So terribly disappointed with their food, the server was a sweet young man who worked hard to assist at the table, but the food was the worst I have experienced here as of late. Very poorly prepared and dried out, the meat looked like it had been sitting on the line for a long while, it was not hot in parts and to be honest I won't go back, something has changed here with the quality of the food and personally in today's economy I would rather place my dollars somewhere else. read more

If Michelin Guide means "for white people only," they pass. We should have known the vibe was off when my friends and I got stared at the moment we stepped into the room and noticed the clientele was exclusively Caucasian. It was also suspicious that the drink menu was longer than the food menu, and the specials consisted of drinks, appetizers, and dessert only. Some dishes were better than others: green curry was flavorful but entirely lacking spice, curry beef was well made. The lamb was 95% salt and somehow heavily lacking in lamb flavor. Adding insult to injury, we asked if rice came with each dish while we ordered, were told yes, and then each charged for added rice. The bathroom door also felt practically see-through with is frosted glass in the entryway. Would not recommend. read more

Came here today after going up the road to Armstrong State Park. We were in the mood for Thai food and this place did not disappoint at the least. We ordered fried chives, chicken wings, tofu salad and Thai crack peanuts off the happy hour menu. From the main menu we ordered pork pad see ew, veggie pad Thai and green curry veggie. Everyone in our party was amazed at the flavor of the food. We eat Thai food all the time but the flavor here was bold and very flavorful! We would definitely come back. The service was incredible, we were given clear recommendations based on what we requested and the ambiance is top notch h. It feels like a nice place to sit and eat and enjoy the company of who you came with read more

I absolutely LOVE the pad thai from Khom Loi! Id even say it's the best I've had in Sonoma County. It has been my go to pad thai spot for years and has never failed me. Not only does it taste amazing, the portion size is great. My little one is also a big fan of their fried chicken option on kids menu. The setup inside is unique to other restaurants in Sebastopol and aesthetically pleasing . The staff has always been super attentive and friendly whether I've dined in or ordered take out. Parking may be a pain sometimes, but it's worth it! read more

Delicious meal! We went last night with some friends which was great so we could eat more things. We had a reservation in the evening, and our table was ready on scheduled time. We arrived a little early so we made ourselves comfortable at the bar for a drink and some peanut crack. I have to say, this simple dish is spectacular! I remembered it from our first time here and it didn't disappoint. Spicy, crunchy, slightly sweet from coconut. All the umami! This time around we shared the chive dumplings (excellent fresh flavors with good crunch), lemongrass chicken, flatiron steak salad, pad see ew, and fried whole fish. I have zero complaints about anything we ate. Service was friendly, pricing is very affordable considering quality of food, flavors were complex enough, not too spicy (in my humble opinion), lovely ambiance, just an awesome dining read more

I absolutely loved the decorations, vibes, atmosphere-all of it! The "outdoor" seating area was beautiful with the wooden panels, lanterns and greenery. The indoor seating was nice too, but you may get a bit of smoke coming from their open kitchen. 4/5 Kanom Guichai Tod (Fried Chive Dumplings): I wouldn't consider them dumplings, though the flavoring did remind me of dim sum. This was more of a crispy, layered scallion pancake. Still very delicious though! I enjoyed the texture of the crispy exterior and the garlic chive inside. 4/5 Pad Thai: It was flavorful and delicious! It's a staple at any Thai restaurant, so I was happy that it kept up to standards of what a Pad Thai should taste like. 5/5 Muu Yang (Charcoal Grilled Pork Rib): To my surprise, this was my favorite! The pork ribs were very well marinated and prepared! The meat was juicy, tender, and slid right off the bone. Of the three dishes, I highly recommend this dish! read more

Absolutely gorgeous interior, by entering the restaurant you are stepping into a portal to another land. Wooden structure with tons of bamboo lanterns, indoor gardens, and ponds.

Khom Loi - Grilled Thai Sausage with Chili Dip. - Thai Near Me - Sebastopol, California

When we first arrived to this location we were in awe! It's such an inviting place. The tables are wooden and the chairs are black/brown which blend in really well with all of the greenery they have on site! Service was good. The employees were polite and brought our food out fairly quickly. It appears that the menu is rotating so before arriving I was expected to get some tom yum soup but it wasn't on the menu. They have a lot of vegan options. The food itself is very different from all of the other Thai food that I've had, however it tasted good. The papaya salad was my favorite out of all the things we tried. The drunken noodles was delicious and they had mushrooms in it. The yellow curry with noodles was a bit different than what I've had in the past, but it was still tasty, flavor wise. They use fresh ingredients and you can taste that in the food. Oh yeah, the Thai tea was the most unique that I've ever tried and it did not have a lot of sugar like all the others which was a BIG plus because you can't actually taste the tea! Last and foremost, they have happy hour everyday starting at 3pm. I forgot what time it ends. read more

We came here for an anniversary dinner. The food was fantastic- we tried the pad Thai, the vegetarian dumplings and seafood soup. We also tried a curry dish in coconut milk that was good with white rice (ice is needed it's soupy). Generous portions had us taking food home. The spices and aromas and taste were excellent. The atmosphere was nice with lots of greenery and a pond on the patio, heat lamp kept us warm but you're still in a foyer for other businesses so 3.75 stars there. Service was slightly above average; wasn't sure if our server was stoked with us being there or not ‍ all the food came out hot and ready to their credit. Would def recommend for some upscale Thai food. read more

We came here for a late lunch on Saturday and sat in their outdoor space, next the pond. The service was great and our server was attentive. Amazing food too but portions a little on the smaller side. We got the crispy rice soup which was the special for the day and it was absolutely perfect for the rainy weather. We also got a stir fried flat rice noodle with mushrooms and different vegetables. I forgot the name of the dish but it was similar to drunken noodles. Both dishes were wonderful and the mocktails we got paired well with the dishes! read more

Khom Loi - Thai Near Me - Sebastopol, California

Wine country is known for their endless elevated dishes but have you tried Khom Loi in Sonoma County? Unless you are really trying to find this place you might not stumble upon it because it shares its building and parking lot with a few other businesses on a corner lot. The setting is absolutely gorgeous, with an array of seating options. You are welcomed by the amazing team who is more than happy to share their recommendations. You know when you go to a restaurant and the server says everything taste great? Well there's not a more true statement than that here. We ordered a few items and my personal favorite was the Kanom Guichai Tod AKA the fried chive dumplings. And it was so good we had to order it again for the table. I cannot even begin to describe the crispy layers. Truly I could have just ate just that. Of course we had to go with classics such as the Thai tea (which if you're used to the Vietnamese version, this is a little different, probably do to the presence of the anise star), nonetheless you should still try it. We had some pad Thai and their special which was a whole fish dish (definitely not doing it any favors but 10/10). I would highly recommend making a reservation just because when we arrived the place began to fill up. Cannot wait to come back. read more

The food was good--solid and enjoyable. But what really stood out was the atmosphere: a cement pond with plastic lotuses and glowing lanterns, giving the place a calm and oddly enchanting feel. The lotuses may have been plastic, but the charm was genuine. Amen. read more

Khom Loi - Thai ice tea & drunken noodles - Thai Near Me - Sebastopol, California

Went to Khom Loi for happy hour. Had decent specials. Started off with a Thai tea for I believe which was three bucks and it was delicious. We got the papaya salad at 10 bucks and it was delicious with the right flavors of citrus, Usami and sweetness. Could use a little bit more of heat. The fried chicken was very crispy as well and it was more like chicken bites and not wings. I would prefer wings, but the flavor was good nice sweet and citrus. The khoi sao came with a nice merry crispy chicken thigh, and the skin was perfect. Good flavored curry and good needles. Would definitely come back and recommend to others. read more

Service wasn't great - was unable to be seated outside as a party of one, although there were plenty of tables available. Not impressed!

We drive up to Sebastopol fairly often to have lunch at this great Thai spot (or the sister restaurant Gaijin Ramen but that's another story). Thai food with a California twist. Really fresh and innovative and delicious. We had papaya salad and drunken noodles this time - both delicious - and perfect on a very hot day. Service is really good . If you're up in the area I definitely recommend Khom Loi and lucky you if you're close. Worth a drive from SF. read more

Really fantastic Thai food, not only for Sonoma County, but for the bay area in general. I live in SF, and this place can compete with the best around here. They really pay attention to the flavors here. Every dish was just singing. Also, this place doesn't hold back on spice and has a lot of things you don't find on other menus. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The interior of the restaurant is chic and beautiful without being too bougie or pretentious. Fried chive dumplings 5/5: Very unique. I have never had anything like this before. It was like a savory mochi that was crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Bursting with flavor and the dipping sauces were delicious. Lemongrass fried chicken 5/5: Yes. Well seasoned and the cook was on point. I love anything with makrut lime and the crispy bits sprinkled on top were delicious. Dipping sauce was super tasty. Nam Tok 5/5: Beef salad. One of the best versions of this dish that I have had. So flavorful. Pad see ew 4/5: Really one of the better versions of this dish that I have had. It was a smidge too salty though. If they had dialed that back a bit, it would be exceptional. Crispy fried rockfish 5/5: Maybe the best dish of the night. Crispy delicious whole fish. The tamarind/bird chili sauce was so so good. Total trip to flavor country and back. Tangy, spicy, funky, sweet all at the same time. My only complaint is that they should serve this with lettuce cups. They had the cilantro and the basil on the side and it would be easier to eat it all together if there was a vessel to scoop it up in. I definitely plan on coming back here many times over. I would put this in the upper echelon of thai restaurants that I have been to. Highly recommended. read more

Being a Thai-foodie, this doesn't pass the test! Pad Thai is very, very bland. Not your typical Thai restaurant missing most of typical dishes. I suggest you go somewhere else if you're used to eating traditional Thai food. read more

Khom Loi has become our regular lunch spot before an afternoon of wine tasting. A hidden gem in Sebastopol with delicious authentic Thai fare. The ambiance is relaxing with a beautiful enclosed patio with abundance of natural light. Plates: -Gai tod - Perfectly fried lemon grass chicken with a crispy exterior and tender juicy center. -Kanom guichai tod - Crispy aromatic deliciousness. This is reminiscent of a scallion pancake but multi-layered. Yum! -Som tam - Julienne green papaya with bird chili, Thai basil, and peanuts. So refreshing with a spicy kick. -Pad Thai - Needs no introduction. A Thai classic. A must have. Perfectly stirred rice noodles served with chicken, Gulf prawn, tofu, eggs, and toasted peanuts. -Khao soi neau - House prepared red curry and coconut based broth served with wheat noodles, bone in short rib, and crispy noodles. Complex, flavorful and comforting. Special thanks to Daniel for the excellent and efficient service. Thank you chefs and the entire service team. See y'all again soon. read more

This is one of the better Thai places I've tried in a bit and it was surprising to me. I expected it to be overrated and it wasn't. One of the issues is the portion to price ratio. Kinda ridiculous but I wasn't paying the bill this time haha. We came in time for happy hour which is 3-5 Fri-sun. The Thai fried chicken surprised me as kind of like a Thai version of chicken karrage with it being boneless. I honestly preferred it this way and the flavor was great. The chefs definitely got the food being a "feast for all the senses" with each dish. Their papaya salad I think is the best in Sonoma county so far. The beef massaman curry and sticky rice was good, again really sad portion. The pad kee mao and the crispy fried rock fish were amazing. Definitely have to get the rock fish. The sauce on there has a lot of depth, just wish there were more. Super pretty restaurant and great flavors in their dishes. read more

Drove half an hour through fog and rain to get to Sebastopol and try out Khom Loi. It was sooo worth it. The top of the menu captures this place "Thai food is all things spicy, sweet, salty, funky & fresh... Our dishes represent this and are inspired by those you would find in Thailand, but are rooted in Sonoma County." Sounds like Easy Rider which has something like Southern Flavors, Northern California. The service was led by our server Alexis and a team of gals who delivered each dish as soon as it was available in the kitchen. Each person I interacted by friendly, competent, and most had a real good sense of humor. FOOD From the "Rice, snacks and salads" section: Loved the "Garlic Chive Dumpling" and two sauces. One was spicy and another was not. It was shared amoung three people with various heat preferences so everyone was happy. The name "dumpling" is misleading because it was NOT like any one I had before which is usually dough on the outside and chopped protein and/or veg inside. It was more like squares of veg held together by magic and just the right size to dip into the sauce and pop it in your mouth. Outta this world! I think my favorite was the "Charcoal Grilled Mushroom Salad". Again salad doesn't quite capture what it was, which which more like a veggie side made up of grilled mushrooms, toasted rice powder, dried Thai chile, shallot, cilantro, basil and mint each element was delightful on its own then tossed together they were group with each member maintaining their own personality. My tongue was throwing a party for my mouth! From the "Noodles, Soups & Curries" section": My daughter and bride liked the Green Curry with Sweet Potato. I was too busy with the other items. The Pad Thai was what I wanted in a Pad Thai. A mixture of "fresh ride noodle / firm tofu / pork shoulder gravy / shitake king trumpet / gai pan /cabbage /carrot" that totally does NOT capture the dish. First off it was NOT a gummy monochromatic thing that I am used to getting. Like the "salad" each ingredient stood out on its own when it hit my tongue. Trying to write a review reminds me of my first visit to Ayawaska Petaluma. They too listed all the ingredients in a dessert. The server a Peruvian born young man said this is great. The description is in the name. In Peruvian it means an "ahhhhh" of satisfaction on the way to end the meal. This Pad Thai was more like OMFG this is incredible. Maybe there a word for that in Thai... We didn't have enough eaters to order "From the Wok" or "Meat and Fish." I was disappointed as I wanted to try the Charcoal Grilled Liberty Duck Breast. I have to go back and build a meal around this! From the "Sweets" section: "Make it a Sundae" was based on the Straus Dairy Soft Serve. The "flavor of Thailand" was jackfruit. But the topping of blueberry / brûlée banana /mochi / sweetened condensed milk /coconut peanut crumple does NOT capture the mouthfeel that shows up with your first spoonful. Alexis comment of "the warm banana brûlée complements the cool soft serve and the other gems of flavor". You've GOT to try it. I guarantee it will rock your culinary world! read more

It's easy to see why this place earned a Bib Gourmand from the Michelin Guide. This restaurant, a collaboration with the talented Ramen Gajin team (also a delicious and highly recommended Bib Gourmand recipient), delivers an exceptional dining experience. Upon arriving on a Saturday afternoon, I was greeted by the stunning exterior wall of the restaurant, which resembled the elegant design of a shoji screen. The interior was equally impressive, showcasing lofty ceilings, gorgeous lantern-style lighting, a serene pond, and a palette of beautiful earthy tones complemented by lush, live greenery. Truly one of the most visually pleasing restaurants I've visited in Sonoma County. We were greeted with a warm welcome and seated immediately. The service was fantastic during our entire dining experience. From the lunch menu: Gai Tod (Thai Fried Chicken--$16): This delicious, bite-sized fried chicken is packed with flavor and very crispy. It comes with cucumber and lettuce on the side. I highly recommend this dish and also to request the sauces and spice rack they have available to make a tasty dipping sauce (fish sauce, vinegar, dried chile, etc.). Pad See Ew (Soy Sauce Rice Noodles--$18): I loved it. The plump, large noodles, tender mushrooms, and greens were contrasted by the crunchy broccolini, all with a perfect umami flavor. The ground pork was nicely charred. I will say the portion of this dish was small compared to many other Thai restaurants I've been to. Khao Soi Gai (Yellow Curry Noodles with Chicken--$25): Probably my favorite dish. The noodles were deliciously al dente, with great textural contrast from the crispy fried noodles. The curry was rich and hit all the right notes. The chicken thigh came whole with bone-in, so they give you a knife to cut it. One thing I hoped for was to be able to choose my own protein for my entrees. The bone-in chicken thigh and ground pork were very good, but if I had the option of beef or shrimp, I would have chosen the latter. For drinks, we had Singha and the Thai-Chelada. If you like spice, I couldn't recommend the Thai-Chelada more. I'm 100% obsessed. You definitely don't want to miss out on this place--I highly recommend a visit and can't wait to go back myself to try all of their other menu items :) read more

I called for take out at Khom Loi and the wait time for pick up was 1HOUR & 15 MINS!!! I said Fine, and ran some errands and went to pick up. After I paid, I still waited about 15 mins before my food was ready so total wait time is 1hr30 mins. They need more kitchen staff as they are behind. I dont know what the wait time is if you dine indoors but for take out- suggest you call over a hour in advance. Terrible. However- The food itself was pretty darn good so they retain a good rating from me. You definitely get spice, different flavors, fresh food. Both dishes of chicken went well. The mushroom salad was very spicy. Fried chives was also good. The pad thai only had 2 pieces of shrimp :( I know and have seen restaurants cutting back on seafood but it's pretty bad everywhere. This is not the first place I have seen only giving 2 pieces of shrimp in a dish now. :( Interesting that the pad thai comes with both chicken and shrimp. Wished I got some jasmine rice wouldve been good to help with some of the spice. I would come back to do dine in and see if I get a different experience/less wait time. Parking lot if small and filled up. Look for street parking if you can. read more

I don't understand how anyone can give this place can be anything less than 4.5... I think there are people around who actually think that strip mall Thai food is "authentic" (for your knowledge much of what we think of as Thai food was designed by the government in the 70's to create a style & menu they thought could be exported to the West primarily the U.S.)... people who actually know authentic Thai food will recognize Khom Loi as being closer to what you would eat in Bangkok than the typical strip mall Thai we get. I am not a fan of every dish here (which is why I think 4.5 is the best assessment); but the deep fried fish (simultaneously crispy & lusciously buttery) is one of the best dishes you can find anywhere in the Northbay... the Papaya salad is great, and the Pad Thai is solid. Also, the decor & ambience are fantastic! The wine program is pretty meh (wish they had lot more Bubbles & spice friendly wines)... but really; Pliny is all you need with a nice spicy, full flavored Thai meal. read more

We really enjoyed our visit to this hip little restaurant. Everything had a lot of flavor and a LOT of spice. We enjoyed everything: -- whole fried fish is a must: moist, lemongrass infused deliciousness -- chive dumplings are completely different (slightly greasy, but also addictive) -- crispy rice salad was my favorite, because of the contrasting flavors and textures -- lemongrass fried chicken was not quite as crispy as I expected, but quite yummy with the dipping sauce Drinks and atmosphere are top-notch. read more

Khom Loi is the Thai inspired restaurant behind the minds of Ramen Gaijin that is worth checking out if you are in the Sebastapol area. Michelin recommended Khom Loi as a Bib Gourmand in 2022 putting it on my radar for a place to check out. The name Khom Loi means floating lantern in Thai which is beautifully represented by bamboo lanterns that hang above from the patio dining area. However, given the buzz around the restaurant, it was no surprise we were told that there was only bar seating available when I came around the dinner opening hour as a walk in. Therefore, if you truly want to have the true dining experience, I would highly recommend making a reservation! In terms of menu, there was a collection of Thai classics that are not really inventive, but well executed from what I sampled. Here is what I had: Som Tam Pu (green papaya salad): As a fan of papaya salad, I enjoyed this solid version. Drenched with plenty of fish sauce and lime juice to marry the salty umami flavor from the fish sauce and the bright zest of the lime juice making this papaya salad really refreshing and enjoyable on a hot summer day. Khao Soi (noodle in chicken curry): since this is one of my favorite Thai dishes, I had high expectations for this dish. Khom Loi's version hit all the boxes with a rich creamy curry that had enough flavor to make each noodle filled slurp enjoyable. If anything, I just wished for a little bit more spice and chicken to really amp this dish up. However, I could not complain with this version. Plaa Thawt Lat Prik (crispy whole rock cod): This is a whole rock cod fried for maximum crispiness and drenched with a finger-licking good tamarind and chile sauce! Although there are nice chunks that are cut for more convenient eating, there is still plenty of meat to be had in the head as well as others that may require more work. Paired with a selection of herbs to give a nice freshness to each bite, I would say this was my favorite dish hands down. However, I can see some people not enjoying have to work for their food. In terms of service, the waitress at the bar was super friendly and helpful. She was giving recommendations and checking in on us regularly. For parking, the lot is quite small. It shares a parking lot with an apartment complex nearby so it may be a little confusing. I found street parking not too far and walked over, but would recommend to make time to find parking especially during peak hours. Overall, Khom Loi makes good on its Bib Gourmand status as a restaurant worth checking out in the Sebastapol area especially if you are looking for Thai food. read more

By far some of the best Thai food I've had in Sonoma County. Very welcoming and relaxed interior. The food was bursting with contrasting flavors all around. I enjoyed the curry with the purple yam and the onion pancake was crispy. Pad Thai was authentic and all the food tasted very fresh. They hit all of the flavor notes (sweet, savory, umami) and meshed them together well. read more

First thing you notice when walking in is the interesting layout of the place. The back of the restaurant was wide open and they had a little pond in the middle with plants growing around. We went for lunch and found the service nonexistent. We waited a few minutes to be seated. We saw a worker walk pass us and he didn't say anything... A customer had to speak up to let us know where to go to order. We found out that the lunch menu was very limited. He didn't let us know the plates, utensils and water were self serve. We found that out later on. Lemongrass fried chicken - so good dipped in the sweet and sour sauce 10/10! Pad thai - a bit disappointing, not enough flavor. 6.5/10 Papaya salad - Not bad, but nothing to write home about. 7/10 Overall the lunch was ok, service gets a fail. The bright spot was the lemongrass chicken. read more
