Excellent Thai place I first went when it was very new. They didn't have lunch specials at that time. Been back multiple times, it's always excellent food and service. They accommodate special requests well. It's clean, new, comfortable, with easy parking. I'm planning on returning and trying more of the house specialties
This is my 2nd time and 2nd review for this place. While the service and the ambiance have been the same level of excellence - this time the dishes tried were not as delicious as the ones I tried the first time. The Tom Kha soup was flavorful and delicious but they added tomatoes to it which was my first time seeing it and I prefer without it. The Red curry and the Pra Ram were nothing out of the ordinary.
Rule 1. Your Papaya Salad must be fire. In order for your papaya salad to be fore, it must be hand cut. No peeler short cuts please. I don't want everything to be uniform. Saneh Bangkok does it right...With Saneh! My family and I came here on Superbowl Sunday, so it was pretty empty. Maybe 2 tables were occupied when we arrived, and about 5 when we left. It's a small joint, so if this place catches fire, you could end up waiting. All the dishes we ordered were amazing. The Pork was crispy (reminiscent of Lechon kawali if you know Filipino food.) The fish was fresh and tasty, and came with a fried rice with amazing flavor. The Pad See Ew was good, although I would probably for the Pad Kee Mow next time (my mother doesn't like spice). The only thing that didn't appeal to me, was that the fish dish came with steamed vegetables? Cabbage/Carrots/Green Beans. Is this normal for Thai Cuisine? I'm used to these veggies being pickled, and I would have much preferred that. Service was great. The carafe of water was always filled and COLD. Honestly, this could be my favorite Thai place in the East Bay right now. It is on the pricier side (About $90 w/ tax+tip for Papaya Salad, Pork, Fish, and Noodles) but worth a try. Especially for that Crispy Pork.
This place is possibly my favorite new finds out here! And, it's also a very clear reminder of why I try to never review a place based on take out / delivery. The first time I tried this, via delivery, i didn't love the food. So I made it a point to see how the food is in person, and boy am I glad I did! I've tried several things thus far, and the chicken wings might be my favorite! They are giant and crispy and tender, and all the great things! I've also had the green curry (amazing on a cold day), crab fried rice, and crab Rangoon. The place itself is nice for a nice relaxed meal, with good service! Highly recommend.
Food was great a lot of flavor. Servers were very friendly however it seem to be a bit busy. All in all good food and maybe would have been better to order as take out.
Good authentic Thai food are hard to find in the Bay Area, and we found one! Located off a main road in a strip mall with ample parking, expect to be put on a waiting list during peak dining hours but worth the wait. Beautifully decorated and friendly staff are the first thing you'll notice walking in (only one restroom stall). Restaurant is not that big with seating for about 40 people. The food is excellent all around and the paste and sauce taste fresh. To round it off, this place got amazing pairing cocktails (order your food and ask the Waiter for cocktail recommendations).
I'm so happy to see a delicious restaurant in this spot! Saneh has some of the best Thai food I've ever had in the Bay. The way they've styled the restaurant is so flattering and cozy for its guests. Service was fast, friendly and we are so happy to welcome them to the neighborhood! Their signature drink Saneh was DELICIOUS - never had fermented agave wine in a drink and it was to die for The Tom Yum was fresh, tangy and perfect appetizer to start. We had spicy eggplant with tofu and Pad See Ew with chicken - sorry for the mid-eating pic! Forgot that *phone eats first* we HOUSED the food - too good to leave even a little bit. I highly recommend supporting this small business, you won't be disappointed in the food, service or staff! Thanks for welcoming us, Saneh! We will be back... often
