Inside the restaurant it’s cleaned and host is really friendly and attentive. Chicken larb salad tastes tangy and refreshing. Beef stew noodle not recommended since the beef is hard to chew and only few pcs vegetables and soup base is dense and spicy. They have beer from Thailand and Lao which you can’t find it from many of the places.

It’s more than some traditional Thai place, I like them to serve BBQ food, skewers of chicken, beef, and even sticky rice. It’s good.

I recently dined at Larb Thai Food & Tapas in Albany and had their Green Curry. The dish was customizable with a choice of meat and came with broccoli, eggplant, green beans, and basil, served alongside fried egg and Jasmine rice. The portion size was good, and the meal left me feeling comfortably satisfied. The flavors of the curry were well-balanced, and the attentive service and pleasant ambiance added to the overall experience.

Fantastic and flavorful thai food, loved every bite of it. To start with, we tried their hot Thai tea, it was really good, they refill it for free. Then, we ordered vegetarian Khao soi with fried tofu, it turned out to be the best Thai dish I’ve ever tried, the flavors were simply amazing. We also tried their vegetarian pad Thai and drunken noodles and loved both dishes. The food is amazing here and the staff is extremely kind, service is great. We will surely be coming back here.

Small but amazing place for authentic Thai food! Service was excellent, fast and efficient. We were able to be seated right away, order placed within 7min, water, drinks and plates were out right away and food was out within 10min! We ordered the Beef Noodle Soup, Signature Lemon Grass Chicken, Fried Calamari and Thai Tea. All dishes were delicious and had an authentic Northern Thai flavor. The Thai Tea was some of the best tasting I’ve had in a long time. I highly recommend this place and we’ll be back for sure!

Very delish food and friendly fast service! Try the mushroom larb and the pumpkin curry! Their spice levels pack some heat, so be sure to plan accordingly. The server fortunately informed us before we ordered.

Not very authentic and very small portion size. Service is great and food is fresh but flavors are more for the Western palate despite me asking to make the food very authentically Isan or Lao. Lao style papaya salad had little to no flavor. For a westerner who hasn’t been to Thailand and are accustomed to Bay Area prices this place might be a 4.2-5 star restaurant based on service and decor. Nonetheless if you are looking for authentic Thai/Lao I would advise to steer clear and head to Oakland’s Vientiane cafe or champa garden.
