I had their fried chicken and Roti, which came with fried chicken thigh, roti, sweet chili sauce,…read morecurry sauce, and pickled cucumber. Everything tasted really good. The fried chicken was juicy, tender, and cooked to the perfect level of crispiness. For the sauces, I liked their curry sauce more because it had more complex flavors from the spices. The roti was like a huge puff which was really interesting because I have neven seen it prepared that way elsewhere. The only downside was it's a bit greasy. Other than this, everything tasted great!

This review is about the woman at the register who has no business working with the public…read more A friend put me onto this place years ago because it reminded her of living in Thailand, and the food really is good. We've been regulars since. The last few visits, though, the woman at the register has had this nasty attitude every single time we order. We told ourselves everyone has bad days and let it go. Today my friend, who just lost her job, went out of her way to grab me food because I was having a rough one. She spent $30 on Khao Mun Gai. The khao mun gai came with broth and sauce containers that were less than half full, like they were rationing it on purpose. She ordered it to go and asked for an extra box so we could split it. The woman got an attitude because my friend didn't tip her. My friend explained she'd just lost her job and couldn't tip right now, which honestly shouldn't have even mattered since this was a to-go order. Nobody tips on to-go orders in California generally. The woman told her she wasn't getting a box because she didn't tip, and said if she wanted one, she could go buy it at Philz Coffee. Then she mocked my friend for not having a job and said she could just go buy her own box. When my friend pushed back, the woman had the nerve to say, "California is expensive." Yeah, the food is great; that's never been the issue. People don't want to support a place where customer service is hot-garbage. Maybe that's why fewer and fewer people are coming to eat at your restaurant. If she wants a tip, here's one: don't treat customers like shit because they're going through something; don't shortchange people on the broth and sauce; and maybe fix your portion sizes while you're at it. Nobody owes you money on top of the price of the food, especially when the food portions don't match the price. Humiliating people who are already struggling is disgusting. The food used to be great. Now I'd think twice before going back.

Beautiful restaurant and amazing food. Each dish was very delicious…read more Our favorites were the beef salad and the pumpkin slices. Surprisingly the pumpkin was the star. Very crispy and the sauce that comes with it is a nice tough. Great appetizer you should get. Beef salad hits all the notes a Thai dish should hit. Would recommend this as well. Vibes were great here. Great music and they have a fully stacked bar. Perfect for a weekend night

I wish I had taken pictures: We each started with a cocktail both were delicious, we shared a fresh rice paper roll for an appetizer: perfect and loved the peanut sauce. For entree I had green curry with chicken and tofu and my friend had pad se ew with beef. Both were delicious. I would definitely recommend this place for the good service, flavorful food nice portions and reasonably priced.

We decided to try this place craving something new, and we weren't disappointed. It wasn't busy around 6pm, but the vibes were really cute inside. I love the patio area they have. Would be perfect for a group meet up on a nice day. We ordered the pork sausage to start, the saikoo which according to my fiance is a must for laotian food, the yellow curry, and the crab fried rice. Everything was genuinely amazing. Here are my rankings below: Sausage: 8.5/10 Crab Fried Rice: (with the fish sauce) 9.5/10 Saikoo: (with the fish sauce) 9.5/10 Yellow Curry: 9/10 Would definitely order everything again. It's not quite thai, but thai with a twist I'd say. Bit on the pricey side, but everything was so fresh and you can see where the chefs are making everything, so you know you're getting quality. And the portions honestly made it really worth it. Such a great place! Will 100% be back.

We didn't wait too long either--about 10 min for two ppl. We came here for lunch and since it was my first time, got the lava eggs and the special, which was cod fish curry. The curry had just enough spice to make my nose runny but not enough to make me cry. Paired with the lava eggs, it was the perfect combo of herbaceous savory flavors. My friend ordered the NAM PRIK ONG which also came with lava eggs. It was tomato-ey and had a great combination of spice as well. We also got the beignets to start and both agreed that it's better with condensed milk instead of the traditional powdered sugar. Can't wait to come again to try the other specials and evergreen dishes!

This is a super cute and cozy thai inspired brunch spot in Berkeley. We got two lava egg entrees,…read moreone with pork jowl and the other with pork sausage. They were both super flavorful and filling as they were big portions. The sausage had some spice to it with a mild chili sauce on the side which was delicious. We got two small plates as well, the beignets and coconut cakes, both were super delicious and fun to try! The servers were absolute sweethearts! A service fee is already included in the bill which I didn't mind since the service was absolutely amazing! This is a spot I would come back to on a chilly day for some comforting and yummy food.

We ordered from Racha Cafe for the first time yesterday through Uber Eats. I ordered the Red Curry…read morewith Duck, which was listed at $21.94. The menu photo clearly showed the dish served with rice. When adding the item, I was given options for spice level, add-ons, and an extra duck portion for an additional $6, bringing the total to $27.94 per meal. We ordered two meals, totaling $55.88 before fees, tip, and expedited delivery. The final order came to $79.60. The food itself tasted good overall, although I was disappointed to find several large pieces of cartilage in the duck. The much bigger issue was that neither meal included rice. The menu photo showed rice, and nowhere in the ordering process was it stated that rice was not included. There was no indication that rice needed to be ordered separately, nor was there an option to add it. Based on the menu presentation, a reasonable customer would expect rice to be included with a curry dish. As a result, we had to cook rice ourselves after the food arrived. When I contacted Uber Eats for a partial refund regarding the missing side dish, the complaint was completely dismissed. One customer service representative even ended the chat without resolving the issue. The entire experience felt careless, dismissive, and disrespectful toward paying customers. Good food cannot make up for misleading menu information and poor customer service. Unfortunately, after this experience, I will not be ordering from Racha Cafe again.

They've also made it to the Michelin Bib Gourmand list several years in a row, so you know the food is going to be legit! They don't accept reservations, so getting there and hoping for a table is your best bet. We were a group of 5, and after about a 20 min wait (pretty much par-for-the-course for a Saturday night), we were seated. They do have tables outside, but we were told that we couldn't start our meal outside and then move to a table indoors after one was available, so we waited. Oh well! As we waited, we noticed a steady stream of online orders, indicating this is a popular place with those in the neighborhood. We got a few beers while we waited for a table. They also have Thai iced teas/coffee/lemonade, and serve young coconuts with water. We got a bunch of appetizers to share and some entrees. We got the crispy rice pork salad, this is served with lettuce leaves and herbs and a wedge of lime. I loved this dish - the crispy rice and ground pork combination was balanced and the squeeze of lime juice made for a perfect bite wrapped in a lettuce leaf with mint and cilantro. Next was the Bird & Buffalo Chicken wings, perfectly crispy and tossed in salt and pepper. Good for folks who don't enjoy the spice. We also got the grilled pork spare ribs to share, which folks enjoyed. For entrees we had the drunken noodles with pork, green curry with rice and massaman curry with rice. I could have done with a spicier version of the green curry, but it was flavorful and satisfying. Overall, a solid spot for Thai food - we will be back to sample some of their other dishes too!

Food. You can really taste the love, effort. Aunties and uncles in the back definitely throwing it down. You know the Thai food is good when the spice level is the actual spice level (some places say medium when there's no spice at all, lol). The khao soi alone is worth the trip. We'd also recommend (quite literally anything else). We also loved the Thai Arnold Palmer. Service feels like home. Respectful, friendly, kind and prompt. Ambience is busy during lunch! As they should be. Though, very attentive. Had us reminiscing about our time in Thailand - and felt the same kind of love, same notes of flavor of food. If i didn't have self control I'd probably be here once a week

Drove from Hayward to try out this place because we've been seeing some post about their boat…read morenoodles being amazing. Was it great? It was decent. Would I make the drive again? Definitely not. The broth was a good balance of sweet, savory and spicy. What I wish I had more of was noodles. I felt that for the cost, it was a small amount (more like kids portion). For the boat noodles, I'd give it 5/10. We also order duck larb, Lao style papaya, sticky rice, bbq pork neck plate, and Thai ice tea. The duck larb was so good. Like 9/10. Not too fatty. I could eat that all day with sticky rice. The sticky rice was really good too! I am a picky sticky rice eater so I give it 10/10. The bbq pork neck plate was seasoned very well and my kids ate it up! Totally kid approved 9/10. As for the Lao style papaya, 2/10. Lao style papaya is my favorite style so when we had it here, I was greatly disappointed. It really just tasted like fish sauce. Nothing else. If it was closer it Hayward, I might go back for the duck larb but guys, the boat noodles was just alright. I know everyone has their own taste but to me, it wasn't worth it. Also! Our 5G didn't work there! Our kids couldn't watch anything to keep them busy so it was hard to have lunch with 2 kids. We didn't ask the restaurant if they had wifi mainly because they looked really busy. We didn't want to bother them. Just download some videos before you go . Honestly, if it was just me and my husband that went, it might have been a better experience. It's quite small and is more a great place for catching up with friends. The waitress was very nice and just left us to enjoy our food.
