A friend took me here for dinner for my birthday. The atmosphere inside is warm and comfortable and is conducive to having both a relaxing dining experience and intimate conversation.
We (I) intentionally ordered a lot of food with an eye towards taking leftovers home later, but you should know that the portions for all parts of the menu - from the appetizers to the a la carte offerings - are substantial. You'll be happily stuffed.
For appetizers we ordered Thai Toast, Veggie Egg Rolls and Taro Tod. All were perfectly executed together with their dipping sauces. For salad and soup we ordered the Larb Gai and Tom Kai Gai respectively. The flavors were perfect. The chicken for the soup was cooked perfectly and almost melted as you ate it. Seriously. I also ordered Chu Chee - a spicy red curry with coconut milk, mushrooms and lime leaves. Finally, I ordered lots of Thai iced tea.
My friend, who's a vegetarian, ordered BK's own friend rice (which was made vegetarian for her - the staff will really accommodate you here) and Param Pak - mixed vegetables with tofu, topped with a curry peanut sauce.
All of the dishes were executed perfectly. I am not exaggerating here - in Thai cuisine it's easy to overcook chicken or tofu or seafood. Happens all the time. No worries here. I have been eating Thai food literally for decades, especially in L.A. and Northern California. BK's is the best I've had here in Northern California. Quality ingredients you can literally taste cooked perfectly. I've been looking for Thai food of quality in the bay area for years. Finally found it.
Some final notes: You can order take-out (I just did!). FYI: There is a very small house wine list that is not online. There is also a special menu that changes regularly - check it out. The restaurant is located right across from the Brendon theaters - A nice meeting spot!. The prices are reasonable, especially considering the quality of the ingredients and execution. Finally, the service is excellent! Friendly, attentive but not intrusive. If you've longed for good Thai food, treat yourself.
