Lao-Thai Kitchen in Albany

I enjoyed my dining experience quite a bit. Came on Saturday for lunch. I think it’s the only day they are open for lunch.service is amazing. So friendly and informative. It seems like she really likes her job and the customers.Thai iced coffee was better than the Thai iced tea.Started off with a’ Special’ appetizer of salmon belly salad. I’m no salad fan but this was good. I like the dressing; forget the salmon belly.Then the wings appetizer… best dish of all of them. Crispy, sweet and just the right tang and spice.Pad see ew is my next favorite. Think stir fried noodles with veggies and beef.Yellow curry with chicken is the good old standby. You can’t go wrong.The only dish I did not like was the eggplant and tofu. The eggplant was overbooked which made it fall apart, yet the outer sun was really tough.But I’ll be back again to try other new dishes.

I love your SOMTAM !🥭All dish are delicious and heartfelt.. and hosts are kind and very speedy. They look proud of their foods and I think it deserves. I will be back and enjoy their other dish.

First time dining here, the food is amazing with delicious and authentic flavors. The service is also spectacular, staff is friendly and welcoming. Would recommend to anyone looking for delectable Thai food in the east bay!Highly recommend the Pad See-Ew, and Green Curry they were both really good. The Papaya salad Thai style was also amazing. A bit spicy but in a good way. A really wonderful mix of cool and heat.Fun Fact: Tables come equipped with little call buttons, something I have not seen at a restaurant before, very neat little technology integration at a restaurant.

Ive been coming here consistently for about a year now! Its a cute little restaurant with wonderful and fun staff! I wished I found this place sooner! I come here all the time now with friends, their food is simply amazing and can tell they put a lot of love and work into it! By far my favorite Lao-Thai restaurants in the East Bay!

This was my first visit and I will definitely be back. I had a taste for calamari. I found it on a Google search “Calamari near me”. First I was impressed by how friendly Bau was. The decor was very pleasant and it was clean. Bau was very nice explaining the difference between the Thai and the Lao style Papaya salads, and the spice level. My food was delivered in timely manner and it was DELICIOUS. I read the menu while eating so I could see what to try on my next visit. When I arrived I was the only dine in patron. There were several pick ups and everyone I saw appeared to be regulars. By the time I left the place was half full. I was very happy with my meal the atmosphere and the service. Next time I will try the Pad Thai and the fried bananas for dessert.

Best Thai food Ive had. Great service and cool, comfy decor inside.

A friend of mine and I came to this restaurant to have a really enjoyable meal and the wait person immediately understood to pace each of the dishes so that we could really enjoy each one before getting the next. As a result, the experience was great. Yes some dishes were better than the others but that didnt matter because the overall experience was just so good. I would love to have that experience again.

The food is delicious and not overpriced. The woman who runs it is very friendly, it really feels like a family restaurant. Tonight I ordered to go for the first time and asked if they could put the food into my own containers (I wanted to skip the single use boxes to avoid waste) and they said yes. Its definitely one of my favorite restaurants on Solano avenue!

Delicious Lao-Thai-inspired comfort food in a warm, family-friendly setting. My family and I enjoyed the yellow curry with chicken, tofu pad see ew, the fish fillet special, and roti with ice cream.

OMG. This place is amazing! The food is some of the best Thai/Lao food Ive ever had in a restaurant. The service is awesome, even though there was only one waitress and the restaurant was full we were well taken care of. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. If you like Thai food this place is a MUST.
