Tumra Thai – A Hidden Gem in Kirkland

We had the most heartwarming experience at Tumra Thai, a cozy, family-run restaurant in Kirkland that truly embodies the warmth of Thai hospitality. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed by the owner, a wonderful Thai woman who made us feel like guests in her home.

The food was absolutely authentic, fresh, and bursting with flavor—easily some of the best Thai cuisine we’ve ever had. What truly set Tumra Thai apart was their willingness to customize dishes to our vegan needs without compromising taste. They were the first restaurant to accommodate a no-sugar request in their sauces, which not only showcased their commitment to fresh ingredients but also made the dishes incredibly vibrant and clean in flavor.

Beyond the food, what made this visit unforgettable was the genuine warmth of the owner and staff. They went out of their way to engage with our daughter, keeping her entertained and happy while sharing beautiful stories about Thailand. It felt less like dining out and more like visiting a close friend’s home.

If you’re looking for authentic Thai food with a personal touch, Tumra Thai is an absolute must-visit. This is the kind of experience that stays with you long after the meal is over—we will definitely be back!

Very tasty, but not spicy AT ALL, even when asking for a "4" on their spiciness scale.

Diner Review №5

These restaurants owners are very customer oriented: they made each of our separate entrees “made to order”. The food was delicious, too. The place was neat and restroom was clean. I recommend this restaurant with 5 stars!

Diner Review №6

The food is very good and a nice atmosphere. People are very nice and Service is good.

Diner Review №7

Great food but terrible prices

Diner Review №8

Delicious, authentic Thai foods! My favorite dishes were Tom Yum soup and shrimp fried rice. Both dishes reminded me of authentic flavor in Thailand.

Diner Review №9

I thought I'd try a different Thai place and this one was convenient. So I ordered takeout Chicken Massaman Curry with medium spice. The chunks of potato are green and inedible, and the curry is sweet and bland. Good thing the chicken and rice are good. I won't go back.

Diner Review №11

Quite nice little place. But not tidy.

Food has average flavor, Nothing spectacular ,or anything special to make it standout. Actually little disappointing.

Was hoping food would be good, and taste more authentic after seeing this nice old owner lady, but actually the results were the opposite.

Also portions were small. Maybe meant for small person. That makes their food pricy. Must order several dishes to get full.

They skimped on the seasonings quite a bit. You can taste the difference, food taste like it is watered down, and diluted with lots of water. Still taste like thai

Must choose another place for Thai food destination

Tried Pad see ew it was horrible

Diner Review №14

Always wonderful service best thai on the eastside maybe even all of washington

Diner Review №15

I rarely write restaurant reviews, but this place feels special, so I want to share my thoughts. The sensory experience appeals to all of your senses from the moment you step through the door, the spices catch your attention. As you are being seated, with food delivered to other diners, you can't help but notice that it is visually appealing. As you study the menu, it is a bit of a dilemma, but you can't justify ordering one of everything! You make your choices and place your order and as it arrives it caps off the whole sensory experience.

Diner Review №16

A new discovery in my neighborhood. I tried a couple of Thai restaurants when I moved to Kirkland and this restaurant gets my best rating. Beyond having good food, I want a place that feels welcoming. It is an added bonus that this place is family run.

Diner Review №17

I have tried and loved all kinds of Thai food throughout my travels, but I always come back for my favorites - Pad Thai, Pad Prig, vegetarian spring rolls, and mango with sticky rice.

Everyone needs a local restaurant where you are always welcomed with a genuine smile, where the food is tasty, the spices are authentic, and the prices are reasonable. This restaurant has always been that place for me.

Diner Review №18

Not the best Thai but it was ok.

Diner Review №19

We ordered chicken and seafood Pod Thai and they were spot on with a perfect mix of texture and flavors. The heat was just right for our taste, but the spice level could be adjusted.
Given the quality of the food and the portions, Thumra Tai offers a great value.

Diner Review №20

Cute little Thai place with a very sweet owner. Many dishes, all of them good. Give them a try!

Diner Review №21

Quiet, cozy, small booths, peaceful music. Great for the over-stimulated. Food: veggies are cooked to tender crisp and have great crunch. Not over-sauced, or over salted or over sugared at all. Delicious!

Diner Review №22

Diner Review №23

Over the years, this place has become very expensive and portions have become smaller 😞

Diner Review №24

Best Thai food ever!!! Very clean and excellent service!

Diner Review №25

We came on. quiet Monday afterrnoon. We ordered Lard Na and Tomyam noodle soup. And wow it was so good! The lard na has a lot of meat, the pork was thin wide slices and very tender with lots of veggies. The tom yam soup was also very tasty. Maybe it's just me, but it tasted very authentic, they put chunky peanut and they use ground shrimp powder. These arre really beyond the standard Thai food I usually have. Will come back :) Please try it.

Forgot to add, the owner was very kind and friendly and she gave me the pickled jalapeno that I asked :)

Diner Review №26

Diner Review №27

I have been to this place twice in the last few months. The noodle dishes have no flavor except spice. Even one star was so over peppered that we had to choke down our food. It was a waste of almost $50 for 2 dishes and a Thai tea.

Diner Review №28

Quantity was pretty less for the price and they missed a couple of veggies in the stir fry that were mentioned in the menu.
Flavor wise the food is good though.

Diner Review №29

This is an amazing mom and pop place. The service is always friendly and the food has never disappointed.

Diner Review №30

Great lunch and dinner place and super nice owner. Mom and pop place, hard working, genuine Thai food.

Diner Review №31

Diner Review №32

I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves Thai food. I have been coming to this restaurant for years, and always impressed with food, the service and the atmosphere. This restaurant is run by husband and wife in their late 50s who are very friendly and welcoming. Recently they are facing tough time medically and deserve your support during this time. Please support this restaurant by dining or order online here soon!

Diner Review №33

I was greeted by a friendly face promptly and my order came out quickly but the chicken in the curry was very dry ( not tenderized) and the tofu in the noodle dish was like rubber. I’ve eaten at many Thai places in my life and this is one is not at par with the many others I’ve tried. I think perhaps they pre-cook the chicken and tofu.

Diner Review №34

Wonderful food, and friendly staff. I got takeout from here tonight, and it was absolutely delicious. Thank you, and I will definitely be back.

Diner Review №35

Chicken satay is fire!

Diner Review №36

Nice restaurant with nice ambiance

Diner Review №37

Diner Review №38

Just got our take out food home.

We started trying this place and have been happy when eating in person. I was disappointed to see this is how much of a dinner portion of Panang Curry chicken is. This container, white rice, and Vegatable Pad Thai was $30.75. Asking for a side of chili sauce resulted in they were out and packeted Siracha sauce.

I will have to start looking at other Thai options.

Diner Review №39

Service was great, the lady that served us was kind, food was ok, more on the spicy side in my opinion but otherwise it was good. Place was small, quiet and clean.

Diner Review №40

Diner Review №41

Our new Thai find... It's been here for quite some time, we're new here 🙂
Drunken Noodle Soup was yum and so was the Curry Fried rice. We ordered it with Fried tofu and loved it. To finish off the meal we ordered the Black Rice Pudding is something you'd want to kill for! Highly recommended.

Diner Review №42

I had Curry for the first time. And it was delightful 😊

Diner Review №43

I have been going to Thumra Thai for the last 8 years and they never disappointed me, I have a very pleasant experience whenever I go there, feels home and the food is tasty.

Diner Review №44

Great local Thai food. Always quiet and reasonably priced. I have had better Thai food but I still come here a few times a month and always leave happy.

Diner Review №45

The whole family works there and the husband cooks. FANTASTIC, AUTHENTIC THAI FOOD. So good. I've been going there for 15 years and they know my dad and me and our orders on sight!

ETA several years past that review - STILL fantastic. I always get the Thom Kar soup before the meal (shared) and I always get the massaman (peanut) curry with chicken and rice (only complaint - need way more rice especially when sharing!) And my dinner date (so to speak) got the drunken noodles with prawns. Everything was cooked to perfection, my friend cleaned their plate! I have never had some of the older reviews' problems with undercooked prawns (my dining partner's looked perfectly grilled) and my chicken in both the soup and curry didn't taste/feel "microwaved" (speaking as someone who actually *has* attempted to microwave a chicken breast to avoid the tedium of "real" cooking). Trust me - this is FAR superior to my microwave attempts! The ONLY food there that I wouldn't recommend is the pad Thai. It's not very peanut -y, has a strange red sauce on them. If you want AMAZING phad Thai, go to the crossroads mall food court. Seriously. Not kidding. Huge portion sizes, and you will keep eating until you can't anymore and still have half to take home!

ETA3 the family that runs this restaurant are very diligent with mask-wearing. They no longer require proof of vaccination though.

Diner Review №46

Their food is well prepared, fresh, tasty, from good ingredients. Currently my favorite Thai in this area.

Diner Review №47

Spa-like, intimate atmosphere with terrific thai food

Diner Review №48

I ordered chicken satay and Siam ocean delight. Both were excellent. In fact, they were so good I ordered exactly the same dishes the next time. The place is exceptionally clean and service is superb. I’ll be back to sample more of the menu.

Diner Review №49

The food here is awesome. The owner is very kind. Recommended!

Diner Review №50

How can you make horrible curry? it was green water with Thai spices.

Diner Review №51

Small and quaint, but overpriced and not authentic. Lunch specials are just full priced entrees posted on a "lunch" menu. Yellow curry is made with curry powder, not traditional curry paste...there's a difference! Red curry was tolerable, but the chicken tossed into it was severely overcooked and difficult to chew, possibly microwaved. Only things I can recommend here are the pad Thai and Thai tea, which were tasty, but not made to our order specifications. Overall, service is slow, not particularly welcoming or inviting, and the prices are rather high for the quality of food you get. I doubt I will go back.

UPDATE: I appreciate the owner's response, but it's not an honest reply. I've been eating Thai since I was a child, I have Thai friends that are as close as family, and I even had my honeymoon in Thailand! I cook Thai dishes myself and make my own curry paste at home. I can pick apart spices in dishes like few can. If you don't use curry powder in your yellow curry, then I don't know what was going on the day I visited! Perhaps you had a substitute cook who didn't fully understand how to prepare your dishes? Perhaps you didn't make the curry in-house? Either way, it was not a proper "Thai" style yellow curry. Also, I'm very familiar with Turmeric, as I cook with it regularly and also drink it mixed with ginger in a glass of orange juice every morning! That is not the flavor that made the yellow curry so disappointing. Also, regarding the chicken, there's a difference between "properly cooked" and "overcooked". Not only am I a cook myself, but I am also a ServSafe Manager, so I understand food safety and the appropriate degrees of cooking necessary in order to minimize health risks. Your chicken wasn't just "safe", it was cooked to the point of nearly being inedible!

Diner Review №52

It's in a strip mall. Don't let that sway you, the food here is exceptional. I do not live nearby, but anytime I am traveling north, I would get off the freeway just to stop here for lunch.

Diner Review №53

I'm fairly new to the area, and this place has quickly become a favorite lunch spot.

The restaurant is small and quiet and has a friendly, family vibe.

The food is great -- fresh and flavorful and interesting. My go-to is the Drunken Noodles, which are a really satisfying lunch, with just the right amount of spice.

I'll be coming back regularly! Highly recommended.

Diner Review №54

This is one of my favorite Thai places around. The food is amazing and the owners are family. A group of us eat here every week and always super satisfied with the quality of meal and the absolute attention to customer service. Is impeccable. I love and appreciate Sophie.💙

Diner Review №55

Very good. The best in the east side

Diner Review №58

Best Thai food in the area owned by a lovely family. My go to for over a decade for food made with love.

Diner Review №59

Good food. Catfish dish was fabulous.
Used gluten free soy sauce, & took time to proof it 👍Understand what gluten free means. Must show your vaccination card, which is much appreciated. Pricing is moderate per dish. My lunch was with appetizers, Thai tea & main dish, so seems pricy but not for 3 itemd

Diner Review №60

I like this place hence this review. I'm not sure what else to say. It is Thai food. If you like Thai food it is likely you will like this place. The lady is nice as well.

Diner Review №61

Delicious noodles. Not overly sauced and plenty of vegetables! Highly recommend!

Diner Review №62

Lovely place with lovely people, I like to dine in and enjoy their good food.

Diner Review №63

What a wonderful little gem. The food was very good (Drunk Noodles and Shrimp Pad Thai) and the ambience was quite homey.

Diner Review №64

This restaurant is a destination for me, specially leaving my house on a 30min drive just for this food almost once a week for over 5 years. Absolutely the most delicious Thai food I’ve ever had in my life, and every single person I’ve ever shared it with has said the same. The owners craft their recipes around health and quality ingredients, but it’s the incredible taste that keeps me coming back!

Recommendation: Pad See Ewe with chicken

Diner Review №65

The best Thai place around here. And it's family owned. I love their tom yum noodle soup and pad thai, but the best is their home made coconut ice cream with black rice pudding!

Diner Review №66

Service oriented, good food, run by an older couple who take care of their patrons.

Diner Review №67

🔥🔥🔥

Diner Review №68

Best drunken noodle

Diner Review №69

Honor their stars! I like to order cashew chicken with 4-5 stars at most Thai restaurants. Order 4 stars the first time if you like it hot.

Diner Review №70

Excellent food and excellent prices. Best Thai food in kirkland.

Diner Review №71

Diner Review №72

I’ve been coming here for the duration of the pandemic and this will be my first choice any time. Always good. Always fresh. Portions are great. Spice level is amazing!

Diner Review №73

Diner Review №74

I ordered the Pad See eW with 5 star spicy for take-out. The flavor and spice was great and the vegetables were fresh. I was happy with the serving sizes and the amount of
Chicken in the dish. They also are taking COVID precautions, if you care about that sort of thing

Diner Review №75

Diner Review №76

Favorite thai by far!

Diner Review №77

Diner Review №78

There was a summer where I picked up takeout from here around once a week. Just ordered takeout again after a long time and was reminded of how great this place is! I absolutely love the chicken pad see ew here! I get this dish at every Thai place I go to and the way they make it here is definitely the best! Large portions with very fresh vegetables and meat make it so you don’t feel heavy and disgusting afterwards, but rather like you got your daily nutrients in. Would recommend :)

Diner Review №79

Phat Thai is great! Try it out!!

Diner Review №80

Tom Yum was relatively good, with expected savory and sour elements. Missing the lemongrass a bit. Cashew Chicken was not good, missing the sweet and sour chili jam and in place was more of a common savory sauce. Menu items list ingredients and food should come with those ingredients. Missing was onion, and added was cabbage and celery. Celery changes this dish substantially. For this reason I always evaluate a Thai restaurant on Cashew Chicken. When filler components not listed on the menu are added, I do not return. Not following the recipe on the menu suggests that proper food care may not be present.

Diner Review №81

Best Pad Thai I've ever had. And I've had a lot of Pad Thai from a lot of different Thai restaurants.

Diner Review №82

Our favorite Thai food!!!!

Diner Review №83

Superb tastes and textures! Everything was delicious. Great service too, esp in Fridays!

Diner Review №84

Good family-run restaurant. Legit Thai flavors, which isn't always the case with how popular Thai is

Diner Review №85

Place is small and cozy. Food is good. No real complaints. Portions are a bit small. No Thai chilis in fish sauce, so that was a bummer. Wooden, disposable chopsticks upon request. No one in our group was overly impressed by the food. Not a replacement for the usual spots we go to, but it's not bad.

Diner Review №86

Either we came on the wrong night, or some of the other reviewers never had good Thai food. Sorry. This was a very disappointing experience. I always try to write about the positives of an experience, but the best I can say is it's a clean and quiet restaurant - because there was no one there. Even the server kept disappearing for long periods of time (but when she came, she was on the phone most of the time - yes, having a long conversation while serving out food).
We had two dishes:
* Bangkok Chowder (described as "Hearty Meat, Vegetables, and egg flour Soup with Cilantro"). I thought it was a typo and should be "egg flower soup", but no.. it was a bland (yet salty) chicken broth, heavily thickened with flour (the main ingredient), with shaves of boiled chicken, about a dozen hair thin slices of carrot (how did they cut it this thin? couldn't even taste it!) and two (2) cilantro leaves. There may have been some egg-whites mixed with the flour - I couldn't tell. My grandmother's Polish chicken broth (before adding vegetables and Sleazeballs) had WAY more flavor than this.
* Panang Curry (described as "Very creamy and spicy dish includes your choice of meat, coconut milk, bell peppers, basil, and lime leaves"). It was in fact a very watery and spicy liquid that contained very few pieces of meat and two (2) slices of red bell pepper - each less than 1/8th of an inch thin!

Horrible food...no longer going to go there anymore,used to be good but last couple of times, awful service and food quality. I ordered pad kee Mao and red curry, red curry did not look red at all, tasted bad as well,no taste or flavor whatsoever.

Diner Review №96

Diner Review №97

Excellent food. My wife and I have visited this fine Thai restaurant twice. On both occasions we have found this establishment to be friendly, clean, and produced very tasty Thai food.

Diner Review №98

Family run business. Service was great, food was delicious and I was so surprised at how small the bill was that I felt compelled to double the tip.

Diner Review №99

Intimate, Family run, complex flavors. Care into each unique dish. Best Thai food I've had! Owners and staff attentive and flexible without being obtrusive. In an unassuming step mall. Go

Just got the pad Thai there today and it was absolutely awful. Tasted like vinegar and noodles. I had to completely re do it and try to make it taste better. I’ve been to a lot of Thai places for pad Thai and this was by far the worst. So if you want pad Thai you might wanna try somewhere else....

Fantastic Thai food and best Mango Sticky rice i have had in years

Diner Review №117

Good food and a nice homey atmosphere!

Diner Review №118

If given the option i wouldnt give them any stars a -2. Who argues with the customer. I work at a fine dinning place. I even tipped for a pick up. And repated my order back. i did a pick up order got Pad Thai and coconut curry the pad thai was ok but not much topping or chicken. But my curry isnt even coconut curry so when i called to say something she wanted to argue with me about what i ordered.

Diner Review №119

Diner Review №120

Very good service, but food was just OK. Drunken noodles were heavy on vegetables and light on noodles, and panang curry was very light flavored. I feel a different noodle dish would probably have made for a better meal.

Diner Review №121

I have eaten here about once a week for the last 3 years. The chef here makes the absolute best Phad See Ew I have ever had. I don't even order anything else, so I can't tell you how good other dishes are. I do know their Phad Thai does not come with green onions, like others do.

The service here is like how you would expect your mother to serve you. Personally, I like it. It feels like home. But it is not for everyone.

If you are seeking 5-star service, you probably need to go to Seattle and pay 3 times as much. You might not be very happy here.

But the quality of food, that the chef prepares, is extraordinary. So it's worth it.

The soup they make is also perfect. Actually, as I am writing this, I am just now craving it. I think I need to head back there tomorrow. :)

Diner Review №122

Nice tasting food. Cup of soup comes before lunch.

Diner Review №123

Diner Review №124

Thumra Thai never disappoints. Excellent service. A terrific Thai neighborhood restaurant. It's almost like visiting your favorite aunt who happens to be a great cook. Never full, it's one of Kirkland best secrets!

Diner Review №125

Delicious Thai Food for all the family. Myself and my wife love the food here. Our kids too. They gobble down the Thai fried rice with aplomb every time. I love the curries and drunken noodle. The pineapple fried rice is delicious also. We've eaten in but usually get takeout. Fantastic option for a lakeside picnic at OO Denny Park. The owners are so friendly. We keep going back for more.

Diner Review №126

Best Thai food I’ve ever had!! The owner is such a sweet lady. Definitely a hidden gem.

Diner Review №127

Not sure what’s going on here, but maybe I caught them on a bad day. Everything is extremely bland and doesn’t seem very fresh. When I tried to talk to them about it I got laughed at. :(

Maybe my trips to Isarn Thai are changing my standards...

UPDATE: They came back with the bill and gave me half off of my order. Updating to 3.

One of my favorite thai restaurants in the city. The food was so tasty and felt home-like. It's surprisingly less expensive and I highly recommend.

Had the chicken and vegetable stew and a salmon curry, both very good. Quiet family style place.

Diner Review №133

Diner Review №134

This has become our go to spot for Thai food. I've ordered something different every time, and it's all been good. The lady that waits the tables is not super friendly or chatty, but she is in no way rude or inattentive. It's always quiet in the restaurant, which I appreciate. Seems like a lot of people get take out here. We've only dined in, but I would highly recommend this place

Diner Review №135

Amazing, authentic Thai foods! We love their Phat See Ew and Khao Soy Chicken. We usually get seafood Tom yum soup.

Diner Review №136

Diner Review №137

Not the best place in Kirkland. Food portions are small and look very bland. I enjoy using chopsticks and they didn’t provide one for me, probably because I’m white. Old lady who works here is kinda rude

Diner Review №138

Diner Review №139

Best thai food in town! Great service

Diner Review №140

It’s hard to mess up spring rolls but this place did. How this place stays in business is amazing. The service needs work. My main course was sub-standard. It’s Thai food how can you mess it up unless this place is ran by people who don’t know Thai food.

Diner Review №141

The real deal when it comes to thai

Diner Review №142

Diner Review №143

The place looked a little bit dull, the flavor was too spicy even when we ordered medium spicy.

I'm not a big fan of sitting in this restaurant but I eat here at least once a week for carry out. It wouldn't be right not go give them five stars.

Diner Review №146

Diner Review №147

Excellent food and service when we visited for dinner and the portions were all nicely sized. Their Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles) was some of the best tasting I’ve had in a while. Will definitely visit again.

Diner Review №148

Ice for soda has very foul taste to it...we had two appetizers both lacked flavor...the shrimp pad thai and chicken Pad Thai both Very greasy and mushy!!.. this place leaves a lot to desire!!.. service was very nice!!

Diner Review №149

Diner Review №150

One of best Thai places. Nice food & good generous quantity for pad Thai and fried rice. My to-go place for Thai take out.

Diner Review №151

It’s a small lovely place with good food. However I think there is a need for more staffs.

Diner Review №152

The food here was great, decent price but the service was awful. If you only want Thai then this is a good choice, but hard to recommend given how many other restaurants with good food are nearby that offer normal service/dining experience.

Diner Review №153

Diner Review №154

Very good Thai food, convenient location! Love their fried rice, which isn't greasy/oily, and the delicious soups. My husband swears by the chicken Phad Seew.

We went for takeout (ordered in person at the restaurant) and had brought our own containers from home. We are actively trying to reduce the use of one-time-use plastics (takeout boxes, plastic utensils, paper napkins, etc., often wrapped in a plastic bag...) and this was an experiment as we weren't too sure the containers would be accepted.

The young woman taking my order had a wide smile and seemed genuinely happy to accept the containers I had brought; she took them to the kitchen and they were promptly filled with our meals (in less than 10 minutes)! :) I was really glad. Only for that, we are even happier to be clients there!

Thank you!!

Diner Review №155

The menu looked great but we’ll never know since we waited long enough and then eventually left without ordering. There was one server, and one other table to serve, yet getting our order in seemed like an impossibility given the pace things were moving at. Don’t waste your time.

Diner Review №156

Diner Review №157

Love getting food from Thurma Thai.

Diner Review №158

Good food and fair prices. You can get that at dozens of Thai places on the Eastside. What they have that is seldom seen in Western WA is genuine hospitality. Family owned and very friendly. Also, they only use wild prawns. They will never serve those nasty fresh water mud shrimp. Really a great little spot.

Diner Review №159

Diner Review №160

Love their drunken noddle! Very flavorful! Serve quickly during the lunch time!

Diner Review №161

A good restaurant for Celiacs and people with gluten allergies. They claim that most of their menu is gluten free and safe, and so far we've found it to be true—after three takeout visits, my wife has had no reaction. The downside is that they don't label their menu, so you have to ask. Nothing we've wanted to order has been unsafe!

I can't comment on the service, since we've not eaten there, but the food we've tried so far has been delicious. We've had the phad thai, phad see ewe, noodle delight, garlic lover's, and mussamun curry, with phad see ewe making the top of the list.

Their website might be a bit out of date, as it says their noodle delight uses wide rice noodles, but they use the standard ones. Prices might be out of date, but that's no reason to give a one star review, in my opinion.

Diner Review №162

This is a great hidden gem, tucked away in the lower level of the Totem Lake shopping area. They serve excellent lunch options and it doesn't take long before they get to know repeat customers. The flavors are great and they are one of the few in the area that will actually serve spicy dishes when requested. Service is not rushed, so plan on spending some time and enjoying your food. And the food is worth spending time to enjoy.

Diner Review №163

Great place for delicious, authentic Thai food. Good service and friendly staff. I highly recommend the Pad Thai!

Awesome place to hang out with friends and family. Food is tasty and good. Especially I love Thai fried rice. I will recommend this place...

Diner Review №166

Very friendly service and good food. One of the best Thai restaurants around the place.

Diner Review №167

One of the nicest and family friendly place to have thai food. Have tried the curry chicken fried rice and the cashew chicken are my favourite here. must try once the pad thai too.

Diner Review №168

A very good Thai place in Kirkland. But usually just one server, so sometimes it is slow.

Diner Review №169

quality and taste are subjective, but you can't dispute charging more than the website price for your meal. There's a reason this place is empty at 6PM. stay away

Diner Review №170

Diner Review №171

The pad Thai is decent, nothing special. Unfortunately it doesn't come with bean sprouts or a lime wedge, but at least it doesn't taste bad. The waitress seemed miserable, like she didn't really want to be there, and spoke without care. Overall, it's the only Thai place in the area that I know of so I guess it's worth a try.

Diner Review №172

Great food and the owner is extremely kind and hospitable.

Really good thai food. I love the yellow curry fried rice here!

Diner Review №182

Excellent food, excellent service. The Thai coconut soup with shrimp was the best I've had in years, and I travel across the nation for a living.

Diner Review №183

Their fried rice is definitely the best I've ever had by a wide margin. I really don't know why I don't come here more often.

I ordered to pick up. Pad thai is awful, it has no color no smell. I called to see if there was some kind of a mistake, the woman that answered got defensive and told me not to come back.

Zero star! I aks for two star and she give me red curry that it's so spice, I was sweating. When I asked she said " she didn't put spice, and that if I wanted it las spice I should have asked for more coconut milk. Then she said there was only one level of spiciness, she asked tô me when I ordered how spice I wanted.
I don't like being lied too, also we waited fifteen minutes before we even got water.
Over all not a good experience.

Based on one visit. I had the (Pad) Kee Mao, and it was different than I'm used to, and generally good. I like spice, had the 1 out of 4, and it was plenty spicy.

The Pad Thai was so/so. The drunken noodle was delicious. I like the fact that the food was spicier than other Thai restaurants, however, I got the regular 1 star for my kids and it was really spicy.
