Charm Thai Bistro 4063 Piedmont Avenue, Oakland, CA 94611

"Having tried many many thai restaurants in Berkeley and Oakland, Charm has become my go-to in the last year or so. The khao soi, duck noodle soup, and seafood pumpkin curry are a few of my favorites but everything I’ve tried here has been spot on. Service is excellent, food is delicious, and prices are good. There are also lots of vegetarian options that my girlfriend enjoys. If you are in the area, it is definitely worth stopping by."

"Truly wonderful place. Charm is a great restaurant along Piedmont. Service is kind and knowledgeable. Large menu with plenty of authentic options. A whole page of specials including lamb with saffron rice were excellent. Enjoyed my pad thai modified to be vegetarian. I would definitely ask for spicy options in the future. The inside was cute! Little arrangements on each table, sprawling marble counter tops. Decor along the walls was a chef’s kiss for this thai restaurant. Would definitely come back again."

"Charm Thai Bistro is a relatively small restaurant that serves many of the dishes somewhat similar to what you can find in Street Food in Thailand. Everything we tried was delicious. The Crab Fried rice had a lot of actual crab meat and was really tasty. The Panang curry with beef and Prawn Mango salad were also very good. The parking lot outside has a sign that states that it is a “High Theft Lot” ! Be aware of that."

"Great spot - they have a lunch specials menu that just hits the spot. I got Khao Soi and while I was eating it, two separate people who I didn’t know came up to me and asked me what I was eating because it looked so good. And they were right to do that. It goes insano style, truly top notch zing in your mouth. See u at Charm for lunch."

"The food was tasty. The portions were decent sized. The only complaint I have about the food is that the mushrooms in the Tom Kah Gai were undercooked -- basically raw. Not sure if this were intentional. The flavors were great though. They offer a special menu with their regular one containing just vegetarian options. I dig this kind of intentional inclusivity! The dining room was well decorated. The restaurant is in an historical building which adds to the ambiance. I definitely enjoyed my dining experience. Will return."
