It's a welcome sight to see the original owners of the restaurant back! The husband is the waiter and the wife is the cook. I ordered the exotic herb salad and pad Thai. Both were authentic, flavorful, and simply delicious! It was takeout, so I didn't take photos.

Very greasy and many items didn’t taste fresh.

I arrived at 2:30 because Yelp says it's open. It looks so cool. My kind of place. It doesn't open until 5pm-- if they ever open. No one answers the phone. You cannot leave them a message because it's full. Good luck having dinner here.

Food is fantastic. The restaurant feels like you're in a small Thai village with lots of plants and tropical wood . The service is great from the family-run business. They once held an order a little past closing time for me when I was delayed by traffic. My favorite neighborhood spot

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.

I heard about this place from a friend, so we decided to try it out. When I entered the place, it felt a little bit like traveling through Narnia because the decorations inside were so different from the outside (the inside had a bamboo aesthetic). When we ordered, we asked if they had the Duck Curry because many other reviews mentioned it even though it wasn't on the menu. Since they were out, we ordered the following (for a total party size of 2):Fish Cake - This tasted good and was a little spicy (note: I generally don't eat spicy food). The sauce that came with it was spicy and sweet. The cabbage underneath the fish cake was probably just for looks because it was dry. Panang Curry - I liked this, though the beef was slightly tough (note: you can choose whatever meat you want). We were able to request that this dish be made Mild, though it still tasted a little spicy. The curry reminded me of gravy in terms of flavor and color. Jasmine Rice - You have to order this separately because no rice comes with the curry. Pad Thai - We decided to get this because of my low tolerance to spice. We chose pork for the meat, and this tasted good and freshly made. The noodles were on the thinner side, and they were really flavorful.Normally, one entree and one appetizer is enough to fill us, so we were surprised that we were able to finish everything. However, both of us were a little stuffed afterwards. Total price was $36.40 (before tip), so this was a really good value. It was cash only, but I think that might have been because the credit/debit machine wasn't working (they had a sign that I quickly skimmed). All in all I enjoyed this place. The food was good, and they had a lot of reusable dishware. There's a quaint charm to this place, and our server (who I'm guessing is also the owner) was very friendly.ECO NOTES (Dine-In)Dine-In Dishware: Reusable plates and bowlsNapkins: Single-use disposable paper napkinUtensils: Metal forkWater cups: Short-stem wine glass, though the default is a combination of Thai tea and water (as described by the server), which is interesting and also might be caffeinated. If you want just water, you'd likely have to specially request it.

Unfortunately this location has new ownership and the portions are half of what they used to be and at least the curry I ordered was not good. It barely even had any curry at all and it was full of grease. They should notify their customers of the different ownership.

I have never been a big Thai food person but this small mom and pop shop is amazing. The food is impeccable and the customer service is awesome. This is a small family tan business and you definitely feel the love in the food. My favorites are drunken noodles with chicken and my favorite is the crab fried rice. The rice is little expensive but they used real crab and you always have extra for later. Can someone say yummy

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.
