50 Best Thai Restaurants in Seattle

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

“Excellent place for food and the place is very lively.“

“We used Buddha Brudda catering for our wedding at Treehouse Point in July 2025. Not only were Drea and the entire team incredibly easy to work with leading up to the day, but the food was FANTASTIC, and the whole dinner service and bartending staff were so kind and accommodating the day of.

We worked with Drea to customize a menu that fit our needs, which included family-style service instead of buffet, which worked beautifully for our small group of 20 guests. We also opted for pre-dinner appetizers (charcuterie cones, egg rolls, etc) and late-night snacks (sliders, mac salad cups) for our overnight guests, which everyone LOVED!!

Keep in mind they do not do linens, plates/cutlery (beyond bamboo/plastic) or glassware, but were extremely accommodating by picking up/dropping off our rental order from a nearby events company. It was a HUGE help and one less thing for us to arrange.

Our guests absolutely loved the food - all of the appetizers, dinner, late night snacks, and on-the-fly sangria the bartender made with wine/tea/lemonade was fantastic.

I highly recommend Buddha Brudda for your catering needs if you want a relaxed, yummy, yet elegant dining experience!“

“Wow! Perfect dining experience. Friendly staff, amazing food and drinks, fun atmosphere, I highly recommend this place! 🙏“

“So creative, fresh, and delicious! This is one of my favorite restaurants in Seattle. I’ve been here since they opened, and their menu is always changing as they refine their dishes and grow. The owner is also really nice.

Everything here is tasty, but my favorite is their signature dish, Pak Mor Yuan, which is very similar to Vietnamese bánh cuốn. I saw a reel of them making it fresh and it is no wonder that it is so tasty.

I also like Guay Tiew Lohd, which uses similar rice noodles/paper.“

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

“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. ;)“

“Delicious!!!!! Their food is HOT so be forewarned but it is soooo delicious.“

“Midnight Cravings = Masterpiece Meals 🍛🔥

Who knew the best Thai food in Seattle would show up fashionably late—with flavor that doesn’t sleep? I grabbed yellow curry, midnight rice, and chicken wings from ChicChic Thai and let me tell you… I may never recover. ($38 for pure edible joy? Yes please.)

The yellow curry came boiling hot, stuffed with tender chicken and veggies, and had that rich, creamy texture dreams are made of. The spice? Enough kick to remind you it’s Thai—but not enough to wreck your tastebuds. Just that “I see you, chef” kind of spice.

The midnight rice? Moist without being greasy (a culinary tightrope act), bursting with bold flavor, fresh veggies, and whole cashews. Oh, and a little house-made red pepper vinaigrette on the side? Chef’s kiss. Literally elevated every bite.

Now the wings. Oh, the wings. Perfectly fried, not a drip of grease in sight, with seasoning so on point it had me questioning every other wing I’ve ever loved. A sneaky heat that builds with each bite, crisped skin, juicy center… these wings deserve a trophy.

Add to that a chef who’s so humble he won’t even accept a tip—but 1000% deserves one—and stays open until 1:30am for all us hungry gremlins? Icon behavior.

Support this spot. Eat the wings. Say hi to the chef. And bring your appetite—he cooks like someone who loves to feed people well, and it shows in every single bite.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Delicious and gorgeous!!!“

“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!!!!!“

“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.“

“Ordered the green curry with tofu and the fried whole pompano. Both dishes were a hit! Fragrant creamy curry with vegetables cooked soft paired amazing with the white jasmine rice. Notably the dipping sauce with the fried fish was delicious. Definitely rich Thai umami. Recommend stopping here after visiting Space Needle or Mopop as they are both walking distance from here. 18% tip is pre-included into the bill.“

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

“Casual place with great food and good prices. Mostly serving take out orders but has a few indoor tables. Nice people working hard. Try it, you'll love it. Some dishes have a minimum 2 star spice level, just be aware in case you can't stand a little kick in your food.“

“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 !“

“Great product, great service, great prices and it’s great to see a long time Rainer Valley business still open. I’m sure to check out the new updated location on Ray Near“

“Vony and her daughter are simply amazing! They have worked so hard to keep people safe and full during these trying times.“

“The panang duck was so good , excellent sauce with it. The fresh rolls and two dipping sauces beautiful to look at as well as taste. The service was very friendly and fast and the inside decor is classy but comfortable. My only complaint was a big beautiful purple onion was on plate with duck , true it could be to look good which it did but I still think it could have been cooked more and looked beautiful. Wasn’t able to eat. Still a 9 out of ten. Will go again. Nice looking happy hour“

“I had suspected from vibes alone that this would be a great eating experience in Seattle. I called to order two fresh salad rolls, a tofu Pad Thai and side of rice. It was ready as fast as i could drive there, but the ingredients still tasted fresh and toasty.

This is a takeout only location, but the moment inside of the shop obtaining your food has a great ambience, warm, welcoming, clean, and great smells.

I would like to emphasize that one order of fresh rolls is two rolls the size of your head. PHENOMENAL value for fresh rolls. The lettuce is crunchy and, as the name was suggest, very fresh.

I will be returning and making this a staple of my Thai food pick up needs.“

“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!!“

“good good good good good good“

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

“I’ve been here a handful of times and think it’s some of the best Thai food I’ve had around here. Their tom kha soup is fantastic and so flavorful! The portions are generous and include a lot of meat and vegetables. They’re always quick and very kind.“

“Good chicken fried rice and pad Thai chicken“

“Vegan options - the service was so polite and friendly as it was an impulse selection. The crispy rolls and potstickers were a great start...they were hot so let them cool down first before eating. The main courses with a selection of orange tofu, pad see ew, and then of course the 45th street noodles. The 45th street are basically noodles and pho wrapped in a fresh roll, so good! Definitely going back if in the area again!“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“I had the Eggplant Basil today and it was to die for. One of those dishes that make you gasp at the first bite it’s so good. Chili oil and garlic are perfectly balanced to bring out the creamy eggplant flavor and crunchy peppers. Cozy atmosphere and great service.“

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

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

“My gf and I were in the area and decided to stop by here as we like Thai food and it was a newer restaurant in the area. I expected this place to have the usual Thai choices, but I was pleasantly surprised. Not only do they have the popular choices, but they also do have unique items that you can't get at usual Thai restaurants. We like trying new things, so we decided to order the grilled steak, pork jowl, Kra Pao, Rad Nah, and the Mango Sticky Rice. They were all really good especially the Rad Nah and Pork Jowl. We also tried the soup for the Nam Ngiew which I will be going back to try next time. The mango sticky rice to top off the night was Fire. I would definitely recommend going here if you want to try something different and I love that the menu is big enough where you can try new things each time you go. The price is very reasonable too. I for one, am definitely going back and bringing my friends.“

“Good place to get Thai food. Lovely interior with great service. They have complimentary soup on weekdays for lunch. Big portion sizes. Chicken was just okay but the noodles and flavor were good. Mild spicy wasn’t spicy at all. I’d come back!“

“Delicious food! Some of the best Thai I’ve had. We went here for lunch with family and were beyond impressed. The food, the portions, the service and the friendliness made us feel like we were back in Thailand. This place is a mom and pop joint that will be getting a lot more of our business. Highly recommend if you’re craving some good Thai food. All dishes were awesome and their khao soi is fire!“

“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“

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

“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)“

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

“Last month my office had catering ordered from Chada Thai for our monthly office lunch. We are always looking for new local places to try, and Chada Thai was a hit! Our employees loved every single dish, Ying and her team went above and beyond to make sure the menu that was created for our group was enough food and a different variety for everyone. There were hardly any leftovers, that's how much our staff loved it and went back for seconds and thirds! I had several staff ask me where the food came from because it was so yummy.

Ying was so helpful with ordering and any last-minute changes and accommodations for our group. I appreciate that. We had the garlic chicken, yellow chicken curry, the beef red curry, phad thai/phad see eiw, gyoza, spring rolls, pad pag (veggies) and jasmine rice. Everything was so good, I especially liked both the curry dishes.

I highly recommend Chada Thai for dining or as a catering option. Thank you and we will be catering again in the future.“

“me and my sisters had a wonderful meal and the best waiter..Eddie W. was soo friendly. delightful and helpful with the menu! can't wait to go back again!“

“We love Bahn Thai! My team frequently goes for team lunch, as it’s closest to our office and always offers fast service. The manager is super kind and always happy to accommodate large groups and order preferences. Highly recommend their lunch specials too!“

“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.

“I love the chicken roll and soft serve. One of my favorite restaurants. ❤️“

“I love this place!! Their noodle and rice dishes are so good. They do over-flavor their curries and soups to the point of being too rich or salty imo. I love their chicken lettuce wraps aside from once being really salty too, and just tried the crispy garlic chicken and wish I would have sooner. Can't wait to try more things!“
