Chao Thai Cuisine, Oakland CA

My first time here, I absolutely enjoyed it. We had pad thai with chicken, crab fried rice, angel wings and yum (with chicken, shrimp). I will definitely be going back

I got duck curry and crab fried rice. It was VERY flavorful. We ate at one of the tables outside, which had a peaceful atmosphere and a view of people walking near Lake Merritt. I also tried a Thai beer: forgot what it was called but I liked it and it went well with the meal. Looking forward to eating here again.

It’s been sometime since we ate here but I always think of the yummy fried fish in garlic sauce. It is sooo good - tender and crunchy and tasty.
Will definitely go back and try other dishes!

Heads up: if you have a green bean allergy, all curries contain green bean and peanuts. Even if the menu says otherwise.

Appetizers were perfect, and the tofu fresh spring roll especially good, but the two entrees my family tried had very little meat. Service was friendly, so will definitely try it again.

Had the peanut sauce, veggies, tofu dish. 1st, you can get the same dishes around the corner for the same price BUT w/rice included. It’s about $2-$3 extra here. There were 4 pieces of tofu and sauce was very watery, w shavings of peanuts on top. Was still hungry after the $14meal so went to the other Thai restaurant on Grand

Very well kept and welcoming spot. They offer generous meals and for economical rates. I loved the food a lot and the staff members were super welcoming and chatty. Highly recommended.

This Thai place is very good. The noodle dishes are spectacular. I have been struggling to find a Thai place of this quality. Had five different types of dishes and all we're quite delicious. Highly suggest this amazing hole in the wall.

I regularly come grabbing some food here. I liked the speedy customer service and well cooked dishes. Kudos.

I really love their dishes. I always get good customer service here. The place is well kept and the staff members are always friendly. Highly recommended.

The place was cozy. I found the food bland and not spicy like I would expect, for Thai food. It was tasty. Our service was very slow.

We actually stopped on the way out of San Francisco to get fast food and use a restroom. The KFC would not allow us to use the restroom. We asked a local and she said the staff at the Thai restaurant were very nice and we should try them. The service was faster than fast food and the flavor was amazing. Fresh produce with the perfect seasoning. We will definatly be back! Oh, and very important, the place was immaculately clean - even the bathroom!

Server was nice and food delicious. I had the Chicken Panang Curry and Thai spring roll lunch combo with Fresh spring rolls for an appetizer.and a Thai tea!

I will definitely return to try other menu items.

Visiting from San Diego. Ordered shrimp Panang Curry, delish! The level of spices was perfect for my taste. Place is small, had difficulty finding it, it was hiding. Their sign is not as attracted and visible. Thank goodness our GPS helped us ;D.we had a great server and shes very sweet, friendly and fast. Food was wonderful. Most of all, we were pleased that we were able to sit outside with my bff furr baby. Definitely recommend this place!

My number 1 go to thai restaurant ever since my parents used to take me as a small child! My favorite is the red curry and pad kee mao!

Yummy yummy for my tummy. Soup makes me come back. My vegan husband has a nice selection to choose from. The night of our last visit there was only one waitress for the entire place and she maintained such a wonderful attitude. It was impressive.

I visited this Thai restaurant with about 6 other friends and had a fantastic time. Servings were large and inexpensive (in the 9 to 13 dollar range) and service was speedy. We shared dishes and everything I tried was really tasty. If you find yourself in the neighborhood check this place out you are sure to have a good time.

Been here a few times. This time after star wars at the grand lake. Place was very busy with guests, take out orders, and managing the queue waiting for seats. The 2 women handling the front were super helpful, got our drinks and appetizers out quickly, and the mains right after. Amazing considering all that was going on. Food is family style so plenty on each plate. Highly recommend this place. Good food and friendly staff.

Top notch Thai food in the Grand Lake neighborhood! Their use of spice is so good, and the prices are sweet! Great for dine-in or take out.

A favorite Thai food spot for my family. Beautiful location, indoor and outdoor seating. Kind service and the food is awesome. I enjoy their pinnacle fried rice, any curry they have, phenomenal vegetarian options. Good first date spot because it is cozy.
