Sistory Thai Kitchen

If you’re looking for the best Thai food in the Bay Area, look no further than Sistory Thai Kitchen on San Pablo in Berkeley! We stumbled upon this gem online, and when I saw one of my all-time favorite dishes—whole fried fish with Thai salad, spicy chili lime dressing, and jasmine rice on the side—I had to go. Though the menu had changed slightly, the staff kindly agreed to prepare it just as it had appeared previously, and it was absolutely amazing! We also tried the Kao Pad Tom Yum, which was out of this world. The flavors were vibrant, and the fried rice was perfect. I can’t believe I didn’t find this place sooner! Highly recommend for authentic and delicious Thai cuisine.

I ordered take out from here on Uber Eats. The food tasted amazing & their packaging was also stellar, but while I was eating, I could help but notice the lack of flavor in the beef itself beyond the surface. Yes, it was tender, but lacking in flavor after each bite. I understand restaurants have to cut corner, but precooking veggies doesn’t do them any justice although the crinkle cut is an awesome touch to the texture. Love the flavor overall and the packaging quality, just needs some quality control. The Thai iced tea was also perfect in sweetness.

My first visit here was not bad. Tried some brunch plates and they tasted good. However, my 2nd visit was not the case. Kao Soi I ordered tastes terrible (hard to describe the flavor though).

I wish I found this place sooner. The restaurant just opened a couple years ago. Funny cause this isn’t that far from the other Thai resto my boyfriend and I used to go and didn’t know they exist. Anyways I ordered their Tom Yum fried rice that comes with grilled salmon and it was really delicious. For me it was the best Tom yum fried rice I’ve ever had. The fish cakes did not disappoint they were yummy. Their roti according to my boyfriend is the most delicious he tried so far.

Although this area sometime feels a bit sketchy, it has a lot of hidden gems and Sistory Thai Kitchen is one of them! Staffs are friendly, the price is reasonable, and the food is unique. I always come back for its garlic noodles with crispy pork belly. Great flavor and big enough portion!

Had $20 (before tax & tip) Spicy Eggplant with Tofu lunch special, includes appetizer, main dish, drink, and salad. It was good. I would come back again.

Fun brunch place! We went on Saturday around noon and we were able to be seated right away. It's quite a small restaurant. The food was delicious. We got the Crab Eggs Benedict, which I thought had a good amount of crab. And the potatoes and side salad were great sides. The appetizer with the curried potatoes and fried egg was also delicious. I also got the Thai Tea Pancakes, although I didn't think the syrup had enough Thai Tea flavor, and just ended up being too sweet. Overall, I would definitely go again. :)

So happy we got to be one of the first customers to ever eat at this new Thai restaurant. The place inside is pretty small, but the decor is cute & simple. They make the most of the room by putting as many small tables that fit with seating mostly for tables of two or four. We were literally the second table to ever eat in this new spot. And wow, am I glad I decided to search Yelp today for lunch. The service was super sweet, friendly, and perfect. We had a hard time deciding on what to try first (because everything sounded good and the smells from the kitchen were amazing). What we ordered: - Tom Kha Soup with Chicken Excellently flavors and just enough spice for me. My spouse loves really spicy dishes and said it would be delicious with more spiciness, but thought the broth was so good that it didn’t even need to change. We actually just wish there was an option to order a larger size, it was that good! Sometimes my spouse like to just have soup as the entree. - Green Curry with Chicken (comes with rice) Wow! Super bright and fresh taste! Smells really good and tastes even better. It was very fresh and loved all the vegetables inside (eggplant soaked up all the delicious flavor just right, baby corn- yum, etc.). - Pad Cashew Nut with Pork (comes with rice) AMAZING. Mouth-wateringly delicious. I did not want the dish to end. It was the perfect amount of flavor and freshness. Loved the cashews, the carrots, the onions, the cilantro on top. Perfect combination of sweet & salty sauce with nuttiness from the cashews, enhanced by the onion, carrot, cilantro. Since it was their first day, we enjoyed free beverages. The Thai tea was so good- you can get oat milk for $1 more. The Black Mango Iced Tea was also delicious and you get refills on it. I cannot wait to go back and eat every dish. Since it was their first hour open, we were there when the Doordash photographer came to snap pictures of all the dishes. WOW! We were eyeing the Lobster Ravioli and honestly it looks too good to miss. So we’ll probably be back later this week to try it and more. Congratulations on your opening. Thank you for bringing delicious Thai food to the area. We just moved up here from San Diego, and we’ve been having a hard time finding true Thai food and flavors. Many of the Thai places we’ve eaten up up here lack flavor or are just different because they’re fused with Laotian dishes or another type of cuisine. Finely we found a great Thai places we can walk to from the University Village apartments. See you soon!
