Is anyone surprised that the team behind Ramen Gaijin has another hit on their hands? The chefs here have traveled extensively throughout the Thai regions, which in turn inspired them to bring a taste of Chiang Mai to Sebastopol. For sure, anyone looking for the sweeter, Americanized side of Thai cooking is in for an awakening. This is food that is spiced and seasoned with little hesitation, and fresh and electric at the same time. The house-made Thai sausage, for instance, is superb—grilled and served with a fiery green chili dip. The paste for all the curries are also made in house, with our favorite being the green curry with Manila clams and potatoes.The space, too, is stunning, thanks to lofty ceilings, bamboo lanterns, and a tranquil pond.
