Fern Thai on Main (Bellevue)

Fern Thai delivered on flavor and service. Their Pad Thai was above and beyond what one would expect from any other Thai restaurant. I had their version of a sweet and sour soup with pork ribs that just melted in my mouth. We were a party of 4, and we were seated in the back room that was like an atrium. The glass roof and the view of the kitchen made for a great dining experience. The music when we first sat down was calm and cool like a lounge, but halfway through our meal some high energy Lady Gaga completely changed the vibe. Not in a bad way, just different. All in all, I’d recommend this place as an elevated option of Thai food classics and new dishes that you don’t typically find elsewhere.

Pad Kee Mao was really good! We ordered level 3 spice and it was actually pretty spicy, in a good way. It was full of flavor and very satisfying. I’d definitely order it again next time.

As for the crispy garlic chicken, it was just okay. Around 40% of the pieces were a bit too hard and dry. The portion size itself wasn’t small, but the fried coating was quite thick, so it felt like there wasn’t as much actual chicken inside. We ended up leaving some of the fried coating because it was too heavy. Overall, it was pretty average and probably not something we would order again.

I’m a Canadian traveler and had lunch here on Aug 31, 2025. I was double-charged on my Amex, the before-tip amount was authorized, then updated to the after-tip amount, and somehow both charges posted. I called it out immediately and was brushed off with “it’s a glitch, just wait.” I waited. Nothing was fixed. I later disputed with Amex and this restaurant managed to oppose me back because I didn’t submit my receipt, so it was still closed as “correct.” I was not notified by Amex that my case wasn’t solved until I manually checked last month.

Apparently I can’t keep receipts for such a long time so I only have photos taken at the spot, and the extra charge still hasn’t been reversed.

Absolutely unacceptable. If you pay by card here, watch your statement. Would not recommend.

Great Thai food! It’s a bit on the pricier side in my opinion but it’s in a nice area and the portions are quite generous. The food is extremely flavorful and the drinks are good too! I love coming here with my friends, it’s always really nice getting to walk around old town.

The food here was amazing! Great taste and huge portions! The pad see ew was my favorite! Our amazing waiter Tony made sure we were taken care of and even helped us get an off-menu drink (non-alcoholic strawberry daiquiris). Would definitely come back to try the curry dishes!

Good thai food, portions are smaller than I expected seeing the price but then again I have to realize that I'm in Bellevue. I always get a 3 on the 1-5 spicy scale and it's always the perfect amount of kick. The real steal of the show at Fern Thai are the drinks. Would definitely recommend trying out their signature drinks, they're quite fun.

Expensive and everything was salty, even for me, a sodium enthusiast. Chicken was dry. Not comparable to the hat yai in Bangkok and even Portland tbh. Larb was also very mediocre. Honestly, the best thing here were the crab rangoons. Disappointed.

very disappointed wanted to try for the frist time but it was the last time never gonna come back online it' say 10.30 pm close they close at 9 pm very disappointed with the host

Very disappointing experience, we came with our dogs as usual & we were told that dogs were never allowed we mentioned to the hostess that we came before & they allowed us with our dogs on a table they have in the back 3 times yet she said we never did... so unprofessional that she is accusing us of lying not a great customer service & asked to talk to her manager she said they have no manager on the weekend so rude & unprofessional I would never dine with them again...
