This recently opened Thai restaurant on San Pablo Ave is amazing! I made a reservation for 6:15 PM on Wednesday. When we arrived, we were impressed with the ambiance. The wood panel walls and warm furniture gave an elevated 1970's vibe. We were a group of three, and ordered a few items: stuffed chicken wings, which were recommended by the server/host, house larb, spicy eggplant with a side of white rice, and pad see ew with prawns. Everything was well seasoned, came out quickly/ around the same time, and was plated beautifully. The larb (pictured) had a nice spice to it, with fresh chilies throughout the dish. I particularly loved the pad see ew, as the prawns were perfectly cooked. We also ordered a bottle of wine, and their presentation of serving the wine was excellent. We were too full to order dessert, but I would absolutely come back to try something off the dessert menu! I will absolutely be back. This place was at the same level to me as Larb in El Cerrito, which is one of my favorite restaurants in the East Bay. I'm now going to need to split my time between both Glom and Larb! read more

This Thai spot in Berkeley gets 5 stars from me!! I really enjoyed all their dishes, including their crispy morning glory salad, tom kha that was loaded with seafood, beef cheek panang curry, and drunken noodles. Everything was seasoned perfectly - don't forget to asked for pickled chilis if you want a little extra heat! The morning glory salad was unique and flavorful, and I appreciated the julienned makrut lime leaves on the panang curry. The Thai Tea was thick and creamy. Service was attentive and the inside of the restaurant was cute. Would definitely stop by again to try their crab fried rice and more. Really lovely meal. read more

Cute and intimate Thai spot that just opened; the interior is very cute and jazz-like with it's wooden finishes. We came for an early dinner and had a good time, the service was extremely kind and attentive. The pacing of the dishes wasn't great and did throw off the meal. We had two dishes arrive and had enough time to finish and waited a bit before our final entree arrived. At that point, we were too full to finish the dish since we sat for awhile. I know they just opened last month so I will give them the benefit of the doubt and hope it's resolved by my next visit :) Morning Glory Salad - the star of the show. We didn't think we'd enjoy the dish as much but it was so good. The morning glory is fried and compliments well with the dressing (sour and spicy) with fresh tomatoes, onions, etc. Crispy Garlic Duck - good, but the duck was a bit bland and dry. Pad Thai - good, a bit more salty than previous dishes. Did not have the traditional sweet element. Mango Sticky Rice - delicious, no notes! read more

Hello, Morning Glory! The veggie, ya pervs. If you're like me....find salads boring and a poor value at restos, Glom's Morning Glory Salad will change that. It was so bomb. I. Could. Not. Stop. Eating. It. But, more on that later. Opening last month, Glom is serving Thai comfort food with a modern, elevated flair and natural wines to pair. They feature monthly specials. All sauces and curries are made from scratch. It's a small, intimate space so rezzies are recommended for weekend dinner. F O O D * Crispy Morning Glory Salad w/ ground pork, cherry tomatoes, shallots, cashews, and lime dressing ($22): https://tinyurl.com/5n6pzmdz An explosion of flavors and textures, this salad combines feathery-light, crispy tempura-battered water spinach with savory ground pork, sweet cherry tomatoes, and buttery toasted cashews. The sweet, sour, and spicy lime dressing brings everything together... adding a bright kick that keeps each bite balanced and interesting. * Stuffed Wings: Thai-style stuffed chicken wings filled w/ pork, sticky rice, chili, toasted rice powder, house spice ($17): https://tinyurl.com/3cd2ayu8 The wings were fried beautifully with a light, shatteringly crispy exterior. Unfortunately, the sticky rice was mushy and bland, and I couldn't detect any pork. Perhaps adding shallots and mushrooms would give the filling more flavor? * Braised Beef Penang: Phanaeng curry w/ braised wagyu beef cheek, jasmine rice ($27): https://tinyurl.com/4ktuuzsc Rich and creamy with mild heat and subtle sweetness, this bold, flavorful curry has layers of complexity. Its velvety, gravy-like consistency from the peanuts clings to the meltingly tender wagyu beef cheeks. While it includes a bowl of white rice, you'll def need to order another to share. * Crying Tiger: Grilled ribeye steak w/ house tamarind dipping sauce ($24): https://tinyurl.com/4n8j8sdh Charcoal grilled, the ribeye was perfectly medium rare - juicy and tender with a smoky charred flavor. Served with a punchy nam jim jaew for dipping and fresh herbs to cut through the richness. S E R V I C E Warm and gracious Thai hospitality from start to finish. Our server, Nina, was fantastic...despite being the only person on the floor, she remained attentive throughout our meal, keeping our water glasses full, clearing empty plates promptly, and thoughtfully packing up our leftovers. Courses arrive at a relaxed pace. A M B I A N C E Vintage retro vibes with soft moody lighting ideal for date night or GNO. Small dining room with seven tables, three high tops, and two outdoor tables. Awesome jazz covers of popular r&b, pop, and edm songs. P A R K I N G Street parking. Easily found during lunch but I can imagine it being challenging during peak dinner time. Overall, we had a very enjoyable meal at Glom. The resto feels like an extension of someone's cozy home where beloved Thai dishes are served with bold yet approachable flavors and thoughtful modern touches. We'll def be back to try the Garlic Pepper Jumbo River Prawns! read more

$7 Iced Pandan: a sweet banana leaf drink. Good $22 Grilled Herb Chicken Khao Soi: curry sauce, noodles with herb chicken. I tried my 1st Khao Soi (with steak) down in Monterey and enjoyed it immensely. This is my 2nd Khao Soi. I would say the chicken lost its gamey taste once I pushed it down into the sauce. I think the recipe deserves a high quality chicken or a variety of chicken prevalent in south east Asia. Lovely atmosphere. It's an intimate, slightly upscaled rendition of something from the 50's or 60's but very Thai coded. read more

We started with the lightly battered oyster mushrooms, which were crispy, flavorful, and made a great appetizer. The roasted duck curry was also really good and had an unexpected combination of lychee and pineapple that added a nice touch of sweetness to the rich curry. The highlight of the meal was definitely the morning glory dish that everyone recommends. It absolutely lived up to the hype! It had so much flavor with the perfect crunch in every bite. I'd definitely come back again. The only downside is parking--it can be pretty difficult to find a spot, especially during busy hours. Other than that, the food was well worth the visit! read more

This place is small, so make a reservation. We had a group of 8, and they had our table ready when we arrived. The menu has a good amount of variety, so everyone in our group found something they liked. We ordered family style, and everything was delicious. The plating was elegant. Service was attentive. Would definitely eat here again. Everyone in our group raved about it after. read more

It's a soft opening so I think they have several teething problems. We'll have to come back later to properly assess it. We had a vegan friend in our group and we called that out to our server many times: we ordered a vegan dish but the server seems to have entered a similar-sounding dish with pork into the system and we didn't find out until our friend tried it and nearly threw up. The server generally was totally unaware of the new menu and they also tried to charge us for the wrong dish until we caught it at the end. The other dishes were just okay: the charcoal grilled fish could have used a sauce and the morning glory stir fry was also lacking a punch. read more

Probably the best Thai restaurant in the Bay Area. The Khao Soi is easily the standout dish -- the chef makes the curry paste from scratch, and you can taste the difference. The broth is rich, fragrant, and deeply flavorful, with a level of freshness and complexity that makes this one of the best Khao Soi dishes I've had, including those in Thailand. The Green Apple Pork Belly Salad is another must-order. The bright, crisp green apple adds a refreshing contrast to the tender, savory pork belly, creating a perfect balance of flavors and textures. Beyond the food, the restaurant has a cozy atmosphere with chill pop music that gives the space a relaxed, modern feel. Everything feels authentic and thoughtfully prepared, with an honest approach to quality ingredients and flavors. read more

Came here for a date night and the vibe was cozy, intimate, and upscale. The mustard-yellow leather seating, warm lighting, and soft jazz covers in the background made for a very romantic atmosphere. My bf had mentioned on the reservation that we were celebrating something, and after we were seated, the staff surprised us with a couple glasses of champagne. Such a thoughtful touch. Service throughout the night was warm, attentive, and welcoming. Highlights from the meal: - Prawn & Minced Pork Kuakling - Packed with flavor and definitely brought the heat. The house-made curry paste was rich, spicy, and incredibly aromatic. A must-order if you enjoy authentic Thai spice. - Grilled Herb Chicken Khao Soi - Very juicy grilled chicken thighs. The lime, pickled greens, and red onion balanced the rich coconut curry perfectly. - Morning Glory - Simple but delicious. The crisp stir-fried greens were a great contrast to the richer dishes. - Iced Pandan (to-go) - Refreshing and not overly sweet. My bf is a huge pandan fan and loved it. Looking forward to coming back and trying the crispy garlic roast duck! read more

Really good! We visited today for lunch and the restaurant was about 3/4 full. We had the spicy eggplant and seafood stew. Both were terrific. Portions are generous (especially for the price) and I was glad that it was possible to add tofu to the eggplant dish. Our only complaint was that the eggplant dish didn't come with rice (but the seafood dish did) -- seems like all dishes should come with rice. Lovely, beautiful interior and very friendly service. We'll be back again! read more

Probably the best thai restaurant in east bay right now! Crispy morning glory salad is sublime!!!

I came with five friends, and it came out to about $50 -$60 per person. The food was absolutely delicious :) it really felt like we were eating in Thailand. My favorite dishes were the chicken larb, glass noodle salad, and the herb-topped whole fish ( Pla lui Suan ) The only thing I didn't love was the amount of garlic in some dishes; because I'm not bid fan garlic Next time, I'd love to try some of the other menu items. The restaurant is well managed, and the service was excellent and very good vibes read more

Went into an empty restaurant and were told we couldn't be seated because they had a reservation in an hour. I think the hostess just flubbed, then doubled down when we asked why. Rather than telling us they were full, she stated listing their reservation times, the first of which was an hour away, so it took a minute to understand what she was implying. Usually when a restaurant needs a table by a certain time, they just say so. ‍ read more

Glom offers a few solid selections on authentic Thai cuisine. The updated interior from its predecessor is inviting and warm. Great branding and light boxes that hit good. Soft launch service is often frenetic, so will be back once they've hit their stride. read more

I was floored by how cute and modern this place is! We were greeted by a bubbly waitress and tried a bunch of different dishes. Specialty chicken wings: 5/5 Massaman lamb curry: 5/5 Pad see yew: 4/5. I wanted more char on the noodles but still delicious ! Morning Glory salad: 5/5. Our taste buds weren't ready for this ! So flavorful and delicious! I do wish the sauce was on the side thought because I felt like I needed to eat this fast so the veggies wouldn't get soggy. The morning glory is deep fried. So tasty and crunchy! We also got someone else's chicken wings dish that was stuffed with sticky rice and the waitress was kind enough to just let us keep it on the house. I love this mom and pop thai restaurant! Please support this place and try everything! We had to pack food to go since portions are generous ! Can't wait to go back and try other things ! read more

Good food, not perfect. Good service, not perfect. Ambiance, ok. Prices, high. In summary, we enjoyed our meal. Staff were responsive. Our bill was at the top end of our range.

We came on a Friday during their soft opening, so it was pretty busy and there weren't many tables available. I'd definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time.
