this place is the truth! if you want good quality thai food with an incredible atmosphere and staff thaiku is a must!
The best Thai food in Seattle, in my opinion! Authentic recipes made with fresh ingredients, served in a very comfortable, cool space.
This place was excellent. The food was absolutely delicious and impressively authentic, with flavors that closely reminded us of restaurants in Bangkok. We especially loved the pork and vermicelli stew special (the picture was taken halfway through eating it because it was too good to wait!) and the rice with egg and chicken. Both dishes were packed with flavor and beautifully balanced. The dessert with rice, banana, coconut, and red beans was also outstanding, sweet, comforting,...read full review

Thaiku offers delicious Thai cuisine and great service with an attentive staff. The authentic Thai dishes like soups are excellent, and the red curry with prawns, beef pad thai, and sticky rice are highly praised by regular customers. Though the pad thai may lack complexity, it is well-seasoned and enjoyable. The cozy atmosphere enhances the dining experience, and the owner goes above and beyond to ensure a pleasant visit, making it a great local business to support.
The restaurant is known for its fresh and flavorful dishes, with customers enjoying the tom yum soup and popular pad see ew, which some find more savory than sweet. The Khao Soi has a thicker coconut sauce and is more like a standard noodle dish than a brothy soup. Customers recommend trying it with a side of extra pickled mustard greens for added flavor.
Despite some minor hiccups with takeout orders and the in-person dining experience, Thaiku remains a favorite among local Thai food enthusiasts. The restaurant features interesting cocktail selections, and many guests appreciate the patio on sunny days, as well as the cozy indoor setting when it is cold outside. One customer even described it as the best Thai restaurant in all of Seattle.
