Andy & Cindy’s

OMG the chicken egg rolls are devine! The organic lemonade is spectacular! This was my first visit to this vendor, and waiting in line was well worth the fine cuisine!

Best vegetable curry I ever tasted! Vegetables absorb all the rich and sweet curry sauces. When you mix them with the brown rice, it’s heaven
It said on the menu to be medium but it’s actually really mild. But I love it! Also recommend red snapper, sesame dressing!

I had their chicken curry at the Temescal Sunday farmer’s market, and it was amazing! I was shocked to see some low reviews for this place. Their curry blew my mind. The chicken was the best chicken I’ve ever had, the sauce was great, the portions were huge. The salad was ok (I should have asked for more dressing).
It was cash only.

Andy and Cindy’s is insanely good. And they use organic ingredients and are conscientious about using only biodegradable plates and forks. I almost always get the snapper plate but I have had the chicken egg rolls and satay chicken too– totally yummy and nutritious for a great price.

Don’t eat there. The eggrolls are often burnt and the man that work there is rude and disrespectful. Find another place where the food is delicious and they know how to treat their customers!!!

This place used to be bomb, but today I was utterly disappointed. I always get the chicken curry w/​side salad and in the past the curry would have a variety of colorful veggies — pumpkin, carrot, broccolini, cauliflower, etc. They were always happy to accommodate my request — less brown rice and more salad greens. However today, the curry had only celery and cauliflower, and the guy gave me a teeny tiny portion of salad even after I asked for more greens *twice*. I also got less curry, so the rice curry mixture was dry and pretty disgusting. Will not be going back.

I had the red snapper entrée on Saturday at the Farmers’ Market and it was yummo. The brown rice seemed very high quality and organic and the fish was steamed in a banana leaf that left the fish moist and yummy. The crunchy green leaves and chopped cabbage salad with sesame dressing paired just right with the soft texture of the fish. Yummy!

I was wandering around the farmer’s market one Tuesday looking to buy lunch. I decided to give this stand a try. I ordered the chicken curry, which came out better than expected. I guess my expectations were low just because it was a food stand at a farmer’s market instead of a sit down restaurant. I haven’t tried anything else here, but given that I liked their curry, I will be back to try something else.
Curry, rice, and a side salad was $ 8. The only semi complaint is that when you order it to go, they put the rice and curry in one Chinese take out box. The way they package it, it’s meant to be eaten right away. I waited too long one time and the rice got too mushy. Thai iced tea is so tasty and pretty cheap.

This place is overrated.
I ordered the vegetarian spring rolls, which come with two helpings of a mild sauce and some yummy peanut sauce.
The spring rolls themselves taste really plain. Too plan. Two stars.
The only hint of any flavor in the spring rolls comes from the mint leaves. Otherwise, the combination of mushrooms, noodles, and whatever other vegetables inside do not produce anything resembling the taste of a 5-​star meal.
For 8 bucks, you are much better off going to La Val for three huge and delicious slices of cheese pizza.

Love love love Andy & Cindy’s! I would like to say this is my favorite thai restaurant in Berkeley. Number of thai restaurants: number of good thai restaurants ratio in Berkeley is pretty low… I would say 2%… haha Anyways, get to the point. Everything is good here! I especially like the Satay and Curry combo. You get chicken curry, vegetable curry, and chicken satay on a skewer with yummy peanut sauce, and last but not least their yellow rice (I don’t know the real name of this rice… but Andy calls it yellow haha). The curry has a very fresh yet deep flavor to it and I love the kabocha squash in their curry… I have never had any thai curry that tastes like this and I would like to say this is one of my favorite curry! Yum yum yum! (I have to say though, it is not the regular coconut based green/​red curry that you get from thai restaurants) Also, the fish in the banana leaf everyone is raving about, lives up to its name. Real soft and flavorful, melts in your mouth. I think they brew an authentic thai tea which is good also. Sitting in the sun on a beautiful Saturday afternoon having food from Andy&Cindy’s… makes me feel like life cannot be better! :D
Oh, I almost forgot! They use quality ingredients which makes their food taste even better! If you get a chance, you should definitely try the chicken spring rolls (fried)! The texture of chicken and mushroom inside a thin layer of crispy wonton rappers, oh my gosh, heaven~~~

I got the red snapper plate at the farmer’s market on Saturday, after asking what they would recommend.
It was extremely boring — the only yummy part was the tiny, flavorful lump of vegetables in the bottom of the leaf wrap. The fish was very bland; I wish it had some aroma or spice, but only the vegetables did. It comes with a tiny amount of salad (sesame dressing optional) and a huge pile of bland rice. :(
If I ordered here again, it would have to be a curry — I’m sure that would come with real flavor. The fish is terribly dull and is a waste of $ 8.50.

Yums! I was taking a stroll through the farmer’s market, hoping to just find something fresh to snack on. There weren’t too many cooked food stands, so I went to Andy and Cindy’s — not expecting too much. But whoa! Such great great flavors! I got the combo of veggie/​chicken curry with a skewer of chicken satay. Best chicken satay ever — it’s so dry at other places, but here it was incredibly tender and tasty.
The curry was rich, and nice and mildly spiced the way I like it. I also loved that they had the brown rice option — although I’m tempted to try the yellow rice next time.
They were super nice, and really taking the time to converse with their customers and be friendly and welcoming. If we can’t get a restaurant going, can we please have a food truck? So we can follow you guys every day? Can’t wait for Saturday to get here… so I can grab some more deliciousness!

It was a Saturday bright afternoon when my friends and I decided to hit the Berkeley Farmers’ Market for the first time. I’ve been anticipating the visit to Andy and Cindy’s Thai Cuisine food stand for quite a while now. So I was quite delighted to see that upon entering the market, it was the 2^nd stand that I saw! The location of this truck is placed delightfully by the entrance on Marten Luther King.
There was a long looong line stretching from one side of the market to an opposite booth. However, the wait was only about 5 – 10 mins which isn’t that bad for the quality of food that was being served. The wait was even shorter seeing and conversing with the nice Berkeleyans visiting the Farmers’ Market that afternoon also. We all eye-​groped the food that passerbys were walking around with.
I got the much-​recommended Red Snapper. You know it’s good when anywhere you walk, people working at stands and people buying from them ask where your food is from or if they KNOW it’s Andy and Cindy’s. The fish… AMAZINGGGG, super moist, super flavorful, super warm, super aromatic, super super super. The presentation was nice also, being from a street vendor and all. The fish was steam wrapped in a banana leaf strategically arranged to make small bowl keeping the fish moist. There’s a nice surprise underneath the fish of succulent squash and zucchini slices. It is nicely plated with some rice (awesome local brown rice or yellow curry rice made on the spot) and a small salad with a nice sesame oil dressing.
Quite quite filling. For 8.50 bucks of glorious healthy heaven, so worth it, heyyyy :)

LOVE this place!!! Best veggie egg roll EV ER and the satay is the stuff that dreams are made of. And that’s not all, the best part is that it’s all organic and mostly local! Plus the people are so cool and helpful.
My favorite Thai food and my dinner every Tuesday night

Yum.
Andy and Cindy’s Thai truck at the Berkeley Farmer’s market is one of the reasons I love Saturdays. Steamed snapper in banana leaf, eaten out doors. It’s always delicious. My vegetarian daughter loves the veggie curry. The thai iced tea is tasty, too, strong and freshly brewed, not made from concentrate.
These people are very nice, too.

The fresh summer rolls keep me coming back! ~$ 7 for 2.
Packed full of delicious fresh vegetables and served with sweet chili and peanut dipping sauces, they only have the rolls April-​October but they have a melt-​in-​your-​mouth red snapper all year round. They are at the Grand Lake farmer’s market on Saturdays near the giant inflatable kids’ corner.

Hungry at the farmers market? Cindy/​Andy Thai food is where it’s at!
All their meat and fish dishes are organic or free range
(something that’s actually hard to find at the market). And if you’ve ever had their snapper with Thai curry in a banana leaf, it’s to DIE FOR!!! Wash it down with Thai ice tea and fresh hand-​rolled Lumpia rolls. And Cindy and Andy, the owners, care as much about making food as they care about their customers! It shows.
I track them down at the Tuesday or Saturday farmers market in Berkeley, or the Temescal farmers market on Sunday. Definitely my first pick for hot nourishing food at the market.

Meh. My $ 8 pale of Veggie Curry was nothing exciting and mostly consisted of sauce, rice and salad greens. the veggies were all over cooked and there was only once piece of tofu. Nothing was very hot.
I did LOVE the salad dressing as well as the strips of mango on the salad.

This is one of the booths available at Berkeley’s Farmer’s Market (Sat & Tue only).
My friends ordered the steamed red snapper with basmati rice & carrot salad for $ 7.50, free-​range chicken curry with basmati rice plus veggies, and the chicken satay (2 skewers) with peanut sauce, basmati rice & carrot salad, both at $ 7 each. Their plates looked good. And they all told me that their food tasted good too.
I’ve tried the chicken satay in the past, so this time I ordered the soy protein (also available w/​chicken) egg rolls for $ 4.50, and the Thai ice tea for $ 2. The egg rolls were good, the Thai ice tea was slightly sweeter than normal but still okay. In general the food is good and consistent, so it’s worth a return trip.
CASH only.
