This is our neighborhood Thai spot. I am thrilled they have survived for so long. I have been eating takeout from here for about 24 years now. They have lasted through neighborhood hold-ups (grrr), the pandemic, and so much more. It's great food and really lovely people too. The fish curry is fantastic, as is the Tom Kai Gai. The fresh rolls are a meal on their own, if you want to eat light, and they have mango in them. If you want noodles, I think the Pad Kee Mao is a little better than the Pad Thai, but you can also get a side of either type of noodle and add them to the Tom Kai Gai -- which might be my favorite noodle option. I crave the Tom Kai Gai on the regular. It is so bright and well balanced. If you want fried rolls, prefer the veggie spring rolls over the meat ones. They have glass noodles in them and come with sugar/vinegar dipping sauce w/ chopped peanuts. The peanut sauce is great as well. Most Thai places let me down in some area, but not Saysetha. I feel lucky to have them so close. Try everything. :) I hope you love it as much as we do, and I hope they continue to stay in business. It's a gem! Thank you, Saysetha, for all the years you have made my stomach happy. We appreciate you!

Food: authentic Thai, super delicious, abundant and affordable.Service: medium velocity but very kind and helpful. Ambiance: We had the food as take-out but it would have been alright to eat at the restaurant. There's a lot of space, even for waiting. The waiting area benches are hand carved and intricate, and the decorations in the restaurant are typical Thai, and not overly full. Just enough to remind you this this a specialty restaurant.Every time we come here on a Friday or so, it's pretty low on customers, which needs to change. It's so good, clean and pleasant to eat in, they deserve all the customers they can get.

We've been coming here for 26 years. The food has been great the whole time. Service is always friendly. Casual, comfortable, rustic. Open dining room is good for the whole family.

Sayesetha is one of my favorite no frills Thai spots in Oakland. I love grabbing takeout from here, but also appreciate getting a table with friends every now and then. The service is excellent and the owner is super friendly. I went recently and ended up getting some pad See Ew and beef curry. Both dishes were super tasty. The curry had a rich flavor and was very filling. The owner even brought out some soup for us on the house!I'd recommend checking this spot out if you're looking for some affordable Thai takeout or a super casual dinner with a group of friends.

Consistently a great spot! I've now tried many noodles, rices, and curries, and they're really good. My favorites are pad see ew and pumpkin curry. There's an older gentleman I normally see (maybe he's the owner?) and he is so friendly. Their takeout is also very fast, usually ready in 10-15 min. Highly recommend!

Appetizers were okay, but entrees were drenched in sugary salty mess of a sauce with NO spice.We came in for dinner really hungry after a long day visiting in Berkley and sat down to order 4 dishes two entrees and two apps: summer spring rolls were pretty nice and light, the sauce was somewhat over powering the papaya salad was also ok but a little heavy on the sweet sauce, but both the curry and beef- broccoli dishes tasted like you were eating globs full of salty canned soup stock with a bunch of sugar added...we left with most of it uneaten and a $75 bill for two people. (Not sure if thats normal in this area). Stomach not feeling too well after that...they definitely serve to a certain kind of palate.
