I'm giving it five stars, because it is great for what it is. Not every place should be amazing in everything they do. This is a small Thai restaurant where you can go, take your kids, hang out for as long as you want, and enjoy the quaint and colorful ambience. I look forward to when the outdoor seating area opens. But what really wins me over is the food. I love having an affordable Thai restaurant that does carry out, and provides authentic and good tasting food. How's the service? Who cares?! It's a small family run Thai restaurant! Embrace it! If you want exceptional service and undivided attention while you eat then go to any of the other dozens of expensive and luxurious establishments in the valley. Me? I appreciate a good clean Thai spot where I can go and be left alone. read more

Coming from the bay area, we have a number of great Thai places here. However, in Napa, we wanted something quick and cheap and Thai Kitchen was the only restaurant in the area where you pretty much didn't need reservations. I love green curry and I ordered that, as did my friend. We also had a Larb Gai salad which is made out of lettuce, chicken bits, cilantro, peppers, onions with a fish sauce sorta dressing. Didn't impress me as I have had better in the Bay Area and it was a bit salty. The curry was extremely runny, but tasted good enough. Also had bamboo shoots in it (a lot) that was pretty good. Seems like it was more "homestyle" food then other Thai restaurants. The restaurant itself is a small hole in the wall type of place, family run it seems. I can't imagine there being many places of this type in the area. It is clean and well-run, couldn't complain about service. Tofu green curry - $8, around 8-10 for chicken/beef/shrimp Larb Gai - $8 Most everything was $8-$10. read more

If one knows Thai food, this is a spot worth avoiding. It is Americanized Thai. Enough said. I gave two stars for the very sweet servers.

Came back to eat-in. And still 5 stars! Service was great, food was amazing. Wish i discovered this place earlier. All the staff appear to be Thai and really friendly. We ordered duck red curry and pork prik king. The red curry was authentic and duck meat was not too fatty. The prik king sauce with pork - DELICIOUS. spicy and full of flavor. Both dishes went perfect with brown rice. Can't wait to try more dishes. read more

My favorite Thai food in Napa by far! The red curry tofu is absolutely amazing, and so is the Thai iced tea. My mom and grandma enjoyed their pad thai as well, and the service was good. read more

Love this place. It's not fancy, it's not over the top, but it's comfortable, casual, with good and reasonably priced food (unlike, say, the Thai restaurant in Calistoga, whose dinner menu prices are 40%-50% more expensive) We've been going here as regulars for many several years in a row now... not as often now that we've moved further up-valley, but it's still one of our "go-to" haunts in Napa. The Pad Thai is okay, but other things are better -- Pad Se Ew is pretty great, so is the Duck Hot Basil, Pumpkin Curry, and Crab Fried Rice. The large hot-pot of Thai Wonton Soup (heated over sterno stove at the table) is also fun and tasty, and you can't go wrong with the Thai Iced Tea... The wines are also pretty reasonable (I believe they serve Navarro wines from Anderson Valley, which are reasonably decent and good bang-for-the-buck budget wines...) read more

My mom always told me if I don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all. Well, sorry mom, I can't help it with this one. I am very saddened to have to give this place a bad review because I wanted SO badly for there to be a good Thai place in Napa... but dear God, it is NOT Thai Kitchen. Who puts frozen carrots and peas in Panang Curry ~ oh yeah, and FROZEN chicken!! (We asked because the chicken was tough and tasteless) T E R R I B L E The Thai Iced Tea was even gross. I feel they are lazy and taking the cheap and easy road with their restaurant and hope they get a wake up call SOON. Sorry Thai Kitchen. read more

I've been coming here for years and also go to the Thai Kitchen in American Canyon (same owners). The restaurant is small and it can get crowded at lunch--during the week. A few years ago, they made an area outside with tables. It has helped to increase capacity and is nice to have a little more space and fresh air. The restaurant is located next to the hospital and a bunch of MD offices. It's normal to see a bunch of people in scrubs eating lunch. Thai Kitchen has a daily lunch special, Mon thru Friday. It includes soup or salad and rice with your main dish. Their won ton soup has good flavor and so I always get the soup instead of the salad. Some of my favorites entrees are: chicken massaman, beef pad see ew, beef praram long song or pad thai. The food is fresh and tasty! Is it the best Thai I've ever had? No, but it is pretty good. My one wish: Add boba as an option with the Thai iced tea. You can get it at the Thai Kitchen American Canyon but not in Napa. They have some really sweet staff that like to chat. In December when I was picking up a lunch order, they greeted me by name and gave me a small Christmas gift! Wow! read more

It's been a favorite in my family for years. Their Thai salad is delicious. They get better and better over the years.

Some of the best Thai food my family and I have ever had. The eggplant and the pad se ew were our favorites! We will definitely stop here again the next time we are going through Napa. read more

If you were to compare all the Thai restaurants in the bay area with the Thai Kitchen then this restaurant does not stand out in the crowd. But if you compare all the Thai restaurants in Napa, then this restaurant is very good. The recipes are farmiliar but the flavors are not very bright. The food could be more intersting. The spice blends are insignificant, the coatings are too heavy, even the rice is not so good. Even the Thai tea tasted stale. The portions are plentiful and vegetables are cut in decorative designs but it's just not that good. It's the only Thai restaurant in Napa that has outdoor seating and the patio can be nice. The only drawback is it sits in a dusty parking lot that has direct afternoon sun. The restuarant is often crowded and is compounded with the abnormally slow service. I'll eat there when friends insist, but it's not my first choice. The upside is, the restaurant is better than no thai restaurant and the doors stay open till 9 p.m. read more

Well...thoroughly disappointed... Tom Ka Gai- too much lime juice and cutting the inedible in tiny pieces...not so nice when you're fishing tiny pieces of lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves and galangal out of your mouth at every other bite... Red curry-(ingredients- frozen pea and carrot mix, old chicken, canned bamboo shoots and basil)...seriously?! Won't be back... read more

Favorite thai place in town hands down Friendly service,delicious food, and affordable prices! read more

I love it here, only disappointed to come when they are closed on Mondays! That is okay.. I came back.. many times. I enjoy the eggplant, red curry, catfish, as well as Thai iced tea if you're in the mood. The red curry has become our favorite dish, and we only do takeout due to the age of our little one. i like Thai food takeout it tastes good still if you warm it up, considering no fried items. Ambiance: Minty green walls and ambiance to be welcoming and peaceful, a fresh twist to accompany traditional Thai decor as you'd expect. and great service with a smile. True, genuine service, good people. It was a pleasant experience, always, when I've come. I am vexed only by options. When it comes to Thai food. *Takeout from here is nice and efficient :) * Quaint. Peaceful. I love this little place. read more

This place is great. They have $8 lunch specials that hit the spot. Close to the hospital read more

Thai Kitchen Restaurant - Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Napa, California

My cousin is obsessed with this place and comes in here several times a week. Their egg rolls with their spicy sweet and sour sauce is amazing. But my favorite favorite is their vegetarian green curry and their pad thai! Their service is excellent and their prices are definitely reasonable. Small and intimate dining room, but I mainly do take out. It's always ready quickly and hot and steamy! read more

Napa doesn't have much in the ways of Thai food. This restaurant is okay, but definitely doesn't compare to others in the east bay area. The atmosphere isn't great, the curries have mostly bamboo shoots and not much actual meat, and there aren't any good stir fry dishes to choose from. If you have a major Thai food itch that needs scratching, Napa probably won't serve your needs, and Thai Kitchen will most likely come up short. read more

I have been dining here and getting take-out for a number of years. I never thought the food was great, just ok. The food seemed to be lacking in flavor. I found that the pumpkin curry is my favorite item to order from this place and much better than some of the stir fry dishes, so I usually stick with it. My experience this week changed for the better. I went for dinner with my parents and just ordered a couple of dishes, my favorite pumpkin curry and the cashew chicken. The presentation seemed nicer and the food seemed fresher and more flavorful. I will have to go back and test but I believe they have done some improvements here recently and am very pleased and felt compelled to share the news. read more

Pretty good for Napa standards. Service is attentive and the food is tasty. Prices are right on the mark too read more

Tiny little place but good things come in small packages. Very pleasant dinner. Thai iced tea was incredible and plenty of food!

This place is a local's secret. Amazing, authentic Thai food, which is hard to find in Napa. Great dishes, good prices and wonderful service. Highly recommended! read more

Hands down the best Red Curry Chicken on the planet! Highly recommend! Friendly service and great food!

This place is a hidden gem ... we loved the apps , ordered the crispy veggie spring rolls and chicken satay. Amazing !! Came out hot and so fresh the veggies inside the rolls . Dinner plates were delicious too!! read more

Great food & fresh food. I enjoy veg. Egg roll, pineapple red curry & spicy drunkan noodles. Best Thai food ever till now. read more

Thai Kitchen Restaurant - Spicy drunkan noodles & pineapple red curry. - Thai Near Me - Napa, California

We love Thai food and are new to the area. I'm afraid this was one of the worst Thai dining experiences we've had. The Tom Kha Gai was buttery instead of coconut, pad Thai was not great. The staff need to hire another waiter. One waitress was not enough. The staff is very pleasant. read more

A friend and I were in Napa and we had our tongue hanging out for Thai food. We saw this place tucked away in a shopping center and decided to give it a try. Thai food is my favorite and I thought since it said 'authentic' then this was the right place for our lunch. I ordered the Pad Thai (a staple) and my friend ordered Massaman curry with chicken. The chicken was spoiled in both dishes and the Pad Thai was loaded with ketchup (also they used cellophane noodles instead of Pad Thai noodles). Needless to say, we didn't finish our meals and made sure to tell the waitress what the problem was. No apology, no nothing....we paid and left never to return. read more

Not a bad place! It was CROWDED when we came in around 6:30 on a Saturday night, so I knew that must be a good sign. It's a small little restaurant with a big menu. I ordered larb gai--my go-to--and my mom got pad thai. The larb was really good, and I ate the whole thing! I also ordered a cup of tom kha gai, and that was good, too (i really liked the chicken), but there were so many pieces of lemongrass and ginger that I had to be careful with each bite. The flavor was good, though, and I'm glad there was as much lemongrass and ginger lol. Can't have it all! The bill came to just under $35, so I thought the price was okay, too. I'd come back if I'm in Napa again. read more

This restaurant has the best masaman curry!! I travel all over looking for great curry. This restaurant has really done a great job!!! Love it. The pad sieu is also great. read more

This is our go to for lunch possibly twice a week, won ton soup is the best!!! It gets super busy,

I have eaten here twice and enjoyed the food (4+ stars!!), had noodle dishes both times. The dishes were very tasty with lots of fresh veggies and not too oily. The quantity was a bit small, but the great taste made up for it. Price about $8 The place was super crowded on Friday night around 7pm and they did not have enough help to handle it. I would suggest avoiding the weekend dinner hours, they even lost a take out order that was called in from a customer who came to pick it up. read more

I'm in town visiting and my friend told me about this place... well, I was the one who told him to go to this place a few days ago. lol! Anyway, he seems to liked it. I ordered Pad Thai and Iced Thai coffee. I must say that the Iced Thai coffee is one of the best coffee I've ever had at a Thai Restaurant. About the Pad Thai, I didn't really like it as much. It's quite different from the Pad Thai I normally eat in Sacramento. The staff are really nice and friendly. Overall, I'd give it a C+ read more

Take it all in. The re-model is fine with cool green paint and a back area ready for the fall. Dining inside or out is fine, but the back opens it up to more than 12 diners. I ate here about 15 times this year and disagree with many who do not like it. Here is what I can say: Service is fine. I have not noticed anyone waiting (other than for take out) more than should be expected. I like it Thai hot and it took me many attempts to get them to make the Prik King and Spicy Basil really hot. The last time I was there I had to wipe my eyes because I could not see the plate and knew: it was finally hot enough. You can always ask for the peppers in fish sauce which are really pretty good and hot. I am sort of vegeterian and they always figure out how to cook tofu unlike any way I can at home. How do they get it so firm and chewable? Thai Basil with Tofu (substitute thai chilis or jalapenos for bell peppers please) is really freakin hot and good. Nice firm tofu and not too much sauce. Served over lettuce leaf. Prik King with tofu is pretty much stir fry curry paste with green beans and add tofu. This kind of heat is for that expanding/contracting sinuses heat! All the curies: always pretty decent for lunch and usually one fresh local veggy in there. Ask for peppers in fish oil if it is not hot enough. If you are vegan or vegetarian, you can eat here. They get it and have a lot of food to offer at reasonable prices. I would remove the Singha placemats and replace with white linen under the glass. read more

Best Thai food that I've had in CA thus far. The entrees were all delicious, the thai iced tea and watermelon drinks were refreshing and the prices are unbeatable. The downside is that there is no ambiance--the inside is blah. Which is a bummer since the food is a 10! Definitely go here for a delicious and affordable lunch but I wouldn't go here on a date or a romantic dinner. The stand out dish was the spicy catfish--if you're looking for a suggestion that is out of the norm give it a try. read more

Ive been here a lot. The food is great. Cashew nut with beef and tom yum soup is always the best to order . Service was great and very friendly. read more

Thai Kitchen Restaurant - Cashew nuts stir-fried with chili paste, onion, green onion, bell pepper and carrot. - Thai Near Me - Napa, California

With just two places in town, this is the best cheap Thai in Napa. I suppose that you could find better Thai food in an elite restaurant about town but for your "peanut and potato" Thai this place is fine. Heck, we usta have to drive 35 minutes for a Thai meal! Though I do not consider it too much better than Napa's other Thai place ( Siam Thai ), I have been loyal to The Kitchen for over 10 years. Nothing exceptional but there is no need to avoid it (and you don't really have too mnay options). read more

Found this place on yelp, of course! We decided to order Massaman curry with ckn mild Red with ckn med Beef satay Beef fried rice I loved the red curry, it was perfect! Not too spicy and not too many veggies. The massaman curry was good also but could have used a bit more chicken. The kids didn't care for the beef satay because it had a peanut sauce on it. The beef fried rice was a huge hit and the gigantic pile was pretty much gone! I'd totally recommend going here and giving them a try as will I when in Napa again! read more

Tom yum soup was decent, wasn't too impressed with the pad se ew. Very subpar with the flavor compared to other Thai places. Service was ok.

Really good Thai food! The restaurant is small and cozy, but still with plenty of seating. They tend to be busy since it is so popular. If you enjoy Thai food at an inexpensive price, give this place a try! You won't regret it! read more

Everytime I come to this place the food is great the service is friendly and fast love all their curries and tom kha gai soup, come and get it whenever I'm feeling under the weather! Also really love the lunch special they offer! Can't wait to stop by again read more

Thai Kitchen Restaurant - Thai Near Me - Napa, California

The meal itself was surprisingly good, which after all is the real reason we go to restaurants! My surprise comes after my expectations were lowered by the really slow service, and the many tables in the room which had not been bussed after the earlier diners had left. Nice color scheme and decorations. Ambiance was a little light though, but at least they tried. Still, this is not the kind of place I would bring a date to. A single utensil each and paper napkins doesn't cut it for me. Also, show me an itemized bill at the end of the meal. Not just a list of the dollar figures, all added up. For all I know, I got someone else's bill, and they got mine! Add at least one server, and I'll come back to try again. read more
