Sorely disappointed. We have been walking in front of this restaurant for so a couple of years, and always wondered how it was. Tonight we finally gave it try and boy, we didn't expect it to be this bad.Honestly, it is NOT Thai food. The larb had no fish sauce, huge chunks of meat, no onions, no rice powder sprinkled, no chili. The taste was basically ground chicken with some, maybe soy sauce and some mint. The Mussamun Nuer was not spicy and the curry lacked any Thai spices. The cut of meat was also subpar, full of fat and tendon. They put chinese green onions in all of the dishes. What's up with that?I don't understand why they have 4.5 stars. This is truly not ThaiAt least my dog is happy with leftovers.

No doubt, you will have a good time dining here! Six of us from four different countries all love the food at this place. Such a great Thai restaurant!The sizes of the dishes are definitely more than enough to get you completely full. (we were starving before we visited, and can barely finished everything.)

Everything we had was delicious. The beef and potato curry rice bowl had so much delicious meat! Very generous portion. Drunken noodles also so flavorful and good ?

Fantastic food and friendly staff. The fried lemongrass chicken wings are perfectly crispy and sweet. The roti taco was also amazing! We ordered a beef curry taco and the meat was unbelievably tender and juicy! Wanna try out the other menu too!

This place is so good! Their menu is a little outside the norm of a Thai place and in the best way. The same flavors and dishes but with unique spins. Be warned that medium spice is actually verrrrry spicy (and someone who likes spices). Definitely coming back to eat more plates (and order less spice).

Really good spot! Some good Thai comfort food. Some fun happy hour offerings as well.

Delicious authentic Thai restaurant with Thai spicy levels. Personally prefer it over Farmhouse Thai! Can’t wait to return and try more of the menu.Highly recommend: sticky pork ribs, gai gra prow (stir fry dice chicken basil), drunken noodles, roti, larb, mango sticky rice

We've come here a couple of times and the food is okay. This time I got the larb steak, which was quite pricy and had an overpowering flavor of cilantro and scallions. My partner got the massaman neur for the second time, which he loved. The fried rolls are good, as are the blistered green beans, but the roti flatbread was so incredibly oily that we couldn't finish it. It seems like their dishes are very hit or miss.

Delicious large serving of papaya salad. No nonsense, no wait, good service - exactly what I was looking for as a single diner on the way to an appointment with a few minutes to spare. Stop by and check them out!

This is my first time in Oakland so I just randomly pick a thai restaurant. OMG!! This is just like my dream. I try to find the thai street food just like what I always have when I was in Thailand. So finally I found it! Everything here are so incredible! I love deep fried E-sarn brisket, Kao soi noodle. But my most favorite is rice with pork stew! 10/10. ???I ended up order 3 more to take home. Definitely going back! ?
