16 Best Thai Restaurants near Tumwater

“I had a Vietnamese BBQ pork 'salad with rice noodles, shrimp,lettuce, veggies. Egg rolls on the side, mot in the salad. It was great. Out of my regular choices, and im glad.
They only have beer and wine and a few desserts. Very busy at dinner. Closes at 8. Easy take out. Most choices between 19 and 24$.“

“Không gian thoáng và đồ ăn ngon“

“Restaurant felt very cozy and service was great. Food arrived pretty quickly. Ordered the green curry but it wasn’t my favorite. Got the 2.5 level spice, and it wasn’t as spicy as some of the other Thai restaurants in the area (I hadn’t read reviews beforehand…but just saw some other reviewers recommending to get spicier than you usually do). I can’t put my finger on it, whether it was too much coconut milk or something, but sauce didn’t taste as balanced as soon of the others I have tried in the area. But…overall my experience was decent.“

“Always consistent Yummy Food!“

“Budget friendly, good taste Thai food choice.

We stopped by for a quick lunch during a raining winter day on the way from Portland to Seattle. It turned out to be a great choice. The hearty spicy Thai food just warms you up at a cold day.

The food is excellent. The spicy level is exactly what we needed. Right amount of kick to improve your appetite but not over powering the flavor. The ingredients are fresh. The noodle soup has balanced flavor and in good portion.

The staff is friendly and the dishes were served pretty fast. They're very attentive in refilling the water and checking on customers.

It's a good place to enjoy Thai food with reasonable price.“

“We absolutely LOVE the food here :) Have never had a bad experience in 20+ years of eating here. Highly recommended!“

“Had a great lunch! Food and service was good!“

“This place was a pleasant surprise. My two buddies and I ordered four entrées and three appetizers. All the entrées were great. Especially the orange chicken and the pad see ew. The appetizers were solid, but not on the same level as the entrées. Service was very friendly as well. Definitely looking forward to coming back.“

“New to area and trying out places, the first visit here was a Pad Thai and was just okay, nothing bad just wasn’t as flavorful as was hoping for. Second visit was the Orange Chicken (Spice 4) and Tom Yum (Spice 3), both of which were very good. Chicken was extremely crispy and both dishes plenty of flavor and good levels of spice considering was only mid range.

Definitely looking forward to working my way through the rest of the menu.“

“We got the Pad Thai and the Chow Mein with a hot level spiciness and they were both amazing! The fried tofu is also a delicious appetizer. We got our food delivered this time and it was just as good as when we go to the restaurant. The staff are always professional and helpful and will get you what you need in a really good amount of time! Bonus tip: 10/10 would recommend the black rice mango“

“We walked in around 4pm on Saturday. The restaurant was empty but they have a very good rate on reviews, I was afraid it would disappoint us but after saw the menu.. we like most of them, specially on the back of their menu has the all day house specials! I ordered the “pineapple lover” and my husband ordered “spicy garlic stirred fry” which were very yummy. Ended up with great food, perfect portions (for us) most of all great service!“

“The food here is SO good. It’s always a treat to get Pattaya Thai express. We love the Thai fried rice and also the pad Thai. The food always tastes really fresh. The curry soup is perfect if you have a cold. Great friendly staff & convenient location too.“

“I’ve ordered the Thai fried rice and mango sticky rice from Nana Pattaya Express several times now—and I’ll keep coming back. They’re absolutely one of my favorites.

That said, I must say some of the reviews listed here are ignorant, and frankly, biased.

While I agree that the fried rice was a bit too spicy for a level 2 heat the first time I ordered it, I’ve since requested it with level 0 spiciness and less salt—and it came out perfect.

As for the mango sticky rice, I couldn’t help but cackled at the comment claiming that the green hue on the sticky rice is a food safety concern. The ignorance and arrogance really showed through.

If you’re unfamiliar with Southeast Asian food culture, do yourself a favor and Google the word “pandan.” You’ll understand exactly what it is.

Good food comes with a willingness to explore and respect cultural differences. Nana Pattaya Express is a gem for those who appreciate authentic flavors and are open to learning along the way.

P.S. The cashier and chef has been nothing but kind, polite and cordial to me. And I don’t even speak Thai. Maybe try to be a decent human being and be nicer to them? They ain’t your servants you know.“

“Sometimes appetizers upstate the main dish - the honey chicken wings were SO good. Don't miss out on the Vietnamese Coffee and the Mochi doughnuts. The main dishes like Pad Thai and Heavenly Beef were good too just that other stuff was incredible.“

“FAV! ever since i moved away i miss danang sooo much! i wish there was one in chicagoland ❤️“

“This is our absolute favorite place to go. We love the owners and the food is to die for! Every plate is amazing. 🥰 This is a weekly spot for us.“
