It’s sad that I couldn’t dine in due to my trip schedule and condition. I placed an online order for lobster roll and golden cauliflower. Both were amazing!!! I had my lobster roll medium but it was sooooo spicy. I recommend mild or non spicy if you can’t take heat. (I can take shin ramen level of spiciness fyi)
I also recommend dining in for these dishes because take out can get soggy quick. But these were still good. I can only imagine how this could have been dining in.
The service was also great. The gentleman let me stay inside while I wait for my Lyft. Interior design was top notch and luxurious. I wish I had more time in Seattle but I will be for sure back!!

Very good food. Any time I get Asian food I ask for very spicy and I'm lucky to get some spice. Not here, I ordered the Shan Curry and it was as described, very very spicy! I loved it but would not recommend to anybody that is not a fan of lingering heat. Would absolutely get it again. My wife got the Bangkok crab fried rice and she loved it as well.

When we arrived we got seated right away and our waiter kept checking in on us which was really great. The soft shell crab was okay but the truffle fries were nice n crispy. The Ube Milk Punch was perfection! They even provided dessert on the house which I thought was such a nice added touch. The service was amazing which made it extra special since they didn’t even know it was my birthday. Thank you for your service!

Went for a birthday celebration on a Thursday night. The place was empty. The staff were very friendly. Appetizers came before drinks. Entrees came at very different times with long wait time for the last person’s food to arrive. There was one other table seated besides us. The pad Thai noodles were overdone and there was way too much sauce, almost like syrup. The corn in the salad had a really weird texture. The flavors were bright and bold but the dishes overall just didn’t come together for a full execution. They did give us dessert on the house. It was a promotion, not from any complaints. The ice cream was delicious but the corn and tapioca didn’t go together. The loud 90s hip hop threw the ambience off and it was very cold. There are so many great Asian restaurants in Seattle. Sadly, I can’t recommend this place. It was a birthday dinner let down.

Food was good once it finally came out. We had reservations and the place was mostly empty when we showed up at 6:30 on a Sunday. Service was SLOW. They didn’t take our drink order until we had been seated 20 minutes and it took them 90 minutes to turn our table (in an almost empty restaurant). Tasted like standard Thai food you can get most other places for half the price (the online menu doesn’t tell you protein is an up charge for most entrees, even if you just want chicken). My last rant: no kids menu. My daughter is 6 and doesn’t do Thai. This is the first Thai restaurant I’ve been to with no kids menu (and I’ve dined many major cities as well as suburban ones). They had a $20 burger on the main menu we ordered with just meat, cheese and bun … still $20. Spent $250 on a dinner for 4 in Seattle that felt like we could’ve gotten from a food truck twice as fast.
Our experience at the restaurant was disappointing. The food was served cold and lacked flavor, that made us return most of the dishes we ordered. Would never come back again or recommend this place.

Beautiful space paired with excellent South East Asian cuisine and wonderful owners/staff. Serious attention to detail in transforming this space. A wide variety of foods, everything we tried was delicious. For people that like spicy, go for level 4 or 5 to get the kick.
The cocktails are excellent as well. A lot of house made delicious ingredients. Looking forward to trying all the seasonal additions.
