The Saap Avenue - Oakland

The food was wonderful, the staff was friendly, definitely come back. It's a small place with small tables, so it's a little hard to place all the many wonderful dishes ordered.

Been going here since 2018. Amazing food and cocktails. However the portion sizes are being cut by more than half because of rising prices is what I was told by Linda today. Seems like a poor decision to just put less in the meal and not say anything....picked up my food and there just wasn't enough to have a meal so I ate leftovers to supplement it. I tried calling a few times and gave up because they usually don't answer the phone. BTW I'm only 130lbs and quite thin if you are wondering so it's not I like a need a ton of food. I'll go back but order it with twice the duck (original amount) and pay extra but gosh let the customer know or give them an option on the menu: $10 surcharge for #oz extra. Whatever.

So fun and easy and you get to have Laotian food and great cocktails. The servers are great, the ceilings high, and the food delicious.

Really delicious food and drinks here here! Friendly staff, too. Great corner restaurant with good natural lighting. Great for both casual meals with friends as well as dates. First, the drinks I've had many from here. On one occasion, the bartender was awesome with recommendations and discussing different flavors with me. I generally don't like old fashioneds, but she recommend their version and it was delicious. I've also had Japanese Penicillin recently, which was yummy. I think the food is special and delicious. Recently, I had Ho Mok Pla (steamed Catfish), which I thought was wonderful. It was wrapped in banana leaves, which imparted great flavor into the fish. I also enjoyed their yellow curry and fried tofu with tamarind. Every dish was great. Big fan of this neighborhood spot. In terms of the food, it might be one of my favorite Southeast Asian spots in Oakland (and there are MANY tasty options).

Great place and service. Food is awesome and all the cocktails I've tired are really good as well
