    Fiery beef, chicken coconut soup, and the chicken curry all coupled with coconut rice. This is the very definition of a great dining experience. Highly recommended.

    Good: rainbow salad, catfish curry, superstar shrimp. Average: chilli lamb, fiery beef, eggplant with garlic sauce. Bad: tea leaf salad, samosas, garlic noodles, crispy chicken, walnut shrimp.

    LOVE this place, as do my daughters (10 and 12) so it's a perfect place for family dinner night. Try the coconut rice with the skillet shrimp.

    Tea leaf salad is so authentic and on point. Decent cocktails and great lunch specials featuring the mango chicken. I crave this place all the time!

    Mango mojitos and mimosas are great. Tea leaf salad is yummy. And spicy shrimp with rice is so good, u dont need anything else with it.

    The tea leaf salad is fabulous, and since I come from the East Coast, I get it every time I visit Alameda.

    If mangos are in season, I highly recommend any of their mango-infused entrees. Coconut rice is amazing. Samusa soup is pure bliss (especially for the heat seekers at the table). Don't forget dessert!

    Everything here is good. Order it all, and don't worry about the hefty bill at the end. It's worth it.

    OMG! The Tea Leaf Salad is AMAZING! But, the #62 (Nom Gyi Tuk?) was forgettable :( It was nothing like it sounded in the menu.

    This place has been sued by it's workers for alleged labor law violations. Knowing that, their food became a lot less palatable.

    Surprisingly lives up to the hype, on all counts, which explains the crowd and wait at peak hours.

    White sangria is wonderful & refreshing. Not the place for a "real" cocktail though.
