OH MY GOODNESS!! Thats what it was!! Absolute goodness! I have not had such delicious Thai food in so long. It tasted so fresh with just the right amount of spice. I ordered the green curry and jasmine rice with a thai tea with boba. Everything was perfect! Perfect temperature, perfect flavor and perfect amount! This is my new go to Thai place! Only problem is no boba straw.

I have ordered multiple different items from here, countless times throughout the past 3 years. This is my go-to Thai restaurant, as they are consistent in quality, serve large portions for the prices, and the flavors are so authentic. Nothing compares. Kao Poon is my ABSOLUTE favorite, and the Tom Yum is the best I've had in the East Bay. Lots of vegetarian options for my mom as well, and they are always accommodating with our requests. Only been inside once for pickup and staff was super attentive and friendly. Cozy vibes. 12/10 would recommend!!!

Sweet Sticky Rice with Mango portion is small and price is expensive. But overall, Pad Thai , thai tea and mango sticky rice are pretty good.

Ordered the Koo Ruk (Fried Shrimp and Calamari) ,Gang Gang Jerd Woon Sen , chicken Larb and the Lychee Thai Tea. everything came out to be approximately $50 without tax and tip.
Everything arrived on time and was well packaged except for the drink. It was left exposed, and you never know if somebody will lift the lid and try to sneak a sip! It should be taped on and in a separate plastic bag.... just my suggestion.
The Koo Ruk (Fried Shrimp and Calamari) didn't travel well. At the time of delivery, it was a bit soggy plus the lid on the sauce popped off and the majority of the sauce was on the bottom of the container making everything extra soggy. However, the ones that were on top were pretty good as far as taste. Also for $15.45, I would have expected a little bit larger of a portion.
The Gang Jerd Woon Sen soup was delicious, and a good size for a whole meal as a single serving or to share with another person. It was very hot and full of noodles, ground pork and veggies.
The chicken Larb was also delicious, full of flavor, and even though I ordered "mild", it had a bit of a kick, so keep that in mind. The dish had a lot of lettuce to scoop the minced chicken, and it was garnished with some cucumbers.
The Lychee Thai Tea was also good with two lychees at the bottom of the cup. It didn't have condensed milk like your traditional Thai tea. however, it was very delicious. However, for the size of the to-go cup and price at $6, I'm not sure if I would order it again.
Overall l, everything was pretty good, and I would definitely order from them again. I'm definitely interested in trying their other dishes!

Pad Thai is normally go to and they are good. I ordered a medium spice thinking that it its not going to be too spicy...boy i was wrong! i think there were about 3-4 fresh crushed thai chili peppers on there, it was so spicy that i could not enjoy the rest of the flavors of the pad thai. I had to pick all the chili out, since i was not able to modify the dish w/o bean sprouts, i had to take those out too. I will stick to the mild from now on. This goes the same for the Thai Basil Fried Rice...the medium was too spicy. 5 stars for Chai Thai because this is my favorite thai place, but 3 for these dishes tonight.
