Bainbridge Thai Cuisine has been open and run by the same family for 25 years. With a stunning view of The Sound, Bainbridge Thai Cuisine is an essential stop for locals and tourists alike.
We ordered the Thai fried rice - the rice was seasoned well but the chicken was bland. The portion size really should've been doubled since it was only enough for one person. The Thai iced tea was served in a really small glass and didn't fill up their small water glass. The Thai was missing from the Thai iced tea. Good customer service despite being the only customers.
Good family place. But lots of kids, hence there will be noise and when we were there they are all over the place. Conversations can be tricky with the background noise. Food came only after half n hour after ordering. Ordering took time too. Food is decent with very less quantity. Pad Thai was nice. π Green curry was not upto the mark !! They charge for rice separately wowwww !!
UPDATE: The food left us feeling horrible and sick. Barely ate any of my plate as well, but the chicken satay and garlic chicken has us in shambles.
Nice spot but the food is not good, we got pad kee Mao, garlic chicken, chicken satay and wonton. Out of all of that, the only thing that was okay was the pad kee mao. The chicken satay was not seasoned or cooked well. The peanut sauce was runny. The plates came with cold rice, cold vegetables, and the chicken was cooked poorly. The pad kee Mao was okay but the tofu wasnβt cooked well. View was nice though, seating isnβt great.
Amazing to literally stumble across this little treasure during our visit to Bainbridge Island. This family owned Thai restaurant is a must do if you ever visit the island. Only a short walk to reach this little spot of paradise. Emily will most likely great you with a beaming smile and a wonderful personality. Service is as fantastic as the food. If you find yourself in the Seattle area, get on the ferry and visit Emily and family, tell them Michelle & Brett sent you π

Food was very flavorless, pale and tasted nothing like the Thai dishes weβre used to getting in Seattle or Poulsbo even. The rice was overcooked as well.
First and last time eating from this restaurant (on my lunch). Purchased the Phad Thai and Basil Chicken. Will not return.
The curry is my favorite
Delicious food, wonderful service! Beautiful views on the outdoor patio.
The 4 stars is only because of portion size. I thought they would be served more as family style portions.
Best view! Delicious authentic Thai food that is well priced. Staff excellent and friendly. They aim to please. Could feature Washington state wines is only thing I would recommend.
Food was great I just wish the serving size was a little bigger for the price. Delicious fried rice and wonton soup!
We had high hopes for a cute location Thai restaurant when we craved our fav Thai dishes. But our table ended up waiting 50min for our main dishes we only order one thing each and my husband still waited more his dish to be served after us. We had to eat fast to catch the 8:55p ferry. We couldn't do our plans as we wanted visiting for the first time Bainbridge. But the owner didn't look happy, seems like the wife was the only one cooking. The restaurant wasnt busy and the servers didn't seem they cared and or help with accommodation to the bill when we waited so long. The food was over priced for small servings too.. just bad over all! And I never write reviews but wow.. not okay.
Great water view, windowed dining room or outside terrace. Food was great, service was awesome.
I was recommended this place by a close friend, I walked into the restaurant and boy oh boy the atmosphere was amazing, and the food delivered on that initial feeling, my server was kind nice and caring. The food delivered too, the wings and fried rice where to die for, If you ever have the privilege to visit Bainbridge Thai I highly recommend it, you will not be disappointed.
Hard to beat the patio seats they offer, right next to Eagle Harbor. Lunch entrees are a good valueβplentiful serving, tasty flavors. Our server was exceptional: fast, courteous, and unflappable despite being the only person on lunch duty.
Best Pad Thai Iβve ever had. The couple serving me were the sweetest people.

My mom didn't like it. Everything was too salty. Service was fine, nothing special. The atmosohere was nice, sitting next to the water with sail boats.
Been coming here for about 2 decades! Good food, great views, and run by a very sweet family :-)
We ordered spring rolls but instead we had fried wonton rolls that were tastelessβ¦ the waitress was nice but she insisted the fried wontons were spring rolls when they were not fresh nor spring rolls because they were friedβ¦ also we ordered pad Thai and full spice and it wasnβt spicy at allβ¦ very bland pad Thai with almost no sauce, no lime and almost no meatβ¦ Not worth getting lunch here, go to Pegasus coffee and get some food thereβ¦
One of the best Thai food I've evereaten. The service could be a little slow when they are busy, but the wait is worth it.
One of the best pad Thais i ever had
The food at this little hidden gem on Bainbridge was phenomenal. I love Thai food an unreasonable amount of spicy and they delivered (while also delivering not mouth burning food for my family).
Very quiet, great staff and food
Great food. Drinks, and views
Best crab wontons! Friendly staff, fast service, right on the pier. Definitely recommend!
Friendly and welcoming staff. Great Thai food. Beautiful views of the water. Their lunch menu / deals are amazing!
Great cocktails with a friendly bartender!
The food was amazing! We grabbed take out as we had just arrived in the island and Om was so kind to us, she was the server who gave us the food. We felt so welcomed by her in the island, she gave us recommendations of the island and was interacting with us giving us the best advise to enjoy the island in the best way possible. Please make sure to stop by and appreciate their amazing Thai food that Teddy prepared with a lot of love and experience.
The Phad Thai was good. The other dishes cashewnut chicken were just ok
Food sucks, never had such a bad experience like this in my life. Food was stale. Tasted like it was a couple of days old.
Amazing Thai restaurant. Really friendly service and waterfront views. So glad to have came across this restaurant here in Bainbridge.
The staff was very friendly, the views were amazing, and the food was 10/10. Highly recommend.
UPDATE: The food left us feeling horrible and sick. Barely ate any of my plate as well, but the chicken satay and garlic chicken has us in shambles.
Nice spot but the food is not good, we got pad kee Mao, garlic chicken, chicken satay and wonton. Out of all of that, the only thing that was okay was the pad kee mao. The chicken satay was not seasoned or cooked well. The peanut sauce was runny. The plates came with cold rice, cold vegetables, and the chicken was cooked poorly. The pad kee Mao was okay but the tofu wasnβt cooked well. View was nice though, seating isnβt great.
Great location. A little confusing at first because nobody was at the door, so we thought they were closed. We ordered fresh rolls, garlic chicken, and masaman curry. The rolls are the only reason I didnβt give them one star, they were very flavorful and tasty.
My wifeβs garlic chicken came out so quick, I except it wasnβt freshly fried. The chicken was in very small pieces, and the garlic was dry so no flavor at all. Weβve had this dish before at other Thai restaurants and itβs always been a favorite so this was a major disappointment. Top it off it was served on top of the same sugary sweet sauce that came with the fresh rolls, and barely cooked vegetables. My wife also found a few flies in her rice. For $18 we expected more.
My curry was pretty good. Not used to the plate being served with the curry on top of the rice already, but it wasnβt bad.
The service was the most disappointing. My wife wanted soy sauce with her rice, kept waiting for a server to come by and after about 10 minutes I just went to the kitchen and asked. I believe this is why my wife got flies in her rice cause it was just sitting there. I heard multiple other people having a hard time getting a waiters attention to get the check as well.
Overall we probably wonβt be back. The food quality and service didnβt warrant the crazy high prices they were charging. I understand that they have to run a business, but 3 items and a bill of $52 bucks for just two people is a little ridiculous.
Got the Phad see ew beef and it was amazing. The wide rice noodles were perfect. Staff super friendly and we sat on the water - beautiful vibes.
The food was really good, I ordered the pad thai spicy and it was actually spicy which I appreciated! The portions were also quite big and very reasonably priced.
My new favorite Thai food in the area ! So flavorful. Had wonderful service and loved sitting along the water yesterday . Will definitely be back
Friendly service, great view of the waterfront and many seals. Great crunchy spring rolls and Shirley temple. Would definitely recommend.
Seating was bad, no umbrella in mid day and staff was apathetic about it. On the top of it, service was slow. Staff missed one order and veg smelled like fish
Stereotyped!
Absolutely amazing Thai food. Loved it and highly recomendππ
Tasty food ..we were generously hosted with our take out meal that we ate overlooking the harbor and the local boats ...we had just arrived in Bainbridge and didn't realize that lots of restaurants close at 7.30 or 8pm ..and the delightful staff really made us welcome and made that extra effort with a take out suggestion. Much appreciated and the food was great.
The lunch menu was perfect for us. All four meals were delicious and quickly served. We sat outside and enjoyed a beautiful day.
Delicious food, good service and a gorgeous view!
Top Thai with great drinks, and waterside seating. Ask for strong drinks and you will wobble out smiling.
Great location, right by the water, and the ferry. Standard Thai selections.
We had dinner here on the recommendation of a docent at a nearby museum. It happened to be the owner's birthday and he was visiting the tables and bringing birthday cake to share. It is clear this is a local favorite and the restaurant treats its regulars like stars. We sat outside by the water, with a view that just can't be beat. The food service was prompt. We stuck with familiar dishes like pad thai and red curry, and they did not disappoint. I would definitely dine here again almost as much for the view/atmosphere as for the food.
Over-the-top good service, delicious food, and stunning views.
It's a Great looking place.
AWFUL SERVICE!
We sat down with 1 other table. I then watched another 2 tables get sat down, and both of them got their orders in, and we still didn't have our drinks yet.
Incredible location. Great service π. Tasty food.
Sat down for lunch and was ushered outside. Beautiful view! However the server walked by our table 6 times without acknowleding us or taking our order. We walked away without being able to eat. Very disappointing.
Great place loved by locals
Food is wonderful
Friendly
Amazing fast service and delicious food! Highly recommended the gorgeous back patio seating on a nice day
Great Restaurant! The staff was super nice, the food was AMAZING, and the view was unbeatable! Definitely would recommend as they have great thai and seafood!
wonderful people, an amazing view, and the best food iβve had in a long time :)
Excellent service, delicious food, and a wonderful view! Would highly recommend.
The food was delicious and a really good portion size.
Three of us dropped in for an early dinner. What a view!! Our 3 dinners had unique fresh sauces with crisp vegetables. The service was warm and friendly. The homemade mango ice cream over lightly fried banana was a delightful and perfect way to end a great visit. We'll be back!!
Two of us me and Mom. Pleasant, quiet for a Friday. Ate dinner specials in the bar, it was very good. Glass of merlot and glass of chardonnay, both fine. Service was outstanding and the owner milled about. Reasonable price, overall good value. Nice alternative to Docs.
They always seem to have a seat by the water ready. Yummy food, friendly service. We love bringing guests here.
Incredible food...amazing service...gorgeous view! Best on Bainbridge - possibly whole peninsula! very reasonable prices!
Delicious and great lunch specials--$12
0!!!!
Reliably good Thai food at decent prices. The Phad Kee Mao with Tofu was everything I hoped for, but not exceptional. Our party was very happy with the service, although one of the dishes ordered with two star spice level was nearly too spicy to eat.
Food is awesome
Food was OK but presented in an unfamiliar way. I ordered a curry which I'm used to being served with rice. This one came over noodles. Main entrance was unattended but we noticed diners below so we went around back.
Great location, close to ferry, nice views. Excellent food and fast good service. Only reason it didnt get a five star was portions were on the smaller side for the curries.
Mediocre food. Only good is the view

Food was a solid 4.5 but the wait staff was a 3, it would be a 4.5 if the buss boy was in charge.
The pad thai was incredible!
Amazing food, great views and reasonably priced. We went around 1:30p on Sunday and there was no wait. Very gluten friendly and staff is so personable!! Thank you Emily & Henry!!!
Excellent and fresh Thai cuisine served by friendly and attentive staff in a clean and pleasant restaurant.
Nicest Owner! Great Service and Delicious Food! A Must Stop When On The Island ππΌ
Staff was knowledgeable and helpful preparing our food gluten free.
The outdoor eating space was on the water overlooking the oats at the marina.
Fantastic phad Thai and a wonderful quiet waterfront view. Away from the busy street.
Teddy is the best, good quality food and great service !!!
Best waterfront dining view on the island. Great Thai food.
A very pleasant deck and interior ambience.
Nice fish oriented menu, easy for newbies to understand.
Very fair prices.
Still the best!
I couldnβt be happier to have chosen Bainbridge Thai Cuisine for my family gathering! I had a party of 15 who were all visiting from different states for a mini reunion. Lunch was casual but Bainbridge Thai Cuisine made it a special dining experience with warm, fast and friendly service, delicious Thai food and beautiful views! This spot is a true gem and this family owned business has won my top places for future intimate dining to another memorable experience with large parties. Great food and great service is harder to come by and this place did not disappoint!
Great food. Friendly service. Decent prices. Highly recommend Bainbridge Thai Cuisine.
Hidden gem. Accommodating for vegans. Delicious food. Friendly service. Unbeatable views.
I read reviews about this place that said "mediocre food", "excellent view", "a BI icon run by a nice family". I would say that sums up my experience. The view from outside is fantastic and the family that runs the place very friendly but the food was mediocre Thai food. Still was enjoyable to eat but if you are looking for fine Thai food, this is not your place. Fine Thai food, to me, is delicately prepared, well seasoned and attractive in appearance. The food here was more like what you'd get at home during the middle of the week.
Amazing food and drinks! We just moved to the area and it's the first place we've found that actually makes delicious, SPICY food! (We ordered 5 star and it was perfect!)
This is one of my absolute favorite places in the world - and is the BEST pad thai I have ever had in my life! For the last 6-7 years I would drive 35 minutes one way, just to come pick up some food. It is THAT good and that consistent! Over the years, it has become my ultimate comfort food. From celebrations, to the worst days imaginable - Teddys pad thai has always been there to comfort me. Also - the rice is perfectly cooked every single time and they use an incredible jasmine rice that is so flavorful and a perfect accompaniment to my noodles. Thank you for all of the years of fantastic food, I am looking forward to many many more!
Donβt hesitate to check this place out, and if youβre looking to dine in - they have a water view that canβt be beat from their dining room (and excellent service!) Thanks again for all of the incredible meals, I adore you guys! (no photos because I always inhale my food hahahah)
Honestly one of the best Thai Restaurants I have been to. I got x4 spicy and it was delicious. Thank you for the excellent food!!
Great service, and delicious food! Teddy is a sweetheart and made the kids' day with chocolates π
Tried the Bainbridge island special fried rice and loved it!
Teddy and his wife run this wonderful restaurant. Really great food, staff, and atmosphere... I think this is the best thai food on the island...
AA meetings Mon thru Sat. 8 am See you there
Always great food and service here. I love their veggie pad thai, spring rolls and egg rolls.
BI Thai is an Island institution! Great food and excellent service from a kind and fun family-run restaurant. Make sure to say hi to Teddy, the owner. Ask for the special hot sauce if you dare (itβs great)!
Great!!!
Great food, great service and low cost
Fresh, clean taste. Star system seems to be very mild. 2stars had no heat. Next time will pump it up.
Such good food with amazing services and beautiful views of the water!!!
Level of service is my four star food was great.
Dissatisfied - ordered for pickup - was quoted 30 minutes. I arrived to pick up with many people standing around waiting. Staff appeared to be hiding. When someone finely came out 40 minutes after I had ordered - I was told it would be 20 minutes. I explained that my order was to have been ready 10 minutes prior. The hostess disappeared to check. I was then approached by a second individual who inquired of me and I explained that I was waiting on a pickup order - he too disappeared to check. An hour after I had placed my order - the hostess resurfaced with our order. A meek apology was offered and I walked away with my order. Once home I found the order incomplete. I am a long time island resident, I have ordered many time from the restaurant - often without full satisfaction. No more - two other very good if marginally less convenient Thai restaurants that will see a marginal uptick in their business.
One of the best on the island. Recommended!
This restaurant was pretty good. The location was nice, located right by the dock, and the Thai iced tea was some of the best I've ever had. I ordered the smoked salmon, and it was a bit undercooked. The staff were also friendly, so I give it 4 stars.
They take a break in the middle of the day from like 3:00-4:30 and they were pretty rude when we came in looking at food, even though there was no closed sign and the door was wide open. The hostess was laying down with her shoes off, feet up on a chair and informed us the WHOLE RESTAURANT was on break. Definitely not going there again. They should advertise that they take a middle of the day break.
Amazing Thai cuisine, the food was not greasy and their Thai ive tea is a must have along with their cream soda.
Food and service here is very good. Owners and wait staff were very friendly and accommodating. Nice view of the boats in the marina. Highly recommend this place!
The place has the best view of bainbridge bay. We saw otters playing in the water too. The service was excellent and food was delicious
Pros:
Good location by the pier
Good service (Ask for Jackson)
We got free spring rolls coz our food was taking long
Cons:
Ordered 4 meals, 1 was really terrible (over-salted) and the others were ok
Conclusion:
It's gonna be hit or miss on the food, which is the whole point of a restaurant, so I won't be returning. That said, I gotta give a shout out to Jackson. He was a great server!
Great food - seems like they use fresh ingredients, as the quality of dishes was high. Also, very reasonably priced.
Nice view. Food took 50 min. Staff was young and shouted between rooms. Vegatables were not cooked.
Has relaxing outdoor seating. The crab fried rice and green curry cod were delicious!!!!!!
5 guys on a road trip from the south and every single one of us loved not only the food but the woman running the place. The food was amazing and the spice was no joke. We talked for hours with the woman running the show and couldβve spent the day talking with her for hours about life.
10/10 recommended.
Waited about 40 minutes in total for Som Tam, Pad Thai, Satay, and Thai Iced tea to-go order.
The Thai Iced Tea was extremely bland, as if the cup was filled up halfway then water added to it.
Awesome location for romantic thai restaurant, my window table has water views.
The waiter was totally cool, he got good jokes.
Food five stars delicious. Must try the appetizer $20. Golden fried calamari crispy and soft on the inside
Was just here and the food is delicious π too bad people can be rude. As we were walking out, I heard the waitress say, here is our tip and began laughing behind our backs (So sad since times are hard these days). I saved money to bring my mom here for a nice mother's day dinner. I'm not rich but I tried to leave some tip for the their service. Won't ever come back here. That was very humiliating to have people laugh for the small tip I left.
Best thai food on island. Teddy and team run a great operation. Strongly recommend to anyone.
Good food and very nice owners.
Great food and atmosphere. Wonderful views and service
We had the most lovely lunch on the water and our charmingly cantankerous host was the highlight of our stop!
The food was extremely fresh!!
Great service and it is on the waterfront.
Great Place.
