Cocodine | Thai Cuisine

Party of 2 went for dinner the Sunday of Labor Day weekend. Reached the restaurant around 6pm and were seated within 5 minutes. Really liked the interior decor of the place. I had the mango sticky rice to start, and we shared the papaya salad as an appetizer. I had the signature fried rice with beef. All the food was good quality but it took almost half an hour after we had ordered for anything to arrive at our table. We were starving after a day full of hiking in Lassen NP. The restaurant was packed for sure. Ample parking in the lot outside. Total including tips and taxes came to around 65 bucks, so pretty reasonably priced I'd say.

I've long heard of Cocodine's delicious food, but only just tried it myself - and it lives up to the hype! Everything was extremely flavorful, the tofu was cooked to perfection, and there were plenty of clearly labeled vegetarian options. The staff was also extremely nice. We'll definitely be back.

My favorite Thai place in Chico. Been coming for years. I ordered Phucket Island, Pad Thai, Sweet Nut curry for my 2 yrs old, and Angel Wings. I never tried the Phucket Island before, loads of scallops and Shrimp. Sweet mild curry flavor with what looks like eggs mixed in. While it was good, I probably will stick to my normal Garlic Short Ribs. Other items were good as well, sweet nut curry is perfect for my kids. They love it. No spice at all.

Cocodine Thai Cuisine has its devotees that lavishes high praises to the place. Was even listed on an obviously misguided list as a top pick for restaurants in Chico. With such impressive credentials, and with our naivety that tends to believe what we read, we ventured on a very special Sunday to this some what hiding locale with high hopes for a memorable, positive memorable, evening dinner. Sadly it was not to be at all. Food ordered: Spinach Wraps with Shrimp, $11. Plate arrived with Spinach leaves in a circular patter with small sections for us to prepare as our waitress helpfully described as Thai Tacos. The shrimp was dried tiny pieces in such small amount that we knew we had been misguided by the title. Fixings included peanuts, red onions, lime wedges, ginger, toasted coconut bits, jalapeño and peanuts, with a little container of their secret recipe ginger-herb sauce. Sounds enticing? Not at all, not a made wrap we were supposed to do our own mix of a decidedly overly expensive nonsense. Appetizer was rejected immediately. 1 Star. Titanic Soup, $10. Combination seafood: shrimp, scallops, salmon in a hot and sour broth. Blended harmoniously is what it said, but broth was lemony, not hot and sour, and nothing like the photo, still managed to be the better of the order, which was not all that impressive. 3 Stars. Phuket Island (the "h" is silent) at $19 each. Jumbo sea scallop and shrimp pan fried with red bell peppers, green beans and onions in mild yellow curry reduction. Sounds good? Not at all. The curry covered the food, and it was probably the sweetest curry I’ve ever had the misfortune to try. The Jumbo Scallop was small to medium, and mostly butchered into even smaller pieces. Very little of it. The shrimp the exact one offered on the Titanic soup small to medium, a real downer of a dish covered with sweet curry. They should have saved the sugar for their own which I am almost convinced they would not eat. Their Jasmine rice could have fooled me, but that’s what they called it. 1.5 Stars. Water served the best of what came to the table. So this is the big honcho? Top pick? Total with gratuity $60, not charged for the ridiculously Spinach wrap, which was anything but. The place busy at 95% capacity, staff prompt and nice. Yes, sorry to say I disagree with those that bestowed greatness to Cocodine. 2 Stars.

Food was delicious and the server was great. I like that they have a lot of options for people with various food allergies/restrictions. Every dish I have tried there so far has been so good. And the atmosphere and decor is also nice.

They hit it out of the park with their calamari. I rarely order this dish because it’s so hard to perfect, but I was NOT disappointed by the portion size or flavor and texture!!! It’s hard to get calamari right! The Pad Thai was very good too. There was a nice balance of noodles to mix-in’s. While there were only 3-4 shrimp, there was plenty of chicken and flavor. My husband and I shared the Basil Calamari, Pad Thai, and Sticky Rice with Custard dishes. We were full before the plates were empty. Good portion sizes. The atmosphere is quiet and friendly. The staff are nice, tho not overly attentive.

My family LOVES this restaurant. The staff is so welcoming and their food is sooo delicious. My one year old LOVES their noodles and salmon.
