With curries, noodles, spring rolls, fried rice and fresh veggies, Thai food is a wide variety of fresh, colorful ingredients that create a delicious medley of flavors on your plate. In Thailand, eating alone is bad luck, and that’s part of why these dishes are best served family style (sharing plates).
The 2025 readers’ choice Best of the County winner is R’noh Thai Restaurant (pictured above). For the rest of the Marin Magazine‘s Best of Marin County Thai Food picks see below.
