We ordered the Crispy Tofu, Pad Thai with Chicken and the Duck Curry. The food was great but the Duck Curry was my favorite. The restaurant was beautiful inside and the service was great!

If you are in the North Coast Area this is a 5 Star restaurant. The food is authentic, fresh, and tasty. The service is also good. If you are a fan of Thai food, you will not be disappointed. The food can compete with any Thai food in San Francisco to Thailand.

Delicious Thai food! We got the pumpkin curry and pad kee mao. Note that the pumpkin curry does not come with rice. Both were delicious, and the takeout was fast (~30 min for a Saturday night). Would definitely come back if I was in the area!

Was staying at Rendevous Mendocino and was super surprised to hear there was an authentic Thai restaurant open at night nearby! As a Cambodian-American, Southeast Asian food is my favorite cuisine and Anchor Bay Thai was such a delightful surprise! Walking in to see gorgeous murals and warm lighting, the restaurant had a lot of seating and was pretty full on a Friday night. My partner and I were not too hungry but still ended up ordering 3 dishes which were larger than expected because we wanted to try them. When I saw all the ethnic ingredients like galanga and keffir leaves written in the menu, I knew it was going to be good. I will admit I was a little scared to see the Beef Larb salad & Tom Kha look different than expected but they were YUMMY! I loved how dank the salad was with strong fish sauce flavors. The Tom Kha was very home-y and deliciously spicy. The Thai BBQ chicken really took me back to my childhood with how smokey and juicy it was. I will say the unseasoned steamed veggies underneath was not as yummy but also I needed some plain veggies to balance the other strong flavors. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND if you're staying or passing the area! Anchor Bay Thai Kitchen is an amazing local restaurant!
