Papaya Salad Laostian Style (5/5): Super funky and fragrant. I loveddd the salted crab sauce. Crunchy papaya and pork rinds are the best! I wish the portion was bigger for the price. Needed more green beans and tomato in my opinion! But overall, soooo delicious.

Pad See Ew with Crispy Pork Belly (5/5): This was so good! The noodle texture was perfect. The flavor was not too salty and not too sweet! The gailan was cooked just right, and the crunchy bitterness added the best contrast. The pork belly was THE STAR of the show! So juicy and fatty. Incredible. I can't come here and not order this.

Jungle Curry (3/5): This wasn't our favorite. They didn't skimp on the veggies and meat, but the curry itself was very light and slightly bland. This is very remisicent of a veggie soup.

It was a clear broth soup with noodles, veggies, pork, and fish balls. Light and tasty. I decided to try a new entree instead of my usual Thai favorites like Pad Thai. I tried out the Pad Mung Khai Khem, squid with salted egg. The ingredients were so fresh. The salty egg balanced the squid very well. The meal was filling but not heavy. I am glad I gave this place a try. Also happy it's close to home!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thai Soul Kitchen is an amazing "Vegetarian & Jain Friendly" place right in the heart of Almaden Valley in San Jose. We visited this restaurant with friends it was nice. Restaurant is pretty small with few tables inside and couple outside, so prepare to wait for some time before your turn. We visited on Saturday evening around 6:30PM and it was packed, tried to call in and make reservations, but because they might be busy, no one picked up the phone. We tried couple noodles (Pad Kee Mau & Rad Na, Green Curry, Basil Fried Rice, & Veg. Potstickers. Medium spicy is spicy for Pad Kee Mau, but other dishes were not too spicy. Being a strict vegetarian it was very important for us to not get our food mixed up with meats and loved how they have separate menus for Vegetarians, this is the first ever Thai establishment where they have entire separate vegetarian menu.

One suggestion to keep in mind: Call ahead of time for reservations on weekends.

Pricing: Prices of each item is little higher compared to other restaurants in the area, and quantities doesn't justify the high price.
Parking: There is lot of parking in the lot since this is in the same parking lot as Safeway.

Location: Convenient location

Dietary Restrictions: Good place for Vegetarians, Vegans & Jains alike.

Coupons or other offers: N.A,

Views: View of Parking lot.

There were 8 of us, I'm so glad I made a reservation, otherwise we wouldn't have gotten seated, the place was packed! Every dish we ordered came out hot and yummy! The green curry I got was enough for 2 meals. Delicious! Have already recommended Thai Soul Kitchen to family and friends. They took great care of our large group, every employee we crossed paths with was so friendly and seemed quite happy to be there. 5/5 ⭐ Will definitely go back!
