They serve a wide variety of colourful, delicious meals. We enjoy being off the main thoroughfare and tucked away here. The service has always been very friendly and welcoming .“

Me, my brother, and my mom would always come here at least once a week and the owner always had such a welcoming attitude whenever we came in. The absolute care and hospitality put into this little restaurant really made my family want to keep coming back here again and again. I really hope that this place blows up! I RECOMMEND THE PAD SEE EW HEAVY ‼️“

“Seems to be primarily a pick up/take out place but I highly recommend stopping by and grabbing a table if you’ve got the time! The interior is beautifully decorated with a fountain that adds a delightful ambiance. Obviously, the food was fantastic, and the servers are also really attentive and kind. Five stars, ten out of ten, give them a Michilen already ⭐️“

“I don’t rate places often, but when I do, it’s because I seriously love them. This place has become one of my favorite places in the region after just one visit!! Perfectly balanced and satisfying flavors and unreal quality of the dishes. Service was very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere was great as well. Every dish was even better than I had imagined and seriously just so good. I texted my friend about it after the first bite to say how amazing it was. Will be taking tons of people here!“

“My friend and I were able to get in on a Friday night, and I felt the experience was very good. The service was prompt and the ambiance was definitely classy and East Bay. I think the tables were slightly close to each other, creating an intimate environment but also easier to hear others talk. I was not super impressed with the food, but I think this is personal and my experience is not universal.“

“As soon as you walk in- you are greeted by courteous & inviting staff. We ordered cocktails at the bar while we waited for a table. The wait was less than 5 min and the place was packed with happy diners. My pumpkin curry was pleasing to the eye and tasted delicious-although some pieces of pumpkin were raw. The lemongrass chicken medium spiced was delicious (full of flavor with the bright lemongrass & herbaceous spice). We shared the mango salad with shrimp -medium spice. Fresh & crisp & the shrimp were poached to perfection. We WILL return. *Ask for Alice.“

“We got take out . All the stuff we ordered came correct . I thoroughly enjoyed this crab fried rice. The sauce it came with was a flavor bomb! My cousin is allergic to shellfish but it was so good he ate some anyways . I guess it was worth the runs. Their samosa , pad Thai and soups were great !“

“Delicious food, great service, fun atmosphere!“

“At this restaurant, I ate some of the most delicious Thai food I have ever eaten. I had a late dinner with my sons to celebrate my birthday, and i had the best time. This is a small family-owned restaurant where the husband cooks, and the wife, Clair, hosts. They are both very professional and coordial individuals. The place is small, but their food is full of flavor.

I highly recommend the Thai Table Oak Grove restaurant.“

“This place has been a staple for years. From the last time I was here until tonight… it hasn’t changed one bit. The quality and the service are on point and I just want to thank everyone here on this team and the ownership too. Cheers 🙏“

“Really yummy food and great service. Went for lunch with some friends and we enjoyed our meals. It a small place(indoors) but outside the patio is pretty large. The server was so nice and friendly. We were the only ones there so we got VIP treatment lol. I ordered the lunch combo yellow curry with veggies, chicken spring rolls and Thai tea. It didn’t miss a beat! The flavors were amazing and the veggies were cooked perfect. We also had the chicken wings as appetizers. GET THEM! They were delicious. Definitely coming back.“

“This restaurant is a hidden gem, run by a very kind, cheerful man who’s a fantastic host. The food is delicious and generous, and the menu is flexible—especially for vegetarians, with no extra charges. Plus, it has its own parking! It’s my third time here, and I’m absolutely delighted!“

“Great customer service and the food was delicious. Our eyes were bigger than our stomach, but hey, great leftovers 😋“

“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. “

“Went there for dinner on NBA All Star Game Night. We discovered this place while hunting for a place to eat in the neighborhood. We ordered Pad Woon Sen, Yellow Curry, Mango Curry and Pineapple Fried Rice. Each dish was flavorful, and the Curries go superbly with white rice! Wait staff was very attentive, the decor was tasteful and uncluttered, making the experience very enjoyable. We will be back to try the other offerings!“

“Great food and service, would recommend, love it 😋“

“A hidden gem in Walnut Creek and an absolute must-try for Thai food lovers! After trying almost every Thai spot in the Bay Area, this one stands out as the best, hands down. The flavors are vibrant, perfectly balanced, and every dish we tried was a home run.

The service was just as amazing, the waitress was so warm and welcoming, and the chef personally came out to check on us, which added such a thoughtful touch to the experience. Little details like that truly set this place apart.

Don’t miss the Pad Thai, it’s hands-down the best I’ve ever had. The sweet and sour pineapple tofu dish was another standout, with a perfect blend of tangy and sweet flavors.

They even boxed up our leftovers for us, which was the cherry on top of an already fantastic experience. This place has won me over, and I’ll definitely be back often. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and try this spot—you’ll be hooked!“

“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.“

“Omg I tried this place for the 1st time not only was the service great but the food was soooooo delicious! I will most definitely be eating here again! I had the green curry salmon which was listed as one of the customers favorite and it is definitely my favorite dish here !! It's a must try“

“Nice, located of Willow shopping center. Several eateries nearby including a drive in Starbucks. I looked around and decided to go for the Won Thai restaurant, ordered the lunch special, fried catfish with rice, on the plate I got a colorful plate with a scoop of steam rice next to pan fried filet of catfish with plenty of green beans, fresh tomato pieces, sautéed on a lite curry sauce and sliced purple and green cabbage garnish.“

“The praram sauce was delicious. They made the sauce vegetarian on request and it was absolutely delicious despite a modification. The veggies in the praram vegetables dish were cooked to perfection as well. Waiting for next visit 🤤

Vegetarian options: Truly vegetarian alternatives on request. At a lot of places the vegetarian swaps taste fishy (pun unintended). No such thing here, their vegetarian dishes are truly free from meat/fish. Thank u Pagarung 🙏“

“Very nice and welcoming staff!Ordered takeout on a slow night and felt very calm while waiting for my food.I had the pad see ew with pork and the spicy basil with chicken. Good amount of spice for me with an average spice tolerance palette. Lasted me two meals!“

“one at the best place in lake Merritt to enjoy delicious and flavoring Thai food muchas gracias“

“We love this place. The food is absolutely delicious. They have a variety of options. My son and I like to come in here and eat. The service is pretty decent. The atmosphere is very nice in here. It's probably the best Thai food in Walnut Creek“

“My mother lives at Walnut Creek, and when I come to visit her.I'd like to take her out to lunch. She wanted Thai food this last visit. I came upon this little restaurant when searching for restaurants in the area. We were both pleasantly surprised. The food was clean and fresh and just enough. It was the sweetest little spot, very chill, perfect from me and Mama. It appeared to be a family owned local spot. I believe it was the daughter who served us, and she was very accommodating and kind. It appeared that she knew all the other patrons.They must have been regulars. We will definitely be going back!“

“I really loved the Lao Special menu. You can order small portion of diverse foods. I ordered several items I have never eaten before, and they were all fantastic. The fermented pork sausage was the most "out there" dish from an American point of view: I didn't even know such a thing existed. Nice interior, and the service is great. This is some of the best Laotian food I've tried in the Bay. It turns out the portions are pretty generous, so I took soke home for another meal.“

“Great place to enjoy a great dinner“

“good service very good food“

“We LOVE Thai Village. The food is good: love the Pad Thai, Thai style Brown Rice, Thai, Ginger Mushroom, Basil Stringbean Eggplant, Veggie Fresh Rolls. Had an amazing whole fried fish--forget what that is called! Affordable. Friendly staff. Not Fancy.“

“Haven't been to Chai Thai Noodle for a while, way before the pandemic. Probably 5-6 years, sister said they have $5 happy hour noodles samplers (4 kinds of noodles- see photos for the specials).I suggested order 2 different bowls of noodles per person if you're hungry, that's only $10! The boat noodles were our favorites.“

“Outstanding flavors , packed with protein and vegetables. Quantity was good.“

“old skool cool. i've had many a meal here. it's probably responsible for how much i weigh after college.......actually i went here even more after graduating. everything is good. in particular pepper garlic chicken and basil eggplant chicken are two tasty standouts. good pad thai and pad see ew too. thankfully i work a little farther away from campus now, so i can't go here too often....but maybe i'll go again...“

“(The name is a fake one, used because I’m uncomfortable using my real name online) bought Pad Thai (hope I spelt that right) and it was amazing, super delicious and flavorful. I only bought one but honestly I should’ve bought more, it was that good. The portion size was pretty big and left me full after. Customer service was great too! The restaurant has a cozy feel to it, it’s very inviting. Will definitely be coming back more frequently and with friends. I also bought some deserts last last visit, specifically coconut ice cream, fried banana, and mango rice, all three were delicious especially the ice cream! And I’m not even a fan of coconut ice cream but I love theirs. I think I found my new favorite spot!(The photo attached is after I already had a few bites, I forgot to take a picture before)“

“Got the BBQ deluxe to go.... definitely good and convient, hope I have the time to dine in next time...really want to try there duck and soup..

Only lil bummed that when I got home after reading there menu I asked for some of there soy sauce to try, instead I got a single packet of retail bought...

But I am definitely going to go back no doubt!

There was a great atmosphere....being a sunday evening most orders were to go but it seemed like most the people there worked there and or were visiting them...making it a very friendly environment.“

“Every dish on the menu is 😋 delicious! My favorites are papaya salad, Banh Mi, BBQ Lemongrass Trio“

“Yummy food with good environment ♥️♥️“

“I love the atmosphere and the service.

However when you look at the menu you think the prices look reasonable ($13 for pad see ewe) is maybe $3-$5 less than the next Thai restaurant, but when you get the meal you see why its cheaper - theyre like half orders. I had to get 2 noodles dishes ($26 together) before I felt satisfied with the portion.. but that makes it cost more than any other place - really.

So id suggest, coming here for a light brunch would be a fantastic idea, because their Thai iced tea portion is ridiculously large 😆 and super reasonably priced at i believe $4?

But if youre super hungry, dont come here or you'll find yourself having to order 2-3 dishes to fill up, & that wont be cheap.“
