The food was quite good, but unfortunately, the service was a huge disappointment. The owner didn’t understand English, which led to multiple mistakes with our order. When I requested a replacement for the wrong item, she simply canceled it instead.

Good food alone doesn’t make up for poor hospitality. I wouldn’t recommend this place unless the service improves significantly.

Wonderful Koi Soi!

got food poisoning

Diner Review №5

Not worth going to this restaurant for the flavor of their food or for a relaxing dinner. Service was poor: they forgot silverware and water!!!! Food was extremely oily and had little flavor. If you can, try a different Thai restaurant.

Diner Review №6

The boat noodles used to be my family’s favorite, and we’ve ordered it at least five times before. Me and my BF ordered 2 boat noodles tonight, this time the meatballs in the noodles tasted off—they were SOUR! We had to spit them out immediately. When the server asked if everything was okay, we mentioned the issue, but they insisted the meatballs were fine. This was very DISAPPOINTING. This restaurant used to be our go-to spot, but i guess not anymore.

Diner Review №7

The food was delicious and the waitress was such a fun and warm person. Will definitely be coming back!

Diner Review №8

We did carryout by ordering online. It was excellent food, and took less than 10 min to pick up once there. Eating in looked clean enough, nothing fancy, two rows of table and chairs.

Diner Review №9

The best Thai restaurant in town! And it's reasonably priced.

Diner Review №10

The best Thai food place around. I'm not kidding, they are the absolute best! The food is absolutely incredible, and the service is absolutely exceptional! I cannot say enough good things about this place! I try to stop in at least once a week!

Diner Review №11

We orderd ka-pao-rad-kao and khao mun gai and both are so delicious, this is indeed the best and most tasty Thai food in eastside that we have had so far. Their dessert looks so good but we were full already, so will definitely come back to try more varieties.

Diner Review №12

Love this place. Always delicious food.

Diner Review №13

Number one: I ordered mild pad Thai, medium pad se ew and medium tom yum soup. All of it was entirely flavorless. The most palatable was weirdly the mild pad Thai. Number two: I called the restaurant to express my issues and had one of the worst customer service experiences ever. The manager told me that it was apparently my problem that I didn't like the taste of the food. Two other people were with me and agreed with my opinion that the food was entirely flavorless. I have had lots of Thai food in my life. This is not good Thai food. It's just genuinely not, but moreover the staff was very rude.

We ordered the appetizer sampler, chicken pad Thai (L4) and a crispy garlic chicken (L5). Everything was delicious and flavorful. The spice levels were accurate. The service was excellent, everyone was friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be coming back !

Diner Review №17

I recommend Thai tea
Because it was like Real Thai Tea in Thailand and cheaper 🥰🥰🥰
But I ordered Thai noodles but they didn't give a spoon for me and I didn't say No meatball but a waiter she made no meatballs 🥲

Just recommend please make sure your order is will be correct ✅

Diner Review №18

Authentic Thai food!

Diner Review №19

The food is good. Some of the worst service I’ve ever had. The staff can’t seem to get their act together when there’s more than one customer. They prioritize pick up orders and barely take care of the dine in traffic. Orders are often wrong, drinks are rarely refilled, and waiting for the check during peak times is excessive.

Diner Review №20

I recently dined at this Thai restaurant, and it was fantastic! The Pad Thai was delicious—perfectly cooked noodles with just the right balance of flavors. The eggplant dish was also a standout, tender and packed with authentic Thai spices. The location is convenient, and having free parking nearby made the visit even better. Prices are modest for the quality and portion sizes, making it a great value. If you're looking for tasty Thai food in a welcoming spot with easy access, this place is a must-try!

Diner Review №21

Had Massaman Curry. This was a life-changing experience. I mean, I've had Curry that I liked before, but I've never had Curry like this before. This was a mouthgasm. Incredible. My only complaint, and really it's not a complaint, is that when asked how spicy one to five, I said five plus... Make it hot... It's not. However, even without the good solid bite back, this has so much flavor! I will definitely be back next time I'm in the area.

Diner Review №22

The food here is AMAZING! The staff is very friendly and helpful. Our party of 3 loved our lunch yesterday. We all ordered Cashew Nut on the lunch menu. It was $13.95 and it was large enough that I had the rest for my dinner. Loved it. A plus! It’s not a fancy place, but it doesn’t need to be with this great food. Great job Noodle Boat!

Diner Review №23

Each spoon of KHAO SOI with fried chicken offers a perfect mix of textures and flavors - the tender juicy chicken and the rich of coconut broth bring out the beat in each other # Swing by whenever it suit You

ทุกคำของข้าวซอยกับไก่ทอดคือการผสมผสานที่ลงตัวระหว่างสัมผัสและรสชาติ ไก่ทอดที่นุ่มชุ่มฉ่ำและน้ำซุปกะทิเข้มข้นช่วยเสริมกันอย่างลงตัว #ว่างเมื่อไหร่ก็แวะมา noodle boat

Diner Review №24

We ordered in and got the castle noodle with mixed vegetables and Ba Mee Hang with fries tofu. It's literally the worst Thai food we've ever had. The castle noodle just wasn't good flavor wise. The broccoli was sad broccoli and had that freezer burn steamed broccoli taste. All the veggies in this actually just weren't great and overcooked. The Ba Mee Hang was particularly disappointing for multiple reasons. 1. It was basically half a packet of ramen noodles with 2 tiny pieces of bok choy, 6 giant pieces of romaine lettuce as filler, and this fried crisp thing that took up literally half of the container and was soggy. It also had next to zero flavor. Oh, and the tofu wasn't even fried. We are honestly BAFFLED they think that was an acceptable dish to serve.

Noodle Boat is a hidden gem in Issaquah ! Authentic Thai food .
Butterfly pea lemonade is so refreshing. I had Kra Pow rad Kao and Crying Tiger, they are just like what I had in Thailand 🇹🇭.

Diner Review №30

Seriously? 4 1/2 pieces of chicken. Worst $20 I spent on lunch. Also a 25 min wait for a simple dish? Not going back.

Diner Review №32

Ordered takeout, food was done early. As I drove away I realized they packed no napkins or utensils, so drove back. No one at the front counter, but I could hear the staff laughing in the back. I grabbed what I needed myself near the menus and left.

I bought the golden noodle with pork. At the risk of sounded dramatic, I will say this dish was probably the worst Thai food I’ve ever had in my entire life. I actually couldn’t believe how bland it was. The vegetables were flavorless and pale, and the pork looked and tasted like it was boiled in plain water. The peanut sauce was bland and sweet, layered on top of a pile of gummy noodles that were congealed, so I had to work pretty hard with my tiny take out fork to mix it all together. Everything needed salt and more flavor. I wish I had gone to trader Joe’s and gotten their 7$ peanut sauce noodle bowl instead.

I almost went in to ask for a refund, but decided it was more work than it was worth and pushed through with the resolution to never come here again.

Diner Review №33

Meh. - This place used to be awesome, I think I’ve tried it too many times now hoping for a better experience but I’ve noticed in the last, maybe year, they’ve changed food portions. I always get curry and it used to come in a big bowl with a bowl of rice on the side. Now they plate the rice and put a small bowl of curry next to it. With protein, especially the tofu, there’s truly not much room for sauce or vegetables in the bowl. I leave hungry and not feeling like the $$ I paid and food I got were equivalent.

Diner Review №34

Very good restaurant and very good food. Ate with my family and got the pad kee mow, crab fried rice, crispy garlic chicken, and mun sen salad. Very good service and food came out quick and hot and fresh. The crab fried rice was amazing and with very fresh crab on it. Every thing else was very fresh and very tasty. The portions were great for sharing and not overly big at the same time. And the best was for dessert which was the mango sticky rice. It took about 10 min however it was freshly made to order and was absolutely amazing to end off the meal. Would most definitely recommend this place if in the area or wanting some really good thai foo

From the moment you step inside, you are greeted with a welcoming and cozy atmosphere. The decor is tastefully done, blending traditional Thai elements with a modern touch. The comfortable seating and soft lighting create a relaxing environment, perfect for enjoying a meal with family or friends.

The menu is a delightful journey through the rich and diverse flavors of Thai cuisine. Each dish is carefully crafted with fresh ingredients and authentic spices, resulting in a perfect balance of taste and presentation. The Pad Thai is an absolute must-try, with its tender noodles, succulent shrimp, and flavorful sauce. The Green Curry, with its aromatic blend of herbs and coconut milk, is another standout dish that showcases the depth of Thai flavors.

One of the highlights is the attention to dietary preferences and needs. The menu offers a variety of options for vegetarians and those with gluten sensitivities, ensuring that everyone can find something delicious to enjoy.

The service is impeccable. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about providing an excellent dining experience. They go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and ensure that every aspect of your meal is perfect. From the prompt seating to the timely delivery of dishes, the service is smooth and efficient.

In addition to the outstanding food and service, it offers great value for money. The portion sizes are generous, and the prices are reasonable, making it an ideal spot for both casual meals and special occasions. The quality of the food and the overall dining experience far exceed the cost, making it a fantastic choice for Thai cuisine enthusiasts.

In conclusion, it is a culinary gem that offers authentic Thai flavors, a warm and inviting atmosphere, and exceptional service. Whether you’re a fan of Thai food or new to the cuisine, this restaurant is sure to impress with its delicious dishes and top-notch hospitality. I highly recommend Noodle Bar Thai Cuisine and look forward to many more visits.

The food was fantastic! So delicious and reasonably priced. The staff was super friendly as well. It took a bit for our food to make it out, but they seemed super busy. Will definitely come back again.

The staff was wonderful, and the food was delicious. Although my dad had ordered a level 3 spicy, and to him, it did not taste spicy at all, he was not really happy about it.
Overall, to me personally, it is great

Diner Review №45

Noodle Boat is always a yummy experience! They have some unique dishes. My favorite (and I guess other people’s favorite) is named… Whatever it Called? Soooooooooo delicious!!!!! I get it with pork and I add a bowl of brown rice.

Diner Review №46

Very generous portion of the veggie tofu fresh rolls, and the peanut sauce is good too!

Diner Review №47

Food is really bad. Pad see ew too salty. Pineapple fried rice has no flavor. Crispy garlic chicken is not edible; way too salty and is 80% bread.

Diner Review №48

Plenty of quality, food and the chicken chunks are normal. Not too thin. I want a stronger and better quality. Plastic fork to go not standard. Tiny weak, but next tier up quality, plastic fork. And spoon.

Diner Review №49

Very nice Thai place. One of the better ones. We even catered for a small event from here and they were very nice.

Diner Review №50

Diner Review №51

Seems to be new owners, same menu. Wife ordered Phadthai, I ordered sweet and sour chicken that I’ve ordered dozens of times before. Wife’s Phadthai was completely normal. Mine was room temperature. I informed the waitress, and she took it back. A couple of minutes later the kitchen staff brought it back out, scorching hot in the middle of the plate and close to room temperature around the entire perimeter of the plate. It was CLEARLY microwaved and not even microwaved well. I didn’t send it back again. After I paid I asked the older gentleman checking me out, if he was the owner and he said yes. I told him about my experience so that maybe he could improve in the future. The only thing out of his mouth was that “it didn’t happen” and “our microwave is broken today”, followed up with a nice “whatever”. No checking with the waitress or kitchen staff. For him it was definitely a “me” problem not a “him” problem. Mistakes happen and anyone can always improve. An owner with no interest in their customers, is much harder. I’ve got everywhere else in the world to spend my money, so I guess I’ll be doing that from now on.

Diner Review №52

Avoid this place. The only thing they know is to apologize for everything. Phad Thai was smelling bad. Shrimp fried rice was fried without shrimp being fried. Just kept the precooked shrimps on the top. The quality and service has gone completely wrong. Will never visit again as there are many other good Thai restaurant in town

Diner Review №53

Diner Review №54

$57 worth of food is this much. App told food is ready in 25mins. Took me over 50minutes

Diner Review №55

I’ve had food from Noodle boat a couple of times and have loved their pineapple fried rice. But the recent two orders have been so bad that I had to write a review. The pineapple fried rice was flavorless( for a spice level 3), the rice and chicken were dry. I assumed it was a mistake once and reordered again today. Disappointed again.

Diner Review №56

The food and service both are not at all good. The vegetables used for soups and platters were not at all fresh. Mushrooms were smelling bad and the shrimp used for fried rice were not stir fried (undercooked).

Diner Review №57

The yellow curry fried rice is to fight over for. Loved the green curry too. Infact I over order from this place every time as some dishes like panang, yellow, green curry taste better the next day. I totally think this restaurant offers good food that is worth exploring. Highly recommend the yellow curry fried rice n green curry!!

Diner Review №58

I Actually ordered in store to go I had Faith it would be Good It was a belated Mothers day Dinner And The Thai Fried Rice With extra Tomatoe Tasted So Aweful I can't even explain I litterally Cried I haven't ever Tasted something So Aweful I Can't ever Imagine A Soul Stomaching what I was given I am Sorry I had this experience but I paid 37$ and 5 dollars for Pad Basil in Bowl that wasn't full peanut sauce and This Thai Rice is Utterlly Litterally Like it was Dead maggoty Omg It scared me I am Bringing It back to them and will Not ever bring my Business here again Be warned Friends it Broke My Heart.

Diner Review №59

We had guests and had a big order, but then due a some confusion on door dash's side we never got the food. The restaraunt called us to check if we had recieved the food even though it was past their closing time and made sure till the end that we were informed and finally offered to make the entire order for us . The food quality and taste was wonderful too. I commend theem for their excellent customer service and their dedication.

Diner Review №60

The pad see ew and mango sticky rice are so good! The environment is warm and inviting. I'll be back for sure

Diner Review №63

I've eaten here multiple times and the food is usually very tasty. Last night I ordered tje Pad Thai and it was on the dry side. Not a show stopper, I'll try another dish next time.

Diner Review №64

Great casual thai spot. Feels very authentic. Plenty of vegan options. Kind staff.

Update: just went here again recently and blown away by how amazing the curry is!! Would recommend this spot to anyone. They’re super fast with orders too!

Diner Review №65

The guy on the front is extremely rude to delivery drivery drivers and make us wait for hours at the counter
I asked him five time how long its going to take but he never answered, we just get paid 5 dollars to deliver your order and if you make us wait for 30 minutes its like 10 $ an hour and fuel cost and car payment as well , you will never last a day doing delivery waiting like this at stores
Please respect others time as well

Diner Review №66

We have been here before and service was good, food was very good. Today, we'll let's just day that it made us not want to return. Not only did they take way too long to come and take our order, but when we received spring roolls they were cold and soggy on the inside. Then the Tom Yum that I ordered for my son, which I specifically asked for NO SPICE AT ALL. arrived with spice so I let them know and she took it back and returned with a new one, or so we thought. Literally flavorless!!! I can honestly say that it tasted as if the soup was dumped and rinsed in water then reheated and just served it to us!! It was literally meat and water no flavor at all. You can see the discoloration of the meat and tasted just horrible. Not sure what happened today but we for sure think twice before returning. Again nice server but horrible, food.

Diner Review №67

This is an authentic Thai restaurant with very good food. Be sure to order the Thai iced tea!

Diner Review №68

Orders not done timely. Leave you sitting for over 30 minutes fir a to go order. While sitting there others wanting to cancel orders. Poor server is new.

Diner Review №69

Diner Review №70

The food is good, tasty. Brown rice pudding and Thai iced tea is amazing. The chicken satay is one of the best.

Diner Review №71

Friendly staff, fast service. Red curry was excellent - rich, good flavor.

Diner Review №72

Diner Review №73

Great experience all around. Service was on point - Ben and Yotien (spelling?) were quick and caring. Food came out fast.

The papaya salad was fresh and crisp, with a generous amount of shrimp. The Tom Kah had plenty of juicy mushrooms and protein, and it tasted authentic and delicate. The chicken satay was grilled nicely, moist, and paired with a creamy peanut dressing. Purple rice mango dessert was well balanced.

They even made us a special dish - Thai basil rice (Thai style) which took me right back to Bangkok. We were impressed with the night and ended up ordering additional takeout for lunch the next day.

Will be back to try the recommended noodle boat. Thanks for the wonderful night!

Great Thai! We had the chicken red curry, chicken pad Thai and orange chicken. All very delicious. We ordered takeout and it was ready for us to collect within 20 mins. We'll definitely order from here again. This is our new local Thai place 😊. The portions are a decent size too.

A great little family place with excellent Thai food and service!

Diner Review №84

The young man was lovely, the food was excellent. Never had a bad meal. Very reasonable

Diner Review №85

Some of the best Thai food I've had in a long time! Both the Pad Woonsen and the Curry were fantastic. The portion sizes are good - 1 meal if you're hungry and 2 if you're not too hungry. Plenty of vegetarian options. Prices are very reasonable. Good and fast service. There's an electric fireplace to warm your hands by which is a nice perk, and the ambience is overall quite pleasant. We were seated immediately on a Wednesday evening. There's plenty of parking. I'll be back!

Diner Review №86

Delicious Thai food and drinks, we ordered few dishes and shared. Service was fast and friendly. Mango smoothies were so tasty and Thai iced tea is served in a clay jar, which was pretty cool.

Diner Review №87

Ordered pad thai spice level 2, but it tasted more like level 4. To make it worse, it was extremely sweet.. dessert level sweet!

Diner Review №95

Hands down, best authentic Thai restaurant on the east side! Noodle Boat never disappoints. Their food is always on point. You know it's likely going to be a great meal when everyone from the front & back staff speak Thai. I highly recommend the Phad Kaprao (ground meat with holy basil) with perfectly fried egg with runny yolk.

Diner Review №96

Great food

Diner Review №97

We had dinner on Friday evening and it was delicious! We let our 8 yr old pick between all the Thai options in the area and we are so lucky she chose this one. Would definitely recommend.

Diner Review №98

I Googled "food near me" while doing my dialysis. This was the first place that popped up & I was craving Thai food. When my appointment was over, my boyfriend & I went to dine in. Great atmosphere, service was great, they bring a tofu soup before your food comes & it was yummy. We ordered the phad see ew with chicken & it's the best we've had so far. Can't wait to try their other dishes! Definitely recommend & we'll be returning for more delicious food!!!

Diner Review №99

I recommend this place if you would like to have authentic Thai food. The food and appetiser we ordered was really delicious. I had their Thai Iced Tea as well. It's really nice.

Diner Review №100

Used to be good, but in my recent visit this restaurant is now quite disappointing. Be careful as who knows they are sneaky for charging you extra!! I ordered Ka Pao Rad Khow the minced meat rice from their menu, which the picture in menu for comes with a fried egg. I thought this is real Thai food but RIDICULOUSLY they secretly charge you for $2.00 for just the egg that comes in on that dish which is the same on the menu picture. I ate so many minced meat rice before in Asia, the egg ALWAYS comes with THIS DISH. It's not like an extra thing for the fish if you know Thai dish!! If you wanna be regret, go to eat at this restaurant!

Diner Review №101

I had lunch with a friend here yesterday. We ordered Phad Thai, Ka Pao Rad Phow and Thai iced tea&coffee. They were all delicious. Service

Diner Review №104

My husband and I had lunch special options and Thai tea. The Thai tea was great. His pad kee Mao was good. Asked for it extremely spicy and it wasn't really spicy at all even for me who doesn't eat much spice. I ordered the yellow curry. It was tasty but not at all spicy either and I asked for about medium. Very little chicken in it. The menu says that lunch specials come with soup and/or salad and neither of us received any of either. The rice I was served was odd. Different shapes and sizes and some was cooked all the way and some was still hard. Service was good. We haven't decided if we want to go back. Portions are small.

Diner Review №105

Diner Review №106

The Thai food here is decent but nothing to ride home about. It's pretty generic. The mango sticky rice was very tart and I had asked before if it would be sweet and I was guaranteed it would be but it clearly wasn't and that was disappointing

Diner Review №107

Great Thai restaurant, you can tell the food it's gonna be good, when you hear the cooking staff singing in the back, food is great, had tried multiple dishes already on my 2nd visit so far, had great experiences and tastes in all of them!
Thumbs up to attention to details, customer service and excellent taste!

Diner Review №117

Food was very expensive for what you get, and we had to drive back from the hotel to get items that they forgot. Food was very cold by the time we got back to the hotel for the second time. Won't be back.

Diner Review №118

Great food, very good service, best Thai food in the area.

Diner Review №119

It's a small, hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Issaquah off Gilman Blvd. I was there with my family for dinner. They got a little mixed-up with the number of people on our reservation, but we didn't have to wait for very long before they had a place for us. The food was good, but kind of small portions for a large family. They had more vegetables on the plate than the meat of choice. But overall, it was good.

Diner Review №120

My husband and I had some friends visiting from out of town and we brought them here for dinner. There are a good number of vegetarian options on the menu, we all went with pad thai and spring rolls. The food was good but a bit sweeter than normal, we felt the spice levels (1-5) were spot on with what we expected. Our server was kind and attentive. The atmosphere is just average, but it’s clean. We will definitely be back to try some other items on the menu.

Diner Review №128

The food was very bland. I ordered curry, and it came with this super sweet peanut sauce that tasted like corn syrup. The tofu was not cooked. It's like they opened a package and plopped it on my dish without cooking it. I can't remember the last time I didn't eat my food, I mean, I dont ever think there has been a time I didn't eat my food, in my whole adult life. The server asked if I wanted a to-go box, I said no and had the server take the full plate. He didn't even ask if there was something wrong. My bf's father got a dish that came out and looked like boiled plain chicken on top of plain rice. He said it was not good. The place was very busy, and the poor kid was the only one on the floor serving. He was running around like a mad man. He was very sweet and polite. But I felt bad for him. He was serving the whole restaurant by himself, and it was full. Plus, many people were coming in for takeout. It was a zoo. It was the WORST Thai restaurant I've ever been to. Definitely will not go back.

Used to be a lot better. Disappointed in my recent visit. Very small portion for almost $15 & they definitely skimped on the sauce, broccoli, and chicken in my dish. Which resulted in a very underwhelming noodle based dish...

Great Service, Good Ambiance and Very Tasty Food.
We got the fresh rolls for appetizer. We wanted to try the Queen of Banana - it was very tasty. It was made up of banana blossoms (the banana flowers that later bloom into bananas), shrimp & chicken. The lime leaves, mint leaves and cilantro added nice flavor. We ordered Phad Ginger - the black bean sauce was not overpowering. One of the best Phad Ginger we have had. We ended the dinner with Black Rice Pudding. It had a bit more of coconut milk but still was awesome. We will go there as we have more items to try.

Satay and yum neua were delicious. The fresh rolls were falling apart and so so. The Thai iced coffee was so bad I threw it out, the coffee tasted old.

Diner Review №153

Love this place - fast pickup time, spice-level always on point, hitting the right spot based on the # of stars you want. They are happy to tweak the dishes based on your taste/palate. Living near them, have eaten many dishes over the year s- can't go wrong going to Noodle Boat.

It’s so sad that the original owners are no longer running the place. The food is 1/10th what it used to be. The flavors are not anything like the original. The red curry was a thing of beauty before…now it’s just like every other Thai restaurant. Taste just like Bai Tong now. So disappointing. They used to have a fluffy deep (red) Brown rice, now it’s over starchy mushy clumps of light brown rice goo. YUCK! The changes to the decor are an odd choice, too. You’re literally seated elbow to elbow with other people now. There’s no separation between people so conversations are difficult. Based on the cleanliness of the place, which I WAS willing to overlook because the flavors were to die for, now seems like Bai Tong will be a better choice. The taste the same…but clean.

AMAZING!! Lovely lovely people the absolute best Thai food you will ever have! Our server was Eve and she was so sweet and helpful we loved her. Try the pad tai or the noddle boat! And for sure get the Thai iced tea it’s yummy and comes in a super cute cup, No msg in their food and they don’t need it!

I hadn't been to this restaurant since it changed ownership. It's definitely not what it used to be. This used to be one of my favorite Thai restaurants ever.

Good food

Diner Review №164

I had take out food from this place and after reading the bathroom situation? I'm not going back. It says that if the restroom is dirty DON'T EAT THERE.

Diner Review №165

It's always nice to see a family-run place like this doing well, and I'm glad to see them expand into the space next door. We've ordered tens of times from them for takeout, and I can't think of a single bad experience. Even when they're busy, they've always been friendly, they've been careful to make sure the order isn't missing anything. I wind up craving their noodles every couple of weeks, so it's good that they're close by!

Homely Thai restaurant. One side of the restaurant is always closed it seems. Staff is friendly and food is good.

Diner Review №167

Food and service is good, although the back area where the restrooms are, is rather messy and dirty. It could do with a bit of sprucing up now that prices have jumped considerably. It would certainly help with the dining experience if the restrooms were tidier and cleaner. It makes you wonder if the kitchen area is the same! It's not conducive to happy eating vibes.

We ordered “whatever you called?” Is a peanut curry that we loved it so much. We really recommend it. We think was a 5 delicious.
We also ordered pad sew with beef we want to say it was a 4 just because the beef was a little bit tough, but the flavor was great. The water was not filtered. Very good service, the kid was really nice.

I had the curry and my friend had cashew chicken, it was OK. There were hardly any veggies in the curry dish. The place itself is sad, cluttered, and dumpy looking with a pile of bricks inside the front door, random stuff around, cheap, stained, peel and stick flooring missing, and a lot of old, worn out, damaged booths. The hallway to the bathroom was gross and the bathroom wasn't any better. Makes me wonder what the kitchen is like...we won't be back.

Service, Food, Aesthetic, and Pricing are all fantastic.

Came here by accident and had a huge smile on my face leaving.

I had the pad kee mao and Thai iced tea and enjoyed a lovely meal.

Diner Review №171

There's some makeshift bench-like seating against a half height dividing wall. Avoid sitting against that if possible. It was incredibly uncomfortable. Otherwise everything else was great.

Diner Review №172

This Thai restaurant located in Issaquah has poorly prepared cusine, little to no atmosphere with chairs and old furniture staked in half the restaurant seating area. As we sat many people came and went with to go orders, so they seem popular, but no one dined in. FOLLOW ME for more thoughtful recommendations as I travel the world 🌎

Very good food, nice staff, go here.

Diner Review №182

Some of the best Thai food my wife and I have ever had. Excellent service as well!

Diner Review №183

Delicious Thai food. We had the Phad Kee Mao and the Phad See Lew with tofu, 3/5 heat. We definitely could have done hotter, but it was delicious anyway. Be prepared to wait as lack of staffing is affecting them as it is most of the world right now.

Diner Review №184

Food was great! I was getting takeout and not dine-in but still spent enough time there (more on that later) to observe my surroundings. The environment is nicely suited for a family dinner. Quiet / pleasant environment with homey decorations.

I got there would UberEats told me that my food would supposedly be ready. The only issue I had was that they were short staffed (like many restaurants seem to be nowadays) so my food took an extra 10 minutes to be prepared. I’m sure this is only temporary however, so I won’t knock this place for it.

Summer Noodles with Prawns. Level (3) on a 5 spicy scale. Much spicier than (2) from Bai Tong. I loved the spiciness. Prawns were generous size and portion. Amenities are touched up, seat placements are Ikea. Water had no ice. None of these things are of concern to me. RGB LED bulbs were here and lit up! Just like a gaming PC. The seasonings on the table didn't appear the most sanitary, but fortunately my food was plenty spicy.

Diner Review №186

My boyfriend got really bad food poisoning and I had a terrible stomachache that night. We think the chicken may have been raw

Diner Review №187

Everytime my husband and I visit this place it never disappoints. Authentic Thai food I have ever had so far. Love it and will definitely come back again. Their crispy noodles was the best so far. Pad thai was sooo delicious. Their mango and sticky rice for dessert... YUMMY!!!

I am American born Thai and I have been to Thailand as well and have to say, this place has some of the best thai food I have ever tasted. All their dishes are hits and no misses. I can tell their is some asian fusion but still hold to some thai cuisine traditions. I think their food can cater to all palates and you will not regret going here! Also their service is amazing, although they are short staffed they make up for it with their service and friendliness! Visiting from NY and this is the place I want to come back to seattle for first!

Diner Review №193

The service here is really good. We enjoyed our lunch here. I ordered red curry and khow ob gai tod. Very flavorful and fresh. I think this is one of the best Thai restaurants I've been to.

Diner Review №194

Holy, the noodles are amazing! Even the crispy chicken was good. Nothing bad to say about this place.

Food is great. Customer service not bad either.

Diner Review №197

Very good. Fast. Inexpensive. Delicious. The wonton soup is the best I've had. Dragon antenna was good too!

Diner Review №198

I used to eat here quite frequently over the past 8 years. About 5 months ago I ordered their chicken Pad Thai to go and when I got home I was very disappointed. I called and spoke with the new owner who apologized they had not updated the menu. Today I ordered their chicken Pad Thai again. When I got home and opened the box it didn't look like any Pad Thai I've ever ordered and ate before (There's a pic posted two weeks ago and it looked than the pic). It was "fluffy and airy" something the American Heart Association would endorse lol and in the chicken Pad Thai there was maybe two small pieces of chicken the size of an American Silver dollar and as thin. I had asked for 2 stars of out 5, The flavor was bland and that's being generous. I also asked for a couple extra lime slices- when picked up the order I was assured they were in there...nope. The miso soup has a little flavor but not much.

I agree with what Kathleen mentioned in her review especially the transparency when the new owners came in. . I'd like to add it's a shame when new owners benefit from the reputation/goodwill of the previous owners.

Diner Review №199

Quaint little place with friendly staff and great food! I had the deep fried rainbow trout (spice level 2) with brown rice and a Thai Iced tea. Everything was delicious! I love Thai food and have tried many Thai restaurants, but this is the first time I've ever had my drink served to me in a clay cup. It was really unique and memorable! I highly recommend this restaurant.

Diner Review №200

Seems like all the food has a lot of sugar in them. Fried rice is burnt. Chicken Satay is sour. I have never in the life that had eaten satay that taste so weird. Definitely not recommend.
