My family and I have gone here for years and we heard there was a change in ownership. I got the Tom cha soup with scallops. It tasted as good as I have always had it. The next day I couldn't stay out of my leftovers. The service was also good. I would recommend it to anyone coming to Nevada city. read more

Came here as a recommendation from a barista in Marysville! We were heading on our way back home from Yuba City and decided to make a stop in Nevada City. This place was absolutely amazing! The atmosphere was cozy and the patio was beautiful! It's a beautiful older building that's been nicely renovated, but maintains its charm. The service was fantastic and our server was so sweet! She gave us great recommendations from their lunch special menu (great timing!) and both were delicious! My spicy noodles were well seasoned and cooked. Plenty of pieces of chicken and fresh mix of veggies. My friend's green curry was super fresh and flavorful! We both also agree the Tom Kha soup side was probably the best we've ever had! Please check out this little spot if you have the time! It will not disappoint! read more

Very accommodating as we changed seating from outside to inside due to cool weather and they were gracious to seat us (4) at a nice private area. Red Mango curry-pad Thai & the lard outstanding. They will soon have their liquor license but for our dinner we all enjoyed the ginger-lemongrass tea. Super friendly service & hope to return next trip to this historic town! read more

Love this place! The atmosphere outside is beautiful, all the food we tried was divine, prices were reasonable and they were kind enough to seat us even though they had already stopped seating for the night. Loved the recommended red mango curry. YUM read more

The rest of my family is more into Thai food than I am. I was not properly introduced at the right time in my food journey apparently. When we made an overnight trip to Nevada City recently, several in the multi-generational group of aunts / uncles / cousins / parents remarked that there was a Thai restaurant with good ratings. I was happy to see that they had an outdoor patio, so we made that our dinner spot. They pushed two tables together on the patio to fit our group of eight. The patio space feels like a secret garden grotto with beautiful landscaping and a cozy feel. The sound of gently rushing water made it all the more charming. Sitting at the back of the historic brick building with its sculpted metal railings reminiscent of New Orleans was a wonderful visual addition to the experience. The gracious greeting we received and the good service throughout complemented the delicious food. We ended up ordering family style and sharing, and that provided lots of different tastes and textures to sample. Since I'm pretty much a novice at knowing what to order at a Thai place, it was a foodie adventure for me. I loved the crab pad se-ew, shrimp rolls, and fresh spring rolls in particular. The "regular" rice was prepared in a sticky rice fashion, and the actual "sticky rice" side order was actually too dense for my preference, but it all got consumed anyway. I sampled several of the more adventuresome dishes that my brother ordered with level-3 spiciness and I could handle them in moderation. I don't handle spicy foods too well these days. They're very accommodating in asking about your heat level and creating the dishes accordingly. Our niece, whose university graduation we were celebrating was thrilled that they had mango sticky rice dessert made with coconut milk, since she can't handle dairy milk. We all got to sample the mango, as it was plentiful. All the portions were really generous. It was ultimately such a great experience that I'm craving more of that pad se-ew right now as I write this review. Guess I'll have to see what our local Thai restaurants have to offer. read more

A group of five had dinner tonight in the outside patio dining area. Service was prompt and accurate, surprisingly we found parking at the restaurant. Food was a B+ to a minus on all the dishes. We all shared, see pictures. If you're in the grass Valley Nevada city area this is definitely a place to satisfy your Thai Craving. read more

The staff is so kind and accommodating but the food just doesn't back up the enthusiasm of the staff. We tried the combo appetizer, pork fried rice, and barbecued beef. Out of those items the only standout was the crab rangoon in the combo, great flavor and perfectly cooked. As for the friend rice and bbq'd beef, we were expecting a crust on the rice and char on the bbq beef. We got neither. Both dishes had the look and consistency of boiled meat, and both dishes were damp not charred or fried. The flavor was good on both but the beef was very salty. All in all we came away as impressed with the staff but not the food. read more

I had a girls night out with some great friends. I knew this restaurant had new owners and wanted to try it. Between all of us we tried 6 different entrees. Every one of them were so good. I'm new to Thai food and have to say, I will definitely become a regular. The food was fantastic. I can't wait for summer with warmer weather to sit outside in their beautiful outside courtyard eating area. Definitely a five star restaurant. read more

This place is a gem in Nevada city. It's all Thai hospitality here. With the greeting and kindness of the staffs made my meal is wonderful. Parking is on street. They have patio for you to enjoy too. The chef and P' Nok are so kind to my mom as she ordered special dish that is not in the menu and they made it for us. We appreciate they cooked it for my mom. The plates her are so huge. They are worth the money you spend here. I will have my left over for lunch tomorrow definitely. Thank you so much. That is delightful experience visiting Nevada City at Sopa Thai Restaurant. read more

We loved the feel and look of this place while visiting for dinner. It has a cute outside patio. everything came out all at once. we didn't get a wow from it (flavor wise). For example, thought the fried broccoli and masaman could use more flavor ? We did have quite a few dishes that were good! Service was nice and friendly, thank you! read more

Stopped in for dinner and were seated outside in the lovely garden area. Our party included pure vegans and absolute carnivores. Helpful server answered all our numerous questions regarding the menu. He even obliged taking our picture. Most meals were fresh and tasty. My granddaughter enjoyed vegan drunken noodles. I enjoyed some of the best chicken pad Thai I'd ever had. The sauce made the dish delightful and spiced to perfection. We also ordered yellow chicken curry. This dish was disappointing. The potatoes were undercooked and the sauce quite watery. The beef salad was great. Thin slices of beef mixed in a spicy dressing with fresh greens. The Panang curry was also ordered and met expectations with tender chicken and a sauce spiced perfectly. Next time we are in the area, we will definitely stop in again. read more

The best date night spot downtown,especially under the lights in the courtyard.Good prices and great food. Not sure what to get? The curry puffs, fried calamari, and Pad Thai are guaranteed to make you happy! read more

Sometimes slow service - but always amazing food! We love sopa :) definitely sit outside if u can

Before going to Sopa Thai I did not have good thoughts about Thai food at all. After going to this restuarant I am now craving it more! The restuarant is super clean and all the staff is very accomodating! I CANNOT WAIT to go AGAIN & AGAIN!!! Thank you for making Thai Food so YUMMY!! read more

There is nothing worst than waking up the next day and regretting you didn't send the meal back. After some bad experiences with the food. We thought, mabye it will be better. It wasn't. The outside area is so nice and pretty and the people who work there are lovely. But, the food was so bad. We got the fresh spring rolls and all that was in there was lettuce. The pad thai was grey and honestly inedible. We didn't want to cause a scene so we didn't say anything. Once again...we won't be going back and this time for sure. So sad. read more

Definitely a go-to spot whenever I'm in Nevada City for my annual Yuba-dooba summer weekend trip. Solid dishes and great service.

I really didn't expect to find great Thai food in Nevada city but this place was really good. Prices seem pretty normal but then when the dishes came, I realize that these are really good prices because the serving sizes are humongous and Rice is included. We ordered the barbecue chicken, which was delightful and the green curry with chicken, which was about two full servings And nice heat and perfect textures and spices. Surface was very slow, but extremely nice and accommodating I think it was slow because of the Victorian Christmas fair that's going on just had them mobbed. I will definitely come here again when I'm in town. read more

My boss picked up my belated birthday lunch today at my favorite place and it did not disappoint! It was fabulous and I felt like she got her money's worth as the portion was generous. Everything was so..........fresh! She noticed that the lunch crowd was lacking, though. This has always been our "go to" for special occasions and when ever we're craving it, so want it to be around for a very long time. I know there are lots of new places but this one is a keeper. Please check them out especially for lunch, you won't be sorry. read more

Good ambience and food, just not the best Thai food I've had. The cashew chicken was sweeter than I'd like and had no spice at all. The pad see ew had some overpowering flavor. Overall cute spot with a backyard garden for dining. Service was slow but good read more

Tasteless Thai Never had a Thai noodle dish so bland. Pad woonsen served without any sauce or flavors. No garlic no soy no salt no pepper Glass noodles were very dry and hard to chew. Dish included a little cabbage, carrot, mushroom. The typical Bean sprouts were absent. The only moisture was from the tomato. Dish was sautéed. The oil tasted off and the dish was oily. Bothered by flies buzzing on the patio Maybe other dishes are better but I doubt I'll try it read more

Came in on an early Sunday night during a holiday weekend. The restaurant was a little busy and the servers were rushing, but there were still plenty of empty tables. They were out of most beer choices so we ended with wine. We ordered the Tom Yum and spring rolls with prawns, the mango red curry, a spicy vegetable dish (Pad Phek?), and a green curry fried rice. We never received the fried rice. The dishes all came in a random order, the spring rolls arrived second to last. The spring rolls were pretty good, but they're the easiest thing to make; the sauces weren't that good. Every other dish was bland, even when we asked for a dish to be spicy. The curry tasted as if made with the Thai Kitchen brand curry paste you can find in the store, which is terrible. The Tom Yum came out Luke warm, served with a sterno that wasn't lit. The Tom Yum was over-seasoned with lime juice and under seasoned with spices. The only thing in the soup were some prawns, button mushrooms, and a couple cubes of tomatoes...that's it. Even the Pad Phrek was under-seasoned, despite it being spicier than the other dishes. Nothing had flavor, who were they making this food for? Geriatric people who think salt is too spicy? After no check-in from the wait-staff, no water refills, handing out the wrong check, we weren't even disappointed we never received the fried rice. Won't be going back, better Thai in Auburn. read more

- Locale Destination - It's on commercial st and York st in Nevada city. Ambiance: outdated, dingy inside, casual patio dining, old school Thai restaurant. Menu: wide - not just Pad Thai, but more expensive than typical Thai restaurants. Around $20/plate. Service: friendly Parking: street meter, very limited - Gluttony Expedition - Spicy eggplant: Unlike usual, it's not spicy at all! If you want "spicy", just ask! Big portion w lots of other veggies and rice. - Conqueror's Deduction - I think the operation system isn't so efficient and staff run a lot and work their butt off. Food is ok, but this town doesn't have too many Asian food choices. Not bad. read more

I rarely have anything negative to say about any Thai restaurant I've ever been. It's my favorite cuisine. Maybe it is a different regional cuisine that Sopa offered, but I didn't care for it. One of my favorite dishes is Pad Kee Mao (aka, "Drunken Noodles") which I ordered. It came in a sauce that I could best describe as Thai sweet chili sauce. I've never had it served that way before and hope to never get it that way again. read more

Great Thai food, very friendly service. Ate here with five friends, and every dish we ordered was so well-flavored.

My last two visits have not been great! I usually go when I am in town but tonight I was entirely unimpressed. I think they have forgotten, it's about quality, not quantity. The dish the waiter recommended could have fed 6 people and it was beyond bland. Very disappointing! read more

better check your to go order before you leave , they can't complete a simple 3 item order properly, home cooking my own rice

FIRSTLY AND VERY IMPORTANTLY: Don't use their website link from Yelp. It does not go to their website and takes you to other links/websites. I was caught out with doing this on my phone and ended up placing an order with a restaurant across the country. I have asked Yelp to take the web URL down. The gals who took our to-go order were super nice (once I realized I had not placed an online order from them) and had our order ready when promised. The food was good and was still hot enough not to have to rewarm it when we got back to our accommodation. read more

Great ambiance on the patio and delicious dinner for our birthday group. The duck salad and pineapple fried rice were so good

I hate to do this. I have loved Sopa Thai for so long. Sorry Robert. The food was not good. Except the fresh rolls were fantastic. We ordered for 6 people to go. The Panang curry had no flavor, the green curry was better. To top it off they force a 15 percent tip on to go orders over $100. It was just salt on the wound. I got robbed of $175 the other night. 0$ tip is what was deserved. This is my last time going to or recommending Sopa Thai. I have been friends of Sopa Thai for 20 years. I am super sad to write this review. read more
