Got the green curry with tofu. They confirmed it had no fish or dairy. Also got the mango sticky rice, confirmed coconut no dairy. Everything was delicious!

I used to frequent this place when I lived in the Bay Area, so when I have the chance to go back, I took my friends here. We waited over 40 min for 3 people on a Friday night. Unfortunately, most of our dishes fell flat – it was on the bland side and nothing spectacular. Even the sampler dish was just ok – nam kaow rice was not crispy enough nor was it well seasoned. The only dish we enjoyed was the wonton soup , which is the most flavorful. For comparison, Night and Song market in LA, or Sticky Rice Lao street food in Orlando, FL, blows this place out of the water. It definitely does not deserve the recognition it deserves. Or perhaps its quality has changed since I visited over 10 years ago. However, we did randomly run into an old friend we haven’t seen in 25 years here, so that was super cool.

Was looking for a comforting meal around ~20 drive from Berkeley and didn’t want to spend more than $20. This homey neighborhood spot fit the bill exactly! Service was very friendly and fast. Food was delicious and well priced. The side of rice was perfectly portioned. Also had a nice array of sauces and condiments for those who like a little spice. Was delighted to see tamarind mix and pickled Serranos! We got the yellow curry and the pad see ew as well as the calamari. I would recommend eating the calamari first because it’s not as good when it’s cold. Also I got an empty calamari but it was prob a mistake. My one complaint was the soy sauce; I have a sneaking suspicion it was watered down, but then again my taste buds are particularly attuned to soy sauce quality.

Nestled in a highly residential neighborhood in Oakland, Champa Garden is a great local spot with friendly service, great food, and reasonable prices.
The place has very homey decor and vibes, and the staff is very attentive and good at making you feel at home.
Each of the items we ordered was great. The iced tea was among the most flavorful I’ve had. The basil fried rice is a staple. The spring rolls are fun to wrap and eat. The fish was brilliantly seasoned.
Can’t wait to go back!

Pad Thai was pretty good, and big portion. Green curry was excellent. Thai iced tea also good, and they even put less ice when asked. Mango sticky rice just okay. Rice was a little dense, but coconut sauce is flavorful, and mangoes were rice. Friendly service

I love to take out of town visitors to Champa Garden. A trip here is a trip off the beaten path, away from the trendy parts of town, a trip to East Oakland, out of a lot of people’s comfort zones. What kind of cuisine is it?? Is it Thai? Is it Lao? Is it Tai Lue? It’s all of the above — a cultural hodgepodge, hard to pigeonhole like the City itself. To further extend the metaphor, like Oakland, the flavors of Champa Garden are funky & fresh!
The tables are covered in condiments inviting you to further customize these mashed up dishes. I haven’t had anything I didn’t like here. But don’t miss the rice ball salad, or the Lao sausage. My son swears by their fried rice. Come take a trip to the avenues, be patient if you arrive at 7pm, over order (it’s not expensive), and bring a few friends.

Staff were kind and very happy to explain everything on the menu. Pad Thai was a bit too sweet for my liking, but the salads, platter, and curry was nice! Thai tea was authentic and well-spiced, although not for those who don’t have a sweet tooth. Our company also recommended the mango sticky rice!

We purchased the Basil Fried Rice, with beef, Pumpkin Curry with chicken, and the House Special which is fried catfish with eggplant, basil, and bell pepper in their house special sauce. Everything was delicious, and the service exceptional. Our water glasses we’re not allowed to be empty. The dining room is simple. The only things I would’ve wanted different is for the Pumpkin to be a bit softer in the curry, and the beef softer and seasoned in the rice, but everything was still good, prices reasonable, and when I’m in Oakland I would definitely visit again.

Review is for takeout via GrubHub. 5/5, they had the order ready early and handled several orders perfectly.
They’re very nut allergy friendly for a Thai restaurant! I added notes to my order and everything turned out fine.
Pad See-Ew (Duck) (4/5): The noodles and vegetables were very tasty, but there was very little duck in the dish.
Fried Wrapped Spring Roll (3/5): I could see this being very good in person, but in a to-go order it gets too soggy. I love that they serve it with vegetables and vermicelli to make small wraps.
Larp Salad (4/5): Very tasty for a “salad”. The lime adds a nice kick and the portions are very sharable.
Lue’s Noodle Soup (4/5): Nice kick to this, the noodles were very tasty in the soup. We added beansprouts for some extra texture.
Overall, my advice is to try to be on time because I can imagine that their dishes are delicious fresh, but the fried dishes don’t travel too well.

Hands down, the best flavors you’ll ever have. The Curry’s are amazing and I come here every chance I get.

The duck curry with eggplant is mouthwatering, the pad se-ew is perfection, sticky rice is great and the Thai tea is magical. I have been coming here for years, with my family, and on solo dinner dates with myself. This is the go to place for flavorful Thai food in Oakland.
Not to mention the space is beautifully decorated, clean and welcoming atmosphere.
Shout out to the kitchen chefs and the great service from the servers.
I’m a forever customer :0)

Returned two weeks in a row, ordered the pumpkin curry, pad Thai, brown rice, and a Thai tea. Will say that the flavors were more potent with last weeks visit, but still good.
