The food here is amazing. My favorite was the pad see ew with chicken and the thai iced coffee. However, the service (or lack thereof) pretty much ruined our dining experience and none of us will be returning. I do not like writing negative reviews but i feel it is very necessary in this context as we were wrongfully charged a 20% gratuity fee that, according to the menu, was mandated for parties of 6 or more—but we were a party of 5. Honestly, we wouldn’t have been upset about that if the service had actually been deserving of such a tip, but it definitely wasn’t! Feels quite unfair that they got that tip off us without providing the appropriate service. They left us at the table for a good 20 minutes after we had finished our food, and when the server finally came around to collect our plates we tried to order desert but she immediately shut us down because they were closing in ten minutes. Wouldn’t have been a problem if they had come around to our table sooner, as we would have ordered the dessert then. Honestly, mid or bad service generally isn’t an experience-ruiner for me when i eat out and I definitely wouldn’t be writing nearly this harsh a review if they hadn’t charged us a wrongful 20% tip. We really wanted to like this place since we live so close by, but I definitely won’t be returning. On another note, it gets quite loud inside so if you are trying to have an intimate dinner I would recommend choosing another place. But i have to reiterate that there were zero problems with the food—the whole table really enjoyed everything we ordered.

Pineapple fried rice was very bland, and a very small portion. definitely not worth the $25 I spent for a to-go order @ 2pm. very disappointed.

The pumpkin curry is the most pumpkinest curry I’ve ever had. It’s like they puréed a pumpkin into the curry sauce. Based purely off of this rendition of pumpkin curry I give 5 stars. I’ll come back for more food.
*just had the mango sticky rice. I’m stoked this place exists. This is awesome. Glad I found this place before global warming or WWIII killed us all.

Underrated gem in Berkeley that offers some of the best Thai food! I absolutely recommend their Khao Soi. So flavorful and delicious.
They also have other great options which are all so flavorful. I loved their Tom Yum soup and they have a great Green Curry, although it is less spicy and creamy than what one might be used to, they use fresh vegetables.
Unlike other Thai places in Berkeley, there is plenty of seating. The staff are very friendly and give it a family-friendly vibe.
They can adjust spice for all dishes and really do make it a lovely dining experience.

Nice place! We were craving pad Thai and this place delivered. I wish the sauce had more peanuts in it though. Tasty Thai tea too.

One of my favorite Thai places around Berkeley! Came back for the first time in a while, and was not disappointed at all. Highly recommend their pad thai or their pineapple fried rice.

This was actually the best drunken noodles I’ve ever had. And I’ve had a lot of drunken noodles in this life.

Have Eaten with them for many years. Now I get them via Doordash. The lady was ' Very Polite ' on the Fone. They are ' Accomodating ', and I like that !!!
Per usual I'm most enjoyed the wonderful yellow curry with chicken and rice and papaya salad with shrimp the best papaya salad ever love the tartness of the lime

Good selection of popular Thai dishes. Good service. Food came out very fast so was a little hesitant. However the food was fresh, hot and tasty. Reasonably priced for the portion you get. Would eat here again.

I ordered a chicken pad kea mao (drunken noodles) and it was really good although… they gave me pork instead of chicken. And I didn’t know about that until they came over to the table with the plate that had chicken. Thankfully I am able to eat pork but… be careful if you are not— ask twice to make sure you get the right dish. Otherwise, they were very accommodating to our very large group.
