I enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The server was kind and proactive to make sure I had what I need.

Hands down the best Thai food I’ve ever had. The restaurant is clean, cozy, and has a true home-like feeling the moment you walk in. It’s warm and comfortable in a way that makes you want to slow down and enjoy being there. What really sets this place apart is the staff—genuinely kind, attentive, and welcoming. You’re treated with care and respect, not rushed, and you can feel the pride they take in both the food and the experience they give their guests. I ordered the Tom Yum fried rice with shrimp, and it was absolutely incredible. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, the flavors were bold, balanced, and deeply satisfying, and everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Even the details were on point, including the clean, modern bathrooms. This is the kind of restaurant that feels like home and leaves a lasting impression. I can’t recommend it enough and will definitely be back.

Exceptional service, very great atmosphere. If you don’t get too worked up and remember you’re in a Thai restaurant in some random place in WA you’ll see it deserves 5 stars, period.

Great food, great atmosphere, and kind staff, but every time I’ve dined in over the past year, oftentimes with one or two other tables, the service is incredibly slow. They seem to never have more than one person on staff for front of house to manage dine in and takeout. Oftentimes it takes at least 15 minutes after sitting down to receive water and order. I understand that food delivery platforms penalize if food isn’t on time, but feel there should be another person on staff to manage dine in guests vs solely prioritizing takeout orders.

Dek Thai is reasonably good.
Is it the best Thai food? Not exactly.
Does it scratch a Thai Food itch? Well.. sometimes.
Their food can be hit or miss; they lack consistency and oscillate between over-salted, under-seasoned, and “almost” perfect, depending on the day you go.
What they do have is perfectly seasoned woks that infuse a gorgeous wok flavor into the stir-fries, and their curries seem to be the most reliable.
Worth a stop if you’re in the area, but I can’t help but hope they are continuing to workshop their flavors.

I want to love this place because it’s close to home but I just don’t after multiple attempts. What I will say is their appetizers are delicious. Have had consistently delicious salad (fresh) rolls and crab rangoons. The yellow curry is pretty good. The fried rice wasn’t fried, seemed like barely-warmed ingredients were thrown together with some spice sprinkled on top. It wasn’t at all browned and the veggies were raw. I even tried frying it up myself but that didn’t seem to work. Pad woon sen and pad Thai noodles were so-so at best. I’ve had better at every other Thai place I’ve eaten. Also, two apps, two entrees, $100 delivered. Way overpriced. And I had to pay for white rice with the curry.

Got takeout - phad Thai, kao soi, and fresh rolls. Everything was delicious! Their 2-star is closer to a 3-star imo. Their peanut sauce slaps. Food was ready quick and the host was super nice. The way they pack the kao soi for takeout was perfect- that dish can be tricky with all the components. Awesome to have a go-to Thai spot since there aren’t many in the Burien/white center area. We will be returning for takeout regularly!

Yum. food is delicious. Prices are comparable to other thai restaurants. (all restaurant prices are insanely high nowadays it seems) but at least their food is delicious.
I really enjoyed this place. The food was appropriately spicy for a 3 star even though my jalapeño has seeds. I've never seen pork belly on a Thai menu but it was really savory and slightly sweet. Relaxing atmosphere, nice decor and pleasant staff. Will go back.

After many years of sub par or hit and miss Thai food the new management/update is making way more of an effort.
We ordered take out and everything was hot, fresh, well sauced and vibrant.
The prices are a bit higher than elsewhere but portions are generous!

Everything we ordered was delicious and had a lot of flavor! The portions were big.
Beef Basil fried rice Chicken Red curry Chicken Pad kee mao Crispy garlic chicken Chicken Rice noodle soup
The beef in the fried rice wasn't as tender and the pieces were a little too big. You also had to pay $4 extra for the beef (only proteins that came with it would be chicken, pork, or tofu). The red curry didn't come with rice, so you had to pay $2.50 extra. You cannot really eat Thai curry without rice, so it would be better if they just charge a little extra for the curry instead of making you pay for rice individually. There was enough free street parking at 4pm on a Saturday. There is no parking lot at the restaurant.
Note: we took pictures when we already started eating some of the foods, so the presentation and portions might not look as great.
UPDATE: We ordered pad thai and special pork belly to go. Both items tasted great! Also nice-size portions!
