Super fire Pad Thai. A bit expensive though but great portions so it is worth it. Workers are nice.
I love their vegetarian Cashew tofu plate, it is sooooo perfect and very flavorful. They have a lot of vegetarian variety on the menu too!! The atmosphere of the restaurant is very cozy and there is plenty seating outdoors and indoors. Everyone is so kind, I think the elders are doing an amazing job in the kitchen, and I feel so grateful every time because they never miss ^ * ^
My go-to while I was in college for both value and quality! The staff is very straightforward but that's exactly what thrives in busy areas like south Berkeley. Cash payment is preferred but you can pay with card at the kiosks. Food comes out quick and is perfect for a late night dinner or in between class lunch with friends. Tons of drink options in this plaza as well so Thai Basil pairs great with your favorite boba shop!
This Thai spot has been my college go-to for years. Whether it's a quick lunch between classes or a late-night takeout session, it never disappoints. We had to order to go this time. The Pad Thai is always flavorful, with just the right balance of sweetness and tang, while the Pad See Ew is a perfect comfort dish with its chewy noodles and rich soy sauce. And don't get me started on the fried egg rolls - crispy and packed with filling, they're a must-have. This place has been a part of so many great memories!
My go-to spot whenever I'm in town. Staff is always friendly and non rushy when getting your food. This time, I didn't get the curry like normal. Kept it simple with veggie egg rolls since I was craving fried food. Restutant is packed with tables and chairs. However, the space works. Let me not forget I like the kiosk machine less pressure or maybe more on what to get. This place is a must try, aI know for sure I'll be back 10+ years.
