R'Noh Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in Larkspur

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST THAI I'VE HAD IN THE BAY AREA.

My friend arrived from out of town and wanted Thai.

He's very picky, having eaten all over the world, and everything's a test. Will they speak to him in Thai? Is the decor authentically Thai? Is the spicy beef salad good but not too spicy (you say not too spicy "my pet" in Thai). And, of course, the Pad Thai is the test...

One by one every test was correctly addressed--not that I cared about any of them--I just taste the food and decide.

First were the crispy egg rolls--perfectly cooked, light, not oily, delicious. Described as, "mixed vegetables, shiitake mushrooms and silver noodles, deep fried and served with peanut sweet and sour sauce." We all agreed they were perhaps the best egg rolls we'd ever had.

Next came the Yellow Curry Chicken (mild, no, none of us like it hot), and it was just perfect--"special homemade blended herb, coconut milk, potatoes and carrots. served with cucumber salad." It was light, flavorful, just lovely.

My personal favorite was Thai BBQ Pork: "pork loins marinated with honey, garlic and thai herbs. served with sweet & spicy plum sauce." This was SPECTACULAR--the pork pounded thin and grilled, so tender, moist, flavorful, and perfectly carved so there was no fat at all.

The restaurant is simple and pretty, the service is fast and friendly, and the prices are reasonable.

HIGHLY...

I can ditto what several others said: best Thai restaurant in the Bay Area! I've been to dozens and this wins again and again. Every item I've had here is amazing. Special kudos for their Mussaman Beef Curry -- totally authentic, unbelievably good, this is the ONLY place in the Bay Area that I've found that makes it right (one of the few places that makes it at all). The servers are wonderful, the interior beautiful and calming. Tonight when I came in (for about the 10th time in 5 years -- I live in Pacifica, so can't get here as much as I'd like) there was something very magical about the smell of the place. You simply can't go wrong here, good-sized, and prices are generally very reasonable -- not cheap, but by no means outrageous, and worth...

The crab wontons have a very crisp and fresh tasting shell, and the cream filling is thick without being pungent. The best I've ever tried. Excellent red curry with a wide variety of vegetables (the zucchini is a nice addition). Their eggplant house dish features large chunks of tender eggplant in a sauce that doesn't overpower the legume, albeit I prefer mine a bit spicier than what they serve. Shrimp egg rolls were disappointing for the price, mostly compared to the wontons. Takeout orders are ready in about half an hour on...
