Does well as delivery. Garlic noodles with extra chicken was tasty, not overwhelming or overly greasy. The extra chicken portion was generous. Egg rolls were crisp snd flavorful. Thai iced tea with oat milk hit the spot, is not overly sweet, and I really appreciate that PraJam has 3 milk options to choose from (Half & Half, Oat, and Coconut). The weakest link was the mango & sticky rice: tasty, good and generous mango, but the rice was not as sticky as I like it. Rice also could have used more sesame seed topping, but it was still yummy. Prices were sometimes a little high (nearly $11 for mango&sticky rice), but not terribly so. Glad this place has opened in my neighborhood.

The decor is bare bones utilitarian. The food? Anything but. A piping hot bowl of green curry infused coconut accompanied by sizeable mound of fragrant Jasmine rice. Basil, string beans, red bell pepper, broccoli, carrot, and purple eggplant are accompanied by plump sweet, white shrimp. This gave me a slight runny nose. A sure sign of good heat! Opposite of LL Cool J, "Call it a comeback!", and like the governator, "I'll be back!".

My sister and I was craving, and was in the area and decided to give this place a try! It's pretty small inside, probably not great for large parties. Parking is pretty tight, but you can always park on the street. It's right next to a smog shop. We ordered, mango with sticky rice, drunken noodles, crab Rangoon, firecracker shrimp (I think that's what it's called) and a stir fry. Everything was definitely flavorful. Out of everything we ordered, the stir fry was the best dish. Our waiter was really nice and very attentive. Overall, I would come back.

As a lover of the recently closed Berkeley Thai House, it’s comforting to know PraJam Thai is there! The food is even tastier than BTH, especially the Tom Kha and pad see ew!!

I enjoy ordering delivery from here just because the lot and place looks small. But the food? YES. Even with delivery, the food is hot, flavorful, fresh and hits the spot every time. My favorites are the calamari, crab rangoon, pad see ew, spicy curry noodle and drunken noodle. Thai tea and Thai coffee always hits. Good, filling food that just brings you comfort from your head to your toes!!

Mistake. We decided to try this place because we were hungry and didn't want to wait until after 5pm for our trusted Thai place to open. We ordered: crab rangoon - terrible. The wrap seemed to be actual bread dough? It was thick and hard to bite through. The filling was average. Not yummy. Panang curry - terrible. The curry didn't taste like anything but had a layer of oil on top. It was filled with way too much of tofu and vegetables. The fried tofu was just gross. It was doughy, soggy weird and Large chunks. The vegetables were old and overcooked. Pad Thai - terrible. It was an over cooked clump of ketchupy rice noodles. We had opted for the fried tofu on this too. Dang. Another terrible mistake. As I explained before the way they've treated their fried tofu is unlike anything I've ever seen. I really don't think they know what they're doing? They were terrible and we got this in two of our dishes. Shrimp fried rice - meh. This was the only dish that had any kind of character to it. At least it had a little bit of flavor. But once again, overcooked and mushy. I will never return here. That was a lesson to just wait it out and go to your favorite Thai restaurant. People don't waste your money. I'm not being mean this is real. I'm just being serious. I'm embarrassed for them. This type of food should never have left a restaurant that has any respect for what they're putting out. I will never return. Go to Banana Leaf instead.

We stumbled across this restaurant and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. We ordered to go food which arrived a a good temperature and the spice level was perfect. Besides the spice level, the food was well flavored. We will definitely try the restaurant again.

My husband and I have ordered from here a few times by delivery. We both enjoy the food, we've never had an issue with packaging, portions, missing anything from our order, and twice we've scored a bogo. I personally like a heavier hand with coconut and curry, but that's really being picky.

This place has potential. Clean and nice presentation but the thai fried rice with fried chicken was pretty mid there was barely any flavor to the rice. Usually with thai fried rice I taste a lot of onions tomatos and basil but not much of that. The fried chicken was good but it was nothing special. Had a nice crisp though. The crab rangoons were good but i didn't see or taste any crab. Not sure it was worth the $. However, this place is new and I'm looking forward to trying other things!

Food was good! The flavor was nice. Got the crab fried rice which was very generous. The rice was a bit overcooked but overall it had great flavor. The chicken basil was very tasty! The chicken was tender and good. Lots of pieces and it comes with rice. This is a good place to sit down or for takeout.

Great service, tasty food, good phone. Order online, call in your order, just show up and order it's all good. AND I always forget this place is just a short walk from Catahoula Coffee.

Thai restaurant with all flavorful currys and well cooked vegetables. The curries served to go are very warm and delicious with tofu or salmon. If you like Asian deserts, the mango sticky rice is delicious. Unfortunately / fortunately it might not be available if the mangoes aren't ripe. A nice surprise given the block doesn't look particularly fancy. The place is surrounded by businesses that close in the evening, so it's easy to park. The dining room is combined with an open kitchen, and both are tidy. If I could use half points, I would take half a star for the dining room floor feeling a bit simple next to everything else. Great product and more affordable than most Thai restaurants, enjoy it while it's building a clientele and the line is short.

Delicious food - we got mostly vegetarian. A curry, a noodle dish, fried pineapple rice, crispy veg egg rolls. Lunch special until 5 pm (not sure about weekends). Staff very nice and friendly. And we easily found street parking.

Large portions, delicious Pad Thai, always quick. Has definitely gotten better since they opened. Yes, parking can be a challenge, but that's not really their fault, is it?
