I really wanted to like it more, maybe it was just my choices that were a little bland. Lovely staff and place though.

Really chill small mom and pop restaurant with great service and great flavors. They use Thai chilis so spicy is on point.

Had lunch there with a friend a few days ago.
This restaurant has wonderful Thai food, excellent fresh ingredients and friendly service.
The one thing I wish they would change, are those awful metal trays in which they serve the lunch special!!
They are inconvenient to eat from them. Hard to scoop the soup from the indentation. Too bad they changed from using regular plates to those metal trays.
Hope new owners reconsider and go back to plates.
All their wonderful food looses it's appeal when served in those metal trays.

This is my new favorite Thai place in Berkeley! Ingredients are really fresh, there are even fun new additions like Thai tacos. Service is always immaculate and they are so nice. I can’t vouch for the pad Thai because I always get a special but I like that everything on the kids menu is really mild.

Rally great Thai restaurant- high quality food and nice service and ambiance.

I docked two stars because their online experience is terrible. I just failed to order twice online and will go elsewhere (Google Chrome says the site isn’t secure and won’t allow me to put in my credit card via autofill - whomever they hired to do their online ordering tech failed).

Yummy Thai food. Best Tom Kha soup I’ve ever had. The metal trays at lunch are a bit unusual, but the food is delicious.

Although there are very few vegan options here, I was pleasantly surprised with the Peanut Sauce Salad. They give you a lot of peanut sauce, on the side, which is great because I prefer lighter dressing. Truly, this was a great combination of flavors. Loved the crunchy bits at the top. It was very fresh and delicious. The photo doesn't show the actual green in the salad, but I assure you it's there and there's plenty of it. Very filling!

On a nice summer day, their unique patio is absolutely wonderful. And the server was very kind and courteous.

Hate leaving bad reviews, but we were really disappointed after dining here considering our bill and the food we got. First off, we were pretty rushed to order coming in when only one other table was occupied, so we didn’t have much time to actually look at the menu. The Golden tofu and Thai iced tea was alright, but the main dish I got was exceptionally flavorless, the green beans were extremely undercooked and squeaky when I bit into them, the chicken was bland and tough as well, both in my dish and my friend’s. Absolutely no spice in any of the food whatsoever as well. There are too many much better Thai places in Berkeley to eat here.

We ordered take-away and the quality was incredible! We enjoyed every dish we ordered. What we didn't finish kept very well and tasted just as good re-heated which is hard to find! The lady who took our order was incredibly kind and patient as well. Wonderful food and an amazing atmosphere!

I was very disappointed in our dinner here. The calamari was overcooked and the shrimp rolls were just shrimp wrapped in wonton skins and fried.The waitress never asked us how our dinner was or if we wanted anything else.The restaurant looks so nice but it was very noisey.
