Every dish I’ve had here stands out compared to pretty much every other Thai restaurant. Which is not easy to do in this area. However it does come with a slight price increase that I feel is often worth it, often not always.The inside is on the small side but the layout provides a nice separation that makes you feel like you’re in a larger space. The decor is nice and clean. The materials are fairly high quality. This spot has decent natural lighting, but this does make it feel a bit odd because the day I can was dull and it reflected inside. Meh, I could see my food just fine, just wish they had more lights.Their service is also just ok. Nothing special and far from bad. They are nice. I was able to get seated right away during happy hour. I’ve been here before and also passed by many times and this place has never been packed. Not sure why when they have these amazing dishes. Maybe the price for the area makes this more of a luxury despite being better priced than many of the nicer restaurants in the area.I can say their food taste absolutely delicious. Every meal I’ve had was better than anywhere else in the area. They also offer many dishes I just don’t find anywhere around here. On my last visit I tried the jackfruit salad and 2 different crab based dishes.The jackfruit salad was over powered by the fish sauce flavor and I couldn’t eat more than 2. Needs more salad or maybe something else to help cut or spread the saltiness.My Kanom Jean Numya Pu had amazing flavor and texture, but was for sure not worth the high price I paid. Everything about it was underwhelming but the flavor. I’m glad I experienced it, but wish I had ordered something different.The curry softshell crab was spot on. No complaints with this dish. The proportions made sense and there was actually enough crab to satisfy. Every other dish I’ve had at this location was a similar experience to how I felt about the crab curry. Unique, tasty, decent portion, prices appropriate.I highly recommend planning a simple date night here or even just getting a solo plate. You for sure can find cheaper or more expensive, but eating here almost corrects the judgement bar of what middle quality Thai food is. No this isn’t the most fancy Thai restaurant and no it’s not a hole in the wall. To be honest I’d rather come here than several of the fanciest Thai restaurants I’ve been to. Can’t wait to come back.Vegetarian options: I wouldn’t say they spell it out so much, but they have many dishes that come without meat.

Don’t come here hungry…. The portions are insanely small and disappointing. The flavor is amazing but seriously it’s tiny. Felt like I over paid and left starving.

Some of the best Thai food in Seattle. Everything I’ve had here is delicious and their pad Thai is amazing which is hard to find in Seattle. The menu is also really cool because it tells you which region each dish is from.On our most recent visit the server was super attentive, informative, and friendly. The food was also served quickly despite the restaurant being 3/4 full. They were also great about custom requests.

I had the pan fried chives and taro for an appetizer followed by a squid with salted egg. Both delicious and tasted fresh.The service was polite and helped me with a few more In-depth questions about the dishes.

Great food and service. We ordered the crab fried rice and the royal kao soi. Both were so good! My favorite of the two was the fried crab rice but the noodle dish was a very close second. Savory and full of flavor. Definitely will come again!

Finally! A place where Thai spicy is legitimately spicy. Absolutely delicious and some dishes can be made vegan - just ask. Nice atmosphere. Would definitely come back here.

Traveled to Seattle, and went to Ballard area and I found the gem. Thai food with a flare of Northern Thai cuisine. Small cute place that offered many choices of curry. I ordered Crab meat curry with vermicelli, and that is a bomb!!! The pulled-chicken sour soup(Northern style soup) was really something different from Tom-Yum soup. And I love the Kang Yi rah, it is another kind of red curry with seafood. I love that too. Great portion. The service was run by one lady, but she handled many tables at the same without frustration. Thank you so much

Fantastic Thai food, the best Phad Se Ew I've ever had, and lots of other dishes I'm very excited to try! The server was attentive and kind and the restaurant was clean and beautifully decorated with local art you can buy which is super cool. I highly recommend it!Parking: You'll have to park on the streets of Ballard, which can get very full and tricky (be prepared to possibly parallel park!)

From the moment you walk in, the establishment is bright, airy, and everyone is happily creating these delicious dishes for diners. Food made happily is food made with love. They lit my candle for dinner for one which made my experience all the more pleasant and ambiance level upped. Ordered the Tom Yum with pork. Pork slices were thin with just the right amount of fat and meat per slice. Melts in your mouth. The broth, spice level 4 was refreshing and packed with lemon grass and Thai chili spice flavor. Coconut milk eased the palate. Definitely makes your tummy warm and tingly on a brisk fall day. Larb E-San Salad with beef to mix it up. Perfectly seasoned and made fresh. You can tell by the texture of the dish. The key with this is to douse the raw cabbage with the meat and get everything in one bite- piece by piece. This is a hidden gem in the city. Bookmark, visit it, taste it and see for yourself! 5 stars all around.
