First off - Let me just appreciate that there is a Thai Drive-Through in Clearlake!!! Not even the Bay Area has that. That's how we have ordered and picked up delicious food at Kour Thai, in the past.
Today we went inside for the first time. We loved it, a super kind and welcoming family-run business. We ordered the mixed appetizer plate, pawn rolls, tempura shrimp sushi rolls and - an incredible daily special - vegetarian pumpkin red curry.
Everything was perfect. The mixed appetizers came with potstickers spring rolls and pawn rolls. We had ordered another order of prawn rolls, but they were so good that it was lucky we had extra. The mixed appetizers also came with both a sweet & sour/mai ploy-style sauce and a really good spicy peanut sauce.
The sushi was made to order, per our exact specifications ❤️ Finally, the pumpkin curry was amazing - just the right spiciness - spicy, but not overpowering the flavor of the food. The pumpkin is kabocha squash - my absolute favorite. It was cooked perfectly - not overcooked, rich and delicious, served with beautiful, decoratively cut zucchini, long bean, carrot, cabbage and Thai basil.
The food service was friendly and efficient. The proprietor's family were hanging out at another table. We really felt at home . During the whole meal, we enjoyed lounging around inside this beautiful restaurant, with ceiling-height banana trees, colorful decor and a whole wall of windows looking out at the lake.

Read moreWe live in the East Foothills about a two and a half hour drive to Kour Thai. We were meeting friends from the Valley and we arrived late in the evening. As we were being seated, we were asked what we would like to drink and of anything special. We just handed the server our menus and said we would like to sample the House Entrée. We no sooner began trying the different Thai beers, when the food started coming. Besides the tantalizing aroma, each dish was an artistic work of art.Yet, only preceded by the explicit taste of crisp fresh ingredients and perfectly prepared to authentic Thai. Being served by smiling, happy people at the end of a long day. The stuffed chicken wings is a gift to a discerning palate, the essence of lemon grass in the fresh Spring Rolls with peanut sauce.... and they kept coming. I knew I had let my eagerness for taste surpass the capacity of full, but the late drive home was filled with live conversation and energy. Not only did we find Kour Thai an exquisite restaurant, in a modest setting, but what a short drive it is, when the destination is...
Read moreI am having leftovers tonight from Kour Thai in Clearlake CA. Every bit as wonderful as last night. But let me tell you about last night. It was Valentines. My husband David & I went there for dinner as it is one of our favorite restaurants in town. We were greeted with an energy that was very welcoming and warm. They bent over backwards & turned themselves into a magical place of Love. They created a Valentines menu, wore T-Shirts of LOVE, offered excellent service as well as food (not unusual) and music from Michel Barrett (?) hope I got then name correct, great music. My husband was offered the bill very reasonable & I received a sweet little pink Teddy Bear which I Love. Thank you. . The restaurant created the ambiance with balloons, table candles and excellent customer service and authentic delicious food. Thank you Kour Thai I love your customer service & excellent cuisine. You haven't seen the last of us. ...
