I've always ordered delivery, but finally dined in on a late night with a friend, the service was excellent. The tom kha was velvety and delicious. I don't typically like Thai papaya salad. I prefer the Cambodian or Laos style better, but it wasn't bad here. I always order the pad see ew, and they never disappoint!
Great food! Staff were friendly and very helpful with recommendations! Nice spot to grab some Thai food to dine in or take out.
I ordered food delivered from Eat at Thai's for the first time yesterday. I am glad to say that it arrived in pristine condition: neatly boxed, still warm, and attractive to the eye. As a vegan I ordered veggie spring rolls and praram with tofu and extra vegetables. Both tasted fresh and delicious. Big plus that they kept the spiciness level of the praram low at my request and added so many colorful vegetables. Finally, I appreciated that the food came in paper boxes, but I guess the restaurant is located in Berkeley, so that makes (good) sense! I will definitely try this restaurant again in the future.
Was craving Thai food late at night, so I went to Eat at Thai. When I walked in I was greeted right away and my order was taken quickly. I ordered my go to of Pad Thai with tofu and at a medium spicy level. My order took about 10 minutes to arrived and it was delicious! The tofu tasted great and it's definitely leans authentic Thai food, which means it's spicier than what most Americans consider to "mild" and is a stronger spiciness level. Aside from my the food, the space is great. It's a big restaurant with plenty of dark wooded tables and chairs and nice lighting. So it's a good spot to bring s date, group of friends or family. Also have to highlight that it's one of the few actual restaurants in Berkeley (that's not a bar/dance club) with legit late night. Eat at Thai is open past midnight, which is helpful and rare. I will definitely come back here to try more of their dishes.
Overall service was great. My chicken pad Thai was delicious especially after a long night of driving. My experience couldn't have gone better. Went in about 11pm and the ambiance wasn't too bad. They are available For pick up or dine in.
Food was pretty good, service was great, ambiance was differently weird. Overall, I would come back to try.
Very comfortable restaurant. Love the tables and chairs. Nice ambiance. Service is good, with friendly staff. Food was served within a reasonable amount of time. It was delicious and taste good! Definitely recommend this place when you are in Berkeley, CA!
