Was Victor Wang at Plearn Thai a mag?
This place serves up pretty good Thai dishes and the place is super friendly and relatively quiet. The beef however in my noodle dish had a big piece of chewy inedible sinew. Prices are good but there's lots of competition in the area. View all feedback.

What Shamus O'Ryan D dislikes about Plearn Thai:
Made reservation and arrived and posted hours on line with open table were not close to what was real hours at the restaurant. Plearn in Berkeley didn't open until an hour after we had confirmed reservation. Obviously suggest restaurant and open table update hours. I ate at original plearn all the time in the 80's and eat at the one in walnut creek now. View all feedback.

The first time to dinner. had their mee krob appetizer, which is not served in most east bay Thai restaurants. it was very good. squid salat was excellent as well as quite hot. jumbo fried prawns disappointing. fried aubergine with pig chicken ok.

I've never had such tasteless and sick Thai food in my life. on a good note the cost were so cheap we couldn't believe it. a beer was 3.75 no reason to return, unless we are in the opposite and need a beer.

Good food, average price, good service in the light of only 1 waitress. eating was served at a time based on preparation. last court pretty slow because ran out of tofu and had to go and get it. but the food and quiet borrowed from our definitiw returned took other critics commented taking into consideration and no meal ordered with a red pepper icon. but 1 meal was still a little spicy

I visited this restaurant for dinner for the first time. I decided to try the Mee Krob appetizer, which is not something you usually find at Thai restaurants in the East Bay. It was absolutely delicious. The squid salad was also fantastic, although quite spicy. Unfortunately, the jumbo fried prawns were a letdown. The fried eggplant with pork and chicken was decent, but nothing special.

I have never experienced Thai cuisine that was as flavorless and unappealingly plated as I did at this restaurant. Despite the lackluster food, I was pleasantly surprised by the affordable prices - with a beer costing only $3.75. I wouldn't return unless I found myself nearby and only looking for a beverage.
