Review Infinite Thai Eatery - Oakland

I’ve been coming here for a few years and I’ve never had a single bad experience. The food is always good and the owners are incredibly warm, kind people. I particularly like all of their curries - the pumpkin curry being my favorite - but I also love their eggplant in spicy basil sauce 😍 I enjoy sitting inside or outside right on the beautiful Piedmont Avenue, and it’s also great for taking home in a pinch. Thank you for the great meals and warm interactions!

Maybe the best Thai food ever. This is a gem of a place. Small but amazing.

Would highly recommend this place. VERY flavorful food. Best customer service. Large portions. We got the Tom yum noodle soup and green Thai curry it was very delicious!

Intend to return for Praram Tofu and Anchor Steam beer! (4/5 green stars) The two first things that will probably hit you when you walk into Infinite Thai are that the place is cheerfully decorated and the staff members are very friendly and helpful. We shared a Praram tofu ($13), Pad See Ew (with tofu - $11), and also had a green tea ($2) and Anchor Steam beer ($4). All beer was $4 – all bottled I believe but some trusty choices (besides the Anchor) like Fat Tire, Launitas IPA, and Trumer. It was nice to have a simple glass of Anchor Steam for a change – I’d forgotten how tasty it is – and at a good price too! The praram tofu was perhaps the best example of this dish that I’ve had – the sauce had an interesting mix of spice and sweetness – way better than some peanut sauces that seem like little more than diluted peanut butter. The pad see ew had more veggies compared to most versions of this dish that I’ve had – a healthier version of this dish (but could have done with a bit more sauce). I also appreciate that it costs more to add veggies rather than serving a plate that’s 95% noodles. Definitely intend to return. I’m giving them 4/5 “green stars” for social and environmental impact, based on these reasons: • Like most Thai restaurants they have a good number of vegetarian or vegan dishes. • They do have an “organic veggie” dinner special on the menu. • Other than that dish they don’t provide info on sourcing of any ingredients. • For example, I’d like to know if the tofu is organic as I don’t want to support soy grown from neonic-coated seeds (see greenstarsproject for more details on this). • All beers are fairly local (CA or CO) except for the one Thai beer (Singha). • Most of the beer is from breweries that are doing quite well in terms of environmental impact (e.g., New Belgium). • As far as I remember, food to go was packaged in a cardboard box but in a plastic bag (ditch the plastic, folks!). • Overall, it looks like they are doing a decent job but would like to see more info on website & menu – they are just getting going so I hope to hear more in the future : ) Interested in writing green star reviews?

We used to frequent this place a lot when we were doing a project up the street for about a year, and I remembered that it was consistently good. So I thought I was in for a good pad Thai for lunch today but I find they’ve used a noodle that’s like angel hair pasta, not flat. Not a big deal but I specifically asked them to not make it too spicy. Of course they did anyway. Like I can’t even eat it (and I like some food spicy). Pad Thai is usually $10-12, this was $14 and not worth it. I won’t go back.

Favorite local takeout spot! Always delicious with large portions. Never had a bad dish.

We live around the corner from this spot and strolled down for an (almost) post-pandemic meal outside. Excellent food and super friendly service! I’m glad they are still here, and look forward to more belly-happy visits.

This has been our go to for Thai takeout and it’s bomb. Sometimes, takeout can start all tasting the same. Not here. The flavors here are extraordinary- just yum. Kai soi soup, mango salad, massamman curry, to name a few.

Good foods, service is fine, location and restaurant is also very good.

Excellent food and service. Varied dishes made from fresh ingredients. Generous servings given with a generous spirit.
