One of my favorite places that I go to often. They have big non alcoholic drinks at a cheap price. I love the guava juice and Chicken Terriyaki dish

easy go-to spot in the neighborhood for lunch special or dinner, with something for everyone. we've tried so much of the menu and it's always delish. regular orders for us include the volcano chicken, salmon clay pot, coconut shrimp, black tiger roll, and hiiiighly rec the whole red snapper with mango salad. staff is always attentive and kind + the wait isn't usually long at all. thank you, spicy shallot!!!

I haven't eat here for years and they have some renovation and the restaurant now look nice and more modern. Service is great with very friendly servers and food is pretty quick. - BBQ Beef which is delicious and juicy, love it! - Yum Salmon is good in Thai style of sauce, if you love spicy you should try. - Japanese modern set: It just a regular rolls with nothing special but can feel you up if you are hungry. - Scallops Carpaccio: this menu here I have no idea what went wrong with it. They put too much salt and the sauce is weird. Not crazy at all. I believe most of dishes are delicious from what I ate with a big group of friends last time and I got to try more authentic food. I'm still very happy to eat here and will try more food next time when I come to Woodside.

We have noodle, pineapple fried rice and a sushi roll. The rice and noodles are likely too sweet, might try others stuff next time.

They have a really wonderful decor and vibe. It made me a bit worried that the food might just be designed for Instagramability, but after tasting their stuff and seeing their prices I see that's not the case! Good portions, great Thai selection at their core. I'm curious to try their sushi and other seafood options. Attentive service and great atmosphere, Spicy Shallot really elevates the area! Great spot for a date, and they have lunch specials as well.
