I'd go here more often but parking can be difficult to find. Atmosphere is great and the restaurant is small.

Found this place on Yelp since visiting area for a medical appointment anyway. Having recently returned from northern Thailand and finding the dish, Pad Kraw Pow, so delicious, I had to order it with a fried egg on top of my rice. So delicious, very authentic! Highly recommend and can't wait to try other dishes.

One of the most impressive pad Thais I've had as of late since Bangkok! The balance of flavors were beautiful. Hidden jem spot that has its own significant glamour and charm, but also quaint, humble and straight to the point. Decor is beautiful. The dining area can accommodate while still feeling intimate. This probably isn't for larger groups though. Staff were also very nice! I once walked by while they were closed and a staff working that day still took the time to get me a menu for my next visit. The Pad Thai Cha Ya is unforgettable. Everything about it was perfect, and I've never had this dish so the cream surprised me but absolutely impressed. The crab portion were large (probably lends to its price) and comes in different textures. Also got the pumpkin red curry and they do not bring down the spice here! True north Thailand style - something to keep in mind in regards to spice tolerance. The tofu was cooked perfectly and the pumpkin literally tasted like butter. Oh, and they also have singha on tap!! 5 stars across, easily.

My s/o and I discovered this place last year and fell in love with the food, service, ambiance, and hospitality. We come here sometimes and the main host/waiter always recognizes us! (Hello if you're reading ^___^) It's a family owned spot that has adopted a concept kitchen model and they change their menu with new items almost every month/few months. Because of this, we're always excited to see what new items they have. And yes, their main menu stays true to thai cuisine, yet there are other items with a twist. But it's not an overwhelmingly fusion place which I really appreciate. Without further ado, here are my takeaways of this place. Food: From the times I've been here the food has always been excellently prepared and absolutely phenomenal. With every dish my s/o and I have ordered, the flavors are always balanced and cooked well. My fav dish that I got recently was the Khao Sud Soi w/Steak.... just WOW. I personally love spicy food, and am pleased that some of their dishes are not too watered down for the western palate like other places. As for the sandos, I think they're good, however sometimes can be a little overcooked and dry. I'd love to have some more cabbage coleslaw for more "sauce" in it. Atmosphere: The restaurant is quite small as it's nestled underneath 2 apartments above and next door to Los Moles, but don't let that fool you. The interior is beautifully adorned with Thai trinkets both traditional and modern, art, pop culture references, quirky figurines/toys, yet it feels very homey and inviting. Suggestions: I'd love to see some thai inspired cocktails added to the menu :)

Solid Thai spot - I've toured all the Thai spots in east bay and I'd place it in the middle tier. Champa garden, farmhouse, pintoh, and the occasional imm thai all offer the best in my humble opinion. That said, the pad kee mao was really good! The sandwich - it's like good for what it was, but wouldn't feel compelled to try it again. Anyways if you're reading this matt, thank you for taking me here and treating me for my bday :') I really appreciated this meal with u

We rarely go to Emeryville, but now we have two reasons to! On a night when Good To Eat was closed we wandered into Secrets of Tiger. Twas a great night. Their Basil Fried Rice is delicious. Definitely order this. Their Green Curry: chef's kiss. We've tried so many Thai restaurants and this one flew towards the top of the list! Also, can we note how cute the decor is? Pictures cannot possibly capture this. There are adorable lightbulbs that have stars and the word "dream" inside, lush plants, colorful neon lights, and memorabilia hidden everywhere. They also have the BEST side of Thai chilis a girl could ask for. They even let me take some home! They're so warm and kind. Come for the spices and leave with smiles.

A friend who works in Emeryville told me about this place. We usually meet for lunches at Public Market and wanted to get something new into the rotation. What can I say? I really liked it. The place itself is colorful and vibrant, the service fast and friendly. The fellow diners looked like most of them were on their lunch break (it was noon). The menu is great, if you are a bit adventurous. It was a bit difficult to find something lower carb, so I just went with the pad See Ew haha. Low carb, low schmarb, right? The noodles had a very appealing flavor and the meat was quite juicy. The portion was on the smaller side, but more than enough for me (I know the husband would have bitched about it though...). My friend had a crazy milk toast tower with satey skewers stuck into it. It was filled with some kind of curry - a little sweet, a little spicy. I've never seen anything like it before. I think, I'll be back ;-)
