What Madeline likes about CHAO THAI CUISINE:
Cozy little place but with great food! Very out of the way but really great meals!!! I really really recommend the yellow curry!! It was so delicious. I will definitely come back! Try this place now!!!Vegetarian options: CALLING ALL VEGETARIANSThere aren't really a lot of vegetarian options, most of the meals include meat of some kind. Although, they do have great fish! If you're vegetarian come here for the pumpkin... View all feedback. What Kathleen W doesn't like about CHAO THAI CUISINE:
I had delivery, my food came quickly and was still warm. The chicken satay was dry! It was over cooked. It was the star of the show and very disappointing. The peanut sauce was good though, the mango sticky rice was delicious. View all feedback.

I asked for the dress rolls and Tum kha Gai soup, my delight today was the flavor of the soup, rich and with that lime ‘twist’ the leaves gave a very nice taste...

The restaurant is in a great location by Lake Merritt with plenty of nearby activities, making it a lively spot to visit. The atmosphere is welcoming, with some outdoor seating available. However, the service was lacking, with customers having to request basic items like utensils and napkins. The food received mixed reviews, with some dishes like the Pad See Ew and shrimp spring rolls being praised for their flavor, while others like the chicken satay and vegetarian panang curry were disappointing. Despite the varied food reviews, the overall sentiment was positive with many guests enjoying their meals. The restaurant is described as cozy and worth a visit, especially for those looking for great vegetarian options. Parking in the area can be a challenge, but the food and service make it worth the effort.
