“Great food and service. My earring came off during dinner and I didn’t discover that it was missing until I got home. I called the next day and they went out of their way to find my favorite Christmas earring.“

“Great food, Indoor dining and excellent service!“

“Fantastic food and amazing service!!“

“wonderful owners. good concept.“

“I had such an amazing dining experience here! Every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious, and you can really tell that the restaurant puts a lot of care into both the quality of the ingredients and the presentation.

The Strawberry Salad was an unexpected highlight. It was fresh, vibrant, and beautifully balanced. The sweet and refreshing dish that was flavorful.

The Crab Fat Fried Rice was one of the highlights of the meal. It was fragrant, rich, and packed with umami flavor. They served with seafood sauce on the side that make the dish more anthentic flavor.

The homemade Shumai was juicy, tender, and tasted freshly made. Every bite was packed with flavor and had a delicate texture. The sauce is exactly Thai flavor taste.

One dish that completely exceeded my expectations was the Fried Tofu. It was unbelievably crispy on the outside while remaining soft and silky on the inside. It’s easily one of the crispiest fried tofu dishes I’ve ever had.

The service was warm, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit. Combined with the cozy atmosphere and exceptional food, this restaurant truly delivered an unforgettable dining experience.

If you’re looking for authentic Thai cuisine made with fresh ingredients and incredible flavors, this place is a must-visit. Every dish we tried was outstanding, and I can’t wait to come back and explore more of the menu. Highly recommended!“

“We just had dinner at Bangkok By The Bay and highly recommend it. The food was super tasty: we got Pad Makuer with tofu, brown rice, and a special that I think was called Choo Chee Salmon. The vegetables were all really tasty and nicely cooked, and the tofu and salmon were really good. The service is great, they were attentive and helpful--even brought a bed for our dog, and some water for her too. The outdoor seating is quiet and pleasant, not right on the street, with the additional nice element of the sound of the fountain nearby.“

“The food was soo delicious!! 10/10 recommend the Yellow Curry with Chicken. Gorgeous ambiance and amazing service. The Thai tea was also delicious. My first time here and would definitely recommend this place. Great price too! The Curry comes with rice also!“

“Really cute little place which actually reminded me of being back in Bangkok! Delicious food, especially their soup which opens the lunch special. Super nice people running the place and serving here and very welcoming to my small dog. I will return!“

“Loved the decor and the vibe，great place to hang out with friends.The food was absolutely delicious! The flavors were spot on.If you're in the area, this place is a must-try!“

“I rarely eat in here, but when I do I enjoy the atmosphere and service. Much more frequently, I do take out, and it is always great. The ingredients taste fresh and perfectly seasoned, and it is always on time. HB is probably my favorite spot for take out in Oakland.“

“Oh how I miss Anchalee! Beautiful cozy decor and the food is amazing. I have great memories of this place. Time to make my way back to enjoy.“

“Had to take my daughter to UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland and we were looking for a good place to have lunch before her appointment. My daughter spotted this restaurant and we are absolutely in love. Clean, comfortable eating area inside and outside. Variety on the menu and best Thai food we’ve eaten in a long time. Amazing flavors and portions are just right. And let’s not forget the Thai tea, best everrr! Seriously highly recommend for lunch and dinner if you are in the Oakland area.“

“boat noodle soup rice ball salad larb fish is my favorite 1|2 lemongrass chicken papaya salad sticky rice“

“Pork jowl fried rice is 🔥 We will be back for that and the fried chicken wings. The cod was delicious as well. Definitely hoping to try the pad Thai and duck curry next time.

The logistics are a bit tricky; leave 10-15 minutes for parking and expect to navigate some narrow and uneven roads. I would also not rely on the restaurant to respond to calls or texts very quickly. Changing a reservation within 48 hours is allowed by policy but not easy.“

“This place is easy to drive by and miss, but I recommend you don't. What a delightful experience! Not fancy, but still I like the decorations and open space (the high ceilings), which is a good combination of casual with some classic Thai touches. The food is fantastic. I had Pumpkin Curry with tofu and vegetables, and it was superb. Service is very friendly and accommodating (I requested some additional pumpkin curry sauce, and they even brought out that with more chunks of pumpkin, no charge). Nice vibe and good, lively energy, but not too loud. It was clear all customers were enjoying the place and the food. When I got the check I was also pleasantly surprised, as the bill was lower than expected. Give it a try!“

“Love this place!“

“Authentic fresh ingredients/spices, excellent customer services and now my fav thai restaurant ! If you haven’t tried it do so soon😋“

“My family loves Bangkok Thai. The yellow pumpkin curry is delicious, as are the salads, pad Thai, pad see-ew, fried rice, spring rolls, and fried banana with coconut ice cream for dessert. It’s a great place to celebrate a special occasion or just to gather with friends. We will be back soon. 💜❤️💚“

“Ate here 4 times. 1: salmon w fish, 2nd: branzino w lime , 3: seabass eggplant and 4th: sweet sour fried pompano. all of them were excellent. thai fish cakes and mushroom dumpling for appetizers were great . My wife had Tom yum soup and coconut pad Thai : both of which she loved . our service was great as well. we live in San jose but we're up in Berkeley for about a few weeks and this Thai restaurant is better than any in South Bay. highly recommended!“

“Think what a great Thai restaurant should be? and Summer Summer is that!“

“I'm not a fan of spicy food, but I am a fan of flavorful and delicious food! This place is the real deal, and worth EVERY dime spent. I can customize my food by asking for nothing spicy... and they comply! However, I must say that I'm addicted to the Crab Fried Rice!!! I don't have to customize any of it. I was even brave enough to order the Tom Tom soup which is Hot and Sour soup. This soup is a tasty medicinal soup for any stomach issues or cold and flu issues. What I like the most about this soup 🍲 is that my feet are dancing while I am basking in this flavorful dish You owe it to yourself to get wrapped up in the warmth and and flavorful aroma while healing your body and soul. I call this soup "A vacation in a bowl" and I challenge anyone to step up and try it, You'll thank me mm for the recommendation 😎👍. Toodles to all as I send you blessings, peace 🕊️ and safety to you and your loved ones ☺️🙏😎.“

“I definitely enjoyed the Mango Fried rice dish along with the garlic noodles. Had Thai Iced Tea, which is always a treat. I did call this order in for pick up. When I got there I had to wait a minute, because they were busy but it wasn't long. They gave me an extra Thai iced tea on the house, I didn't need it. Yet it shows the type of business I'm eating at. The ambiance is very welcoming. The art work on the walls of the culture is beautiful. Would recommend friends/family to come and try this place out.“

“My son and I were the first customers of the day and we were greeted so pleasantly as well as asked immediately if we’d like to see all the specials I love this place and frequent it often It never disappoints , the food was delicious and served promptly...I recommend it to anyone“

“AAAAHHHHH-MAZING FOOD♡ MY HUSBAND AND MY FAVORITE NIGHT OUT DINNER PLACE♡♡“

“The standard Thai menu items like green curry and pad see ew were unusually good. The “Thai home cooking” menu items like “mee cook”and “custard bread” dessert were bland and not tasty.“

“Vegetarian options: Most dishes can be vegetarian, lots of tofu and veg options

Parking: Plenty of street parking nearby and in the lot nearby.

Kid-friendliness: They have kid friendly glasses and kids menu. My kids love the crispy fried tofu. “

“good service very good food“

“Just wrapped up a fantastic dinner at Sukko Thai and I have to say, every dish hit the mark. We ordered the chicken pad Thai, mango fried rice, and basil eggplant, and honestly, it was tough to pick a favorite.

The pad Thai had that perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and savory, with chicken that was tender and not overcooked. The mango fried rice was a standout for me. Sweet chunks of ripe mango paired with perfectly seasoned rice made for a dish I'm already thinking about ordering again. And the basil eggplant? Bold, aromatic, and packed with that fresh Thai basil flavor that you just can't fake.

What really impressed me was how fresh everything tasted. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in their ingredients. No heavy, greasy aftertaste, just clean, vibrant Thai flavors done right.

If you're in the mood for authentic Thai that delivers on both flavor and quality, Sukko Thai should be at the top of your list. We'll definitely be back.“

“The food is amazing! We had a great experience“

“Honestly I love the food, the interior, and the menu - the food is delicious, creative, a little upscale feeling and clearly a lot of attention and care is put into it from ingredients to preparation. I love the variety and seasonality, and it’s one of the few places where you can get those delicious little coconut griddle cakes, and things are easy to share and portions are nice. AND your thai coffee/tea is made with CONDENSED SWEETENED OAT MILK!!!! WHAT?! (I cannot do dairy so this is the best news ever)

Interior is super charming and the seating is very comfy and bathroom is clean, cute, service is always friendly and the staff presents well. My huge gripe - believe it or not - is the service is inconsistent. One time I went there when there was barely anyone in the restaurant, and only one person was working and, it took an eternity to get served. And then I went today, the restaurant was full, and there were two or three servers working, and literally we were getting interrupted every five minutes, asking if we’re doing OK, people coming to the table to pour water, telling us the kitchen is about to close, asking again if everything’s OK, too many concerns, etc., like too attentive to the point of not being able to have a conversation - insanely annoying. Also, the restaurant is quite small inside, and yet they blast music SO loud loudly that everyone is shouting to have a conversation, and because the space is small, you can hear your neighbors TOO WELL if they raise their voice even a little bit. REALLY ANNOYING when you’re trying to enjoy a cute lunch.“

“We had such a wonderful experience with Thai Rice Spoon Catering! They had great communication throughout the entire process, were flexible with our options, and gave us helpful recommendations on what to order, which made planning so easy.

They arrived a few minutes early, and the food was warm, fresh, and delicious. Our guests absolutely loved it, and many went back for seconds!

They also provided plates, utensils, and serving spoons, which made setup and cleanup so much easier.

Highly recommended for your next event!“

“I order the pumpkin curry. It was delicious. I also ordered the Tom Ka chicken soup. It was too tart, the chicken over cooked. A disappointment for a soup I usually love“

“Found them on Groupon! They did not disappoint! awesome food and service. definitely will be returning!“

“Wow. Drunken beef, chicken with green beans, and chicken satay were all amazing, Coming back next week with colleagues.“

“Great Place i absolutely love it here, lovely customer service.😇😊“

“The portion size was bigger than I thought ans overall wait time wasn't that long!

Ordered the Mixed Chicken Rice and both portion of the chicken was handful and taste pretty good! Also comes with a soup though didn't try that much.“

“Chang Thai is my favorite hidden gem. Small cozy Thai, Lao and Vietnamese cuisine.
Wife does all the cooking herself. Husband is very friendly and attentive. You will feel as if you’re visiting them at their house in Thailand! I love their Lao papaya salad! The best. You choose your own spice level. Everything is served fresh. Great to dine by yourself or with family and friends as well. Great value. Lots of options. And plenty of parking in their huge parking lot. The bus stops right in front! Believe me once you try my little gem. It will also become yours!!! Enjoy!😊“

“My favorite is Su Kho Thai...A hot and sour soup base with rice noodles, ground pork, pork, crispies. Great for a cold day like today.“

“FoodieLand created a mango sticky rice problem… and I’m not even mad about it. 😭

After shopping in Hercules, BB and I decided to stop by Taste of Laos because I’ve been craving mango sticky rice ever since FoodieLand. I had seen some really positive Yelp reviews, and after this visit, I can confirm the reviews aren’t wrong.

We started with the Prawn Blankets, which are seasoned prawns wrapped in a crispy wonton-style wrapper and served with jeow som, a sweet and tangy Lao chili dipping sauce. There are five to an order, and they were absolutely delicious.

Of course, the main reason I came was for the Mango Sticky Rice. I asked for extra coconut sauce (because we’re not doing things halfway around here 😭), and it came with fresh mango slices, pandan sticky rice, sweet coconut milk, and sesame seeds. Everything was perfectly balanced, sweet, and incredibly satisfying.

The service was exceptional. The ladies working in the dining room were warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind.

I told them I’d be back often because of my newfound mango sticky rice obsession, and I wasn’t kidding. In fact… I may have ordered another one to go. No judgment, please.

Definitely recommend and can’t wait to come back.“

“Good food & Good service 👌🏼“

“Delicious Thai food! Waitresses were very friendly & on top of making sure you’re drinks & hot tea were filled. I think we found our Thai restaurant & not very far from our house. ❤️“

“Of Berkeley's many fine Thai restaurants, Chai Thai Noodles stands out. First of all, it adds Lao dishes to its huge menu. Second, it offers brown rice as one of three rice choices.

The papaya salad is heavenly. Also extraordinary were the red curry and the eggplant stir fry. With everything, there's a choice of spiciness. At the upper are spicy and Thai spicy.

We first found out about this restaurant after an incredible lunch at Chai Thai Noodles' hot food concession inside Berkeley Bowl West. The fried tofu in red curry sauce, with a side of brown rice, was one of the best meals I'd ever had ad Berkely Bowl.“

“Bua Luang is hands down the BEST Thai restaurant in the entire Bay Area, not just in Albany! I have been enjoying Thai cuisine all around the Bay for over 25 years. My family and I have Thai food at least 2-3 times a week, so we have tried many (and I mean MANY) Thai restaurants over the decades, and without a doubt we all agree that Bua Luang offers the freshest, tastiest, and most delicately prepared Thai cuisine of all. Every dish is packed with the freshest ingredients. The flavors and textures are amazing. Restaurants in Thailand don’t make a Pad Thai as delicious as the Pad Thai at Bua Luang—believe us, we have tried Pad Thai all over Thailand and we still longed for the Pad Thai at Bua Luang. The chef at this restaurant is a culinary master!

Not only are the dishes at this restaurant superb, the atmosphere is serene and delightful. The indoor space is clean, cozy, and modern with soft old-world touches and whimsical lighting. The ambiance music is very pleasant. It’s not too loud, and it’s easy to talk with and hear others in your party. If you choose to dine outside, you are greeted by the most beautiful outdoor seating area on all of Solano Avenue. The space is gorgeous and inviting. And then there is the staff: always friendly and attentive. They provide a truly exceptional dining experience all around.

This restaurant is an absolute gem. If I could give it more stars I would. Don’t walk, run to this spot!“

“Me and my co - workers loved the food that we ordered. We definitely come back and recommend“

“FOOOD WAS GOOD HERE! ate a while back when spending 2 days in berk and a big thai food fan. there was a line to enter and get a seat, we waited like 20 minutes but the duck fried rice and pad see ew were really good. my friend ordered a drink and thai boat noodles (which i had never tried unitl then) but the spice hit perfectly,“

“While staying across the road at the Mariott, I decided to walk around the shopping center and stumbled upon Tha Siam. I pulled up their website while standing outside, and looked at the "Chef's Suggestions" list. I thought the Grilled Short Rib with Garlic Noodle dish sounded good, so I went for it. Everyone inside was extremely friendly to me and polite while I placed my order and waited for a short while. I like my food spicy, but I forgot to say anything about wanting extra heat while ordering. The gentleman at the register said he could include hot sauces for me, and I thanked him. I got my food to go as I planned to walk back to the hotel to eat, but when I opened it 5 minutes later in my room I was not disappointed. The meal was beautifully put together, and it was delicious. I squeezed the orange over the marinated beef, and I added the extra hot sauces: fantastic! I highly recommend trying Tha Siam if you are in the area.“

“Came in here for a late night meal. I wasn’t expecting the inside to look so fancy haha. Great atmosphere and the waiter was really friendly despite the hour. The clear noodle soup was easy on the stomach yet extremely flavorful — lots of white pepper and other seasonings so I didn’t need to use any additional sauces. Tons of noodles and delicious chicken as well. It was exactly what I needed after a long day :)“

“If i could afford it, I would eat here everyday. I always come here for a tasty, filling homemade meal. I have gone to many Laotian restaurants after coming here and NONE compare to how good the food is here. The owner is gem, so sweet and so giving.“
