I came a week or so before the fires! Yikes! I hope they are able to rebuild/reestablish but am happy to hear they have some pop up opportunities for now!

Kevin G.

The service is enthusiastic however it seems like they could be short staffed since our server kept apologizing for taking so long. We found the food to be on salty side which challenging. Perhaps more rice would have helped.

What an absolute west county gem. Where to begin. I've been to Baso a few times solo for lunch and finally got to go with a group the other night and try all the things. Everything is incredible. They have fun side drinks with some of the dishes (tea, broth) and I love the added touch of thoughtful plate ware. If you're looking for authentic elevated chinese inspired dishes this is the only spot. 11/10

Clay Pot Rice - one of my favorite dishes ever!
Kat H.

BaSo is THE hidden gem of Sonoma county. Their Asian-inspired menu is creative and inspired, the owners and staff are amazing and the food is spectacular. They're up and running and creating their magic even in their temporary space, so check their calendar and prepare to be impressed. I can't get enough of their clay pot rice (comes in a steaming hot pot that crackles when the sauce is poured over it. You stir it up - scraping the sides/bottom to scour up the delectable crispy bits, and swoon. Be sure to add their homemade chili crisp (and take a jar of it home)! Their Zhong dumplings are also to die for - nothing on their menu disappoints. Don't miss it!

Smashed cucumbers, dumplings and Sui Mai

We had a large group and had an amazing time at Bazaar Sonoma. Super friendly staff and everything came out in a timely manner. The food was incredible. Unique flavors with the classic style of Asian dishes. I can't wait to come back.

Silken Egg with Tomato and Cucumbers
Kitty L.

We ordered silken egg and tomato and the fish eggplant and siu mai and cucumbers for appetizers, and every dish was very authentic and delicious! The silken egg is like a savory custard and was very tasty! The servers were very helpful and friendly!

Whole fish
Nicole B.

A solid choice for dinner in Forestville area. Wins were the savory, eggplant and the tender and flavorful beef rice bowl. The night we went the dumplings were tough, the lamb skewers chewy, cucumber salad bland and the whole fish was overcooked and under seasoned. However others in our group had better experiences with other nights so maybe it was an off night for us.

While visiting my sister and her boyfriend in Forestville, we enjoyed a fantastic dinner at Boso. The food was delicious, the service was wonderfully chill, and the relaxed atmosphere made for a perfect evening with a couple of glasses of wine.

Glad I got to try here with a friend today! We weren't too hungry so bought some stuff to go. While there - we got the lotus root, the lamb skewers, and the fish (sole) to try. The lotus root was savory and crunchy, I liked it paired with the wood ear mushrooms. The lamb was juicy and the rub on it was yummy. My favorite was the fish. It was cooked well and the pickled greens were a great addition. We scooped pieces up and ate it over rice - scrumptious. The ambiance is quirky and reminds me of an Asian night market. It was busy; the staff were friendly and attentive. Looking forward to trying the Taiwan pork and the pea shoots dishes I got to go! Also looking forward to future events by the chef!

Vegetarian clay pot with rice, tofu and mushrooms.
HOLLY P.

Oh gosh this place is soo good. You have order inside and they bring the food out to you in a cute outside sitting area. My friend and I shared some zhong chili crisp dumplings, which were delicious. There were plenty there that could've made a meal in itself, but we did each order an entrée. I had the vegetarian clay pot which had a very flavorful broth with tofu and rice. The being having a fantastic char at the bottom that I just don't think you would get with food to take out. I had the barley tea which was actually cold over ice. It was tasty, but it also was very weak that I could barely taste the barley flavor. My friend ordered another glass and it was stronger for her. The customer service was excellent and the prices were fair. It's such a cute town that I don't visit very often, but I think I will now that I know Bazaar Sonoma is there.

I stopped this place randomly. Initially, I was skeptical but decided to give it a shot! I am glad I did it. Their Zhong Dumplings were on spot! The only thing I would like if they were more spicy. But that's my personal preference. I really liked their Xinjiang Lamb Skewers! They blew me away with juiciness and great seasoning! Their Baso Siu Mai were ok, but I ate them after spicy dumplings and Lamb skewers so don't take me on it fully. And finally, their hainan chicken rice was amazing finish to all above mentioned appetizers! This place is definitely great and worth to check out. I was initially confused with style cuisine before I look at menu. I thought it was Korean but menu resolve the issue right away. I dropped star only because of ambiance- it kinda looked typical Chinatown dumpling but that was all. They need to add some decor and it will be good. Service was amazing.

Menu

Sonoma County needs a gem like Bazaar Sonoma (BaSo). Chinese food is my favorite cuisine so I had to come check this place out! Upon arriving, I was greeted with a warm welcome, offered menus and seating anywhere. The restaurant is a L shape with the left being the bar and the right where all the seating are. We found a little table, chose our dishes, went up to the counter to order/pay. We loved the Japan night life scenery playing on the TV. We noticed some pre-packaged foods for sale (ramen, sunflower seeds, cookies etc). Though the menu is small (for now), it consists of cold dishes, made to order dumplings, noodles and rice. Dinner is the same menu as lunch though I was informed upon asking that next week they would feature new soups and stews! Our Chrysanthemum tea came arrived first. For dishes, we ordered the won ton noodle soup, Zhong Dumplings (spicy) and the Jai vegetable dumplings. It was enough to share for the two of us. Zhong Dumplings is spicy with a hint of sweet. The Jai Vegetable was more muted so we dipped those into the Zhong sauce, worked out well! The won ton soup was a big bowl of egg noodles, pork & shrimp dumplings. It was so appetizing and a perfect dish for a cold, winter's day. I love the traditional Chinese menu but with an innovative twist. This is not your typical Chinese American restaurant. According to the owners they are inspired by the concept of family meals, food they grew up eating in China, as well as regional Chinese cuisine based on Szechuan recipes. I cant wait til they are fully up and running with a full dinner menu because I will definitely be back! BaSo, you have won over my taste buds..and my heart.

I've been waiting for a restaurant like this for this cute town! Finally! From the beginning, the staff was very welcoming, hospitable, and personable. It was dinner time and they had a special that I couldn't resist especially when the girl at the counter said it was her absolute favorite. I don't know what it was called, but it was delicious! It's like a Korean stew with cheese and can feed 3-4 people. The rice cakes were perfectly chewy and went so well with the tasty sauce. The meat could've been cooked a tad more, but it didn't take away from the yummy dish. It also came with a flavorful rice and an abundance of kimchi and a picked radish. Can't wait to try the other dishes! So happy to have Bazaar Sonoma in Forestville!

Does this restaurant have beer and wine?

Nothing official that I saw. We were celebrating a birthday and called about corkage which didn't seem to be an issue. When we had talked with them they were working on getting a license tho I don't know the timeline on those

I was by myself, so I sat at the Ramen bar where I got to watch where the magic happens. The layout of this place is a little on the odd side. It's a narrow, but long space and if you come in from the town square then you have to walk more to the center of the restaurant to find the host station. I like that it has a covered patio, and lots of bar seating, booths and tables. The service here was very good. Laid back but also efficient. I ordered the Spicy Tantanmen bowl and added Kara-age chicken to it because I wanted to try it. First, it's such a beautiful looking bowl of food. It's not too spicy. I would give it a 4 or 5 out of 10 on a spice level. I loved all the flavors and textures here. The broth was spicy, fatty and deliciously savory. There is both a thick piece of pork belly and crumbled pork meat in the bowl along with charred cabbage, mushroom and lots of scallions. I did add the Kara-age chicken because I wanted to try it and an appetizer would've run me $16, but I just added a few pieces for $3.50. It is delicious, fried chicken pieces that add a nice touch to the dish. It doesn't really need it, but I loved it so I do recommend the chicken anyway! I can see why Ramen Gaijin has been here for so long and I hope it stays for many years to come!

The host was a little confusing with the seating options because there was a lounge and bar that is open that is first come first serve if you can get a seat? Not too sure but we ended up just waiting for a table. The menu didn't have too many options but we got the karaage, gyoza, and spicy tantanmen to share. The karaage was good, nice and crispy and the aioli that came with it made it better. The gyoza was good but on the smaller side. I would get the karaage over the gyoza. We ordered the spicy tantanmen but it took a really long time for it to come out. Although it was busy, we noticed other tables that were sat before us still havent received their food either. Not sure if it's because it was friday night but we ended up getting our ramen eventually. The ramen was good, nothing too crazy about it, don't think I would pay $23 for it again.

It was a little loud and noisy, but that's common in any busy restaurant We went with some of the standards. I had the curry noodle soup with chicken and my friend had the yellow curry rice with chicken. Both were served quickly, very hot, and presented nicely in large bowls. We enjoyed what we had quite a lot. I felt that it was a nice blend of richness, fresh vegetables, and I always love it when things are served piping hot, which was the case this time. Service was prompt. The restaurant was clean and it looked like all the people who were sitting in all the seats were enjoying themselves, so this is another popular spot from the restaurant tour who brought us sea Thai. This is a great addition to the local Asian cuisine offering. If you haven't been stop by, give them a try. I expect you'll love what you have Sorry, no photos, but there are plenty available online.

She was unapologetically and blatantly rude and cold, and nice only to the white guests in the restaurant. Pressured us to order within two minutes of when we arrived. No niceties or pleasantries. Food was dropped on our table without a word and without any regard. The fried rice was a soggy mess with more chicken than rice. We asked the younger server for extra rice showing her how little rice the fried rice actually had. She said "well that's because you ate it". !! Then she got a small bowl of white rice but charged us for it later. The entire time that we were in the restaurant, we could not think of anything else to talk about because of the extremely unwelcome vibe from both the servers (I think they also own or manage the restaurant). The saving grace was that they reminded us of our shopping bag that we forgot at the restaurant. I feel sorry for both the women - they must be really dissatisfied with their lives to treat customers this badly, without any provocation. Unfortunately many customers have experienced the same treatment, as seen in the other reviews. Towards the end of the meal I had this conversation with the older woman server, almost verbatim: Me: You don't like Indian people? She: Some of them. It depends on the person. Me: We felt extremely unwelcome since the moment we walked in. She: Okay

We started with the lentil soup and it was SO good, especially on a rainy day. Warm, comforting, and full of flavor. We also ordered the aloo gobi and added tofu which was absolutely delicious. This is honestly some of the best Himalayan and Nepalese food I've had in a long time. Since then, I've gone back and tried the garlic cheese naan filled with chicken. It was yummy but could have used a bit more flavor on its own. Dipping it into the aloo gobi though? Perfect combination. Super friendly staff, excellent service, cozy atmosphere, and flavorful comforting food. Definitely adding this spot into the regular rotation.
