Little Plearn (Shattuck location) is a mom-and-pop hole in the wall. We are family of the original Plearn and keep serving authentic Thai food for 30 years! Did you know, Plearn has been a name in Berkeley for over 30 years? She opened a small little hole in the wall joint on University Avenue in 1982. Shortly after a few years, she realized she needed more room and moved down the street to a larger location right next door to the UC theaters. Finally retiring, she has left her mark on many customers and mentored many in those years. Since 2000, Little Plearn Thai Kitchen on Shattuck Ave, has continued the Plearn name with her recipes and influences.Occasionally Plearn, herself will show up to check things out and keeps the Kitchen on track. Her favorite curries and taste have not changed in years. Little Plearn Thai kitchen still continues to make curries from scratch, soups are made to order and salad dressings are from a bottle.

Flavor (5/5): Not a lot of places do pumpkin curry and it's an absolute favorite of mine. When I saw they had it on their menu I had to order it, and it hit every craving I had for it. It was...
