Coup De Thai - Thai restaurant in Los Gatos - 137 N Santa Cruz Ave, USA

The highlight of our experience here was the server who was one of the best I’ve ever had. She was so accommodating, kept asking if we liked the food and if there was anything else she could do. The food was great too at a reasonable price. I would visit again.

Pros: spacious outdoor, beautiful indoor, glam restroom, good selection of food and dessert, good presentation of food, tasty food, nice staff. For birthday, they sang happy birthday song and the dessert was on the house. Cons: long wait times for food or any request from the server

Extremely nice food and services! The food is awesome with reasonable price. It’s the best pad Thai I’ve had! The service is also impeccable.

Dragon Balls menu is very delicious:however, it is mild not spicy. Comparing to standard Thai hot&spicy food, Dragon Balls might disappoint you if you are coming here just to try Dragon balls menu. Other than that, everything else is so delicious and authentic here. You will enjoy every single menus you order from Coup De Thai.

If you come for dragon ball because of the lawsuit like I did, you are bound to be disappointed. But if you come for good food, you are in the right place. Let me cut to the chase. Given the lawsuit alleges that this dish causes chemical burns, I was expecting hotter than usual spicy. Dragon ball is a disappointment to this extent. It is objectively mild by any standard. Yes, I am used to Sichuan food. But that is also why I was ready to taste something that is hotter than that. Other than this point, the dragon ball is quite tasty if you want some spice but cannot take too much heat. As we only had a quick lunch, and I am not versed in Thai flavors. So, I will skip commenting on food. (The other dish we ordered was Thai BBQ pork with sticky rice. It is also well prepared, although personally I would like it better if meat is marinated more. Other than the dipping sauce for the BBQ, these dishes taste closer to milder, Southern Chinese than Southeast Asian food. The coconut ice cream they say they got from a shop on the street, on the other hand, has a unique texture that we like very much. We went to the shop afterward, but they do not sell that flavor.) The restaurant has a welcoming air, elegant lighting, and is very stylishly decorated. (Food plating is also delicate.) Given this is downtown Los Gatos, there is amble free parking nearby. We arrived a little after lunch time and got seated quickly. The server is very attentive as you expect from a South Asian joint. Overall, Coup de Thai is a very pleasant place to eat.

Excellent option for Thai in Los Gatos. I come over the hill from Santa Cruz for this spot- it’s the closest good option! Papaya salad is a go to and the pad grr pow with chicken and extra veggies- both spicy! The protein quality on the chicken is great- not chewy or tough, this is key in a dish that’s mostly meat (pad grr pow). I typically sit outside in warmer months, and enjoy these two dishes! Still have my favorite Thai spots in Los Angeles and New York (same same and nourish, respectively) but now living in the area this is my new go to local spot!

I came because of a lawsuit about the dragon balls, but they were extremely not spicy. I was very disappointed. Tofu dish was a little bland and watery but the rest were good. Lamb chops were quite delicious.

Yes!! We went to @CoupdeThai just to try her infamous Spicy Dragon balls ! Of course, the food here was delicious! The pad thai is easily one of my favorite dishes, the fry calamari, ribs, chicken satay on a stick, Tom Kha Gai Soup were all delicious. 🍍🥧Don’t forget the pineapple pie dessert, crunchy and savory. So good! According to the New York Post, “A woman (neurologist) is suing @CoupdeThai restaurant and its employees for negligence and emotional distress, claiming that one of the eatery’s mega-spicy dishes [dragon balls] was “unfit for human consumption” and left her with health issues that lingered two years after she ate it.” If you can’t stand the heat, don’t try to order any dishes with a kick. These dragon balls were NOT even spicy at all! 🤦🏻‍♀️Perhaps we should start putting warming labels and all mild hot sauce like sriracha and tabasco sauce?
