    Fried banana with coconut ice cream. A MUST!
    Gabrielle T.

    I've been coming to Neecha Thai for over 20 years, enjoying their FBI (Fried Banana with Coconut Ice Cream) dessert with my dad when I was younger and graduating to the veggie version of their Pad Se Ew once I grew up and went vegetarian. They cook their tofu perfectly--firm, browned, and delicious! Nestled amongst a pile of well-seasoned eggplant and basil or strewn atop a bowl of yummy Pad Se-Ew, it's everything you need and more. The Thai Iced Tea is another well-balanced gem: sweet enough without being overwhelming, and always wonderfully smooth. I also love their Veggie Rolls (the fried version... I'm not a Spring Roll type of girl.) The restaurant is a small, pretty intimate space with small wooden tables and chairs and an open kitchen heaving the fragrance of spices and herbs high in the air. (Not in an overpowering way, don't worry.) All of the staff there are absolutely sweet and have always been for the decades I've been coming. I'm glad to see that they're an Oakland spot continuing to thrive and I definitely recommend them to anyone who wants a taste of some quality Thai made with love.

    Kao soi was amazing - so much flavor! It had an abundance of protein (we ordered chicken), veggies, noodles, and most importantly it had lots of flavor! The food came out piping hot and the delicious curry flavor tasted like a combo of yellow curry and panag. The curry puffs were also probably the best appetizer I've ever had - fresh and crispy, loved the flavors of the yam and taro! You could taste them but it was also not overwhelming at the same time. I will say - we also ordered the Rad Na and I can't say I was a big fan. The gravy was on the more oily and salty side (like a soy sauce kind of gravy) but if that's your thing then by all means go for it. Also would like to mention that the service was great! Very friendly and I feel like they were very attentive. Also portions are huge! It's a great bang for your buck :)

    So yummy! Stopped by for an impromptu post workout lunch. The food was really fresh and the service was wonderful. We each had the pad Thai and shared the corn cakes which were delicious. I also got a side of curry and jasmine rice. The curry is very tasty. Would def recommend checking out!

    It has become my favorite Thai restaurant in the East bay. The food here has big portion, full of Thai species, and diverse varieties. We ordered two different type of rice plate. They both tasted fabulously great. The asked for the Thai medium spicy, and it came out so authentic and delicious. The people here are very efficient and friendly. The place is very family style. I will definitely come back when I come to this area.

    A long time favorite for all things Thai. Not too greasy, yet on the sweet side the dishes here from the kee mao to the ribs impress me a lot. Ambiance is very casual, and the service is just okay but the takeout is where this place shines.

    Called in my order Phone order was easy to do Ordered garlic short ribs Salmon bowl Shrimp pad thai Originally I wanted garlic shrimp but I was told that was not available I was told food would be ready in 20 minutes No worries I was able to find parking in front but only after driving around twice ...... No private parking lot, street parking only Restaurant is nicely decorated and clean Walked in and my order was ready Good deal Total was $63 dollars (not including tip) Salmon bowl Comes with steamed veggies and rice as well as avocado Salmon was flavorless and kinda over cooked Veggies were decent Shrimp pad Thai That is VERY GOOD Garlic Short ribs : Some ribs were burnt, most were over cooked Comes out with Sticky rice and salad Customer service is nice

    This place is best for take out/to go/order out! The space is too small and strangely set-up, however if you drop-in and like super intimate space.... This is for you, first dates or quiet discussions! I arrived and saw how small, and ordered a special! Omg!!!! The food was fresh and delicious... mouthwatering even!!! Super hot after transporting home!!! Loved it! The staff was friendly and quick! Oddly weird to order tho... The Thai iced tea... YUM!!! the interior is clean, but the restroom didn't have options and was dirty! There isn't a baby changing station. Parking garage in the back and street parking.

    Came here on Saturday evening around 7pm ish, party of 6. It was walking distance from an escape…read moreroom near 19th street so we stumbled upon it from convenience. We all split all the specialty cocktails and I got the Khao Pad Kang Kiew (rice with eggplant and chicken topped with a fried egg). Dishes are $20-23 ish each. We were seated at the 6 person table in the back of the restaurant near the bathroom. My favorite drinks were their take on a hard thai iced tea, the lavender mojito, a take on an espresso martini. There was also this spicy drink that had thai chilis in it that is VERY spicy lol. Pros: - the rice dish was DELICIOUS and also huge haha. Came with cucumbers to cut the peppery flavor if needed. - All the cocktails were pretty different and it was fun to try all of them. They were all beautiful to look at and tasty (lots of coconut and Thai inspiration). - Service was pretty good - Has "typical" thai dishes like pad thai and pad see ew, and also more rare ones that are hard to find - Close to many bars and other establishments, so perfect if you want to eat here as a first, second, or third location of your outing haha Cons: - The air flow in the back wasn't amazing so I did feel like it got stuffy/hot - Parking can be tough in this area so I recommend BARTing Another reason to love Oakland!

We had to re-place our orders because they were never sent to the kitchen and lost, we had to flag down servers otherwise we were sitting there confused for 20+ minutes as they hustled and bustled around us, it was just bizarre. And it was a bit embarrassing as I'd lauded this place to my guest and we proceeded to get snubbed by every server during dinner time. Alas, the pad kemao was still delicious but I don't know if I'd suffer that kind of service again for a meal. And no, nothing was comped or discounted. Ambiance-wise, the restaurant is cute and near a busy area of downtown Oakland so it's easy to get to by BART or by car. I might give them another chance if I'm ever in the area already, but I won't be going out of my way to visit again.

The tofu is a little crispy on the outside yet soft and so flavorful. Nothing about this plate is bland, and I order it maybe every two weeks. Yellow curry and fried pumpkin are good too! The fried pumpkin is the right amount of sweetness, and I eat it without the sauce they include. Highly recommend if you're in the uptown area and craving Thai!

But it was not full throughout the time we were at the restaurants. Experience: Food came out pretty fast and it was hot(!). Overall, service was good and they checked in on us a few times to make sure all is good. Food: - Nam Khao was fantastic. Crispy rice, the mixed minced vegetables, and the cooked sausage. Together with the lime that you can squeeze to preference, it was delicious! Haven't had Nam Khao this delicious in a while! - Pad See Ew with pork was alright. It was cooked well and a little on the sweeter side rather than savory, but missing the smoky flavor "wok hei" that would take this to the next level that I love. - Fried Sweet Fish was alright too. Fish is fried with a very thin batter but it had black pepper which my kids doesn't want as they're sensitive to anything spicy. The fish had a light fishy taste to it (fresh water fish) which would be better if they even use a little ginger to cut the fishy taste for a better taste. - Guay Tiew is very similar to Pad See Ew with the exception that it had a fried egg on the top and had seafood (shrimp and squid). - Vientiane Crispy Roll is different from regular egg rolls. Made with rice paper roll so it was crispy but also chewy, which is different and may not be what everyone is used to. Will return to try out other dishes.

After getting my haircut nearby, I decided to stop by for lunch. Their menu is quite robust with most of the popular Thai dishes you'd expect to see.and some lesser known ones like crab fried rice. It all looked promising, but I was here for one item at the end of the menu, the $18.95 Khao Mun Ghai (Photo 8). Their version consisted of slices of a steamed chicken breast over garlic ginger rice. Along with their housemade sauce and a cup with chicken broth. It looked promising, but the meat was unfortunately dry as if it was left in the steamer too long. To offset this hazard, I prefer either a dark meat option or a mix of both white and dark. There was no dark meat on my plate. I thought the rice and broth were closer to my expectation with the sauce fairly middling in flavor. I'd still come back here for the other Thai dishes, but I'll probably skip this dish.
