Feedback
**Discovering Gecko Gecko: A Mixed Taste of Thai Cuisine** Nestled close to the Berkeley Repertory Theatre, Gecko Gecko attracts diners with its vibrant atmosphere and diverse Thai menu, though experiences vary. While some patrons praise the flavorful dishes like pad Thai and sweet potato curry, others express disappointment in bland flavors and inconsistent execution, particularly regarding popular items. Long wait times during peak hours can also detract from the experience, despite friendly staff and inviting service. With a range of vegetarian options and quality ingredients, the restaurant remains a solid choice for pre-show meals, but expectations should be tempered for a truly authentic Thai experience.
We dine here before attending shows at Frying and Salt Water. It's easy to book a table online through OpenTable. I appreciate the diverse menu and enjoy trying new dishes regularly. They also have a great selection of vegetarian options.
Ordered the yellow curry with chicken in the lunch special. This could be a fluke, but I was not impressed. The vegetables tasted like they were cooked in water and added to the curry and the chicken is over cooked and had the strong chicken stink. I expect Thai restaurants to be able to do chicken tender, so am rather disappointed. The spring roll is also nothing special. Thai iced tea is good. And free wifi and friendly staff!
The food is fresh, visually appealing, and delicious. In fact, my girlfriend and I agree that they serve the best pad Thai we've ever had! It strikes a perfect balance—savory and delectable without being overly sweet. The spicy basil fried rice also had just the right amount of heat. Most specials are reasonably priced, averaging around $13.95, and the quality of the food exceeds that of many higher-priced restaurants. Overall, our experience at Gecko Gecko was fantastic, and I highly recommend this gem in the city center to anyone looking to enjoy great Thai cuisine.
The service during lunch was quite slow, with a 40-minute wait before we were served. However, the food was pretty good.
Between the traditional green papaya salad (which is spicy; believe their scorecard. and the grilled salmon salad (salmon fillet was tasty and moist , I can't argue with the food. But the acoustics made my dining partner so uncomfortable, we had to leave before I had finished my salad. I did take it home and enjoyed it just as much there. IF noise doesn't bother you, then give it a whirl!
