    I've never had a bad experience at million spoons. The food is always delicious, servers are always friendly, ambiance is cozy, and the hours are so convenient. My personal favorite order is their crispy pork/chicken over ginger rice and side of broth. My partner loves how rich and flavorful their khao soi is. I've also tried their mango sticky rice, crab rangoon wontons, fried okra, and calamari on separate occasions - all delightful!

    Made the late night call to stop by here for quick dinner. The fried rice and the fried tofu was so amazing! Stop here if you want flavor and nice portion!

    Chicken and rice
    Sarah Z.

    FOOD IS VERY GOOD!! Came for lunch on a weekday and it was pretty packed! Ambiance was great too. I ordered chicken and rice which was so good. The rice was very well seasoned and chicken was so tender. LOVE IT!! Service was good, though there was only one person serving so food took quite awhile to come out. But they did offer mango sticky rice on the house which was a sweet gesture! Overall I'd definitely come back again.

    I am not sure if this restaurant is new, but I had never seen it before. My friend recommended it, and I'm glad she somehow knew about it. Service and Staff: - Came here on a Sunday afternoon, and it was empty. It started to fill in a little closer to 1pm - Our servers were nice Food and Drinks: - Thai Iced Tea: yummy and filling - Pad Thai: can order with chicken, tofu, beef, pork, or shrimp. Ordered with chicken, which was little dry. The tofu that already came with the dish was tasty, so I wish I just got extra tofu. It was a pretty large serving, so I had some leftovers. - Fried Chicken: also a larger dish. Filling and yummy. Miscellaneous: - Parking is available via street parking - Good for small and large groups - The restaurant goes back pretty far, so there are a lot of tables - When we went on Sunday at noon, it was very quiet

    Soup and side dipping sauce
    Amy L.

    Parking was a bit difficult walking a few blocks and around the corner, but typical for Alameda to try and find parking. Our first time trying this restaurant and it is long and narrow. This is a good late night spot of your looking for a restaurant that is open late. It is open til 2 am most nights. I had the tilapia, crunchy fried well and I loved the dipping sauce not super spicy but tangy. It came with a side of ginger rice, tomato and a few slices of cucumber. I tried a few bites of the chicken and pork, nice crunch and definitely tastes better with the two dipping sauces. I did not try the roasted pork soup but I think it would be good on a cold evening. I would try a few more items if in the area.

    Fried Tilapia (comes w rice and spicy lime sauce)
    Zinia G.

    Wow! Just picked up my first order at Million Spoons and I will definitely be coming back. So many great options -- can't wait to try the Khao Soi which I had last in Chiang Mai and can't seem to find anywhere else! I ordered the fried tilapia which comes with spicy lime sauce (so good!) and rice. I also ordered the chicken gyoza and steamed veggies ($3). I called in the order and they said it would take 30 mins and it did take a bit longer, but they were very nice about it. I asked for some chili oil/ hot sauce, and they gave me some delicious spicy Thai chilis cut up! The restaurant looks clean and beautiful; they're really making that narrow space work. Parking can be a bit of an issue in the area, but you can typically find it nearby.

    Mushroom poppers
    Michelle C.

    Decided to dine here based on the Yelp reviews. A lot of the options on the menu looked good. I couldn't decide so I asked our server what was more popular between the basil pork belly dish or the khao soi fried chicken, so I went with the latter. We also ordered the combo pork belly & steamed chicken and mushroom poppers as an appetizer. The mushroom poppers were deep fried enoki mushroom pieces. Could have used more seasoning, but had a nice crunch to them that would pair well with some beer. I liked the addition of peanuts on top of the sauce but wasn't feeling the sweet and sour very much. The khao soi was pretty thick, as another yelper mentioned but still enjoyable. I got it medium spicy, so it definitely delivered in that area. There were some raw shallots or red onion as a garnish, but overall felt a little monotonous and could have used pickled veggies in it or something more to cut the richness. The fried chicken was a little dry and difficult for me to bite through. It also got soggy (as expected), but I probably wouldn't order it together again. I tried the steamed chicken but again, wasn't a fan of the dipping sauces that came with it. They leaned more sweet and sour when I was craving a ginger scallion type of sauce. The inside is actually pretty spacious. I think the interior has potential and could use some work because the main walkway toward the bathroom was greasy/slippery. Also to note, the bathroom seems to be shared with other businesses since it was in a separate hallway. Service was very friendly and attentive, food was solid, but not particularly our favorite. Maybe just not geared toward our particular palettes. I'd be open to trying something else next time.

    Basil Crispy Pork Belly
    Sandy M.

    Considering this place is on Park Street, you know parking will be street parking and may be difficult, and it was definitely the case, maybe because it's as Thursday, we didn't need to circle around too long. To my dismay, the restaurant was empty, which made me a little concerned, but still we went inside. Service was fast, as expected. We decided on Kao Mun Gai, and Basil Crispy Pork Belly. Kao Mun Gai 5/5: this was such a great dish! The rice was so flavorful, I almost ate all of it and I usually don't eat that much rice. Chicken was tender and moist. The spicy sauce was amazing as well. The broth was good to sip in between the bites. Basil Crispy Pork Belly 4/5: what a flavorful dish! You can really taste the basil in this dish. Pork belly was crispy and full of the basil and sauce. This paired perfectly with the white rice to soak up all the flavors. Add a bit of crushed pepper if you want some extra spice. This was a great find and I can't believe there's nobody inside the restaurant. Will definitely come back again!

    Massaman with delish brown rice
    Ginevra A.

    Little unassuming spot - take out, sit outside for lunch or the inside is cute. Could use some spiffing up in the visible storage areas (no one needs to see that) but otherwise comfortable We sat outside on a beautiful sunny Nov afternoon. I had massaman curry with chicken - the brown rice is terrific that comes with it and the sauce was good. I ordered medium which was clearly a gringo medium and needed some hot sauce. We had Tom yum with fried chicken. Sooo good. Both entrees were enough for two meals so at $40 it was very reasonable! Server was very sweet

    Came here to get a dessert and I've been craving mango sticky rice. Since they do sell that here I got 2 incase one is not enough. Then I found this sign about buy 2 entrees and get 1 free mango dessert but it's a dine in only. What a bummer. If I only knew which the hostess didn't inform me with their special. Not really friendly place. Place has a nice interior seating. Maybe if I had time to dine in the future.

    Grass Jelly Drink
    Benny W.

    This restaurant is located in the heart of downtown Alameda. There are plenty of metered parking spots around this restaurant. They have outdoor and indoor dining. We ordered the Half Steamed Chicken & Half Fried Chicken With Ginger Rice, Kao Soy Chicken, and a Grass Jelly Drink. Our food came out in a timely manner. The Steamed Chicken wasn't all that. The Chinese version of it tasted better. The Fried Chicken was ok and the Ginger Rice was very bland. It didn't even have a hint of ginger. The Kao Soy Chicken was flavorful and the chicken was tender. The Grass Jelly in a can was a big disappointment. The waitress should have at least pour the grass Jelly in a glass and add a mint to garnish it.

    Khao Soi Fried Chicken & Thai Tea
    My D.

    I came here for the Hainan chicken but tried the Khao Soi because of the reviews and recommendations. Food: Crab Fried Rice (5/5) - you can see and taste the lumps of crab, very addicting Khao Soy Fried Chicken (3/5) - generous portion, good flavor, but the curry was so thick and heavy, I could not eat more than 5 bites. This dish is just not my personal preference. Side of veggies (5/5) - only $3! Next time will try the Hainan chicken rice or beef noodle soup.

    Steamed Chicken and Fried Pork Belly, Red Curry, Guava Juice
    Angela M.

    Delicious meal, great first impression. Decided to drop by with my husband and brother last night and we were the only people in the restaurant. The waitress was super nice and welcoming. We started with the fried chicken gyoza, which were made to order (I could see the cook drop them into the fryer in the kitchen from our table once the order was passed along to her). Very hot, super crispy, lots of juicy chicken inside. Nice soy sauce-based dipping sauce, too. Seven to an order. I got the spicy red curry with chicken and jasmine rice, my husband got the khao soi fried chicken, and my brother got the half steamed chicken, half fried pork belly. I also got some guava juice and an extra side of ginger rice. It didn't take long for the food to come out and every dish was great. I really loved my curry, which had a good amount of chicken and lots of vegetables. The ginger rice had a nice flavor and aroma and paired well with the curry. I also liked that the guava juice was a tall can of the Parrot brand, which isn't too sweet. Very refreshing. I tried some of my husband's khao soi and loved it, especially how crispy that chicken was. I didn't try my brother's dish but he enjoyed it, particularly the fried pork belly. He also loved the ginger rice when he took a taste of it. Portions were generous here; we thought we'd have room to try dessert but that wasn't happening after this meal. There's a LOT on this menu that I want to come back and try, and, frankly, I can't wait to. Our dishes were fresh, hot, and so good, and the dining room is a pretty, airy place that was nice to be in on this hot evening with the doors open and the breeze finally starting to kick in. I'm looking forward to making this one of my go-to restaurants for a meal out.

The people behind the counter are consistently courteous, and willing to make clarifications about the food when needed. There was, at one point in recent memory, a woman working here who was absolutely the sweetest. Her warm, gentle demeanor made the place seem all the more inviting.

In the booth we sat in there was an electrical outlet is hanging out of the wall and the booths are in need of cleaning. We had to use the bathroom, and the soap was out. The staff member brought a new one, but didn't know how to install it so it just sat on top of paper towels. Not a huge deal but bruh, figure it out. The guy was nice enough, but just sat and watched his phone when no one was at counter. There was also another guy, maybe from the kitchen (?) hanging out behind the counter sometimes as well. All while tables needed wiping, the bus tub was FULL with dishes, or either of them could have tried to get the soap installed. If there was no one at counter or food to cook it was stand around and stare at our phones. It's just sad Just a subpar experience for as much as food costs these days. Train the staff to stay busy and know how to bus tables and clean. And if you ever order the BLT chicken sandwich make sure to ask for no BBQ sauce. Yuk.

Up until recently, the wings were always big and tender. Fries were always cooked to perfection and they always gave more than enough ranch. Lately, the wings are small, pretty dry and seasoning can be scarce sometimes (again, you never know lol). Fries are ..lacking to say the least. The 'large' size really used to be a large but looks more like a regular now. They are never 'well done' like I order them. I always have to put them in the airfryer if I get takeout. No more over-abundance of dips given, so basically you're paying almost 10 dollars for TWO sauce containers of ranch (whomp whomp) During our last pick up, they couldn't even find my order. So I had to cancel, and re-order. While waiting for the order, my boyfriend took a survey because the employees promised an additional order was fries which surprise, we didn't receive.

The old space is still under the same owners, almost the same food but maybe more concentrated on the Mexican fare. I'd call this a hipster pub.

Can't start a tab so if you want multiple drinks or food items better order it all at once, or keep getting up to order and re-pay (which I dislike). If you sit at the bar top, they can run you a tab there. But it's usually pretty packed there. Beer n a Shot ($11/4*) the beer is a domestic lager (Miller Hi Life) and you can choose between 3 shots. I chose Fernet as I can use it post meal, while I have the beer with the meal. Don't love the beer but for the price ya just can't beat it. 6 Wings ($13/3.5*) Wings are a big focus on their menu. You can pick from lots of sauces/rubs; different quantities to fit your group/appetite; ranch or blue cheese; you can customize flats, drummies or mixed. They even asked how crisp we wanted the fry, which rarely is ever asked. I dug their thoroughness in the wing game. We chose basic buffalo sauce and I found it to be just average. Quite salty meaning it is mostly Franks Hot Sauce, I like ones that are more balanced with other ingredients. I did like their blue cheese dressing as they add a scoop of blue crumbles to the ramekin itself so it is very chunky which I like. Fish Taco ($5/4.5*) I chose a fried version but you can also get grilled fish. Perfectly fried strips of battered fish. Appropriate accouterments of shredded cabbage, cilantro and sour cream. 2 delicious pureed salsas come with as well that are requisite to use. Cobb Salad ($19/4.5*) Solid entree sized salad. Love how you pick between shrimp or chicken then grilled or fried. You will literally change the dynamics with each choice. The lettuce was fresh spring mix. Topped with crisp bacon bits, grape tomatoes, blue crumbles, avo slices, which is why I am fond of Cobb Salads. So many varying textures and flavors keeping things interesting. They use smaller shrimps but at least they have a nice meaty texture. They season it pretty aggressively and sear it on a hot flat top. Not sure if they cooked it next to some carne asada or if they use beef tallow to cook with, but my shrimp bites totally tasted like steak. I love surf n turf so this totally worked for me. Just don't know if it was deliberate or not. Nice add to the neighborhood and I'm sure I'll be back. Still want to try their nachos and possibly chicken n waffles. Good chance I could do both at the same time as not too often you can. Swoop in when ya can amirite!
