Went here two times on 4/17 & 4/18. Both times it was shut without notice.
INCREDIBLE green papaya salad! Everything else was excellent, too, but, man, that salad. So well balanced. I wish I could have more. It's primarily a take-away place, but there are two tables that you can use to eat there. All made to order by Ratana, who is the nicest woman. Really delectable food; definitely give it a try.
We got the green papaya salad with peanut and shrimps, extremely fresh and delicious
Best pad thai I’ve ever had. I love tofu in my pad thai. I also like my pad thai and food spicy, I’m not sure if it’s because how I look or because they don’t normally do spicy for pad thai but it wasn’t spicy even though I had said I wanted it “more spicy” lol. That was the only disappointment and unfortunately lots of places hold back the spice for me because they probably assume I can’t handle it but I wouldn’t ask for spicy if I didn’t want it. Still was delicious!!!! Thank you!
Amazing food ! They’re so nice and they have tofu as a protein substitute for vegetarians!
Don’t miss out on the pumpkin red curry !
The Thai here is one of a kind amazing! Came here and they were so friendly and all of the food is homemade! Best Thai I’ve had in a long time!
FANTASTIC little hole in the wall for takeout. Papaya salad and pad thai were out of this world. I thought we had some pretty good Thai restaurants at home (seattle area) but Ratana's is right up there, and a great value. Must visit.
Very low level. Nothing like the food in Thailand.
Gyaaattttt
FANTASTIC

The pad Thai is SO GOOD! I’ve also had the papaya salad and Thai tea, I’ve never left dissatisfied or disappointed! Highly recommend

Almost everything can be made vegan. My niece’s daughter was with us. She doesn’t like any sauces. The chef made plain noodles with just a little garlic and soy sauce. It’s a small restaurant that also makes bento boxes for the local KTA market.
My husband and I stopped in last week while we were doing our laundry and got the chicken skewers with salad and the massaman curry.It was all amazing!!! It was fresh, filling, the curry was out of this world. Good portions we shared and had some left over. We will definitely be back
