With the semblance of a Thai backpacker outpost, the wood finishes, tropical garden entry and intimate booth seating make for a truly unique dining experience in Oakland.
An elderly mom-and-pop duo serve home style Thai cooking — smaller portioned and very reasonably priced, making it perfect for sharing multiple dishes family-style.
Roti (crispy fried flatbread with fragrant curry dipping sauce), an excellent starter. Green Papaya Salad, crisp, refreshing and just the right amount of funk from fish sauce. Pineapple Duck Curry from the daily specials, exactly as described — tasty but not the best. Pad See Ew (with choice of protein), pretty standard.
While dishes may not change your world, the setting makes for a unique dining experience worth driving for. Cash only.

I've lived in the area for almost 20 years and have eaten in and plenty of takeout, so I'm not sure what people mean when they say new ownership. The fantastic couple (and their daughter?) run things and do s great job. The food has gotten better over the years, but be sure to order with a spicy level as it won't be as flavorful when 'mild/not spicy' (you shouldn't be eating Thai if you can't handle some heat). Eating in is a great experience as from when you approach to when you leave the atmosphere, setting, and service are all very Thai. We joked and laughed with the older male owner and happily ate everything served. Highly recommend for the atmosphere, food and service.
Vegetarian options: Just about everything can be made vegetarian, veggies, tofu, but ask about soup and curry bases.
Wheelchair accessibility: Not great. Similar to Bangkok. ?

My girlfriend and I have been coming to this restaurant for over a year. I was a bit nervous about the management changes that recent reviews were mentioning since we really liked the food and quality of service that we had come to expect from the previous management but I can say that the restaurant remains great :) The prices are a bit lower, the food is different in taste but still very good, the service is good, and contrary to other reviews I actually found the portions to be slightly larger than previously.If you were a fan of the previous food and management I would suggest to give the new food and management a shot :)
Please update your Google map opening time. The restaurant won’t operate lunch anymore. I like the food inside though.

Town classic! Real Thai food at its finest. Country home style cooking!! Barbarian soup, coconut milk soup, curry shrimp pancake… all fire.

This was my go to thai restaurant for years! Literally loved it so much, was always worth the drive to East Oakland. But I guess the original owners came back and it's not the same quality or service. The portions are smaller as well. The older gentleman was very friendly and apologetic about the service but won't be returning unfortunately. Does anyone know where the people who were running it for the past ten years went? I heard somewhere in Alameda.

First time here, this place is literally a mom & pop operation. The food and service were fantastic. The gentleman informed us that they just came back after 10 years away, and that it was their second day back. They're doing such a great job. The food is fantastic, the standouts were the panang curry, chicken wing appetizer, and smoky cashew chili sauce. The prices are incredibly reasonable. We will be back!
