SISAKET THAI KITCHEN — Restaurant in Martinez

So my husband and I came here for lunch today because we were in the area. The place is clean and the staff is lovely. We ordered the Curry Noodles with chicken, the fried fish (sauce on the side) the ribeye with fried rice and the roti and curry as an appetizer.

The fish was fried perfectly and tasted fresh. The sauce that came with it my husband liked but I found that overall the way they make their food is way too sugary. The yellow curry served with the roti was too sweet and the roti 🫓 was not as flaky as it could have been. The curry noodles had the same sauce as the roti so again super sweet tasted like sweeter condensed coconut milk mixed with a yellow curry powder with a touch of chili flakes. Definitely didn’t have the flavor of authentic curry. The chicken 🍗 was cooked well but not seasoned at all (a pinch of salt 🧂 would have been perfect) and it was a good portion. The ribeye and fried rice my husband loved.

Overall, I don’t think the chefs here are doing their best to bring authentic flavor of Thai cuisine. I wanted to love it but I just barely liked it. But, if you’ve never had true Thai cuisine you may like it a lot. So don’t take my...

The staff/owner is very friendly and makes the guests feel welcome to the restaurant. The quality and taste of the food is excellent- probably on par with my favorite Thai food I have ever had. I have eaten there twice. On the first visit I had the mango curry & pad Thai, the second visit had the red curry & pad kee mao. Each dish tasted fresh with the perfect balance of seasonings. I am looking forward to trying all the curry dishes and already planning what to eat on my next visit. The prices are pretty good for the amount of food you receive, each visit I leave with enough left overs for 2-3 more meals.

The only thing I dislike about the restaurant is that it seems especially cold inside. So far I have been to the restaurant in January & February & the temperature inside the restaurant was about the same as outside the restaurant. So if you go in winter months dress for...

Caveat: I’ve only eaten here once as takeout.

Staff was friendly, efficient. All of the food was delicious. We got the drunken noodles (pad kee mao), massaman lamb curry, pineapple fried rice with pork, and papaya salad. The drunken noodles were exactly what I hoped for. They had that subtle smokiness from the wok, everything was infused with a hint of basil, there were plenty of veggies (though few shrimp which is a $3 add-on) and the noodles were soft and springy and just slightly sticky, not all gummy and clumped together as sometimes happens. The lamb in the curry was tender, and the curry was warm and well-spiced and slightly sweet. The other two dishes were excellent sides I will get again, but the first two were the standouts. We ordered everything medium spicy, and for me, it was the perfect balance where I could feel a bit of heat but it didn’t overpower the...
