I highly recommend this place. I love the Pad Thai, Nam Kao Tod, and mango with sticky rice. The texture is authentic, just like when I ate it in Thailand.

Delicious ! Good service nice atmosphere. Honestly the 4 stars is pretty unfair because the food was great , but it was not spicy at all and they didn’t ask about spice levels when they took our order. Great specials I was really blown away you deserve 5 stars but it was so good I just wanted it to be a little better 🌶️ next time I’ll ask about that when I order.

4.5/5 stars! Super solid food. I loved the papaya salad, and I don’t typically like papaya salad. I didn’t love the pad see ew—the pad ke mow was better. Only reason it doesn’t get a 5/5 is because I was blown out of the water, but it was very delicious.

Bangkok by the Bay offers a wider spectrum of tastes than the typical Thai restaurant, and good-sized portions at reasonable prices. We enjoyed it.

Incredible! Eat here before it’s an impossible reservation. The best Thai food in the East Bay. We were a large group celebrating a birthday, and we felt hosted and taken care of. I can’t say enough about this special place.

The food was delicious and the service was exceptional. A lot of traditional dishes, just ask the staff what you should have and they will guide you in the right direction. Definitely try for yourself. I was impressed by the consistent quality with all the dishes.

I have been here twice now and both times every dish was absolutely scrumptious. They have Thai dishes one finds elsewhere like Pad Thai but always with a twist (on one night a special served it with lobster tails) and many things I've never eaten before, like an oyster mushroom mint salad, with spicy pepper sauce. The price is incredibly reasonable, and actually surprisingly cheap for the level of expertise that the cooking provides and the quality of the ingredients. The setting is beautiful and calm; walking by the beautiful flowers and the outdoor water fountain in the patio to the high ceilinged spacious restaurant already puts one in a good mood. And the service is thoughtful and kind. My favorite place now in Berkeley.

Great food, beautiful little spot on a nice courtyard across from a daycare of some sort, with a water feature and greenery. I sat inside as it was a bit cool for me (bring from Phoenix, 65⁰ with a breeze is winter weather 😂).
Chicken satay and my entree (gra ga prow? - minced chicken with onions and peppers) were both delicious. I will definitely be back when I'm in Berkeley again!

✨ A True Gem in the Bay! ✨
Bangkok by the Bay absolutely blew me away. Every dish was packed with bold, authentic Thai flavors—rich, spicy, and utterly delicious. The presentation was top-notch, each plate looked like a work of art.
The service? Impeccable. Friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between cozy and stylish, with decor that’s both modern and warmly Thai.
It’s rare to find a place where everything comes together this perfectly—food, vibes, and hospitality. Can’t wait to come back. Highly recommended for anyone craving real Thai with a refined twist!
