In seattle on business and found Phayathai by accident. Excellent experience from start to finish. Can’t give them enough stars!! The very best fried rice I have ever had without a doubt. A new “must stop” place for us.

Disappointed that their food and safety rating is bad.

That was lovely! Cute little place with a soothing atmosphere. The staff was very helpful and kind and the food was excellent. We got a nice selection of classics: Pad Thai, Thai Basil, Coconut Prawns (which were perfect!), fried spring rolls, Tom Kha, Panang Curry, and an order of Kid Noodle for my incredibly picky child that they were kind enough to make with chicken only for her. All of it was excellent. I am so pleased. I wished I lived closer and could come back bc I would be a regular!

Food is still good, as it has always been. Since much of their business has switched to delivery, attention to dine in customers has suffered greatly over the past couple of years. They blast loud pop music, creating poor ambiance, and while employees are friendly, they don't seem to pay much attention to their tables.

I have not been served nor eaten inside of the restaurant. I have called for Delivery. Out of 4-5 orders delivered only one was poor due to the food quality and lack of flavor quality allowed to leave the kitchen. It wasn’t fresh! When that happens something is seriously out of order. ? The one dish ordered was old… wilted, overcooked, over seasoned, soggy, and unrecognizable…possibly from being cooked earlier in the day or served to someone who returned it. I ordered my dish at around 5:30 PM, it was delivered around 6:00 PM. It didn’t smell like jasmine and Thai basil as usual and looked terrible ? dark, old. I took a couple bites and was totally disappointed. I called to notify the Restaurant and a manager failed to offer a replacement. Instead she was not empathic and questioned me as if I was suspect. I felt bad because I was losing, and going to have to find a new Thai Cuisine Restaurant. I love fresh vegetables properly cooked to perfection not over cooked and sitting for hours. Sadly, after eating a few bites, I had stomach problems the following day, so it was likely food poisoning. Never again! My food was ordered and delivered through the DoorDASH App. I’m curious ? saddened and have lost ? confidence in a good restaurant. I hope you have an excellent experience! It’s likely best to visit in person rather than delivery ? through an online app. Burned once and 2x shy ?!Vegetarian options: I have not read their menu. I know what I want. I usually eat one dish that all Thai Cuisine restaurants make, Spicy Asian Eggplant, it has lots of fresh vegetables gently cooked. I order Jasmine Rice ? and Green Tea ?. This is good for my diet, its how I eat. Please enjoy!

Food was excellent. Best pad thai in town. Delicious curry. We were the only ones there but a steady stream of deliver drivers so kitchen was busy. Service not great. Just slow.

Green curry with Avocado / Tom Kha / Phayathai Special Fried Rice = Everything is delicious! We ordered a takeout and the food hit the spot.

This place is filthy! Waiting for my pick up order and dreading what I will find in my bag when I come home. This used to be under a different ownership, and I expected to see the same cleanliness as it used to be for over a decade that I used to come to this restaurant.I will not come again, nor will I refer anyone to this place.General cleanliness also points to how food is handled and prepared. Very disappointed...

I lived close by years ago and absolutely loved this restaurant. Their pad see ew was always my go-to dish that would crave almost weekly.Yesterday, I drove nearby and was so excited to get my favorite dish. Loved the updates they’ve made inside but the pad see ew was not up to the standard they use to serve. There was hardly any sauce and it was flavorless. I got their lunch time special so I’m left with two pad see ew’s that are almost inedible. I’m so disappointed.
