Diner Review №1

I can't rate service or atmosphere, as I had delivery, but the food arrived piping hot, well-prepared, and with wonderful flavor. Will definitely be eating here again!

Diner Review №2

I had the spicy chicken salad. Chicken was tender and juicy. The dressing was delicious. My daughter had the yellow curry and said it was excellent. This was my 4th time eating there. Can't wait for my 5th time!

Diner Review №3

To much money for the small portions of food

Diner Review №4

The food was bland and my online order was made incorrect. I agree with others that their pad Thai isn’t the best. Noodles all stick together and don’t have flavor.

Diner Review №10

I often get take out from here and the food is always exceptional!!! The quality is great & the flavor amazing!! They have great papaya salad, tom kha & my favorite is the red curry!

Diner Review №11

Ordered the basil pork. The flavor is good. The only thing was there was a lot of pepper powder on the food and it has a kick to it. Some parts of the pork were not cooked well enough but that is also how Thai food is made (quick and fast on a wok) Enjoyed their food. thank you

Diner Review №12

It’s more of a fast food thai restaurant. You order via QR code on the table or at the counter. You sit and they bring the order to you.
Inside had about 4 tables. Outside seating on the patio were more. Nice vibe.

Pad see ew had a very bbq smoky flavor. Nice to see it with different veggies than normal. It had mushrooms.
Papaya salad had a bit too much fish sauce. I would recommend to get the dressing on the side.
Yellow curry was great. It had taro and potato carrots.
Chicken satay was typical flavorful.

Diner Review №14

Amazing traditional grilled thai meats. Don’t miss their grilled pork! Curries and noodles are good here too, but the standout is for sure the amazing grilled dishes

Diner Review №15

A great place, with good if unsophisticated flavors, nice place to sit outside, friendly staff

Diner Review №16

Great food

Diner Review №17

Not the freshest plate in town ,
Look elsewhere !

Diner Review №18

I love this place I always get the BBQ chicken with fried rice and medium or mild depending on the day. The soups ar delicious also as well as the prawn spring roll.

Diner Review №19

Vegetable pad khee mao is THE BOMB! Great spice level, the giant noodles taste homemade, and the vegetables are very fresh, varied, and perfectly cooked. Have ordered this twice now and it is killer. So aromatic and rich but not heavy. Please never change it! ❤️
Also love the red curry with chicken and pumpkin curry.
I ordered through Petaluma Food Taxi. Thank you! 🙂

Diner Review №20

I have never eaten at any Thai restaurant like this. It's so wonderful

Diner Review №21

First time dining here, not fancy just few tables inside and few picnic tables outside. Saw lots of takeout orders being done.
Ordered
Veggie Crispy Rolls - $8
Silver noodle, cabbage, shiitake mushroom, taro, carrots with sweet & sour plum dipping sauce.
Rolls were crispy and taste was good, not sure if sauce was house made.
Chicken Satay - $10
Grill on skewers marinated chicken in spices and Thai curry powder, served with peanut sauce and fresh tangy cucumber salad.
Chicken was tender and really liked the cucumber salad, thought the sauce was ok, unfortunately not best I've tasted.
Pad Thai - $17
Wok-fried fresh rice noodle, tofu, egg, bean sprouts, chives & crushed peanuts.
Opted to not add meat or additional tofu since it already comes with it. Liked flavor, could have used more chives/green onions and crushed peanuts, seemed a bit dry but liked it overall.
Spicy Basil - Chicken $17
Fresh chili, garlic, bell peppers and basil leaves served with fried egg and choice of steam rice, fried rice, or sticky rice.
Ground chicken stir-fried with fried rice, peppers, basil, eggplant and a fried egg. Taste was good.
Thai BBQ is worth a try, tastes differ from person to person, the staff is friendly and nice.

Diner Review №22

Each time I order, there is over 30 min wait from the requested time of pick up. Why set a pick up time? And the samosas have been removed from the menu. Recommend if you have lots of time to wait.

Diner Review №23

It is a small restaurant, so I recommend reservation. Everything we ordered was well seasoned and tasted great. We had a very good time.

Diner Review №24

The pad Thai tasted very bland!!
The noodles were all sticking together in one big ball. The veggie crispy rolls were crispy, but borderline greasy. Will not be returning.

Diner Review №25

I love this restaurant, it's a favorite. I've been a regular since it opened. My top recommendations are the chicken salad and the sticky rice dessert. The chicken noodle soup is also good.

Diner Review №26

Probably the best Thai food I've ever had. The crab fried rice is wildly good. Pineapple fried rice with beef was 11/10. Super nice folks.

Diner Review №27

Very delicious highly recommend.

Diner Review №28

New favorite place! I rarely do reviews but they deserve 5 stars 🤩 the food presentation made us feel like we just had lunch at a resort. So delicious!

Diner Review №29

I love this place! I used to come here during my lunch breaks when I worked just a few blocks away. I have relocated but every time I’m in the area I take the opportunity to eat at this Thai BBQ restaurant!
Food has an appealing look, it’s always fresh and consistently delicious!
I’m at this restaurant as I write this review and I just can’t wait for my food to arrive 😁

Diner Review №30

I was visiting from out of town so can only speak to my brief experience.
Got the pineapple fried rice to-go. Was ready quickly and still nice and warm when I got it back. The take out container is very flimsy, but the food itself is some of the best I've had. Would come back next time I'm in the area for sure!

Diner Review №31

Great service. Wonderful staff!

Diner Review №32

Diner Review №33

Unassuming restaurant with excellent food. Have returned 5 times in last month. Best in Petaluma hands down.

Diner Review №34

Best Thai restaurant in town!! Ordered the papaya salad, pad seew, and Tom yum soup shrimp! Highly recommend this place.

Diner Review №35

The two of us came in for a late lunch on Sunday and were the only ones at 2pm.
Everything we ordered was delicious: papaya salad, chicken satay, and barbecue pork. Large portions, fresh, and quick.
We’ll be back when we happen to be in the area.

Diner Review №36

Insane pad Thai. Delicious spring rolls. My go to place for Thai.

Diner Review №37

This is our new favorite restaurant in Petaluma. I stumbled in a week ago with a friend and have been back twice. The mixed barbecue plate is perfect for a couple or small family to share.

Diner Review №38

Wonderful food. Personable and pleasant staff. Downside was it was difficult to find as only a small sign was on the front

Diner Review №39

Good food good prices 👍 I always get the bbq chicken salad 👍👍

Visiting family in town and this place has hands down the best Tom Yum soup I’ve ever tried. Great curry as well, and the service is amazing as well. Highly recommend this Thai restaurant!

Diner Review №48

One of the best pork BBQ I tasted. Second to none!

Diner Review №49

Good food but incredibly slow service especially given the price. Placed an order for 4 items and it took 75 minutes.

Diner Review №50

Diner Review №51

Oh, the combo BBQ platter! Marinated meat happiness. Subbed the cucumber salad for the side, and it was great. Expensive at $40, but a very large helping of the 3 meats, and all of them very good.

Diner Review №52

BBQ Pprk was dry and bland...
My Pad Ke Mow, however was amazing!

Diner Review №53

Fantastic Thai restaurant! The interior, though small, is stylish and welcoming. The staff are exceptionally friendly and attentive, and service was fast and accurate. The food is great! We tried a wide range - Tom yum soup, crispy spring rolls, chicken satay, pad Thai and the large bbq combo. Everything was fantastic. This is our new go-to Thai in the Rohnert Park / Petaluma area.

Diner Review №54

Food was good, you get your money worth.
Had to take some home. I like the new order/QR thing, pay it first and not think about it later on. Finally, had some good Tom Yum soup. I love going to places, where the goal is to, "get your grub on!"

Diner Review №55

Great food!

Diner Review №56

this is the best thai food i have had in sonoma county. fantastic service, way above average.

Diner Review №57

Good but expensive for a quick lunch.

Diner Review №58

There were about 30 flies in the restaurant that all were landing on the food at our table. We were dining in and the only guests. The staff didn’t seem to care about the flies. There was a sticky fly paper covered in many more flies.

Diner Review №59

Muy bueno para venir con la familia y hasta mascotas , agradable lugar para comer bbq

Diner Review №60

The chicken is to die for! I also love the cucumber salad and the sticky rice with mango. I could eat this everyday!

Diner Review №61

Delicious food, clean restaurant, and courteous service!

Diner Review №62

Love it! Our favorite from when we lived in Petaluma, now we drive down specifically for this place. The sauce they give with the bbq beef is amazing!

Diner Review №63

We live in San Rafael and my sister live in Santa Rosa. The only place we always agree to go for the best Thai Food is Osha BBQ in Petaluma. We always pick the Special Large combos! The meats just melted in your mouth😊👍
everyone their always welcome you with smiles!

Diner Review №64

Excellent Food, Friendly Service and a really good value. I left with a Full Belly and will look forward to experimenting with their other menu options !!! Well worth a visit...

Diner Review №65

I'm not exaggerating when I say this is the best Thai food I have had in the US! It's tucked away and inconspicuous, but the food is absolutely to die for. Had the large BBQ combo, pad thai, and Tom Kha and our other group had pad se ew and spicy basil. Everything was absolutely to die for. Will be a new staple moving forward!

Diner Review №66

Great food and service!

Diner Review №67

Diner Review №68

Great addtional to Petaluma

Diner Review №69

The service was horrible!! Don’t order food to go at the this restaurant. Unless you want to be forgotten about. I ordered my food at 12:07. A bbq chicken salad. She said 15 minutes so I left. I went back around 12:20. This lady walks in after me and orders a full lunch. Her hot food comes out before mine! She’s halfway done before I get my food. They obviously didn’t even put my salad in until after she got her food. I owned a restaurant for 7 years. I know how it works. Wasted my entire lunch waiting for a salad and was late getting back to work. And the decscriptijn said spicy tamarind dressing. There wasn’t a single bit of spice.

Diner Review №70

I love this place in SF. Super excited they came to Petaluma. The food is just as good as their location in SF. Best Thai in Sonoma county.

Diner Review №71

While reading the reviews is noted that this is the Sonoma branch of a successful SF main restaurant. I hope I get to try the SF restaurant in the future since we really enjoyed our meal in Petaluma. Visiting from our of town and we don't have good Thai food from our neck of the woods. Service was prompt and polite. The indoor area is a bit claustrophobic since customers have to walk through to order at the counter in the back. Great food, but be warned that the food is spicy. We ordered medium which is fine at many restaurants but here it meant hot so I think hot here would be volcanic but probably not atomic. Sticky rice and green papaya salad in addition to the BBQ was delicious and I got my mango with sticky rice fix! Definitely recommend.

Diner Review №72

Simply delicious!!! One of the best Thai food we have enjoyed in Sonoma County!!!

Diner Review №73

Diner Review №74

Great service

Diner Review №75

THE PINEAPPLE RICE IS THE BEST HERE !!!

Diner Review №76

Great Thai BBQ and big plates. One plate is big enough for two.

Diner Review №77

Diner Review №78

Prices are very high, I was expecting much more. Pad Thai was dry and yellow curry not the right flavor. Crab fried rice is good but hardly any crab. I did like the crispy rolls though.

Diner Review №79

I ate too fast to take a photo but the bbq chicken with papaya salad is fantastic. This is a great and quick mini version of Osha. Fantastic service and easy to order online in advance.

Diner Review №80

I have tried many menus in this restaurant for a week. Food was great and everyone was kind. Great place. I will visit again

Diner Review №81

We live in Rohnert Park this place is in Petaluma. We tried to call to see if we could put in our order for takeout but they never answer the phone. We went anyhow got there and they said they were too busy to answer the phone and it would be 45 minutes before we could get our order. Definitely was not very happy.

Diner Review №82

Great Thai restaurant specializing in Thai BBQ.

Diner Review №83

Truly some of the best thai food I have ever tried. Excellent customer service and prices are reasonable. I highly recommend this restaurant 👍

Diner Review №84

Our first time ordering food from this restaurant. Ordered Pad Thai, Pineapple Rice, Yellow Curry, and Thai ribs. All the dishes looked incredibly fresh. We only ate half of the food we ordered as take out. Everything was delicious. The restaurant was immaculately clean and the staff was wonderfully pleasant, constantly smiling. We will be back to try other dishes.

Diner Review №85

I have eaten here on numerous occasions, and the quality of food is consistently above average. Service is good.

Diner Review №86

Delicious and hot delivery! Can’t wait for the yellow curry again 🧡

Diner Review №87

Delicious, quick, and easy! The friendly people who work here are so nice. Prices are great too. We enjoy coming here pretty frequently since it’s so convenient.

Diner Review №88

Diner Review №89

Great Red curry.

Diner Review №90

Amazing food and very friendly staff, seriously the best thing we experienced while in Petaluma. The pad Thai was beyond great, and I was shocked at how tasty the somasa's were. Great job!

Diner Review №91

Great place. Super friendly staff, amazing food on nice places (ceramic, no plastic even for outside) and a nicely decorated outside seating arrangement. Probably the best restaurant I've found on McDowell Blvd

Diner Review №92

Fantastic. More limited menu than other spots but all tasted great. Try the lamb chops.

Diner Review №93

Flavorful and fresh ingredients at a great price. Plenty of outdoor seating. I saw it's also dog friendly, which is always a big plus for me.

Diner Review №94

Diner Review №95

Very good food and service!

Diner Review №96

Nice service and excellent food

Diner Review №97

Best red curry I’ve ever tasted! So fragrant and perfectly seasoned and spiced! Thanks for recommending the purple sticky rice to compliment this dish. Who couldn’t use a little more purple in their life?😂 I’m traveling through town but will absolutely return whenever can! 😋😋😋

Diner Review №98

Diner Review №100

My favorite restaurant. Love the food and service

Diner Review №101

Diner Review №102

Delicious food, good service. Spare, modern decor is clean and pleasing but not "romantic"

Diner Review №103

This was great food, so delicious!! You won't be disappointed!

Diner Review №104

Diner Review №105

Clean modern atmosphere with outdoor seating. Some of the best THai food I’ve had in a while. Egg rolls were definitely some of the best!

Diner Review №106

I just found this place near my work. I am always happy when a new eating choice opens up.

They said they opened only two months ago, but they seem to have their act together and the operation runs smoothly.

I ate lunch outside in what I hope will be a permanent patio. None of those cheap tarps here, nice umbrella's and redwood tables.

The best part is the food, as it should be. Very nice wood serving plates and the food is unusually fresh.

I had the BBQ pork with fried rice. Really good Thai flavors. There was a cold pasta and lettuce salad that came with my entree, that also was very good.

I'll be back often!

Diner Review №107

An absolute find. A fantastic experience in every way!

Diner Review №108

This place is delicious!! We got the chicken pad Thai & BBQ beef, and they were both 10/10. Beef was super tender & flavorful. Great service, portion sizes & indoor & outdoors seating areas. This will definitely be a new go-to lunch spot!

Diner Review №109

Very good yellow curry - I will be back!
