Leena: samusa soup = must-have. also awesome: tea leaf salad, lemongrass salmon, coconut rice. skip the catfish curry.
Anna Hennings: Eating vegan here is easy and delicious! The rainbow salad (no wontons) is the best. Sesame tofu, mango tofu, coconut rice...And the Pear Ginger Kiss is such a refreshing cocktail.
tonaka diane: @Burma Superstar, I love this place every dish is the yummiest, but I really love the basil chicken and be sure to add the coconut rice which is the best Ive ever tasted.

Terence Chan: Delicious ramen! The menu is always changing and yet everything is always good. Poke and the fried rice is delish!
Evonne Wong: They have a pretty extensive menu from noodles to rice plates to desserts. Everything is good... but I am hoping to see more varieties in their dessert menu. Love that they are open till late!
Trev ✌: baked pork chop rice! and iced milk tea coffee!
Ying Lin: Great Cantonese style desert and cafe dishes. honey lemon tea, Taiwanese style ball boa tea, beef(the belly part) wide rice noodle soup are so authentic!

Joseph Boyle: Get the nam khao - rice crispies and pork bits with scallion, chile, ginger, peanuts and lime juice that you wrap up with mint and cilantro in lettuce.
Raffaello Turo: Kao soy. Angel wings sticky rice, pad thai
Kenny T: Make sure you order the angel wings with a side of sticky rice!! The Kao Piak is great for hangovers and will let the devil of you!

Christina L: I love the fried chicken pop up. I wish it was open more days in the week. My fav is the garlic miso chicken with the rice and salad side washed down with a nice frosty Sapporo. ❤️
Camden Tayler: All of the dry and wet seasonings for the fried chicken are amazing, but if you're getting a rice bowl, the BBQ sauce is the best option by far. Also, get the deviled avocado when it's in season!
Rich Manalang: Perfect spot for a Friday lunch and ride. Got the curry fried chicken and rice. Nomnomnom 👍👍
Sung Lee: The rice is made to order in stone pots. It's very special to have your personal pot of steaming rice, or a larger pot for the table. They say it taste better this way, instead of the rice cooker.
Michelle 👻: at the end of your meal, ask for tea and they'll add it to the stone bowl rice.
Marta Tappero: Loved Loved Loved. Place looks sketchy from the outside, but so genuine! Service is supper kind and generous. Food is delicious! Tofu soup and spicy rice.

Fion Lam: The crab fried rice and farmhouse wings are a must!
Joseph Kanginan: None of the foods we order is good. Tiger prawn Pad thai, fried rice, chicken noodle soup, fish cake, sausage are all so plain, tasteless. Definitely not authentic thai food
Nathan J: Some of the best Thai in Oakland. Pad Thai, fried chicken, and all the curry dishes are great.

Dawn: Cinnamon scented rice cakes
SFist: This fine-dining establishment hits the jackpot with endless options for vegan eaters, like the crusted king trumpet mushrooms with arborio rice and coriander seed dredge, and citrus-yuzu ponzu. Read more.
Oded Ouaknine: The English pea volcano rice cake is probably the best vegan dish I ever had
