The lobster phad thai was really good. Everything I've had here was good and they give a lot of food.

Had the garlic chicken. Was good but I've had better. I love that they have pictures of every menu item. I haven't seen that before on a menu. Makes me much more likely to try something new and different. Good service and nice atmosphere. Will definitely return.

I had been here once for a company dinner and remembered it being good, so finally came back to dine in. The Golden Noodle (yellow curry) was super fragrant, with perfectly chewy noodles (not overcooked like some Thai places). There’s also this unique spice note that I couldn’t quite figure out, but loved it! 🤣
That day I was really craving seafood, so I went with the Ocean Delight—totally hit the spot!

Overall, it feels like a Thai restaurant that really puts effort into their dishes. The fried chicken wings at the next table smelled amazing—my tiny stomach couldn’t handle more food this time, but I’m definitely ordering those next time! 🤤

One of my favorite Thai restaurants in the Kirkland area. This tiny restaurant offers dishes with a ton of flavor! They are reasonably priced for the Eastside and offer some of the better service around. I've never had a bad moment ordering food here or engaging with the staff. Highly recommend!

So good and vegetarian options. I always get the Rama Noodles with tofu and extra broccoli. I can usually get 2-3 meals out of one order. My friend and I met for dinner to catch up. We were able to take our time and enjoy our meal. Definitely my favorite Thai restaurant.

Food was honestly pretty good, but the way to order seemed confusing. We had online ordering options on our tables, so some of us used them, but our server got mad that we did that. You might not want those on your tables if it’s going to be an issue with the server. It was all downhill from there.

We were missing drinks & food, and the server was so visibly upset, the people in our group were afraid to even bring those things to her attention. By the time we got all of our stuff, she told us that we needed to pay our tab & leave because they were closed. We had no idea because the hours online did not reflect the time she was telling us. The food is good, but please train your staff better on how to treat customers in communication. If we were rude or unrealistic, that would be one thing, but we were as kind as we could be, and the server was honestly flat out rude.

Parking: Parking was extremely limited. Our whole group had to park across the street & walk over.

My partner and I decided to try this restaurant and ordered six dishes. Based on our experience, much of the food seemed frozen, precooked, or not freshly made. Unfortunately, we were not satisfied with the quality and do not plan to return.

Seattle has many Thai food options, and I’ve eaten Thai cuisine both in Thailand and across the U.S., so I had certain expectations. Others may enjoy this restaurant, but it didn’t meet either of our preferences.

For example, the spinach and chicken dish was simply raw spinach with plain dry pieces chicken, which surprised us since we expected it to be cooked and flavored. The rice had a noticeable smoky flavor, seemed dry and oily, and contained what appeared to be canned ingredients. Typically, we expect Thai rice to be fresh, slightly sticky, and chewy. The chicken was dry, and the salmon was hard and tasted freezer-burnt and cold. We also weren’t sure about the blue color in the rice. And the sauce was very watery. Their peanut sauce is good. And the brown rice was good cooked soft and moist.

While this place might be a good fit for others, our experience wasn’t what we had hoped for. If you’re curious, you may want to try it for yourself.
