Summer Summer Thai Eatery

So...this is a heartbreaking review. For years (before Covid) my wife and I would drive all the way from Sacramento to emeryville just to get the shortrib curry. It was truly a destination dish. We had not been back for some time and last year I was in Oakland and door dashed red curry and spring rolls and both were inedible...but it was door dashed. We had Hope.We went in today for lunch and nothing was good--the food or the service. We started with Tom yum soup that had "a vomit aftertaste"...yikes. My wife had the short rib curry, took 2 bites and could not continue. My red curry with tofu was at most ok, which promotes the review to 2 stars. Lastly, we both needed water. We waived at the server who saw us and then ignored us--never to come check in again. We had to walk to the entrance to pay and leave...to unfortunately never return.

By the time my train from Chicago got into emeryville, I was wiped. So I found the closest Thai place and ordered door dash. It was incredibly quick , arriving within 15 mins of ordering. I had the fried rice and was surprised that not only could I add tofu, but for $2 per topping, I could get veggies, which are so hard to get when traveling. So I added cooked spinach and broccoli. The flavor was excellent - and the added veggies were nicely cooked and blended well with the meal. After eating about half it, however, it seemed a little greasy and was hard to finish. So I recommend but just with a slight warning that it was greasier than I wanted.

This Thai spot is a hidden gem! We visited on a Friday or Saturday night, and it wasn't too crowded. The food is uniquely delicious, and they even have a full bar. The decor and ambiance are intimate and inviting. Highly recommend checking it out!

The veggie red curry was spot on, exactly as expected and paired well with brown rice. Reasonable prices, portions, good service, street parking pretty easy, and spacious for our group of 6.

The corn fritters here are delicious!!! Best corn fritters I had at a Thai restaurant. The food is delicious and packed with flavor.

While in town for my son's basketball tournament wanted to have Thai food and found this place for take out. The service was great! While waiting - a short 10 minutes from order to out the door - they gave me water noticing I was parched. So kind. The food was great! Please see pictures. The ambience was clean and modern. Noted their offerings on libations and was impressed. I will come back here for the food and great service. My kids would love it and will bring them with me next time!

I got the pad kee mau, ginger lemonade, and pad woo sen. Everything was sooo delicious and made so quickly. Definitely one of the best things to eat near the Emeryville Amtrak.

Unexpectedly surprised. I came here on Monday wvening enjoy some hot food with a hot person. First off, there were actually a good amount of people. I think they're probably understaffed since we had to wait to be seated and waited to a while to get our order in. They only had to servers for many people.I ordered the summer roll. The it really didn't taste like much, I'd skip it, would've been better if they had peanut sauce.Curry dumplings were good although I thought the dumplings tasted like ones you could get from Trader Joe's. The curry is what made it good.I was going to give this place 3 stars until we got the curries! The green and red curry were divine and completely makes up for the appetizers. The egg plant in the green curry is a dish a dish I can see myself ordering over and over again.

Exceptionally bad customer service. The food is not too bad. It's mediocre in comparison to other Thai establishments near by. The rude and sarcastic comments on several occasions have convinced me spend my money elsewhere.

Food was delicious. Service was exceptional. Staff were friendly. Greeted us with a smile all the time. Restaurant looks great. Clean restrooms. Sure to come back. Highly recommended.
