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!“

“The owner was so welcoming and kind, hardworking and passionate about her food and providing a great experience! She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for us even though we were the last customers of the night and were there a bit past close.

The portion sizes were big and the food was outstanding, this was the best restaurant experience I have had in Seattle!“

“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.“

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

“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“

“I have been coming here for a little over a year with my best friend.

This restaurant has some more authentic dishes, flavors, and spices not every Thai restaurant typically has.

Favorites here are Chicken larb, papaya salad, sticky rice, and their Currys are really good.

Sorry I do not have any photos currently, but overall experience to rate us sometimes just as important.

It's very small so somewhat limited parking. Just saw a sign inside that customers are allowed to park inside the motel gate as well so keep that in mind when visiting this restaurant.“

“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.“

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

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

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

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

“Great spot! Fresh, bold flavors and fast service. The chicken tikka roll is amazing. Definitely worth a stop.“

“We have transited past Bua 9 for several years and finally dropped in. Our order came out quickly! And graciously served. Everyone was real nice (including the patrons, which speaks volumes). It's true: hard to get bad Thai food in Seattle. But each dish was true to its intention, and correctly spiced. Very delicious! Panang curry with brown (red! Maroon) rice was delightful. Pad Kee Mao was correct, vegetables perfectly cooked. We selected the basil fried rice and it had the right waké. The swimming rama was all of the things. Next time we won't wait nearly as long to come back.“

“Great food and the best service .“

“The pad thai the the best I've had in Seattle. The pineapple rice at a three star heat had a lovely mouth numbing spice. The fresh chicken lettuce wraps, they have you make at the table. I highly recommend asking for an extra serving of the cucumber salad if you get that, since it is delicious and there is a LOT more chicken than salad to stuff the wraps with.

The fried rice is a crazy amount of food. Awesome value, and the smell of the golden rice is just magical.

Service was friendly and prompt, even though we were in there 10 pm on a Friday.

I'll be by again. What an awesome place.“

“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.“

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

“We ordered the huli chicken & short rib combo plate, which was enough for my husband and me. The place was nearly empty and the food came out really fast. First bite and my feet started tapping on the floor happily 😊 10 outta 10 will be back!“

“Had Pablo prawns and Mongolian beef friendly staff“

“Just ate some of the best Thai food I have ever had. My wife had delicious Panang Curry and I had Pad Thai, but challenged the kitchen to make it as spicy as they can. It was so delicious and super spicy. Chan waited on us and was amazing. Super friendly and definitely will be back because of the food and the service.“

“There's a few gems hidden in Tukwila and Mali Thai is one of them! We've coming been here for years and the foods, it never disappoint! They're mango salad with fried fish, papaya salad and salmon curry! THE BEST IN TOWN!!!
You've gotta hit up Mali thai if you're craving thai!“

“Good chicken fried rice and pad Thai chicken“

“Best Thai food in Kent 😍💕“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Argh!! I can’t forgive…….. myself!.. for not taking pictures of their yummy food. We had their delicious Dungeness crab fried rice, khao man gai (poached? chicken, crispy chicken khao soi (fried chicken in Thai curry), crème brûlée cheesecake, and mango sticky rice.

Chef’s kiss to each dish! Fresh. Super tasty. And warming!

And the waitstaff communicated really well when our crab fried rice was a bit delayed. They checked in on us, were generous and excited for us to try all the sauces when we were between two, and were naturally friendly—not pushy!

Can’t wait to go back!“

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

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

“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.“

“Service was wonderful and the food was delicious“

“Delicious food and friendly staff.“

“I had the tofu pad kee mao here and it was one of the best pad kee mao I’ve had, which is saying a lot because I order it every time I try a new Thai place. Excellent balance of flavors, veggies were the right level of tender, not too greasy but still very well fried. 10/10.“

“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.“

“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

“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.“

“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.“

“Best place for lunch in Georgetown hands down“
