Honestly, the best Thai food we’ve had in Washington state after moving from California. We make an hour drive just to come here.

Amazing view of the harbor too.

I have ordered from here a lot. The dinner menu is 4-8$ more expensive than the lunch menu depending on what item you are ordering. (Pad Thai 4$, crispy garlic chicken 7$ …). If you order at lunch time and don’t specify that you want the lunch menu they will charge you the dinner price. The portions are the same size, lunch is actually more food because it includes sides. You can even say you want the lunch menu and they will give you one item at lunch menu price and the rest at the dinner price and you will have just payed 15$-20$ more for less food. This has happened to me too many times to be an accident. They should give you the lunch menu at lunch time, they should at least ask if you want the lunch menu when you order. They should give you the lunch menu when you specifically ask for lunch menu… All this and the food isn’t even that good, spice level is totally random you can have 1 star be super spicy and have 5 star feel like nothing.

We felt rushed during our meal and didn't feel that we received the same courtesy as other guests. Not long before we started our meal, our server asked if we wanted a box to go. Not long after that, she dropped off a payment device. It was no where near closing time and other guests didn't receive similar treatment. Will not be dining here again.

Super happy to find this place in Gig Harbor. Waitress and staff were knowledgeable about vegan and kitchen easily modified from vegetarian to vegan. Had the spring rolls, mango fried rice, mushroom lover and the best dish I’ve ever had with peanut sauce - I’m still thinking about it - the Rama “tofu peanut sauce”. Going back just for that. Amazing. Updated from previous review on 2026-01-10

This was my 2nd visit after a pretty good first visit. Ordered 3 take out items, 2 with soft tofu and 1 with chicken. Pad See Eiw was very good, except it was 1/2 soft and 1/2 fried tofu. Kitchen may have caught it and added soft tofu, who knows. Ginger chicken was good, good ginger flavor, veggies spot on. The huge disappointment was the Pad Thai. First off, no green onions and only a couple of sprouts. The taste was off from other local Thai places. It wasn’t till my wife said, “this tastes like ketchup on noodles”. That was the perfect taste description. Looking into it, and I’m not saying this is what the kitchen is doing, some Thai places will use watered down ketchup as a cheaper substitute for what is considered the authentic tamarind sauce. You can check for yourselves. It wasn’t good at all. Will we go back, hard to say, but probably not. Everybody has different tastes/likes. This is just an opinion of the experience we had tonight.

All of our main course dishes, the yellow curry, the cashew chicken, pad Thai, Pad See Ew , we're excellent. Don't waste your time with the spring rolls or the fresh rolls. Excellent service and an intimate dining experience be sure to ask for the window in advance as they're only like three window seats. You definitely need to get yourself there and try this restaurant!!! We made reservations and parking is difficult so prepare in advance.

The food was very mediocre the sauce was not good. The squid was overcooked and tough . I had a combination of seafood in a broth in a sauce , actually. It's a wonderful spot with gorgeous view. A very nice atmosphere. They need to improve their food

I really hoped the food would be great for the price we paid, but unfortunately that wasn’t the case.

We ordered the pad Thai which was the best dish we received. We also ordered the Larb Salad which was very very bland, the papaya salad which was way spicier than a “2” (and a very small portion for the price) and the crab rangoons were super fishy… The crunch factor was good, but I couldn’t continue eating them. The pot stickers were ok.

I also ordered childs plate for my son and received no chicken in it and the vegetables were hardly steamed despite my request to cook them all the way through. So he wasn’t able to eat any of it and I had to defrost and cook chicken for him to have with his dinner.
