50 Best Thai Restaurants near Burien

“Great food! Very authentic! Owners were very personable and nice to talk to. Highly recommend!“

“My daughter and I went here and got the pad Thai and spring rolls. My daughter also got the Thai iced tea and loved it! Everything was so good! This is such a great hole on the wall, we’ll be back for sure!“

“So creative, fresh, and delicious! This is one of my favorite restaurants in Seattle. I’ve been here since they opened, and their menu is always changing as they refine their dishes and grow. The owner is also really nice.

Everything here is tasty, but my favorite is their signature dish, Pak Mor Yuan, which is very similar to Vietnamese bánh cuốn. I saw a reel of them making it fresh and it is no wonder that it is so tasty.

I also like Guay Tiew Lohd, which uses similar rice noodles/paper.“

“We fell in love with the food and staff at the West Seattle commissary (and miss them very much) but just recently visited their wonderful new storefront space on Greenwood in Shoreline! We're big fans of the Khao Man tofu and the Khao Man Gai (Hainan simmered chicken, like I had growing up in Hong Kong), and of course the Thai tea, and mango sticky rice. Patty just introduced us to the corn fritters which were amazing. We discovered it's the best place to detour to avoid I-5 traffic coming home from Bellingham. Don't miss this place for a delicious lunch or dinner!!“

“I love Noi Thai Cuisine with all of my heart. The environment is very cozy and relaxing. I enjoy the candle lit dark ambiance, and the decor is great! I usually eat alone there but it feels like visiting family. Today I tried the chicken satay and it was simply incredible. My favorite part about this restaurant is the Tom Kha soup. I think about their soup when I am thousands of miles away. I think about it too much. It’s even been in my dreams. Every time I land at the Seattle airport, I am hurrying as fast as I can to the light rail so I can get to Noi Thai Cuisine for my favorite soup. Idk what they do to it…but no other Tom Kha soup will ever compare. If I could eat one thing for the rest of my life, it would be Noi Thai Cuisines Tom Kha soup. I want to start trying more of their menu, but I am addicted to their Tom Kha soup. The staff is always so friendly, attentive, and kind. I will continue to dine here as much as possible…forever. Thank you for filling me with so much joy!!!! I definitely reccommend Noi Thai Cuisine to everyone, they won’t let you down. I can’t give them five stars…..because they deserve five million stars. ;)“

“Why does May's Thai food taste so much better than Thai food in the Seattle Metro area? Is it the country air? Is it because you have to take a ferry to enjoy it? I don't know the answer, but it is delicious! Make May's Kitchen your destination restaurant experience this summer.“

“Aroy Makkkkk !!!

Delightful Delicious affordable Thai food I have ever tried in WA. Very casual home cook style and variety you can choose on the menu! Very recommended “Pork Jerky” from appetizers. It’s good with either rice or sticky rice OR even by itself ?

Tom Sabb also very good soup with herbs and fragrant. Me and my friends got Seafood Tom Sabb which we got shrimp, squid, mussels.

Spicy chicken Salad also highly recommended! Every spices and herbs blend well together and som little crunchy from roasted rice will hit your mouth.

All I can say is this place will make your mouth drool ? such a gem and comfort Thai food restaurant in Kent that worth to visit. Absolutely not gonna be disappointed ?? Originally Thai taste in town. Confirmed by a Thai person!!!“

“The best Panang Curry I've had in a long time!“

“Everyone loves their karaage chicken...huge servings! They also have the best Tom Kha...the flavor is spot on! Pad See Ew, drunken noodles, etc are all wonderful. Portions are large & prices are reasonable. But, biggest reason I keep returning is their terrific staff...just the nicest people!“

“Midnight Cravings = Masterpiece Meals 🍛🔥

Who knew the best Thai food in Seattle would show up fashionably late—with flavor that doesn’t sleep? I grabbed yellow curry, midnight rice, and chicken wings from ChicChic Thai and let me tell you… I may never recover. ($38 for pure edible joy? Yes please.)

The yellow curry came boiling hot, stuffed with tender chicken and veggies, and had that rich, creamy texture dreams are made of. The spice? Enough kick to remind you it’s Thai—but not enough to wreck your tastebuds. Just that “I see you, chef” kind of spice.

The midnight rice? Moist without being greasy (a culinary tightrope act), bursting with bold flavor, fresh veggies, and whole cashews. Oh, and a little house-made red pepper vinaigrette on the side? Chef’s kiss. Literally elevated every bite.

Now the wings. Oh, the wings. Perfectly fried, not a drip of grease in sight, with seasoning so on point it had me questioning every other wing I’ve ever loved. A sneaky heat that builds with each bite, crisped skin, juicy center… these wings deserve a trophy.

Add to that a chef who’s so humble he won’t even accept a tip—but 1000% deserves one—and stays open until 1:30am for all us hungry gremlins? Icon behavior.

Support this spot. Eat the wings. Say hi to the chef. And bring your appetite—he cooks like someone who loves to feed people well, and it shows in every single bite.“

“Beef Holy Basil! I am Thai, when I say this Thai food is good.... I mean it!“

“Been to this place twice and both times food was top notch! Last time I went in and it was a relatively hot day this place was so hot I was sweating uncomfortably eating my food … please get some fans in or something for the summer. Second time the service was a bit off putting as well.“

“I live in West Seattle and have heard a lot about Buddha Rukhsar but have never been there - well, my loss. This place is amazing and my favorite Thai place in Seattle. They have traditional Thai dishes like curry, as well as some different menu items you can't get elsewhere. We called them and made a reservation for Saturday dinner. So glad we did because when we arrived at 7:30pm their wait time was over 45 minutes. We were seated quickly and ordered the following items:… Details“

“Love this place! GREAT Thai food at a GREAT price! Friendly service and awesome fish tank. One of my favs. 😀“

“Very Tasty � i loved it and the employees made me feel very important �“

“I love the chicken roll and soft serve. One of my favorite restaurants. ❤️“

“The service and new menu is very nice , great atmosphere . :)“

“Great food and the best service .“

“I love this place!! Their noodle and rice dishes are so good. They do over-flavor their curries and soups to the point of being too rich or salty imo. I love their chicken lettuce wraps aside from once being really salty too, and just tried the crispy garlic chicken and wish I would have sooner. Can't wait to try more things!“

“A friend recommended this place. The food was yummy, especially the crispy garlic chicken.“

“Casual place with great food and good prices. Mostly serving take out orders but has a few indoor tables. Nice people working hard. Try it, you'll love it. Some dishes have a minimum 2 star spice level, just be aware in case you can't stand a little kick in your food.“

“A popular and busy restaurant/tiki bar. My last supper before flying back. My hosts were kind and attentive to spend our last moments in delicious quality time. But I wasn't hungry! So I had the fried bananas with mango ice cream. What a treat for three! A massive crunchy sweet soft battered bananas and mounds of ice cream. My hosts enjoyed as well. Love this place!“

“Absolutely love everything we ordered. (Crispy Garlic Chicken, Pad Thai, Panang Curry). 10/10. Would definitely go back.“

“Had Pablo prawns and Mongolian beef friendly staff“

“We used Buddha Brudda catering for our wedding at Treehouse Point in July 2025. Not only were Drea and the entire team incredibly easy to work with leading up to the day, but the food was FANTASTIC, and the whole dinner service and bartending staff were so kind and accommodating the day of.

We worked with Drea to customize a menu that fit our needs, which included family-style service instead of buffet, which worked beautifully for our small group of 20 guests. We also opted for pre-dinner appetizers (charcuterie cones, egg rolls, etc) and late-night snacks (sliders, mac salad cups) for our overnight guests, which everyone LOVED!!

Keep in mind they do not do linens, plates/cutlery (beyond bamboo/plastic) or glassware, but were extremely accommodating by picking up/dropping off our rental order from a nearby events company. It was a HUGE help and one less thing for us to arrange.

Our guests absolutely loved the food - all of the appetizers, dinner, late night snacks, and on-the-fly sangria the bartender made with wine/tea/lemonade was fantastic.

I highly recommend Buddha Brudda for your catering needs if you want a relaxed, yummy, yet elegant dining experience!“

“First time here, just visiting. The food was great! I love their Simply Wings, and Pad Kee Maw noodles with shrimp. My husband loves his Holy Thai Basil and spring rolls. The portion is right and satisfies your hunger after an all -day activities in Seattle. It was late in the evening, they were so busy. They didn't have time to check their bathrooms ( at least the women's). Some women looked like they had toilet paper fight in there. Toilet paper every where.
We will definitely come back next time we visit the mall.“

“I have had several meals here and they were all delicious and fresh. The place is clean and never too busy to stop by for a bite. There are always a steady flow of to-go orders when we are there; the wait time is minimal and prices reasonable. Mahalo!“

“Tastes very vey good. I tried green cury, kee mao and crab rangoon and they were very good.“

“Lived in area for going on 4 years. First time eating there, ordered takeout. Prompt, exact, generous portions, delicious. 👍🏾“

“Best Thai food in Kent 😍💕“

“Foods so good especially crying tiger salad. Love it. Service… it’s excellent.“

“Good green curry and simple place! I love Thai food�“

“I had stopped by next-door to pick up a package at FedEx. It was towards the end of the day so I figured well. I’ll stop in to get some Thai food. The menu had really nice variety of different entrées, but the prices seem to be about 15 to 20% more than I had seen in most other Thai places with comparable dishes. what a surprise I had the crispy garlic chicken and wow it was large pieces and about 50% more food then another typical Thai place. It was chicken breast and they were large chunks and it was very well-made. The brown rice was only $1.50 versus three dollars that other places chargethe lady whom I met that owned. It was super nice and friendly and I am definitely going to come back to try the other dishes.“

“Pad Sew Ew is delicious! Especially with shrimp or beef. Wide noodles are delicious and huge portions! Waitress is very nice, pretty, and prompt. My fav thai spot.“

“Good chicken fried rice and pad Thai chicken“

“Delicious food and friendly staff.“

“This place is so great! ALL the curries!“

“The food is well made and ingredients arr fresh. They are able to accomidate special good needs with care. I had the Pad Thai and the Pad Kee Mao both were delicious. The staff is very friendly and efficient. This has been my favorite Thai restaurant in Burien for years. They have really grown over the years I have been visiting here. They are currently take out only.“

“i eat here every week because i work at the market. the staff is very friendly and kind, thats one reason i go here. i also love their food, i like to get the panang curry with beef or tofu. and ts great to support a small business

Dietary restrictions: they accomodate my personal dietary restrictions with no dairy and also they add potatoes for me. always very accomodating and understanding“

“Great product, great service, great prices and it’s great to see a long time Rainer Valley business still open. I’m sure to check out the new updated location on Ray Near“

“Dexter Gordon playing as we walked in, and the best salmon curry I’ve ever had. My new favorite Thai place.“

“Great option if you have a bit of downtime before the next ferry run. Pork and avacado green curry amazing!“

“I'm at the hotel across the street. I was originally going to walk over to the mall area and the Olive Garden, but I saw the sign for teriyaki and thought it would be good to support a small business.

I walked in through the mini mart. The man behind the counter asked if I was looking for teriyaki after I looked a little lost. He pointed me to the other side of the shop and met me over there.

I wish I'd thought to ask his name. He was very nice and personable. I told him I'd be in town for a couple days and was looking for a good spot. I asked what's good on the menu. He pointed out a few things, but I settled on the spicy orange chicken.

When I checked out, I thought it might be a tad pricey, but I also recognize the importance of helping a small business. While I waited for my order, I went back to the mini mart side and got a ginger ale and some gum. The same gentleman rang me up there.

Then, back next door, I looked at my phone for a minute or two, and he came back to thank me for my patience. While thoughtful, I was not put out at all, I had only placed the order a few minutes before, and it really didn't seem like much of a wait.

My food came out in short order, he bagged it up and put all the things I'd need (utensils, napkins, soy sauce) inside before I asked. He left me with a smile, and I walked across the street to my hotel to eat.

Bringing it up to my room, I saw that it was a lot of food. Honestly, I SHOULD have only eaten half and saved the rest for the next day. But I didn't.

The orange chicken was perfect. Just delicious. The rice was just right. Honestly, I can't think of a thing that would make it better.

Highly recommend for both the food and the service.“

“I had suspected from vibes alone that this would be a great eating experience in Seattle. I called to order two fresh salad rolls, a tofu Pad Thai and side of rice. It was ready as fast as i could drive there, but the ingredients still tasted fresh and toasty.

This is a takeout only location, but the moment inside of the shop obtaining your food has a great ambience, warm, welcoming, clean, and great smells.

I would like to emphasize that one order of fresh rolls is two rolls the size of your head. PHENOMENAL value for fresh rolls. The lettuce is crunchy and, as the name was suggest, very fresh.

I will be returning and making this a staple of my Thai food pick up needs.“

“Service was wonderful and the food was delicious“

“Lunch special menu was great. And appetizers were delicious“

“Supporting a family business has never been as enjoyable as at this hole-in-the wall cafe. You can tell the place is beloved by regulars and makes you want to become one. You immediately feel welcomed the moment you enter and the service and food quality is impeccable.

Kid-friendliness: A quiet, casual spot where you know a child could find something to eat they will enjoy.“

“Don’t think twice about dining at Young’s! Food incredible and comforting. The service is wonderful and quick. Ample street parking. Enjoy some classic breakfast favorites and come in to meet your new favorite fried rice - there are no wrong answers on this menu! Check out this White Center staple.“

“We had an amazing experience for dinner for a group of 6! Tee served us and was very attentive and accommodating with our friend’s dietary restrictions. All of our plates came out at a timely manner, drinks were delicious, and we will be back again! So yummy! 5 🌟“

“I had the cashew chicken (3☆) the sauce was very flavorful, the veggies were perfectly cooked and there was a lot of chicken. Delicious“
