Must Be Thai

Born from a Love of Thai Food & Fun

At Must Be Thai, our journey began with a question: what does it take for Thai food to truly must be Thai? From our modern kitchen on Stevens Creek Boulevard, we answer this with bold, home-style cooking rooted in tradition—but crave-worthy and fresh. Our menu showcases authentic flavors from Northern to Southern Thailand—Pad See You, Green Curry, Hat Yai Fried Chicken—prepared with a modern twist. It’s not just food, it’s a celebration of Thai heritage, creativity, and passion in every bite.
