20 Best Thai Restaurants near Lacey

“My absolute favorite Thai restaurant in Lacey and the surrounding areas. Generous portions and the staff is so nice. I’ve had several different dishes there and I’ve never had one I don’t like, but my favorites are the pad Thai and cashew chicken. Yum!“

“Always consistent Yummy Food!“

“I have absolutely nothing bad to say. Food was terrific, our waitress was friendly and fantastic, really a hidden gem of lacey. Ill be back to eat here regularly. Also, hands down the best thai food ive had in the olympia area, period

Adjusted stars down since they aren't always open hours stated. I stopped by at 7:30 in saturday and they were closed.“

“The best Thai food I've ever had the honor to eat. It's the reason we had them cater our wedding. They were accommodating to our food restrictions (and were creative enough to make it fabulous for all who attended), thought up, created and had us sample off-the-menu delicacies they created just for our event that I still dream about. OMG it was soooo good!!! Hospitable. CLEAN!!!! Thank you Chef Ron and beautiful and BRILLIANT Jaruwon (Jenny)!!!! Destined for success through creative, edgy, honest, fresh and amazing food? You are there!“

“Had a great lunch! Food and service was good!“

“This is our go-to local Thai place. One of the owners, Noy is very friendly and very quickly remembered our order and preferences, including a peanut allergy and being knowledgeable about vegan options/adaptations. The tom kha soup here is one of our favorites from anywhere, and we usually also rotate between the pad see ew & massaman curry. The bok choy garlic is a stand out appetizer. Place is very clean as well.“

“We absolutely LOVE the food here :) Have never had a bad experience in 20+ years of eating here. Highly recommended!“

“Love this place. I don't understand how quiet it always is when we go. Hands down the best thai food in olympia and lacey. All the others just don't compare . Me and my wife go once a week. Some of my wifes coworkers go atleast once a week for lunch. The food is awesome.pineapple curry and pork thai fried rice is my fave. The pad thai is tasty too.“

“Không gian thoáng và đồ ăn ngon“

“We found this place while moving and needing take out. We have now ordered there 3 times this week. The first time we ordered, we were so happy. The food is beyond delicious. We ordered a second time hoping it wasn't a fluke. It wasn't. The second time was equally delicious. We ordered a third time this week, today, and again, delicious! Honestly, I feel like delicious is an understatement. The prices are a little high, but it is high quality food. I highly recommend eating here. Food we've tried: Mongolian beef, Mongolian chicken, orange chicken, sweet n sour chicken, cashew nut chicken, pad thai, chow mein, fried rice (the only dish that was mid). Eat here, you won't be disappointed.“

“We walked in around 4pm on Saturday. The restaurant was empty but they have a very good rate on reviews, I was afraid it would disappoint us but after saw the menu.. we like most of them, specially on the back of their menu has the all day house specials! I ordered the “pineapple lover” and my husband ordered “spicy garlic stirred fry” which were very yummy. Ended up with great food, perfect portions (for us) most of all great service!“

“By far the best pad thai on the westside. In terms of flavor, speed and presentation, it doesn't get much better. Have showed this place to out of town friends and they love it. Been going here every once in a while for years and the quality hasn't changed. Ran by some wonderful people.“

“This is our absolute favorite place to go. We love the owners and the food is to die for! Every plate is amazing. 🥰 This is a weekly spot for us.“

“The food was delicious. Service was the perfect combination of attentive without being overbearing.

One word of advice, their spice scale is tailored now towards people without spice tolerance. My four was much closer to my normal two. But the flavor was great!!“

“We got the Pad Thai and the Chow Mein with a hot level spiciness and they were both amazing! The fried tofu is also a delicious appetizer. We got our food delivered this time and it was just as good as when we go to the restaurant. The staff are always professional and helpful and will get you what you need in a really good amount of time! Bonus tip: 10/10 would recommend the black rice mango“

Food was delish!!
Veggies were fresh & crispy, flavors were wonderful!
Thai Beef Salad
Lemongrass garden w/chicken

“The food here is SO good. It’s always a treat to get Pattaya Thai express. We love the Thai fried rice and also the pad Thai. The food always tastes really fresh. The curry soup is perfect if you have a cold. Great friendly staff & convenient location too.“

“FAV! ever since i moved away i miss danang sooo much! i wish there was one in chicagoland ❤️“

“Went for my birthday and we all really enjoyed the food, portions, kindness, atmosphere, and very reasonable prices. My daughter accidentally left her purse and they actually came to our address to drop it off to her. We were shocked. We would have been loyal customers before they went above and beyond. We can't recommend them enough!!“

“I’ve ordered the Thai fried rice and mango sticky rice from Nana Pattaya Express several times now—and I’ll keep coming back. They’re absolutely one of my favorites.

That said, I must say some of the reviews listed here are ignorant, and frankly, biased.

While I agree that the fried rice was a bit too spicy for a level 2 heat the first time I ordered it, I’ve since requested it with level 0 spiciness and less salt—and it came out perfect.

As for the mango sticky rice, I couldn’t help but cackled at the comment claiming that the green hue on the sticky rice is a food safety concern. The ignorance and arrogance really showed through.

If you’re unfamiliar with Southeast Asian food culture, do yourself a favor and Google the word “pandan.” You’ll understand exactly what it is.

Good food comes with a willingness to explore and respect cultural differences. Nana Pattaya Express is a gem for those who appreciate authentic flavors and are open to learning along the way.

P.S. The cashier and chef has been nothing but kind, polite and cordial to me. And I don’t even speak Thai. Maybe try to be a decent human being and be nicer to them? They ain’t your servants you know.“
