    My friend favorite place to eat Thai food. My order was chicken satay and drunken noodle. Chicken satay was tender not dry, added peanut sauce for extra yum. Drunken noodle was spicy but little salty. I added the vinegar to help. The fat noodle was good and not smoochy. My friends enjoyed their ordered. Service was good. Street parking.

    A gem for food lovers! Such an amazing spot, with great food, friendly attentive staff, and warm / cozy ambiance. Truly a fantastic restaurant. Had dinner with friends (party of 6) and enjoyed it family style sharing all the plates. We loved the food and the dishes were delicious! Apps: Corn Fritters, Roti with Green Curry, Summer Rolls, Veggie Curry Puffs, Issan Sausage Mains: Pad Thai, Crab Curry, Sweet sole, Curry a Trios, Chicken Gar Pow Portions for mains are huge and can definitely be shared. Pad Thai had perfect balance of flavors with plump shrimp and a nice crunch from the beansprouts and peanuts. If you are unsure of what curry to get I would order the Trios because you get to try 3 different ones: Yellow, Green, and Red. Great ratio of meat to vegetables for the Gar Pow and the flavor was spot on. Sweet sole was absolutely delicious with a nice chuck of fish. It's fried but not greasy and was light, airy, and fresh. Crab Curry is spicy but worth the burn. You can see the chunks of crab and can 100% taste it too! Mixing it with the noodles, egg, and different veggie accompaniments, elevates it to a different and delightful level. If you are a crab lover I would highly recommend this dish!

    Decided to go to Summer Summer Thai Eatery for lunch with two of my friends (three guys total). We got seated immediately, as the restaurant was empty around 11:45 a.m. We ordered at 11:50: * Sweet Sol with Brown Rice Lunch Special * Kao Soi Lunch Special * Pad Kee Mao (Medium Spicy) * Spicy Rib Eye Salad * Thai Iced Tea * Passion Fruit Tea (free refills!) Starting with the drinks, the passion fruit tea was a bit bitter at first. We asked for sugar, and they gave us some simple syrup to sweeten it, which made it quite good. I enjoyed the Thai tea, it had the perfect level of sweetness. Also, the paper straw (which I normally hate) held up the whole meal which I was pleasantly surprised by. The rib eye salad came out first at 12:05. The meat was tender and flavorful, though my Thai friend expected it to be a bit more sour. I thought it was good though... I don't like super sour food, and this tasted fine to me. The Kao Soi and Pad Kee Mao came out at 12:08, and the Sol followed a minute later. I would say the Kao Soi and Pad Kee Mao were average, not great, but not bad either. Pretty much what you'd expect from a standard Thai restaurant. However, the fried Sol really stood out. It's like a Japanese chicken katsu, but with fish inside. The outside was crunchy and flaky, while the inside was tender. The spicy-sweet chili sauce on top paired perfectly with the brown rice it was served with. If I were to come back alone, I'd order this dish again and be very happy. Overall, I liked this place and would return if I were in the area. The vibes were nice, the restaurant was spacious and clean, and the atmosphere was quiet enough to enjoy our meal in peace. It's a solid spot for a relaxed lunch with friends and a few standout dishes worth coming back for.

    Great place for a casual thai lunch or dinner. We got the Pad Thai, Curry a Trois, and Summer Roll. It was really tasty and overall came out to around $65 after tip. Great service as well. Will be back!

    This place is amazing! Definitely try their special curries. Last time we had their spicy duck curry and it was so delicious. The place is always clean and the service is excellent! The owners are very sweet and attentive to customers all the time. This is a great location for a date or a small party

    I used to live in Emeryville and we would go here weekly. I moved away, so I don't get to go there as often. This is my first time back in a year. Went back to Emeryville specifically for Summer Summer. When I went in, there were some minor changes but all for the better. The staff is still just as amazing as I remember. So friendly and so inviting. The service was fast. The food was incredible. I wish I could give them more than five stars. I look forward to my next visit .

    Great Thai and was happy with my pad see ew. As usual I expect to eat it all and then I get full because the serving size deceives me. Spice level was great after talking to our server about spicy level he could do. They don't show spice levels on the menu but they will assist! I appreciated the server providing his own judgment. :) Thai tea and service was great too. Cute spot and seems like a nice neighborhood restaurant. May see people on dates or just a family enjoying a meal. Clean too. Watch the street parking. Some is paid and some is free depending on the time of day.

    We were driving through on our way home from the San Francisco airport and decided to stop and grab a bite while waiting out traffic. We had never been to Summer Summertime Eatery before, but I'm so glad we gave it a try! My husband ordered the champagne margarita and loved it. He's not easily impressed, so that says a lot. We ordered a few classic dishes to share--Tuka soup, the sautéed chicken bar, and chicken thigh fried rice. The sautéed chicken was hands down the most tender and juicy chicken I've ever had. My husband really enjoyed the soup (again--he's picky), and the fried rice came out piping hot, super fresh, and packed with flavor. Highly recommend this spot. It's officially going on our saved list for next time we're in town!

    Tofu Thai Fried Rice Dinner with spinach and broccoli added
    Frances B.

    By the time my train from Chicago got into emeryville, I was wiped. So I found the closest Thai place and ordered door dash. It was incredibly quick , arriving within 15 mins of ordering. I had the fried rice and was surprised that not only could I add tofu, but for $2 per topping, I could get veggies, which are so hard to get when traveling. So I added cooked spinach and broccoli. The flavor was excellent - and the added veggies were nicely cooked and blended well with the meal. After eating about half it, however, it seemed a little greasy and was hard to finish. So I recommend but just with a slight warning that it was greasier than I wanted.

    Service 10/10 , nice vibe. I like the restaurant. The food is really good , yellow curry and papaya salad were my favorite items. They have good deals for bottle of wines that you can enjoy with dinner. I really recommend it

We all split all the specialty cocktails and I got the Khao Pad Kang Kiew (rice with eggplant and chicken topped with a fried egg). Dishes are $20-23 ish each. We were seated at the 6 person table in the back of the restaurant near the bathroom. My favorite drinks were their take on a hard thai iced tea, the lavender mojito, a take on an espresso martini. There was also this spicy drink that had thai chilis in it that is VERY spicy lol. Pros: - the rice dish was DELICIOUS and also huge haha. Came with cucumbers to cut the peppery flavor if needed. - All the cocktails were pretty different and it was fun to try all of them. They were all beautiful to look at and tasty (lots of coconut and Thai inspiration). - Service was pretty good - Has "typical" thai dishes like pad thai and pad see ew, and also more rare ones that are hard to find - Close to many bars and other establishments, so perfect if you want to eat here as a first, second, or third location of your outing haha Cons: - The air flow in the back wasn't amazing so I did feel like it got stuffy/hot - Parking can be tough in this area so I recommend BARTing Another reason to love Oakland!

We had to re-place our orders because they were never sent to the kitchen and lost, we had to flag down servers otherwise we were sitting there confused for 20+ minutes as they hustled and bustled around us, it was just bizarre. And it was a bit embarrassing as I'd lauded this place to my guest and we proceeded to get snubbed by every server during dinner time. Alas, the pad kemao was still delicious but I don't know if I'd suffer that kind of service again for a meal. And no, nothing was comped or discounted. Ambiance-wise, the restaurant is cute and near a busy area of downtown Oakland so it's easy to get to by BART or by car. I might give them another chance if I'm ever in the area already, but I won't be going out of my way to visit again.

Servers are attentive for how busy they are, great alcohol options. Cons - very loud, you cannot hear each other at your own table, food comes out dish by dish & can take a span of almost 30 mins for all food to come out. Got my sticky rice like 10 mins after my curry. It's hot in there & very busy so it's def hard to get the server's attn. Sitting by the door also sucks bc they're so busy so the door is always opening & there's not much space for folks to wait so they're kinda standing by you waiting lol. Not a romantic spot per se but can be if you can block out all the noise and ppl
