So happy to have stumbled on this Thai spot in Clear lake! Beautiful waterfront views and a fun ambiance inside with plants and their giant leaves.
They have a good mix of traditional Thai dishes and a whole sushi menu, plus some lunch specials during the week. Overall the menu is little pricey but seems justified for a small family owned business. I got my favorite pad kee mao (drunken noodles) with chicken and my husband got the pad Thai, both noodle dishes hit the spot!
We went back for lunch the next day and I tried their tom yum soup and chicken pot stickers. The soup had good flavor and the pot stickers had a good consistency with handmade dumpling skins. My husband got Thai tea and a poke bowl which was very saucy - ask for the sauce on the side if you're not prepared for your tuna and salmon to be swimming in aioli.
So delicious! They have sushi and a lot of great dishes. And very many decorative elephants. What more could you want?
First off - Let me just appreciate that there is a Thai Drive-Through in Clearlake!!! Not even the Bay Area has that. That's how we have ordered and picked up delicious food at Kour Thai, in the past.
Today we went inside for the first time. We loved it, a super kind and welcoming family-run business.
We ordered the mixed appetizer plate, pawn rolls, tempura shrimp sushi rolls and - an incredible daily special - vegetarian pumpkin red curry.
Everything was perfect. The mixed appetizers came with potstickers spring rolls and pawn rolls. We had ordered another order of prawn rolls, but they were so good that it was lucky we had extra. The mixed appetizers also came with both a sweet & sour/mai ploy-style sauce and a really good spicy peanut sauce.
The sushi was made to order, per our exact specifications ❤️
Finally, the pumpkin curry was amazing - just the right spiciness - spicy, but not overpowering the flavor of the food. The pumpkin is kabocha squash - my absolute favorite. It was cooked perfectly - not overcooked, rich and delicious, served with beautiful, decoratively cut zucchini, long bean, carrot, cabbage and Thai basil.
The food service was friendly and efficient. The proprietor's family were hanging out at another table. We really felt at home . During the whole meal, we enjoyed lounging around inside this beautiful restaurant, with ceiling-height banana trees, colorful decor and a whole wall of windows looking out at the lake.
I can't wait to go back!
Really delicious! Didn't expect much from this place. We were visiting from Bay area and really really enjoyed our time and food here
How do I not have a review here 0.0
Easily top 3 restaurant in Lake County, and you'll often hear me say #1. Deng is amazing at everything she does. Always super nice. Yes, they can be a little inconsistent with their sushi sometimes, but every dish I've ever had here was perfect. I'm definitely biased towards this restaurant, but ask around. I've brought at least a dozen people to this place, and I always get the same reaction. People are blown away at how good the food is. Atmosphere is great, service is great, food is great. Prices have gone up everywhere so won't hold that against them.
Pleasantly surprised! In town for business. I had curry and the mango dessert. The gals were super sweet and accommodated my food allergies with no issues at all. Everything tasted great and good portion sizes. I'll definitely go back! Great view of the lake, took a nice walk down the pier.
We love this place! Great view of the lake, authentic, fresh flavors, great variety of dishes to choose from and nice people! This is a family restaurant for families. We don't live locally but make it a point to stop in whenever we are passing by on a trip.

Food and the view, plus the service. Amazing
Really delicious! Didn't expect much from this place. We were visiting from Bay area and really really enjoyed our time and food here
Tom Yam is awesome
Great service. Most friendly and nicest people. Thank you George.
Great food. The cost ends up being about the same as fast food for a family of 4, but it is better. They offer takeout if you feel like eating at home.
Amazing service, amazing food, amazing view. Will definitely be coming back!!!
Good food with amazing service
My favorite restaurant in lake county. They even have quality Sake at a good price. Awesomeness 👌
Like their sushi
First time here. Extensive menu. Very fresh ingredients. So many choices. So much food I was able to take some home. Will definitely go back. Portions large.
Poorest quality of food and service I have received. Anyone writing them a good review must be a Lake County native and has extraordinarily low standards. Servers hawking loogies in the kitchen while I was eating. Noodles were colors I’ve never seen before, no peanuts and no spring onion. Chicken was grotesque! Owner is rude and inconsiderate of their community to serve such muck. Kitchen Nightmares to say the least.

Love this place it has the cleanest restaurant and freshest food In this whole county. Keep up the amazing work I will always support this place they have always been the same as well not getting lazy with time like other places here.
I was very disappointed about the presentation this time. It tasted fine, but usually a beautiful presentation. I ordered the large mixed sashimi.
The big grab Everytime loved it.milkshake feeling thee yo grab more
Very cute place and everyone that works here is very sweet and attentive. Very yummy and a good price. Also, very quick service.
Thai food with sushi.
The sushi was great and the rolls are huge.
I thought that for the price it was not going to be impressive but I was gladly mistaken.
Honestly the best Thai food we've ever had. Their Green Chicken Curry, Panang Chicken Curry, Pad Thai, Pork Egg rolls, and Sizzling Beef are amazing, as is everything we've ever ordered from Kour Thai. The service is great too; the owners are really nice and always check in to say hello.
We've been going to Kour Thai at least once a week for more than five years, and have never had a bad meal. My brother and his family feel the way, and go there every time they are in Clearlake. It blows every other Thai restaurant we've ever been to away. It's on another level. Their food is amazing, and we are extremely lucky to have a place like this in Lake County. Highly recommend.
Still the best place to get sushi in all of lake county!!!!!!!
We happened on this restaurant for first time and was pleasantly surprised by the interiors looking outside the lake, the visitors, the docks and the boats. Service was nice and attentive. Food was excellent. We tried the Koi Shoi and it was so unique that it was interesting in a very delicious sense. We also had the satay and sashimi for starters and Duck Curry too for entree. Yummy stuff.
The best service ever, and the food is unexplainably delicious! All special ingredients with home grown herbs. It’s a must try out the recipes and all the food, you will not be disappointed!
I love kour Thai their food is the best.
For your out of town guests this is the place to dine in. The food is authentic Thai cuisine.
The prices are a bit high but eating with the view of the lake is awesome!
Dang is the chef from Thailand and George is her husband. Both are friendly and accommodating!
Best sushi around
Great seafood drunken noodles. Pumpkin curry always one of favorites! Great Lake views!
Good food, nice service, beautiful atmosphere
my brother and I ate here and when we finished eating the cook came to our table and asked how our meal was then asked did, we notice all the dogs at Redbud Park are gone!!! very creepy because there used to be several abandon dogs at the park every day and now they are gone, I can only imagine they are on the menu now!!! will NEVER go there again. I think she was serious!!!
Great Thai food. We eat Thai food a lot in the Bay Area and were very impressed with the food and service.
Love all their options, they even made me custom soup to go, one time when I had a cold.
The best Thai food we have ever eaten and we have been to many Thai restaurants. The staff is very attractive and friendly.
Had my birthday celebration here. The staff was awesome, accommodating and celebratory with us. The food is always wonderful. Highly recommend.
good green curry and sizzle beef plate. watch out for the 2 small white doggies when parking close to the gate.
not a fan of the sushi here, though I only tried one roll.
Most of my experiences were good. kinda smells funky in the entrance.
They have a lot of good Food and choices !

The curry was delicious! The service was good, and the people who worked there made us feel like family. They were so kind!
Excellent and fresh
Was open the following Thursday. Excellent service good Thai food and sushi all round. Glad we gave it a second chance. A great place to eat in Lake County.
You need to open during your posted business hours please!
Amazing food. Looks like a family-owned restaurant. We got the green curry, pad see eew, and crab fried rice. It was all delicious. Lots of veggies in each dish, very fresh, the tofu was cooked well, the chicken was juicy and tender. As good as thai from major cities. Would totally go back if we are in Clearlake again. The chef came out as was very impressed we had finished all the food.
Food was amazing service outstanding...

The food was pretty good. Nice spot to eat after fishing all morning.
Attentive, polite service. Yummy Thai food near the lake.
We had coconut soup and red curry. Both were very good. Thai iced tea was huge!
Did not get to eat or try anything because they are not open when the posted hours show!
Absolutely love this place, the best Thai food in lake county.
Absolutely amazing food! The service is great too beautiful atmosphere. My go to spot in lake county
A well good Thai food restaurant that is close to a beautiful lake, Red bud park:). Has good workers, good food; all worth the penny:). Good solo and a group:)
Always good food and nice people!
Great options. Wonderful flavor. Quick and friendly service.
I used the drive through, the service was good but gave me the food and needed my signature on the receipt witch was also handed to me at the same time. it's just a little difficult to deal with everything at once. They could have me sign the receipt, let me get it put away then hand me the food. That was my only complaint, they do a great job!
Best Thai around! And everyone is so nice.
Best restaurant in Clearlake, California hands down! Superb customer service and high quality cuisine. I highly recommend if you are hungry and looking for something out of this world to dine upon, visit this place 💕 💖 I made sure to leave a generous tip, as this place is every bit worth it. I'll visit here again, maybe with a loved one after Christmas 🎄. Also, the atmosphere was beautiful, they had a lovely tree, Christmas music in the background and my favorite Christmas song came on as soon as my meal was served, "Last Christmas" by Wham! This is a magical place! 🎆❄️☀️💃🕌🎵
Very nice people! Such loving and friendly smiles. The food tasted very fresh, and I appreciated their wide variety of vegetarian and vegan options.
Great food amazing service!!
Great food, excellent service and cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend the red curry.
This place is consistently excellent. Great Thai food. The sushi is very, very good too, which is really surprising to find in Lake County. One of the few truly good restaurants in the whole county. Recommended for sure.
Prices have gone up and food quality seems to have gone down not my favorite anymore
Go here if you like sushi, slight reduction in quality of some dishes as the general prices of goods have gone up... but still better than anywhere else in town
Very fresh and friendly service
Omg I love the deep fryer California rolls they are the best and the ppl there treat me like family!
Amazing food and hands down nicest people around. Service could not be better.
Just ordered some to go food with my two year old and they brought him a lemonade, steamed broccoli and prawns for free while we waited and made us feel right at home.
Been here dozens of times and it keeps getting better
Authentic Thai food at it's finest. Fresh ingredients, big flavor. Best Thai in Lake County. Honestly I've never had better curries in my life. One of my absolute favorite places to eat. Highly recommend.
Very good. Ordered a couple rolls of sushi and some Fried rice and we where completely satisfied. Excellent portions we will be back.
Thai food at it's finest. We had a huge selection and it was all great.
I would drive one hour to get their spectacular #18 soup. Location leaves much to be desired though it offers a great view of Clear Lake. Soup is always 5 star. Ask for additional fresh veggies!
Food was good, online states open for dine in but it's not, just the side window is open
Doesn’t say that this is to go orders only. Wouldn’t take order even though I was standing at the window. Dumb!!!
The owners are great. Food came out fast and was tasty! Definitely nice to have something other than diner food
Only takeout, did not go in or not ordered
Food is excellent highly recommend to at least try once
Delicious food and service
Excellent food and service. Generous portions. No dine-in at this point due to COVID-19
I got really bad food poisoning and all I ate was the sushi.
Love 🍣 chi tea
Wonderful food experience with a pleasant atmosphere..
Because of the pandemic, they are only doing takeout. Still excellent food and service. Highly recommended.
This place has bad food. The dish below that looks like leftover stew surprise, is sweet and sour pork with tomatoes, caned green beans and a soup broth. Yuck! . It taste like can soup and water. It's inedible. I never had sweet and sour that tasted like can tomato soup with water. Sweet and sour with canned green beans and tomatoes? The next dish being beef broccoli is equally as horrible. Taste like yesterday's cook broccoli and some stinky meat. Gross! . At a price close to $70.00 and a $10.00 tip to have food that smells old and taste just as bad is unnecessary. If you don't want to cook authentic Chinese food don't call it Chinese food. Thank you
I have been here multiple times and they never disappoint. I have had curry and sushi, not at the same time, and it always taste fresh and flavorful.
Never been inside just to go ....I'm looking forward to trying them with in house service!
Delicious, But sometimes the quality can vary drastically. One day it will be absolutely delish, and the very next day it will be sub-par. But overall i would recommend.
A little expensive but good stuff
Delicious!
The food here is so delicious. They make my dinner every Friday night. If you are in Clearlake eat here, you won't be disappointed.
Only place to get some great sushi and Thai food in Clearlake. Food is simply delicious. The indoor decor could use some modernizing but it is a cozy place by the lake. If you don't mind watching drug deals go down in the park.
Excellent Sushi here too, and the Thai food is great. My 15 year old daughter and I love Kour Thai
Great people
Fresh food great flavor good service
I love the food experienced an amazing time while eating in there outside dining area
Wow everything was so good. We had shrimp tempura sushi roll, drunken noodles(#53) and #33, I forgot the name. It was vegetables and meat in coconut milk with spices, peanut sauce, and Thai iced tea with coconut milk. When we arrived here we could feel the smells, the restaurant smelled great, the lake no so much... I wish we lived closer to come back and try more sushi. The drunken noodles here now taken 1st place for all the Thai restaurants I have been too. And the peanut sauce.... They don't give you a 1oz cup. You get a huge portion !!! It was thick and creamy, not watered down. Thai tea was strong and sweet and the coconut milk was 👌 The service was great, very nice and happy people here. Everything 10/10.
If you want authentic and delicious Thai meals, go to Kour Thai. Highly recommended + service is good.
In a day of lockdown, it's nice to be able to drive up, order, then come back and pick it up when its ready. Their food is usually very good. Thai Ice Tea yum
Not impressed
Excellent!
Great food
Sushi is not bad. Kinda pricey.. And they didn't give me much wasabi.. But for clearlake. It's pretty good
Have never been there. I was at the park behind restaurant
Love the food
The food was absolutely wonderful. Great service. First time eating Thai food and they explained all the dishes. Also gave us samples of foods to try. Clean and affordable.
Awesome staff and amazing food!
A+
Service was great and the view out the window is great too. Lots of parking and good food.
Great food
Food and service is great.
Nice and gentle atmosphere. Thanks
It was ok. Need fish sauce to make it authentic.
Not very authentic Thai food.
Service was good, larb was very salty
I wish I could eat there more often. When they were in Lucerne I was able eat there often. Dang is such an excellent chef. She cooks with only the freshest ingredients. I hope to eat there again, soon.
Service is the worst of all time, humiliating guests, removing food before it is eaten, yelling at guests the list goes on....absolutely horrible service for the past 10 years!
Food has improved, in fact, it is delicious, but sushi rice falls apart easily, and therefore, the sushi falls apart. Staff is nice and there is music on Fridays around 6pm. Usually it is a solo guitarist.
Love it
If your looking for out of this world Thai, this is the spot. Reasonable pricing and friendly staff. They make California rolls to order, the best sushi I’ve ever had.
It was a bad experience. They were running a special for Valentine's day that was an all you can eat buffet. But you HAD to order the special. That would be fine if they told you that before you sat down and were ready to order. The food was just ok. Not worth $20, even as a buffet. Then, the card machine wasn't working. As a millennial, I don't carry cash. And instead of warning people before they sat down and had eaten, they told me when I was getting ready to pay. After telling them that I had to leave to go get cash, I was interrogated about how they knew I would actually come back. Very poor customer service!
Good service everytgmhibg was great
WE WENT AT 12 / AND WE WERE DISAPPOINTED / THAT SUSHI WASN'T ON THE MENU UNTIL 2... THE FOOD WE ORDERED WAS BLAND... WE PLAN ON GOING BACK ONE DAY... AFTER 2 OF COARSE...AFTER THINKING ABOUT THIS RESTAURANT A LITTLE BIT / HUMANS HAVE DIFFERENT TASTES / THIS RESTAURANT JUST DOESN'T APPEAL TO US...TRIVIA: I REALLY ENJOY SUSHI...
Terible
Delicious
Very good food and a great view.
Good food.
Had lunch there this week with a friend. What a wonderful experience!! Food was delicious, very fresh veggies, large menu, lunch specials. Fantastic service. Lake view from dining room. Recommend without reservations.
Wasn't impressed/ bland food/can't order sushi until 2/...
Great tuna. Great food. Nice area, very useful and helpful.
I love the choices in the curry dishes. Nice bay windows facing out to lake shore.
The wait staff is rude and took my money I accidentally dropped. And when I went back to get it she played dumb.
