Pestle Rock is a Thai restaurant in Ballard that offers unique Isan cuisine with a focus on grilled meats and spicy salads. The menu features a variety of regional Thai dishes, including the standout turmeric coconut curry (Gang Muu Yang), which one reviewer described as one of the 5 best meals they've ever had. The food is known for its beautiful flavors, balanced plates with veggies, sauce, and noodles, and authentic taste. While some customers felt the portion sizes were small for the price, the dishes and drinks are praised for being really good and a refreshing change from typical Thai orders like pad Thai. Vegetarian options are available, though the emphasis is more on meat dishes. The restaurant has a cozy, homey feel that transports guests to a Thai grandmother’s home, with fresh ingredients and great spices. The owner is dedicated, friendly, and passionate about providing a true Thai experience. Pestle Rock is worth visiting for those seeking authentic, regional Thai cuisine beyond the usual American standards.
