Grand Avenue Thai - Oakland

Loved our meals! Best Thai food we have had in years....we will be back!

WOW pumpkin curry is out of this world! Giant chunks of pumpkin and eggplant, with other veggies in this sweet creamy curry I found my new favorite dish! Super pleased with the large portions of my takeout order. I had the pumpkin curry and papaya salad to go both delicious! the curry puffs (appetizer) are also amazing here

After trying probably 7-8 different Thai places, I feel like I?ve found my game! These guys actually use real spices and taste! Not only all salt sugar and coconut milk over any dish (Osha! A few notes: Curry does not come with rice (nbd, but not clear at the delivery app buuut the pumpkin curry was fantastic and ginger salad was bright and crispy.

The host came to the restaurant quite friendly and let us sit immediately. We were sitting next to people who were sitting. We had to wait for our food for a while, as people came in and went out to get their orders, my husband and I still sat there waiting with our baby. We got the drinks we had ordered (but no water he had to ask for many times). the people sitting next to us seem to have received their food and water quickly while we were held just a few minutes waiting that turns into an hour. At first, we have nothing against it since the host was so friendly. The people who come to pick up their orders were served first. The host also had a friend who could eat there, brought us the wrong order and then removed him from our table and said: Oh this is my friend? His friend came after us. We had to ask for water from which the host brought, but then we said we were waiting again. We were moody, but after we got the wrong food and were not served after people who came after us were served, we decided to pay for our drinks and go. The service was almost good, but the host ruined him. I was looking forward to dinner, but now I'm sorry to go there in the future. I hope who turns out it will be better treated than I and my little family have been treated.

This is a great restaurant. I love the pumpkin plant Curry especially. I am vegan, so it is nice to know a new place where there are several vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. Perry and Eric are very funny and friendly and have a great staff. The restaurant is very clean and colorful, with vivid photos of beautiful lively Thailand. It is located above the road from the beautiful lake Merritt. The Mango sticky rice is excellent as its pumpkin orange Thai ice tea. Only blocks from the Grand Lake Theatre and the artisanal shops of Lakeshore make this a perfect place to take a date on a Friday night.
