Little Plearn Thai Kitchen Menu – Berkeley, CA

Type : Thai restaurant

Location : Berkeley, CA

History
Established in 1982

Plearn has been a name in Berkeley for over 30 years! She opened an authentic Thai restaurant on University Ave. in 1982. After retirement, she has left her mark on many customers and mentored many in those years. Since 2000. Little Plearn Thai Kitchen has continued her recipes and influences. Her favorite curries and taste have not changed. We still continue to make curry from scratch, soups are made to order, sauce are from bottle. This takes time but we wouldn’t have it any other way. That also means spice levels are out of our control. The fresh Thai chili produce we get every other day will determine the spice level. We hope you enjoy our Thai American family recipes!

Quaint Thai restaurant with a traditional vibe offering familiar curries & other classic dishes. Based on 276 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.4 stars. Price $

The lunch combo is a great affordable lunch for the area. It’s a ton of food so you’ll definitely have leftovers. Staff are warm and friendly. The fish cakes were absolutely delicious.

Very nice spot! The food was incredibly delicious, and the lunch special basically let me get rice, an egg roll, and a nice salad for what basically amounted to an extra dollar. I got the eggplant stir fry with chicken, and it was definitely worth going back for. It also seems like a lot of the food could be vegetarian (if you don’t mind fish sauce), because it’s added on to a base dish that doesn’t necessarily have meat in it. The service was also excellent, and the decor had a very fun vibe that felt unique and full of character. The Thai Tea was also very good, but I’ve also never met a Thai Tea I didn’t love.

This cute little spot has been providing authentic Thai food for the community over 30 years. My favorite dish from them was definitely the papaya salad and the duck.

I thoroughly enjoyed every meal I have had at this establishment. There is always a delay in service, but once the ball is rolling, all is good. The menu has a good selection, reasonably priced. Caution you can quickly order more food than the table has room for.

Visited and I was impressed with the menu and the interior design. Food was higher quality and prices were good compared to other stores. The staff are friendly but are often too busy and will not catch requests for service. Nonetheless, Would definitely recommend!

This is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in town. Visited there for more than ten times, and enjoyed everything I ordered so far. The Pumpkin Curry or Pad Kee Mao with a Thai Lemonade are my go-to. Sometimes the wait could be long, but totally worth the wait.
