“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!“

“Ray’s Rice and Noodle Bar is such a great find! The restaurant has a cute, clean ambiance, and sitting outside along Greenwood makes for a perfect casual dining experience. The food was incredibly fresh and flavorful — the Pad Thai was absolutely delicious, and the fried eggplant was so fresh and perfectly cooked. Everything tasted vibrant and well-prepared. I’ll definitely be returning!“

“Excellent place for food and the place is very lively.“

“Yummiest plus nicest service �“

“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. ;)“

“Vegan options - the service was so polite and friendly as it was an impulse selection. The crispy rolls and potstickers were a great start...they were hot so let them cool down first before eating. The main courses with a selection of orange tofu, pad see ew, and then of course the 45th street noodles. The 45th street are basically noodles and pho wrapped in a fresh roll, so good! Definitely going back if in the area again!“

“Good chicken fried rice and pad Thai chicken“

“Authentic Thai cuisine. Amazing food. Cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended.“

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

“I have been going to royal palm for over a decade. their Thai food in my opinion is the best I've had in seattle. The owners are so kind and the food is delicious.“

“I’m Thai so I always have high expectations for Thai restaurants. But this place I would give 10 out of 5 stars if I could. I don’t see much Southern Thai food in the area, so this is new and exciting.

They accommodated our 6-person reservation. The portions are on the smaller side, which let us try many dishes. I can say everything we tried was really delicious and authentic. The main highlight was MUU KHO. We had to order it twice. The spiciness level isn’t really at the level of southern food you’d find in Thailand, but I understand why. Myself, from central Thailand, cannot handle the real southern spiciness either, so this was perfect for us.

Service was great and very attentive. There are many other dishes we didn’t try, and we will definitely come back.“

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

“This place is a hidden gem!!!

We came here for restaurant week without knowing much about it and left eager to come back! The food was all really good and a fun fusion of Thai and French or Italian cuisine. The portions were also really generous and we left very full.

Cannot recommend this place enough, highly recommend!“

“delicious food 😋 also the atmosphere is also good ..they also added cello night with Spencer every Tuesday and that's the main attraction 🎁💕💯“

“My favorite restaurant in all of Belltown!!! The food is only topped by the amazing and sweet staff they have. ❤️“

“Ordered dinner tonight, and it was hands down, the best Thai food I’ve ever had in Seattle. The Yes Siam fried rice with pork larb and the yellow curry were amazing.“

“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.“

“The service is excellent and the food is delicious. 10/10 recommend. The restaurant is so cute💕“

“I had the Eggplant Basil today and it was to die for. One of those dishes that make you gasp at the first bite it’s so good. Chili oil and garlic are perfectly balanced to bring out the creamy eggplant flavor and crunchy peppers. Cozy atmosphere and great service.“

“Good place to get Thai food. Lovely interior with great service. They have complimentary soup on weekdays for lunch. Big portion sizes. Chicken was just okay but the noodles and flavor were good. Mild spicy wasn’t spicy at all. I’d come back!“

“Delicious. I throughly enjoyed Tom Kah soup with prawn, Singha Curry with Prawn and the Spring rolls. staff was friendly and helpful to all my questions. I will be returning“

“Delicious food! Some of the best Thai I’ve had. We went here for lunch with family and were beyond impressed. The food, the portions, the service and the friendliness made us feel like we were back in Thailand. This place is a mom and pop joint that will be getting a lot more of our business. Highly recommend if you’re craving some good Thai food. All dishes were awesome and their khao soi is fire!“

“Delicious and gorgeous!!!“

“me and my sisters had a wonderful meal and the best waiter..Eddie W. was soo friendly. delightful and helpful with the menu! can't wait to go back again!“

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

“We had the best Thai food of our LIVES @ Manao! The Noodle Boat Soup is the DIE for, the green beans I have been craving for days, and the crispy pork belly with basil left me wanting to lick my plate! Two thumbs up and all the stars!!!!!“

“The owner is delightful and the service is the best that I have experienced anywhere. Greg Heiden“

“this place is the truth! if you want good quality thai food with an incredible atmosphere and staff thaiku is a must!“

“This is my absolute go-to spot for Thai food. The Lynwood has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the staff members are always friendly, even when it gets busy. No matter what, I always order Stir fried squid with salted egg yolk—it’s a must-have for me. But what keeps things exciting is that they’re always introducing new dishes that bring me right back to home in Thailand. The flavors are authentic, comforting, and full of depth. Their cocktails are also incredible—perfectly balanced and a great complement to the meal. If you’re looking for an authentic Thai experience, this place never disappoints.“

“All 10 women were happy with their food, no complaints. Beef steak, crispy pork, chicken and shrimp, they come with each uniquely tasty sauces! Sweet, sour and little spices. The serving lady and stuff handled 10 women beautifully.
We started at 12 noon on rainy Saturday. no waiting lines. When we finished with delightful roasted coconut ice, the waiting line was long around 1:30 PM.“

“Great food at a reasonable price. Always friendly people working there. mm mm mm😃“

“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!“

“Beef Holy Basil! I am Thai, when I say this Thai food is good.... I mean it!“

“Hands down the best Thai food I’ve had in Seattle, and honestly some of the best food of any kind that I’ve had in my life.

We were a group of six tonight and ordered quite a few dishes to share amongst ourselves. The staff executed the service with so much grace and immaculate timing, which is not easy to do for larger groups!

Every component of every dish was super fresh, perfectly seasoned, beautifully plated. Spice, acidity and sweetness were thoughtfully balanced in everything we ordered. We were all floored and borderline emotional about it. The green papaya salad was crisp, with a bright and complex dressing. The crab fried rice features a generous portion of egg and succulent crab meat, and the rice itself had incredible texture. Their peanut sauce is to die for, it was like velvet! So many beautiful dishes, but those were my personal highlights :)

Overall a truly special meal, exceptionally prepared by professionals who clearly love and honor the food they serve.

It was my first time coming here and the staff told our group they had recently reopened after closing to renovate and refresh their menu. If you haven’t been in a while, it’s time to pay them a visit! I’ll be thinking about this meal for a long time and can’t wait to go back.

Thank you to the attentive and friendly service staff and to the talented and thoughtful chefs who made our food. You are all doing amazing!“

“The food was wonderful!! Full 5 stars! My favorite is the cashew noodle and I love that you can, for a small fee, add an additional serving of protein, which I did. The gyoza was wonderful too. So many restaurants take out is not as nice as at the restaurant, but not theirs. I opened both orders and it was arranged so beautifully, like a pretty picture and it tasted as good as it looked. I'm so happy to have them 5 minutes away. You won't be sorry with what you order, I'm sure it will be excellent too. Thanks for the great food!!“

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

“Casual place with great food and good prices. Mostly serving take out orders but has a few indoor tables. Nice people working hard. Try it, you'll love it. Some dishes have a minimum 2 star spice level, just be aware in case you can't stand a little kick in your food.“

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

“Had a super great dinner last night after the power outage!! Mio (I hope I’m remembering her name right) was top notch, super sweet, and was so attentive to our table. The food was amazing; the yellow curry and the crispy garlic chicken were to die for! You absolutely must try the kaffir lime drops!“

“I've found myself eating here at least twice per week since I discovered it. The food is absolutely awesome and the fact that almost anything can be prepared vegan.. PLUS their 2 star options are more like 3.5-4 star compared to any Asian style cuisine in the area makes a HUGE difference. They might have a cute server also... win-win for everyone.“

“Delicious isn’t a sufficient enough word for the amazing food we had tonight. We will definitely return. Friendly service, clean comfortable environment and the food….. SO GOOD“

“This place is awesome the atmosphere is so nice the staff and owner are wonderful and the food wow!! It’s the best ever. Let me tell you this place is the best Thai restaurant I have ever been in.“

“good food,friendly service, parking can be an issues“

“Ordered the green curry with tofu and the fried whole pompano. Both dishes were a hit! Fragrant creamy curry with vegetables cooked soft paired amazing with the white jasmine rice. Notably the dipping sauce with the fried fish was delicious. Definitely rich Thai umami. Recommend stopping here after visiting Space Needle or Mopop as they are both walking distance from here. 18% tip is pre-included into the bill.“

“Delicious, fresh food! I’ll be back.😋“
