    Curry chicken, noodle fish, salad rolls, fried tofu, egg rolls,
    Lisa M.

    Delish. Do nice to see this old building looking so lovely My daughter really enjoyed her birthday dinner here. She had yellow curry chicken and declared it the best ever! Made two full meals for her. Hubby n I are the vegetarians and we also loved our meals. Pan fried noodle w veg the hubbs got eas nice. Could use a few more veggies. I went to appetizer land. Salad rolls which I didn't notice had shrimp in allergic to, and they didn't mind switching them right out. Crisp egg rolls and and fried tofu (which wAs very different than the tofu in my husbands noodle dish bravo on that!) I shared were nicely done. And the sauces . . . because let's be honest sauces are everything, were very nice and not the usual pedestrian stuff. They care about food here. And honored our beloved vegetables. The service was quiet and pleasant. Every table here looks like it's a best table.

    Spicy eggplant
    sarah b.

    The flavors are a cut above. The best Thai in Petaluma. We loved the spicy eggplant and the larb. The "mild" was definitely spicy enough. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable-- you are dining in an old house, but in a good way. Because there are a couple different rooms, it took a while for the waitstaff to wander over and see us. But we were good with a laid-back meal.

    Everything was very delicious! Cute dining place. Lots of patron. Food was served fast and everything we ordered was superb! Highly recommend this place when you're in the area.

    Tom Yum soup
    Nancy C.

    This Thai restaurant is wonderful. I read reviews here and decided I had to give a try. Oh my goodness. I only ordered a small Tom Yum soup and was very happy with my choice. I also ordered a Tom Kha to go for tomorrow. Cute place inside an old Victorian house. Dining rooms split up but it works nicely. The menu is limited but clearly has all the most popular dishes. Next time I want to try their Pad Thai. I'm pretty picky about my Pad Thai but wanted soup tonight. The soup is so flavorful. Loaded with chicken, onions and mushrooms. I'd have been happy with less than half the chicken. But very happy regardless. The disclaimer on the menu caused me to be mindful of the level of heat. lol So I ordered mild. Then I added chili oil. Haha. I'm a lightweight but could have easily ordered mild on the soup. The staff is very kind, friendly and engaging if you like not if you prefer not. Can hardly wait until next time.

    Most excellent service. The food was exceptional. Such a charming interior. Very enjoyable!

    Special curry
    Jenny X.

    Came here after a long afternoon of paintballing and it was such a memorable experience! Good: - Super cute ambiance - there's a stuffed bear on the wall and heart origami, how much better could it get? - The staff are incredibly nice - The khao soi was really good, good balance of sweet and savory, and the special curry with sticky rice blew my mind. Felt healthy too - Good value for your money! Good portion sizes Bad: - Food does take a little bit to come out (15 min or so) but it's not a super bad wait Overall this was a super great experience and would come again.

    Pra Ram and the most delightful note.
    Jess M.

    Best Thai spot in town (coming from someone who grew up in a city with endless authentic Thai restaurants-yay diversity!) Can't go wrong ordering the Pra Ram and the curry here. They also know how to win customers over with their cute doodles. My daughter loves ordering from here for this reason.

    Spicy Basil Fried Rice with seafood.
    Bill G.

    Walking in didn't know what to expect being in a remodeled 1900's home. Our server greeted us immediately and sat us in the window in front. Ordered the lab with chicken which was excellent and the spicy basil fried rice. We ordered both dishes spicy, which was the second most spicy and was plenty for me but I could see it being too much for most. Also ordered Thai ice coffee, I think it was $7. Well worth it as it was delivered in a beer pint glass, not a small cup as with most other places. We will definitely be back!

    Pad kra pow basil
    Caitlin T.

    Absolutely loved our visit to Chan Chao. The ambiance is so charming. Like you're in someone's home. The service made you feel that way, too. They were so grateful to have us there, though we walked right in at 1100 when they opened. We ordered the chicken pad see ew you and the pad krapow for entrees. And the fried spring rolls for an appetizer. 10/10 for flavor and spice. The pad see ew was perfectly balanced - sweet and spicy. 10/10 for portion size. 10/10 for freshness. 10/10 for temperature (this is important to me!) So so happy we opted for this place. Cannot wait to return! An all-around quality experience. Thank you, Chan Chao!

    Do they serve wine or beer?

    I know that my wife ordered coffee and I ordered Thai iced tea and there was no alcohol listed on the Beverage list. But I didn’t ask if they also served beer/wine. I’m sorry not to have the complete answer.

I'm more a spicy person v spicy/ sweet flavor. The chicken Sandwhich also was a bit sweet. However the fries are really good. I just wish the spicy sauce was actually spicy with no sweet. I will say I am looking to come back to try their bulgogi fries. They looked pretty good. Service was quick, staff were friendly. There is an option to basically order on a screen but i choose to order with the worker. He was nice and let us browse before ordering. The place is clean, and has a few tables.

Located on Lakeville Highway, just east of Hwy 101, it would make a good place to stop for a nice lunch or dinner. I was there on a warm Saturday, at around 11:30 am. The dining room has a contemporary asian decor. The AC kept the air cool and comfortable. There's several 2,4, and 6 seat tables. Just before lunchtime, the place was 1/3 full with customers. I was seated along the wall. I was offered a menu, and choice of hot tea or ice water. I asked for chopsticks, because the place setting had a fork. I ordered the Mongolian Beef lunch plate w/ fried rice. Also, I asked for an order of (Lightly Breaded) Fried Prawns. Service was excellent. My waiter was very attentive, and served my food as soon as it was ready. He told me if there were any delays. I didn't have to ask for anything. The Fried Prawns were large and plump. They were served with various sauces to choose from. The Mongolian Beef lunch plate had a nice presentation. The portion size was fair. The fried rice was moist, and blended well with the Mongolian Beef. The Mongolian Beef was spicy and tasted just right. Hot 'n Sour soup came with the lunch plate. Lily Kai's recipe for hot 'n sour soup is a little different than what you might get in most other chinese restaurants. They make it with alot of mushrooms. The familiar flavor was there, but it lacked several expected ingredients. Well, as long as it tasted good, I'm okay with it. ----------------------------------------------- So I had a great first time experience here. The plaza has a free shared parking lot. There's a Starbucks Coffee shop in the same plaza. Also, this place is down the street from the Kaiser Medical Offices. Also, they have clean and large restrooms.

I ordered the large size bowl and chose beef and chicken teriyaki as my protein options, along with white rice and stir fry vegetables to go. I sat down and not even 4 minutes later, Rafaella brought me over my food and I was out the door. The total was $20.53 which isn't too bad considering I'm eating a fairly healthy meal. The taste and quality was great and I'll happily admit that I'd rather spend my money here over another large fast food franchise that does teriyaki bowls in the area. The foods great, tons of seating and there is a soft drink station for refills. I'll definitely be back.

The palata was a great starter -- flaky, warm, and exactly what you'd want. The miso black cod was another standout. The broth it was simmered in was incredibly flavorful, and the fish was perfectly cooked. The garlic noodles were also done really well with the right noodles and great flavor -- honestly better than some places known specifically for garlic noodles. And of course, the coconut rice is always worth ordering. We skipped dessert since nothing really stood out, but I would love to see them add more traditional Burmese desserts like faluda in the future. Parking wasn't too difficult, especially if you circle around the back neighborhood area. The wait was reasonable, the outdoor patio seating was nice, and the service was attentive throughout the meal. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when craving Burmese food.
