I've been to this place a couple times, and have tried both the Swimming Rama and Tom Yum
The Swimming Rama is a dish, mostly a US thing that's not really found in Thailand, that consists of peanut sauce spread over pork (in my case) along with spinach and rice, while the Tom Yum is a hot & sour soup that has prawns, mushrooms, and other vegetables
Starting with the Swimming Rama, I liked most of it. the peanut sauce was super creamy, and had that wonderful nutty flavor. Having an excellent balance between the peanut flavor and the creamy taste was really good - and this was made better by the fact that the sauce coated everything it touched since it was poured on. It made a big impact on the spinach, rice, and pork
I didn't expect rice to be served with this - but it was a welcome addition as I could use it to mix everything together. It combined pretty well with the sauce to serve as a base for both the spinach and pork. I also quite liked the spinach as well
Unfortunately, I thought the pork was really dry. It was a super lean cut, so no fat whatsoever - and it was utterly devoid of juice, making this a pretty hard eat. This was disappointing as the food would've been really improved had the pork been better
On the Tom Yum side - I don't have too much to say about it. the shrimp in that was cooked pretty well, and the broth was relatively flavorful. I realized after ordering it that I don't like soups, but I only have myself to blame for that one
This place isn't too expensive - especially for lunch - but it can get on the more expensive side towards dinner. The portions are pretty large though - as I was quite full by the end of my lunch
Overall, it's not bad Thai food, but I wouldn't really call this any more than average. 7.25/10

Order via Uber Eat. Delivery in perfect time. It would have been nice to eat the a glued pad thai with a fork and not with your hands since they didn't bring any. Not a good experience

There is nothing Thai about this restaurant. Flavors are either too sweet or too salty. Noodles are overcooked, lost all the textures.

The worst Thai food you can find around Seattle. Pungent , flavourless , tons of flour coated chicken which they call crispy garlic chicken. Mind numbing sticky black rice pudding. The pad kee mao was worse than what anyone can even try themselves at home ! Waste of money and a bad dinner night. Hated the whole experience

A delicious, family run establishment. They graciously allowed us to dine in right before closing. The food came out fast and the service was incredible. Couldn’t recommend more.

Wow!!! Fantastic food and great service. Nothing was too much to ask and I have nothing but praise for the staff and food. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Take out Kee Mao Noodles (Packy Mao). It cost about 3,000 yen for takeout, which was 16 dollars + tip, but the food was delicious and the chef was kind.

Please Could The Manager Respond To the Unfair Charge For A Cancelled Delivery Order ? And Explain Why You Have Not Responded To The Request To Do So ??? On Many Occasions You Were Notified Of The Cancellation Within 40 Seconds Of The Order Being Requested. So Why Do You Think It is Acceptable To Charge The Full Amount For The Food Not Prepared Or Received ????

Decent atmosphere with lackluster food and service. Took a while to get served despite being one of only two tables in the otherwise empty restaurant. Server never asked about heat rating for food so everything was delivered with no spice and we had to ask for our own. Food ingredients seemed fresh and cooked well however barely seasoned at all so everything tasted bland and distinct dishes that should have had entirely different flavor profiles tasted and looked essentially the same. Rather disappointing

We just happened across this place while walking around Seattle, and we were so glad we did. We had Pad Thai and Red Curry, both with Tofu. Both options were delicious! Decent portion size, and the spice level 3 on the curry and 4 on the Pad Thai were perfect for us. Service was fast and friendly; it seems to be a family run business, not sure but the vibe in this place was great. Highly recommend!
