Top Three Thai Spots in the East Bay

 1) The Noodle

The Noodle is my go-to place to get Thai food when I'm craving a no-frills, delicious eating experience in Berkeley when I'm with my close friends and family. It's a casual place to grab a quick, enjoyable bite that's been freshly prepared with all sorts of flavors that make it uniquely Thai cuisine. The service is forever fast and polite, and best of all, it's very affordable! I keep coming back!

2) Anchalee Thai Cuisine

Anchalee Thai Cuisine is a more upscale Thai option, also located in Berkeley. It's the one that I favor for entertaining a small party of guests in a more formal setting. The dining area is beautiful, and the food comes plated artistically. The food is reliably tasty, and I like to eat there.

3) Bua Thai Kitchen

Bua Thai Kitchen, located near the border between Berkeley and Albany, has a gorgeous interior with the largest eating area of the three, so I would consider it to be the best place for a large party. The food there is fantastic and the prices are reasonable. The service is also very friendly.

I had a wonderful collab with The Noodle the other day...the meal was hosted, but the opinions are my own

The Top Three East Bay Sushi Places

 

The Three Best East Bay Sushi Options!

#1)Kansai

This Oakland restaurant draws big crowds with its fresh fish, impressive menu, and included miso soup. Not only that, but they have a happy hour sale that makes eating there very affordable.

#2) Kura

Located in downtown Berkeley, this restaurant is a dining experience that involves watching a wide assortment of sushi dishes go around on a conveyor belt until you find one you want, or you can order something (sushi or not) off the menu and have it delivered on a separate conveyor belt. It's modern and fun, and the food tastes great. You can order a lot or a little at a time.  

#3) Kamado

This Berkeley establishment is more upscale than the other two and thus more expensive. However, is a great place for real sushi enthusiasts because they make top-quality sushi with incredibly fresh fish! They also serve a variety of other Japanese dishes.
