Kao Soi
The dish serves as a symbolism of overlapping cultures between Burma, Laos and Thailand, formerly known as Siam. Khao soi was prominently inspired by the depth of the flavor of Thai lime soups. From the preparation to the finish, the curry sauce took over 12 hours to make. Galangal, kefir lime, and lemongrass leave were blended in a mortar to make curry paste. The homemade curry paste was simmered in chopped shallots, coconut milk, and coconut water making the consistency of curry sauce lighter than a regular curry. This curry noodle soup is traditionally served with a juicy chicken steamed homemade egg noodle, and then it is topped with pickled cabbage, fresh shallots, crispy noodle. Squeeze a wedge of lime and stir well together before you enjoy it. No substitution please, thank you!
$13.75

This place has the best Thai food I’ve had in Berkeley and has some of the best food overall in the area, despite the dated and dim interior, and the overall lack of patrons. The washroom is very clean but I did see a pigeon in the front and several pigeons in the back because the back door was open. I’ve had the Thai traditional noodle soup and moo kratha, and they were both amazing! The soup is flavourful with some mouthfeel, like the opposite of a consommé.

Thai fried rice with chicken was great, cherry tomatoes mixed in really enhanced the flavor! I went in at 9:50 pm right before closing and service was still fast and the lady was very nice.

One of my favorite hole in the wall Thai restaurant in Berkeley. It is not fancy, it is not expensive and the decorations hasn’t changed for over 10+ years. However, what it does have is one of my favorite noodle soup ever! The hot and sour noodle soup. Aside from it, everything else I ever had were always delicious as well. Thai restaurants may come and go, but lucky house Thai will always be my favorite hole in the wall Thai restaurant!

First off– 3 stars means “average” to me. I ordered Pad Thai, Thai tea, and sweet sticky rice with coconut milk. All tasty! EXCEPT the pad Thai is just noodles, sauce, peanuts, and meat. Would be nice with some veggies or at least green onion. Flavor is tasty but not exceptional.

You can’t beat the prices here. It’s perfect for a quick and casual meal. Every entree I’ve tried has been excellent

I have been coming here for years. Throughout various chapters of my life, this place has provided consistently excellent food. I always get a spicy pad thai tofu with no bean sprouts, and they don’t play games with the spice (which is exactly how I like it).

The food was pretty good so I cannot complain flavor wise, just be sure to ask if you have an allergy such as egg because not all menu items have full ingredients listed and you may be getting something you can’t eat.

I had just a short time and was by myself. I got Tom Ka Kai which was very good and generously portioned, and satay, which was passable. The peanut sauce was good, but the chicken wasn’t grilled well at all. The individual pieces were well selected though. Each item was just under $10, and with tax and tip was a little more than I was expecting to pay after reading how cheap the place was. Overall a good experience, but I’ll keep looking for that really special place.
