I've dined at both the SF and Oakland locations before. Oakland started off really strong for me…read morebut over time the food felt a little inconsistent, and the SF location personally just did not hit for me. But this Berkeley location? Okayyyy now let's get into it. Parking here is definitely challenging, so give yourself extra time. We came on Mother's Day with reservations at 2 PM, right before they closed for their dinner reset at 3, and we were still seated pretty quickly which I appreciated, especially with how busy it was. We sat outside on the patio and honestly it was such a nice vibe. They do have outdoor heaters if needed, but the weather was perfect that day. We did everything à la carte for a party of 7. Appetizers: Vegan Spring Rolls: 5/5 Super crispy and fresh. The chili peanut sauce was so good we kept going back for more. Crispy Pork Belly: 1/5 Way too overcooked for our liking. It came out super dry and chewy, almost like a thick pork jerky. Definitely not something we would order again. Main dishes: Panang Neua: 5/5 OMG. This was the dish I came for and it absolutely delivered. The meat literally falls off the bone and melts in your mouth. The sauce leans salty, so pairing it with the blue rice balances everything out perfectly. So rich and flavorful. Crab Fried Rice: 5/5 The large chunks of crab really made this dish stand out. It was flavorful, not dry, and not overly mushy either. Solid all around. Hat Yai Fried Chicken: 2/5 Too thin and too dry for us. I would not reorder this dish, but the roti it came with was actually really good dipped into the sauce. Beef Larb: 5/5 Wagyu beef? Say less. This dish was perfectly seasoned and packed with flavor. Straight chef's kiss. Yellow Curry: 4/5 Honestly you really can't go wrong with yellow curry here. Comforting, flavorful, and paired well with everything else we ordered. And of course we ended with the mango sticky rice to share because you simply have to. It was the mango on top to finish the meal. Overall, this Berkeley location easily gave us the best experience out of the three. Great service, beautiful patio seating, and several dishes that were genuinely memorable. We'll definitely be back for that Panang Neua alone.

Why is finding good Thai in the East Bay so hard?…read more We ordered pretty classic stuff--pad Thai that somehow leaned way too sweet, and a green chicken curry that was so watered down it felt more like a soup than an actual curry. My husband also ended up getting food poisoning, which really sealed the deal on this one. We're pretty sure it was the mai tai served in a novelty cat cup... and now I have questions about how often that thing is actually getting properly cleaned. Let's just say I'm not thinking about it too hard. Anyway. Another Thai spot crossed off the list. The search continues.

Service was so quick and they're extremely nice. Came here on a Friday afternoon for a quick bite…read morebefore heading over to a concert at the Greek Theater. (Side note: not exactly a walkable preferred distance). They also had a happy hour menu that was still going and we definitely took advantage of the decent pricing. 1. Happy hour wings: these were not that exciting unfortunately. I really wanted to like them but it ended up being the last thing I ate. Sauce was not all that. It was a sweet and sour chili sauce cooked down with basil for flavor. It just wasn't for me. 2. Bowl of Tom Kha: this was my favorite of all things we tried and a perfect portion for one person. However we did share this bowl knowing we over ordered. Chicken was soft, mushroom the perfect texture. The soup was delicious. 3. Happy Hour: chicken satay. Chicken was slightly dry but it didn't ruin it for me. Also easy to eat off the stick. Peanut sauce was not over powering and a good balance of flavor. The pickled veggies that come on the side had the perfect crunch. 4. Moo Dang Dry Noodle: the meat was soft and very flavorful. I would recommend fully mixing everything before digging in. Definitely pair it with the pickled jalapeños they have to add the spice and crunch to it. Personally, didn't like this dish much either. I think it was the noodles for me, it was tasting a bit bland. But once I added the jalapenos, it was much better.

Best lunch deal in Berkeley, complete lunch with salad, entrée, rice , & egg-roll, last time I went…read moreit was $16.00! Charming interior design, and wonderful staff. Cold beers are available with a nice glass. I frequent this spot and love the yellow curry vegetarian style or the ginger vegetables with cashews. Served with jasmine rice, or a small up charge for brown rice. The background music is ambient, elevator jazz music, which at times is a bit annoying. But much better than classic rock blaring at you. A must if you end up in Berkeley for lunch, dinner, takeout or delivery! And I know you'll agree and thank me......

Started off with the fresh rolls and corn cakes. The fresh rolls lived up to their name of being…read morefresh and they were a good size with a perfect crunch. 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.

No complaints about the service; they were quick and very friendly…read more Unfortunately, I was not the biggest fan of the food. 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.

I asked them to turn it down. The music was still too loud. The service was stiff...not friendly. The sticky rice was like a hard rock, inedible. The food was unevenly spiced, which made it hard to share. Yelp reviews have become difficult to trust. I would strongly advise that if the restaurant is empty, LEAVE. Order a few dishes. The cost will still be high, but you can be gracious and leave. If they offered a return, I would decline.

Five stars for the Pandan Coconut Cake and other Thai desserts offered from the usual mango sticky rice. I picked 3 to share...no occasion but to try these lovely cakes. Light chiffon cake, pandan cream and coconut whipped cream. Cakes may look small ($13) but enough to feed 2-3 people to get a good sampling. Next time will have to try their menu of Thai/Bangkok street food along with their orange cake to go! Service very welcoming, friendly and appreciative of your business. Highly recommend this spot to dine and pick up a unique cake, coconut tapioca, desserts with taro, jelly, sesame, luk choop (mung bean) - Portuguese influenced marzipans and other traditional Thai sweets Plenty of street parking on San Pablo.

Absolutely incredible. I had this place bookmarked for a while, but rarely get up to Berkeley…read more So... I thought I might just order a bit more than necessary in case I didn't have the opportunity to come back for a while. I seriously cannot believe how consistently fantastic all of the dishes were, from the moo tod to the chicken skewers to the orange cake. Pad Thai is great, but I'd venture to try dishes that you don't see that often on other Thai menus. Pandan tea is also extremely refreshing. It's a small operation, so do your part by ordering at the kiosk. However, if you have any questions, the extremely friendly and helpful staff are happy to help. Enjoy your food in the extremely cute interior if you prefer to dine in, but I had to take everything to go to beat the afternoon traffic. Spoiler: the moo tod did not make it home - I didn't realize it would make for such a delicious car snack and should've gotten two orders.

My family ordered garlic noodles, laksa soup rice noodles, pad see ew, and a recommendation with noodles and Thai plus Malay sauces.

We enjoyed it very much!

I genuinely dream about this place. My go to meal is the hokkien noodles with the Thai flavor and chicken. It's also a very good bang for your buck. If I get this meal, I'm eating for the rest of the day. The service is always super quick! Sometimes, there might be a line, but they do a very good job at getting the food out quickly. It is a smaller restaurant ao seating can be limited ơn busier days, but that's bc it's so good, everyone's trying to go. I don't blame them.

My best friend and I grabbed dinner together at Sistory! Our initial plans didn't go through due to…read morethe holidays, but we're happy to have checked off a new spot. I've always wanted to dine at Sistory for brunch, but coming in the evening, it wasn't too busy. There was a steady flow of customers and take-out orders. The restaurant is warm, cozy, and quaint. 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! They're located off San Pablo Ave. with street parking out front.

After ordering the food came out really quickly and we were able to dig in right away after some pictures. Both dishes were huge and we definitely had left overs to bring home. The kao soi was very flavorful as it was sour, spicy, and very creamy due to the coconut. The egg noodles really soaked up the sauce and made each bite taste so good. 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. Overall a really nice place to share food with your friends and family.
