GaiNoi: Reviews & Ratings
I absolutely loved everything that I ordered. I got the Green curry with Jasmine. It was rich and flavor from the coconut milk to the spice. The vegetables were very fresh and melted in your mouth. ...
Was walking around looking for some lunch as a lot of places were closed for the holidays, and excited to find a new lunch spot! Food was fresh, excellent, and fast. Definitely coming back.
I had the egg rolls which were really good. They have a good menu with a lot of options. Friends had a noodle dish and they said it was good too. Ill try a main dish next time Im in the area.
A delicious hidden gem in downtown Oakland! I really enjoyed the food here and will definitely be coming back and worth the visit!
Pass by Oakland with a friend today and discovered this gem of a nofrills Thai restaurant in a small street in Downtown Oakland. We ordered Thai fish cakes, curry puffs, Panang curry and fried rice for lunch and the food all tastes great. ...
