50 Best Thai Restaurants near San Leandro

“They just hosted our annual Post-Thanksgiving Dinner. We were a party of 30. So much amazing food, and the service was wonderful. There are some special dishes we ordered that needed to be pre-ordered. “House Special Crab and Curry Crab” did not disappoint. We will definitely be back to try more dishes when we are in town.“

“Tofu was a protein option for most dishes, and the server confirmed that the dishes would be vegan. I got the larb with fried tofu which was tasty but rather salty. Even though the restaurant was quite full, it was not too loud. Updated from previous review on 2026-03-10“

“Today, I discovered a Taishan-style restaurant. I haven’t seen it for a long time. It’s the taste of my childhood. You can add your favorite salty soup balls and ingredients according to your own taste. Their steamed rice is also pretty good, nutritious and delicious. Nothing I ordered was too bad, the dishes were rich and colorful, and the service was very good. I will try their rice bowls and skewers next time. The ones ordered by the next table looked very good, and they also have several nourishing soups. I recommend everyone to try it!“

“We brought our friend here to celebrate his birthday because we wanted to gift an experience. We saw you featured on Check Please . . . And you guys WOW’d us beyond our expectations!! Amazing staff! And amazing food . . And yes, amazing cocktails!! Down to the last finishing touches ! We will definitely be back !“

“wonderful owners. good concept.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Fantastic food and amazing service!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Been going to CG for years. I'm stuffed and sleepy so short review. All the food at CG is good you can't go wrong. Get the sampler plate that sausage will change your life the crispy rice that's a meal and a deal. I need a nap.“

“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, would recommend, love it 😋“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“I had a great experience at this Thai restaurant. It has a nice cozy mom n’ pop atmosphere to it. Service was good, I ordered a cup of tom yum soup with a side of jasmine rice and it was very yummy. My friend who I went with is from Castro Valley and they always order the Pad Kee Mao. Super solid option if you’re craving noodles and a bit of spice! This is just my preference but I really liked how they used glass cups for water rather than plastic like how most restaurants use. The only thing that I wish they included on their menu is a papaya salad. I love papaya salad so I was a bit disappointed when I couldn’t find it on the menu. Overall, this was a solid Thai restaurant so I would recommend trying it and supporting their small business!“

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“Great place to enjoy a great dinner“

“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!“

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

“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“

“My son and I were the first customers of the day and we were greeted so pleasantly as well as asked immediately if we’d like to see all the specials I love this place and frequent it often It never disappoints , the food was delicious and served promptly...I recommend it to anyone“

“Food was decent overall. I ordered the tom yum expecting a classic, flavorful soup, but it didn’t quite meet expectations in terms of taste. I ended up switching to the tom kha, which was better and more enjoyable.

Portions were reasonable and the overall experience was fine. Not outstanding, but a decent place if you’re in the area.“

“It’s a wonderful place to satisfy your cravings for Thai cuisine. The cozy and clean atmosphere with friendly staff adds to the overall dining experience.“

“I have been to Top Thai double digit times, and have always been met by warm and friendly staff. All of the dishes I have tried are good, but the pad see ew is absolutely top notch. Even though the exterior is unassuming, don't miss this neighborhood gem!“

“This spot is so cute, clean and service is fast and friendly! The food was delicious and they even substituted chicken for the rib for me! They gave a me lot of chicken too. Will absolutely visit again!“

“Me and my co - workers loved the food that we ordered. We definitely come back and recommend“

“The food was so bomb! It’s really amazing foood even it’s so prizey!“

Hadn't fed my self breakfast and I was looking.

Affordable delicious nutrious and great service! I recommend your taste buds get on over there! Ya hear🙉?.. oh yeah.. Ya read 📚📖👓“

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

“I order here all the time for my family (usually pick-up)
It's always super delicious and very good quality.
The other night, they forgot to give me one dish I had ordered - I called to let them know I was headed back there so they started making it right away. Then was given a Thai iced tea upon arrival (for my troubles) - Super nice of them - Will come back for sure :)“

“we made a reservation ahead of time and ordered the prix fixe brunch, and they customized the menu to accommodate our dietary restrictions (pescatarian). the food was delicious, the atmosphere was so sweet, and the staff was incredibly thoughtful. 100% would go back! (personal faves: iced ube espresso, lava eggs, smoked sturgeon dip, prawn and fish stew, beignet with ube condensed milk and warm soy milk and bean drink)“

“I usually order the basil chicken or the green curries but everything is good there. Be careful if you request spicy, mom in kitchen will think you want it “Thai spicy” if you don’t elaborate. Thai spicy dropped me and I love spicy. 😂“

“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 🙏“

“Food is always excellent! And the staff is always amazingly friendly and wonderful!“

“This is a nice Thai BBQ place. We got Phad See-Ew with chicken, Chef's Special Seafood Combo Plate which came with Shrimps, scallops, mussels, squid. Fried shrimp & fried calamari, with a chicken fried rice. Everything was good except I felt the fried calamari and fried shrimp had to much breading on them we ended taking some of the breading off. Overall everything had good flavor, also the prices listed online are not the correct prices in store.“

“Outside of the cramped space, this is truly a gem in oakland.
Ive had their fried chicken fried rice, Tom Yum Soup and their version of traditional wings
Instantly you can appreciate the quality upon trying their food from the first bite as you will be left satisfied from the meal as all the items were delectable.
Will return to have more of their soup“

“Vientiane Café is a solid spot for flavorful Laotian cuisine. The dishes are fresh, well-seasoned, and generous in portion. The service is friendly, though it can be a bit slow during busy hours. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it a great choice for a relaxed meal with friends or family.“
