Infinite Thai Eatery — Restaurant in Oakland

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?

Wow, seriously disappointing. Reading the raving reviews I didn't expect to have such a horrible experience. Maybe it's because I got delivery instead of eating in. Ordered the $20 lychee duck which I originally thought was the soup I got, since the soupy dish consisted 5 small pieces of duck and some canned lychees that have gone bad Theit literally didn't seem like a real dish. The $15 treasure soup was just water with frozen seafood that consisted of a scallop that has also gone bad. The so called white Jasmine rice is literally the typical cheap, non Jasmine rice you get from the cheap Chinese take outs. so essentially I spent over $50 on an order where the only edible thing was the $10 calamari salad , which btw had 3 pieces of frozen calamari and some lettus and shredded carrots, only because it had good flavors in the dressing. This is pretty much as bad as it gets as far as a restaurant that gives zero care to the quality...

My family and I have been coming here since Infinite Thai first opened its doors on Piedmont Ave. We cannot say enough good things about this restaurant and its owners. The food is consistently delicious; our favorites are the pumpkin curry, pad see ew, crab moon cheese appetizer, and tom kha gai soup. The owners Kloy and Joe are welcoming, professional and warm. We recently celebrated my dad’s 70th birthday and rented out their front dining room. They presented my dad with flowers and a card, completely unexpected and so genuine! Infinite Thai you have our hearts and our stomachs...
