Two New Restaurants To Check Out in Sonoma County

Petaluma welcomes a second location of a popular local burger chain and a hotly anticipated Thai restaurant opens in Santa Rosa.


Petaluma’s second Acme Burger restaurant has opened and there’s a surprise menu item only available at the Sonoma Mountain Parkway location — pizza!

The 10-inch pies are a DIY affair with red, pesto or Bechamel sauce and the usual toppings, including pepperoni, Italian sausage and Acme’s meatballs.

Khao Soi Thai Zen is now open at 1169 Yulupa Ave. in Santa Rosa. The hotly-anticipated restaurant serves a mix of Thai, Japanese and Chinese dishes.

What’s got our attention: Tom Kha and Tom Yum hot pot soup and Khao Soi, a yellow curry with fried noodles, pickled mustard leaves and steamed egg noodles. Details at khaosoithaizensantarosa.com.
