We were regulars here getting take out every week all through Covid. First they started with increasing the prices of each dish... (10-15%) Covid charge something initially few months back and now they charge 20% service charge upfront, even on takeout. Westill would get food from here, not as often though( twice in the last 5 months). but we observe that their taste has not beenconsistent. today we got burnt curry fried rice, so we are definitely not going back here anytime soon. Same order was around$30(including tip) and now the same order costs $39. I think overall increase of 25-30% in cost in the last 1 year or so. Ithink this is just too much and I saw few other comments citing the same. Management should look into this as I am sure they arelosing their regulars due to this. Read more

Excellent place to enjoy tasty and warm Thai delicacies. We were a gang of 8 hungry pals who wanted to try this restaurant on a... warm summer afternoon. Cordial waitress helped us choose the right cocktails which were ideal for the weather. I got to speak toone of the chefs who was very proud of showing love in her food. Must visit. Read more

The food was so so, the pork was over-grilled. I knew there would be obligated 20% service fee, but I expected their service... would be Wonderful, however, the actual service didn?t deserve 20% at all. The restaurant was empty but it took 30 minutes toserve all food. They couldn?t even serve my food and my friend?s food at the same time, 10 minutes interval? I also expected theserver to tell us VERBALLY that 20% service was added to our bill, BUT she didn?t at all, and still expected us to add EXTRAservice fee. It was my first time to spend $30 on Thai food PER PERSON? it is way too expensive for average food andbelow-average service. DON?T ASSUME THE SERVICE would be great just because they posts fixed service fee. The 20% policy is solame - The server didn?t smile at all :/ Read more

Friendly wait staff and DELICIOUS food! Portions are large too ???? Highly recommend the duck noodle soup, it?s so flavorful and... just the right blend of spices and tang. Prices are good though there?s an automatic 20% service fee from each diner tomaintain providing competitive staff wages, which I hugely respect!???????? Read more

5/5 highly recommend Among the best Thai places that we?ve been to. Lots of perfectly cooked veggie in Pad Kee Mow. Ba Me Hang... dish was super unique, I?ve never seen it available anywhere else. Ba Me Hang was a dry egg noodle dish with garlicky, sweet,sauce at the bottom. Read more

Delicious Thai food. Ordered a Tamarind Pad Thai with Fresh Spring Rolls and all the ingredients seemed fresh. Decent selection... of alcoholic beverages. Has both indoor as well as outdoor seating options with flame heaters on the patio. The service can beimproved though. The servers need to be a bit more hospitable. Was accidentally served chicken Pad Thai when I had ordered theTofu one. They rectified their mistake once notified and brought the original dish ordered. Read more

Top tier restaurant. Delicious food. Quick service. It is one of the best Thai restaurants I've found in the Seattle area. We... (a group of 4) tried several dishes and all of them were delicious. The fried spring rolls were tasty and not too oily. MangoSticky Rice for the dessert was amazing. There's plenty of outdoor seating available, and it's pretty nice. Should be easy tofind street parking in the adjoining 1-2 blocks. Read more
