Reviews for Larb Thai Food & Tapas in El Cerrito, CA

This place is one of the most authentic Thai restaurants in the Bay Area. It is quite far from the city but it is worth a trip... (you can also go to Thai grocery shopping a few doors away as well). The boat noodle and anything northeastern food are amazing! Read more

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 awesterner who hasn't been to Thailand and are accustomed to Bay Area prices this place might be a 4.2-5 star restaurant based onservice and decor. Nonetheless if you are looking for authentic Thai/Lao I would advise to steer clear and head to Oakland'sVientiane cafe or champa garden. Read more

I have been wanting to try the food here for awhile and decided to meet my friend for lunch here today. I ordered the Larb prawn... salad and calamari for starter. My friend ordered the red curry beef. The food was excellent!! My salad came with 6 prawns andwas very refreshing. The flavors vibrant with just enough spice ( I ordered mild). The calamari was crunchy and soft, not overcooked or overly breaded! My friend's curry looked delicious and plentiful! I also ordered Thai ice tea and it was good and notoverly sweet! We will definitely come back here and next time will bring my family! Read more

Amazing food!! We came here for lunch on a Sunday and it was surprisingly quiet for how good the food is. Prices were reasonable... and portion sizes were great! The staff was very friendly as well. Will definitely come back. Read more

My favorite Thai restaurant! The Crispy Rice Ball Salad is seriously the best. Perfectly tangy, spicy, refreshing. I get it... medium spicy and it?s pretty legit hot, even for a spice lover like myself. The Pad See Ew noodles are super fresh. The soup forthe Thai Boat Noodle Soup is thick and full of umami flavor. Some other favorite dishes ? Pumpkin Curry with Tofu and GreenBeans with Pork. Read more

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 theBeef Noodle Soup, Signature Lemon Grass Chicken, Fried Calamari and Thai Tea. All dishes were delicious and had an authenticNorthern 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'llbe back for sure! Read more

Good food, very quick service (under ten minutes for three dishes on a Saturday night), average portion sizes. I got all my... dishes medium spicy and it was hotter than I'd expect. Next time I'll get mild. Read more
