Nobody pay attention for the service tbh , I saw a guy stand at the front door for a while but nobody come to guide him to sit so he left. I had to wait for a while to ask someone to add more water. The food is not good too, the fried rice is too oily. And the salad is too salty.

This place has the best Tofu Phad Kee Mao in Seattle! Great curry and cocktails too. Laid back atmosphere, great service. A word of caution though, I like spicy food and two stars is all I can comfortably handle at this place. I normally like 3 or 4 stars.

Highly recommend this local thai spot for a cozy date night. Some delicious dishes include their tom kha, satay, spring rolls, crab fried rice (with spicy fish sauce slaps) and braised duck noodle soup.

I was about to order a take out here, And they included tip which is mandatory. I am not against tipping but this is insane to pay tip for takeout which is literally their job to serve food for what I pay without even taking a stress to serve me.When I asked I am not ready to pay she refused to take order.
Adding this coz I can’t reply
Support service industry? Aren’t you giving salaries already? If I refuse to pay tip for take out probably you should take it off..!! You straight away said that You don’t wanna pay and I said yes… Then you backed off and said thank you. You’re greedy on tips even if you’re charging for food, even if it’s a takeaway. Tipping is appreciated act not a forced imposition on people’s pocket. Insane reply ever. Admit that you’re wrong. Yeah I am not against tipping that doesn’t mean you can take against my will. And open your eyes and read all the reviews everyone is talking about your forced 20% tip. Greedy management. I hope the customers should read my review and back off before getting robbed

The most incredible Thai food that I've ever had! My favorites in the Seattle region are Hanuman Thai and Araya (both of which are still great) but I think Kaosamai tops it all. The food is from northern Thailand and is generally spicier than conventional Thai food. So if you go for 3 on spice level on other restaurants, you might want to go with 2 here. The pepper tofu, the mango salad and the Taro fritter were 3 items that were super unique and something that definitely worth a try. Overall, excellent and 5 star food and service! Pls make it a stop if you are in the Fremont area in seattle. They also have two food trucks up by the Amazon in Belltown.

Rude, really bad and awful service! Those waitresses needs to go back to school and learn some manners.The only reason for their attitude is the mandatory tips they add to your check.Gratuity is EARNED not forced on your customers .Even if you have the best food on the world a bad service it will ruin it for you and never come back.Hope the Owner realizes this before his/her business goes down the drain.20%tips for awful service is a robbery.

Level 5 spicy is really really spicy. Level 4 is alright.
Extremely delicious restaurant…poor customer service. Not my first time coming and eating in at this place but this is my first experience of bad/unsanitary service. We were seated by the male host, he set our table up, asked us if he could get us started on drinks, returned with drinks and he took our order. Absolutely amazing and friendly. He checked on our table multiple times. As we were waiting, there is a female buss girl who was being quite rude to some customers in the super small area, one being a complaint about the food and she straight up told him that he doesn’t have to like it and she could take it back. Biggest issue is she is wearing gloves - like handling dirty dishes, grabbing your credit card, handing you your bill, and giving you your fresh food…that is unsanitary. You can’t even do that in a hospital. We were there on a Soupocalypse Fremont quest to get the gift prize at the end. We were on our 7th bowl of soup. My partner in crime, girlfriend and I were ordering a bowl to share and we would get our tickets on each of our cards and go to the next place! Yeah this place is literally no fun when it comes to locals events, we got swindled by the buss girl, who took over our table out of nowhere after seeing dirty dishes on the side, into buying another 4 serving bowl of soup after already ordering a 4 serving bowl of soup and kept saying “2 soup 2 sticker” and shaking her head at us. (Not really swindled since the food is so goddamn good) extremely expensive as well so be warned, as well as they do a 15% added on to every bill (10% for back staff 5% for front staff) on top asking for tips starting at 20%. Anyway, I explained that we were on our 7th restaurant and that every single place we have been to has been doing one bowl 3 stickers and she was just soo set in stone and didn’t want us to get to the prize! True rule followers right there! Quest was almost a failure if it weren’t for the other restaurants! Not so sure if I’ll be back for a while. Maybe in the fall, see you then <3

Had so much hope for this place. Alas, the food was bland expect raw heat, and a mandatory 20% service fee even for takeout. Didn't end there, they present a screen to add tips on top of the mandatory 20%.
