The Noodle: Downtown Berkeley's small, fast, and casual take on yummy Thai food

Image
The Noodle The Noodle is one of Berkeley's hidden gems nestled into the downtown area serving lunch and dinner every day of the week except for Monday. A small, casual and down-to-earth Thai eatery that make flavor-packed food at a snappy pace, this is the place to go when you are hungry and craving an exotic yet still homey and comforting plate of Thai food.     The lunch and dinner menu is extensive; you will find a variety of salads, soups, stir-fries, appetizers, and noodle dishes, all created in their signature authentic Thai style.

After you order, you can take a seat at one of the simple tables or the stripped-down bar that overlooks Downtown Berkeley.

There are some nice tiles and a logo o...
