Thai BBQ House — Restaurant in Petaluma

First time dining here, not fancy just few tables inside and few picnic tables outside. Saw lots of takeout orders being done. Ordered Veggie Crispy Rolls - $8 Silver noodle, cabbage, shiitake mushroom, taro, carrots with sweet & sour plum dipping sauce. Rolls were crispy and taste was good, not sure if sauce was house made. Chicken Satay - $10 Grill on skewers marinated chicken in spices and Thai curry powder, served with peanut sauce and fresh tangy cucumber salad. Chicken was tender and really liked the cucumber salad, thought the sauce was ok, unfortunately not best I've tasted. Pad Thai - $17 Wok-fried fresh rice noodle, tofu, egg, bean sprouts, chives & crushed peanuts. Opted to not add meat or additional tofu since it already comes with it. Liked flavor, could have used more chives/green onions and crushed peanuts, seemed a bit dry but liked it overall. Spicy Basil - Chicken $17 Fresh chili, garlic, bell peppers and basil leaves served with fried egg and choice of steam rice, fried rice, or sticky rice. Ground chicken stir-fried with fried rice, peppers, basil, eggplant and a fried egg. Taste was good. Thai BBQ is worth a try, tastes differ from person to person, the staff is...

Spot is tiny, so it can easily be missed. Free parking is shared throughout the entire plaza.

Seating is available both inside and outside. It wasn't busy when I came to dine-in, so I was taken care of pretty quickly. Another group came after me but sat outside and was served water. I never got water, I think it was because I had a water bottle with me.

Ordered chicken satay with a side of rice and cucumber salad, which I recommend for anyone to try. I was disappointed with the papaya salad. It came out too salty (too much fish sauce) and wasn't enjoyable to eat, so I didn't touch it for the most part. When someone came to check up on my food, I mentioned the papaya salad, and he apologized and asked if there's anything I would like, so I just asked for more of the cucumber salad.

It was a good thing I didn't order the full sized portion of the papaya salad, or that would've been a waste. Still paid...

While reading the reviews is noted that this is the Sonoma branch of a successful SF main restaurant. I hope I get to try the SF restaurant in the future since we really enjoyed our meal in Petaluma. Visiting from our of town and we don't have good Thai food from our neck of the woods. Service was prompt and polite. The indoor area is a bit claustrophobic since customers have to walk through to order at the counter in the back. Great food, but be warned that the food is spicy. We ordered medium which is fine at many restaurants but here it meant hot so I think hot here would be volcanic but probably not atomic. Sticky rice and green papaya salad in addition to the BBQ was delicious and I got my mango with sticky rice fix!...
