Chao Praya — Restaurant in Novato

First time at this little treasure. Lovely, gracious service, wonderful food, cozy and comfortable small establishment.

The food came out fairly quickly for how busy they were. We started with shrimp chips with tamarind sauce - love those! We ordered much more than we could possibly eat because we wanted to try everything and then have leftovers. Everything was really really good. The green curry was fire and the mango with sticky rice was delicious too.

It is an intimate little spot. We could hear a conversation two tables over - loud unpleasant woman treating the staff poorly from the moment she was seated.

They put no utensils nor napkins in the bag and I couldn’t check while carrying my baby on hand. Waited for 35 minutes instead of 20 like they said on a Saturday night. Price is good, $14 for salad, $15 for noodles, and $17 for shrimp Tom yum; no extra charge for the beef option. Nice receptionist. Still, I think we...
