Rose Garden Uptown is a Laotian & Thai restaurant, featuring many dishes common to that region but also Californian ingredients. They offer table service, but the most business was to-go orders while we dined.
From that interior, you can view their mix of modern-day Instagram aesthetics and architecture with more traditional decorated woven trays on the walls and pictures of the menu items that’s nostalgic of many older Asian restaurants: an appealing combination of new and old to me, just like the menu and ingredients. And the pretty sharing plates also brightened my mood.
We started with the Laotian spring rolls, filled with avocado, carrots, rice noodles, and lettuce. The two sauces—one peanut and one mildly sweet and spicy—provided the most flavor for the dish.
Next came the sweet corn salad with carrots, tomatoes, peanuts, green beans, garlic, lime juice, and a mild chili. I love corn, so I expected to love this dish … and I did! Typically, I go for “hot” when asked for a spice level choice, but my friend was right to go with mild here. That added just enough of a kick to complement the corn’s sweetness. The ingredients had a satisfying variety of flavors, textures, and crunch.
We aimed for Rose Garden Uptown’s Laotian specialties for our second dish, settling on the mok pa. That’s catfish steamed in a banana leaf with herbs. It was my first mok pa, and I did not know if I was supposed to treat the lettuce as lettuce wraps, so I went ahead and did so. I scooped catfish into the small leaves, added cilantro and onions, and really enjoyed those flavors and textures all together. The catfish was soft and soothing, and the herbs cooked with it imparted a wonderful freshness. I will definitely order mok pa again.
Would love to try one of their four types of laab another time!

Homey restaurant with delicious food. We ordered the curry roti (yellow curry), pad Thai, and guay tiew kua gai. I like their flat noodles a lot so I’ll probably try their pad see ew or pad kee mao next time. The pad Thai was ok for me, won’t be getting it again. The yellow curry was flavorful and went well with roti. Their thai tea is refreshing and tastes really good. Affordable prices!
Went back a couple more times and got to try their panang curry, pad se ew, and combination fried rice. Love their panang curry and combination fried rice. I definitely needed the pad se ew to be spicy.

Food was delicious. Service initially was started by a lady who barely understood anything. Then the man came outside and he was more knowledgeable. Ambience was good but the seats are really hard. They are wooden chairs. If you have a sensitive behind, it can actually cause severe pain. My husband was trying to order egg noodles since he’s allergic to rice. They have egg noodles on the menu, but he said they don’t have. That is why the four stars. Every noodle they had was rice based. They need to have a different option for people with allergies
if not, do not have it in the menu.

Super flavorful! Combination of Laotian and Thai dishes. Went for a weekday dinner. Easy to spot, corner restaurant. Ordered the Tilapia which was deliciously crispy and boneless served in a sweet and sour sauce. Also ordered the Basil Chicken which was bursting with delicious flavors. They ask you the level of spice with your order, which is a good thing. Service was excellent and efficient. The staff is so friendly and it was cool interacting with them. The prices are just right and the portions are very generous. They’re open everyday for lunch and dinner. I encourage you to try their Laotian dishes. If you visit during their first month (August 2024), you get 20% off. Definitely will come back to dine in and take out.

We discovered this place two or three weeks ago, and have now ordered from them 4 times. We LOVE the depth and complexity in the flavors, while also being very balanced.
I’ve had the Kao Poon, Massaman Curry (my current obession), Green Curry, Pad Thai, and Pad Kee Mao, and all have been winners. This has quickly become my favorite Thai place in Oakland, even beating out Pintoh and Attraros.

I just had an amazing lunch here. I got the house-made Lao-style sausage (Sai Oua) which was just delicious and a chicken/eggplant dish which was also great. Eggplant was nice and soft, while the chicken was tender and not overcooked. Big portions. Really friendly staff. Highly recommend! I’m hoping they do well and stick around….

I’m so glad we finally have a Lao/Thai restaurant in this neck of Oakland. I visited Rose Garden Uptown the other day with a friend and the food was so fresh and delicious. They have a lot of healthy/light options too such as salads and soup. I’ll definitely be visiting again!

Glad to have a Laotian thai place in the neighborhood that offers some of my fav dishes like Nam kao, Lao papaya salad, yum woon sen, and more. Great flavors and decent prices for large portions! Their Lao iced tea was probably one of the best Thai teas I’ve had in the area without being overly sweet. Hoping they’ll add some noodle soups on the menu soon
