Food is highly recommended, staff service are excellent, they're friendly and very attentive.....the only problem is the tables. ALL OF THE WOODEN TABLE inside and outside, they are all sticky. Feel it to experiences it to yourselft. Im not sure if its the wood varnish or just the way they cleaned it with certain. chemical.

It's a newly added Thai restaurant to collection of college ave. Only indoor seating. Service and waiters are relatively responsive. There is full bar with kinda spicy drinks! I understand food flavor is tasty and subjective. Not so oily appreciated, however despite hot foods marked based on level of hotness, we group of four Thai-food lovers couldn't finish our meals due to very spicy 🌶️ hot taste. Sometimes so hot that no other taste could be felt! Not sure of the authenticity tbh to compare with other Thai foods or restaurants tried before. Anyways note that if you have some hesitancy on spicy foods. Try sticky rice and mango for sure to wash down all the spices 😉 Street Parking is doable.

Cute, bright spot for a quick and flavorful dinner. This place came highly recommended and it didn’t disappoint. The food was great and came out quickly — it was perfect, as we were getting close to our showtime at the Berkeley Playhouse. I had the praram plate, a delicious peanut-curry-chicken dish (and the closest thing I’ve found to Massaman curry here in the Bay!). Would highly recommend. The cocktails were bright and fruity, really tasty!

Not bad, really appreciated how it was not as oily like many other Thai restaurants. Would say the curries are spicier than the usual Thai places here, which I liked. However, the portions (especially the soups) are on the smaller side for the price. Also I saw people recommended Lord’s noodles but it was honestly kind of average, the pork belly was dry and flavorless. But the avocado green curry is really good, spicy and creamy.

Delectable. Pad Thai. Absolutely perfect. It's been a long time since I've had good Thai food. The avocado fresh rolls with peanut sauce was perfect. I could eat it all day long. The soup I added a photo off didn't have a lot of meat and was super salty but the kebobs and their sauce was tender and juicy. The staff was super super nice and attentive. Had a really great time here and would love to come again and sit on that little patio to enjoy. Definitely come here. Don't skip out because parking is tricky. It's worth it.
