Licensed and Insured, Family Owned and Operated, 10 Years of Experience
Ended up going here twice in one vacation it was so good. It’s located off the main highway, don’t let this scare you. The owner works hard and they have amazing food. We’ll be back on our next trip. We sampled the yellow curry (pictured), veggie pad Thai and see ew chicken.
This hidden gem on the coast is a well kept secret by the locals. This restaurant started decades ago in downtown Fort Bragg and eventually moved to a bigger, more accessible location near the Pine Beach Inn. The menu features authentic family-style Thai dishes and delicious Thai tea. Don’t miss it!
Delicious! I came here based upon recommendations and was not disappointed! I got the lemongrass soup with prawns (everything was fresh and flavorful!), a green curry pork dish (so good!) and a Thai iced tea. Not only was the food yummy and authentic, but the woman running the place with the help of her daughter was as friendly and sweet as could be! I’ll definitely be back whenever I’m in the area. Also to note: dine-in is not available at this time but you can have a seat while you wait for your order if you don’t call it in first. My order was ready in less than 15 minutes. Everything was excellent!
Wow! Authentic Thai food. No joke.
The head chef is from Thailand. We had thai salad, spring rolls, lemon grass soup and veggie curry. All fresh ingredients and delicious. Price good to.

Worst Thai food ever, do not recommend . A flavorless bowl of needles without any seasoning or fresh vegetables
Open for carryout only
We didn't eat here, because it's carryout only.
I had put down a star rating to be able to write this and let everyone know.
Great find, great food. Opens for dinner to-go. Good menu choices. Owner is very busy taking orders and cooking. Extremely nice. I would recommend you try.
Take put only. The Penang was delicious. We also had the Yellow Curry and the Pongkari.
You wont get more authentic Thai food than this. The curry tasted like somebody's grandma's family recipe

Best Thai food outside of Thailand!

Vegan friendly and a good value.
This is the best Thai food I’ve had in CA. I used to live in Thailand and this place is truly authentic and so so delicious!
The best Tahi food in town by far. Orders are to go only currently, but super worth the drive. Everything is delicious and I have trouble picking a favorite from all the options. Some of the kindest people work here, and I cannot wait to visit again.
Muy buena comida, lo recomiendo 👌 👍
Best Thai food in our area. Been great for 20 years. 2nd generation
Exceptional. First time diner! High quality ingredients (real Sockeye Salmon) in the Three Flavored Fish dish (stellar). Beautiful shrimp in the noodle dishes. Generous portions for both the large rice and slaw. Be skeptical of any review that questions whether this place is “good.” This place isn’t “good” it’s yummy spectacular. — Loved it.
Great homemade real Thai food. The owner is so personable! Loved the whole experience!!!!
Great food.
I've eaten at Viraporn's more times than I can count and every time it was nothing short of amazing. All the flavors in her dishes are so perfectly balanced and married. I love every dish I've ever tried here but the Tom Kha Gai has to be my absolute favorite. I could live on it. Viraporn is so sweet and the general atmosphere is comfortable, although I've most often gotten takeout. When I first came here I remember feeling like it was a hidden gem because it's location seems tucked away a bit. Now that I've moved away I miss the food here terribly. I find myself comparing all other Thai food to her cooking here and nothing ever quite measures up. You're one amazing lady. It's so good!
Great food. Friendly staff. Always busy!
I look for every excuse I can to go eat at Viraporn's Thai Cafe. When they were in town in Fort Bragg, and I lived there, I would be there twice a week at least. Her style is very very fresh, bright with flavor, and light. I've eaten Thai food all over the world, and I will forever come back to her, and her daughter now, as the best of it. I've seen her daughters since the time they were 8 to 10 years old working with her learning this art. Her younger daughter now runs the restaurant. Hands down the best Pad Pet King Gung, chicken Penang, and steamed spring rolls on earth.

Worst service I have ever received at a restaurant. There was 2 other tables,we ordered appetizers and after 45 minutes the waitress never came back for our main order.talked to the owner when I left and payed.told him what happened he didn't even apologize. Would give a -3 star if possible
I am a local and this is the best Thai food in the area. The food is consistently good and the service is outstanding.
Virporn and her family provide great cuisine for the north coast. We are so thankful. All dishes are have unique flavors. The lemongrass soup is perfect!!

Best Thai Food I have ever had! Coconut rice with shrimp is my favorite !
AMAZING!
Loved the pad thai and mixed vegetables. The spring rolls were delicious. Very good customer service.
Buena comida y atención no abren todos los días
We loved having such tasty tea, salads and curry served to us by Viraporn herself. Can't wait to bring you our 🐝 Bee Hunter Wine 🍷 to see how well the delicious food pairs with our vineyard selections! Thank you so much.
Thaiiii
loved the spring roles
Great food
The lemongrass soup---wow! The pad thai---wow! The...ANYTHING...wow! It's the real deal. You will need to access this place by going west of Pine Beach Inn via their access road to units at the back of the hotel. This run by a woman from Thailand and she knows exactly what she is doing. Tastes like home cooking to me---yum!!!
Very tasty, busy, and family run. Super decorating. Clean and fresh. Loved the fried bananna. Very reasonable.
Great food! Service is wonderful!

It may be excusable that it is difficult to source Thai ingredients at such a remote location, but the technique isn't there either
Food was bland and tasteless. Felt more like a stir fry than a Thai curry, very dry to eat with rice.
first off there was 1 person there other than us and it took about an hour. second they messed up our order. 3rd
it was so descusting. 4. the service was pretty great.
Sooooo good
Great Thai food and very nice staff.
My favorite place! I always get way too many spring rolls and try to get something new each time! I go whenever I can!
Best thai food from Portland to San Fran! Period. End of discussion. Outstanding service! Long live Viraporns!
Quite good, authentic flavors
I have eaten at many Thai restaurants, especially around San Francisco. But this is simply the best I have ever found! Their Thai Lemongrass soup is spectacular! And they have some of the best curries I have ever tasted! Add to the quality of the food their lovely setting and the real family atmosphere, and you will find yourself coming back many times, as we have. I wanted to go tonight, but sadly, they are closed Tuesdays! Too bad....
Viraporns has consistently been a really great place to satisfy our craving for Thai food. One of the best restaurants our coast has to offer. If you are from the city, it will no doubt not measure up, but it's good food and a nice environment - take a stroll down to the beach before or after dinner and enjoy!!
My cousin, a local for 40 years, says there is nothing better in the Fort Bragg - Mendocino area. Being from San Francisco, we thought it was nothing special.
The food wasnt good. Service could've been better.
Excellent Thai food, curry, pineapple rice, spring rolls, and chicken satay! I go there often and it's always delicious. The reason I go there more than other places is because it is quiet, you don't get overwhelmed by other peoples conversations because it is in a large building.
