This is the best Thai restaurant I’ve been to in the East Bay. So I and my friends keep coming back. The dishes are really well done, and the portions are quite good too. While, it can get a little noisy when it’s full, most of the time it’s OK. I particularly love the corn cheese fritters, the jumbo garlic, shrimp, the exquisite, coconut soup, and the ginger dish. The wait staff have been universally considerate and excellent.

Love this place. My Thai wife and I make this place and Bangkok By The Bay our weekly goto for Thai food. Excellent selections (different styles of food). She prefers spicy, me not so much but both are Excellent and fresh.

I ordered delivery through GrubHub and it is fantastic! Their Thai fresh rolls come with an excellent peanut sauce that has a nice kick to it that enhances the flavor profile. They were awesome and substituted carrots for the eggplant in my green chicken curry which was fresh and flavorful.
