“As Thai’s might say, the food here is aroi mak (VERY delicious). The the vibe and atmosphere brings such an authentic and familiar feel. I would certainly return to try more items and bring friends because what is thai food without sharing the experience?“

“I have been meaning to try this place for a while and it did not disappoint. Located in a beautiful white store front the food is just as good as the whole aesthetic of the restaurant.

I got Khao soi curry and a seafood noodle dish. It was fast delicious and fresh.

The service also was incredible. Totally mom and pop vibe where everyone hustles, is friendly and delivers just a great experience.

I would definitely come back.“

“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!“

“The food here is absolutely delicious. Tastes authentic, great spice. The atmosphere is not as great… it was cold when we were there and the metal chairs and lack of decor make it feel a little unwelcoming and industrial. It could use some warming up literally and environmentally. But they made up for it in TASTY food!!“

“Padsew very good flavor. There was a very friendly lady and then a not so friendly lady. We had a bit of a language barrier and the unfriendly one made sure to be scarce as I waited. The very friendly hostess righted the wrong quickly and I was grateful. I didn't appreciate how the other unfriendly one addressed me. The veggie padsew and the Golden potstickers were good. I don't really eat meat...but I tried it and it was a good texture and it wasnt dry. I also put the potstickers in my airfryer for 3 or so minutes to crisps them back up..the sauce was yummy 😋“

“This restaurant is out of the fray of crazy Berkeley traffic, in a quaint brick building off the beaten track. Parking was easy and we walked into a warm atmosphere with high ceilings, long tables with comfortable chairs and professional service. The food was exquisitely presented, and the taste of the food was intricate. It was the best experience that I have ever had at a Thai restaurant. I highly recommend it!“

“Saneh Bangkok is a fantastic Thai restaurant with great food and a really welcoming atmosphere.

The grilled pork skewers were excellent, very flavorful and nicely grilled. The Pad Thai was outstanding. We finished one plate and my son immediately asked for another, which says a lot. The crispy chicken is a must try as well, full of flavor and well cooked. We also tried their signature dish and it did not disappoint.

The Thai coffee was rich, sweet, and intense, definitely on the stronger side but very enjoyable if you like bold flavors.

Service was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant has a warm, cozy vibe that makes you want to stay and enjoy the meal.

We’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Fantastic food and amazing service!!“

“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!“

“So love this place! Food extremely fresh. First recommended and ordered by another, I sought it out again for lunch. Delightful. Took unused veggies and rice home which was great the next day.“

“Delicious food, great service, fun atmosphere!“

“First time eating in this restaurant and it didn’t disappoint. We had the steamed dumplings with crab, garlic fried rice, whole branzino with fish sauce and green beans with mushrooms and half half purple rice and jasmine rice. They were all delicious.
The steamed dumplings came out right away but we had to wait awhile for the next dish. Then the green beans and mushrooms came out which were perfectly crispy and in an oyster/fish garlic sauce. The next dish didn’t come out for a long time. We were so hungry that we essentially ate the entire side before our second two dishes came out.
It was obviously not our server’s fault. The kitchen could have timed it better.
We did not have any beverages nor dessert. The bill to $148 with an above average tip. We will be back but it’s not going to be a regular thing due to the price.“

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

“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!“

“Cool place (love the decor/style), nice staff & tasty food. Some dishes you will not find in the average Thai restaurant in the Bay Area. For example, the chef or owner is from northern Thailand so the menu features a top Northern Thai dish - Kao Soi noodle soup (beef or chicken), or the all time fav 'street food' grilled pork skewers (moo ping) served with sticky rice (ck out the menu on their website). I had the Pad Kemao Chicken (menu says beef but they are happy to make dishes with what you like & even have Beyond Meat dishes on the menu - cool to see stir fried basil with Beyond Meat (Krapao Beyond Neur)). The taste of my wok fried pad kemao was delicious, same or better than any I've had on prior trips to Bangkok. Glad to have discovered a solid Thai restaurant that doesn't have watered down flavors. Good to see they have a lot of gluten free and vegan choices on the menu too. Definitely will be back, keep up the good work!“

“This is my new favorite restaurant. I am always thinking about the food the day after. Lately whenever I am in Berkeley I stop here if I am hungry. The flavor of the food blows me away every time. I've been to about 10 thai restaurants around the bay and this is so far my favorite. I've had 6 different dishes off the menu and each one really impressed me with the flavor. Vegetables are very fresh and cooked well. The flavor of the sauces and how they season their food is just so good. The food is truly delicious. I can tell there are a lot of vegan and vegetarian options but also plenty for the meat lovers. Lots of seafood and even some duck. Ive had the pork, chicken, and beef. All delicious. The yellow curry was amazing. Nothing is too strong. The flavors are strong but balanced. Amazing food.“

“Roti with yellow curry $11
Great flavour, a disrespectful portion of yellow curry, a tablespoon or two worth... otherwise a great dish, just needs more curry! The
Chicken Pad Thai was solid for $16. Nice place to eat, will be back“

“I recently tried the chicken Khao Piek at this restaurant, a flavorful rice noodle dish reminiscent of Bánh Canh for those familiar with Vietnamese cuisine. While I was slightly disappointed that it did not include pork blood cubes, the dish was still enjoyable, enhanced by a generous amount of chili oil that added a pleasant kick. The service was warm and attentive, and the cozy atmosphere made the dining experience even more inviting. Prices were reasonable, making this restaurant a great option for both casual meals and more deliberate culinary explorations. Overall, the combination of tasty, well-prepared dishes, friendly staff, and welcoming ambiance makes this spot a strong choice for anyone seeking authentic flavors. I am already planning to return to explore more of the menu.“

“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.“

“Always the best food and best service. May has done a fantastically amazing job of improving an already fantastic offering. Thank you may for the wonderful dining experiences“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is a fabulous Thai Restaurant. You are greeted with a warm smile and then served really delicious food. I had curry puff balls followed by spicy prawns and bacon. Who doesn’t love prawns and bacon. The flavors were fabulous and the vegetables were so fresh and tasty. I will be back for more for sure. Thank you. Five stars from me.“

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

“Me and my bf came here for valentines day. One of the best dining experiences I have had in a long time. Friendly staff, delicious food, 0 misses. Can't wait to come back.

Our meal:

Prawn and garlic noodles, roti and curry, karaage chicken, Thai ice tea, sticky rice and mango.“

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

“This was my first time eating here, footnote. I’m not from this area. Had a group that went hiking and decided on Thai food after the hike. Went with the chicken yellow curry and Jazmyne rice. Overall, it was good and the service was very friendly. At the end, they brought out some snacks for dessert that were prepackaged.“

“Delicious! There was nothing that we regret ordering! Big servings. Very attentive servers even if it got busy! I’ll keep coming back!“

“This place is VERY CONSISTENT!!! The food is ALWAYS fresh and prepared well. I have yet to be disappointed. The staff remembers you and treats you like a special guest EVERY TIME“

“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. 💜❤️💚“

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

“We've only done takeouts from this spot. They have some tables for dine in but it seems most people get takeouts or delivery from here.

The Khao Man Gai (Thai style) favor is good and their soup is one of the best chicken soup I've had. However, they reduced the amount of the chicken recently (compared to when they just opened), and the thickness of the meat is also much thinner(1/4 or 1/3 of an inch at almost at the thickest part). I don't like restaurants that do this and would prefer they increase the price. Otherwise you get the food and realize it's not as filling as it used to be.

Considering it's just rice, sauce and cucumber as the other ingredients, I think the price they charge warrants more chicken meat.

5 stars for the flavor but minus 1 star for the portion size.“

“I’ve eaten here only one time and gotten take out a number of times. This is a great neighborhood Thai restaurant. Everything I’ve ordered, which is mostly the vegetarian options has been super solid. I love their pad prik khing. I do feel terrible every time I pick up my takeout that there are so few customers dining in. In 2026, I’m going to dine in here more often since they’re so nice!“

“This is a perfectly adequate thai restaurant. It appears to be a small family operation, and they were nice enough and service was decent and food was edible. I understand that this restaurant has been here a long time, so it seems like a reliable option.

The atmosphere is okay. It's just a small restaurant with plain decor. Fairly basic but clean.“

“Great place to start your night , or end it , open till 10:00“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Great place to enjoy a great dinner“

“Fantastic food, excellent service and nice ambiance! Everything is so fresh and delicious! I love this place!“

“Best Thai Restaurant here in the Philippines! Rated 5 stars!“

“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.“

“O order the pad Thai and cucumber salad on door dash. The food arrived very quickly and was the best Thai I ever had! I had!! And a great door dasher too. Food was piping hot and the cucumber salad was fresh and crisp. I am going to add the to my contact and will visit them with friends. SIMPLY “

“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!“

“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“
