Update: They put up a sign saying they're TEMPORARILY closed til Friday (unsure if that's today 7/17 at 5pm when they usually open or next Friday 7/24) Went there about a few months ago. Curry was incredible and the fried pork was delicious and the interior was beautiful. read more

Great food, generous portions, dependable service, best late night option I've picked up late dinners a few times. Once I picked up my order at closing time and left without my Thai iced tea (maybe I overlooked it, maybe they forgot to add it to the bag). I called the next day. They said I could come by any time to pick it up. Easy solution, no hesitation. Million Spoons' Thai ice tea is delicious! Worth an extra trip. read more

Disappointed that we made a trip to visit Friday afternoon and they weren't open. No note, no information. We waited for about half an hour and walked around the area. Even after two hours they were still closed :(( read more

FOOD IS VERY GOOD!! Came for lunch on a weekday and it was pretty packed! Ambiance was great too. I ordered chicken and rice which was so good. The rice was very well seasoned and chicken was so tender. LOVE IT!! Service was good, though there was only one person serving so food took quite awhile to come out. But they did offer mango sticky rice on the house which was a sweet gesture! Overall I'd definitely come back again. read more

Million Spoons - Chicken and rice - Desserts Near Me - Alameda, California

I am not sure if this restaurant is new, but I had never seen it before. My friend recommended it, and I'm glad she somehow knew about it. Service and Staff: - Came here on a Sunday afternoon, and it was empty. It started to fill in a little closer to 1pm - Our servers were nice Food and Drinks: - Thai Iced Tea: yummy and filling - Pad Thai: can order with chicken, tofu, beef, pork, or shrimp. Ordered with chicken, which was little dry. The tofu that already came with the dish was tasty, so I wish I just got extra tofu. It was a pretty large serving, so I had some leftovers. - Fried Chicken: also a larger dish. Filling and yummy. Miscellaneous: - Parking is available via street parking - Good for small and large groups - The restaurant goes back pretty far, so there are a lot of tables - When we went on Sunday at noon, it was very quiet read more

Parking was a bit difficult walking a few blocks and around the corner, but typical for Alameda to try and find parking. Our first time trying this restaurant and it is long and narrow. This is a good late night spot of your looking for a restaurant that is open late. It is open til 2 am most nights. I had the tilapia, crunchy fried well and I loved the dipping sauce not super spicy but tangy. It came with a side of ginger rice, tomato and a few slices of cucumber. I tried a few bites of the chicken and pork, nice crunch and definitely tastes better with the two dipping sauces. I did not try the roasted pork soup but I think it would be good on a cold evening. I would try a few more items if in the area. read more

Wow! Just picked up my first order at Million Spoons and I will definitely be coming back. So many great options -- can't wait to try the Khao Soi which I had last in Chiang Mai and can't seem to find anywhere else! I ordered the fried tilapia which comes with spicy lime sauce (so good!) and rice. I also ordered the chicken gyoza and steamed veggies ($3). I called in the order and they said it would take 30 mins and it did take a bit longer, but they were very nice about it. I asked for some chili oil/ hot sauce, and they gave me some delicious spicy Thai chilis cut up! The restaurant looks clean and beautiful; they're really making that narrow space work. Parking can be a bit of an issue in the area, but you can typically find it nearby. read more

Came here to get a dessert and I've been craving mango sticky rice. Since they do sell that here I got 2 incase one is not enough. Then I found this sign about buy 2 entrees and get 1 free mango dessert but it's a dine in only. What a bummer. If I only knew which the hostess didn't inform me with their special. Not really friendly place. Place has a nice interior seating. Maybe if I had time to dine in the future. read more

Decided to dine here based on the Yelp reviews. A lot of the options on the menu looked good. I couldn't decide so I asked our server what was more popular between the basil pork belly dish or the khao soi fried chicken, so I went with the latter. We also ordered the combo pork belly & steamed chicken and mushroom poppers as an appetizer. The mushroom poppers were deep fried enoki mushroom pieces. Could have used more seasoning, but had a nice crunch to them that would pair well with some beer. I liked the addition of peanuts on top of the sauce but wasn't feeling the sweet and sour very much. The khao soi was pretty thick, as another yelper mentioned but still enjoyable. I got it medium spicy, so it definitely delivered in that area. There were some raw shallots or red onion as a garnish, but overall felt a little monotonous and could have used pickled veggies in it or something more to cut the richness. The fried chicken was a little dry and difficult for me to bite through. It also got soggy (as expected), but I probably wouldn't order it together again. I tried the steamed chicken but again, wasn't a fan of the dipping sauces that came with it. They leaned more sweet and sour when I was craving a ginger scallion type of sauce. The inside is actually pretty spacious. I think the interior has potential and could use some work because the main walkway toward the bathroom was greasy/slippery. Also to note, the bathroom seems to be shared with other businesses since it was in a separate hallway. Service was very friendly and attentive, food was solid, but not particularly our favorite. Maybe just not geared toward our particular palettes. I'd be open to trying something else next time. read more

Little unassuming spot - take out, sit outside for lunch or the inside is cute. Could use some spiffing up in the visible storage areas (no one needs to see that) but otherwise comfortable We sat outside on a beautiful sunny Nov afternoon. I had massaman curry with chicken - the brown rice is terrific that comes with it and the sauce was good. I ordered medium which was clearly a gringo medium and needed some hot sauce. We had Tom yum with fried chicken. Sooo good. Both entrees were enough for two meals so at $40 it was very reasonable! Server was very sweet read more

Considering this place is on Park Street, you know parking will be street parking and may be difficult, and it was definitely the case, maybe because it's as Thursday, we didn't need to circle around too long. To my dismay, the restaurant was empty, which made me a little concerned, but still we went inside. Service was fast, as expected. We decided on Kao Mun Gai, and Basil Crispy Pork Belly. Kao Mun Gai 5/5: this was such a great dish! The rice was so flavorful, I almost ate all of it and I usually don't eat that much rice. Chicken was tender and moist. The spicy sauce was amazing as well. The broth was good to sip in between the bites. Basil Crispy Pork Belly 4/5: what a flavorful dish! You can really taste the basil in this dish. Pork belly was crispy and full of the basil and sauce. This paired perfectly with the white rice to soak up all the flavors. Add a bit of crushed pepper if you want some extra spice. This was a great find and I can't believe there's nobody inside the restaurant. Will definitely come back again! read more

This restaurant is located in the heart of downtown Alameda. There are plenty of metered parking spots around this restaurant. They have outdoor and indoor dining. We ordered the Half Steamed Chicken & Half Fried Chicken With Ginger Rice, Kao Soy Chicken, and a Grass Jelly Drink. Our food came out in a timely manner. The Steamed Chicken wasn't all that. The Chinese version of it tasted better. The Fried Chicken was ok and the Ginger Rice was very bland. It didn't even have a hint of ginger. The Kao Soy Chicken was flavorful and the chicken was tender. The Grass Jelly in a can was a big disappointment. The waitress should have at least pour the grass Jelly in a glass and add a mint to garnish it. read more

I came here for the Hainan chicken but tried the Khao Soi because of the reviews and recommendations. Food: Crab Fried Rice (5/5) - you can see and taste the lumps of crab, very addicting Khao Soy Fried Chicken (3/5) - generous portion, good flavor, but the curry was so thick and heavy, I could not eat more than 5 bites. This dish is just not my personal preference. Side of veggies (5/5) - only $3! Next time will try the Hainan chicken rice or beef noodle soup. read more

Delicious meal, great first impression. Decided to drop by with my husband and brother last night and we were the only people in the restaurant. The waitress was super nice and welcoming. We started with the fried chicken gyoza, which were made to order (I could see the cook drop them into the fryer in the kitchen from our table once the order was passed along to her). Very hot, super crispy, lots of juicy chicken inside. Nice soy sauce-based dipping sauce, too. Seven to an order. I got the spicy red curry with chicken and jasmine rice, my husband got the khao soi fried chicken, and my brother got the half steamed chicken, half fried pork belly. I also got some guava juice and an extra side of ginger rice. It didn't take long for the food to come out and every dish was great. I really loved my curry, which had a good amount of chicken and lots of vegetables. The ginger rice had a nice flavor and aroma and paired well with the curry. I also liked that the guava juice was a tall can of the Parrot brand, which isn't too sweet. Very refreshing. I tried some of my husband's khao soi and loved it, especially how crispy that chicken was. I didn't try my brother's dish but he enjoyed it, particularly the fried pork belly. He also loved the ginger rice when he took a taste of it. Portions were generous here; we thought we'd have room to try dessert but that wasn't happening after this meal. There's a LOT on this menu that I want to come back and try, and, frankly, I can't wait to. Our dishes were fresh, hot, and so good, and the dining room is a pretty, airy place that was nice to be in on this hot evening with the doors open and the breeze finally starting to kick in. I'm looking forward to making this one of my go-to restaurants for a meal out. read more

This is a hidden! We were getting a pedi at the Nail Shop down the street and wanted some comfort food and found Millions Spoons on Yelp so we decided to check it out. It was dinner time and luckily they weren't that busy so we we are seated right away. The service was great, the food was amazing! They strike a good balance on their menu - enough item but not overwhelming. We ordered the spicy mala, hainan chicken, steamed fish, and sticky mango rice The spicy mala was so comforting - the meat was so tender, the broth v flavorful and ofcourse could never go wrong w egg noodle. The hainan chicken was also delicious. The sauce was tasty and that ginger rice was perfect. The steamed fish was cooked perfectly! We love this place and would def comeback! read more

Recently opened Thai Restaurant on busy Park Street. Saw an IG ad and decided to try. We sat towards the rear of the restaurant as we didn't want to sit near the front with the open door and flying insects on a warm day. Big turn off. They also have parklet seating outside on the street but we opted for the quieter and exhaust-free interior. Food was standard Thai with nothing bad and nothing outstanding. We had: - Tom Kha Gai Soup which had good flavor. Lots of mushrooms which we liked. Good enough to eat with rice! - Grilled Beef Salad with the beef not having much grilled taste and being rather tough - Fried Chicken Wings which were decent - Tofu Yellow Curry which was good - Pad Thai was decent - Mango Sticky Rice which is free with the purchase of two entrees Service could stand for some improvement with the lone waitress not checking up on us other than taking our order and delivering our food and check. I went up and replaced a dirty soup bowl on my own rather than wait for assistance. The restaurant is a long rectangle and there were two occupied tables in the back and two in the front. Probably easier to check on the front tables near the kitchen entrance than the back ones. Just something for them to keep in mind as a new establishment. We didn't have much interaction with the waitress or any other staff which we found disappointing especially for a new establishment. Alameda has a lot of restaurants and customer relations should be a top priority in establishing long term, repetitive diners. read more

Date: 7/27/2025 Time: 2:25 PM 64° Cloudy Even though the address for Million Spoons says 1307 Park Street, the actual address is 1305 Park Street. At first glance I thought they were closed. One of my fellow yelper (Steve D) mentioned this business on his Facebook page. His photo of the noodle soup looked awfully delicious. Since the Downtown Alameda Art 'n Wine Faire is occurring today, I decided to stop in for their noodle soup. Besides the weather has been on the cool side. A large bowl of noodle soup, which I consider comfort food, would be warm for my tummy. I also ordered the chicken gyoza as a starter. I did not expect to get 8 pieces of chicken gyoza. My greedy butt ate all those gyoza. They were crunchy and delish. I did not want to take them home as leftovers. What was the result of eating those gyoza? I did not have enough room in my stomach for the won ton noodle soup. It had slices of barbecued pork (char siu), 2 shrimp, bok choy, pork won ton and egg noodles. Sitting there slurping the flavorful broth brought back my childhood memories of my mom preparing me won ton soup for dinner. Okay I have leftover noodle soup for dinner. Service was attentive. The waitress was pleasant and helpful. The ambiance is one of comfort and casual. Return visit: Yes, for the garlic noodles and egg rolls. read more

1307 Park St Alameda, CA 94501 ( Near Encinal Ave) "Million Spoons" is a new Thai restaurant on Alameda's Park Street. I was there on a Sunday evening, and the dining room looks beautiful. This place just opened, and they have a few bugs to fix. But I'm sure they can be easily corrected. Actually, I was walking by earlier and they were closed. There's no hours posted on the door, so I didn't know if they were open for business yet. Later, I saw that the door was open, so i walked in and the place was empty. I peeked in the kitchen, and a server greeted me and offered me a table. The young lady told me they close daily for a break, 330pm-5pm. This break isn't posted anywhere on the door, nor on the website or online. I looked over the picture menu, and decided to order the special half/half dish of steamed chicken and fried pork belly. It's served with ginger rice, broth, and black bean sauce. It took about 5-min for my food to arrive. I was a bit disappointed by the portion size. The presentation looked generous at first, but then I noticed they crowd the plate with the broth and sauces. Also, they put the sauces in small takeout containers. The food was tasty. The server suggested I add some black bean sauce to my rice to bring out the flavor. The chicken was a little dry. I was told it was thigh meat, but it looked like breast meat. Okay, next time I'm going to order a bowl of noodles. Another issue to fix, - they have no takeout menus. Right now there's a menu posted in the window, and we can look at their website. https://millionspoons.com/ Street parking. I usually park at Chochenyo Park and walk over. Good Luck and Best Wishes for your new restaurant. read more

They are known as Bangkok street food in Alameda. I've never been to Bangkok, but their food didn't disappoint. Their dishes are flavorful and each dish was presented nicely with little touches like sliced cucumbers and lettuce leaves. What we ordered: + Kao Mun Gai (Hainan Chicken) - the chicken was moist and tender over a choice of ginger or jasmine rice. It came with a bean sauce that punches up the flavor. + Fried chicken - crispy chicken cut into strips. This was quite good and stayed crispy. + Spring rolls - 4 veggie egg rolls with a Thai chili dipping sauce. Was good but could have been a little crispier. + Pad See Ew (with shrimp) - slightly sweet noodles with veggies and shrimp. Very flavorful and the shrimp and veggies were a hit. The noodles were a little clumpy, but overall very good. Overall, and great option for a casual meal with lots of flavor. read more

TBH I lost track of how many Thai places have been at this location--but no complaints there, my husband and I love Thai food and this place was delcious. Came here for lunch recently. Husband ordered Khao Soy and I had a Tom Yum noodle soup with fried chicken. We also shared the fried mushrooms. All the food was AMAZING. Their food has a really nice fry on it, and is well-seasoned. It was cold out so the Khao Soy and Tom Yum both hit the spot! We didn't intend to, but had dessert here (mango sticky rice) and it was great as well--portion was super generous Staff here are very friendly and helpful. Hope they do well here! read more

Another spot in ALAMEDA to try for, excellent food, price is reasonable. I love that they have this combination rice plate so you can have two kinds of meat in one plate. My favorite on this resto is their Fried Pork Belly and a side of broth to accompany this rice plate. I love soup in any type of weather so this is a spot for me here in ALAMEDA. Service is also excellent, so I give them TWO THUMBS UP !!! read more

Tried Million Spoons in Alameda for the first time and it was so good! I've been meaning to check it out since it opened, and I'm so glad I did. We parked in the nearby street parking and just walked over, super easy. The vibe inside is really nice, clean, bright, and welcoming. The staff was super friendly, which made the experience even better. We ordered a mix of dishes to try a little bit of everything: Hainan chicken, fried chicken, fried banana with ice cream, mango sticky rice, and the mango mousse cake. Everything was delicious! Comforting, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweet for dessert. Great new spot in Alameda! Can't wait to go back and try more!

This is definitely a new hidden gem in Alameda! I'm surprised there are not more dine-in customers. You'll be pleasantly surprised if you decide to try this place, as we were. We were walking by Park Street on an early Sunday evening, and there was not a single dine-in customer. We looked at the menu outside, and decided to give it a shot. Oh....my.....goodness... We tried so many of the Thai places down Park Street and nothing compares to the flavors of this place! We had two stir fries over rice: Basil w/Crispy Pork Belly, and the Prick Khing Gai (spicy curry/lemongrass Chicken). The flavors and aromas were so deep and aromatic. It really brings me back to 10 years ago when I lived in Boston where it is one of the Thai food capitals of the US. I've tried so many Thai places around the bay and this place really goes all out. They make their food almost "country style" which is known for the thicker sauces and curries with bigger flavor punches. Everything is fresh and the ingredients are high quality. The rice is also very fragrant Thai jasmine rice. The inside is quirky, kind of a bohemian/artsy kind of eclectic look, with half-booths that are chairs on one side, and an assortment of long benches/ottomans on the other. They're still doing their grand opening "deal" which is a free Mango w/ Sticky Rice dessert with the purchase of 2 entrees, Thailand's "national dessert". It was so amazing, with sweet champagne mangos, and a sweet and savory sticky rice with a very rich coconut milk sauce. One of the better MSR's I've had. I would definitely recommend anyone to try this place for AMAZING, no-BS Thai food. You will keep coming back. I was sold on the first visit. read more

First time trying out this place. It was a different Thai restaurant before which wasn't very good. I love that they have fried chicken as an option for this tasty Khao Soy dish that has good amount of heat with tangy flavor of lime added to tone down the spice. One recommendation is that I would serve the fried chicken separately to keep the crispy chicken intact otherwise it gets lost in the curry. Service was outstanding with the ladies checking in on you often. Definitely coming back to try other things off the menu. Price is very reasonable for Thai cuisine and if you come during their grand opening, you'll get a dessert at the end of your meal. Win win. read more

My wife and I were intrigued by the Southeast Asian style menu at Million Spoons....steamed chicken, pad thai, pad see ew, massaman curry, etc.....so mostly Thai I guess. We used to live in Singapore and are always on the lookout for Malay, Thai and Indonesian places to try. When I saw the steamed chicken rice plate, I knew we had to give this place go....cue memories of sitting and eating chicken rice in the hawker centers of Singapore. We started with the fried tofu starter, not bad and served with a sweet chili sauce that had peanuts as well. My wife ordered the chicken pad see ew, my Dad ordered the garlic fish, which featured a generous portion of fried basa (catfish) accompanied with a garlic dipping sauce. I ordered a split fried pork belly and steamed chicken combo with ginger rice. It should be noted that the tofu, fish and pork belly were deep fried....liked that the oil used was hot and clean; hate when a fried dish comes out with dirty oil and the off-putting flavors, etc. My dad and I enjoyed the ginger rice option we selected with our meals; kinda like the garlicky chicken rice we're used to with a strong ginger flavor too. Portions were generous and the flavors were pretty good....the pad see ew had an array of veggies and chicken (a tad dry) to go with the nicely sauced rice noodles. My pork belly was tasty and I used the chili and soy based sauces....very tasty. I didn't try the fish but my Dad ate everything and said he really enjoyed his meal. We had a nice sticky rice with mango for dessert.... Overall, we enjoyed our meal....the flavors were on point and our server was nice, managing the whole place by himself. Give this place a try! We'll be back to try some other dishes in the future.... read more

Found this place just walking down the street, was there grand opening so we got a free mango sticky rice dessert. Everything was mediocre, best dish was the fried chicken. The salad felt soggy. The curry was good but could have came out hotter (temperature), same with the ramen soup. We did come when they were closing from lunch service and we had to sit outside. I would try it again next time when I can sit inside. read more

To start off, the food seems like authentic northern Thailand with fresh and tasty ingredients. This could have earned them a 5 but there are a few downsides Main being a lack of meat. Though this may be traditional (and possibly healthier), it doesn't justify the nearly $20 per entree. Lower the price or up the proportion Second is the customer service. I know this is a family restaurant but would be better served by hiring a more personable person fluent in customer service style. Hello. Thank you. That kind of thing Did take out so not sure about ambiance but it looks a bit drab. The online menu is also full of typos- an easy fix read more

Million Spoons - Pork Belly with Spicy Basil Sauce and green beans - Desserts Near Me - Alameda, California

Million Spoons is a local Thai restaurant offering a flavorful menu of rice plates and noodle soups. My favorite item was the Khao Soi, a noodle soup made with egg noodles in a thick curry broth, topped with crispy egg noodles, herbs, and fried chicken. The broth was especially thick and creamy, lending a strong, salty flavor to the noodles and chicken. Next, the Tom Yum Crispy Pork Noodle Soup was made of thin egg noodles in a sour tomato broth, topped with bok choy, bean sprouts, and chunks of crispy pork belly, which had a good combination of lean and fatty parts. We tried a ginger rice plate with tender steamed Hainan chicken and more crispy pork belly, served with chicken broth and two dipping sauces. Finally, the Tilapia Mango Salad was a beautifully-presented whole scored and deep-fried tilapia, topped with a salad of chopped mango, onion, tomato, cucumber, and cilantro in a sour lime dressing. The tilapia was a bit boney and spiney, but the fried pieces were perfectly crispy and went nicely with the sweet and sour mango salad. Overall the food here was spot-on in flavor and presentation, and everything came at a fair value too! read more
