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.

Despite some issues with reservations and unexpected closures, this Thai restaurant has received a mix of reviews. Some customers have praised the atmosphere, service, and quality of the dishes, calling it their favorite Thai restaurant in the Bay Area. However, others have been disappointed with the food, with one reviewer describing it as tasteless and unimaginable. Although prices are reasonable and the overall experience can vary, it may not be a top choice for everyone.
