    Asian chicken salad

    Food not at all as described, Asian chicken salad had no lettuce and no chicken rather peanuts, tofu and zest Italian dressing and some chopped carrots, gross. Fried rice was just white rice with a few added veggies. Prices on website menu not accurate at all. I was given a bill of $95 exactly, with nothing itemized. I opened my to go chicken salad and saw this?????

    Chicken Pad Thai. Some of the best we have had!!

    Nit is always so gracious and the food tastes so great. She definitely puts love into the food.

    My first time here and sad to say, I do not plan on returning back. When you 1st walk in, it has the " hole in the wall" vibe. No one was there when i arrived. After I had ordered my food and was seated, I noticed there were lots of flies flying around inside the restaurant. The Tom kha soup and expensive pad thai were just ok. Green curry w/beef- beef was very hard, curry was very oily. Crispy Spring rolls were the best thing I ate there. It was simply mediocre and placed on top of a lot of sweet and sour sauce. Sauce should be on the side. One woman show and service was ok. Unfortunately, I will not be back.

    Pad Thai - hmmm

    Like a few others have wrote. Don't get all the 5 stars. Pad Thai didn't use the right noodles Salmon dinner with red rice and vegetables- ok Crispy Spring roll is okay Service was interesting It's nice, small, and clean inside

    Came in for lunch recently and loved the cozy family vibe here. The lady who runs the place is super nice. We ordered the coconut based soup and chicken in red curry with brown rice. Both the dishes were excellent. Would highly recommend! Note: credit cards not accepted.

    Fresh spring rolls with peanut sauce.

    Small 5 table cafe, w/ lovely owner/cook. She's always so kind and charming. Food is consistently fresh,colorful n creative. A real treat on the coast. Some menu items change based on season, but steady menu of Thai food. You will be happy you had a meal from this serendipitous place.

    Steaming delicious pad Thai!

    The food is so freshly made! And delicious, and great sized portion. My little one & I thoroughly enjoyed the pad Thai with shrimp and chicken. Plus the owner Nit is so warm and lovely! She gave company to my little one and made him laugh and overall made it a memorable time for us ! We will definitely come back again. Thank you Nit :)

    Pineapple Fried Rice with Prawns

    Stopped in during Paul Bunyan days & we were pleasantly surprised by the freshness, amazing flavors & incredible presentation of our meals! We ordered House Salad, no ordinary salad here, yum! Pineapple fried rice w prawns, as delicious as it is pretty! And the Fresh Roll was custom made to our liking~ thank you The young man who served us was friendly & very efficient. Window seating is nice, watched the goings ons on Main street. Prices are reasonable. I totally recommend Nits Cafe!

    After reading a review of this place on local facebook page The Pudding Creek Trestle I decided to give this local gem a try. The food was made by NIT herself. I loved this location from the moment I walked in. The service was a thing of its own. The man that greeted us at the door. The menu here is updated daily and has specials of the day.

    Really enjoyed Nit's Cafe! The place is pretty small and cozy -- I really enjoyed the very chill and unassuming vibe! We ordered the Tom Kha soup and the Pad Thai and really enjoyed both. The Pad Thai was pretty big portion and both items are worth trying. I actually really liked the soup because you could really taste both the Tom Yum spices (without it being spicy) and the coconut. Will be back!

    VEGAN REVIEW Came…read morehere for a dinner in a recent work trip. This came up as my best vegan option. Started with the mango salad, had the pumpkin curry with tofu as my main. Large portions! Tasty & very fresh. Great herbs & lots of sauce. It's in a building that I think is a converted lumber mill? They have seating in a main dining room & then outside... that is still inside? LOL you just have to see it to understand. The decor is nothing to write home about, but it's clean & perfectly serviceable. The service is good. Attentive, but also one the server saw I was reading a book he let me linger. Would return again!

Overall, portion sizes especially the amount of protein in the dishes were a little disappointing, but they certainly deliver on Thai flavors when you're craving it. Koa Soi Chang Mai Curry Egg Noodle Soup (4/5): Egg noodles have a satisfying chew to them with some extra fried noodles over top to add a bit of crunch. Soup was savory, but I just wanted all the flavors to be amped up more (more tang! more spice!). Fantastic option for a rainy and / or sick day though! Panang Curry w/ Pork (3.5/5): Pork was a bit overcooked and chewy, but thinly sliced enough to not be a problem. Plenty of vegetables, but a little sparse on the pork unfortunately. The curry itself had great flavor: great balance of sweet, creamy, and savory across the spices and coconut. However, the curry ran very thin and ate more like a soup. Angel Wings (3.5/5): Chicken was juicy and tender, but there was no crunch on the outside and the skin was still the soft / slightly slimy texture. The sauce is a great sweet and salty combo. The side salad wasn't the freshest, but they aren't the star anyways.

My friends and I were hanging out nearby after enjoying some…read morereally good food, and when we stopped in, everything was clean and the staff were genuinely kind and welcoming. It's the kind of place that makes you want to keep coming back and support a local business. The only reason my visit took an emotional turn was unexpectedly seeing the owner of a nearby construction business. Knowing what I know, I instantly felt uneasy and uncomfortable. In a small town filled with so many families and children, that feeling hit even harder. I immediately knew I would never support that business again. Thankfully, that experience doesn't reflect this construction business at all. The business itself was wonderful, and the employees made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. I truly hope this business continues to thrive because it deserves the support of the community.

Green curry was super flavorful and packed with veggies and chicken. Thai tea with coconut milk was a little sweet for me but still very very flavorful. Don't skip this place on your next Mendocino County weekend getaway :)

My husband and I stayed at the Stanford Inn back in 2025 to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary, and my goodness! It's going to be really hard to beat. The Raven's Restaurant was so convenient being only a few steps away from our room. The views from the dining room are breathtaking. You either get a view of the garden and ocean, or a view of the Big River. Both are amazing! Breakfast is complimentary for those staying at the Stanford Inn, and like other reviewers have mentioned, the portion sizes are large! The food is nutrient dense, so you feel satiated after only eating half of it or so. Our breakfast would also double as our lunch, so that's two meals in one! What a win! Plus, the service was top notch every time. We felt taken care of every step of the way. I am vegan and my husband is not vegan, however, he enjoys and appreciates vegan food. There have been some vegan restaurants that we've gone to where he was not a fan, but he was so pleasantly surprised and happy with all the food at Raven's Restaurant. We especially loved the scones and looked forward to each morning trying a new flavor. They were all so delicious and moist, not crumbly and dry. None of their items were too sweet or too salty, which was amazing for people who are sensitive to those flavors. My husband and I just booked another getaway in a couple weeks and we are counting down the days to be back and enjoy Raven's Restaurant again!

We tried a few dishes including the seasonal vegetable plate, a grain bowl, and their pasta, along with a couple appetizers and salads. Everything was fresh and well-prepared, but overall it felt a bit uneven in terms of flavor and execution. Service was good and the atmosphere is very calm and scenic, especially given the inn setting. A good option if you're staying at the Stanford Inn or want a fully vegan meal
