patrick hooker: best tripe I have ever had. Tomato sauce and gorgonzola in a carzuela....soooo goood...
Becca H: Pizza is amazing. Bread with sesame in the crust and butter is also amazing.
Ashley Mowrey: Get the gin and tonic and pizza with nettles or chanterelles. Everything is so damn good. Get in when they first open, no need to be picky about when you eat, just get in when you can.

joanne: unsurprisingly, the noodles here are the highlight. their pad see ew is the best i've had anywhere. the real stars are the noodle soups: five-spice duck, pork leg stew, or beef curry are my favorites. Read more.
Cameron W: The Pad Kee Mao and special pork leg stew are delicious. Be careful if you order anything spicy, it is Thai hot here. The sweet sticky rice and mango is a fun dessert treat.
Richard Chen: Ordering the pork leg stew? Ask for extra fat.

Brian Strauss: Really like the nam kaow (fried rice salad with lettuce cups). Very good food, off the beaten path Oakland.
Jonno Norton: Consistently horrible service. Nice kids, but they do not know how to run a restaurant. You'll fight through it for the amazing food though.
Dana Berry: Hella slow service
