Thai Dish Reviews
We have been going to this restaurant for the last 15 years, and despite the name change - the food is still delicious. We love a recommend their pumpkin curry- just so amazing. The traditional Tom Ka soup is good too. My sons love their fried rice, and drunken noodles. It's a great little restaurant, and we love eating in or taking it to go. The desserts are amazing as well- I suggest the mango sticky rice and the fried bananas with ice cream. Just delicious.
BEST DRUNKEN NOODLES EVER. A gem in Ukiah! You know this place is legitimate by the pictures of the beloved king of Thailand on the walls. The decor is authentic and the atmosphere is peaceful. When you walk in the delicious smells immediately welcome you. The waitstaff is always attentive and welcoming. But the food, for Ukiah? Is incredible. So is the price point. We just moved out of town and went here to have our last dinner in the area. It will be sorely missed. While some curries can be a bit more thick on certain days, the flavor is always delicious. The ingredients are fresh and often steamed. As first mentioned, the drunken noodles here are THE BEST. I've eaten at soooo many Thai places not just here but in Thailand too and this place makes it as close to the real thing as you can get stateside. Other places make the sauce too sweet but Thai Dish nails it every time. Yum, I'm craving it right now! Haha. Other dishes we love are their yellow, red, green curries typically ordered with either prawns, tofu or chicken (you can also add as many proteins as you like if that's how you get down). The BBQ salmon in banana leaf is a staple. Incredible flavor. Summer rolls (the fresh not deep fried ones) with peanut sauce, omg. Killer. The Thai Chicken noodle soup, best damn soup on a rainy day. I haven't ordered anything I didn't like. And this place for some reason does not get the love or hype it should be. Don't be fooled by other Thai spots in town, this is the place you want to go. Why go to an inflated restaurant and pay $45 for a poorly cooked steak when you could come here and get twice the amount of food and flavor? Just sayin. Can't wait to have an excuse to come back.
Food was very flavorful and plenty. I recommend the Tom Kha and drunken noodles. Drunk noodles to satisfy the savory cravings and tom kha when you need something soupy and slightly sweet.
Ended up trying Thai Dish on a trip up to the Mendocino Area, and so glad I did. We were going to stay in Ukiah for the night and were really hungry and ready to grub when we found this place. Ended up getting seated and ordering: * Basil fried rice with shrimp - delicious and super flavorful *Panang Curry with Chicken - I loved the creamy taste of this dish - so delicious *Yellow Curry - this one comes with potatoes and also loved every bite *Soft tofu with veggies - this was a dish we ordered on the fly but came with soft tofu with this gravy curry with veggies which included zucchinis which was so delicious! *Pork Vermicelli dish - I loved this and this was on the spicier side with griller pork which I really loved - never had a flavor so unique, but so delicious! *Shrimp with the plum sauce - would skip this dish as it was wayyy too sweet *Pad See Ew - also delicious and flavorful - this is one of my favorite noodle dishes and I always enjoy it! *Fried banana with ice cream - if you want a hot and warm dessert that has all the different textures of crunchy and soft and gooey - get this!! Overall, the food was great and I would go back to have more!
We ordered yellow curry, drunken noodles, and Tom kha soup. All was very good, not a bite left behind! I have had Thai with more flavor but it was all still delicious. Just passing through, the whole family is happy we stopped for dinner here!
