So glad I finally came by today for a late lunch (2PM) - cool place (love the decor/style), nice staff & tasty food. Some dishes you will not find in the average Thai restaurant in the Bay Area. For example, the chef or owner is from northern Thailand so the menu features a top Northern Thai dish - Kao Soi noodle soup (beef or chicken), or the all time fav 'street food' grilled pork skewers (moo ping) served with sticky rice (ck out the menu on their website). I had the Pad Kemao Chicken (menu says beef but they are happy to make dishes with what you like & even have Beyond Meat dishes on the menu - cool to see stir fried basil with Beyond Meat (Krapao Beyond Neur). The taste of my wok fried pad kemao was delicious, same or better than any I've had on prior trips to Bangkok. Glad to have discovered a solid Thai restaurant that doesn't have watered down flavors (adapted for non-Thais). Good to see they have a lot of gluten free and vegan choices on the menu too. Definitely will be back, keep up the good work!

The BEST gluten free everything bagel I’ve had in a longgggg time. Get yourself over here if you also can’t have gluten - you won’t regret it!! Iced Oatmilk latte was also delicious!

Love this place. Brunch is the best for the Brats and Eggs. They always have an interesting game brat option, and it is always delicious. The beer selection is great, and they have good gluten free food options for my wife.

Great sandwiches including a HUGE vegan menu. They have gluten free/vegan bread as an option also for those that prefer it. Order ahead since it might take a bit of time to get the sandwiches made.

Their meat is gluten free. The cornbread and Mac gave gluten. Everything else should be good for gluten free folks!

Amazing food at a reasonable price with generous portions. The interior has an industrial aesthetic, but it's comfortable and the staff are very friendly here. They have a great selection of Gluten Free options and they have the best shawarma fries in the area!

Held an event for 25-28 people here on a Monday night for a work event. They were great to work with in leading up to the event, very responsive. The night-of the restaurant was set up so nicely and the atmosphere was perfect for a group our size. Everyone was super impressed with the food, sake drinks and the service. The staff was very professional and friendly. The food was amazing and bountiful! We were all so stuffed - and the food kept coming! The Hamachi Shooters were a fan favorite. And there were enough options for our vegetarian and gluten-free friends. Definitely recommend for future events and just dinner in general.
