http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/DineNDish/6100 So I've tried Siam Dish over on Ming and Stine. And I have to say I wasn't impressed with the dish I had nor the experience of the restaurant. The only Thai food restaurant I have tried and will compare other restaurants too&nbsp; is Royal Thai in San Luis Obispo. I used to live in San Luis Obispo when I was going to college and I swear nothing has ever compared to how great of a place that restaurant is. So my question is, are there any thai food places that are worth going too? If so, please explain what you've had and your experience (good or bad). I have been craving some really good thai food since I've moved back to Bakersfield and since my experience with Siam Dish I've given up hope. -Serrena So I've tried Siam Dish over on Ming and Stine.

The food is great and plentiful, the prices excellent (nothing over eleven bucks). The menu is extensive, and if you ask the proprietress to make you one of <em>her</em> Thai favorites, she will come out with something&nbsp;that is authentic&nbsp;Thai, unique,&nbsp;and absolutely delicious. Only the regulars know she does these wonderful special orders. After dinner, you can go across the parking lot to Domingo's for happy hour, and even karaoke on Wednesdays. Make an evening of it! http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/DineNDish/6100/#c_61613 http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/DineNDish/6100/#c_61613 If you are willing to travel a bit, the Thai Palms on South Street in Old Town Tehachapi is absolutely wonderful, and worth the drive.

There is a new Thai restaurant in town that I tried a couple of weeks ago. It was very good, but the service could have been better. It is in a new strip mall just west of the intersection of Hageman and Calloway. I will try it again. http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/DineNDish/6100/#c_61639 http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/DineNDish/6100/#c_61639 There is a new Thai restaurant in town that I tried a couple of weeks ago.

The new restaurant is owned by the people that also own the The Thai Garden on Brundage across from the Pantry. They have a new name , maybe Thai House. They are from Bangkok. I go to Thailand 3-4 times a year for about 2 months each time. The food is prepared as you will find in the villages and stalls in and around Bangkok. The chef cooks country style and all that I've eaten at the one on Brundage is great. When they prepare the food in the village or stall it is not about service but about cooking for a friend. I love wandering Thailand and looking for new things to eat. Fried bats, rat on a stick, grub (big worms) and other exciting finds.

I married a Thai women, who is coming back from a family visit to Bangkok, and it would be nice to show her we in Kern County also have decent food establishments. </font> http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/DineNDish/6100/#c_61749 http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/DineNDish/6100/#c_61749 <font face="Comic Sans MS">YES.... will someone please find a good Thai restaurant...

They need to spruce the place up a bit, they need some more help and a little more organization, but the food is excellent. Apparently it is now run by a family, and Mom and Dad (or Grandma and Grandpa?) are cooking. The soups are especially wonderful. I have eaten there three times in six weeks and have not been disappointed with anything I've tried. http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/DineNDish/6100/#c_61822 http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/DineNDish/6100/#c_61822 I think that Thai Cuisine on Brundage near Holtby has very good food.

I usually get pad prik or any of the curries.  I have been there now about 10 times.  I love the food.  Recommend this place in town.  http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/DineNDish/6100/#c_61994 http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/DineNDish/6100/#c_61994 Singa Thai on California & Stockdale is probably the best thai place in town.
