Must Be Thai began on Stevens Creek Boulevard with a clear and powerful belief: Thai food should be done right, bold, authentic, and full of life. What started as a modern take on traditional, home-style cooking quickly evolved into something deeper, a commitment to showcasing the rich diversity of Thailand’s cuisine.

To bring that vision to life, we took our team to Thailand, traveling across all four regions to experience the culture, flavors, and energy firsthand, from street food stalls to late-night markets and vibrant city scenes. That journey now lives at the heart of everything we create.

Our San Pedro location marks the next chapter of Must Be Thai. With an expanded menu inspired by all four regions and a lively, nightlife-driven atmosphere, we’ve created a space that goes beyond dining. It’s social, energetic, and immersive, designed to capture the spirit of Thailand while bringing people together over unforgettable food and shared experiences.

At Must Be Thai, it’s not just about what’s on the plate, it’s about the story, the energy, and the feeling you take with you.
