LOVE THIS PLACE!! This is the best Thai food I’ve had in California! There drunken noodle has an amazing flavor!!
SO heard some rave reviews about this place when he was at Berkeley so had to try at least a dishFood/Taste/Flavor: 3/5 (maybe a 4 for college food) - Basil Chili Chicken (4) was a generous portion with rice. You can really taste the basil on the chili oil but the chicken itself was dry. There were some pieces of basil, bell pepper, and onion that helped cut through the dryness but you definitely need some sides to help with this dishAmbience: N/A - to go only but there are some benches and tables in the center of the plaza to eat atService: 3/5 - cashier lady did not seem like she wanted to be there so we ordered from the kiosk insteadValue for price: 3/5 - do note that the menu is outdated and the price is about $1.50 more per dish and they charge $0.10 for plastic bag for take out even though it's the only option
Very nice dinner with my family. Good food. I personally like their Basil Chicken fried rice. It was yummy
Beef Short ribs were amazing!! Totally recommend
Great Pad See Ew, and good overall Thai if you're looking for a place that is a little less "saucy." The woman working the front seems like she definitely doesn't want you there, but the food normally comes out fast so whatever.
I love Thai basil from the very depths of my soul. The staff is so speedy, and the food is immaculate. Every since the pandemic started, this place has been my comfort food. There is no indoor dining, but the outer courtyard always has an empty seat. My friend swears by thier pineapple curry, and I love the Pad Kee Mow noodles with high spice. For rainy days the Tom Kha soup hits the spot. Highly recommend for anyone and everyone (unless you have peanut allergies).
My favorite Thai restaurant in Berkeley. Quick service, affordable, and great flavors.
Loved the basil chili chicken! Got it Thai spicy (max spicy) which added a great kick. The flavor was great and there was some sauce that mixed really well with the rice.
Oh Thai Basil, how far have you fallen...I've been coming back for over 10 years and the quality has definitely hit rock bottom now. Garlic pepper chicken is my go-to, and I haven't been able to find another Thai place that make it like they do but today the chicken quality has gone downhill. It's so dry you're pretty much eating cardboard.With the abundance of Thai places in Berkeley, what this place is wayyyy down the pecking order considering what they are charging now.
I love the Pad Thai! It does get busy during lunch, but I didn't have to wait that long for my food. This place is my go-to Thai restaurant in Southside!
