It’s decent and tiny Thai restaurant in Oakland - family owned Restaurant. Interior is well decorated and well maintained. Outside of the restaurant is bit clumsy. Overall food is good and recommended to try. Prices are reasonable.

The house curry with seafood was AMAZING!!! The seafood was incredibly fresh and the flavor of the curry was PERFECT! I also ordered the crab rangoons - made with real crab meat and the filling was buttery. I’ve never experienced crab rangoons that good! The host, a gentleman, always cracks me up! He’s such a pleasure to chat with.

One of the best special curries I can remember from any Thai restaurant in the East Bay. Made my scalp sweat!

Nice atmosphere and location. We had the pad Thai and Khao soi. The food wasn’t bad, but very average compared to some other places in the area

I wouldn't recommend this restaurant. Here's my review: I walked in on a whim and was promptly seated. I'm on a mission to try some more places in the area. I got the chicken satay and the Panang Curry.
Chicken Satay - flavorless, literally tasted like chicken with no real flavor. The peanut sauce helped but just barely.
Panang Curry: curry had a little more flavor, it was slightly too salty. The beef wasn't that great compared to other Thai places I've been.
Passion fruit refresher- refreshing but didn't have passion fruit flavor. I am not sure what it is.
Service didn't bother me but I will comment on it - I dined solo and didn't get water until I had to ask for it. There was only one server, presumably since it's a small place with few tables. The server didn't come to check in on me. I don't think he checked in on the table next to me as well.
Bathroom has sticky floors. Utensils seem Old and worn.
Pro: relatively affordable for Thai in Oakland.

Absolutely delicious, and excellent service. I had the Pad Kee Mow - best I've ever had - and the Basil Lettuce Wraps were delicious with a very tasty peanut sauce. This is not my first experience with Thai food - I've eaten at many Thai restaurants in the Bay Area, and NYC and Washington, DC areas. I'll be coming back again.

This is exceptional food. The only negative is they really need more tables. It’s a tiny place and gets cramped and crowded during busy hours.
So glad to have found a go-to Thai place in Oakland. Great food, great atmosphere, and it holds up really well for take out.

Our new favorite local Thai place! Their curries are wonderful - especially the house curry. The restaurant is small, intimate and not loud! On a Friday and even Saturday early evening it was not packed and the atmosphere is chill and quiet. Looking forward to going back for a third time already :)

The more I visit this restaurant, the better their food gets. I'm thrilled to have found a consistently good Thai restaurant. The curry and coconut dishes are the highlights.

Ordered food to pick up from Charm on Saturday night and it was all delicious and freshly made. The crispy taro and yam starter was a treat as were our main dishes of veggie fried rice, green curry and praram tofu. All were perfectly cooked with quality ingredients and fresh & ready for pick up within 20 minutes. We’re definitely ordering from Charm Thai Bistro again.
