Mae Phim has become my go-to when I'm in Seattle. If you can ignore the a lack of curb appeal and modest interior decor, you'll find a delicious meal waiting for you. The green curry dish is SO delicious, aromatic and flavorful, served in a large portion with rice. The fresh rolls and peanut sauce are so good that I order two servings and take one to eat on the plane the next day. The servers are lovely and the restaurant runs a bustling take-out business. I highly recommend this place! It's located just a couple of blocks from Pike's Market.

Delicious...even if eaten as cold leftovers. If it were slightly cheaper (or larger portions) I'd order it regularly. GrubHub delivery was free and courteous. Also would have appreciated slightly larger portion for money. And they didn't make one of my dishes spicy as requested. Finally a suggestion: pull the tails off the shrimp so customers don't have to.UPDATED REVIEW: Lowering rating by one star to 3 stars because containers are only 75% filled with curry (and portion size is already small). Please properly fill your containers.

I have loved Mae Phim for years. The owners and employees have always been helpful, awesome, and polite. This is a place that never had any problem serving my friends who are gluten free. I can honestly say that in my 50-100 orders I have only been let down once when they ran out of what I ordered. However, it didn't matter because there are so many great option on their menu. My only complaint is that they didn't move to Kenmore when I moved here from downtown Seattle.

We ordered for takeout and got the chicken panang curry, lunch combo rama, potstickers and thai iced coffee. The panang curry and lunch combo was really good. Not a fan of their potstickers. Will definitely order more takeout.

Ordered online takeout 5/10/20, hopefully on the tail-end of the corona hysteria. 90+ % of the shops in downtown Seattle are still closed, so appreciate this place being open. Food was ready right on-time, and was really good. Std chicken satay and pad Thai...both done really well. Only downside is the collection of down-on their-luck folks (40+ this evening) on the nearby corner. They tend to gather here, but seems like more so nowadays. Just be careful.

Cheap fast tasty Thai food. I would have lunch here weekly when I worked at the office in the area. Very happy with their food and service, great for my quick lunch break. My favorite: green curry with a Thai tea!

I just got back from living 6 months in Thailand and this was the most terrible Thai food I have ever tasted. Cheap rice noodles instead of egg noodles. Cheap tofu and curry sauce too vingary. Once I gave my compliant, she just got upset, didn't offer to redo, take off bill or replace the meal. Don't waste your time with fraudulent overpriced Thai food.

Really happy with this Thai Restaurant in downtown Seattle. I used the Ritual App and was able to get both my meals from Mae Phim for 3-4$ because Ritual gave me a 5$ voucher each time.

If you blink you will miss it. Found it walking down Pikes st. Insides of the restaurant are bare minimum. Food is part delicious. We had a green curry, egg fried rice, spring rolls. Spring rolls are not good. They are the frozen ones which are fried in very hot oil. I would come back to try a few other curries.

I love their pumpkin curry! Absolutely delicious. General tip: curries will usually be spicier than a dry dish of the same spicy level.
Delicious Thai food in DTSEA! I used ritual, so I got the meal for 4$ The food was ready when I walked in. No waiting at all. Just picked up and went to the office!!! I ordered Tofu Fried Rice Spice Level Hot! It was tasty Not too hot at all but it passes

I love their Green Curry! I ordered it with soft tofu and it was delicious. The curry sauce is very rich and flavourful.

The food is meh. My noodles were only half tossed in the sauce, so the untossed half were just all stuck together. Flavor was good, portion was good, price was good, but overall it wasn't great, just alright.

The food was great! Veggie fried rice has a distinct and wonderful flavor and texture, super tasty!
