“ Definitely the place to visit when you are very hungry because their portion sizes are big. Really love the decor at the restaurant because it makes one want to dinein peacefully. Their teas are amazing and I was blown away by the blends they offered. It was definitely my first time, having tea thats blue in color. The food was wellmade, with good seasoning. I had ordered the sauteed mix vegetables with fried tofu and I loved how wellprepared the vegetables were. Definitely a place that I will visit next time Im in Berkeley ”

“ Really enjoyed the red curry, great flavor and spicy without being too hot. The lamb special was great too! Decent amount of street parking in the area, we were seating quickly and our food came out very fast. ”
“ This isnt your typical takeout restaurant. Bua Luang is a quaint little Thai Restaurant on the Albany side of Solano Ave. We always enjoy coming here to have some pad thai and other dishes. Their flavors are very rich and not overly salty. Mango sticky rice dessert was beautiful plated and yummy! Parking is not a breeze but its about the same with other businesses on Solano ave. ”
