Overall, however, I would consider it a great place in the neighbourhood to get some delicious food with friendly service, and good portions. we were glad that the rest of the next day came home.

Love the diverse menu. Small and quaint. Conveniently located. Within walking distance to Lake Merritt and shopping. read more Love the diverse menu. Small and quaint. Conveniently located. Within walking distance to Lake Merritt and shopping.

I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the vegan options and service at Neecha Thai. Food was ready FAST. The pumpkin curry was soamazingly flavorful and the portions were massive. Even the portion of rice was big, they gave two containers for the singleorder. My one meal alone was definitely enough to feed two people. The veggie skewers with peanut sauce were a solidlysatisfying appetizer. There were a variety of tofu and wheat-gluten (seitan) protein options. I'm definitely going to be cravingtheir food now whenever I want Thai!
