My mom and I stopped by on a weekday for lunch. There was no wait and we mostly saw people coming to grab their to-go meals. However the place is actually really big (you wouldn't really suspect it from the outside and narrow door entrance). It was actually really cool to see that they have a nice balcony seating area in the back, it seems like a lovely place to eat in the summer. The food was great! We loved it all: pumpkin curry (not spicy), rot (the curry sauce was the best), avocado spring roll (fresh and both sauces went well with them; one is peanut and one is hoisin), and Thai tea/thai coffee. The only thing is the Thai tea and coffee were both sweeter than we prefer, but tasted much better once the ice melted. I would definitely come again!

Awesome Thai!! Don't let the entrance scare you off.everyone is super nice, everything ordered was perfect. I especially loved the outside seating. For those of you who've been to Thailand, you'll appreciate the space

This is now our favorite restaurant whenever we get Take Out while visiting my In-Laws. Our group consists of 1 Vegan, 2 strict Vegetarians, & 2 who like Chicken or fish. There is plenty of variety so we're all satisfied. This was the 2nd year that we got our Take Out for Christmas Dinner. Yes, they're open on Christmas Day! We also picked up an order for Mother's Day. When my birthday comes around, this will be my choice for sure. The Avocado Rolls are fabulous, they're like mini avocado salads in a roll! Mango Salad was awesome, Papaya Salad was good-it's been a year so I don't recall specifically but I had no complaints. We're not especially fond of fried appetizers, so I can't say much about them. However the Basil Fried Rice was delicious, & so was the Pad Thai. We were worried they might be too oily, but they were fine since we don't eat out that often. We also ordered 3 Curries, the Red does not come Mild, so keep that in mind. We ordered two curries with Tofu and Vegetables, and one with Chicken. Yumm. My only comment would be that I would like to have some more broth and a bit less Bamboo Shoot. But every dish was great, we were all satisfied and very happy. The Vegetables were so fresh, the Tofu had good texture & was cooked perfectly, so I was impressed. The chicken was great, none of that fatty stuff you get with Chinese food. The kitchen and restaurant were clean and it was evident that they put care into their cooking. Also, they are very nice people! The restaurant is small, and I haven't eaten inside, but they have several tables if you want to have your food served nice and hot. They did a good job of labeling the food, and they didn't forget or switch an item for something else. And their prices are reasonable for the East Bay. You can order online and pre-pay, which is nice, especially if you want to plan for an important celebration, like a Holiday or Birthday or Anniversary. I'm quite picky and I found this Thai restaurant to be stellar. Please be polite and kind to them, and don't forget to tip! We all need to support restaurants like this one to keep them in business. I know I would be very sad if they ever had to close, now that we found them. Thank you, Thai Taste Kitchen, for doing such a wonderful job. I have a lot of esteem for this well-run business. And no, I don't know them personally and was not given any compensation for this Review, this is my honest opinion (as well as that of my family). If you want fresh, healthy Thai Food, this is a fantastic choice on Piedmont Ave. This may have been my first 5-Star Review, certainly in the past 10 years.

Delicious. Great price. Nice service! Not busy for a Friday night!! It's also nice n quiet. Definitely nice for any occasion.

We order takeout from here often, our usual order is all vegetarian - pineapple fried rice, Thai samosa appetizers, curries with Tofu. The service is always fast, food is consistently delicious, and it's fairly easy to park close by despite being a busy street. We will look forward to our next takeout from them, hope you all enjoy this joint too!

Found a new Thai spot in Oakland, Yes!!! Food is different than any Thai food I have every eaten. They incorporate ingredients that's not the traditional way like crispy garlic in the garlic chicken dish I ordered. My friend got Thai basil said it was delious diffrent flavors then other places. It was all cooked yo protection with love, and came out in a timely manner. The best Samosas you've ever tasted have some curry and I can't tell you the rest just try it. Melts in your mouth and 2 is just enough but could eat the whole thing. Service was efficient laid back and friendly. Not rushed at all! Located at the bottom of housing?? It's like a underground garage with a restaurant and patio. It's cute and homely, there's plenty of setting both inside and patio area the walls are old random doors, so cool! I will be back sooner than later.

What a beautiful spot. Ample indoor and outdoor seating. Service is fast and friendly and bathrooms are clean and neat. We enjoyed sharing crispy roti which was delicious with the curry, pumpkin curry rice and the shrimp chicken pad thai! Would love to be back and try more from their menu.

We ordered takeout to try the Thai samosa, pineapple fried rice with tofu and vegetables, papaya salad, and Kao soy. I didn't try the papaya salad since it had peanuts in it. Thai samosa: It reminds me of egg rolls but lighter and actually quite sweet, as well as savory. The sauce is sweet and sour as well. If you have a sweet tooth, I'd recommend it. It is already vegetarian by default. Pineapple fried rice with tofu and vegetables (it normally comes with chicken and shrimp): It's quite savory and I liked the huge pineapple chunks and cashews. The tofu was nicely fried and firm. The broccoli, carrots, and cucumber were alright. Overall, it was very savory Kao soy: The sauce base reminds me of having a yellow curry or other mild Thai-style curries. The crispy egg noodles had a nice texture. I didn't eat much of this overall due to large amount of chicken. Overall, I thought the food was really yummy and would recommend; I appreciate that they have vegetarian modifications available for some dishes.

Thai Taste is my fave thai spot in the Oakland area, for their romantic back patio (dog-friendly) and delicious flavorful foods and large portions. Came by for a weeknight treat-ourself night with my friend, and we were happy to enjoy Piedmont on the weekday without the hustle and bustle of the weekend. There were plenty of spots on the street for parking, and we easily walked in without having to wait to be seated. Our servers were SO kind and attentive, shout out to the wonderful ladies holding it down and the beautiful chefs making our delicious foods in the open kitchen concept you can see right when you walk in from the front door. We started with their yellow curry and roti appetizer which was honestly our most favorite dish. I am picky with my roti and Thai Taste's is SO flaky, perfect with their initial crunch, but buttery soft goodness. Holy moly, that yellow curry I could just drizzle all over my body, yum. Their pad thai looked so tasty, my friend loved it. And I enjoyed my pad kee mao. I'm a sucker for rice noods and Thai Taste really had us raving about the flavors. I walked out so stuffed and my belly so warm and happy, it felt like a spiritual experience. Would highly recommend treating yourself to some honest and genuine Thai food by some friendly and lovely people.
