George .Berlioz Taste of Thai, Grass Valley, CA 204 W Main St., Suite 103 — a jewel of Thai cuisine right in downtown Grass Valley.  If you want “bam-pow” flavor, this is the spot. From the moment we walked in, we knew something special was happening. The service? World class. Paula—our waitress who gave us world class service, Jep our server who was most insightful (and that girl with the cool tattoo on her left arm) Saffron,—delivered with a smile that lit up the whole room. That kind of genuine warmth makes you feel immediately at home, like everyone who works there loves doing what they do. It’s not just polite—it’s joy in human form. Now, let’s talk food: • Pad Kee Mao: noodles cooked to perfection—slightly chewy, richly sauced, never soggy. The pork was tender, giving just the right pull with each bite. The spice level? Hot. Not just “Thai hot” but “if I asked for hot-hot, this is what I want” kind of spicy. BAM. • The Evil Jungle Noodle: this was the show-stopper. A daring mix of red curry and yellow curry married with fresh vegetables that pop in color and flavor. Each spoonful punches with vibrant curry richness, fresh greens, and layered textures. It’s familiar, yet creative—everything you want when you try variation on a classic. What stood out most was how everything comes together: the atmosphere, the authenticity, the pride in the cooking. The food exploded in flavor, but it never overwhelmed—you taste each ingredient. If I could sum it up in one line: Taste of Thai is one of the best Thai meals I’ve had in a long time, full of soul, style, and spice. We did have an appetizer that I highly recommend it delivered more than I expected. Tod Mun Pla (Thai Fish Cakes) — lightly deep-fried little rounds of spiced fish paste, crispy on the outside yet tender and packed with savory flavor inside. They come served with crisp cucumber slices and a sweet-and-sour dipping sauce that cuts through the richness just right.

landon meier Firstly, yes you can park in the parking lot with all the warning signs about towing and reserved for yada yada. Americana is not mentioned but we confirmed with the employees. So, avoid paying unnecessarily for street parking. Enter from rear door (North side of bldg). Cobb salad was splendid. Mushroom melt was marvelous. Yummy fries and house made ketchup. Our server provided friendly service with a smile. All food is sourced from local farms, cheese makers etc.

Shi Grissom This was a great place to have dinner. We were told we had to wait 40 minutes but actually got seated within 20 minutes. The service was great. We had Lucia as our server and she was patient and kind, when we kept ordering ginger. The food was great, no complaints. We will definitely be coming back.

Kristina Kouris My mom & I were exploring the old railroad square and stumbled upon this place doing so. Im so happy we did! We came on a week day late afternoon/ early evening and there were some people, but not too crowded. We sat at the bar and had a drink & ordered a pizza. The bar tender was super nice & attentive. I got the Painted Lady drink which was good, not too sweet or strong. The wood fired pizza is amazing. I got the house made sausage one and it was incredible. The crust and toppings were just perfect! I would definitely come back here again when in the area!

Robin Caudillo Awesome place. I had the bobcat roll Because I do not eat seafood. It has tempura, chicken, rice and seaweed, and it was absolutely delicious.I cant wait to go back. It was my grandsons birthday and they brought him out a tempura Oreo dessert

thegardengazer The Lobster taco was juicy and delicious, accompanied by a tasty salsa on the side. The calamari was also crunchy and delicious. However, I was not impressed with the fish and fries. There were more fries than fish. Despite this, the friendly staff and exceptional service made the experience enjoyable. The restaurant’s unique and impressive vibe is truly one-of-a-kind. I wish the outdoor chairs and tables were more comfortable.
