50 Best Thai Restaurants in Seattle

“Fantastic meal. Fantastic service! I was very impressed with the owners care for my family and interest in their enjoyment of their meal. We will definitely be back. The place was packed and should continue to be.“

“We fell in love with the food and staff at the West Seattle commissary (and miss them very much) but just recently visited their wonderful new storefront space on Greenwood in Shoreline! We're big fans of the Khao Man tofu and the Khao Man Gai (Hainan simmered chicken, like I had growing up in Hong Kong), and of course the Thai tea, and mango sticky rice. Patty just introduced us to the corn fritters which were amazing. We discovered it's the best place to detour to avoid I-5 traffic coming home from Bellingham. Don't miss this place for a delicious lunch or dinner!!“

“Great prices, great service, good food, quick. One of my fav lunch spots in the area.“

“I have been going to royal palm for over a decade. their Thai food in my opinion is the best I've had in seattle. The owners are so kind and the food is delicious.“

“Fantastic eats, lovely vibe, stellar service. Highly recommend.“

“Amazing food, great service.“

“Best Thai food in town ever ❤️ Nice owner, staff with authentic Thai food. Love Love Love“

“Lovely little neighborhood spot. Delicious options, they turn up the heat. You can watch em cook in the exposed kitchen.

Fair warning it’s about 15% more expensive than other Thai spots around and the portions are a little small but it’s a local spot and some of the best Thai in Wallingford.“

“I love Noi Thai Cuisine with all of my heart. The environment is very cozy and relaxing. I enjoy the candle lit dark ambiance, and the decor is great! I usually eat alone there but it feels like visiting family. Today I tried the chicken satay and it was simply incredible. My favorite part about this restaurant is the Tom Kha soup. I think about their soup when I am thousands of miles away. I think about it too much. It’s even been in my dreams. Every time I land at the Seattle airport, I am hurrying as fast as I can to the light rail so I can get to Noi Thai Cuisine for my favorite soup. Idk what they do to it…but no other Tom Kha soup will ever compare. If I could eat one thing for the rest of my life, it would be Noi Thai Cuisines Tom Kha soup. I want to start trying more of their menu, but I am addicted to their Tom Kha soup. The staff is always so friendly, attentive, and kind. I will continue to dine here as much as possible…forever. Thank you for filling me with so much joy!!!! I definitely reccommend Noi Thai Cuisine to everyone, they won’t let you down. I can’t give them five stars…..because they deserve five million stars. ;)“

“The service is excellent and the food is delicious. 10/10 recommend. The restaurant is so cute💕“

“Been here a couple times. Never had any issues. I like the pad Thai & Thai iced tea.“

“So delicious, love the owner it’s a family favorite.“

“The Moo Hong or the Phuket style pork belly stew with eggs was absolutly delicious. It was tender and juicy and the sweet, sour, and salty sauce to accompany the pork belly had me salivating for more. The Karee puffs as an appetizer were delicious too with a pickled salad to accompany it that gave it a refreshing taste to compliment the potato curry.“

“I have come here a handful of times with my partner and I love it! I don't think I have ever had a bad dish here. I try to order something different each time but there is so much to choose from! And so far my favorite is the basil stir fry and the eggplant basil stir fry. The portions are generous for the price. I like to order 2 or 3 dishes and then take the leftovers. They last me a few days afterward! The staff is very friendly and I enjoy my conversations with them. All in all, a great place. If I lived closer, I'd probably come here several times a week.“

“Good chicken fried rice and pad Thai chicken“

“Yummiest plus nicest service �“

“I don’t know what’s taken us so long to check out Nua seeing that we literally are a 5 minute walk away, but this is now a regular for us.

The basil fried rice here is absolutely the best I’ve ever had - it’s packed with so much flavor and the tofu is always done right. It has become a staple whenever I get food here. But the real star is the Kao Soi - there isn’t a better one in the city, and is a perfect meal in winter.

The massaman curry is pretty nice too. The rice portion that come with it is actually one the larger side than most places.“

“I appreciate the thought and time that goes into an order, as small as a happy hour order or a post-special Valentine’s Day event, which encompasses quality happy hour food and high-end Thai fusion cuisine. There wasn’t a craving that 8py didn’t satisfy!!!!!!! I thank the staff, bartender, and owner, for their patience and high quality service, as well as the chef that accommodated our wishes! My party of 4+ always leaves satisfied. Thank you, Ben!! Will return again and again and again!!“

“Authentic Thai cuisine. Amazing food. Cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended.“

“We had the best Thai food of our LIVES @ Manao! The Noodle Boat Soup is the DIE for, the green beans I have been craving for days, and the crispy pork belly with basil left me wanting to lick my plate! Two thumbs up and all the stars!!!!!“

“Ordered dinner tonight, and it was hands down, the best Thai food I’ve ever had in Seattle. The Yes Siam fried rice with pork larb and the yellow curry were amazing.“

“Great service and the food is AMAZING! Our server, In, remember us from our last visit and even remembered what I ordered.“

“This is truly my favorite restaurant. I go here allllll the time. My favorite dishes are the khao soi, side salad (their dressing is phenomenal), cashew nut entree, spicy basil entree. If you want a simple takeout, this is the place to go. They also have a large projector where they sometimes show live streams of night markets so it’s a super inviting environment to dine in as well. You can also watch them cook because the kitchen is connected. I literally love this place so much, a review is long overdue. 1000000/10
(This pic is of my takeout cashew nut entree)“

“delicious food 😋 also the atmosphere is also good ..they also added cello night with Spencer every Tuesday and that's the main attraction 🎁💕💯“

“I live in West Seattle and have heard a lot about Buddha Rukhsar but have never been there - well, my loss. This place is amazing and my favorite Thai place in Seattle. They have traditional Thai dishes like curry, as well as some different menu items you can't get elsewhere. We called them and made a reservation for Saturday dinner. So glad we did because when we arrived at 7:30pm their wait time was over 45 minutes. We were seated quickly and ordered the following items:… Details“

“Amazing Thai food! we loved going here when we lived in Seattle and try to visit everytime we come back.“

“Best Panang Curry and Basil Chicken in Seattle“

“Probably the best Thai food I have had in a long time!!! Did a huge order, and enjoyed feasting on it all weekend. Appreciated the beautiful vegetables choices. Your restaurant is a Greenwood gem!! Can’t wait to enjoy your delicious food the next time I am visiting in Seattle.“

“The food tastes just like it does in Thailand!
The service was great, and the vibe honestly reminds me of eating street food in Thailand.
It's really chill and laid-back. We ordered the crispy pork belly with Thai basil, and they use real Thai basil—not regular basil. It's a big deal for Thai people because the flavor and aroma are completely different. Of course, we dug right into it and forgot to take a picture of crispy pork belly dish🫣🤭 If you're looking for a place to enjoy casual, delicious Thai food, this is the place!“

“Beef Holy Basil! I am Thai, when I say this Thai food is good.... I mean it!“

“Finally back OPEN for inside dining and being able to sit at the bar was wonderful! Tasty adult beverages and of course delicious food! Super happy my favorite Thai spot survived Covid !“

“I always take a risk ordering chicken pad thai because freezer-burned chicken is way too common at Thai restaurants in my experience. Siam on Eastlake got it right, tasty chicken with no weird frozen taste.
The pad thai and drunken noodles were both amazing, portions were generous, and the service was attentive.
Will definitely be back!“

“Delicious. I throughly enjoyed Tom Kah soup with prawn, Singha Curry with Prawn and the Spring rolls. staff was friendly and helpful to all my questions. I will be returning“

“The food was fresh and tasty! The space is bright and roomy.“

“Very cool bathrooms that look like art museums with huge mirror!“

“Great spot! Fresh, bold flavors and fast service. The chicken tikka roll is amazing. Definitely worth a stop.“

“This is my absolute go-to spot for Thai food. The Lynwood has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the staff members are always friendly, even when it gets busy. No matter what, I always order Stir fried squid with salted egg yolk—it’s a must-have for me. But what keeps things exciting is that they’re always introducing new dishes that bring me right back to home in Thailand. The flavors are authentic, comforting, and full of depth. Their cocktails are also incredible—perfectly balanced and a great complement to the meal. If you’re looking for an authentic Thai experience, this place never disappoints.“

“The owner is delightful and the service is the best that I have experienced anywhere. Greg Heiden“

“My favorite restaurant in all of Belltown!!! The food is only topped by the amazing and sweet staff they have. ❤️“

“Delicious and gorgeous!!!“

“Had a great date night at Bua 9 Thai Cuisine! The food was delicious and authentic, the portions were generous, and the staff were friendly. Cozy atmosphere perfect for couples. 🌶️❤️🍜“

“I've found myself eating here at least twice per week since I discovered it. The food is absolutely awesome and the fact that almost anything can be prepared vegan.. PLUS their 2 star options are more like 3.5-4 star compared to any Asian style cuisine in the area makes a HUGE difference. They might have a cute server also... win-win for everyone.“

“Delicious isn’t a sufficient enough word for the amazing food we had tonight. We will definitely return. Friendly service, clean comfortable environment and the food….. SO GOOD“

“the food are just great 👍“

“Got takeout from here today. Absolutely amazing food. My portion of Crispy Garlic Fried Rice was definitely enough for two meals. Best Thai Food I've had in Seattle!!“

“This place is amazing and the food is SO good!! So many unique dishes (and I’d guess authentic but can’t speak from personal experience), and the staff are so nice — they pack everything in containers and tape them closed, and then staple the bags closed so they’re safe and secure for takeout. Call-in orders for pickup only! Same owners run Pestle Rock next door, and Jhanjay Vegetarian Thai Cuisine Wallingford. Photos of my favorites: KROB KEM: plantain chips! Shaved thin and deep fried with a sweet syrup on top TANG GWA SALAD: veggies, jicama, pineapple, and toasted coconut with lime vinaigrette GUAY TIOW KUAR: stir-fried, wide rice noodles, veggies, and Thai sriracha sauce on the side BA MEE GIOW MUU DANG: ground pork dumplings, egg noodles, veggies, and BBQ pork (soup broth in separate container)“

“Love this place! GREAT Thai food at a GREAT price! Friendly service and awesome fish tank. One of my favs. 😀“

“this place is the truth! if you want good quality thai food with an incredible atmosphere and staff thaiku is a must!“
