Diner Review №8

Amazing food with authentic flavors-you can tell they really know the flavor profiles. This is a hidden gem-completely dead and we were the only table. I honestly cannot believe there was nobody here. I am a huge foodie and we came here because we were nearby for a tournament, but I would drive the 45 minutes to come back!

Diner Review №9

This place is amazing and the food is very delicious, grateful to have come across this restaurant!

Diner Review №10

The food was so delicious. We went there at 8:30 and they were able to make out food very fast! We got chicken fried rice, Tom Yum with rice, and Thai donuts! The donuts were 8 pieces for $4 but they were so nice and gave me 10!:) Very generous and kind.

Diner Review №11

Decent Thai place in Lakewood, crab Rangoon was great! Phad Thai was ok, spice level of 3 was perfect but the sauce was a little different. Their service is excellent.

Diner Review №12

This place is a true gem I love the chicken satay, phad Thai is superb. But the Thai tea is something that you have to get. And don't forget the tom yum soup for seafood lovers.

Diner Review №13

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary eating lunch here and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend it 👏

Diner Review №20

So the food is amazing. I've had the chicken cashew and crab delights here several times now. It's an old building so it has the musty smell.. the reason for the atmosphere rating but it is still a warm, pleasant experience dining in. The owners are very nice, serving size is very generous. The food is fresh crisp and well cooked with all the flavor you expect from your favorite dish.

Diner Review №33

The Thai spot I've been searching for! New found favorite!!

Diner Review №34

Thong Thai Restaurant is a real gem! The atmosphere is comfortable, the staff is friendly and fast. The location is easy to find. Most importantly, the food is absolutely delicious!
A couple members of our family have celiac disease, so we're cautious and picky about dining out. This is a trusted place that never disappoints. It's gluten-free made easy. We came here to celebrate two birthdays. This business is family owned and run. Once you experience the food, it will become one of your favorite places, too!

Diner Review №35

My group ate in Thong Thai restaurant when we were on work travel. A receptionist who is also a servant is super nice, cute and friendly. Food here are yummy as well. I recommend you should be here when you're in Lakewood, WA.

Diner Review №36

Great food and exceptional service. Try the appetizer sampler!

Diner Review №37

We love Thong Thai now that it has new owners. The food is authentic and delicious. They’ve cleaned it up pretty good and continue to improve. It’s family run and Jon, Usa and their daughters bring “the Land of Smiles” to Lakewood.

Diner Review №38

This food was delicious. Super flavorful. Fresh. Super kind and quick service. We stopped on the way between Anacortes and Oregon and I highly recommend it to locals and those passing through.

Diner Review №47

Awesome spot for authentic Thai food. It's under new management and they are very friendly.

Diner Review №48

Cute little place. Pretty average Thai food. Pretty Americanized Thai food. The people who own/work are incredibly nice. Overall great experience.

Diner Review №49

You will love the authenticity of the Thai Food served there!

Diner Review №52

Best place in Lakewood for Thai food Its a hidden gem! We eat here often 😋

Diner Review №53

Best Thai food nearby JBLM
Parking will be limited during busy hours

Diner Review №54

Love the silver noodles. Generous potions and low prices including $3 wine and beer.

Diner Review №55

Ok I normally don't get the same thing twice but the panang chicken curry is THAT good!

Diner Review №56

Great food. Dont let the small parking lot, nor the rough interior fool you. Give them a try, you won't regret it.

Diner Review №57

I only get the #26 Spicy Thai Fried Rice. It's good when it's made correctly but it's too inconsistent. One time I got a piece of plastic from a twist top in my food. If you deviate from their menu and ask for no meat, they'll add meat and make a totally different meal which happened to me at least twice. They have a spicy scale from 1 star to 4 star but very often, a 3 star one week will be perfect and the next week a 3 star will inedible because it's so spicy. I don't know how they prepare their food or if the cook tastes the food but quality control is poor. Nice people but don't make any changes to your order and you should be fine.

Diner Review №58

They made my order very spicy but they fixed it with no problem and it was one of the best pad Thai’s I’ve had around here! Great portions, great prices, would absolutely recommend.

Diner Review №59

Authentic Thai food! Great service and fair prices.

Diner Review №60

Pad Thai and red curry w extra sticky rice was absolutely delicious. Crazy cheap and super fast. Server was very kind. Absolutely would visit again. Don’t pass by because of the unassuming aesthetic.

Diner Review №61

Diner Review №62

Great hidden gem off the beat and path

Diner Review №63

The cucumber salad is amazing.

Diner Review №64

Food was good. The eggs rolls and calamari was AMAZING. Service was fast. People are friendly. Place was clean. I'm pretty sure this is the most authentic place I've been to; their noodles are like nothing I ever had, she said they are "fresh noodle". Just tell them to go a little light on the fish sauce, unless you like it strong. Over all very good experience. I will go back if I want this.

Diner Review №65

Diner Review №66

This place never fails with food and taste. If you like Thai give this place a try.

Diner Review №67

Food is always on point, friendly customer service, good value.

Diner Review №68

Diner Review №72

The food is lovely. Service was quick. The 4 on the 1-4 spicy scale is warm enough to warrant the top spot at a place near a military base where people of all walks of life and capsaicin tolerances can come in to order. I'd put this about two notches above Tabasco sauce in terms of heat. The flavor is not skimped on either.

Diner Review №73

Absolutely THE BEST Thai food in Lakewood.. !

Diner Review №74

Diner Review №75

I have been coming here for over ten years. It's truly a dive hole in the wall shady looking place but you would be in awe of the flavor they pack

Diner Review №94

Diner Review №95

Great little Thai restaurant. They do take out and in person right now. We love that they have massuman curry (just one you cannot always find at thai restaurants) and good prices (curries only $10.95). If you're in this area and wanting thai check them out!

Diner Review №96

This place is probably the best Thai food in the area. Amazing food.

Diner Review №97

Diner Review №103

Ordered item I wanted from menu but it turned out that the menu on their website is “10 years out of date” and they didn’t offer it anymore. So I got something else that she suggested.. when I got there the food was double the price of what was shown on their website.

It was broccoli beef.. the broccoli was undercooked and the beef was overcooked and dry. The sauce was thin. I spent 20m just adding stuff to it because it was so lacking. It just wasn’t good and absolutely not worth the exorbitant price they charged. It didn’t even come with rice!

They seemed nice but will not be back and unfortunately felt the need to leave my negative but honest review.

Diner Review №104

Diner Review №105

Pad See Ew was amazing. Authentic Thai food and I warn that the spices are REAL spicy. Delicious and will return.

Diner Review №107

Diner Review №108

Good food and service!

Diner Review №109

Red Curry was authentic and delicious.

Diner Review №110

If you can forgive the bad neighborhood and run down restaurant building once inside you will find the warmest waitstaff and chefs in Lakewood. Everything I've tried here including 4 types of curry, Pad tai, satay with peanut sauce and many other dishes are all delicious, filling and reasonable priced. If you like thai food you should give it a chance... but don't forget to lock your car. Haha

Diner Review №111

Amazing food amazing service!!! 10/10

Diner Review №146

Sadly we loved this place until we found multiple hairs in our dishes. We called to let them know and they unfortunately did not seem too upset about the incident. We will not be returning.

Diner Review №147

Clean and yummy! Pad Thai and yellow curry were both outstanding.

Diner Review №148

I ordered Tom Yum soup. Wow, I liked it!!

Diner Review №149

Primera ves que como ese tipo de comida y lo recomiendo

Diner Review №150

Delicious! Very fresh ingredients; gyouza appetizers, I had a hot and (sour) chicken tomato soup, my brother had chicken pad thai, and the service was lovely!

I asked for very little spice and my soup was perfect. I've been feeling sick all day and the soup helped great as a decongestant (bring tissues...) and made me feel better.

Like a Thailand version of chicken soup that's mildly spicy (but not burn your lips off) with comfortable prices.

Clean with no hygiene issues (I have a very delicate stomach even without the flu). No MSG, just made from scratch with love!

Diner Review №152

Love it

Diner Review №153

Average. Thai restaurant

Diner Review №154

Priced like better places but was pretty mediocre. Nice staff though and they brought out the heater to warm up the dining area

Diner Review №155

Just found this place has new owners will leave five stars until I try it again if the recipes stayed and they cook the same they are great if not too bad.

Diner Review №156

Diner Review №157

New owners. They don't have the touch as the previous owners. Sad!

Diner Review №158

It's an absolutely okay place it's not the greatest Thai food but it's okay it's not the best but it can use a little service it's what you make of it

Diner Review №159

Been here four times within the last month. I’ve ordered the same thing each time I went which was the yellow curry with chicken. The first and second times I went the meal was amazing. For some reason it didn’t have the onions which wasn’t really a deal breaker for me. The chicken was also shredded. The taste was on point for the nation and I was very happy with it. Nice and creamy and full of flavor. The third and fourth times was a very stark difference. The onions were back but that wasn’t the deal breaker. The taste was horrible. The curry was watery. The potatoes and chicken were very bland once bitten into. Seemed that they threw the ingredients together when I ordered it instead of being cooked together. The chicken was also very dry. I couldn’t taste the coconut milk at all. Very disappointing. I think I will not be returning here again due to the inconsistency of their food.

Diner Review №164

Ate on a Saturday evening and we were seated immediately. It is dated, but clean. Both my husband and I had curry, his could've been spicier, but said the flavor was outstanding and probably some of the best curry he's had! Mine was perfect as well. Had it with white rice. We will return. I agree with the other review that the portions are large, not disappointed.

Diner Review №165

Always good food and quick service for to.go orders

Diner Review №166

Just tried this place for first time. Seems pretty authentic. I got take out and food was hot , fresh, and tasty. Portions are large , for about $10. Pahd Thai noodles were a little different than others I have eaten. Food very good and quick service too.

Diner Review №167

Decent food & didn't take long. We got it to go.

Diner Review №168

Fills the craving. Delicious.

Diner Review №191

Great food.

Diner Review №192

The food was mediocre. I had curry. It was made with frozen veggies and I think that the potatoes were recycled from another dish. Not one that had been served and reused although clearly not cooked for a curry dish. The rice was obviously not freshat all. My coworker had fried chicken of some sort. Good flavor she said but chewy. Service was polite but unattentive.. lack-luster to say the least. Place wasn't very clean and in ridiculously poor repair. I won't be giving it a second chance.

Diner Review №193

The food was okay. The prices are low

Diner Review №194

Hard to rate this place just yet there not open at the car across the street right now

Diner Review №195

Love it

Diner Review №196

Big incredibly tasty portions. Very friendly service. Building is a little run down but atmosphere is quiet and pleasant. Definitely comfortable and worth it. I enjoy people who can make it work with duct tape. Respect.

Really though, this is the best Thai place I've ever been. Love it!

Diner Review №197

Not impressed at all. We were the only ones there. Smelled and tasted bad. Thought paad thai would be easy dish... never again. Headed to go eat somewhere else.

Diner Review №198

Diner Review №200

We tried a variety of meals they had to offer and it was very hit an miss. Do not, I repeat do not eat the rice or anything fried from this place. Curry was great, but the fried chicken wings were the worst i ever had
