    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!

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

    Hidden gem in El Sobrante that serves up some of the best Laotian and Thai food in the Bay Area…read more Every time we visit, must-orders are the Nam Khao (crispy rice ball salad with fermented pork sausage and fresh herbs) and Ka Soy (Laotian noodle soup). If you see Nam Khao on the menu of a Laotian/Thai restaurant, that means they know what they are doing just because it's so labor-intensive to make a salad(!) and the fermented pork has to be damn-near perfect for this salad to really shine and round out the fresh herbs and seasonings which includes lime juice, vinegar, and fish sauce. Ka Soy (the noodle soup) is a comfort food enjoyed in Southeast Asia. It's not the Thai-style where it's a curry broth and the noodles are fried, so let's not get it mixed up. Instead, it's bone broth that been simmered for hours and it's somewhat a lighter broth. The noodles are wide rice noodles in a big bowl of hot broth served with a mixture of ground pork cooked down with tomatoes along with fresh bean sprouts, scallions, and cilantro - simply a divine noodle soup that a must-try. It's not overly complex in terms of flavor, but it's a bowl of good ol' noodle soup that is comforting and great-tasting. If you haven't tried Laotian food, give Sue's Kitchen a try. try some new flavors and you may just become a regular (if you aren't already). The owners are friendly too! It's a husband-and-wife team!

My parents came here last year and said the food was good BUT the crab fried rice was fishy so... I decided to just get regular fried rice and chicken wings. I was really looking forward to it since they have such high ratings but boy was I WRONG.

Also, "15 minutes seems too quick for them to cook the food" Well yeah my dad was 100000% right! The chicken tasted as if it was cooked then REFRIED. The meat was dry as he**. The skin was too hard and just unpleasant. The fried rice was disgusting. It didn't even taste like fried rice. If anything it had a weird taste and a dash of pepper. My mom said it literally tasted like BENS RICE OUT OF A BOILED BAG! No eggs even were in it! I'm just so pissed because this was supposed to be our dinner after an 8+ hour drive. I will be calling to request a refund since they closed after we received our food back at the hotel. I had to just throw the whole thing away! Yeeeeeucccckkkk

We ordered chicken satay to start (comes with a nice helping of peanut sauce and cucumber salad), a pad Thai for the table with tofu, and a few lunch plates including the yellow curry, pad krapow, and spicy eggplant. Everything was packed full of flavor, and they bring a spice/sauce tray out to the table if you need to bring your dish up a notch. The lunch special comes also with a 2-piece appetizer like potstickers, egg rolls, and curry puffs which I thought was a nice touch. Plenty of shopping center adjacent (and free) parking, and wallet friendly. They serve Thai/Laos beer, wine, and a nice dessert menu.
