    Ginger tofu and veggies
    Jennifer N.

    I came here after a nearby hike and arrived around 5. Downtown Calistoga was quieting down for the day, so street parking nearby was easy to find. The ambiance is clean and simple with touches of Thai themed art. Service was friendly and attentive. Ordered the avocado roll as an appetizer which was light and fresh. For entry I got the ginger veggies and tofu with a side of brown rice. This dish was excellent. Very generous portion with loads of colorful sliced veggies. Presentation on all dishes was also a step up with their carrot "flowers." It was a really nice meal, albeit pricey. They also have a surcharge for using a credit card, which stacks on when you're already paying $19 for an entree. That didn't sit right with me but I still enjoyed my meal and the experience. Overall, a great, satisfying and flavorful choice after a long day of hiking.

    Vegetable soup
    Paula W.

    Was looking for for healthy vegetarian options when we came across Calistoga Thai Kitchen. The restaurant is very spacious with lots of seating. We did not have to wait to be seated, Our server was very friendly and immediately brought us water and a menu. We knew what we wanted as we read their menu from the outside and ordered almost immediately. Our food arrived promptly. My husband ordered the vegetable soup, which I also tried and enjoy. We ordered the green tofu curry with rice and that was very tasty. Overall a very nice meal at a great price. Note, if you pay cash the pricing is slightly less. Parking is available directly in front of the restaurant.

    The Pad Thai dish was delicious.

    It was Christmas Day and I was in search for an open Chinese restaurant in my quest to continue an ongoing tradition I've been doing for years in reflection of my love of the movie "A Christmas Story." If you know, you know. So I digress and on this holy day, the whole Napa Valley has taken the day off, but I found this gem of a restaurant open. I'm flexible so as my Chinese restaurant substitute, I went here, had no choice. I'd never been here, but a Thai friend once told me that if you want a glimpse of a new-to-you Thai restaurant, start with Pad Thai as it's their national dish and it'd be a good indication for the rest of the menu. In remembering that little pearl of wisdom, that's exactly what I did, an order of Pad Thai and I was pleasantly pleased. Pad Thai isn't created equally, some are overly flavorful that it's overwhelming and others, bland as cardboard. For me at least, this one order was perfection, the midpoint between too flavorful and cardboard. I was solo so I had the disadvantage of ordering one dish, but there were other tables that had a variety and the looked great, but in reading how others were enjoying their meal, it appeared convincing it was a hit with others. In summary, I give these folks thumbs up and perhaps my only other observation is that they're a bit overpriced, but then again, you're Napa Valley in Calistoga where things are expectedly premiumly priced.

    A little pricey, but the food was excellent!!! I had Tom Kha soup, and would definitely recommend. Great ambiance.

    Vegetarian dishes

    Visiting the Calistoga area and decided to give this Thai place a try. When we entered the restaurant it was completely empty, but soon 5 other parties had joined us. The restaurant windows were open providing a very nice breeze into the restaurant. The waitress was very accommodating to our vegetarian requests, ensuring there was no fish or oyster sauce in any of the dishes. We first started with the avocado spring rolls - very tasty and fresh. We then ordered a variety of dishes to share: pineapple fried rice, basil fried rice, basil chicken (substitute the chicken for veggies and eggplant), pad kee mao, and cashew nut curry. My favorite was the basil fried rice and the cashew nut. The sauces on the dishes could've been stronger. And the spice more, but maybe this place is catered towards the surrounding community. Overall, we enjoyed a tasty and fulfilling meal. If you're in the area, be sure to try it out.

    My boyfriend and I ate here before the Calistoga tractor parade and I'm so glad we did because we really enjoyed both the service and the food. The ambience inside is really nice and the staff is very helpful and friendly, we both enjoyed our dishes and really liked the skewers!

    Avocado Rolls
    Amadeo D.

    Food was delicious, service was fast, and the restaurant was clean and well lit. Tried the Chicken Panang Curry and was pleasantly surprised to see it came with broccoli, which is one of my favorite veggies. The veggies were steamed soft, but still had a little bite to them, and the curry sauce was served on top. A nice preparation technique that differs from what I'm used to. Loved it. Avocado rolls were light and delicious. The papaya salad was tangy and crispy. Excellent all around.

    3-26-22 We drove from Sacramento to our first stop, Old Faithful Geyser. By the time the geyser finally spewed sky high it was lunch time. Once you're close to Calistoga it's a short drive as the town is more compact than St. Helena. We found parking on the main thoroughfare called Lincoln Avenue. We started walking down the right side of the street and came upon this restaurant. It's quite large and decorated with very beautiful artwork. Both our cells had maxed out with no battery so we chose a table by the front door sharing the same outlet as their lit Open light. We needed it to find our hotel later. Each dish we ordered was incredibly delicious. Thai food is my favorite and the flavor created by their chef was remarkably outstanding. The restaurant has large open windows affording their customers people watching activities: the comings and goings of the sidewalk and across the street. Many people brought their pedigreed pooches. One guy on a scooter ate it right in front of our table- he let out a yell and fortunately he had a helmet on cuz his head hit the cement. A large well dressed woman offered her hand and pulled him up. What a nice introduction to our 2-1/2 day visit in Calistoga.

    This place has an open window seating. We enjoyed sitting inside, in the shade but felt like we were outside while dining. They delivered fast authentic food on our way through town. Our server was nice and the place was clean. We grabbed crab wontons, chicken satay and calamari apps. The sauces were pretty tasty but my favorite was the peanut sauce. Good eats. I would like to try their curries next time we are in town!

Unfortunately, this visit was a completely different experience. When we arrived, there was only one occupied table with four customers. A woman greeted us, and later we realized she was essentially running the entire front of the restaurant by herself, with only the dishwasher helping as a waiter. While I understand staffing challenges happen, the lack of service was obvious. We waited quite a while before our order was taken. When the server finally came to our table, she informed us that dishes with beef and shrimp would cost extra because those ingredients were expensive. After ordering, we waited more than 30 minutes for our food despite the restaurant not being busy. The biggest disappointment was my son's favorite dish, Pad See Ew. The plate arrived cold, contained very few noodles, and cost over $22. The rest of the food was mediocre at best and nowhere near the quality we remembered from previous visits. The server appeared overwhelmed, constantly rushing between tables, phone orders, and incoming customers. At one point, customers even walked out because they weren't being helped. To make matters worse, we were charged an additional fee for using a credit card. Overall, we paid premium prices for poor service and disappointing food. This was supposed to be a special Father's Day meal, but it ended up being a frustrating experience. Sadly, we won't be returning.

I love the attention to detail. They gave us free champagne for the celebration, and put celebratory words on their desserts. We were so full at the end of our meal, I probably will go with 3 courses instead of 4 next time to not stuff myself silly. After our meal, we walked around the garden area next to the parking lots, and then visited the other building where the student bakery was. I bought some pastries to take home to my husband and kids. We tried few different tarts and they were all delicious! I highly recommend checking out the student bakery if they are open. One credit card tip that you may find useful: this place did not count as a restaurant so I didn't get my bonus Chase cashback (5% category that month instead of regular 1%). I was a little disappointed there because I like maximizing my cashback. I would use my other credit card for 3% cashback next time! It showed up as "charitable and social service organizations" on my CC transactions. I will definitely go back! It's such a good deal for a nice meal.
