Didn't get to experience dine in cause we did take out. The food was good, portion was decent, and the price was reasonable. I ordered spicy fried rice but I couldn't feel the spice at all though they put some flakes on it. So, if u want spicy, try extra spicy to meet your expectations.

My favourite thai place in bay area. I know this is in Berkley and I live in South bay but I make up things to visit in Berkley or Oakland to come eat here. It gives you street food vibes while tingling your tastebuds with amazing thai cuisine. Bonus points for how vegetarians and vegans can enjoy this place too!!

I have been coming to this restaurant for years. It was always packed with customers and the wait time about 30 minutes. The food was worth the wait. But for the past two months the food quality has been been going down until tonight it reached rock bottom. I ordered the yellow curry with prawns and baby back ribs.There were exactly two small sized shrimps and lots of potatoes and slices of onion in the yellow curry. (In the long ago past, the yellow curry prawns came with 6 large prawns. Now it seems that yellow curry with prawns has morphed into yellow curry potates.) The baby back ribs did not look like ribs. They were so small and over fried that they looked and tasted like burnt snails! Terrible! IMM's check is rigged so customers are tipping on the sales tax we already pay for. So, if you check the box that says 20% tip, we are actually tipping 30+%. A ripoff!! I have learned to tip by first subtracting the sales tax. A Thai restaurant, Farmhouse Kitchen Thai Cuisine, opened on Shattuck cross street Cedar across Andronico's market. They have two menus: one for Thai street food (prices comparable to IMM) and the other menu for upscale Thai food (delicious but expensive). Food has nuanced flavor (upscale level cooking techniques), worth every dollar spent there. I do see past IMM customers at Farmhouse Kitchen Thai restaurant on Shattuck and Cedar. I'm searching for new restaurants with the intention of taking my business there. IMM has lost another customer. There are so many restaurants in Berkeley, we can have fun exploring them to discover new favorites. There is absolutely no need to put up with subpar food. Bye IMM!

Imm Thai Street Food is absolutely fantastic. Every dish tastes incredible, full of bold flavors, and perfectly balanced just like real Thai street food. You can feel the freshness of the ingredients.
Their spice levels are spot-on, the portions are generous, and everything tastes freshly made. Even the small details, like their sauces and herbs, are truly impressive.
The staff is warm, friendly, and attentive, the kind of place where you immediately feel comfortable. Service is quick, and the food always comes out hot and beautifully prepared.
If you’re craving real Thai food with authentic flavor and great quality, Imm Thai Street Food is a must-visit. Easily one of my favorite Thai spots in the area. Highly recommended!

TLDR:
Overall: An easy, delicious go-to place for spice, flavor, and a stuffed stomach
My Order: Pad Kee Mao with tofu, sometimes extra spicy.
Price Breakdown: Usually $16-$17 total per meal.
Portions: Excellent portions! 1 noodle/curry dish enough to be stuffed and even take some home
Halal/Vegetarian Friendly: Vegetarian options are well labeled, tofu is a protein option, and many dishes can be requested to be made vegetarian
Would get again: I've eaten here so many times, what's another time?
Every time I've come here, I've gotten exactly the same thing - the Pad Kee Mao- and it still hits every time. The food is always so mouthwateringly perfect which the right combo of spice and savory, soft and crunch. My bonus points are awarded for the tofu which is always so crispy and flavorful - never cold and soggy. They have the option to up the spice, and considering I have a pretty high spice tolerance, their highest extra spicy version really is spicy! I recommend getting it normal spicy and asking for their chili oil to adjust as needed. The environment is lovely and great for a one-on-one or small group situation. Note that it does get busy here often, but the dine in experience is much better than take out, so do account for some wait time.

We ordered takeout from this place and got their Grilled Chicken Satay, Spicy Pork Pad Se Ew, and Spicy Beef Pad Kee Mao.
The chicken satay was good, and the flavor was nice and well-seasoned. Both the Pad Se Ew and Pad Kee Mao were just ok. The ingredients were fresh, but the flavor was lacking overall. The noodles weren't fried well, so they had a mushy texture. Besides, we ordered both dishes spicy, but they had no heat at all, very mild and leaning toward more toward the sweet side.

This place is extremely popular. There's is almost always a queue. But the food is worth the wait.

Fantastic and authentic Thai cuisine. It tends to get very busy with lines outside. We came just before the lunch rush hour and had no wait. Large portions and great vegetarian selection. Highly recommended!

Love the food, there was a bit of a wait, but it was well worth it!! I got the crispy chicken as my entree and for dessert I got the sticky rice with mango. I highly recommend it. Portions were good and the fresh ingredients were amazing and hit the spot. The atmosphere is cute and the staff is friendly.
