Khobkoon Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Roseville

Well that was a waste of time and money for us. We love us some good Thai and were hopeful for this place. Located in yet another strip mall in Roseville, you will immediately be confused as to which door you are supposed to enter, as there are two restaurants next to each other, and 3 of the doors have signs stating "Enter from other door" and the arrows point to the other restaurant. Khobkoon is the single door on the far right. The interior has been designed to look old world Thai/Asian which was cute. They definitely need to add some music for the background so you don't just hear other diner's utensils clicking on their plates. I noticed other patrons (there were only 3 other tables filled at 8pm on a Saturday night) were speaking extremely quietly as not to have other's hear them. Kind of annoying to have to pay attention to your speaking level. Our host, and presumed owner was nice as he took our orders. Food: Started with the #1 veggie rolls. Deep fried, but cold in the middle, and the veggie insides were on the stringy side, which being cold was a bit 'not good'. Followed by #19 Tom Kha Ghai with chicken. Came presented in a sterno hot pot, and it was actually boiling in the pot. The broth truly had no flavor to it. So that was a miss as well. Finally we tried the #24 Penang with pork ($1 extra for pork) and #64 Pad Thai. The pork in the Penang was tender which was good. But, the curry was flavorless as was the Pad Thai. One thing that surprised and annoyed us, was that I have never been to a Thai restaurant where they did not ask or indicate the level of spice. He never mentioned, nor asked us even though the menu clearly notes "spicy" by use of the pepper icons. All of our food was bland, and flavorless. Even the jars of heat additives (for lack of better words here) at the table were bland. Is bland what people in Roseville love? Based on the 'great' reviews one might think so. For us, who love good 'real' Thai food with traditional spiciness, this is not the place. Again, only 3 other tables had diners on this Saturday night, and only 2 take out orders came in while we were there. I...

Came here to try a new Thai place. We ordered the duck curry, drunken noodles, seafood curry, and seafood fried rice. The seafood was so fresh and the flavors were on point. The duck curry and drunken noodles were also pretty good. If I was going to use authentic (even though I've never been to Thailand and had "authentic" Thai flavors), this would be one of the rare times I would use it. They also have a lovely selection of Thai chili sauces and powder. The man who was our server (also the owner maybe?) was super nice and very thoughtful while we were ordering and when he was serving our food. The decor of the place made it nice and cozy inside; perfect for an intimate meal. I was surprised to find the place has been around for 15 years. Definitely a hidden gem and hole in the wall! If you like Thai food, come try this place out and give...

What a treat! My wife and I loved this place and so happy we tried it. Definitely bringing friends and family with us next time. We ordered the green curry with chicken, pad see-ew with beef, and kung phak ruam. The green curry sauce was thinner than I'm used to, but was full of flavor. Bites with basil and some added serrano pepper slices (from the side sauce dishes on the table) were my favorite bites of the meal. Other food highlights were the perfectly cooked shrimp in the kung phak ruam and flavorful thick noodles of the pad see-ew. The service was attentive and as friendly as could be. I didn't feel like I was in a restaurant, I felt like I was in somebody's kitchen. I should have added photos, but the meal was devoured before I could think of it. All 3 decently proportioned meals and a side of fluffy rice...
