Viethai Cuisine — Restaurant in Santa Rosa

In the land of a thousand food trucks we went to a brick-and-morter Thailand/Vietnam mash up place that turned out the four flavors of a Thai meal in a delicious fashion. The appetizer was a big plate of Calamari just like Charlie's place used to way out on Lincoln in San Francisco back in the eighties. It had a little bit of that burnt flavor but in a seafood plate with a wonderful dipping sauce. The appetizer came with regular salad with a fantastic Thai sour salad dressing. Next we had the fried basil eggplant with tofu (ผัดมะเขือยาวเต้าหู้ for those of you keeping score at home) with brown rice. Even the tofu was sweet. Then the mango salad arrived which had all the salty-spicy, makes your nose run and your mouth burn but you keep eating more. In Thailand you would normally eat this dish with barbequed catfish but I was too full to order as I was stuffed from all the generous portions. Lastly, hat-tip to the two hot sauces!!! The Pepper Fish Sauce, which I realize lots of white folks (my peeps) will not like either because of the fish sauce or the peppers, is well worth the try. The other hot sauce was the Pepper Water Pow! which is what the name implies. Don't try very much, but both work well on the Thai dishes of...

After hearing about VieThai on Sonoma County foodies group in Facebook, It was on my list to visit for sure. You decided to go for my birthday dinner and even postponed a day since they are closed Tuesday.

Everyone thought it was absolutely worth the wait. Compliments from everyone at the table. They were even nice enough to bring us some extras of the corn fritters so we wouldn't need to split them between each other. We almost ordered a second one. They were so good.

I can't remember the dishes that everyone got but we love them. And I don't know if I took any but we love them. And I don't know if I took any but we love them. And I don't know if I took any but we love them. And I don't know if I took any but we loved them.

I forgot to grab pictures. But next...

Cozy spot for Vietnamese and Thai food. Welcoming staff and excellent meal presentation. Great value and highly recommended. Update 2 Want here again last night and it was very busy but we were seated and helped quickly they really have excellent servers and the food was delicious. I got the kitchen special meatball curry and my wife got the tom kah soup with chicken. We shared appetizers of coconut shrimp and spring rolls. They recently got some cute new aluminum bowls from Thailand that add to the authenticity. They are attractive and really help keep the food hot. It looks like they are also in the process of getting their beer and wine license. This place is an excellent value and I would recommend stopping by if you enjoy good Vietnamese...
