“A rare treasure find!!! This restaurant captures the essence of a genuine Laotian dining experience with its authentic ambiance and homemade dishes that are unique to this establishment. The Laosausages and noodles are particularly delightful, and their tomato sauce is extraordinary. It truly reminds me of the authentic, home-cooked Laotian meals from back home! Also I love the waiter. Reminds me of my uncle!“
“We came here for dinner and had a great meal! We ordered the Thai iced tea to drink, the Lao sausages as an appetizer, and the pad see ew with beef, phao larb, and yellow curry with chicken as mains. Everything was good, and the service was excellent! The spice levels here are no joke, so definitely stay below levels 2-3. The owner is super nice, and she even explained the differences between Laotian and Thai cuisine to us!“
“I have had plenty of Thai/Laos food, with some favorites. Therefore, I believe my experiences meet the requirements to post a review. Without any biases, Sue's Kitchen is AMAZING!!! If I had a microphone, yes it would have been dropped. A must try, the Onion Rings and Calamari (yes it's fried, what did you think?). Any time I go to a 'new-to-me' Thai restaurant, I get the Pad Thai and Spicy Basile Chicken. Great dishes to use as a measuring rod. In my loud voice, "OUTSTANDING" !!! This is just the beginning of my journey through Sue's menu. Hope to see you along the way!!!“
“Really a hidden gem. David and family provide the best Cambodian food. You can tell they care about their food, as they offer to not give you the noodles cooked so you can have them at optimum level at home. Everything is good here but a bit spicy.“
“This was my first time there and I absolutely loved the food. We sat at the bar on a Friday night for dinner and there was a happy hour until 8:00. We ordered two appetizers and two entrees and put them between the two of us. There was so much food we had to take the leftovers home. I can't wait to go back and try more things on the menu! I give it ?????“
“We had diner at Thai Lao restaurant this evening with some friends and got a wonderful experience. The restaurant is very cosy and well managed, the food is delicious healthy and the plates well served. People are efficient, dedicated and polite. Special thanks to the boss, a wonderful women, Merci beaucoup et q bientôt!“
“I got food for takeout! Unfortunately no pictures because I was too excited to eat, haha. Ordered online and food was not quite ready when I arrived to pick up, but the lovely person behind the counter was eager to help me with packing utensils and extras. She asked if I wanted hot sauce and I agreed; came home to find out she had packed not only a container of chili sauce, but also individual containers of chili oil and chili powder!It also turns out I didn't need it; the spice here is real, haha. Not enough to stop me from eating it, but enough to remind me of consequences a day later.As others have noted, the pad see ew (and probably the pad Thai though I have not tried it yet) are sweeter than I am used to. I'm not sure why it gave me vibes of maple syrup.Everything was well packed. I got the khao soi (curry noodle soup) and none of it spilled in transit. I don't know why the restaurant was pretty empty around noon on a Wednesday, but I'm definitely coming back to try more of the menu.“
“Chai Tai Noodles in Berkeley, CA, exceeded my expectations with a dining experience that was nothing short of exceptional. The culinary journey began with the Larb, a dish bursting with freshness and a delightful blend of flavors. The aromatic and flavorful Yellow Curry left a lasting impression, showcasing the chef's expertise in crafting rich and nuanced Thai dishes.The Pad Thai at Chai Tai is a true standout, offering the perfect balance of spiciness and a medley of tastes that danced on my taste buds. Each bite was a symphony of flavors, highlighting the authenticity and quality of the ingredients.To top it off, the lunch deal at Chai Tai is an absolute win. Not only does it offer a diverse selection of delectable dishes, but it also provides excellent value for the culinary journey you embark on.The attentive service and inviting ambiance added to the overall positive experience, making Chai Tai a standout Thai restaurant in Berkeley. If you appreciate fresh, flavorful, and well-crafted Thai cuisine, Chai Tai is a must-visit. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to savor more of their delicious offerings.“
“Although I'm Mien, their khao soi here is 99% identical to the way my mom makes it. The sausage is also almost the same way my parents make it. The food here is very authentic (as most hole in the wall places that's situated in the hood) and homey, which is a good thing. Don't expect no Instagrammable type presentation or decor/ambiance, come here for the food. It is made to cater the Lao and a couple of the Laotian hilltribe communities here in Richmond and those who know these communities and love their food.“
