Anchalee Thai Cuisine    Anchalee Thai Cuisine is one of my favorite restaurants in Berkeley. My family and I frequent this place not only for the food, but also for the welcoming, peaceful ambiance.  We first stumbled upon Anchalee Thai Cuisine by chance; we were hungry and drawn in by its aesthetic appeal and the smell of good food.

Their burgers are far from simple, fast-food burgers. They use premium ingredients and unique recipes to create burgers that exceed your expectations of a typical burger. The complexity of the flavors, textures, and taste of these burgers is incredible!
