Located in the historic Grand Lake District, Oakland, Neecha Thai is a blend of three generations of Thai culinary. We are conveniently located off the I-580 freeway, near Lake Merritt. From old-time favorites to new creations, our menu is designed for modern day healthy eating. Our recipe is focused on balance, flavors, freshness, and uniqueness. We do not use any added MSG.
We invite you to savor a distinctive home-style Thai fare like no others. From traditional favorites like Pad Thai, Pad Se-ew, Kao Soi, to unique vegetarian creations, every dish is conscientiously prepared with healthy balance in mind. We thrive to serve you the freshest and highest quality ingredients.
Neecha Thai Cuisine was established in 1988 in San Francisco, before moving across the bay to our eclectic Oakland location in the early 2000s.
