Very delicious and authentic Thai cuisine. Super friendly staff as well. A little hard to find due to it being in front lot of a motel with stairs on both sides of the building which made entrance challenging to figure out. Overall, will go back for the food and friendly staff.

It is the best authentic Thai food I have ever had. The service was great, and the place makes you feel at home. I like that both owners are hard-working couples; they deserve five stars.

Great little Thai spot in El cerrito. It has that local hole in the wall vibe with the food having a home made taste. Service was friendly, and the food is very affordable in comparison to what prices are these days at a lot of restaurants. Will definitely be back

This place is definitely the real definition of a hole in the wall!! It's located on top of a "dive" motel lol! I've passed it so many times and just finally got a chance to check it out with my family and we're glad we did! We ordered the sweet and sour chicken (yup. Seriously there is this Thai dish thst my hubby likes lol), pad see ew with pork and #44 which is a version basil beef but they out more veggies (e.g eggplants and bellpepper). Everything came out fairly quickly and they were YUMMMMMYYYY! My picky toddler ate a lot and did not mind the tiny bit of heat from the #44 lol. The pad see eew was a bit wetter than what I would.like, but the portion was sooooo generous,.not just the noodles but also w the meat and veggies (broccoli). Actually, all three dishes were generous in portion. The BEST part, their prices were soooooo affordable! Most dishes were $10.99 unless you order them with premium protein (e.g. shrimp, fish, duck) for dinner!!! What a steal! It is NOT a fancy spot, but certainly a local gem! They even gave us a small dessert complimentary! We will certainly come and dine here again!

I almost don't want to tell people how good the food here is! We visited for the first time tonight, and the service was friendly and kind, but the food was amazing. The duck special was the best duck I've had in the 10 years I've lived in the US - I would happily eat it for a week. And the red curry was very well balanced -- I had it at the "hot" label of spicy, as you can choose. Lovely fresh vegetables, really delicious. Our starters were great too, and the little free dessert was a great touch! We will very much be back. My only criticism is that I wish they'd had some background music on! Wonderful!
