Visit Pestle Rock for their unforgettable Khao Soi. This is one of those dishes that lingers in your memory, and it's safe to say I dream about it. My precious ! Perfect for a cozy meal in Ballard when you want something soulful and full of flavor. Especially on a rainy day.

Maybe we went on an off night but the food was overly sweet and one dish, the peanut bowl dish was almost inedibly sweet.

I ordered papaya salad and Khao Soi. Both dishes were half portions of what I received in the restaurant 6 months ago and the cost keeps going up. Before and today's picture added of the salad.

Shocked this place is so empty on a Saturday lunchtime. Fantastic food, friendly service, nice people watching outside, and the coconut Ice cream with coconut sticky rice was UNREAL. It’s not the classic Thai food that everyone is used to, it’s different but SO SO good. Never had flavors like this before. Highly recommend everyone who likes Thai food, come try this!

Excellent, authentic Thai food. Beautiful atmosphere inside the restaurant. Outdoor seating as well. The food was amazing, as well as the Thai tea. I loved this place.

I checked out this restaurant with my family and we all loved the food here. The owner Pete explained that it was an Isan Thai Cuisine which is the Northeastern region of Thailand, so they don't serve the typical Thai dishes like Pad Thai or Pad See Ew. He also mentioned how all the dishes were his Mother's recipes and that she was the main chef/cook. All the dishes we tried were so good! If you love spicy food, then this is the place to be. Service was top notch because everyone was so friendly, but the food is definitely a must-try!

We had such a great experience at Pestle Rock! We tried 8 dishes and 2 desserts and loved every single one. They were all so flavorful and unique - many of the dishes I had never heard of before! My favorites were the Tom Yum Talay and the Muu Sa Wann. The place itself was also very clean and had a great ambiance. The owner was so kind and clearly cares a lot about every customer and about every item on the menu. Would recommend this place to anyone!!
Amazing experience at Pestle Rock! Food was amazing and service was fast and friendly. We got the chance to meet the owner and his mom (many of the menu items are her recipes!). Great for a couple or a large group and family style eating was a lot of fun. Strongly recommend you check this place out.

Amazing food! Holy shit. Quick stop before a show at the tractor and I was absolutely not disappointed. Worth every penny. I had a Thai martini and Kanom jeen nam prik. Wow, I want to eat 3 more of this. Beautiful flavors and balanced plate with veggies, sauce and noodle. Can’t wait to come back

Been here a dozen times. The food never disappoints. Service is friendly if not a bit scattered between multiple servers. Come here if you’re looking for regional Thai cuisine and not the usual American standards.
