Contribute Feedback What Victor Wang likes about Plearn Thai:
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 doesn't like 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 for 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 eggplant with chicken OK.
I've never had such tasteless and unimaginable Thai food in my life. On a good note the costs were so cheap we couldn't believe it. A beer was $3,75. No reason to return unless we're in the area and need a beer.
Good food, average price, good service in the light of only 1 waitress. 1 dish was served at a time that was prepared when. Last court pretty slow because ran out of Tofu and had to go and get it. However, the food and silence lent to our definitely return Took other reviewers comments taking into account and no meal ordered with a red pepper icon. But 1 meal was still a little spicy
Food is fresh and tasty. Curry dishes are wonderful!
We were greeted by a waitress who spoke virtually no English and had no idea what Open Table was. Took repeated requests to speak to someone else to get the manager. We ordered off the lunch special menu. The food was adequate but nothing more and, in the case of one of our orders, was not what we had ordered. But it was the same price, was acceptable and would have been too complicated to suggest a correction. There are two Plearn Thai's in the same general area of Berkeley, one on University and one on Shattuck. Only the University location is on Open Table and this guided our selection. Not sure if we'll try the other location or not.
