Thai Taste (Santa Rosa, CA)

I decided that while in LA, I would head up north for the weekend to visit my good friend from college who I had not seen in probably over a year. This visit was long overdue. After college, he moved back to Northern California to pursue acting and recently has been in a number of shows so I finally wanted to see one of his performances.

All that aside, we of course had to eat. For dinner he took me to what is one of his local favorites and of course local favorites, are my favorites as well. We also went for what is arguably my most commonly desired cuisine, Thai. We headed into this little strip mall near his house called Thai Taste. You could tell from the moment you walked in that it was a family owned and operated business because of the service and courtesy the expressed.

Tyler had tried a number of things on the menu and we were not terribly hungry, so we got what we felt would be safe dishes (not that they probably weren’t all good). We got the pinnapple fried rice with chicken and the Panang Curry with beef. Both could have been run of the mill thai, as many thai places are these days, but these two dishes exceeded expectations. Both were great and the portions were enough to fill us up plenty. They were perfectly spiced to the point where you wanted to have a bit of water, but not overwhelming to the point where you couldn’t enjoy all the flavors.

I also go the Tum Yam soup which was solid.

If in this quaint town of Santa Rosa, check out Thai Taste for an inexpensive and delicious meal.

Stay hungry my friends.
