    Beef fried rice
    Rand E.

    Great thai in town! Unusual fare for unexpected surprises like the pork belly pad thai, soft shell crab mango salad and duck pumpkin curry. All delicious! Will happily come back.

    Khao Soi
    Sam F.

    What a surprisingly delicious find in Santa Rosa! My partner and I stumbled upon this restaurant on our way out to Calistoga for the day and are so grateful we did. Coming from San Francisco, where Thai and Japanese restaurants are already vast in quantity and tremendously high in quality, we didn't know what to expect. We also tend to be skeptical of restaurants that combine different Asian cuisines under one roof, but we were really craving Thai food and willing to take the risk. I can honestly say our expectations were not only met, but greatly exceeded. This is truly a place worth visiting if you live in the area! We ordered Thai tea, chicken khao soi, and crispy pork belly sweet basil. Everything was so tasty! The chicken khao soi may have been my favorite of all the khao soi I've ever tried. The tender chicken fell off the bone without any nudging, the fresh herbs and lime were plentiful and juicy, and the portion size was reasonable. My only wish was that they offered an option to swap for crispy chicken like a lot of places in San Francisco do. The crispy pork belly sweet basil had more flavor packed per bite than most dishes I've eaten over the last few weeks. We also appreciated the perfect ratio between meat and vegetables! While I can't speak for the Japanese food offered here, the Thai food made for a fantastic lunch that unquestionably matched the caliber of some of the better Thai restaurants in San Francisco. Paired with the warmth of our waitress and the cute, homey atmosphere, I'd love to return!

    Spicy Salmon Hand Roll
    Drea U.

    Finally, found my favorite Thai restaurant in Santa Rosa. Today was my first time here and I ordered peanut bomb noodles ($15) and a spicy salmon hand roll ($6) (they have sushi Wednesday-Sunday). Their Thai food is definitely their speciality! Portions are BIG, service is amazing, and the interior is clean. The flavor of the noodles was a 10/10, it was light and flavorful. I usually get pad thai but I wanted to try a different one today. I'll definitely come back to try more of their noodles and the soups. I walked out with my meal only being $24 (+ tip), what a steal. If you're looking for a new Thai place, you need to give them a shot. You don't be disappointed!

    Pad Thai with Chicken and Tofu
    Lee-duh M.

    My first time being here and I absolutely loved it. Me and my husband came here for lunch. When we walked in, the place was full. We waited about 5/10 mins to be seated. There is only 1 server and 1 chef so if you are expecting fast service, this isnt the place for you. But this is my kind of place. The food was so delicious. We ordered spicy edamame and their fried chicken wings, both yummy! The chicken was perfectly crispy. My husband got the Khao Soi with chicken. It was delicious and a big serving. I ordered Pad Thai with chicken and tofu. Also delicious. It was a lot of food but I was determined and ordered some mango with sticky rice. We were there for about 1 1/2 hours. The service was great, they were both friendly and professional. You can see they work hard on their service and food. This is now our new thai spot :)

    Green curry with white rice

    This place is always so yummy! They are also very friendly and the service is always great. Seriously slept on location you need to try! It's very authentic and the ambiance is cozy.

    Lobster tail noodles

    Delicious dishes! Great service, very clean restaurant. We will definitely return again and again when we're driving on the 101!

    Won ton soup... so flavorful!
    Marisol N.

    Delicious food and great service! This small Thai spot really delivered on flavor--everything we ordered was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and clearly made with care. The space is on the smaller side, and they seemed a bit understaffed, but that didn't take away from the experience. We sat at the bar and were pleasantly surprised by how attentive and kind the staff was despite the busy atmosphere. It felt like they were doing everything they could to make guests feel welcome and taken care of. Definitely planning to come back--great food, warm service, and a cozy spot worth supporting. Let me know if you'd like to include specific dishes or customize the tone!

    Beef short rib Khao Soi. Meat falls off the bone. And the chopsticks are floating in the noodles!

    This is the best Khao Soi outside of Thailand! We are so lucky to have it in Santa Rosa. If you've never had it, try it here, you'll be spoiled. It's everything there is to love about Thai food in one bowl. Plus generous portion, great atmosphere, fancy noodle art and meat that falls off the bone. It feels like this food is made with love. Super chill atmosphere, really nice and attentive staff, and food that pleases a world traveler's palette.

    Tom kha hot pot with noodles, tofu, veggies
    Teri K.

    How exciting, another new local Thai eatery! We stopped in on a Monday for lunch. We were greeted very politely by the sweet host at the front and seated right away. We are always eager to try khao soi if it's on the menu and to our delight, it was! We ordered it with pork spare rib. The khao soi broth is thicker than others we have had but it has the taste of the traditional Northern style Thai soup dish. We also ordered the tom kha hot pot with tofu and noodles. The flavors of both dishes are pleasing. I truly enjoyed my tom kha soup and loved all the veggies. The broth was seasoned exactly how I like it. I had a sip of the khao soi and it is delicious but a bit too spicy for me. I love khao soi and asked if they could hold off adding the chili oil if I was to order it next time and she said it can be served on the side. So now I am looking forward to our next visit. They have an extensive menu with appetizers, curries, wok dishes, pan fried noodles, ramen, fried rice, soups, teriyaki, and whole fish dishes. The inside dining area is bright and clean. Our host/server was extremely polite and checked on us several times. They currently have the restaurant decorated for Valentine's Day. Give them a try! Conveniently located a few doors to the right of Whole Foods.

    Calamari with a nice presentation
    Erwin B.

    Delicious food. Good presentation. Great service attentive. Lots of parking. They have a private parking and street parking.

    The house special Khao Soy!
    Scott M.

    Recently had the opportunity to try the khao soy at Khao Soy! Dropped in on a weeknight and the atmosphere was was lively. Many of the tables were were filled. The atmosphere is nice - perhaps a little bright.. I was with two other friends, and we tried a variety of dishes, including the khao soy,, pumpkin curry, and the Tom kha noodle soup. Everyone enjoyed the dishes that they ordered, and they were delivered piping hot from the kitchen and extremely flavorful. A couple of us ordered their dishes spicy, and they came out relatively spicy, though not "Thai hot" as stated , but overall very good and enjoyable. they did bring us several types of hot sauce to add to our dishes though so we were able to dial them up to our taste. Overall, a great intro to a new restaurant! If you're a fan of Thai soups and noodles this place should definitely be on your list to check out soon!

    Yakisoba noodles with pork
    Luciente G.

    Had to check out this new spot in the neighborhood. Mom and I came in on a Monday night and we were the third party there, by the time we left it seemed every table was full. The one server was pretty busy but was he was managing it all well. I got the signature Khao Soi with chicken and it was delicious! Creamy, tangy and just a lil bit of spice. The chicken was flavorful and tender too. My mom had the yakisoba and it was very tasty. The noodles and sauce were very yummy. People were also coming in to pick up orders. We were happy to see this little spot doing so well so quickly. Tov Tofu was yummy but never seemed this busy so hopefully this restaurant has staying power. The renovation looked very nice and makes so much sense to have a counter at the front.

Five of us finished our dinner and our friend still did not receive his order. Two other mishaps to report: our choice of wine was out of stock. I was given an opportunity to sample my second choice, only to taste a badly turned sample of wine. I ordered Drunken Noodle and they were just adequate. A 3 out of 10 for flavor. Something definitely seemed amiss. Was it just that night or had the restaurant change into less capable hands. Our whole party was very underwhelmed.

We ordered 3/4 of the menu items and were super impressed with every item from presentation to layered flavors.

The most impressive dish was the rock fish - it is a full size fish with herb and lime garnishes; the fish was fresh and delicious. My favorite dish was actually the tofu salad - the tofu is actually silken soft on the inside as promised - and surrounded by lots of fresh herbs and citrus. The drunken noodles also stood out as non-typical with excellent wok heat to give it a deep umami flavor. Service was casual and non-intrusive but also very friendly and attentive. I appreciated the proactive extra napkins for our dish and was impressed by how they handled a huge pain in the butt customer sitting next to us who literally complained about every single dish. They patiently took her complaints and offered her alternatives while I admittedly wondered why the customer even bothered to eat a Thai restaurant at all, I felt bad for the staff but they handled it so professionally.

They were almost like a deconstructed dumpling with noodle sheets and spring onions that you wrapped in lettuce leaves. The chili oil was really rich and added a lot of flavor to each bite. We also shared the pad Thai. It also came deconstructed with fish sauce, vinegar, sugar, and other seasonings on the side so you could mix everything to your liking. It was a fun presentation but I wasn't quite sure how much of each ingredient to add. Overall, I enjoyed both the food and the atmosphere.
