Green Curry
Alice H.

We ordered the Pad kee mao, pineapple fried rice, and green curry. The Pad kee mao came with flat rice noodles, spicy saute sauce, eggs, bell peppers, white onions, green beans, tomatoes, and basil. We asked for it to be spicy, and it tasted really good. For the pineapple fried rice it came with rice, eggs, pineapple, cashew nuts, raisins, onions, and tomatoes. I'd say this dish was mediocre; it wasn't fragrant enough and tasted quite bland. The pineapple also wasn't very sweet, possibly because it's not in season. The green curry came with the bell peppers, eggplants, green beans, and basil. It tasted alright, but the eggplants were too mushy for my liking.

Stumbled upon this through Yelp, and really enjoy the food here. Very authentic with the real Thai spicy, medium spicy will make you cry. The roti in particular was so good and I normally don't even like curry the dip was just perfect and the roti was fluffy and crunchy at the same time. Attentive service. We will be back to try other dishes.

Pad se eew with chicken
Lauren S.

You could easily miss this place...but make a specific trip to stop in and enjoy. Inside was subtle decor just enough to say " oh that's nice" but not overwhelming. We were 3 to come in to make 5 all together. We sat in the quiet of the restaurant for a minute until this 10 person group made thier way in... making the place seem more warm and inviting. Down to the eats...I had to order fried shrimp rolls for an appetizer and yellow curry with fried chicken over basil thai fred rice. Our group also had Pad see eew and washed down with Thai lemonade...which was scrump!!!! Will do again if im around town. Ciao for now...

PAD THAI
Melody T.

Been wanting to try this Thai place! Quiet and peaceful on a rainy Saturday morning but the worker was super kind and thoughtful. He pulled over a table for us because we were splitting two dishes and he thought we could use more space. Food was really good for a good price too. Pad Thai for $16? In such a large quantity?? Amazing. I even have leftovers. I never had Kao soi before but I would get it again. Has a nice kick to it too. The Thai tea is on the sweeter side but I made sure to ask for it in a to go cup from the start because I like to take my time with my drinks. Will prob add more ice ;)

I was craving Thai food, so I ordered takeout from here. The interior looked stylish, and the food was delicious! Since it was takeout, I couldn't really evaluate the service.

Menu

I've had this restaurant bookmarked for quite sometime, so we decided to stop by for dinner on our way home. We didn't make a reservation but there were seats available around 6pm on a Sunday. There was already one large party and two other tables occupied when we arrived. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side but they did have two tables available outside. We ordered the following: - Wings (3/5) - crispy on the outside but lacked flavor on the inside. The Thai chili sauce on the side would have tasted better if it was drizzled on top of the wings. - Kanoom Jeen Nam Ngew (2/5) - this was their most popular item and it was very disappointing. The pork rib and shrimp paste stew did not taste good at all and made the entire soup sour. I couldn't eat it and my husband ended up eating it for me. The noodles were the best part. - Thai Fried Rice with Pork (3/5) - the pork tasted more like chicken and the rice was more moist so it wasn't a fried rice consistency. - Garlic Noodle (2/5) - could have used more garlic and the egg noodles did not pair well with the dish - Roti Gai Tod (3/5) - presentation was great and so was the chicken. The cucumber salad could have been more pickled. The curry was just ok since it didn't have a strong curry flavor. Overall, extremely disappointed with this restaurant even though it had such high reviews on Yelp...The amount paid did not meet the quality of the food. I don't think I'll come back again since I really enjoy Thai food and have somewhat of a high expectation when it comes to certain dishes.

Kao Soi
Stephanie L.

Cute little restaurant. Excellent service. Thai tea was delicious and sweet. Ordered Kao Soi with fried chicken -- portion was large and every component was cooked perfectly. The curry broth was incredibly flavorful with a nice medium spice level. Also got the Roti with fried chicken and rice and dipping sauces. On both dishes the chicken was moist and super crispy. Highly recommend this place.

CURRY PUFF - V
Ari Z.

Bold flavors and generous portions! My favorite appetizer is their curry puff - the pastry is so buttery and flaky and the yellow curry sauce was the best complement. If you like crispy, try their crab rangoons. The Oh! Beef Curry was my favorite entree. The slow cooked beef was perfectly tender. I tried their thai tea lemonade for this first time and it was so refreshing! I actually prefer it over the thai tea. Overall, absolutely delicious and filling meal.

PAD THAI
Breanne S.

Great food & service! We came on a Friday night & it was pretty busy. Food was delicious & so were the cocktails. We got Tom Kha, Pad Thai, Spicy Eggplant, Lychee cocktail, & Thai tea cocktail.

Kanoom Jeen Nam Ngew
David K.

Sistory Thai in Albany has a cozy interior and offers a menu of Chef Special dishes featuring regional Thai dishes hard to find in other restaurants! We started with the Papaya Salad (shredded papaya, carrots, green beans, tomatoes, chili, and crushed peanuts) and the Larb Kai (ground chicken, onions, cilantro, rice powder), both of which were intensely sour and spicy! From Northern Thailand, the Kanoom Jeen Nam Ngew was a stew made of rice noodles in a dark pork rib and shrimp paste broth, served with pork ribs, pork blood cubes, ground pork, shredded cabbage, bean sprouts, and chopped long beans. The noodle soup had a nice balance between the dark, meaty broth and the fresh vegetables and brought me back to the streets of Thailand! Also from the North was Kao Soi, made of egg noodles and braised chicken thighs in an intensely spiced yellow curry broth, topped with pickled mustard greens and crispy egg noodles! My favorite dish (though not by far) was the Kao Mok Kai, which fused Northern and Southern Thai flavors on one plate. This came with a crispy breaded chicken thigh fillet served with roti (a crispy, layered flatbread), yellow curry sauce, cucumber salad, and turmeric-spiced jasmine rice, which was addictively delicious. This was an incredible meal, and everything we had here was beautifully-plated, flavorful, and on point!

Garlic noodles for comparison, normal sized portion.
Cassandra T.

Update just for the manager being kind and refunding my money. I still will not go back here but I appreciate the gesture so I added 1 more star to let people know. The food does not taste bad, the flavor is quite good but my experience with the portion size was disappointing and not at all my experience with Thai food, which almost always has generous portions for that price.

Dee R.

Amazing food! The best Pad Thai ever! The veggie spring rolls are really good. They serve beautiful plates of food, as well as delicious! The restaurant is very nice, warm ambiance and very friendly service. My first time there but a regular dining place for my in-laws. They highly recommend it too!

With a weekend full of heavy rain showers, it was the perfect time to dip into Sistory Thai Kitchen in Berkeley for a solo date! There's plenty of paid parking spots outside, but coming after hours it was nice to skip the additional fees for once! Upon entering, I loved the overall aesthetic and vibe of the interior ~ warm, inviting, bright and just lovely! With this spot being a smaller business, I did notice they take reservations if wanting to secure/snag your table ahead of time (and have outdoor seating on a nice day as well!) Service was super attentive, and my meal came out promptly! I'm a huge fan of Pad Se Ew (with chicken), and also ordered the Spring Rolls as an app to start. Both dishes were fresh and full of flavor, and I can't wait to come back with a group to try more items from their fun & innovative menu! They also offer lunch specials during the week and Brunch on the weekends. My husband and I took a trip to Thailand for our honeymoon and have been searching for a spot that makes Khao Soi (a Northern-Thai curry noodle soup) and this dish is on their menu..so looking forward to round two next time with my husband!

I'm not often in the area but have been back to Banter a couple more times, including most recently…read morea couple of weeks ago. I have since learned that the online shop is just for pick up and shipping and that those bottles aren't necessarily in the wine bar itself so if you're looking to pick up something from the online store to drink in the wine bar, be sure to arrange that in advance (I'd suggest as early as possible) so they can have the wine brought to the wine bar and chill it if necessary so it's the proper serving temperature for you to drink in-house. I'm absolutely blown away by the wines they have on offer and the prices at which they're able to offer them. This is easily one of the best places to pick up higher end French wines for pretty competitive, if not the lowest prices in the area. They have cheese and charcuterie available and make a pretty good jambon beurre. From time to time, they'll host popups from local chefs and they will take over the food - we had some really delicious halibut crudo and duck confit, which paired nicely with our wines! Lastly, they host a ton of really great events. I randomly stopped in one night and it was a completely packed house for trivia night. I wasn't able to stay long, but it was awesome to feel the energy of the place. Even when it's quieter, I love the vibe with vinyl playing and old VHS tapes playing - very nostalgic!

I've been a patron of Vintage for years, and what's not to like? The location is gorgeous (a former pumping plant thats been transformed into a cozy, intimate space with a garden out front that changes with the seasons). And the shop is nestled right in the heart of Berkeley's Gourmet District with Peets, Saul's Deli, Cheeseboard Coop and Pizza, Andronico's, and Chez Panisse as next door neighbors. Inside you will find wines by color, grape, and region. It's not an enormous collection, but a lot of thought and experience has gone into presenting customers with something new and surprising. If I can't find myself making an easy decision, the staff have always been patient and helpful in finding the right bottle for my needs. Vintage also offers several different wine clubs for people who like a monthly or bimonthly grab bag of adult grape juice (including the occasional bubbles!). This is the wine store I wish I had as a neighborhood shop. For now, it's a well deserved destination (along with Kermit Lynch Wine Shop) that has yet to disappoint. Give it a try!
