A lovely night for Sea Thai Bistro. We wanted noodles, egg rolls and a steak salad. and this was it! The server was so welcoming, kind and patient while we took our time deciding what to order and the ambiance is always so welcoming. Cheers to another visit soon. read more

Beautiful Ambiance. This was a gorgeous restaurant for a decade and then they did a facelift because the shopping center has gone very upscale. Now it is again beautifully decorated, just very different and much less colorful. Do the rich prefer blacks and greys? The cocktails are creative and delicious and the bar is very inviting. The restaurant is not quiet, don't go with your parents who wear hearing aids, or should be wearing them. The noodle dishes are very good, the curry dishes are very good, salads are very good and appetizers are okay. Nothing is as spicy as some hole in the wall Thai place in Oakland, unfortunately. But that may be part of the appeal for the Santa Rosa crowd. read more

3.5 stars. The good (4 stars): Interior (would prefer sitting at the bar), cocktail menu, decent variety of food options across seafood/meat/vegetarian The mediocre (3 stars): A little salty for my taste I would have probably enjoyed this place more with a date or girlfriends catching up - ideally with a seat at the bar that is central to the restaurant. Great, dimly lit decor, lots of cocktail/drink options, and a decent menu - though lots of curries! My experience was with my husband (who does not like curry) and my two toddler kids. They were kind enough to let us do a walk in if we promised to finish within an hour given they were booked (with toddlers, we try to eat quickly and bounce - no problem!). Without a curry option, we got the brown noodles (pad see ew), beef and broccoli, basil seafood, and sides of rice and rice noodles. From a food perspective, I found it tasty but a little too salty. The basil seafood was by far the best. I don't personally like pad see ew with pork (which was the only option) - usually I prefer chicken. And the beef broccoli - sort of like Chinese beef and broccoli but with bell peppers and onions - was definitely overcooked. It was a decent meal, great service, and a good option located conveniently in the Montgomery shopping complex, but it made me think that we're spoiled with better Asian food in the peninsula / south Bay. *Also my food experience might have been better if I had gotten to order the pad Thai and a green curry with girlfriends vs. my husband =P read more

Food was quite good, service as well. Not as good as Viet Thai which is exceptional. We will go back to try SEA Thai again

Sea Thai Bistro has been a staple in Santa Rosa for years and I've been coming here several times a year for years. Anytime friends or family are visiting, this is one of the first places I take them. It's upscale Thai cuisine but still very much comfort food. The interior is elevated and cozy, especially after the renovation (though I loved it even before). A lot of restaurants struggle to do both dine-in and takeout well, but Sea Thai nails both. You can order takeout and it still tastes like the chef just made it in the kitchen for you. Tonight I had the lamb chops with curry and rice amazing. Highly recommend. I also love the green curry, and I always get the lychee lemon drop... so good. I personally love sitting at the bar, it's beautiful and has always been my go-to spot but it's also perfect for a date night. Very intimate and one of my fav spots in Santa Rosa. read more

We wanted to have some Thai food and this place came up with good ratings online. Breaking down this review in a few categories. Ambience 5/5: the interior is stunning upscale, and looks newly renovated very beautiful. Not your typical Thai restaurant so I was very impressed. Food 3/5: unfortunately the food just felt short for me. It did not taste like authentic Thai food. The price was on the higher side, but it felt very westernized. We order drunken noodles and for some reason it came out pretty watery/saucey but the flavor wasn't there. The vegetables were overcooked, and it felt very clear that it wasn't cooked in a wok. Also a defaulted to chicken and had no other options, which was also strange to me. Spicy beef noodle taste it kinda like Vietnamese pho, but the broth was very light in flavor and a bit tangy citrus. There were a few pieces of beef and it was not spicy at all. The noodles were rice noodles. It was just OK. The survey was great and the food came out quick. The waiter was attentive. Overall, we had a good experience. however, if you're looking for authentic Thai food, this is not it. Other spots might not be as nice but depends on what you're looking for. read more

Sea Thai Bistro has a lot of potential, but our experience was mixed. We ordered the drunken noodles and the spicy beef noodle soup. Unfortunately, the drunken noodles were a letdown because they came out watery, lacked that authentic wok flavor, and overall were pretty bland. The spicy beef noodle soup was better and fairly enjoyable, but despite the name, it wasn't actually spicy. Service was mediocre throughout our visit. The hostess wasn't very friendly and showed little emotion, which set a lukewarm tone from the start. On the positive side, the restaurant has a beautiful interior that feels modern and inviting. There's also plenty of parking, which is always a plus in Santa Rosa. Prices were reasonable for the portion sizes, so value-wise it wasn't bad. Overall, it's an okay spot with nice ambiance, but the food and service need improvement for us to be excited about coming back. read more

Went to Sea Thai Bistro and had such a great experience! The food was amazing--everything was full of flavor and really hit the spot. The remodel looks so good too, way more aesthetic and just overall more pleasing to the eye. Service was quick and super friendly, which made it even better. Definitely one of my go-to spots whenever I'm in Montgomery Village! read more

Always forget about this place but whenever I show up, it's consistent quality. Yes it's American westernized Thai but it's delicious. My go-tos; papaya salad, pad thai, Thai curry noodle, and pumpkin curry. Heard tri tip salad is bomb too. Drinks are strong but taste like low shelf/ well. Food comes out quick and service is attentive. Remodeled this location a couple years back and very elegant, can dress casual to upscale. The bar is cool with the limestone /light feature. read more

Met a friend for dinner this evening. Many things were still impressive and they were the service, ambience & wine list. I had a lovely Sancerre that paired nicely with my food. I typically choose the pumpkin curry but decided to try something different this time- the Massaman Curry. It did not compare to the full flavors of the pumpkin curry and the consistency was more like a soup. I didn't plan on having rice, but it was impossible to eat this without it. I took home the rest and plan to spice it up a bit. My friend loved her pod Thai and it looked wonderful and was quite plentiful as well. We also enjoyed the Panko crust tofu as an appetizer. The noise level is pretty extreme there. We had been seated at a table, but asked to move to the bar. It was a little less loud- just really hard to hold a conversation. All in all a solid 4 stars. I forgot to take photos of the food. read more

A colleague recommended SEA Thai while I was in Santa Rosa recently and I'm so happy they did. I went in just days before a month long closure for remodel and I look forward to going back to check out the changes. I was dining alone and took a table outside. I wanted to try some different flavors off the menu, so I went for the Starter's Parade, which left me satiated and satisfied! I couldn't tell you if I had a favorite because everything was so delicious. The presentation was spot on and the service was excellent. A couple at a nearby table frequently the restaurant and had never seen the platter - it was fun telling them all about it. They shared their favorite thing to enjoy is the chicken galangal soup and they share an order of pad Thai, so I may have to try that next time! read more

I heard a lot of praise for this restaurant, so I thought I would give it a try. I ordered the peanut noodle dish since it sounds unusual. I heard it was a popular dish. It was delicious, thick and creamy with a kick of chili. Service was great and beautiful ambiance. I would go back to try other dishes. read more

I promised my lovely girlfriend a "fancy date" today. She recommended Sea Thai based on its inviting ambiance. The restaurant did not disappoint. The place is spacious, with a well-stocked bar and patio seating for warmer seasons. The seats were comfortable and our table was luxuriously large. Our servers, PK and Nick, were the highlights of the evening. PK was delightful, joking and making us feel welcomed. Nick was professional and attentive to our requests. They are wonderful servers and Sea Thai is lucky to have them. The food was delicious. The Panko Fried Tofu was crunchy and came with a nice tangy sauce. The English Cucumber and Avocado Salad was creamy and a nice portion size. And the red pumpkin curry was perfection. If you are in Santa Rosa and want a "fancy date," take girlfriend (or boyfriend, or mother, etc.) to Sea Thai Bistro! read more

My husband and I went out for dinner here with our friends for a double date, and the service was super friendly, we felt right at home. Since we had little ones with us, it was awesome that they provided highchairs and plastic water cups for the kids. We kicked things off with the Starter's Parade, which is perfect for first-timers because it lets you sample a bunch of their appetizers. My husband chose the Seafood Panang Curry with a side of white rice, and he really liked it. I went for the Drunken noodles, and I loved it too; the bell peppers were just right, not overcooked or mushy. I should mention that starting July 1st, 2025, the dining area will be closed for renovations, but they'll still be doing takeout and delivery. They plan to reopen in August, and I can't wait to dine in again once the renovations are done; I'm sure it's going to be fantastic. read more

This Thai restaurant is really good. I first tried it when work reps would bring lunch for us, and I was honestly surprised by how good it was. The Pad Thai noodles are delicious and very filling. I've also eaten inside the restaurant, and it's nice, clean, and always busy, which is usually a good sign. You can tell it's a popular spot for a reason. Overall, it's a solid place for Thai food and definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

This is my go to for a unique quality meal. it's upscale casual and fun. The food is really good, I always get the summer fire chicken. It's a curry dish and I get rice to put it over. The service is always exceptional too! read more

3-3.5 stars. The Coddingtown location is definitely better. I also agree with a lot of other recent reviews that it's kinda pricey for the servings you get. We did traditional pad Thai, beef and broccoli, and the summer fire chicken for take out, and it was ready more than 20 mins before the quote time. I would have been pretty disappointed if I hadn't shown up early and my food had been dying that whole time. The summer fire chicken was the best of the bunch. I'd give that a solid 4-4.5 stars; really good flavor and everything was cooked well. Pad Thai was good, not great; 3.5-4. A little dry and lacking in flavor, but the proteins were cooked nicely. The real letdown was the beef and broccoli. It was served in basically a broth, not even really a sauce, and it was absolutely decimated with minced garlic! That's all you could taste! Beef was prepared ok, but the broccoli was soggy mush, like it was already steamed and then added to essentially a soup. I don't think we'll be rushing back, but maybe the summer fire chicken can be another addition to our easy take out options. read more

We've been going to Thai seafood bistro for years and have always been happy. Today was a complete disappointment. We love their potstickers, but today they were barely warm. The sweet-and-sour pork always had lots of fried pork and today there was very little pork and it was just fried. It was mainly peppers and onions. Even the waiter had to admit, they had cut down on the protein and added more vegetables. We are very sad because we won't be going back. Clearly they are stepping on dollars to pick up dimes. read more

My employer ordered takeout; being vegetarian I ordered the veggies and jasmine rice as it seemed pretty safe. For some unknown reason it contained jalapeños (??), which I'm allergic to. Nowhere in the list of ingredients were those mentioned. Luckily, it's not a life-threatening allergy, but I will say I'm very uncomfortable and disappointed. It goes without saying I won't eat here again as I can't even trust the ingredient list. read more

Sea Thai is always a go to for us , always delicious food and we love dining on the patio in the summer

The starter parade, or what my friend likes to call the sampler parade was fantastic. The fact that other restaurants haven't figured out how to do this is just my numbing to me. They were three of us so we got three of everything if you'd like something, you can order one individually. I lived in Santa rosa for 17 years visited the old location just a few times and I'm happy I'm older and can appreciate things like this now. The service was fantastic. The ambience was great. Everyone was nice and kind was not too loud was not too quiet. Definitely has an awesome amount of seating. Great place for a date read more

This is a Doordash review. Me and my mom ordered in. The service on packaging our food was really good. We ordered the Little Baskets, excellent. You need to put more lettuce for more wraps. Drunken noodles fantastic and filling. We added Chicken Fire main, super tasty and with a warm heat. I know the ambiance is always good. I am thinking maybe birthday dinner. Enjoyed our meal so much and it was so fresh and tasty. read more

I loved this place and always ordered the same yummy dishes. I am very disappointed that the caramelized pork belly was just fat. I know that pork belly has lots of fat, but the last two times it has been a disgrace with pieces of just caramelized fat. Also I asked for more dressing as my salad was rather dry and they charged me $3.00 for a tiny container, less than 2 onzas of dressing for $3.00!!! Maybe they thought they were serving me liquid gold? read more

Food is great as always, service was so so, and still not crazy about the new decor.

Came here with some friends for dinner and it exceeded my expectations! The ambiance of the restaurant was super cute and inviting. I decided to order the pad thai which had the perfect balance of tasty and authentic. Also, the presentation of the entrees were super cute. One of the things that brought my attention was the friendly staff who recommended a few appetizers to us which I absolutely enjoyed including the jumbo shrimp. Definitely recommend coming here if youre in the area. read more

Ambiance inside looked amazing but we had to sit outside. Still enjoyed the atmosphere outside but service was a little slow. We ordered the chicken satay, raw oysters, beef noodle soup, and pad thai. They were all delicious! Would definitely recommend the chicken satay for an appetizer. Did get food poisoning (most likely from the oysters) but not sure if that's because of the freshness/quality or because I have a weak stomach... read more

If you're looking for overly sweet and white-washed Thai food, I would say this is the place to head to. Most everything here is always on the sweeter side and unbalanced that it makes it hard to want to eat some of the things. I think the most devoured things our group can get through would be the fried rice and the tri-tip salad. The fish we had was super fishy and we couldn't stomach eating much of it. When it came to the curry and the basil chicken, it just felt like the food was covered in a heavy syrup when it'd reach my palate. If you want authentic and great tasting Thai food, I'd highly recommend Tipp Thai or Khoomlana in comparison to this place. read more

Sea Thai Bistro offers fabulous Thai cuisine, blending authentic flavors with fresh ingredients and elegant presentation. During a recent visit, I sampled a selection of their popular dishes--each one thoughtfully crafted and full of personality. Pad Thai The Pad Thai here strikes a great balance between sweet, savory, and tangy. The noodles were perfectly cooked, slightly chewy, and generously coated in a rich tamarind-based sauce. Crunchy peanuts and a squeeze of lime added a bright, nutty contrast. The portion was hearty and included plump shrimp that were tender and well-seasoned. Lemongrass Prawn Soup (Tom Yum Goong) This soup was a standout. It delivered a bold punch of lemongrass and kaffir lime, with a subtle heat that lingered without overpowering. The prawns were fresh and succulent, and the broth had the perfect harmony of sour, spicy, and aromatic notes--ideal for starting the meal with something warming and invigorating. Papaya Salad (Som Tum) The Papaya Salad was crisp and refreshing with a solid hit of chili and lime. The shredded green papaya retained a nice crunch, and the inclusion of tomatoes, peanuts, and green beans added variety and texture. It was bright and zesty, though a bit more fish sauce or depth of umami might have rounded it out better for some palates. Drunken Noodle (Pad Kee Mao) Rich, spicy, and incredibly satisfying, the Drunken Noodles delivered bold wok-charred flavor with wide rice noodles that soaked up the savory sauce beautifully. Fresh basil and chili gave the dish an aromatic kick, and the vegetables retained a nice snap. The beef option was tender and flavorful, making this dish a hearty highlight of the meal. Thai Iced Tea The Thai Iced Tea was classic and well-executed--smooth, sweet, and creamy with a pleasant hint of spice. It was the perfect way to cool down after the spicier dishes and rounded off the meal on a comforting note. Overall Sea Thai Bistro impresses with its consistent quality and attention to detail. The menu offers a good range of both traditional and slightly modernized Thai dishes, served in a stylish but relaxed setting. Whether you're looking for something spicy, tangy, or sweet, you'll find something satisfying here. Highly recommended for anyone craving vibrant Thai flavors with a polished touch. All that being said, the service was not all that great, we asked twice for Ice water and both times had to ask for extra ice, the restaurant was not particularly busy, but it was really hard to get our waiter's attention and several times we saw him standing just looking at his phone while we were trying to flag him down. read more
