Great food but my biggest complaint is that when ordering through Uber you barely get any rice

unassuming neighborhood restaurant with world class food! Perfect portion sizes. Tom kha seafood soup, sweet chili chicken salad and fried rice were sooo delicious 😋

The food was really good, loved the smoky taste to the dishes and also they make it in gluten free alternatives. Love it! Got the pad see weu -wide rice noodles with beef, traditional fried rice with pork. Meat was not over dried and was just done perfectly!

Garlic shrimp bites. Possibly the best way I've ever eaten shrimp. Everything else I've ever had here is wonderful. They even have duck.
We love coming here.

Diner Review №11

Great food. I've been coming here for years and the food has always been good if not great. Noodle dishes are great. Thai spicy is a hot spicy without being overpowering and is great if you like spicy dishes. Nice, local mom and pop type of place. If you like Thai food, definitely check it out.

Good food, good service. 0kay atmosphere.

Diner Review №21

Ordered on Uber Eats, decent. Thai Tea was not very good. Pad See Ew was a bit bland, but the coconut shrimp was good. Probably wouldn't order from here again but it wasn't bad for not wanting to cook and ordering delivery.

Diner Review №22

Food was slightly above average. The sticky mango rice was really great tho! Service was average. They could really improve the atmosphere tho. Seemed like all the furniture came out of an old diner it was not great and kinda beat up. I would go back if I was in the area but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

Diner Review №23

I honestly don't know how this restaurant got 4.3 stars. The food is extremely mediocre. I placed a rather large order with a few things to try and it all disappointed. First thing is the restaurant doesn't look like a restaurant it looks like a storage room. Clutter and personal items laying around. Second the kitchen uses a microwave which is probably why it didn't take long for the food to come. Last when we did the get the food home it was not very good. The crispy chicken garlic wasn't crispy at all. The side of noodles we got was a ball of mush. The steamed vegetables were still hard and was hard to eat. We also ordered fried rice with the combination meat. The portion was small and the shrimp smelled very fishy. We actually eneded up picking it all out and throwing it away. The pad thai was decent but it again vegetables were hard and under cooked. I won't spend another 90 dollars here again. If anything I should get some money back for having to pay to eat that food.

I am fortunate to live nearby, and if I did not, it would be worth the distance! Delicious food!

Diner Review №26

I have only ordered Chang Thai through takeout or delivery services but they always deliver their food very deliciously and accurately. They are one of the only Thai restaurants that actually know how to ensure that your spice levels are going to be felt as I always order 4 here and it is always met the spiciness that I desire. I appreciate that they don't just sprinkle red pepper flakes but actually work the spiciness into the dishes as well.

I have ordered their rama noodle, pad kee mao, pad see ew, and pad thai and they have always delivered. I also love that they have a combination of meats that you can add for a bunch of meats (chicken, pork, beef and shrimp). You can tell from the Google reviews that the owner does his best to make your experience good if you tell him about it and I think that really shows his passion and dedication to his restaurant. I hope to one day dine in and will continue supporting them as one of the better restaurants in Washington.

Diner Review №27

The food is always amazing here. It's not crazy busy most of the time. I've had maybe 6 meals here and never had a bad one. If you get a 4 it's spicy.

Diner Review №28

This is the place you would feel a Thai aunty cooks for you and welcomes you as home.

Diner Review №34

One of our favorite place to go!!!! Only Thai place we like!!!!! Love it and they are sooooooo nice !!!!!! Food is AMAZING!!

Diner Review №35

Food looked alright, but i didnt eat it, because when I opened my order at home I found a whole cricket in my food, it was dead already, so it must have fell in when the food was being cooked or hopped in as it was being packed up.

Safe to say I'm never going back here, if you go here make sure to check your food before eating it.

Staff were friendly and the atmosphere was nice though.

Diner Review №36

Excellent food and great staff. Definitely a locals hidden gem for delicious Thai food. Inside is a bit dated but the food and staff more than make up for it. Highly recommend the drunken noodles.

Diner Review №37

Just a hole in the wall place . But if you like spicy Thai food these guys are not afraid to heat it up. 5 star is actually 5 star.

Diner Review №38

Diner Review №39

Make sure to check your togo order for accuracy and the packaging. Probably much better to eat in the restaurant. The food is delicious. Updating my review 1/2024. Added a star. They've changed their to-go boxes to sturdier containers. Orders were accurate and the food was delicious.

Diner Review №40

Nice, quiet place. Seems quite busy for takeout, I dined in and was helped swiftly and courteously. Really kind staff, I absolutely loved my server. I lost the ball on my septum ring and my server had me leave my name and number so she could call me if she found it. She really didn’t have to do that. Luckily I found it, but I tipped her extra because it was just so kind of her to offer.

Diner Review №41

Really great food, authentic flavors and selections. I'm guessing it is family-run, as a polite 10 year old seated us and then proceeded to eat with a few younger children and a woman. We love supporting family run businesses!

Diner Review №42

Diner Review №43

I really like the food but the server named mook is rude. I always get it togo but almost everytime i get it no silverware or chopsticks or napkins. When i asked for it she looked at me with a glare and threw it in my bag. Like does she want me to eat it with my hands?

Diner Review №44

Somehow these people got a hold of my personal data. I paid three in person by debit card. My bank statement shows grubhub whom I've never used in my life. A recurring payment of 14.00 each month through PayPal. I called them they said they would take care of it. I never heard back. Also I ordered Sweet n sour chicken. I received what must be nob Chinese food a watery mix of noodles and chicken chunks. I didn't eat it. I blame myself for not asking before hand. I would not go here.

Diner Review №45

The waton soup was absolutely delicious I would definetly recomend trying it 🤤 also got the appetizer pot stickers there was so much flavor
I've also had their red and green curry and it's amazing!
Edit: 3 years later and I still miss this places curry

Diner Review №46

Started going to this place (take out) about a year ago. Not often, but occasionally. Usually got curry and it's delicious, my only gripe was the teeny tiny amount of rice they would give you with it, but it was whatever. I either ordered extra or made more at home but most recently, there was no rice in the order when I picked up. I mentioned they forgot the rice, and was answered with "we don't give rice with curry." Asked "Since when?" They said they've never included rice with their curry. Excuse me? You're telling me if someone dines in and they order curry, you bring them a bowl of curry with no rice? And second, apparently I've been hallucinating the rice I've been getting with every curry order for the last year. That's just wild to 1) not include rice with curry, and 2) lie about previously doing it. Not great. Looking for a new curry place.

Diner Review №47

Hidden gem. So glad we tried this place. Great service, delicious food, clean (even the walls above the table were not peppered with splatter). We will be back!

Diner Review №48

Diner Review №49

I really liked this place the first time I came, but I have eaten in the restaurant several times and ordered takeout several times since and some aspect of the experience has been disappointing. I have had orders that were wrong delivered to me, like 3 star spicy when I ordered, not spicy. The quality of the ingredients has really gone down hill. Yesterday, we ordered an eggplant dish and there were maybe 6 pieces of eggplant and the rest was green pepper and onions. Sadly, I don't think I will be returning or ordering from here in the future. It's time to find a new thai restaurant. I was willing to forgive them the spotty table service and worn down booths, but inconsistent preparation and lowering their quality of ingredients is not something I can forgive.

Great local spot! Friendly staff, great food.
We support our local people, as well as love the food! Support your local restaurants, avoid the chains and fast food! You get better food, and actually help out local people👍

I have found my new favorite local restaurant. The meals are delicious, the portions generous, the service attentive yet not intrusive, and very reasonably priced. The garlic shrimp appetizer, Chang Thai Special Fried Rice, and Tofu Pad Prik Khing were all perfectly balanced with just the right amount of heat.

Diner Review №55

Requested gluten free which they said they could do. I became sick shortly after eating with typical gluten reactions. For sensitive celiacs—do not recommend.

Diner Review №56

Pleasant service and atmosphere. Tasty food, good portions and reasonably priced.

Diner Review №59

Super quick and friendly service, AND AMAZING AMAZING FOOD!! Their panang curry is 10/10, as well as their tom yum and pad thai. Top 3 best restaurant in Lakewood.

Diner Review №60

The food was delicious I like it so much

Diner Review №61

Recommend the orange chicken. The beef pad thai was just okay and would not order again: the noodles were very soft (overcooked and too soft). The waitress was very cheerful and friendly, always checking on our needs.

Diner Review №62

The customer service is good

Diner Review №63

Diner Review №64

Food was good but the service could be a little better.

Diner Review №65

July 14, i ordered fried calamari...it was very disappointed its not cruchy soooooo saggy.... and also under cooked....

Diner Review №66

Pad Kee Mao was made so oddly - very watery, very spicy (I said 0 spice), very small amount of noodles, chalky eggs and not great tasting vegetables. Just a very odd, honestly gross dish, nothing like typical Pad Kee Maos you'd find. Very sad, I was hungry, had to toss :( Unsure if I just ordered on an unlucky day considering the rest of the great reviews, so might just be my luck.

Diner Review №67

Diner Review №68

If i could give a zero star i would. I ordered Chan thai fried rice? And was absolutely disgusting. I left it there and didn’t eat it. Even the broccoli was horrible. Also it was overpriced. The website says $13 and they charge me $18!! I definitely do not recommend.

Diner Review №69

Delicious food, Fast service and great ambience. The servings were huge! The Garlic Chicken was really good but it was meant to be paired with fried rice. It still tasted amazing with white rice but my husband ordered their Chang Thai Fried rice so I was able to try it and it was DELICIOUS. Overall, it was an amazing experience.

Diner Review №70

Absolutely delicious food. Have had trouble finding a good Thai place in the area and just tried Chang Thai tonight. The food was absolutely delicious, the vegetables were so fresh. I highly recommend eating here. I will definitely be coming back!!

Diner Review №71

Little strip mall, hole in the wall, but best Tai food I've had in this area. Nice portion size, wide range of choices and super friendly, fast service and reasonably priced. My favorites are their Pad Tai, fresh rolls and green curry. Only downside is their decor and atmosphere if dinning in. Overall food quality and value make atmosphere easy to overlook!

Diner Review №72

Diner Review №73

Food was fast and delicious for us(panang curry and pineapple fried rice). Had no issues eating gluten free here. Casual inside.

Diner Review №74

Edit: the foods are great!

Not giving 5 stars because you needed to specify the utensils. Fair enough for most households but not good for the new house which is completely new. The driver didn't have any utensils in the car either.

Diner Review №75

Crispy garlic chicken wasn't very Crispy flavor was ok and spice level 5 isn't very spicy. Red curry was ok. Pad Thai was alright i have had better. Prices were great.

Diner Review №76

Diner Review №77

We returned and left without ordering. They are rated ok for food safety, but there was raw meat on a tray by the bathroom. Gross. I loved my spicy Thai dinner. We got level 4 of 5. It was enough food for two meals. It was spicier on day 2! Yellow curry rice and pad Thai with chicken.

Diner Review №78

They make their phad Thai the way I like it.

Diner Review №79

Ordered 4 meals. Penang Curry and Pad Thai were (as usual) great. But the Orange Chicken wasn't very good at all and the Sweet chili fried rice was missing any of the sweet chili flavor. This is the first time we've been disappointed in 2 years.

Diner Review №80

I lived in Thailand in 2021.
Best Thai food I have found since I returned to the United States

Great food and sweet family.

Diner Review №83

It was good here before 5 day ago and it still is the best place to go to with my family on thanksgiving!

Diner Review №84

Awesome service and great food. 10/10

Diner Review №85

Love Chang Thai! The Golden Bags are absolutely delicious, I’ve gotten several different curries which have all been tasty and flavorful and the fried tofu pad Thai is amazing. Always great friendly service, one of my favorite spots in Lakewood!

Diner Review №86

Delicious! Nice, quiet & friendly.

Diner Review №87

Been coming here since they opened and the quality has decreased
Ordered yellow curry, mixed vegetables and fresh roll. The fresh roll tasted more like 2 day old. The wrapper was hard and lettuce wilted and almost no chicken. The yellow curry sauce tasted good but the potatoes and carrots were crispy and raw. The chicken had a bad taste and the chicken in the mixed veggies tasted horrible. They have always been inconsistent with quality but over tha past 3 month it's been consistently bad.

Diner Review №88

The Penang Curry and Rama Noodle are my favorites. I love the wait staff here, the ladies are all so attentive and welcoming and the food is delicious. I usually pick a 1-2 for heat (yeah, I’m a wimp) and my guys a 3-5. Everyone’s happy eating here! Thank you so much!

Diner Review №89

Me and my family have been eating here for a couple of years now and we absolutley love it. It's been a long time since we dined inside but I'm happy that we did as we won a $10 gift certificate just for ordering 💖 we will be back again!

Diner Review №90

Diner Review №91

Their menu is not updated. They charged me more than the price on the menu. The lady who helped me wasn't friendly and did not apologize about the over charge.

Diner Review №92

Unfortunately our experience was terrible. We did a pick-up order, the food quality was poor. Several appetizer items undercooked, no crab in the golden bags (just cream cheese?), no avocado in the avocado curry, and the sweet and sour sauce tasted off.

Diner Review №93

I have never went to a Asian restaurant where the rice was bad. I got garlic chicken and it was so dry and nasty, I forced myself to eat it. My husband said his fried rice was okay

Diner Review №94

Amazing Thai food!! Takes me straight back to Thailand! In LA there’s a restaurant called Jitlada that made it into Jonathan Gold’s top 100 restaurants, and Chang Thai is just as good.

Diner Review №95

Meh, at best, to not good. Ordered from here twice (to give it another chance), but I shouldn't have. Food is just not good and my husband agrees as well.

Diner Review №96

First time trying this restaurant and was pleasantly surprised. The food was good & the service was good. I had the Chicken Pad Thai and would have it again or maybe try something else.

Diner Review №97

I have been coming here since this restaurant opened and have always enjoyed the food! The service is friendly and helpful!

Diner Review №98

I called to place a order 30 min before this establishment closed, and they did not take my order even though it was to go. They where not super swamped with customers. I think they should update their business hours to reflect they are not doing business within this time frame. The consumer whom invested money into this business was not happy not abling to place a order being what I wanting could have been produced in under 30 minutes.

Diner Review №102

Chang Thai is a little gem inside the Ace Hardware plaza. The food is always delicious and the service is attentive. It is a great location for lunch or dinner, take-out or dine in. A word to the wise- their two-star hot is spicy, three star is extra spicy. My husband got a three star spice added to his entree and I thought “if he is doing three, I’ll do four.” Four is only if you are serious about a serious amount of heat. I eat hot sauces and spicy food regularly, but I found out 4 star spice had me sweating. Work your way slowly up the spice chart!

Diner Review №103

All the food here is delicious. Especially the Yellow Curry. And the customer service is really good.

Diner Review №104

Delicious and reasonably-sized portions.

Diner Review №105

They Didn't get my order right and i called and they didnt offer a refund or nothing just said i had to pay again for something different I really cant stand wa!!!! Just moved here and ready to leave already!!!! Yall need better customer service!!!! Ask for 1 egg roll they gave me 4 and charged me for 4!!!!! Wft Will Never Go Here Again!!!!!!!

Diner Review №106

I have been going here on/off for years & I usually stick with getting the basil fried chicken, fried rice, tom kha soup or pad thai because most places in WA have lackluster stir frys. I wanted something different so I got the Chicken Thunder, if you love ginger this is your dish! It is probably the best Thai dish I have ever had, the chicken is seared, the sauce isn't too thin or thick & is spicy and flavorful without being too salty! (They add rum to it) The veggies are delicious too!

Diner Review №107

Just one

Diner Review №108

Our new favorite Thai food place! So happy we "discovered" Chang Thai Cuisine recently. Ordered the Golden Bags appetizer, Panang Curry, Garlic Chicken, and Thai Ice Tea. The Golden Bags are absolutely delicious!! Wished we'd ordered some to take home. The Panang ( at spice/heat level 1) was perfect! The Garlic Chicken was also amazing. My kid loved the Thai Ice Tea too- took some to go after dining in. Lunch special is a great value!! Restaurant's interior is very clean and decorated beautifully. Waitress very nice and attentive. We will definitely be back!

Diner Review №109

The food is good, people are kind, and service is prompt. Thank you!

Diner Review №110

Ordered through UberEats. It’s annoying that I’m eating a $15 plate of rice with barely any crabs and some carrots and peas. UberEats paid me just $5 back, but please Chang Thai, give the customers what they paid for and follow instructions correctly please.

Diner Review №111

Freaking amzing food, very very cute place, would very much recommend, please stop by

Diner Review №112

The service and food were amazing.

Diner Review №113

Diner Review №114

Ordered beef pad thai online for pick-up. Ordering and parking were convenient. Food was fresh, serving was pretty big, and it tasted great. Will definitely be going again.

Diner Review №115

Everything is great and I have high standards for Thai food. All from scratch here.
Update: Food is still great but I have had pretty bad service here the last few times I visited. They really need to pull it together.

Diner Review №116

Diner Review №117

I read the reviews and wanted to try it out. My experience was not very pleasant at all. First, they forgot our drink and at the end she gave me an attitude when I reminded her. Second, when I went to the restroom, passed by their kitchen, I saw very big unsanitary bucket of chicken breast on the floor, I really wanted to cancel the order but my bf wanted to give it a try. And last the food were not good at all, lack of flavor and don’t look like the pictures at all. So it’s a no for us and will never come back here again.

Diner Review №118

I've been there 4 times now and had different meals each time and all has been very good. Prices are equal to portions. Highly recommend trying this place I don't think you'll be disappointed

Diner Review №119

We decided to stop in here for lunch today and what a great decision it was. The food was excellent. We had the chicken Pad Thai, chicken thunder, fresh spring rolls, crispy spring rolls and the golden bags (aka crab rangoon). Everything was delicious. The chicken thunder was a tad heavy on the ginger but still super yummy. I judge all thai restaurants on their Pad Thai and green curry. Their Pad Thai might be the best I've had in the 253 area code. It was fresh, not too sweet, great tamarind flavor and noodles were cooked perfectly. Prices were very reasonable and the portions I found to be very generous. Even the lunch portions were plenty big. I'm excited to come back and try the curries next time!

Diner Review №120

Ordered from uber and when my food arrived the egg rolls had sauce spilled all over and they were so soggy inside and out that they were not edible. The pad thai was okay

Diner Review №121

Easily the best Thai food in Lakewood!

Diner Review №122

Diner Review №123

What a great meal. All three of us had Pad Thai. We each chose a heat level and all of us were pleased with the results. The dish had sweet heat. The bean sprouts, crushed peanuts, and lime were perfect additions. I had pork and my friend had chicken added. Both were delicious. We will definitely be back. I cannot wait to try more dishes.

Diner Review №125

This be place is not even authentic most of you people dont know good food, food was greasy egg rolls was all Slimy when bit into it , garilic chicken tasted like fish , and on top of that way over priced$$$, fried rice was the wrost i ever had in my life and i love thai fried riceee not this place tho never again no wonder your hidden away from the streeet

Diner Review №126

Diner Review №127

I tried this place on a whim and not only was the mango rice with pork so good my kids actually ate it and liked it! The spring rolls were fresh and didn’t taste gummy. The pad Thai was also good! Highly recommend. Easy to order online as well. And I ordered one order of mango rice and one order of pad Thai and one order of fresh rolls and it fed 4 people.

Diner Review №128

I ordered the Tum Yum Noodle Soup and oh my.. it was so delicious and rich and something about it made me feel so warm and homey. The ambience of this place was so welcoming and calming. Definitely a place I will be coming back to. I loved having me my self care date here 😊

Diner Review №129

Diner Review №130

The food here is top-notch in my opinion. The red curry is excellent! They have a fantastic cook. The lady at the front is very friendly and provides good service, the prices are reasonable enough in my opinion too.

Diner Review №131

Diner Review №132

My favorite Thai place! Local neighborhood place, that improves each time I visit. Great food, friendly staff and great customer service!

Diner Review №133

Fantastic food at a decent price and was ready by the time I got there. My husband got the F3 Crispy Garlic Chicken which was phenomenal, my mom got the C1 Red Curry which she said was amazing, and I got the F5 Garlic Garlic (with extra garlic) and pork, it wasn't bad but it wasn't my favorite. Lots of veggies, was hoping for more whole garlic, the pork was good but I liked my husband's chicken better. The A1 Crispy Egg Rolls were really really good, and the A2 Golden Bags were probably my favorite thing that I tried - absolutely mouth-watering.

Diner Review №134

Best Thai food In Lakewood/Tacoma area! The food is phenomenal and at an amazing price. I always make the 30 minute trip to get food from this heavenly place. The pad Thai will leave you in a state of coma!

Diner Review №135

Diner Review №136

This is not only authentic Thai eating but the service is top notch. They make you feel like family and genuinely care about your dining experience. The menu has a multitude of splendid dishes and Thai beverages. If I could eat here every day of the week I would! Love these people❤
Also, you tell me of a restaurant business that is so appreciative of your business that they give you an unimaginable Christmas treat.🥰

Diner Review №145

Wow, amazed to find a delicious and healthy Thai restaurant in my new neighborhood! Really appreciate that they cater to gluten free and vegan diets. I miss the flavor of Thailand after traveling there pre-COVID, and am thankful Chang Thai can help quench my cravings for authentic Thai cuisine.

Diner Review №146

Friendly and very good food. Yes prices are right.

Diner Review №147

Best Thai food I've ever had, hands down. Attentive, friendly service, excellent prices. Appetizer combo was more than enough for 3 of us. Every item was fresh and tasty. Pad Thai had a lovely, complex flavor. Crispy Garlic Chicken was great with its crispy basil and fresh bell peppers. Huge serving! Can't wait to try other dishes.

Diner Review №148

This is my favorite Thai restaurant. The food is always amazingly good. I wonder why this restaurant isn't crowded at lunchtime and dinner. Check it out if you haven't been here before. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

Diner Review №149

Pad Thai was very good. However, I paid three dollars extra for shrimp and got three very small shrimp. Won’t do that again!

Diner Review №150

Small Thai restaurant, great food!

تجربه رائعه جدا والزبائن متعاونون

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! We ordered a few dishes, and everything was superb! My personal favorite was the eggplant dish; fantastic! We are looking forward to our next visit!

Diner Review №153

Diner Review №154

I don't like giving bad reviews but.. Pad Thai shouldn't taste like it's made with a sugary Chinese sweet and sour sauce. Where's the tamarind and peanut butter? Noodles has the texture of jelly noodles.

2 stars for the pad Thai, but there are probably better menu items.
Presentation was good and I'm sure they use fresh ingredients, taste is off unfortunately.

(Try this: tamarind, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, siracha, peanut butter, and fish sauce!! Adding those ingredients immediately makes this 5stars)

Diner Review №160

Poor quality food. Tasted unauthentic and way over priced. Never will return here.

As a reply to contacting Manager. I don't make reviews only for one visit. Every visit I have had there. I am disappointed in what I ordered.

Diner Review №161

Quality has gone down significantly.

Diner Review №162

Amazing place! Friendly service, wait times werent long and great seating with great decor. Definitely a regular to go to. Many Vegan-Friendly options (which is very important up to date) *spice levels on food are actually accurate to chart!*

Diner Review №164

Amazing nice service!!
Food was delicious!!

Diner Review №165

They can not accommodate 8 people without reservations.

Diner Review №166

Waitress was great, food not so much. I got the crispy garlic chicken and less than half of it was edible. The chicken was cold, dried out and rubbery. The 2 star spice was pretty spicy, so if you don't like spicy foods than definitely get a 1. It didn't have basil on it, and it had a few hidden chunks of tofu - which I'm glad I'm not allergic to it.

Diner Review №167

Food quality varies. Ordered Chang thai fried rice with no onions for pickup, got home and realized they didn't put any shrimp in the fried rice and there was bunch of onions.

Diner Review №168

Amazing place! Placed an order for a takeout and everything was cooked promptly! We had pad Thai with shrimp 10/10 best pad Thai I had, pineapple curry fried rice with tofu 7/10 a little dry for my taste, Tom Kha with chicken 8/10 delicious broth but didn’t like the type of mushrooms used there. But overall a great Thai food experience, highly recommend to try 🙌

Diner Review №172

I actually place an order twice in this restaurant , the first one is kinda nanh.how could they mess up a pad thai , cause the first time I order it is almost closing time , but the second time is unforgiven,.i spend over $54 and it taste so horrible and I order on a dinner menu so my expectations are a little more of a portion but it ia not ..
I want my money back !!!
Do not go there
The servers are rude

Diner Review №173

They really do need more people working there the girl in the front I was blessed her heart and soul, she work hard and name was Kate, we didn’t really talk much cause she was running around the restaurant doing everything when’s nobodys helping her at all so were has to leave the table instead of dine in & taking Togo. Disappointed cause we really wanted to sit down and eat but it was took so long so and food was ok! I don’t know if I should come back here!!

Diner Review №174

Spicy and fresh

Diner Review №175

This restaurant was not only delicious, but friendly! We ordered pot stickers, green curry, pad thai, and golden ayotaya! Everything was perfectly cooked and SO good!!!!
Service was amazing and quick and we will certainly be back!!

Diner Review №176

The most overpriced subpar meal I’ve ever had. Soggy (ordered CRISPY garlic chicken) and cold. Will never eat here again.

My family and I have been to this restaurant quite a bit. Never really had an issue. We went this evening and it was not a good experience at all. First off it was extremely warm in the restaurant. They had the heat blasting. I have a thermometer on my key ring and it read 82 degrees..It made it very uncomfortable to be inside the restaurant. There was one server/waitress on a Friday evening. Not sure why nobody else was helping her. Bless her heart she was trying her best but she could not keep up at all with the amount of people in the restaurant and ordering food to go. The line was almost out the door the entire time we were there. Next I ordered a 2/4 which is a medium on the spiciness scale they use, which is what I have ordered everytime that I eat there. My food was so hot I could not eat more than 3 bites. I had my wife try to see if maybe I was just exaggerating, she had to spit it out it was so spicy. I sat there for about 30 minutes unable to eat before the waitress brought the check. I explained the issue with the food and she said maybe next time I not order the medium. I was a little taken back as this is what I order everytime. I really hope that this was just a fluke/off night for the restaurant as I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. But I dont think this will be in the top of our list of places to eat anymore.

YUMMMM! My favorite is the pad see ew noodles. And my husband’s is the sweet sausage friend rice! And for appetizers the golden bags are so delicious!

Diner Review №181

Staff was friendly. Food wasn’t that good. Overpriced for small portions like 5 pieces of duck covered with cabbage.

Love the rice dishes

Diner Review №183

This is honestly the freshest, most perfectly cooked food I’ve had in such a long time. This is definitely my go to for all Thai food. Haven’t been to another Thai place that even comes close. I’d give them a 6th star if I could.

Best pad kee mao (drunken noodles) and fried rice in the city! I usually get it 4 star spicy.

This place is one of the best Thai food restaurants in the area. Their establishment is clean, the staff is nice and friendly, and their 1-star truly is a 1-star, for wimps like me 😆 I had the crispy garlic chicken and I loved it all the way to the end. Definitely will be coming here again. I forgot to take a photo before devouring it because it just looked so damn delicious.

Great delicious food. I had chicken satay, crispy garlic chicken and sausage fried rice. A little expensive for the portion sizes, but no complaints. I want to try the regular fried rice too.

Easily my favorite Thai restaurant in the Tacoma area. I stopped in this evening and tried something new based on the owner’s recommendation; Tom. He presented me with the most delicious Chicken & Avocado curry. I’m not usually a fan of curry, but this one was the best I have ever had at a Thai restaurant. Big pieces of chicken balanced by smooth avocado. This business is without a doubt worthy of your support during these tough times. The food is great, and the staff is top notch. I will definitely return the next time I visit the area!

Consistently reliable food at a good price with good service. If I could detect saffron and I’ll get five stars

Diner Review №193

The food was good but the 45 minute way time was to much for me. I would come here again but definitely calling ahead next time.

Diner Review №194

Very good food! I love ordering the golden bags and the golden cashew. Yum!!

Diner Review №195

The orange chicken was good, just could use a little more sauce

Diner Review №196

We had been very happy with this restaurant in the past. Dropped by tonight for take out dinner. Ordered dinner for four plus the crispy roll appetizers and Thai iced coffee and Thai cocoa. Ordered online from their website. Received a call from the restaurant that they were out of the cocoa, I advised that it was ok, just remove it from the order. When we walked into the restaurant, the modern R&B music was really loud - tough to hear or speak with the cashier over the music. They didn't take the cocoa off the bill (4.95) because they couldn't remove it from the online order, so we had to substitute for Thai iced tea.

The food was overall ok - the pad kee mao was good, and my daughter's red curry was also reported to be good. My wife's beef salad was ordered as a 0 on the spice scale, but was spicy to the point she couldn't eat it. Very mixed bag tonight.

The food here is soooo tasty!!!! What a great find.

Diner Review №198

Definitely the best Pad Thai food in the area. Better than Lemongrass for sure. The Thai fried Rice was also delicious!! 10/10 would recommend.
