The menu is relatively limited. I don't eat pork so that cut out a large number of things (usually not a problem for me in Thai restaurants). Pad Thai was great but my fave was the crispy rice salad. The ladies who run the place and serve are THE BOMB. They'll do whatever they can to make you smile and I loved them!!! Definitely recommend giving it a try.

The food here is just fine. It is by no means exemplary, and while the dishes are interesting and different, the execution is solidly 3/5.The value is, even for Berkeley, subpar. Entree are $20 and even the smallest appetite will leave hungry. At $20-25/head, I would expect at least one of the four people at the table to need a to-go box.The pork chop dish is literally a hammered 4-oz out pork chop with an egg on top, some fish sauce drizzled on top, and some garnish. At $19, I was underwhelmed.This was fine, won't come back.

Plant based (Vegan)? We loved the Crispy Rice Salad and the Yu Choy greens. At first we thought we'd leave hungry (the only other vegan option was tofu- which my BF doesn't eat) but the salad and the You Choy, along with some green tea, was plentiful enough for the both of us. We loved it. There's a nice patio but the cold, metal stools got to go.

Spectacular blistered greens and papaya salad. Pad Thai was not nearly as amazing as the other dishes avoid pad Thai. The rest was truly stunning. Great service. Delicious Thai iced tea. Small space and close tables. Fun decorations and a porch for when there is good weather.

This place is definitely overrated. We went there because of its rating. I saw some reviews saying the waitress’ demeanor is rude. I didn’t pay attention to it. However, our experience was even worse than I would imagine. The waitress treated us without any respect. She was either raciest or just didn’t want to serve us for any reason. What is more is that she had zero tolerance to our two-years old. In addition, the food was just OK but very small portions and priced far above average Thai restaurants. I won’t recommend anyone to go there especially if you have a toddler. This place totally ruined our dinner. Another I noticed now is that a lot of its recent reviews are not that high, so I wonder if this place used to be very good that was why it has a such high reviews.

We got the papaya salad and the Pad Thai. Delicious, but small portions. I agree with some of the other reviews here, tasty but not a great value for the prices. Other options are available.

The food was too salty and quite average.The service was extremely poor; I'm not sure why the server was so hostile.Firstly, it was very sunny during lunch, so my mom found an outdoor table and moved the chairs to the shaded side. The server informed us that we couldn't do that because it blocked a safety pathway. We immediately, very politely, responded and were willing to cooperate. She still maintained a rude attitude and said that if we needed anything, we should inform her and follow her instructions. She asked what we were planning to do, as if it isn’t clear that we are here to eat. What else are we gonna do? Are we going to steal things or misbehave?My mother brought her own juice because she has dietary restrictions and can't eat other foods. The server told us we couldn't bring outside food due to hygiene reasons, which I can understand. I wanted to explain my mother's condition, but she didn't wait for us to have a complete conversation. She said that if my mom decided to continue drinking her juice , she could refuse to serve us next time. Then, she left without giving us a chance to respond.Last but not the least, she brought the bill to our table while we were still eating and asked if we needed takeaway boxes. We hadn't finished our meal, nor had we requested the bill, so it felt like she was rushing us out due to the previous incidents. I posted the photo below. That was how much food left while we were eating when she brought the bill.Her reasons all made sense, but her communication was very unprofessional, and at times felt violent, leaving us with a very bad experience.
This place was more than disappointing . It takes a special talent to ruin a curry...it was soupy , no flavor and COLD ! when we ask to reheat it , we were told its not possible. The bok choy was cut roughly and one could easily choke on it - no flavor .The portions were small , we left hungry with $100 bill for hardly anything .the worse Thai food in town !Vegetarian options: hardly any vegetarian dishes .

Despite expressing my preference for spicy or extra-spicy Thai food, the staff persistently warned me that the Pad Thai wouldn't be refundable if I found it too spicy. This happened even after I assured them that I'm accustomed to eating very spicy foods, like raw jalapeños. They even went as far as suggesting I order it with zero spice, which I found both insulting and embarrassing. In the end, I ordered the standard Pad Thai with additional spice on the side. Disappointingly, even with the extra spice added, the dish was utterly bland. To top it all off, the staff's demeanor was outright rude.

The first time I got takeout here it was amazing. This time it fell short. First thing was the mussles... 1/3 were not opened... 19 bucks The steak last time was about 2 times larger...Still good flavor and spice but less in other ways.

The wings are not to be missed: fragrant sauce, juicy, beautifully cooked (not dried out) sticky, delicious.The Pad Thai is full of flavor, tangy, perfect amount of heat, slightly chewy noodles, and the lightly cooked shrimp are a revelation.
