50 Best Thai Restaurants near Mercer Island

“My second time here in recent past, and both times I was happy with my food but a little sad to see when I walked it it was otherwise empty. I see a lot of negative reviews in the past for here, and I don't get it. Other than I think people's expectations for instant gratification may be a big influence. Came here with my parents as walk-ins on a Wednesday. Place was empty. Another group of 6 came in with a reservation after us. They definitely do a decent amount of takeout business, but I hope people support this place! It's a no-nonsense mom & pop little restaurant with good Thai food. I had the Chiang Mai Noodles which is in a yellow curry like a soup. Beautiful presentation (see picture), I ordered 4 star spiciness and received the perfect bit of burn and runny nose, extremely flavorful, noodles were perfect, crispy noodles on top for some crunch. It was a generous serving but I just devoured it until the bowl was empty. My mom had pad Thai, my dad the red curry, both were happy. Also got the crab crispy dumpling appetizer and fresh rolls to start and they were fresh and great! This is great Thai food serving a local community. If you want Michelin star service, go pay $500 per person somewhere downtown Seattle or whatever. My food was tasty. My water was refilled. Food came out at a normal speed because they weren't busy, and the group of 6 that ordered after us also got their food soon after and they all seemed pleased. They asked to make sure there were no peanuts in one person's dish due to allergy and that they used Canola oil and not peanut oil, both of which the server confirmed. Support small businesses and restaurants, it's tough out there for these little places!“

“Great prices, great service, good food, quick. One of my fav lunch spots in the area.“

“I was looking for a good Thai place near my home, and I’m so glad I found this one—highly recommend!

First, the space is huge. Like you can see in the photos, there are lots of tables on the first floor, a separate room for group seating, and even a second floor. They also have bar seats. The interior (including the lighting) is really nice, and the staff was very friendly.

We ordered Crab Rangoon as an appetizer, and for the main dishes we got Gang Panang curry and drunken noodles. The Crab Rangoon was crispy, and the cheese inside was rich and creamy. The main dishes were great too, especially because they included a lot of different vegetables. Some places have mostly meat or noodles, but this one had plenty of veggies, so it felt more balanced and still really tasty.

You can choose the spice level. We got level 1 and level 2, respectively. Level 1 was already a little spicy, and level 2 was pretty spicy. If you don’t handle spicy food well, keep that in mind.

The only downside was that they leave water on each table ahead of time, so it wasn’t cold at all. Other than that, I loved everything. This is my new favorite Thai spot!“

“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.“

“Fantastic eats, lovely vibe, stellar service. Highly recommend.“

“Best Thai food in town ever ❤️ Nice owner, staff with authentic Thai food. Love Love Love“

“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. ;)“

“Lovely little neighborhood spot. Delicious options, they turn up the heat. You can watch em cook in the exposed kitchen.

Fair warning it’s about 15% more expensive than other Thai spots around and the portions are a little small but it’s a local spot and some of the best Thai in Wallingford.“

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

“The Moo Hong or the Phuket style pork belly stew with eggs was absolutly delicious. It was tender and juicy and the sweet, sour, and salty sauce to accompany the pork belly had me salivating for more. The Karee puffs as an appetizer were delicious too with a pickled salad to accompany it that gave it a refreshing taste to compliment the potato curry.“

“I have come here a handful of times with my partner and I love it! I don't think I have ever had a bad dish here. I try to order something different each time but there is so much to choose from! And so far my favorite is the basil stir fry and the eggplant basil stir fry. The portions are generous for the price. I like to order 2 or 3 dishes and then take the leftovers. They last me a few days afterward! The staff is very friendly and I enjoy my conversations with them. All in all, a great place. If I lived closer, I'd probably come here several times a week.“

“Good chicken fried rice and pad Thai chicken“

“Yummiest plus nicest service �“

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

“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!!!!!“

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

“I appreciate the thought and time that goes into an order, as small as a happy hour order or a post-special Valentine’s Day event, which encompasses quality happy hour food and high-end Thai fusion cuisine. There wasn’t a craving that 8py didn’t satisfy!!!!!!! I thank the staff, bartender, and owner, for their patience and high quality service, as well as the chef that accommodated our wishes! My party of 4+ always leaves satisfied. Thank you, Ben!! Will return again and again and again!!“

“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.“

“Great service and the food is AMAZING! Our server, In, remember us from our last visit and even remembered what I ordered.“

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

“This is truly my favorite restaurant. I go here allllll the time. My favorite dishes are the khao soi, side salad (their dressing is phenomenal), cashew nut entree, spicy basil entree. If you want a simple takeout, this is the place to go. They also have a large projector where they sometimes show live streams of night markets so it’s a super inviting environment to dine in as well. You can also watch them cook because the kitchen is connected. I literally love this place so much, a review is long overdue. 1000000/10
(This pic is of my takeout cashew nut entree)“

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

“Best Panang Curry and Basil Chicken in Seattle“

“The food tastes just like it does in Thailand!
The service was great, and the vibe honestly reminds me of eating street food in Thailand.
It's really chill and laid-back. We ordered the crispy pork belly with Thai basil, and they use real Thai basil—not regular basil. It's a big deal for Thai people because the flavor and aroma are completely different. Of course, we dug right into it and forgot to take a picture of crispy pork belly dish🫣🤭 If you're looking for a place to enjoy casual, delicious Thai food, this is the place!“

“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“

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

“I always take a risk ordering chicken pad thai because freezer-burned chicken is way too common at Thai restaurants in my experience. Siam on Eastlake got it right, tasty chicken with no weird frozen taste.
The pad thai and drunken noodles were both amazing, portions were generous, and the service was attentive.
Will definitely be back!“

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

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

“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!!“

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

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

“Ordered a beef noodle soup that was very delicious. The soup was very tasty that has just the right amount of flavor. Service was excellent that the server was very attentive and friendly. The place is very clean and welcoming. They are located in a small shopping center that has a plenty of parking space. Highly recommended.“

“Delicious and gorgeous!!!“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Had a great date night at Bua 9 Thai Cuisine! The food was delicious and authentic, the portions were generous, and the staff were friendly. Cozy atmosphere perfect for couples. 🌶️❤️🍜“

“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“

“Got takeout from here today. Absolutely amazing food. My portion of Crispy Garlic Fried Rice was definitely enough for two meals. Best Thai Food I've had in Seattle!!“

“Today we came to this restaurant for the first time without a reservation and they quickly found us a table, took our order and brought the food fast. We wanted to try one dish but it had pork, and our server Tukta kindly helped us choose another option and made sure the ingredients worked for us. She was very attentive, kept checking if everything was good and was smiling the whole time. It was really pleasant interacting with her. If we come back to this restaurant it will definitely be because of her hospitality. I truly felt like I was in Thailand.“

“Great food and the best service .“

“Wow! Perfect dining experience. Friendly staff, amazing food and drinks, fun atmosphere, I highly recommend this place! 🙏“

“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.“

“Extremely friendly and efficient service. Food was also delicious - chicken kee mao and pad see ew were fantastic. Only reason for 4 stars is the food isn't very spicy. Ordered a 5/5 spicy and it felt more like a mild/maybe medium spice level.“
