Mango Sticky Rice
Ari M.

It's been unseasonably cool lately, which tends to put me in the mood for something warm and a little spicy: thus, Thai! I was visiting my friend in Napa and this restaurant had the dual benefit of being close to her place and near Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, so we could get dinner and grocery shop all in one go. We got there right at 5pm when they begin serving dinner and there were already people there picking up or making to-go orders which seemed like a good sign. I'll cut to the chase: this is a no-frills restaurant with decent food--nothing spectacular. To begin, we ordered thai teas and a papaya salad to split as a starter, which was fresh, crunchy, and had a nice amount of heat. I felt the portion of the curries was fair, but the curry itself was a bit thin. It wasn't the best Thai curry I have ever had, but also not the worst. We finished off with a mango sticky rice that had a deliciously ripe mango, though the rice itself, while a little dry, wasn't too sweet and overall the portion was generous and definitely enough to share. Now for some areas of improvement: our white tablecloth was stained despite, again, being the first pair to sit down for dinner service (the restaurant closes between 3:30pm-5pm if I recall correctly from a sign) and there were ants on the wall next to our table and subsequently on the table itself. I have eaten at much, much grungier restaurants so really the hygiene was not all that bad. However, despite there being only 3 tables in total, it seemed like the owner/employee was eager for us to leave? Before we had finished eating our curries he came over to ask about boxes and gave us the check before we could order dessert! This was a Thursday night, so I worry what the service is like when they're really full on a weekend. Would I eat here again? Idk. There are other Thai places in Napa I would want to try first. Everything was just fine.

Pineapple fried rice came with a cherry but not a single piece of pineapple.

Ordered pineapple fried rice and Tom kha gai for takeout . The pineapple fried rice had not a single piece of pineapple but had an array of other stuff but hardly any flavor. First time seeing a cherry in fried rice too. Tom Kha Gai was underwhelming, was hoping this was gonna be a simple hole in the wall with good food and it's just a hole a whole in a wall with no flavor. On to the next Thai place.

Very tasty stir fry and red curry with shrimp, full at lunch. Generous portions. Definitely definitely go back

Although I appreciate this place being one of the few options for Asian cuisine in the area, the food tasted so bland for my liking.

Stuffed Chicken Wings: aokay! Wish they had sticky rice to serve along side.
Alexander C.

What a sweet little find. Located in a small strip mall on Trancas this unassuming spot is dishing out tasty Thai cookery all served with a welcoming smile. On a side note, this strip mall is surprisingly busy as at lunch time so parking can be a bit scarce, just be warned. Being new to Thai Kitchen I ordered a few different dishes to get a feel for the place. Please see below for the items I ordered along with some tasting notes. Thai Iced Tea: I loved on this tall glass of yum pretty hard, to the point of almost ordering a second one. Creamy and intensely flavored, this is a classic must have beverage. For some it might be too sweet, so order a glass of iced water so you may dilute to your liking. Stuffed Chicken Wings: really good. Making these is a laborious process of removing the meat and bones from the wing, all while not tearing the skin. The meat is mixed with glass noodles and other ingredients which are stuffed back into the wing, breaded and deep fried to perfection. My only wish is that they served sticky rice along side, Thai Kitchen doesn't offer sticky rice as an option. Thai BBQ Chicken: moist, juicy and flavorful. The dish came with a sweet and vinegary dipping sauce along with a steaming mound of fragrant rice. The sauce reminded me of Thai Original BBQ Restaurant in Las Vegas, so many delicious memories. Thai Kitchen does serve beer and wine so Im looking forward to having dinner there really soon. Sweet whites pair amazingly with spicy food, one of life's many little pleasures. Can't wait.

Wait, I was seriously not considering this place to be an excellent choice for Thai food since I'm…read moresuch a Thai food snob. I ordered the drunken noodles that I always do to test Thai Restaurant and I was blown out of the water, the noodles were wide delicate and perfectly cooked. They were the right amount of them. They had fresh Thai basil, tomatoes, green beans, onions, bell pepper, egg and and perfect seasoning. My sister wanted Rad Nar, which was not on the menu, but the waitress explained to us that basically it's the same thing as duo garlic with green bean chicken with fabulous flavoring. She did not want rice and so she ordered rice noodles instead she thought it was delicious. Best sauce ever. Restaurant is absolutely beautiful and the staff are all superb. Highly recommend.

The food came out pretty quickly and was a good portion size. Everything is very saucy which I like. I enjoy my noodles with more sauce. I liked that they had a special on the pad Thai. It was a soft shell crab pad Thai with shrimp. Their sauces tend to be on the sweeter side and may get overwhelming after you eat half of it. The batter on the crab was not my favorite but I still ate it. They offer a sweet and sour sauce and a salad dressing (white) sauce that tastes similar to Japanese salad dressing. The waitress offered us friend garlic for the duck and it was delicious. I also loved all the hot sauces they brought out for us. I'd definitely come back here!

This restaurant focuses on a minimalist approach to decor and a maximum approach on flavor…read more Located in the Napa area, it's just far enough outside the immediate downtown that much of the clientele are local regulars rather than tourists. There's limited parking in the area, but it can be tight. We had a reservation for a late afternoon and the restaurant was getting pretty busy. I would definitely recommend reservations during peak times dinner hours. We were pleasantly greeted and had an opportunity to walk through a very cool bar area. The restaurants surrounds a courtyard, which would be lovely in warmer weather. Just beyond the courtyard you can see from just about every area of the restaurant right into the kitchen, which is always fun. Without any surprise, there's an extensive wine list available as well as a fantastic list of mixed drinks and mocktails. Every dish was amazingly flavorful with attention to every detail. As visually beautiful as all the dishes tasted. Everything was made with quality ingredients and flawlessly executed. I'm not sure I have enough adjectives to describe how wonderful a dining experience this can be. Highly recommend that you find your way to this tucked away gem.

It was a hot day in June, so we ordered iced lychee black tea with chrysanthemum. It was very refreshing! We shared the yellowtail sashimi, banh nam, cellophane noodles, and shaking beef. Everything was flavorful and delicous! I enjoyed it all and services was prompt and friendly. Worth a stop if you want to try Vietnamese food in a pretty atmosphere.

Is there chicken larb, mango sticky rice, sticky rice, & Thai ice tea. The picture doesn't do the size portion justice, it is well worth the price and each portion size is enough for two people or more. I'll definitely be a returning customer! (P.S. I had DoorDash this and it was so good. I felt motivated to jump over here to Yelp and write this review)

I had the Wagyu Ka Prow and the Bangkok Noodles w/Chicken. I eat Thai food several times a month from Las Vegas to everywhere West Coast. This is by far the BEST Thai food I've ever had, anywhere! The beef dish was bursting with flavor and the basic came through nicely. The noodle dish however, was out of this world! A blend of yellow and red curries with a generous portion of crispy chicken on top?!? The chicken has an almost sweet batter which plays well with the savory curry. It's the best thing I've had in over 5 years. It's beyond amazing! The staff were all super friendly and wonderful. I forgot to get my servers name. She's Thai and was wearing colored contact lenses. She actually picked my entrees for me. Excellent picks! My water never reached the bottom. They always checked in on me and were all outstanding. I'll get her name next time. YES, I'll be back. The restaurant is in a strip mall setting. It's spacious and clean. No complaints. Buddha Thai Bistro has everything I like. Great food, superb staff, plus it's clean and comfortable. Just fantastic.

*** Vegetarian Review ***…read more None of their dishes have fish sauce so you don't get knocked over the head with the smell when you walk in. They remind me every time I order, but as a vegetarian, we've all had that fish smell delivered to us at a Thai restaurant at least once (probably twice, more likely three times) in our eating lifetimes. It is such a relief to not have to worry about that here. Would I Come Back? Yes, when I'm in town, I make it a point to come here. Did I mention they don't use fish sauce!? Parking is is incredibly easy so that's never an issue. It's a shared parking lot with many stores and other restaurants. I typically go on a Sunday for lunch, and even with a party of 5, I haven't had to wait for a table. Seating capacity is probably 45-50 guests so if you're planning a large party, definitely best to call ahead and make a reservation. The Food: Roti & Yellow Curry ($14, Grade A+): Fried roti with a yellow curry dipping sauce. It's a super savory dish, and honestly, I should have had you at "fried." If you're wondering what roti is, think of it as a buttery, flaky, pan-fried flatbread. It's large enough appetizer to share with 3 people, but you're pushing your luck with 4. Pad Thai with Fried Tofu ($16, Grade A): I've had this dish 5 times now. To be completely transparent, it's the exact reason why I can't give Pearl Thai a full 5-star rating, purely because of consistency. The first time I got it, it was perfect. The second and third times, it had no sauce and was dry. The fourth time, I asked them to make it saucy, and they obliged to an almost soupy level. For this fifth time, I just ordered it straight up and zipped my lip on any alterations. As they say, the fifth time was a charm! When it's made with the perfect amount of sauce, this dish is excellent. The noodles have that exact texture you look for in a pad thai, and the egg gets that great scorch from the wok for an added layer of flavor. Also, the tofu has been incredibly fresh every single time. It never tastes slightly spoiled, which happens a lot in smaller towns that don't heavily support plant-based diets where tofu just sits in a fridge eagerly awaiting someone to order it. Mixed Vegetables ($14, Grade A): Sautéed wood ear mushrooms and mixed vegetables in a garlic soy sauce. If you've ever had Pad Pak, you already know this flavor profile. I really enjoyed it, but next time I'll ask for no carrots and maybe half the garlic. Overall, it's a perfect dish that absolutely requires steamed rice to soak up all that great flavor. Sweet Sticky Rice with Mango ($8, Grade A): The classic dessert we see at all Thai restaurants, but they serve it with purple sticky rice, making it a visually yummy dish. It's plenty of food to share between two people. Bottom Line: The service here is great and very friendly. It's a small, local shop with "Best in Town" awards highlighted on the walls. The environment is clean, and the food is served hot and arrives at the table quick. One Last Word: Don't leave here without ordering the roti with yellow curry for an appetizer. Pure savory goodness!
