    Interior
    Danielle Y.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Peanut Pad Thai
    Kitty L.

    My friend and I had Zen Soup, Kabocha Squash, and Pad Thai Noodles, and every dish was so delicious and beautifully presented! The Kabocha Squash was prepared very uniquely and its texture was like chestnuts! Our server was so kind and efficient!

    Papaya Salad
    Kate K.

    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.

    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.

    Starter's Parade - intense & amazing flavor!
    Nikki N.

    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!

    Peanut Noodle with chicken
    David H.

    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.

    Drunken Noodle
    Ashley J.

    The food is good but the prices online aren't accurate, especially for drinks. The non alcoholic drinks are $2 cheaper than the regular drinks. The food was good though, I enjoyed the noodles, fast service, cozy vibes.

    Red Pumpkin Curry and English Cucumber & Avocado
    Nicolas M.

    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!

    Seafood Panang Curry with side of white rice
    Lexi G.

    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.

    Literally the best Diet Coke ever
    Jesica D.

    One of my absolutely favorite places to go. Summer fire chicken, coconut chicken soup and pad Thai are our go toooo every time! Oh and the prawn burchetta. Everything so fresh and delicious every time. They now even have a full bar to enjoy a Delicious martini as well. Apparently we were so hungry I forgot to snap photos of the food!!! Next time

There's almost zero damping and no acoustic management whatsoever. It has the appearance of an attractive venue without the functional reality. It was incredibly painful with the voices of all the talking along with the music ringing in our ears. The conversations of people were amplified by the design of the facility to the point where they were competing with the fully amplified '90s band that I heard called joose. In addition, they appear to have no comprehension about how to actually create an appropriate acoustic management system. There are no damping systems, no soft surfaces, it's like they didn't even ask anybody who knows anything about anything about how to do acoustic design. It's entirely appearance based. We will never return here again for anything other than a cocktail or maybe a karaoke event. It was a waste of $20. Per person. We effectively paid $40 for a couple to be acoustically tortured for 2 hours. We kept hoping it would get better but it didn't I thought maybe once more people came in they might help but it didn't help they just got louder.

The restaurant offers a simple, approachable menu with a little something for everyone, making it a great spot for groups with different tastes. We kicked things off with the cocktail flight sampler, which was hands-down the highlight of the experience. Not only is it a fun way to explore their drink menu, but it's also a great value--especially considering individual cocktails are $14 each. Our server was fantastic and happily swapped out a few of the flight options to better suit our table's preferences. It made the experience feel even more personalized. For food, we ordered a spread: calamari, poke, zucchini chips, and prawn tacos. While everything was presented nicely, the flavors were just okay--nothing particularly memorable. That said, the zucchini chips were probably the standout of the group, especially if you're in the mood for something crispy and light.

When I realized my fingers were burned, I asked the waiter for ice and he looked at me confused of why I was asking for ice.
