Cha-Am

Author: kris, Category: Berkeley, Food

I have to say, if you’re looking for the perfect dinner in Berkely, Cha-Am is probably the spot for you. This is a Thai restaurant with the rare quality (rare in any kind of restaurant) of being perfect for just about any situation. You can take a group here and order a bunch of stuff to share (and you’ll want to share — it’s all excellent), and it’s casual and comfortable and quiet enough that you can all hear each other but no so quiet you feel weird laughing loudly. Or you can take a date here: it’s lit by tons of little twinkling lights and has a patio and is just kind of funky and interesting, architecturally speaking. It can be the perfect romantic anniversary date, or the perfect semi-romantic semi-casual first date. Plus, you can get a glass of house wine for $2.50, which is all you really need to lubricate any sticky eating situation.
