changed to Corner Thai.
We had the tuna sashimi, a tuna sushi roll and some noodles with chicken. The tuna didn’t seem fresh and both the sashimi and the sushi roll had a mayo-based sauce that took away all the flavour. The rice on the sushi was really dry. The noodles were lacking flavour and the chicken was overcooked. While the service was good and the place looked nice, the food seemed overpriced for the quality, it was not what I expected at all. Would not go again.
Sushi in baja just hits different, or however the kids say it these days. I always have to ask for wasabi, ginger, and sriracha where at least wasabi and finger are more or less automatic en el otro lado. Just an observation, though. The food and service here were both nice. Sake took a while to arrive, but everything was great when it did.
I had Green Curry, and my husband had Khow Pad Saparod. The food tasted good, just like Thai food in Thailand, but of course, one of the chefs is Thai. Eat here and talk with the chef just made me feel like I'm at home in Thailand.
The food was amazing, I tried some kind a Jicama tacos with pork and absolutely delicious.. 5⭐️ the rest of the food was amazing too unfortunately my battery die and couldn’t take more pictures.
One of my favorite places to eat. The staff here is fantastic! Ernesto was our server, and he is one of the best! We absolutely loved his personality and his attention to detail, and his natural ability to make you smile and laugh... we love this guy! Everything was delicious.
I started off with the spring rolls... very delicious, for my main course, I ordered the chicken tandoori (I highly recommend) ... it was so good, so full of flavor, with out a doubt it is one of my all time favorite dishes!
And then Ernesto recommended the mango creme brulee, and it was amazing.
Definitely check this place out and request Ernesto as your server. You will not be disappointed,

Food was great. Reasonably priced. I had Pad Thai with Chicken and Tofu (that's extra for both - just how I like it). The flavors were great. Heavier on Thai Basil and less heavy on peanut satay sauce than a lot of places. My wife got the Tom Kha Gai (Coconut Lime Soup) and also liked it.
Delicious corner spot and one of the best Thai food in the area.
We ordered the Thai fried rice and green curry with a side of habanero chilli sauce - absolutely delicious
Downvoting minus one as the Pad Ke Mao and Pad Se Ew we ordered as takeaway smelt fishy (from too much fish sauce) after reheating it on a stove from the fridge - that's never happened before in any takeaway order.

All of the restaurants at the Hilton are top tier, but this was by far our favorite! We literally came every night because the food was so amazing. The fish was some of the freshest I’ve ever had. Service was also delightful; everyone was so friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Irving the chef is amazing at what he does, and Francisco’s team was perfect. We’ll definitely be back next time we stay, I can’t wait!
Lovely atmosphere and view and great service, and the food much improved. We ate here a couple of times before (2021 & 2022), and Though service, vibe etc were great, we felt the food was fairly average. Pleased to say this time (2023) the food has improved significantly. Granted if you’ve eaten Thai food in Thailand then you’ll probably still be a little disappointed, but otherwise you’ll likely find the experience very good. The starter sampler platter is a star, the amuse bouche were excellent, and the pad Thai honestly very good. Now Saffron is well worth a visit
The atmosphere of this place was great, the outdoor seating was very relaxing and casual in the evening. Food was decent, but as an Asian of course my standards may be a bit higher on this regard. Keeping in mind that the food is more modern fusion than traditional, the essential flavors were there for the pad Thai and the curry. They were both very delicious. But the summer roll and the ramen were a bit confused, the flavor and the fundamentals of the dish just weren't there. Nevertheless, it was still a pleasant dinner experience as a whole
Great service and beautiful view. The wine selection was very nice, but the food was just okay. Some of the dishes we ordered were overly sweet and the curry was a bit bland. The salmon appetizer was the best food item we had - it was very flavorful and more authentic than the rest of the dishes.
Great thai food, had an amazing experience, the food was great and with really big portions per plate. The staff was friendly and the tropical atmosphere improved everything. Glad to go back and taste the rest of the menu.
Post update October 2023: they didn’t have entree rolls this time either.
The prices have gone up since the first time I went, and the last time I was there.
The food can get wet if it rains. The umbrellas don’t prevent the food from getting wet if it rains, since they are made from fabric and now you can’t sit inside.
This time I got a green curry. It was very good. It’s my favorite.

Their vegan options are good 🌱 Portions are also good. I particularly like the green and yellow currys with tofu. They come with plain white rice on the side, and cost around $230 MXN each. The Vegan Pad Thai lacked some flavor when I tried it. Beverages are somewhat expensive in my opinion.
The last time I was there I didn’t get any courtesy veggie rolls because I got there at 10 pm and they say they stop serving them at 9:30 pm. Also, some customers were smoking marihuana beside me, and being very loud. They seemed drunk too. The waiter said he couldn’t do anything about it. It was very uncomfortable.
If it seems like it’ll rain, make sure to sit inside because the umbrellas on top of the tables get wet, and eventually water starts leaking over your food.
This is a place to go if you enjoy eating spicy food. Their spicy sauces are good.

I'm a huge fan of Thai food and love it when restaurant can keep the flavours and stay vegan. Food here is tasty, they know what vegan is. Staff are friendly helpful and services is quick. Everything is cooked to order, plenty of fresh vegetables in the meals.
Support this family run restaurant, it's good 👍

An unusual approach to cooking Japanese food. Very interesting. If you are not disappointed by the broken ceiling of this restaurant, I recommend you try it. Great cocktails.
I usually order delivery from this place as a last resort if Mae Thai isn't delivering. It's always been mediocre but the last time I ordered, the food was so bad it didn't even get finished.
The curries are thin and watery, almost like a soup with not a lot flavour. We've ordered all three and they basically have the same flavour. The papaya salad is more expensive than any other Thai place but has the audacity to be a carrot and papaya salad. I've attached a photo to show what a rip-off it is.
The only saving grace here is they somehow manage to make a decent Pad Thai so if you need to order, just get one of those.

Excellent food, quality and service. Parking available, open regularly until 10 pm. Credit cards accepted. Prices are reasonable. You won't regret it.
Lovely atmosphere warm and intimate. The current head chef is AMAZING at dealing with complicated food allergies. I couldn't recommend more highly!
Delicious - authentic Thai cuisine, fresh ingredients, great service
This restaurant was very clean, the food was great and had great service! Went with a group so everyone ordered something different. We had the opportunity to try a lot of different foods. Highly Recommend.
Has pretty decent vegan options, great ambience, great service and great staff.
They brought in Vegan spring rolls for us specially and gave them with 4 different types of soy sauces, must visit if you're looking for some Thai food around Playa Del Carmen..

The food was decent. Fried lobster, pad Thai and fried rice were all pretty good. The service was friendly, but a few too many screw ups for me to give it a 5 star rating. They brought out 2 of the same entrees by mistake. They also made my dish with chicken even though I asked for the vegetarian option. They also brought out some random dish that no one ordered. I feel like they were just a bit disorganized. But overall not bad, just can't give them 5 stars.
Funny experience. Couple tables in a garden. Beer? No but you can bring them from home.... Okay.
Food? Was good and one in a kind in Los Mochis.

Excellent Asian food enjoyed with our two teenaged kids. We ordered many dishes to share. Our favorites were the tuna tartar and the catch of the day in curry sauce and the sashimi.
