Amazing ❤️‍🔥 great flavors, cooked to perfection, outstanding customer service. I will be back 😊

Diner Review №2

Got the chicken pad see ew, pork fried rice, curry chicken, tom yum soup, and thai tea! Loved every single dish. The curry chicken was more like teriyaki, but we still enjoyed it. Ambience was great and everyone there was really sweet.

Diner Review №3

Big portions! Delicious food, nice service!

Diner Review №4

Absolutely fantastic food and fresh ingredients. Restaurant is clean and well decorated. This lady cooks from the heart and its shows.

Diner Review №5

We love this place! The staff is always friendly, the portions are great and prices are very fair

Diner Review №6

We absolutely love this Thai restaurant! The food is always incredible, and we’ve tried everything on the menu—including the new items. Every dish is fresh, flavorful, and consistently spot on. It’s clear they take pride in what they do, and we always leave satisfied. The flavors are always on point, whether it’s a classic favorite or something new. If there’s one thing I’d love to see improved, it would be the customer service. A little more warmth and professionalism at the counter and over the phone would make this spot perfect! Still, we’ll continue to be loyal customers because the food is truly unmatched. Highly recommend!

Diner Review №7

First time customer. Food is good but one of my orders was made incorrectly. I ordered a 3 star spice pad Thai and it tastes like a 5 star. We ordered other dishes (2 star and 3 star) and they were not nearly as spicy as the 3 star pad Thai. It was disappointing since we do not live close by and Its a bit too spicy for us to eat.

Diner Review №8

A cute Thai restaurant in Lynnwood. Plenty of parking.

I love their chicken satay and Mussaman Neua, yummy! The curry has a rich taste, good with rice. BBQ chicken is awesome!

You can choose the level of spicy. 2 or 3 is good. 4 is really spicy 🥵

Fried calamari smells fishy, some people may like it, but I’m just okay with that smell. I also tried pad see iew, but I feel it’s too salty. For the dessert, I tried the black rice pudding, it’s good, but a little sweet.

Diner Review №9

The duck curry was delicious, but did not realize how much more expensive it was than the other curries. Feels a bit overpriced, probably won't order it again.

Diner Review №10

My last order was at 3:30 pm with pickup at 4 pm...not a busy time in the dining room. I've been a customer for a few years, the food is consistently good, but experiences have become consistently objectionable...I won't be returning:

1) I called in, ordered 3 items and was charged for 4. I specifically said "no rice," at least twice during ordering - to ensure it was understood.

2a) I paid $15 plus tax per item for take-out, not $13 per item plus tax for eat-in. The price difference is substantial...and the restaurant's payment system still asked me to pay a tip!

2b) The restaurant admits it charges MORE per item for ALL PICK-UP ORDERS...however, I am NOT Grub Hub nor Uber Eats, I am first-party customer self-ordering by phone AND picking up IN PERSON! There's NO excuse for charging me $2 more per item...

2c) As a direct to-go pickup customer, the restaurant's saving on overhead because there's no table to serve, no checking the table, no cleaning the table, no cleaning dishes...yet a tip is sought nonetheless.

3a) When calling in, the phone line is consistently scratchy and the kitchen too close/noisy for conversation. Maybe a headset would help or not taking calls so close to the kitchen.

3b) Phone staff are consistently impatient and typically must yell to be heard...so the caller must, too. This yelling into the phone is unpleasant...including when visiting or eating in-house. Who wants to overhear stressful conversations?

Hum....

Best Thai food ever!

Diner Review №12

I’ve been going here for almost a year now, best Thai food in lynnwood hands down! Always consistent and the best pad Thai / pad see ew I’ve had in a while

Diner Review №13

Great food, definitely authentic gave my wife 'mom made food' taste! Personally, loved the meal and level 5 spicy is the perfect taste if you're used to spicy food. Definitely would recommend! 🔥🔥🔥

Diner Review №21

Highly recommended Thai food! It's the best I've had in years. The tofu pad Thai and tofu green curry was cooked to perfection. The hot green tea was also nice and served aesthetically. I also tasted my brother's peanut and chicken dish which was a great dish if you like Thai peanut sauce. A great stop for lunch or dinner.

Diner Review №22

Asked the waiter what's the intended spice level of the dish, and they said that it is normally spicy but that I should have it less spicy, despite assuring them I can handle spice. They insisted politely so I had the less spicy version, whoch was barely spicy at all. Treatment was presumptuous and discriminatory. The food is tasty, but I am unlikely to come back.

Diner Review №23

Took a little while to get a menu and place my order, but the food did arrive quickly after I ordered. The Chicken Satay was not as good as I would have expected given the great reviews I have heard of this place, but the Yellow Curry Fried Rice was amazing!

Diner Review №24

I have yet to try something that isn’t amazing!!! I would drive 2 hours to eat here.

Diner Review №25

Food tastes good, portions are small.

Diner Review №26

We were craving Thai food and stumbled upon this restaurant on Uber Eats. Very impressed with their green curry and the tofu fried rice. The flavours were lovely and the ingredients fresh! The quantity is good enough for 3 people. As mentioned by the others, their curries donot come with complimentary rice so make sure you order it on the side.

Would love to return sometime again to try out the other dishes.

Diner Review №27

Very good Thai food. Each dish was prepared elegantly and the taste was impeccable.

Very good portion size and prices are more than fair.

Staff is friendly and sharp.

If you want a quick Thai bite go here!

Diner Review №30

One of my favorite places to eat in Lynnwood, my go to is the eggplant 🍆 with chicken with brown rice. They also do a fantastic curries.

Diner Review №31

This restaurant checks all the boxes. If you want variety and an honest conversation about how hot (or mild) you would like your dish, this is the place! We will return.

Diner Review №32

Wow - delicious!! We ordered the yellow curry and spicy noodles - flavours were incredible. 100% would recommend.

Diner Review №33

Soup was way too sweet

Diner Review №34

Food quantity and quality has gone down. Got burnt pad thai and burnt meat and tastes like burnt oil also. Plus no wheelchair access. I had ordered multiple items. Pad thai was the worse this time.

Diner Review №35

Wow, this might be the best Thai food I've ever had and I've visited Thailand 3x. The restaurant is located in an unassuming strip mall. It's very clean with natural lighting and nice decor. I ordered the pad Kee mao chicken. It was perfectly seasoned. Vegetables were crisp. Everything tasted very fresh. Prices were very reasonable. I thoroughly enjoyed this place and I'll be back at my next opportunity! 100% recommend.

Diner Review №36

We ordered pad ke mao and yellow curry fried rice. Both were delicious! Quick and efficient service, clean restaurant. Definitely recommend!

Diner Review №37

Owner is very friendly and the food is very fresh!

Diner Review №38

This is one of my favorite Thai restaurants in the Greater Seattle/Snohomish County area. With a gluten allergy and being vegan, it can be hard to find the right spot to eat safely. The owner, Gai, and her staff always delivers and provides gluten free options for me to enjoy vegan and gluten free fried rice options. I love to support small, woman business owners and she is no exception. She is a hard worker and truly loves providing delicious food to others. She is one of my staple restaurants to go to and never has disappointed me. I have been frequenting her restaurant since the day it opened a few years ago, as well as her prior restaurant (prior to her selling it to another owner) in Factoria/Bellevue area.

Diner Review №39

Diner Review №40

After being in this area for a year and 10+ thai restaurants later, this is pur favorite for the Thai basics. Spicy noodles, egg plant, shrimp and green beans, and pad see ew are all fabulous. We drive past several other Thai restaurants to eat here.

Diner Review №41

So... I'm staying in Seattle for business for several weeks and thus need to visit restaurants every day. Being a Thai and Asian food lover I've tried them all Lynnwood and around :-)
I must say, food wise, this might the best one yet.
However, whilst the website states that they are open until 21:00h, they were reluctant to let me in at 20:15h. Several people walked in after me and were refused on a not so polite manner. One even got shouted at.
Customers in front of me needed something, and the owner saw them calling her, looked at them, rolled with her eyes and left without saying anything. This led to a discussion between the customer and owner without her offering appologies.
To me, I didn't got a 'enjoy your meal', nor a 'bye' or any other personal interaction. Didn't feel welcome at all. Actually, I was about to appologies for being there...
You might hope that she had just bad day (hey, it can happen to anyone), but reading the reviews this seems to be reoccurring regularly...

Diner Review №42

This food immediately takes me back to Thailand, more than most Thai restaurants in America.

Diner Review №46

Excellent Thai food. I'm extremely pleased with the flavors. I added prawns to my noodles, and they are huge. Had the Tom Yum soup and the chef used her recipe that makes this soup the best I've ever had.

Everything I've had here has a little twist on dishes you'll find in most Thai restaurants, but this chef is super talented!

Feels clean and is simple decor in a small strip mall space.

Diner Review №47

Excellent quality and flavorful food! Really appreciate the cleanliness of the restaurant, decor and ambiance. Will be back!

Tried the beef steak salad and phad phrik king

Diner Review №48

4th time here, always GREAT! Some of the best Thai I’ve ever had.

Diner Review №49

My wife had the cashew chicken with Jasmine Rice and I had the Yellow curry fried rice (Pork) the food was amazing and the portions were more than either of us could finish. Both of us loved the experience.

Diner Review №50

Food was amazing. Highly recommend for food only. Server was very rude.

Diner Review №51

“I recently picked up a package from this restaurant and had a disappointing encounter with the receptionist, particularly the woman wearing glasses. Despite my polite greetings, she ignored me and didn’t acknowledge my gratitude when I thanked her. Her lack of basic courtesy made the experience unpleasant. I hope the staff can improve their customer service in the future.

Diner Review №52

Best pad thai I've ever had. Mussaman curry was great (very dense) and the thai tea was also excellent. Really impressed that this place is just in a random strip mall in Alderwood.

Diner Review №53

Haven’t had Thai food in a while and we were craving it! My husband found this place on google maps and the pictures and reviews looked good so we stopped in for lunch today. We had the chai iced tea, I had steak pad Thai. My husband had chicken pad Thai, and my friend had the one with the tomato’s (name is escaping me). We all tried a bite or two of each others food. Everything was absolutely delicious and the woman was really nice! The restaurant was cozy and clean and the food all came out pretty fast. They easily had one of the best chai teas I have had thus far!
If you like Thai food and want a quick and tasty place to eat. Eat here!

Diner Review №54

Diner Review №55

Best Thai in Lynnwood. Very authentic Yum Neua Yang(Spicy Beef Salad). Flavors and spice are perfect. Meat and veggie quality and cook were great.

Diner Review №56

Diner Review №57

Excellent!

Diner Review №58

This place has fresh food and clean kitchen.
I watched the kitchen crew and they were really serious about serving the food. The place is clean and they are proud.
The food is cooked properly with the right flavor and the ingredients. I will definitely go back 👍

Diner Review №59

The lady gave me really old and dry rice. When I asked for 4 star spice there was actually no spice. She is very rude! She didn’t even apologize when we told her the rice is very old. She just switched it. I will never go here again! I’m just hoping I won’t have food poisoning tonight.

Diner Review №60

Good portion for lunch. The spices is right on the chart. Tom Yum looks light but packs with flavor and spice.

Diner Review №61

Best thai restaurant I’ve been to. Pad thai is the best I’ve tasted and the curry rice is amazing. Staff are super nice and accommodating. Love the atmosphere and how parties over 6 get a discount 💗

Diner Review №62

Ignored by one of the servers. I entered the restaurant and she saw me and ignored me instead of telling me where to sit.

I had to grab my own menu and sit down anywhere. No water or anything was brought to me by her.

Minutes later, another server came out and gave me water.

Worst service ever. However, she didn't treat the same to some people who came after me. Racism? Perhaps.

Definitely not coming again.

Diner Review №63

Went here a second time after a while and had a wonderful lunch. The food, and the vibe were simple and nice. Sometimes, that’s what you are really craving, light and clean flavors and a comfy vibe.

Diner Review №64

I love that the dishes tasted like home cooked meals, however, the portions are not very satisfying for an average price of 15USD. Maybe because of the type of dishes that we got. on the other hand, the place has good ambience, cozy, small, not extravagant but it was clean and the server was friendly while the rest were so busy cooking in the kitchen.

Diner Review №65

Americanize thai foods 😋

Diner Review №66

Diner Review №67

The food are delicious

Diner Review №68

Love their pineapple fried rice.

Diner Review №69

Diner Review №70

First and foremost the service sucks. The lady server we had was rude, entitled, short worded, and infective as a server. Why are we asking multiple times for common items, no water refills, and a major lack of common courtesy. She also ignored a guy asking for something while she was 2 feet away (we heard him on the opposite side of the restaurant)...if I knew we were going to be disrespected we would have just ate at home. Treat your customers better, it appears to be a common issue on the reviews.

I'm starting to question why people are raving about the food? No disrespect, but have they ever had good Thai food? Was it awful? Eh, maybe not awful...but 5 stars? For what?

My pad see ew was not good. Rather a disappointment considering how easy it is to sear some slices of beef...but instead I got chunks of dry bottom round? As soon as it arrived I could see it was overcooked...the noodles had basically no sauce or wet texture as it should. It was weird...i don't think I've had phad see ew like this before. Curry dish was okay.

Portions are pretty small and inconsistent. We bought 2 dishes very identical at $15/each and one was clearly bigger. Bummer, I was still hungry.

Wouldn't even think of coming back again due to service alone, get it together. Treat everyone with respect.

Ending it on a positive note - Cool roosters interior decoration.

Food* 2/5
Service* -2/5
Rooster decorations* 4/5

The food is beautiful and tasty. The presentation and flavors do not disappoint. The seating area is well lit. The service is quick, courteous, and responsive. Vegetarian options are plentiful. Parking is free and plentiful too. Lovely date night dinner.

Diner Review №74

Will I come here again, the answer is yes. I got the pad see ew with pork and my husband ordered the paneng neua (curry) with beef which came with rice! The food came out fast, it was cooked to perfection and I couldn't help myself to finish it all. It's also next to the mall which makes it convenient for hungry shoppers.

Diner Review №75

I ordered four dishes here last week. The dishes were pad Thai, shrimp and pineapple curry, chicken satay, sweet and sour chicken, and brown rice. This is the best Thai food I’ve had in the WA area and I came from the DC area where the Thai food is beyond amazing. My bar for Thai food is very high. I’ve lived in the WA area almost 9 years and have not found anything comparable to East coast Thai food. This restaurant is equivalent to East coast delicious Thai food! I highly recommend going to this restaurant!

Diner Review №76

Diner Review №77

Great and relatively authentic Thai food at reasonable price. 10/10 would recommend and will be back.

Diner Review №78

Everything we ate was freaking delicious! Don't hesitate to enjoy some food from them.

Diner Review №79

Don’t even second guess about visiting this restaurant. The food is immaculate, the service is even better. I’ve been here 5+ times and everything is always amazing and the food is fresh. Eat at Charm Gai.

Diner Review №80

Diner Review №81

Stopped here on our way north! The Pad Thai with Tofu was amazing, as was the BBQ chicken. Flavors are subtle, delicious as well as excellent across both dishes. Service was wonder and they were very nice .

Diner Review №82

No photos due to take out but this place is authentic and consistent each time! Portion is huge 😋

Recommend: the ultra fresh and well marinated eggplant stir fry dish in their secret sauce! Rarely a place did eggplant its justice like Charm Gai.
Emerald seafood fried rice taste is on point!
And the tom yum noodle soup option here is my top 2 go to places.
Spice level is your Asian scale and not like Americanized scales.

Diner Review №83

Everything we ordered was hot, fresh and flavorful. Some of the best tasting Thai food I have had in a very long time. We don’t get out this way often, but when we do I will definitely head back. Yum! Server was also so sweet.

Diner Review №84

Quaint little place that we went for lunch. Service was courteous and prompt. Food was tasty and fresh. Looks like a lunch hangout for many of the local businesses around - which is an automatic validation of the place. Would 100% recommend.

Diner Review №85

Pad see ew is extremely bad. The normal pad see ew should have broccoli, carrots, egg and selected protein, but this one only has broccoli and selected protein. The flavor is not authentic, it’s just noodle with soy sauce

Diner Review №86

I will say the food here is tasty and solid. There is something I want to point out about the service though. There is a lady that normally serves and takes orders here, she makes it very very very obvious that she does not favor other Asian customers. She does treat western customers much differently, and she might be assuming that Asian customers might not tip as much as western customers and this is why she treats us the way she does every time we come here. She is not nice to us, and she does not hide it. She needs to be careful.

Diner Review №87

Diner Review №88

The best authentic Thai food I’ve had. My family has Thai heritage and it’s the best Thai food we have had in the area! We love it!!

Diner Review №89

Came here for a dinner on a rainy Tuesday. Had Tom yum soup, garlic shrimp, and bbq chicken (minions meat). So delicious! Super fast and good service too.

Diner Review №90

We were looking for a highly rated Thai restaurant and Charm Gai definitely lived up to the high ratings. The service was prompt and hospitable and then the food came out. We almost licked our plates it was soo good. The restaurant is a small quant place that was clean and well taken care of. We'll be back for sure.

Diner Review №91

Diner Review №92

The food here is solid. Portions are good, the food is not under cooked or over cooked. The basil is very fresh and comes out well in the dish. The hot tea is served loose in a kettle; the proper way. They're the first place I've seen chill their chili sauce, as opposed to leaving it out at room temperature. It's more flavorful when chilled. The place was almost packed when I got there and filled up completely when my food arrived. Everything is priced correctly as well, not under selling and not price gouging. All around solid. Give it a try.

Diner Review №93

I have been coming here for about a year now, and the food has only gotten better.

Strongly recommend the massuman curry and the minion meat.

Fantastic little restaurant.

Diner Review №94

Diner Review №95

Diner Review №96

Bomb!

Diner Review №97

I think this has to be the best Thai curry I have ever had. I have a whole plate and feel like I can fit a whole second plate in my belly.

My wife & I are new regulars. We will make it a priority to get there by 8pm because around 805pm is when they start their closing for the night.

The food is so good! The staff are so amazing and polite. They use the freshest vegetables. The ice/ water is the best I've had. I was craving their water the other night, which made me crave the whole dish for a second day in a row.

Come to think of it, I'll be eating here as much as I can.

If I could rate this place higher, I would.

Diner Review №98

Decided to try this thai restaurant as it was close from the mall and the review from others seemed convincing. They were not dissapointing! Came around 5pm, so not busy at all. The host immediately greeted and sat us down with water and menu. We ordered pad kee mao with chicken and phad talay. Both spicy 5 stars as we are fans of spicy food. They definitely deliver cos it was spicy yet it's still very flavorful. They are also not skimpy with the ingredients, what I mean with this is that some other places you can count the amount of shrimp or squid or chicken or onion or bell pepper. They were generous enough to feed 2 people. Place was super clean and welcoming! Definitely recommend and will come back to maybe try other dishes, although the dishes we ordered were amazing!

Diner Review №99

One of the better Thai restaurants in the area. Ordered take out while passing through town, it’s a bit far from our neighborhood otherwise it would be my new go-to spot.

Diner Review №100

Diner Review №101

If I could add more STARS I would! Best restaurant in Lynnwood, IMO. Authentic Thai cuisine, generous servings, and the freshest ingredients.

Phad Thai, Phad Kee Mao, Thai Fried Rice, Phad Pirk King, are just a few of my favorites... Everything is truly delicious! ENJOY!

Diner Review №102

Still serving amazing Thai food next to Alderwood Mall. Classy looking, clean casual Thai restaurant. The staff is friendly and the chefs consistently cook great food with all the layers of flavoring you expect from Thai food. Highly recommend!

Diner Review №103

Small and simple place with great food and customer service!

Diner Review №104

Overall the food was so so. We had the spicy noodles, aubergine and spring roll dishes. Out of all three dishes the spring roll was up to par. The biggest complaint about the other dishes was the amount oil, sugar and corn starch they add to their sources and dishes which over powered the actual taste of the food. The actual flavor and taste of Thai basil is strong and fragrant however sauces really take away from the enjoyment of the dish. The staff was kind and worked hard to get the dishes out on time

Diner Review №105

We ordered beef salad and pad see ew and the food tasted amazing. But, the service was a bit slow and we ended up waiting about 35 minutes for food. The restaurant was busy, so I’ll cut them a little slack, but it seemed quite a bit slower than expected.

Diner Review №106

Place is very clean, staff are super friendly and the food is absolutely delicious and spicy!
Big portions for the price

Diner Review №107

A very cute and tasty Thai restaurant in the central area of the Alderwood area in Lynnwood. They serve all the classic Thai food from noodles to rice dishes and curries to grilled items. The presentation of the food is on point too. I love coming here for the pad Thai and sauted fresh eggplant. Perfect to get your own entree or share with the family and friends.

Food
I came with my family and we got a couple of dishes to share. The chicken pad Thai was delicious. I don't like it when the pad Thai is saturated in sauce but they do not do it here. There was plenty of chicken and it was not dry. The pad see ew is also a great choice as well.
The minions meat is a Gai special that is recommended and I would recommend it as well. It's a chicken marinated in spices and the sauce that comes with it is interesting as well.
We also got the sauted fresh eggplant and the garlic prawns. I loved how they give so much vegetables with these dishes and let it balance out there entire meal. I wish there was a little bit more shrimp though.

Atmosphere
Casual place to grab some lunch or dinner with any sized party. The decorations inside are cute. I love the tables and chairs since they add some charm to the whole place!

Pricing
Average prices for Thai food and I really think it's a good deal for the food that you get.

Service
Service was good and the staff are friendly!

Other
Packing in front since the restaurant is part of a strip mall right next to the Alderwood mall.

The best Pad Thai in town, Tom Yum noodle, Minions Meat (BBQ Chicken), and the 🥭 Mango sticky rice. Simple, nice, and clean restaurant. Good stuff spake itself 👌

Cute little shop where the food always tastes good!

Diner Review №114

Diner Review №115

The food was so tasty and cut to right pieces. The food isn't too oily and the portion ratio of vegetables/meat to the noodles was 50:50 which is how I like it. The char was done perfectly and the server was so hospitable. This is definitely a local restaurant I'd come back comfortably to support. Menu isn't complicated and can suit people wanting just the desserts or appetizers. Its convenient location by the Hmart plaza is a bonus.

Diner Review №116

My favourite Thai restaurant with good taste , quality & quantity. Prices are affordable and good service also!

Diner Review №117

My dad is a picky vegetarian but loves this place.

Diner Review №119

Diner Review №120

Using the website setup by the Restaurant, and after delivery was not completed. Reached out to the Delivery provider and the T&Cs clearly specify that the Merchant (in this case Charm Gai), should decide next steps for Refunds. The restaurant ended up cleaning its hands saying that Delivery was at fault and they were doing us a favor to even give them a call.
If you like the food (which is good btw) go to the restaurant - DO NOT order Delivery.

Diner Review №121

I would say top 3 best Thai restaurants in WA. It’s a modern small business but food was simply exceptional!! Reasonable price and portion was generous as well. Love to visit again soon. Great music selection as well. Haha

This place was recommended as the top spot to get the most delicious, authentic Thai food around. I was super skeptical because there was another go-to Thai spot right around the corner that I have been recommending for years. I tried it as I wanted to to see if she was wrong. Nope! 100%. I got 5 dishes with a foodie buddy of mine, and we were over the moon with just how delicious Charm Gai is!!! We were making all kinds of mmmmmmm OMG mmmmmhhhhhh. Oooohhh. Try this one!!! OOOOHHHHHH!! MMMMMMHHNNNN.

DEFINITELY WORTH THE TRIP.

The Massamon Curry is on another level. A must try.

Diner Review №134

Phenomenal! I had the 3 stars spicy noodles and pot stickers. The stickers were crispy and the spices were perfect. My server was so kind and attentive.

Diner Review №135

Lol service lady was a bitter old hag. Last time they’re getting money from me

Diner Review №136

Small Thai shop that serves close-to-authentic Thai. Have to admit, their fried rice of all kinds are phenomenal, and there's lots of fried grill flavor in it as well as good portions. Fried vege rolls were unique and delicious also. A couple of recommendations for a 5-star review would be to have some entrees consisting of meat for us slobs, for example, a more Asian-fusion option such as Sesame chicken or Mongolian Beef. My favorite meal to this day is Fried Mongolian beef with Pad Thai and a golden Cali-roll.. but good job to the owners for landing a solid restaurant 🙌

Diner Review №137

We travel to every Thai place we find this place is absolutely hands down the best we have ever been to. The flavors are impeccable. Must must try yall!

Diner Review №159

I was really impressed with the cleanliness and friendly service from the counter to the chef in back. Both had smiles and I genuinely felt welcome even if it were for a simple luncheon. The food was hot and prepared to my liking. Good quality, quantity, and average cost. Atmosphere was cozy/homey and bright. Eating area was spacious. I will be coming here again!

Diner Review №167

Very impressed, surprised how good it was.

Diner Review №168

Best curry I’ve ever had

Diner Review №169

Use to be a regular here, but not after tonight. Not sure if there are new owners or new cook, but it was the most tasteless food
I have ever had. There was no seasoning or spice. Though we ordered spicy. Very disappointing.

The food is ok and the service is pretty bad.

Always great. Love the Tom ka everytime.

Diner Review №174

We get take out (rice and noodles) often here. Consistent quality.

Diner Review №175

I asked for vegan and tofu, and I got tofu and a pile of chicken hidden in the center. This does not seem to be a vegan friendly place.

Diner Review №176

Very flavorful and delicious. They charge $2 for each scoop of rice. Menu is simple. Portions are okay. Easy parking. Good location out in the corner of the alderwood mall parking lot near nordstrom.

Diner Review №177

Delicious food, large portions, and friendly service

Diner Review №178

The food was absolutely delicious. It was amazing how quickly we recieved our food , even during the lunch rush. We look forward to coming back soon.

Diner Review №179

This is my favorite Thai place now…I ordered the crab fried rice and it is in a class of its own. Although I did feel like it needed more crab 😉. Everything tastes fresh and clean! The Thai iced teas tastes so completely new but I think it’s how Thai iced tea is supposed to taste but here they use better ingredients. And last but not least, how can you trust a proper Thai review if you haven’t had their mango sticky rice. Absolutely divine! …all this combined with friendly service and beautiful presentation…do not come here! 😂

I/we absolutely love Charm Gai!
If you're looking for authentic Thai food, then Charm Gai is the place to go. The owner (Miss Gai) takes pride in her cooking and the high quality of the food they serve. Most of her dishes have a very distinctive taste, especially Phad Kee Mao and Phad Thai! The restaurant is clean, and has a friendly staff. I highly recommend this place, you won't be disappointed!

Diner Review №181

Definitely try the tom yum noodle! DELICIOUS

Diner Review №182

Every dish I've had here is so balanced. Crab rice is amazing. The only calamari I've ever liked was from the seafood soup here. I eat out a lot and I can't think of one single negative thing. Be it parking, service, or cleanliness, this place excels in all areas of what should be considered the Pinnacle of excellence

Delicious and allergy friendly

Our go-to Thai restaurant north of Seattle! Service and food consistently high quality, and there is a wide product offering. Both eat in and take away.

We typically order take away and have done so via their website, Doordash, and phone. We prefer phone as there are no additional service fees paid to DD, etc. Staff is lovely!!

Food is ready quickly and on time -- usually about 15 minutes.

Diner Review №187

Every single thing we had was fantastic - I usually take pictures but it smelled so good I completely forgot. Excellent experience. Staff was so friendly!!

Diner Review №188

Flavors were perfect! Good heat and great portions. Thank you!

Ordered a beef curry (mussaman neau) and pad see iew, and they both tasted so delicious. Thai tea is sooo good. Such a hidden gem. Please do not come here because I don't want you to love it. 🙈🤫

Great food

Diner Review №193

Quick, straight to the point, efficient, and good at what they offer

Diner Review №194

I loved the Tum Yum
But the Beef phad Thai was a bit tough and hard to eat
Overall I liked Thai food Maybe next time I will order different menu

Diner Review №195

This is definitely one of the best Thai restaurants I've been to. It's also one of the very few restaurants that don't put sugar in their dishes. The portions were appropriate. Every single dish that we ordered were good. If this place isn't very far away from my home, I would have made my go to Thai restaurant.

Diner Review №196

Delicious fried rice and very friendly server.

Diner Review №197

5 star food with 5 star service. 👍 👍

Diner Review №198

Very very good little family run Thai place. Everything we had was really good and the people are really nice. Would love to come back and order on the spicy side when the kids are not sharing.

Diner Review №199

Food was great. Moist, flavorful, great texture. Thai tea was great, filled all the way to the top. Service was amazing aswell. Would definitely recommend trying, basil fried rice was good and authentic, they used ground chicken like back in Thailand.
