Laotian Restaurants near Alameda, CA

“Everything we’ve had here is so delicious!!! Our faves are the Tom Kha soup, BMV platter, Pad Kee Mao, Chicken Satay, and Mango sticky rice dessert…all so very yummy!!!“

“Great food and service. My earring came off during dinner and I didn’t discover that it was missing until I got home. I called the next day and they went out of their way to find my favorite Christmas earring.“

“I was planning on eating at Belly for lunch not realizing they’d moved, so I decided to try the new place out. I did not regret it!

The food was great, the service was pleasant, and the vibe was very chill. The woman who served us was happy to answer any questions we had about the menu (I have a shellfish allergy, so this is important for me in particular).

I ended up having the curry. The veggies were perfectly cooked and the flavor was on point. Chicken was still moist and the rice was fluffy.

Will definitely be returning.“

“I order the pumpkin curry. It was delicious. I also ordered the Tom Ka chicken soup. It was too tart, the chicken over cooked. A disappointment for a soup I usually love“

“I eat Thai food once a week and this ranks among the best in the area...smaller, unassuming place but a very pleasant waitstaff and crazy good food...they also understood “mild” and adjusted all the dishes perfectly...we tried 5 items and all were good!“

“Amazing food, terrific waiter. Frustrated that although we booked standard tables they insisted on seating us at a high table which didn't work for my elderly parents. The low tables remained open until 5 minutes before we left. Not great.“

“This place has been a staple for years. From the last time I was here until tonight… it hasn’t changed one bit. The quality and the service are on point and I just want to thank everyone here on this team and the ownership too. Cheers 🙏“

“Simple, clean, delicious, reasonably priced "hole in the wall" but without anything negative about anything -- just unpretentious with totally great food!
Lunch specials are a real bargain, but good any time. The coconut curry broths are fantastic, esp. Yellow curry with fresh eggplant & green beans.
Green curry as good, just different.
Red curry places third but still 5 stars.
Don't miss the little chive cakes or the Pad Thai as good as anywhere in Chiang Mai or Bangkok.
As for Thai in general, please note that 3 of the "world's best restaurants" listed for 2024 are in Thailand.

Chai Thai brings that to Berkeley!“

“I must say, the food and service from this family owned restaurant is one of the best I've experienced in a while!

From the food to desserts, everything was delicious and portioned generously. They ran out of ice cream for the fried banana, but it still hit the spot with the honey glaze.

I will definitely be back again soon!“

“Haven't been to Chai Thai Noodle for a while, way before the pandemic. Probably 5-6 years, sister said they have $5 happy hour noodles samplers (4 kinds of noodles- see photos for the specials).I suggested order 2 different bowls of noodles per person if you're hungry, that's only $10! The boat noodles were our favorites.“
