Tucked away in a neighborhood shopping center is one of Sonoma County's hidden gems, Bangkok 9 Thai Cuisine. Don't let the location fool you; this cozy restaurant serves fresh, authentic Thai food in a warm, welcoming atmosphere with friendly, attentive service that strikes the perfect balance. I ordered the Lunch Favorite with Chicken Pad Thai, Fresh Prawn Rolls, and a Thai Iced Tea. The prawn rolls were incredibly fresh, filled with crisp vegetables, perfectly cooked prawns, a hint of mint, and served with a delicious peanut sauce. The Pad Thai absolutely delivered, perfectly cooked rice noodles tossed with chicken, egg, bean sprouts, fresh vegetables, peanuts, lime, and a flavorful tamarind sauce. The assortment of house-made chili sauces let me customize the heat with every bite. The Thai Iced Tea was the perfect companion, rich, creamy, refreshing, and exactly what you want alongside flavorful Thai cuisine. As I enjoyed lunch, I couldn't help but notice the steady stream of regulars dining in and takeout orders heading out the door. That's always a great sign. If you're looking for authentic Thai food in Sonoma County, Bangkok 9 deserves a spot on your list. Fresh ingredients, generous portions, warm hospitality, and consistently flavorful dishes make this an easy recommendation. Sometimes the best restaurants aren't the ones on the busiest street, they're the ones quietly serving exceptional food, one plate at a time. Bangkok 9 is exactly that kind of place, and it's one you'll find yourself coming back to again and again, rating this a strong 4.8 stars read more

The Thai food was absolutely incredible!! Highly recommend this place. We got the yellow curry dumplings and the pad Thai and they were both so flavorful!! read more

A romantic Thai bistro tucked away in the corner of a shopping plaza. There's a romantic vibe with mood lighting and clean settings and menus. We got the khao soi and shrimp pad thai. It's a relaxed environment so we enjoyed conversation while waiting for our food. The Thai spice level on the pad thai was perfect - it's on the spicier side but that's how I personally like it. Service was wonderful and kind as well, especially with many customers coming in to pick up to-go orders. read more

Yesterday, while still stuck on a soft diet for another 12 hours (temporary crown after the prior, older one broke) and hungry for something that wasn't yogurt, I decided to try Bangkok 9 for a late lunch, thinking something with noodles would fit the bill. The dining room is clean, cozy, and comfortable, and they had some featured specials, but I went for the tofu Pad Thai on the regular menu. It was delicious, and there was enough for me to pack some of it up to go home with me for later. My server was very kind and attentive. I need to add this to the list of places to go when I'm out doing errands (which I was yesterday) and need a meal in the midst of it. read more

We were staying in the Sonoma inn and wanted to get some Asian food. This place is cute. The owner here is so nice. She knows how to do business. For the food, everything is averagely good. I wouldn't say anything is particularly good or bad. But it's definitely on the expansive side in comparison to a lot of Thai food in SF. read more

The food was delicious. The staff was a little on edge and slow. Thankfully I was with good company. ;)

The food is very authentic and full of great flavors. The service is also exceptional!! We go often and everything we have tried has been delicious read more

Food was very good! Really enjoyed my pad Thai with prawn. The prawn were juicy. Also the Thai spice level was perfect. Hot enough but not super spicy. Great flavor overall. Only downside is there aren't a ton of workers so the wait time was a bit and there were a lot of people standing around waiting for there to go orders. Would eat again and if you like Thai you should give it a try! read more

The venue is beautiful and clean. Staff friendly and attentive, however, the food is average and it took very long to be ready even though the restaurant had only a couple of other tables besides hours. I loved the fresh avocado rolls that came with my spicy noodles special but the noodles did not feel very special just regular. I would've given 3.5 stars but it doesn't allow me to - this is strictly my personal opinion of someone who eats a lot of Thai food and is very picky. read more

Ordered lunch to go for a work group. Massaman curry was my favorite, pad-se-ew was average. Beef & broccoli was more Chinese than Thai but a nice portion of broccoli. Fried rice was mediocre. 6 of shared & nobody raved about anything we ordered. read more

Great tasting food with reasonable portion sizes. The prices are average for this area. The cleanliness of Bangkok 9 is amazing. I can honestly say that I've never dined in a cleaner restaurant. read more

Excellent, fresh Thai classics. I'm so happy this place is close to my house! I picked up some pumpkin curry, pad thai and fresh rolls tonight. Very satisfying, tasty and spicy. I definitely recommend it. Though I usually get take out, the dining room is nice too. read more

My 94 year old mom loved the food. Can wait to go back and try more items. The place is super clean with a nice ambiance, the wait staff is ok not as attentive as I would have liked, but very pleasant. read more

I always call ahead of time to pick up my order and they say 15 minutes and it ends up being 30 minutes. The food is great but the service needs to improve. read more

This place kinda breaks the heart. The food is beautiful and tastes good, but it'd be very overpriced even if they didn't skimp on protein portions. Only restaurant where I've actually paid extra just to have an adequate portion of meat or seafood. The service is friendly, the atmosphere is nice enough. If they get even moderately busy orders take a super long time. If you're picking up on a busy night don't get there till 15 minutes after when they originally tell you your order will be ready. read more

For lunch my daughter had set her mind to eat Thai food. We didn't have much options within the area with great reviews. Glad Yelp had 4 star for this restaurant. We ordered Thai prawn fried rice and prawn chow Mein. Both the dishes were good and came with the side of salad. I loved their salad with peanut sauce. The food was delicious and service was great. Staffs were wearing mask and the restaurant was clean. Overall great experience. read more

Bangkok 9 - Vegan pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Sonoma, California

These prices have gotten out of control. Tiny overpriced portions of slimy chicken and 2 slivers of cucumber. This is laughable, I can't believe a place like this stays in buisness serving this garbage. Just because there is no other options. Jesus this is so bad. read more

Bangkok 9 is clearly a winner when it comes to that typical hidden Thai restaurant in a shopping center. I had waited years to visit Bangkok 9 and I feel completely guilty doing so quite honestly! Upon arrival during a cold winter day, we were greeted with smiles from a wonderful couple (Owners I assume). As for the restaurant, small, but very quaint and welcoming in terms of decorations (Although I rarely complain about adornments honestly). We were promptly seated and given our menus, which presented your typical Thai food options. Price point was very fair for a lunch meal, easily under $12 per person. Thai Tea and egg rolls to start it off, which were delivered quickly. Thai Tea hit the spot on all notes, but the egg rolls were just an okay experience, a tad bland to be honest. Mains were delivered later on, those being the Chicken Param and Yellow Pumpkin Curry. Portion wise, an easy 4 out of 5, but taste landed a 5 out of 5 for both dishes! Really could use another visit soon! read more

Delicious pumpkin curry w/chicken! Ordered in so can't speak to wait staff or setting but food was quite good for take out!

Good local restaurants. Curries are our go to here. Grab some ice cream next door after!

The service and food was great! Will return in the future and recommend to friends and family! read more

The pad see ew was horrific, it was like a bunch of clumped noodles sitting in a pool of liquid. The noodles are clumped and we're not stir fried like must be done. I'm actually offended this place thought this was proper and with the prices they charge here i'm totally offended. The red curry was watery and was like a soup and did not have flavor. I'm shocked. The servers were nice though. read more

Excellent food. High marks on the quality of ingredients, service and flavor. The food is represented very well; they take pride in their offerings. The food is even better as leftovers as the flavors have a chance to settle and grow into each other. I think in sum, the food is a fresh and tasty. read more

The to go order I paid for was missing Crab Rangoon. I called and let them know. The server seemed irritated and short. She said they would leave a voucher for the crab Rangoon on their wall for me to pick up. I went in this evening and the server seemed confused and did not find any record of a voucher. She told me the owner is out of town for two weeks on vacation so there's nothing she can do. read more

The food here has always been good but they seriously need more waitstaff. The owner basically tries to run the show own his own but his service is lackluster. He is always forgetting the basics like refilling water and brining items out timely. The high school aged boy who does 'to go' orders is always having to help out the tables because the owner is so slow and can't be found so customers end up waving down the 'to go' person for help . Their bathroom sink is broken. I turned on the water to wash my hands and was sprayed with cold water into my eyeball. It seems they have recently implemented an additional convenience tax to credit card users which is unfortunate. read more

Bangkok 9 - Reminder to decrease your designated tip by 3% - Thai Near Me - Sonoma, California

Wanted to eat early because didn't have lunch. Went at 4:30. They said back at 5:00. Okay. Also had a sign out front on the table advertising sticky rice with mango that sealed the deal because we both love that. Went back. Ordered a couple of entrees and an appetizer. The food was very good, however, the one with the little pepper next to it yellow curry wasn't the least bit spicy, so I guess you have to ask. Ordered dessert. No sticky rice no mango. This despite a TV screen continuously advertising sticky rice with mango now in season. Wait person seemed put out when we ask her why they have the ad running and then they don't have the food. We wouldn't have waited and then come back if we'd known. read more

Food, service, and ambiance are great!! I love the ribeye steak curry with rice and the spring rolls are perfectly crispy. They have so much variety it's hard to choose. Definitely stop here for a weekend or weeknight dinner spot. :) service was great as well. They are ALWAYS fast and efficient. read more

While looking on Yelp for Asian restaurants in the area, I stumbled upon this gem over in Sonoma. Looked over the menu and saw a few favorites, sold. Within an hour we called to make a reservation and were on our way. Based on the pictures we thought Bangkok 9 was going to be feel more upscale so we got a little bit dressed up, wrong. B9 is super casual with a large take out business. Really it's a neighborhood Thai place where you can come in for a quick bite or linger over a bottle of wine. Speaking of wine, we generally bring our own wine and pay corkage. Corkage is really reasonable here, I think it was around $10. A pretty good deal if you ask me. The menu was largely your typical Thai dishes, satay, curries, etc. So we looked for standouts, the dishes that keep you coming back. We found a few dishes that we absolutely loved starting with the Yum Woo Sen. A salad of glass noodles mixed with chopped shrimp, herbs and peanuts in a lime dressing, so light and so incredibly refreshing. We also tried the green papaya salad, also perfectly fresh and well prepared. Our server brought over a tray of 3 chilies, chili oil, paste and a fish sauce with lime and chilis, all were so good. The stand out was the later with bright acidity and super spiciness which took both salads to the next level. Entrées included a large portions of deliciously moist and tender BBQ Chicken, Spicy Noodles also known as Drunken Noodles, and our new favorite Pineapple Fried Rice. Segments of pineapple, raisins and sliced chicken in curry flavored rice, will order this one every time. If the regular menu isn't enough, there is an off menu specials board that has dishes like Stuffed Chicken Wings, Fried Calamari and Spicy Duck Basil. We were sadly disappointed with the Stuffed Chicken Wings, I didn't like the interior texture, was way to squishy, sort of like an undercooked egg roll filling. If you're a fan of bamboo shoots the Spicy Duck Basil will hit the spot. For me, I can't stand bamboo shoots so this dish was dead to me, no fault of B9s. We ended our meal with their killer Fried Bananas. I love that they used a more puffy batter to coat the banana nuggets in. The contrast of textures was so satisfying, golden brown and crispy on the outside fluffy and creamy on the inside. Drizzled with honey, these really hit the spot. Here is the menu we put together on our visit. Course 1: Stuffed Chicken Wings (off menu) Course 2: Green Papaya Salad Yum Woo Sen Course 3: BBQ Chicken Spicy Noodles with Beef Spicy Duck Basil (off menu) Pineapple Fried Rice Dessert: Fried Bananas with Coconut and Pineapple Ice Cream We left Bangkok 9 full, happy and looking forward to another visit soon. read more

Ordered food to go from Bangkok 9 a few weeks back, I have been there many times in my 10+ years here. My most recent meal was by far the best! Very authentic flavors, less sweet than in the past. I was very impressed and could not wait to write a review. Fresh & delicious!!! read more

Ordered takeout from here for the first time. All in all, the food was fresh and the kitchen (from what I could see from the counter) looked clean. The pad see-ew was maybe the only item I found fault with - the noodles were all stuck together and super thick (2x the width of normal pad see-ew noodles). But the flavoring was all good, the spice level was spot on to what was requested. I saw some of the reviews commented on the scant portions which is a fair comment. For my family of 4, we usually are full after 4 dishes plus rice but after this meal, everyone was still left with a bit more room in their tummies! read more

Everything we ordered for takeout was fresh and delicious. Standouts were Tom Kha, veggie egg rolls, chicken coconut curry.

We were evacuated from home because of the Kincade Fires. Our friends let us stay at their home while they weren't vacation. So, we were hankin ' for Thai food. We found this restaurant. Looking at the menu, it reminded me of our Thai restaurant in Windsor called Khum Koon's menu. The was exactly the same and it was just good. Worth going back when we are in Sonoma. read more

My favorite Thai restaurant in Sonoma! Their food is delicious and always tastes fresh. I supported them a lot during COVID because of their delivery service. I order takeout at least once a week. read more

Ordered here on a Monday night while visiting Sonoma since most other restaurants were closed. Order all vegan spicy noodles, pad se ew, cashew tofu and pineapple curry. Food didn't look super great opening the to go containers but flavor was actually pretty good. read more

I really like Thai Food and Sonoma only has 2 Thai Restaurants but it's just getting too expensive. Their new lunch menu is $22.95 - 25.95 for a simple small portion lunch. used to be $7.50 !! outrageous!!! Not their fault because the price of food but just can't afford $24 for a 6 piece appetizer $16 and a beer $6 not including tax and tip and if you don't pay cash they tack on an additional 3% fee. Outrageous!! read more

Bangkok 9 - Appetizer and Beer $24 - Thai Near Me - Sonoma, California

Bangkok 9 provides solid Thai food in Sonoma. Hidden away in a strip mall, Bangkok 9 has adapted to COVID with take-out and limited outdoor seated dining. Staff is friendly and accommodating even during the trying times of the pandemic. Somehow they smile with their eyes, so you know they are genuine, even behind their masks. The chicken satay was moist and tender with a peanut sauce that was both spicy and sweet. Pad see ew was a little oily, but delicious nonetheless. Hot without being overly spicy, the green curry was spot on. Thai in Sonoma? Bangkok 9. No doubt. read more
