    Hole in the wall Thai restaurant with very limited parking... like 3 spots. The food here was good but pricey. We've been seeking out this type of roti for awhile. Most places offer roti as a dessert option instead. However, a bit of a sticker shock because the roti w/ curry came out to like $10. Other than that, the food was good. Pad Thai was surprisingly a bit spicy but manageable.

    We have been to this location twice and the resulting food was vastly different between the first visit and the most recent one. I got the same order both times. The first time my yellow curry was flavored well enough, the vegetables and chicken seemed cooked to the right degree, and I thought "well we'll come back again. It's conveniently located and my boo loved her green curry." Fast forward to the 2nd/most recent visit. What happened? Number one the price was higher than locally available, turns out it included rice even though I said we don't want rice. But the worst was my curry was not good. The color was yellow but the flavor was as bland as paper white. The vegetables were cooked good but the chicken was dry and seemed over cooked. Did I mention the rice that I didn't want? We found this out once home a short distance away. Fortunately my boo was again happy with her green curry. Ambiance - mmmmm, no. The place is wedged between a smog shop and a muffler shop. It has off street parking, 3 spots shared with the muffler place :-| You might think "ok maybe this is like one of those houses that look blah outside in a bum neighborhood but looks palatial inside. Nope. Blah inside too. Unfinished, poorly designed, very amateur looking. I really hope they had a reason to rush to open and the future plan is to invest in looking a lot better as well as the food taste. We'll *possibly* give them ONE more shot cause they are really really conveniently located. But that'll be the tie breaker between "one poor experience" and "done, never again, convenient or not".

    Finally here...

    I came here and didn't want to but we were hungry and my husband was game. I wasn't too jazzed but then I saw that they have a lot of gluten free options which is fine, because these are dishes that don't typically have gluten. I hope this doesn't hurt them. But the person working there greeted us and sat us down at a table. He was very nice and I loved that they labeled the food as gluten free. And it was very, very good! I loved it. I had the Thai iced coffee which was good. My husband got the iced tea. It was warm enough. But I got the bbq pork and it was very flavorful and I ate it with the cabbage. My husband got another dish and he liked it. I had leftovers and they did heat up well. The place is very cute inside. I was bummed that there weren't more people but I saw a number of people come in and get food to go which is good. But, I hope that people discover this gem. It's truly good and is much easier to get to than Point Richmond.

    Mango with Sweet Sticky Rice

    After finding out Berkeley Thai House closed, I made sure to add PraJam Thai to my bucket list. A cute, 'hole in the wall' feeling spot, I'm glad I was made aware of this restaurant. The folks working here are very friendly and attentive to those dining-in. I had the yellow curry, a personal Thai favorite of mine. I was thoroughly pleased with the dish. For the cost, the portion was substantive and the flavor mirrored what you would hope for in a decent yellow curry (nothing earth-shattering, however). My girlfriend had the Pad Se Ew. As I'm not a fan of soy sauce, I will refrain from making my own comments. That said, she was delighted with the dish. As far as her Mango Sticky Rice goes (of which she is somewhat of a connoisseur), it seemed as though some of the expected sweetness was missing.

    Yellow curry
    Sanilie F.

    One of the worst Thai restaurants I've ever been to. The service was great, staff was friendly but the food was not good. It was mainly the yellow curry. They don't have the consistency or flavors right. Usually, you taste the curry and other spices but this one was lacking. The Thai tea also was not the best.

    Love this restaurant

    Back again to try the lunch special, and once again, we were impressed! The super friendly service and great ambiance make this a go-to spot. They open early, so it's perfect for a Thai brunch. The lunch special is simple yet satisfying -- you get to pick an appetizer, main dish, a protein, and a drink. Every dish we tried was fresh and absolutely delicious. If you haven't already, give PraJam a try -- you'll love it!

    Food was good! They have lunch specials $18. Would recommend if you're in the area! Hidden gem

    Yellow Curry

    This is a small little place with about 3 parking spaces out front. The service was great however the food was not the best. Anytime I go to a new Thai place I order the same thing, my favorite Thai dish which is the Thai Yellow Curry with chicken. The portions were good, lots of chicken in the curry however the flavor was off. Not as much spices or flavor and the chicken was dry. I can't speak to any other dishes on the menu besides the yellow curry, which has left me reluctant to go back. They were pretty empty when I came, I was the only one dining in. They are a fairly new restaurant in the area so I hope they do well.

    If you see this guy you're in the right spot..

    Really good new Thai spot on San Pablo just into Richmond. We had the spicy curry noodle soup and it was huge and delightful. Super soft tofu , tons of noodles, flavor.etc. Eggplant dish Devine. Service great , fast and friendly! Highly recommend!

    Is this a vegetarian restaurant or do they have meat dishes also? How long is this restaurant been open?

    They have meat dishes too. I think it's been open less than a year. Definitely not very long. I love this restaurant.

    It's been at least 5 years since my last visit to Sue's Kitchen, so I'm glad to find that my fave…read moreThai spot in the East Bay is still open for business. While some of the dishes hit the sweet spot for me, others left me wishing for something different. Our group ordered 6 different menu items to share and everything came out in quick succession: Nam Khao, Yum Pla Muek, Khao Soi, Pad Thai, Som Tum Gai Yang, and Massamun chicken curry. Of these dishes, the star was the Nam Khao. I loved the crunchy little grains of rice and the fermented pork added a nice tangy flavor profile to each bite. It would've been great if the dish had more pork pieces in it though. Yum Pla Muek (squid salad) had a spectacular sweet and sour dynamics overall, but ratio of protein to veggies needed an improvement. Despite the name, the dish felt more like a scavenger hunt for squid pieces hidden inside the sea of cabbage. Khao Soi was great in that the broth leaned more on the clear side rather than being overwhelmingly drowned in coconut milk. Flavor-wise, it was delicious but a bit oversalted for my taste. Pad Thai is pretty decent. The sweet and tangy mix was definitely present and the noodles were cooked to perfection. Somehow, I felt like it was missing something within its aromatics profile. Perhaps the green onions should've been lightly tossed with the noodles at the end rather than sprinkled on top as a garnish. Som Tum was dissappointing in my opinion. Judging from the appearance of the papaya shreds, the preparation process might've skipped the authentic "tum" (pounded) part in the goold ol' stone mortar and pestle. The flavor was also a bit bland and the usual basic ingredients like peanuts, green beans, and dried shrimps, were nowhere to be found. Gai Yang (grilled chicken) pieces were pretty good. However, instead of steamed rice, they really shoul've included sticky rice to keep the dish's authenticity. I wouldn't recommend this dish if you're a die-hard fan of the original version. Massamun chicken curry was a bit too thin in the curry part. I didn't personally try this dish, but the general comments from those who did was that it was just mid. Overall, there's no doubt I'll be hitting Sue's Kitchen up again soon. Service there was quick, attentive, and efficient. Their price-point is also very reasonable for the portion size of the food. I'd recommend this place for anyone who wants quick and delicious Thai-Laotian food in a more quaint neighborhood of East Bay.

Their friendliness is the main reason I'm giving two stars instead of one. Unfortunately, the food was a completely different experience for me. Everything I ordered was overwhelmingly oily. I don't mean slightly greasy--I mean so saturated with oil that it overpowered virtually everything else. At one point, I felt like I might as well have bought a bottle of (spicy) red hot chili oil and tried drinking it through a straw. I ordered a mild curry, but after only a few bites, my mouth was on fire from the unexpected chili oil. More importantly, I couldn't taste the complexity or balance of Thai spices I was expecting. The curry sauce seemed to be watery without any thickness yet somehow excessively oily at the same time. The vegetables were also severely overcooked. Instead of having any texture, they were extremely soft and mushy. Between the mushy vegetables, excessive oil, and lack of discernible flavor, I simply couldn't continue eating. I genuinely dislike leaving a review this negative because the staff were very nice, and I had high hopes based on the reviews. However, I spent far too much money on a meal that I ultimately couldn't eat and ended up throwing away while still hungry. I was specifically trying to find a good Thai restaurant closer to home rather than spending time on a long BART ride into San Francisco for some of the Thai restaurants I've enjoyed around the Inner Sunset area. Unfortunately, this didn't come close to what I was hoping for.
