Yessir! This is a go to, worth the 30 minute drive when that craving hits. This place has a very welcoming and comfortable vibe (indoor and outdoor 'park let' patio seating. Always greeted with a warm smile. The service is always great, always. The main draw though, here, like all amazing restaurants, is the food. They serve up some of the most authentic Thai in the east bay. We've been several times and not once have we been disappointed or dissatisfied. Whether you like chicken, beef, fish....you're in for a treat; they've got you covered. *Thai iced tea and desserts are all on point! Yummy Thai! (you're welcome!) read more

First the bad - as a handful of other people have mentioned this is a pricey restaurant especially for the portion size. There is street parking and then a very small private lot where you pay through a meter. They take reservations, but we got lucky and were able to be seated right away. The interior is very unique. The menu is very very extensive, which some might even find overwhelming. We ordered the following - Papaya Salad - it was decent - Tom Kha soup - very very delicious, but the "bowl" they put it in (large) is inconvenient when you are trying to use the laddel to get your soup out (pretty expensive for the portion size) - Pad Thai - decent - Slow Cooked Beef Curry ($38) - pricey for sure for the portion size, but very delicious Bottom line - cute location, pricey food for the portion sizes, would only come back for a special occasion. read more

My partner and I visited Daughter Thai Kitchen during Oakland Restaurant Week. They offered a special Restaurant Week menu, and we chose the fried rice and pork belly. I'll admit I was a little disappointed at first because the pricing ended up being pretty close to what we would have paid outside of Restaurant Week. I was expecting a bit more value or a larger discount, but I also understand that every restaurant participates in Restaurant Week differently. That said, the food itself was delicious. The pork belly was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The fried rice was also excellent and came with large, generous pieces of shrimp. The dish included pineapple, which wasn't my favorite, but that's purely a personal preference and not a reflection of the quality of the food. One thing that really stood out was the restaurant itself. The space is absolutely beautiful and creates a great atmosphere for dinner. Between the thoughtful design, the quality of the food, and the overall dining experience, we had a great time. While I may have had different expectations for the Restaurant Week pricing, I still enjoyed my meal and would be interested in returning to try more of the menu. read more

Came here with friends and I hadn't been here in many years. We ordered iced coffee and Thai iced tea, and the $28.00 lunch specials so all of us had the specials with different items to choose from. I had the one with soup, samosa, pad see ew, fried chicken wing and salad. The salad had a kick to it. Everything was very tasty, the service was efficient, and place was cozy so we could chat and catch up without feeling rushed. I especially liked the Thai iced tea which had shaved ice and it was refreshing. Reservations suggested. read more

I haven't been to daughter Thai kitchen in a while and it was even better than what I remembered. I caught up with two of my really good friends and it was such a great ambiance to celebrate a belated birthday. We ordered the crab fried rice, pad see you (this is how they spell it), pad kra pow, samosas, and the neua num tuk rolls and it was all really good. I like that the dishes aren't too spicy and the dishes have lots of protein. They also have a huge drum celebration for birthdays and am grateful to have celebrated a birthday here. Thank you again Daughter Thai! read more

Beautifully curated ambience and menu Been here multiple times and each time has been good service and yummy food! The samosa, curries, fried rice, and noodles have been sooo good. Flavors are super authentic and even my south East Asian mom loves it here. She's extremely picky about Thai/SEA food. Good drinks and apps. Good for dates, girl's night, lunch, etc A bit pricey, but considering the location, makes sense. Check it out for yourselves! read more

Our waitress kept telling us not to order certain dishes because she said it was very spicy, level 10. We had eaten there before in the past and were a bit baffled but took her word. We ordered two curry dishes, we had asked her for medium spicy. When the dishes came they weren't spicy at all, in fact they had little flavor. We requested the seafood combo for our curry and it had 2 shrimps, a stale small piece of fried fish and a 4 calamari. Mind you this is a 32 or 34 dollar dish. The Jasmine rice was clumpy, in fact we didn't eat at all. We just shared the coconut rice my husband ordered, that was just ok. The appetizers, fried fish cakes, tasted like previously frozen, lacked flavor, the egg roles were really good and the highlight of our meal. Overall, disappointment, considering the price of the meals. We had been there before and had some really good food. This seemed like an off day, or the cooks were not on their best game. We will never go back again. You simply cannot charge those prices and give people mediocre food and service. Please train your waitresses better, she didn't even know how to place the order for my husband's Manhattan. read more

Last night, I landed at Daughter's Thai Kitchen, tucked into table #D5 -- a corner seat, perfect for anyone who likes a little privacy and zero unsolicited people-watching. Ambience: Clean, bright, and cheerful -- the faux flowers on ceilings and walls give serious "Thai garden meets craft store" vibes. Refreshing and Instagram-ready, if you're into that sort of thing. Service: Polite and functional. Think reliable coworker who doesn't steal your lunch but also won't start a conga line for you. Good, just not "stand‑up‑applause" good. The Meal: My go-to lineup: Tod Mun (Thai Fish Cakes), a fresh coconut (sugar detox... until it wasn't), Pad Kee Mow (requested not spicy), and a papaya salad to go. Halfway through the Pad Kee Mow, I was sweating like I'd accidentally signed up for a Bikram class -- and I definitely hadn't. Desperate for relief, I caved for a Thai iced tea. So much for avoiding sugary drinks. Food Notes (Keeping It Real): * The papaya salad came with regular green salad instead of crisp cabbage on the side -- by the time I got home, it looked more like "Warm Thai Garden Leftovers." * The peanuts were crushed and soggy, swimming in sauce like tiny, sad floaters. * Fish cakes? Not homemade -- missing that light bounce and fresh-fish punch I adore. For comparison, Basil Thai Express in Dublin keeps their peanuts whole in a zip-lock bag, secures take-out like forensic evidence, and costs less than here. Not that Daughter's is awful -- just that "meh" doesn't quite justify the price. read more

Came here for some Thai food and ended up loving it so much I came back again the next day with my family (and my dog since the outdoor seating is pet-friendly)! We sat outside and the weather was absolutely beautiful--just a heads up though, the pavement is a bit slanted so the tables and chairs are slightly angled downward. Not a dealbreaker, but something to be aware of. Now for the food--the standout for me was the papaya salad with fermented crab. SO good and easily my favorite dish. The tom kha and pad Thai were also delicious, super flavorful, and really hit the spot. The Thai tea was refreshing and paired perfectly with everything. Only downside is that the portions are on the smaller side, especially for the price. But honestly, the flavors made up for it. Overall, really tasty Thai food and a great outdoor dining experience--I'll definitely be back again! The servers here are also very friendly and checks up on us often. read more

I recently ordered the Tsunami Lobster at Thai Daughter, and unfortunately it was one of the worst lobster experiences I've ever had. The lobster was extremely dry and tough--completely overcooked to the point where the meat turned stringy and unpleasant. I've had lobster many times, and this texture was completely off. It honestly made me question whether something had gone wrong in the cooking process. What stood out the most was how strange the meat felt throughout. Even the claw meat, which is usually tender and juicy, had a spongy, almost artificial texture that didn't feel like real lobster at all. It was so off-putting that I couldn't bring myself to eat most of it because I wasn't even sure if it was safe. The only somewhat edible part was the tail, and even that was just okay--maybe a 6/10 at best. I understand that lobster is delicate and easy to overcook, but this felt like a major miss. If these are live lobsters as advertised, I'm genuinely confused how the texture ended up this way. Whether it was severely overcooked or something else went wrong, the result was disappointing enough that I couldn't finish the dish. For a dish that should be a highlight, this was a letdown. read more

We had our dog so sat outside and my only complaint is our glass of waters kept sliding lol so we switched to a more even area - which is just because of the slope the restaurant is located so not necessarily the restaurant fault. My favorite was the papaya salad and spicy eggplant. I believe I got the thai lady cocktail. Pretty good and strong I think. The curry was ok. The noodle we got came with tofu and I liked the tofu. My favorite definitely was the eggplant and the sticky rice tasted good with the sauce. I will definitely come back to try more on their menu. The staff are nice. read more

This place is legit because they didn't ask for spice level lol. Joking aside, the food is excellent with plenty of selection to choose from.

Aesthetic restaurant that's decorated beautifully inside and out. There's a small parking lot right next to it. My friends and I came on a Saturday evening at around 8pm. We didn't have a reservation beforehand and luckily, we waited only a couple minutes until we got seated. We ordered four dishes to share. In hindsight, we could've gone with just three dishes; the portion sizes were bigger than we expected. We ordered: - Pad Thai "Chai Ya" with Chicken 5/5: Yummy. Good flavor. No complaints. - Pad See You with Pork 5/5: Delicious. I liked the thick noodles, and texture was perfect. - Thai Fried Rice with Crispy Pork Belly 3/5: The fried rice was good but the pork belly was hard to chew. - Roti Mataba 5/5: This was different. I think this was my first time having stuffed roti. It was kind of like a samosa. Loved the sauce. The salad on the side was also very good. Overall, we had a great dinner and I would definitely come back here. read more

The ambiance at Parada is very warmth and spring welcoming. Bright and colorful atmosphere paired with their excellent customer service. This is a great venue for casual lunch and dinners, perfect for small celebratory meals. We ordered Pad Thai, Egg Rolls, Roti and Chicken Curry. The pad thai's flavor was as colorful as its presentation. The roti and chicken curry paired well - wish they gave more roti! The prices here are a bit on the higher end, but I think it's a pretty decent restaurant for occasional visits. read more

AMAZING FOOD!!! Loved it here and would come again. Great service and such a cozy atmosphere.

As soon as you walk up, the first thing you notice is the aesthetics. The restaurant is so beautifully decorated, even on the outside. It even has a backdrop so you can take pictures before you come in! This restaurant is a Thai/lao fusion which I love! Tons of things to choose from on the menu. For my cocktail, I ordered the Thai Caliente drink. It was good. Not as strong as I would have liked but the flavor is there. I wasn't super hungry so I ordered the Yum Neua (Wagyu steak salad) with sticky rice on the side. It was really good and refreshing and it's served with cucumbers and cilantro and green onions. They toss it in a spicy lime dressing and serve it with mixed veggies. Super light and flavorful. Service was good. Only issue I had is that the music was really loud. It was hard for us to have conversations across the table since we had to keep talking really loudly over the music. It was my first time there but someone with our party said that was an issue the last time they came. Other than that, food was really good, service was great. Restaurant is cute and I'd come back to try other things on the menu. Parking was a bit of an issue. We came for dinner and I had to drive around a few times, so just keep that in mind when coming to dine. Didn't get a picture of my food/drink but here's a picture of the entrance way and backdrop I mentioned. read more

Daughter Thai Kitchen - Pad Kee mow (drunken man noodles) - Thai Near Me - Oakland, California

I've been really excited to try Daughter Thai Kitchen, and Christmas lunch felt like the perfect time to bring my family. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with purple wisteria at the entrance, and the courtyard feels romantic and serene. Inside, the ambiance continues--very elegant and upscale, immediately giving the impression of a fine-dining Thai restaurant. Most dishes average around $35, including typical options like fried rice, stir-fried noodles, papaya salad, sweet and sour soup, and eggplant dishes. We ordered one of their specials, the Tsunami Lobster ($80), which was disappointingly small--not even a pound--and looked much larger in the photos. Unfortunately, it was definitely not worth the price. Our total came out to north of $300 for 6 dishes and 2 desserts, with the lobster being the most expensive item. For that price point, the value just wasn't there for me. Overall, the food tasted average, similar to what you'd find at a typical Thai restaurant. The papaya salad was very basic and overly salty, and for the price I wish it included shrimp or fish. The fried rice was good, but beef is an extra charge and labeled as Wagyu--though it was really just thinly sliced beef. The soup was one of the better dishes: rich, coconut-forward, and filled with seafood. The pad kee mao noodles were just okay and lacked the wok-smoky flavor we were hoping for. The lobster dish was the biggest disappointment. The seafood was overcooked and dry, making it far from worth the cost. For dessert, the coconut vacation was overly sweet, but the mango sticky rice was done just right. Service was kind and efficient, and the atmosphere is lovely. Overall, this is a great spot for a romantic date or special occasion if you're going for a Beautiful ambiance and a romantic setting, but for the price, the food didn't quite match the experience. read more

Came here for weekend brunch and it was already buzzing. There were large parties already seated and one table who was celebrating a birthday. The menu is pretty diverse with unique takes on classic dishes. The presentation is very instagrammable. We ordered variety of dishes and they were all tasty but not a slam dunk. The portion size is fair but not generous. Typical prices for East Bay though. Would recommend if you want to impress your out of town guests but probably not a day to day go-to spot for me. read more

Pretty high-quality Thai food, and what I would consider a " fancier" Thai dining experience. I ordered the basil, eggplant, chicken, and the portion was generous and very high-quality ingredients. My husband ordered a spicy fish dish and they sure do not joke around with the spice levels! Service was fast and very friendly, and they do birthday celebrations upon request. My only conflicting feelings were around how the dishes were priced, this is certainly not an average takeout location in my opinion, and the prices are incredibly steep for what you get (compared to other local Thai restaurants). Prices are understandable for the location. read more

We had a reservation because I heard it gets packed here. I'm glad we did because we were sat right away with a complete party. I offered the elderberry spritzer... so delicious. We had the samosa and that was okay but I'm not a huge fan of the flakey crust. Everything else was so good. Papaya salad was amazing, unfortunately you can't request the spice level and it was spicy. Pad Thai.. super, especially the tofu. Will definitely be back again. The ambiance was a bit romantic! Lights dimmed... even though there were kids, it was not loud. read more

This place is a hidden gem and I'm so glad my friend decided to celebrate her birthday here. The aesthetic of the place is definitely my kind of vibe. The staff were really sweet and checked in on all the tables often. The only thing I would say is that one of my friends order to-go and they unfortunately got it wrong but she ended up with Pad Thai which she didn't complain about (instead of the chicken). My friend and I shared 3 dishes and we were both really full and even took some to go. I would recommend their chicken and slow cooked beef curry! read more

A longtime fan of the Farmhouse Thai restaurant family, I was excited to try Daughter Thai. My friends and I were a bit nervous about making a reservation for about ~10 people about a week in advance, but Daughter Thai was able to accommodate our group. The restaurant is located in the cute Montclair neighborhood, and there was plenty of street parking on a Saturday evening. We ordered a few apps to share - samosas, spring rolls, chicken wings, and papaya salad - and we each ordered our own entrees. The samosas were my favorite app, and they tasted identical to the samosas from Farmhouse Thai - warm, flaky, and accompanied by the delicious curry sauce. For my entree, I ordered a cup the Tom Kha, which was the first entree to arrive among the group. Unfortunately, the rest of my group's entrees arrived about 15-20 minutes after my soup arrived - so I waited awkwardly for the rest of the group to receive their food. Flavor-wise, the Tom Kha broth was the perfect balance of creamy and tangy with flavors of coconut and lime. There were too many onions for my liking (more onions than broth, it seemed), and I would have preferred more mushrooms and tofu. Next time, I would probably stick with my typical order of curry or noodles that I typically enjoy from the Farmhouse Thai sister restaurants. read more

As you know, I'm a sucker for some good authentic Thai food. Which takes me to the Montclair neighborhood of the Oakland Hills where I had the opportunity to try out "Daughter Thai Kitchen". Located directly off of Moraga Ave and parallel to Highway 13, this place has been serving up unique and traditional Thai cuisine in a much more intimate and upscale setting. Ever since opening their doors back dating back to 2016. I came here with my lady during the evening of Friday 7/4/2025 at around 7:45pm. We were able to park (at a dedicated parking lot) adjacent to the business. Interestingly enough, they actually incorporated paid meters which I found a bit odd. Nonetheless, I only paid $1.50 to park and proceeded towards the business. I will say that the use of colors when making your way to the entrance was a sneak preview of what was to come. You will notice beautiful thistle-colored flowers that freely flow by the main entrance. Once inside, we tell the hostess we'd like to be seated for two. Reservations aren't required but recommended. I will say that the interior layout of this place really showcased how amazing and elaborate this dining experience would be. The use of wooden beams imbedded into the ceiling fixtures combined with more floral arrangements and curtains to separate the tables provided an upscale and intimate look. Although this place doesn't offer outdoor seating (only during the pandemic), the overall appearance of this place is strikingly appealing. Their menu also offers a mix of traditional and trendy with all of the popular Thai choices. I ended up ordering the "Yum Neua" (priced at $25 as of mid-2025). This was a salad/vegetable platter complete with grilled and seasoned Wagyu flank steak, cucumbers, green onions, shallots, mint, cilantro, and a drizzle of spicy lime dressing. My lady went the more traditional Thai entree route by going with their ever-popular "Pad See You" (priced at $19.95 as of mid-2025). This dish consisted of thin rice noodles, cage free eggs, tofu coconut milk, tamarind, bean sprouts, chives, and chicken as her protein of choice. I settle with a cold, refreshing "Thai Iced Tea". I will say that the menu here is absolutely elaborate and loaded with so many options. You will find a huge amount of appetizers, soups, salads, curry dishes, noodles, and a ton of beer/wine/cocktails to choose from. My Thai iced tea arrived and was served with a scoop of shaved ice in a unique cup placed in a glass. My Wagyu salad arrived first and everything was presented well. The only minor complaint I have is that it was doused in a bit too much of the dressing as that overpowered everything else. I would have to give it a 4/5. I did try a few bites of her Pad See You and this hit the spot, definitely a 5/5. Overall, "Daughter Thai Kitchen" is an excellent choice for a date night or a family get-together. They offer more than enough space to accommodate large parties. The only drawback is that it was a bit on the pricier side. However, the service and portions were above average. With a beautifully-designed interior/exterior, large portions, good customer service, and decent quality food, I am giving Daughter Thai Kitchen a respectable four-star rating. read more

Came in on a Tuesday night for a party of two and started off with the Tom Yum soup. It was loaded with protein, but the broth was a lot saltier than I prefer, which made it hard to enjoy. The shrimp Pad Thai made up for it though -- honestly one of the best I've had in the Bay Area. Chewy noodles, bold balanced flavor, and fresh juicy shrimp. We also got the fried chicken with curry and roti, which was crispy and juicy, and the curry dip with the flaky roti was so good. Portions were big, presentation was beautiful, and service was quick and friendly even though it was busy. Overall a solid spot, and I'd come back to try more of their curries and cocktails next time. read more
