39 Best Thai Restaurants near Federal Way

“When I first moved to the neighborhood, this was the very first place my awesome neighbors recommended… and I’m so glad they did! The food is delicious, the service friendly and prompt, and the atmosphere is welcoming, clean, and unpretentious.
It has become the place my family looks forward to eating when they visit, and where my partner and I go when we need a little treat (or order takeout from when we need a little comfort).

My personal favorite is the Rama Noodles, because the pan-fried noodles are perfectly tender and chewy with exceptional flavor, and the peanut sauce… I mean, I would honestly lick the plate afterwards if I had only slightly less dignity!

That said, everything we’ve ordered from there has been top-tier. Highly recommend!“

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

“Delicious food. Pad Thai is as good as anywhere I have been. Fresh Spring were excellent too. Fantastic.“

“I wasnt feeling well a d had an urge for something spicy. I ordered phad thai at the spiciest and have to say that it was DELICIOUS! I usually have to add spice, but it was the perfect amount (for me, my husband not so much lol) and the flavor was AMAZING! I am definitely going to eat from here again soon!“

“Had a dinner out with friends and was pleasantly surprised! I usually like my drunken noodles and pad see ew quite saucy and this one fit the bill! The spice level is pretty true to the scale of what I expect in a Thai restaurant. Swimming rama is nice and saucy while maintaining the nice crunchy texture of the steamed veggies. If you like khao soi, Chiang mai noodle is basically that and it is quite coconuty and delicious! Don't forget to ask for the spice/sauce bar! Price is quite reasonable and the service was great-- refilled the water twice. Definitely would love to come here again!“

“This place has been here for quite a while but I always found it to been too busy. Our favorite place closed so we decided to give Thai Bistro another try. The food is excellent and the portions are mostly good. They have a dish called Sweet Chili that we really like. The atmosphere is very nice. Tastefully decorated.“

“Wow is truly all I can say. My husband and I met in Pai, Thailand (Northern Thailand) and fell in love in the town of love. We love Thai food but wrote off Thai food in Washington state because it was Americanized. When we opened the menus, our mouths dropped—Larb!!!! Papaya Salad!!? Khao Soi!! And several other Northern Thai dishes.

We ordered the garlic pork ribs, Panang Curry, and Pad See Ew, and holy cow, it was the best Thai food we have had in the US, period. It was even some of the best Northern Thai food we’ve ever had in Thailand. My husband, who often gets overly excited when we find a new spot, was raving about it. He was over the moon. My little sister, who is a picky eater, was raving about her Pad See Ew. The noodles were made fresh and melted in the mouth.

My husband heard Thai people speaking in the kitchen and smiled. The prices were reasonable and I just can’t say enough about the incredible food and incredible service. I also ordered the crying tiger salad (Suea Rong Hai) and it was equally as wonderful. The owner is such a sweet lady and was incredibly welcoming. We will absolutely be back.“

“พอดีรู้จักร้านจากการไปเที่ยว Tawa Thai fastival ที่ผ่านมา สั่งยำแซลม่อนมาทาน แล้วรู้สึกคิดถึงบ้านที่ไทยมากกก อร่อยมากๆเลยค่ะ ไว้ผ่านไปจะไปแวะทางอาหารนะคะ อร่อยๆจริงๆค่ะ“

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

“I ordered food Appethaizing Thaih through uber eats. When the food arrived, we saw we only got our appetizers. I tried to contact the Uber driver in vain. So then I called the restaurant and was told the driver had only gotten one bag of food. The restaurant called the driver as soon as they realized he'd only picked up a portion of the order, but the driver's response was a noncommittal 'okay'. They hung up and we hoped the uber driver would return to the restaurant. I then got a call back from the restaurant. The uber driver never came back, so the owner himself drove the food out to our home. WOW. The food was also so delicious!!! Thank you, thank you! We so appreciate our local restaurants!!!“

“My daughter and I love their good food an great service!“

“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!“

“Thumbs up. Employees wearing masks properly“

“Yummy original Thai noodle, Foods & Thai Milk Tea.“

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

“best clam chowder hands down, food is amazing everytime we come here“

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

“I can't believe I've lived in this area for more than a decade and never stopped into Koong Thong Thai Restaurant. What a pleasant surprise!

I'm pretty particular about Thai food, and I have one dish I order everywhere I go: Drunken Wide Noodles (Pad Kee Mao). My philosophy is simple—if a restaurant can make an outstanding plate of drunken noodles, chances are they know how to cook everything else well.

Koong Thong did not disappoint. The noodles were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Every bite had a balanced, authentic taste without being overly salty or greasy. You could tell the ingredients were fresh, and the quality really stood out.

What impressed me just as much was the value. The portions were generous, the prices were very reasonable, and the overall experience far exceeded my expectations. It has that hidden-gem, neighborhood feel—the kind of place you almost don't want to tell anyone about because it's such a great find.

If you've driven by this restaurant like I have for years without stopping, do yourself a favor and give it a try. I'm so glad I finally did, and I'll definitely be coming back to explore more of the menu.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for fresh, authentic, affordable Thai food with wonderful flavors and friendly service!“

“Great food and the best service .“

“Called for Birthday takeout food, and was told it would be ready in 15 minutes. When you order "mild spicy," it's actually mild by farang standards, not Thai (which would blow your head off).“

“Absolute best food, service, and price around town. Deserves a million+ stars 💓. Owner operator that's been doing it for many years is a testament to the quality. Lunch special is everything one could ask for, soup, salad, rice, and yummy noodles with plenty of spice if that's how you get down! I couldn't recommend this establishment more and I don't really eat out much since most restaurants are ridiculous. To legit to quit it's noodle time lol!“

“Affordable without sacrificing quality, is locally owned and operated, but most of all my family LOVES the delicious comforting food, as well as the owner/cook who is such a lovely and friendly lady, who always greets us with a smile and warmth...love that! Support this local business!🥰“

“Delicious curry tofu. love the summer rolls!“

“We catered food from Yamada Teriyaki and were blown away. The samosas were perfectly crispy and flavorful, and the House Special Fried Rice was a total hit, generously loaded with tender meat, shrimp, and vegetables, all seasoned to perfection.

Everything arrived fresh, hot, and beautifully packed. The portions were generous, and the quality was outstanding. The service was smooth, friendly, and reliable. For the price and portion sizes, the catering option is absolutely worth it.

One thing I also really like is that Mandalay Deli Mart is right next door, so it is super convenient to grab drinks, snacks, Burmese goodies, or quick deli items all in one stop.

Highly recommend Yamada Teriyaki for catering, authentic flavors, great presentation, and excellent value. We will definitely be back for more.“

“Best Thai food in Kent 😍💕“

“Stopped by around 7pm on a Wednesday. Very few customers present so we were seated upon arrival. Water had a chemical taste so we both ordered carbonated water. Simply Thai Fried Rice was very tasty and quite filling so we ended up taking home about half of it in a box. The Larb Salad was very tasty and quite spicy so I wished I would have ordered 2 star hotness instead of 3 stars, but it was delicious. Service was very good.“

“Good chicken fried rice and pad Thai chicken“

“our first time here, my experienced Asian dining partner said it's all authentic. we both agree the food is phenomenal.“

“I had lunch with my daughter. So yum 😋 thanks“

“Smallish place, feels family owned. Service prompt. Food not overly oily with good flavor balance. They have vegetarian options but unfortunately some sauces like the pad thai sauce, is pretty made and contains fish sauce. So may be less veggie options than you would expect at most Thai restaurants.“

“They now have new containers and way less food in them and the price is really high. I paid 17.00 for a small container that was mostly rice. i dont think i will be coming here anymore as of June 6th 2024 Maple Valley resturaunt“

“Service was wonderful and the food was delicious“

“We ordered an Uber delivery. My favorite Thai dish is Pad Thai with tofu, this was the best I have ever had. My husband’s meat combo pho was delicious. Definitely a do over!“

“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.“

“Omg just had BMK for the 1st time. My burger was so heavenly. Not a crumb left. Great customer service too.“

“Fried rice over here I really good 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻“

“We lived in Laos for 7 years and love Lao food. This is by far the most authentic tasting Lao food that we have found. We especially like their nem khao, Lao style sausages, and their jeow mak lin is the only real-tasting Lao tomato salsa that I have ever found outside of Laos or my wife's kitchen. They have done amazing job with their flavors and indoor casual atmosphere (feels very modern Vientiane chic). They seem to have a hard time keeping their khao piak noodles on hand so if you really your khao piak fix, be sure to call ahead. I have now been to Sweet Rice 5 times and they have never had the khao piak noodles. If you want really good Lao food and can't get over there, you can get your fix at Sweet Rice!“

“I had the pineapple fried rice with chicken and level 3 spicy. This has got to be the best fried rice I have ever had. Level 3 spicy is not that spicy, to me anyway, I could have done level 4. So much flavor. The chicken was tender and moist. The pineapple was juicy. The rice had a good curry flavor and wasn't dry. 10/10 highly recommend. Staff was friendly and the service was great.“

“my husband and I enjoy coming here, great good, the atmosphere is amazing and the manager Makayla is on point! She creates delicious and beautiful cocktails as well. definitely recommend for a romantic night out.“
