Anchor Bay Thai Kitchen — Restaurant in Point Arena

Wow, what quality and authenticity! Coming from the Bay Area, there is no shortage of great Thai food... so when we saw Anchor Bay Thai Kitchen while driving up to Point Arena, I have to admit I thought this would be watered-down Thai food. But, so many reviewers posted such glowing testimonials that we had to try for ourselves one night — what a treat it was!

We made a pretty standard order of pad kee mao, Thai bbq chicken, and pumpkin curry with chicken. The pad kee mao was just totally addicting! Fresh wide rice noodles (Where do they source it from??

Staff was friendly in that low-key, genuine way you only find in small towns. Whether you’re a local or just rolling through Highway 1, this place is a mandatory stop. Five...

I live locally and I love having this as a choice of cuisine. I personally love the food here, but agree that the prices are still a bit high. Living in the coast, you get used to seeing high prices, but we still wish local restaurants would give local discounts at least once a week. When we went the last time, there was live music. It was fantastic. Not too loud and good songs. Food was good (orange chicken, chicken larb, pad Thai) and even better with house made hot sauce. The peanut sauce is house made and delicious. Owners Jay and Kwan are usually around to say hello to...
