Ordered pad kee mao, pad thai, baby back ribs, spicy fried rice and beef salad for the table to share. Food comes out quickly after placing an order.The spicy fried rice has a kick to it, but a great option if you like spicy. There was no option to select a spice level when we ordered the pad kee mao, and it came out spicy. It doesnt come with basil but instead its stirfried with green beans, red pepper and tomatoes. Can't go wrong with pad thai. It was saucy with all the flavors of sweet, salty and sour. The baby back ribs are a must try! Some pieces have bones, while others do not. The meat is deep fried, but each piece is tender and juicy. It wasn't too greasy and was delicious when paired with the sweet and sour sauce. The grilled beef salad was a refreshing dish tossed with herbs, green apple and red onions in a lime and fish sauce dressing. The one downside was that the beef was a little tough. I can see why there is almost always a line out the door. Will definitely be back again to try other items on the menu

So when I…read morediscovered Little Plearn Thai by my alma mater that caters to the student budget, went all out for their holiday decor, I knew I had to stop by. Arrived with 10 min left for their HH discount so got their two mojito and sunrise mocktails and 3 appetizers, satay chicken, curry puff, and potstickers. Then onto their dinner menu of Moo Dang dry noodles and ginger sole before finishing off with one of their fun holiday drinks for dessert, the peppermint eggnog for just $8.50. Even the ones with alcohol were only $10-$11. For the price of a few drinks at a popup bar, we got drinks, dinner, and leftovers for lunch. Must be the Econ major in me.

The corn cakes were fried just right so they were golden on the outside but soft on the inside and the slaw and sweet sauce elevated it. I would get both appetizers again. For entrees we had: Mama Pad Kee Moa (3.5/5) - instant noodles with fresh veggies and very thin beef. Flavor was good, but the beef missed the mark because it was lacking. Massaman Gai Curry (5/5) - the curry was so flavorful in this dish and the soft potato complimented it very well. Definitely the winner of the night. Chicken Khao Pad (Fried Rice) (3/5) - rice was a little too dry and the thinly cut chicken again did not pop out in the dish. Overall, very fresh and authentic Thai dishes. Service was fast and attentive. There are plenty of seating options to dine in, but I also saw a lot of take out orders. Street parking can be difficult on Shattuck but easier to find on the side streets.

The green curry noodles came with vermicelli, and I wanted to try it since it's what they recommend, but it just was not the right texture for the curry I felt. The flavor of the curry itself was not super flavorful. I felt like more coconut milk could have been added to coat the noodles more. The spring rolls were good. I enjoyed the peanut sauce. We also sat at the front by the door, and it was rather cold in that seat.

From the moment you walk through the door, the space feels welcoming, clean, and lively--a cozy, casual dining room with just the right buzz, whether you are stopping by for a relaxed weeknight dinner or gathering with a group to feast family-style. The menu is expansive, inventive, and deeply grounded in traditional flavor profiles. Frankly, it is one of those places where you want to order every single item in sight. The Food - Sweet Pumpkin Curry Puffs: Crisp, flaky pastry on the outside with a comforting, spiced pumpkin filling. An absolute must-order starter, especially for fall. - Pumpkin Curry: Silky, aromatic, and rich with coconut milk and warm spices. The chunks of tender pumpkin soak up the curry broth beautifully without turning mushy. - Grilled Pork Jowl (Pork Neck): Spectacularly prepared. Perfectly charred around the edges, succulent, and truly melts in your mouth with an addictive savory richness. - Freshwater Big Head Prawn Noodles: A showstopper. The prawns are massive and impart a rich, sweet seafood essence into every bite of the noodles. - Whole Turmeric Fish: Golden-crisped to perfection while keeping the flesh flaky and moist.

There's always something new and their menu is extensive if you're looking for an adventurous sweet treat. I've had their khanom sai sai (more of a savory dessert with coconut cream, pandan, and chewy glutinous flour) and coconut pudding with taro. FIRE. All of it so unique and way more delightful than some bowl of ice cream. The heart of this place is of course the friendly, considerate, and loving staff.

I now understand why it is the unofficial dish of Thailand - Hat Yai Fried Chicken: this was actually very good! the meat was super juicy, while the outside was nice and crispy - Pad Thai: this is my staple dish, and this place absolutely nailed it! - Sweet Sticky Rice & Mango: this was the perfect after-dinner treat If you are ever in the area, I highly encourage you to give this place a try! The staff were all super friendly, and food was so comforting and delicious. This is the true definition of a hidden gem.

There are several tables for pairs or parties of four, plus some artwork displayed. There was only one server who was juggling customers, but we were well taken care of. My best friend and I shared Roti Dip, Pad Thai with Chicken, and Yellow Curry with Tofu. The roti was so flaky and warm! The Pad Thai tasted good and was typical of the ones I've had. The curry was robust and flavorful! Being mild, it was a bit spicier than we had anticipated. So if you have a low spice tolerance, keep that in mind! We also got Thai Tea, which was refreshing! Portion sizes were good, and we took our leftovers to go. Sistory Thai Kitchen is an addition to the Albany and North Berkeley area. I wouldn't mind coming back to try their brunch!

I wish there was a little bit more meat in it though. The pad thai was very saucy tasted so good. The noodles weren't soggy at all and had a lot of meat throughout.
