This is my go-to for late weekday lunches. Great family. Open in the afternoon. Flavorful, fresh, and nutritious.

Service was odd, we came in and it was take out only. They seemed a bit annoyed we came to order food and contribute to the success of their business? They were out of flat noodles which was a bit annoying. BUT nonetheless the food was great, wonton soup was delicious, the Pho was good enough and the salmon was delicious. We'd go back! We'd also recommend for an easy meal on a lazy night. read more

I love Thai food and try it whenever I travel. This place is by far the best Thai food I have ever had. So amazingly good. read more

Kitti's Place - Empty plates. Best Thai food ever. - Thai Near Me - Sausalito, California

The food is not so good here to put up with the appalling customer service. You would have to go a long way to find a server who had less interest in their job or respect for the customer than here. Make your day happier by eating somewhere else. read more

At nearby Fish there was a line 3-persons wide extending far past the front entrance. Are they dropping tour buses there or what? So, we hoofed it until we found Kitti's, with an outside patio (like Fish) but without the bay-side ambience or prices. Kitti's outside patio is in front of the restaurant, abutting a parking lot. Chairs are plastic and tables are covered with oil-cloth throws; it's very casual but clean, not dive-y. The menu skews towards Asian/fusion but has all sorts of other things in there to throw you off balance. We led with fresh spring rolls, I had a Chinese Chicken Salad ($10), and my friend had Fish Tacos. See, what are fish tacos doing on an Asian/fusion menu? Still, all things sampled were tasty enough and it was nice to be able to enjoy it outside in the sunshine after a big hike. Others have remarked that this Chinese Chicken Salad is very similar to that which Comforts (San Anselmo) is renowned for and they are correct. It is remarkably similar. The rest of the food was good, like the salad, but nothing that had me jumping up and down. We finished and walked back to our car and those suckers were still lined up at Fish, waiting. Sometimes you just want to eat lunch NOW; Kitti's was the perfect solution. read more

We came here around 1:30 ish and the place wasn't too busy. We wanted a table outside for 5 people and the waiter set it up pretty well. The food was okay. Price is ok ok ish. There's bad reviews about customer service here but the servers are actually very nice. There's one lady with the "resting bitch face" but she's actually not bitchy at all. They seemed like nice people. They even gave us free lychee fruits as dessert. 4.5/5 read more

Great food and service. Kitty's is a gem!! The lettuce cups and chicken salad are my favorites.

No papaya salad!!! Omgosh!! That's the main reason for going to Thai restaurants, we're visiting from San Diego, this is not a a formal restaurant, it's more like a fast food place. You order at counter, and they'll bring to you, they have beer though, menu is a bit limited. We ordered about 5-6 different items and all were actually great, several different soups, pad Thais and coconut soup, oh and a "pho", and as appetizer, we ordered the "lettuce cups" they were great, it was 7 of us, each lettuce cup order is a three item order, they were awesome and added two bonus cups for a total of 8 cups!! 4 ordered the Thai tea, they were actually pretty strong, but the 3 kids enjoyed them, the service here was awesome and made an additional pitcher watered down with coconut something, either "milk" or water, we were absolutely catered to. It's a little mini strip mall place but worth coming to. We enjoyed our visit. read more

Stopped for lunch last week. Owner was rude. Service as poor. Expected authentic Thai cuisine. Got poorly conceived Americanized copies. What a disappointment. read more

It's the worst pho I ever had. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. And the store looks not too neat to stay. read more

Kitti's Place - Thai Near Me - Sausalito, California

There's really only two things to know about Kitti's place: 1) the food is pretty good 2) the owner/chef is an unhappy person who is not pleasant -- at all -- to customers. I've been a few times and she's always curt, rude, and acts like she's doing you a favor. Times are tough and I understand the stress, but there's equally good Thai food in the area without the attitude. read more

At first, I was excited to try my favorite soup from this new place I came across while visiting the area. After picking up my order of Tom Yum soup (main ingredient being mushroom) I ended up ordering from a different Thai restaurant to satisfy my craving because the Tom Yum I ordered from Kitti's place came without the main ingredient-the mushroom. There was a heap of veggies that I appreciated but without the mushrooms I'm thinking "what's the point?" Not sure if I'd ever try this place again. There's nothing worse than being disappointed in the process of trying to satisfy a craving. read more

Awesome pho - the best in Marin. And this is coming from a Vietnamese. Nice family business as well read more

Relaxing into our chairs, we bask in the North-bay sunshine, savoring Thai-California fusion foods. This is a smart meeting of genius minds. The salmon salad with fresh blueberries, cherries and greens is inventive, healthy and crave-worthy. Basic stir-fried veggies with brown rice is beautifully flavored and lightly cooked. Thai iced tea is mixed to perfection. Friendly staff who don't appear to resent us for occupying outside seating for a two hour lunch add to the relaxing experience. Melty girls having lazy conversation over exquisite and unpretentious food. If that's what fusion is all about, I'm all jazz. read more

We love Kitti's for takeout. Delicious food and always friendly service. Our go to dishes include shrimp Pad Thai and any of the noodle options. Yummy soup, chicken satay, shrimp rolls and inventive specials. You can't go wrong. read more

I am very happy..... I think the consensus of the office is that they are happy too!! Which is always good after lunch to work with a "bunch of happy people" I ordered the Chinese Chicken Salad... In a word.... FANTASTIC. A co-worker ordered Pad See Eew (which should be renamed Pad See YUM). It is a combination of flat rice noodles, stirred fried with your choice of chicken, tofu, or prawns, Chinese broccoli, egg, black bean garlic sauce..... Looked and tasted amazing.. The portion control was out of control... Another co-worker ordered the lettuce cups.... the verdict is still out since she hasn't started to eat them yet... but I did sneak a taste and they tasted good to me... (I personally think Ping's in San Rafael, has the best lettuce cups) read more

Best pad thai EVER. And the chicken salad is killer, too. Kitti is always working, thus the semi-strange hours. I believe her mother does a lot of the cooking. The energy is very calm and positive, and Kitti always offers soup if you have to wait at all. Portions are huge - I eat a bit light but mine usually ends up being 3 meals. I swear if my husband and I suddenly could not get their pad thai we would go through withdrawals. Did I mention the pad thai?? My friend claims the green curry is the best, too. read more

The BEST Pad Thai I've ever had. And the price is right. It's full of flavor, and yet, after half a dozen visits, I've never had that unsettling 'rumbly in my tumbly' feeling that can sometimes follow experiencing the cuisine. The service is second to the food in terms of being conventionally friendly, which is fine with me! You can tell that Kitti takes pride in her cooking, and her efforts do not go unnoticed. Note: I prefer takeout to dining in. Kitti makes sure that your food stays fresh, even going as far to separate the won tons from the soup to keep them from getting soggy. read more

The real reason I haven't reviewed Kitti's Place earlier is because it's secretly our favorite restaurant in Sausalito, and it's one of those hidden secrets that only the locals know about and return to regularly. It's one of those quaint little places that we kind of don't want to get too popular, if you know what I mean. But really we owe so many delicious nights to Kitti's that, well, they deserve it. There's nothing on their menu that I've had that isn't fabulous, but I have a weakness for the Param Pak with chicken... few Thai dishes quite hit the spot like their Param Pak... But really, everything is good. Why? I'm convinced it's because they really do cook with Love. I consistently taste it in the food, and that must be what gives it that magical quality. The whole place is family run, and they are so warm and sensitive to their patrons that they even recognized us by our voices when we once ordered take out over the phone! The service is not just friendly: we feel like sincerely honored guests whenever we go to Kitti's. Kitti's is a must visit for vegetarians and Thai lovers who are looking for something new. If the Thai fish & chips is on the specials menu, and you're up for something totally different than what you might expect, you must try it. It's out of this world. The fish tacos are also something unexpectedly delicious. Bring your sense of daring and an open-minded palette when you come to Kitti's. I've never had dishes like they make them anywhere else. It's a one of a kind. The only thing that I don't totally love about Kitti's is the echo inside. Solution: eat outside by their fountain. Just please leave a table for us when we come. read more

I've eaten here several times and every time I find something new I really like about the place. The Weekly Soups are my latest. Last week was Winter Melon and this week's is Ham and Hominy (did not know what that was but it sure is good). They manage to make each soup have a distinctly unique and stimulating flavor. I'm a soup-hound so this really appeals to me. I can see myself doing some soup take home on a regular basis. The freshness of the ingredients they use combined with the way they mix the spices and seasonings really grabs me. Very good food for foodies imo. The best Pad Thai I've tried in Marin so far. This place is a real find imo and I highly recommend making it a regular choice. They have the variety and are always adding new specials. A small local restaurant in a small community like Sausalito needs to stay interesting and compelling. Kitti's Place does just that. Indoor and outdoor seating.. read more

Okay, I feel bad doing this, I usually only write positive reviews, but this one I gotta write ... Just had lunch here and it was awful. Had Pad Kee Mow and it was utterly and completely without flavor (well, good flavor). Asked if it was spicy and they said it was. It even has the "*" warning on the menu, so I was hoping it would really be Thai hot. It tasted like it was out of a can. Asked if the chicken was white meat and was told they only use breast. What came was ... ground chicken? Hmmm, never seen that before. It certainly didn't taste like it was all white meat and it tasted off on top of that. The "spicy sauce" that I asked for after I discovered it was not spicy at all, was like a tomato paste with a few bits of ground pepper. Lastly, the young woman who served me was unfriendly. I feel bad about this review but I felt I had to do it. I tried to call the restaurant after the meal to tell them that I thought the meat tasted off and the phone number goes to a fax machine? Oh and the dish was $14. read more

Ugh. I've never been so disappointed with Thai food!!! Came here for a team lunch, ordered Tom Yum Soup...and did not get Tom Yum. Haha, let me explain. It might be because this place is Americanized, but the soup came with so many other vegetables and NO LEMONGRASS OR CILANTRO. What?! Tom Yum without lemongrass or cilantro?! Blasphemy. The soup wasn't sour and I was constantly surprised with the array of random veggies...like carrots and cauliflower...uhh. That isn't Tom Yum :( Service was also EXTREMELY slow and the place was NOT busy. Unfortunately I don't recommend :( read more

With an empty restaurant, it took 15 minutes to get a cup of soup. Seriously? The broth was flavorful, but the chicken was a chew toy, insanely over cooked and gnarly looking. The soup cups themselves seemed like they were handled without any care, and sloshed around, leaving a red oil everywhere. The cuisine at this place confuses me. It's not fusion, it's fusion confusion. Do not blend cuisines when you don't know how, and this place clearly has no idea what they're doing. The fish tacos were a build your own dish. For $14, I have to assemble my own tacos? The avocado was just mush, very oxidized and brown, and the tortillas were cold and flaccid. They actually put jack cheese on this, which just made it gross. You do not put jack cheese on fish! The crab quesadilla tasted like, jack cheese, and was served cold. The crab was flavorless, the mango salsa was tasteless and watery, the tortilla still seemed raw and was very chewy, and there was nothing vibrant or tasty about it. It just tasted like cheese and flour and some tasteless sauce. The salad came undressed, and the server actually had the nerve to tell me my salad was dressed without looking at it. After about a minute, I finally was able to negotiate getting "extra" salad dressing. The greens in my salad were old and of low quality. I had to pick a bunch of them out as they were rotten. No food poisoning for me today, thank you! None of our entrees were served at the same time, and they were served before our soup cups were cleared, which was another good 15 minutes. For a lunch service, it was painfully slow. It took almost an hour to get in and out, and we had to take half of our gross food to go because we ran out of time. Our server was absolutely clueless and should be fired. He was a disservice to the restaurant. The food was badly conceived and carelessly prepared. The silverware was dirty, the plates were dirty, and the menus probably would do well to be run through the dishwasher as well, as they were also very dirty, sticky and greasy. This restaurant is getting ready for kitchen nightmares. There are better places to eat, save your money. read more

One of the best Thai places I have ever been too. Very authentic and perfect spice level.

Best Pad Thai I've ever had. Great noodles, not greasy, lots of tofu, chicken/prawn, veggies, peanuts. Superb flavor. There was something enjoyably different about Kitti's pad thai and I loved every bite of it. I wish Kitti's had another location closer to downtown Sausalito or that they delivered. A girl can dream... read more

This is one of my local favorites!! Delicious food, casual and warm ambiance. Lovely outdoor seating area to enjoy during the warm Marin afternoons. Lunch and dinner menu is excellent. I generally order the same traditional Thai dishes or the spicy Pho soup - satisfying every time! read more

Kitti's Place - Best beef pho! - Thai Near Me - Sausalito, California

The first thing I noted about Kittie's Place was the location. Parking isn't the best; in fact, it's in a narrow one-way strip off the main row. If you can find parking nearby during mealtime, you're golden! Second was just how busy it was. It's good to see such a small restaurant doing a lot of business in this tough economy, but in the midst of a 2PM weekday "meal rush", it was a tad stifling, and VERY loud. The waitress had to round the counter to ask if we were staying for lunch. After being seated, it was a set of wait times. Wait five minutes for drink orders. Wait ten for them to be delivered... And if your waiter walks away before you have a chance to add to your order? Be prepared to wait til he runs by again. What I did particularly enjoy was the thai iced tea. Delicious! After finally getting our food, things started getting better. Let me just say, for the price the portions are GIANT! I ordered the Seafood Gumbo, which had a good amount of spice without blowing my head off. The bits of sausage in it was my favorite part. The only complaint was that it needed a bit more rice (possibly white and not the 'dirty' rice they used). My fellow diners ordered the Pad Thai, which was delicious and also large in portion, and a combo platter. We ended up eating off eachother's plates, and man was it worth the wait! So overall: Atmosphere = 3/5 ~Crowded and loud, but clean and nicely decorated. Service = 2/5 ~The waiters were friendly but difficult to get a hold of. Extra glasses weren't filled/taken away so they cluttered the table. Food = 5/5 ~Totally made up for the lack of service! I'd definitely go there if only for some of that delicious pad thai! Price = 4/5 ~A little up there but not outrageous. Overall Score = 4/5 If you like Asian Fusion, especially Thai food, give Kittie's Place a shot! read more

Absolutely the best customer service I have had in a long time. I placed a to-go order and they gave me a cup of soup (which was awesome - carrot and ginger with the right amount of spice heat) and water to drink while I waited. But it wasn't just that that made it a fabulous customer service. They were very kind, more than willing to answer all my questions, patient and attentive! I ordered the drunken noodles and it was one of the best I've ever had!!! Their place is small, but super clean and their decor/furniture is lovely. They have a very nice outdoor patio too - I will definitely be back next time I'm in the area! read more

We got take out from here and it was great! First of all, the food was excellent. Spring rolls, green curry and pad Thai. Second, they were super friendly. I was offered a complimentary cup of soup while I waited for my order. Third, a stream of locals came in to pick up their take-out, and the owner/manager knew all of them and asked after their families and had pleasant local small-talk. For me, this was the icing on the cake; a caring proprietor and clientele who know and care about each other. And, from the 6-7 people who came in during the 10+ minutes I waited, this is a great testament to this restaurant. Would go back in an instant. read more

This is a little gem in sausalito. ( i have never given anyone a 5, but this place was close) I have been going here for about 10 years I usually get the turkey burger and fries (extra crispy) or chicken burger, but the real deal is everything else on the menu. It is all very fresh and healthy. My biggest "foody" friends even rave, try the thai chicken salad, or really any dish will convert you you to this secret spot....very simple place in non-descript mall, with reasonable prices. read more

I'm such a fan of Kitti's Place! They are so nice there and so attentive! I gave it 5 stars not because I'm comparing it to higher end Thai restaurants but comparing it to other restaurants in it's same more casual category. Regardless, it's fantastic! As I stated, the waitstaff is great. They greet you right away and are never too far away and they do get very crowded! Still, it doesn't take away from your experience there. I love their Pad Thai with prawns and my friend gets the Pad See Ew. Excellent meals! Sometimes we get soup first and it's always tasty. This appears to be a family owned/run business and it's always the first place I think about when I want Thai food. Also, if you're not into Thai, but your friends are, they have non-Thai items on the menu to accommodate you. Just excellent! Try it...you'll like it!! read more

This place has the best customer service in all of Marin if your looking for amazing quality food then stop in!

OMG- I can't believe that Kitty's has only been reviewed once! All I can say is that if you have not tried this little gem tucked away in a strip mall, you do not know what you are missing. Everyone is super friendly and the food is to die for! We (co-workers and I) eat there at least once a week. The lettuce cups are delish sometimes we just get those for lunch. The Satay Chicken with Peanut Sauce is sinful. It is a great fusion of Thai/American and they even serve burgers with fries. Great soups, salads, noodle bowls and rice plates. Anything your little tummy could possibly want. It's right between Tommy's Wok and the car wash on Bridgeway. read more

There is NO better Pad Thai- period. The Chinese Chicken Salad is simple and simply delicious. All of their produce is always fresh, there just isn't anything that isn't delicious... All of this is important, but what makes a dining experience complete are the people. This is where the 5th star comes in... These people all love what they do and it shows. They make my meal special each time because I like a combination of two of their entrees and they REMEMBER it every time i go there. They also bring you a little sample of soup why you wait and when I'm sitting outside with my girls (2 Shih-Tzu's and a Shepard) they always bring out a bowl of water without me even asking. Great people+great food= a great experience read more

I am a long time resident of Sausalito and Mill Valley, and have been coming to Kitti's for several years. Friendly owners and staff, attractive decor and outdoor tables help make It the favorite of many other locals in the area. It well deserves five stars. Kitti's consistently serves food that is superior to many Thai restaurants I have tried in Thailand and the Bay Area. It's owned and operated by a personable Thai family, and Mama is the creator of the specials that appear on every day's menu. She is without doubt is one of the best cooks anywhere; many of her creations are based on Thai and other SE Asian dishes. Today, I had Mama's Special for lunch: Panang curry, fresh steamed vegetables, breast of chicken, jasmine rice and wonderful chicken pot stickers, with a separate sauce. She's a true artist, wonderfully creative with the menu, uses completely fresh ingredients, and her homemade soups and sauces make a meal there always a rewarding experience. Highly recommended lunches and dinner. read more

I am new to Sausalito, but Kitti's is convenient and well recommended. The pad Thai was plentiful and tasty, leftovers enough for dinner. I will be back read more

The best food in Marin. We've lived here for 30+ years and there's no better food in the area. I must have been to Kitties over 500 times and every time the food is delicious no matter what you order. It's the first place we take friends to when they come into town. read more

I had been going to Kitti's place for years for their Chinese Chicken salads and the cute girls behind the counter. They knew me for a few years and knew exactly what I was going to order depending on which day I called in. Always had a good meal here and brought all my friends for lunch. read more

So, when we walked up to the place we didn't have high hopes based solely on the decor. However, after seeing the warmth of the staff and the intensity of the customers devouring their meals, it became apparent that Kitti's Place was all that and more. The lettuce wraps made me cry they were so good. The curry was sublime and the staff even brought out some fresh blueberries for our baby without us even asking. After the meal, they took him behind the counter and washed his little hands. It is not often I am blown away by the service but this was an A+ experience. Great food and the kindest people. Seek it out. read more

It is very casual and California with a Thai flavor. The lettuce cups were outstanding -- a mix of chicken and shrimp and crispy wide (Phad Thai type) noodles, jicima, other surprises and a very well flavored sauce. It was perfect for an inexpensive, casual meal out. read more
