The food is SO GOOD and the staff is so friendly! Can’t recommend enough!

Diner Review №2

The food is delicious

Diner Review №3

I have eaten at Gatiem Thai a few times now and every time it has been excellent! Most recently, I had the Green Curry, which was fantastic and perfect for this cold weather.

Whether we were dining in or taking away, the staff at Gatiem Thai were super friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. They even took the time to chat with us and suggest some great dishes. It’s always nice to feel genuinely welcomed. I will definitely be visiting again soon!

Diner Review №4

This place has plants from floor to ceiling and I love it! I had the green curry with chicken and it was delicious. And the staff was lovely so it was a great experience all around.

Diner Review №5

We had Phad Thai and Panang Curry, both dishes were rather bland. Noodles were unlike any other Thai noodles I have eaten; more like thin spaghetti.

Diner Review №6

Best Thai I've found in the area, since Talay Thai closed.

Diner Review №7

Came here recently and the food was top-notch. It was super fresh and tasted homemade, definitely a different feel than a lot of the other Thai restaurants in the area. The service is also awesome, the owner is very attentive and kind.

Diner Review №8

Diner Review №9

Some of the best curry I've tasted. Also, the staff (think it's the owners) are just so nice. Great place that I'll continue to eat at in the future.

Diner Review №10

We ordered the crab wonton, pineapple curry fried rice, and the daily special (green papaya salad, chicken wings, and sticky rice). At Thai restaurants, the spice level can vary a lot as it tends to be on the milder side even if you order 3/5 stars. But Gatiem’s spice was on point! We could taste the spice in both main dishes and were happy with the food we got. The owners are super nice and attentive and the overall vibe of the restaurant is cozy as you will see multiple different plants inside.

We will definitely be back again to try their other dishes!

Diner Review №11

Diner Review №12

We got chicken pad Thai and green curry and they were both delicious. The inside of the restaurant is fun and quirky and the server was super friendly. We will definitely be back!

Diner Review №13

Highly recommend! We went here for lunch on a Sunday with my niece. There were so many decorations, plants, Beta Fish and toys to look at. It made for a very fun afternoon. The food was great with lovely service.

Diner Review №14

Exceptional service and flavor and very well priced!

Diner Review №15

Diner Review №16

Oh yeah, our new favorite Thai place! It smells just like the kitchens and restaurants in Thailand. Truly authentic meals, super savory and high quality. We ordered Massaman Curry with 3 stars and the spice level was spot-on (which is so hard to find elsewhere!). Also ordered the Thai Fried Rice which was deeeeelicious. Not only was the spice level *perfect* on both dishes, but get this: the chicken was cooked perfectly too! How many times have you ordered the chicken at Indian or Thai places but it was dry and overcooked? Not here ~ !! It was thoroughly cooked without being overdone, which is truly hard to find. I ordered online directly from their website for pick up, which was a breeze and it worked perfectly. Next time we'll dine there because the staff was so sweet and friendly with that trademark Thai smile! Thank you Gatiem -- we'll be back frequently.

Diner Review №17

The green Thai curry was excellent.

Diner Review №18

New favorite red curry. We will be back regularly.

Diner Review №19

Recently moved to Mountlake Terrace and have been exploring local restaurants. The food was very good and the service was outstanding! The server/owner is very kind and attentive. This is now my go to Thai place!

Diner Review №20

Ordered pickup, got the spring rolls, chicken larb salad, yellow curry, and pad see lew. The food was great, and a 2 on the spicy scale was the perfect amount of heat for me.

Diner Review №21

I got Tom Yum Thai soup for take-away and it was DELICIOUS! The minced pork was nicely seasoned and there just the right amount of lime. Highly recommend!

Diner Review №22

Excellent dishes with, agreed with some other reviewers, smaller portions than some. That said, I might *want* gargantuan portions, but do I *need* them?

Diner Review №23

Food was wonderful. The owner is attentive and friendly. Prices are reasonable. We got Pad Thai and Tom Yum soup and the food is always hot and tasty. This is my new go-to Thai restaurant

Diner Review №24

I’ve been here several times and tried a number of the menu items. Good Thai food and a fun atmosphere.

Diner Review №25

The staff are so kind and the food is excellent. If you are looking for decent Thai consider this establishment!

Diner Review №26

I'm so glad we discovered this local Thai place because I cannot wait to go back and make this our go to Thai.

Food: we got the Pad see ew and the massamum curry and both were very delicious. The spice level was perfect for what we chose and the flavors were really on point. Value was great as well.

Service and ambience: my first thought coming into this place is what acquaint and cozy little restaurant this is. It's filled with plants and unique figurines and funky dolls even. The man who served us was super friendly and you can tell he was very happy as well. He checked in on us often and made sure everything was going well.

Everything about this place makes me want to come back Soon.

Diner Review №27

This place served me one of the best fried rice dishes I’ve ever had with the kindest service I could have hoped for. Well-spiced, perfectly cooked rice, delicious veggies. The spring rolls were so good! Not too greasy but still so crunchy and fresh. The kee mao noodles were also incredible, and the best my friend ever had. The only downside was the pad thai was a bit bland, didn’t have many veggies, and wasn’t spiced as well as the other dishes we tried. Still, cannot wait to come back here! It can honestly be tough to find such amazing food in Seattle; this place is a true gem.

Diner Review №28

Wonder, relaxing music complementing a lovely, inviting atmosphere with an inspiring array of happy plants and colorful, fun-named betas spotted throughout the foliage. The owner greeted us and immediately sat us, brought us filtered, cool water and a pink place setting for our four-year-old daughter. She was tickled and enjoyed distracting herself by reading the names of the betas, and looking for characters amongst the cascading leaves. The food came quickly and was delicious! Authentic, and full of a variety of veggies on the dishes we asked for no meat. Definitely our new go-to spot whenever we are in town! Khap khun kaa!

Diner Review №29

ordered Pad Kee Mao (beef) to go.

meat is tender, flavor is spot on, noodle has the right texture.

highly recommend and will come back.

Diner Review №30

This food is very delicious. I am picky with my Thai food and this was exactly what I wanted.
Got the pad see ew, Penang curry and Thai fried rice for mains and all were excellent. Also got the pot stickers and they were exceptional.
Very happy this restaurant is here!

Diner Review №31

Amazing lunch special and great service!

Diner Review №32

Our favorite Thai restaurant! The food is perfect every time and they couldn’t be nicer people.

Diner Review №33

Diner Review №34

Their pad thai is out of this world, you've got to try it! Great service, friendly staff.

Diner Review №35

Stopped by on a whim and really enjoyed my food. Warm atmosphere/friendly folks. They had golden noodles, which I don’t always see at thai restaurants and is such an awesome comfort food. I asked for Spicy and they delivered! Nice to get properly warm food without having to heap extra chilisauce on top and smother the flavor. I’ll be back. :)

Diner Review №36

Diner Review №37

Missed our exit on I-5 and decided to grab lunch! We stubbles upon this gem by chance best decision!! Great food friendly service and great atmosphere!

Diner Review №38

Great staff, wonderful things to look at while you enjoy excellent food.

Diner Review №45

Ate on the patio with a friend who had brought his dog. Service was friendly and food was good.

Diner Review №46

Service was great but unfortunately food wasn’t good. Hopefully they will improve the food, using fresh vegetables and improving the seasoning.

Diner Review №47

Already took the place of my favorite Thai place in the area! They have a nice selection of dishes that have been consistently delicious. Good food, friendly service - can’t go wrong here!

Diner Review №48

Very cute neighborhood spot with good food. Fresh and tasty, I will order from here again soon!

Diner Review №49

The best Thai food in the area.

Diner Review №50

Small portions. The kee mao noodle we had was overcooked and so salty. The green curry at least had a decent amount of veggies and meat; however the beef cuts weren't very tender. We picked chicken as the meat for our tom yum noodle soup, and the chicken was minced/grounded which was so strange because it was very dry in that form.

Diner Review №51

I’ve been here several times and it’s always great. Super friendly and great food. For me the best Thai food around.

Diner Review №52

Very nice Thai restaurant. Very fresh ingredients. Happy to make dietary adjustments to your meal.

Diner Review №53

This is a hidden gem
Excellent attention the food was amazing lunch specials were the perfect size and I highly recommend this restaurant

Diner Review №54

Diner Review №55

Great new spot for thai cuisine. Diggin the massiman curry.

Diner Review №56

Delicious! The mango sticky rice is the perfect treat, highly recommend.

Diner Review №57

Service is great, kind folks. My wife and I each ordered a curry, yellow (1/5🌶️) and red (5/5🌶️). Super tasty, the creaminess of the dish balances the spice very well. The affordable price points are also a perk. Will be back soon!

Diner Review №58

Hands down the best fresh rolls and peanut sauce ever!! Wow!!……. Just wow!

Diner Review №59

Very quick and pleasant service. Food was very good.

Diner Review №60

I was excited to try this place as it is close to home. However, I was really disappointed. I ordered pick-up. The place does look cute but the phad thai I ordered was very dry and had almost no sauce. It's was like just eating plain noodles.

Diner Review №61

Stopped in for lunch. The restaurant and bathroom were very clean! Very nicely decorated dining area. They had a combo menu for lunch with about 8 options to choose from as your main, which came with Pad Thai, and egg roll and rice 🍚. Everything was so delicious! I cleared my whole plate. Will definitely come back next time I'm in the area. Service was also great!

Diner Review №62

Found this place when passing through town and it was probably some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had. Fast friendly service and quality ingredients. Can’t ask for much else

Diner Review №63

Fantastic place! Generous portions, cooked perfectly & garnished nicely. Great service, great prices, I'll be back!

Diner Review №64

We reside directly across the street from this establishment, which has prompted us to dine here on six separate occasions. While the quality of the food is satisfactory, it does not rank as the best or worst Thai cuisine I have experienced. The pricing for each dish is comparatively lower, approximately $1 to $2 less than most other Thai restaurants. However, it is important to note that the portion sizes are also smaller. Despite not being particularly large eaters, my wife and I consistently require three dishes to achieve satiation. Increasing the portion sizes while maintaining or slightly raising the prices would be a more favorable approach.

Diner Review №65

Super adorable decorations! Tons of plans and fish with cutesy names. Delectable cuisine and the friendliest servers! 110% would recommend!!!

Diner Review №66

Very tasty food and the service was nice and happy to explain the food as well. They have a little 3 table patio which was perfect for eating outside. I am excited to go back to try more dishes.

Diner Review №67

We ordered Pad Thai, green curry with tofu, and chicken wings. All of the dishes were bland and lacked flavor. The green curry's consistency was watery, resembling a soup, and it contained only five tofu cubes with minimal vegetables. The Pad Thai was slightly better but still dry and tasteless. The food needs more authentic Thai flavors. However, the owner was very friendly. I plan to visit once more before updating my review.

Diner Review №68

Tasty, well-prepared food (my favorite is the pad kee mao, and really nice service. I think the portion size is perfect! The interior is full of plants and is very restful.

Diner Review №69

Absolutely hands-down delicious! When I first discovered Thai food many years ago I ate so much Pad Thai that I got sick of it. I didn't think it was possible but this place has managed to renew my love of that dish. They make it more savory than sweet which is really the aspect that I got sick of. All other dishes we tried here were excellent too--great flavors and cooked to perfection. The interior of the place is also well done; it has a relaxing effect. My daughter loved the fish swimming between the roots of the plants in the decorative vases :) On top of all of that, the the service was outstanding. Drinks were kept topped off without even having to ask. I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars.

Diner Review №70

Thrilled to live a few blocks from here, it's one of our go-tos for takeaway. From what we've had so far the curries are where this place shines. We've had green, red, and panang so far - I could eat them every day and be completely satisfied. Same for the crab wontons, chicken satay, and the basil fried rice.

They've added outdoor seating. It's a simple, really pleasant setup.

Diner Review №71

Yakisoba and Rama noodles were so good! Looking forward to trying more

Diner Review №72

I couldn't eat the chicken as the quality was awful. The flavor was good but the noodles stuck together. Won't be going back.

Diner Review №73

The food is fresh and delicious. the atmosphere is light, airy and pretty and the service is excellent. I would highly recommend.

Diner Review №74

The food was exceptionally better in just slight ways then most Thai restaurants, but it made the food even THAT MORE AMAZING🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 we so many appetizers and entrees just my mom and I we ended up taking lots home🥰 the prices were super affordable for food that good and the staff were super friendly. Will be back!

Diner Review №75

Green curry was great!

Diner Review №76

The staff is welcoming and friendly. The food was fresh and tasty.

Diner Review №77

Amazingly friendly and chill restaurant. Great food. Super nice people. Lots of cool plants.

Diner Review №78

I got a chicken thai fried rice today 5/5 spice and it was amazing my new go to spot! Very nice and caring owners!

Diner Review №79

I really hate to write bad reviews for new restaurants, but I have to for this one. While the service and atmosphere was great, this had to be one of the worst food experiences for Thai food I have had a in a long time. Pad Thai is a staple of any Thai restaurant in this area. I am well aware this is not "real" Thai food, but the dish itself was flavorless, no spice even though we asked for it, and the noodles were basic spaghetti noodles. So odd. The Pad See Ew - also a staple - tasted completely off and the best term I can give is burnt. I really hope they make it as a small business, but certainly will not be returning. We tried this place on a whim after our regular spot was closed early.

Diner Review №80

Gatiem Thai Cuisine is a gem of a restaurant that offers an extraordinary dining experience. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm smiles of the two owners and genuine hospitality. The menu features a great mix of authentic tasty Thai dishes, each made with fresh ingredients.
The menu is expected to evolve and expand with time!

Dine in, take out/to go. You can’t go wrong with Gatiem!

Diner Review №81

I was hungry for some Khao Man Gai around the MLT area when I stumbled across a review of Gatiem Thai Cuisine. I called in to inquire about the dish and the owner was very helpful and inviting. The dish tastes amazing! Great service and great food

Diner Review №82

Wonderful food and service here, I would come again if I lived closer!

Diner Review №83

Delicious Thai food! 😋

Diner Review №84

I’ve been looking for a Thai place that has the hot wok flavor in their food. This place does it! My daughters love noodles so we’ve tried the pad Thai and pad see ew and both are great. Mango sticky rice is yummy. we’ll be back to try other stuff. Only gripe- portion is enough for my 4 year old to eat all by herself.

Diner Review №85

A new thai restaurant in MLT area worth the visit! We had a couple of their appetizers, pad thai and garlic fried rice. All were delicious and the portion size were of decent to share between my husband and I. My ultimate fave was the mango sticky rice!

Service was very friendly and accommodating. We would definitely come back to try their other dishes!

Diner Review №86

Ingredients are fresh and the place is clean, nice service. I was disappointed that the old B&W noodle closed because it served Thai noodle soup dishes that were harder to find and more authentic. B&W had a small menu of things they did well.

If you’re the kind of person that’s happy with pad Thai loaded with sugar and oil and other American classics you won’t be disappointed here but I’m going to have to continue my search for delicious Thai food outside my neighborhood of MLT sadly.

Diner Review №87

Decided to visit as everyone in the MLT community said this place was so great but goodness was it lack luster and average. Portions were not super large and we ordered 4 different dishes. Each dish we received we wanted to eat less as the flavor was not there to the point where I lost my appetite. The quality of the meat is not there.

Staff was very warm and friendly and service was fast! Wouldn’t return based on the food. Would recommend Isarn or another Thai restaurant to this one.

Diner Review №88

Service was great, but the food was just ok. Flavor was alright, and portions were somewhat small.

Diner Review №89

Diner Review №90

The Pad Thai was so tasty and flavorful and the char on the wide noodles for our other dish was just right. The oil used was really clean tasting. Great, friendly customer service.

Diner Review №91

Excellent food and drinks! Also, the employees are very kind.

Diner Review №92

Been 3 times in as many weeks and every dish has been delicious and clearly freshly made. Miki and his wife are doing a great job making this space a comfortable and pleasant environment for diners. Love to see it and we'll keep coming back.

Diner Review №93

Pad Thai is awesome! Service is great too.

Diner Review №94

The owner is very sweet with years of experience. I got Pad Thai to go and it was delicious. Not overly sweet! Nice to have more Thai restaurant options up north.

Diner Review №95

A delicious Thai restaurant that recently opened in MLT. The staff was very friendly and prompt. They were very busy with in house and to go orders so we were told it would be a little longer wait which was completely understandable. More importantly, it was well worth the wait. The pad see ew was one of the best we have ever had, the spring rolls and swimming rama were Devine too. Can't wait to put Gatiem on our rotation of take out orders so delicious and worth every penny. We will be back for sure.

Diner Review №96

Wish I could give more than 5 stars! Great service, love the food, and the place looks wonderful. Love all the plants inside. The owners are awesome people. So excited Gatiem opened and looking forward to many more great meals from here!

Diner Review №97

Great food, great service. Owners are so nice and the food is delicious!

Diner Review №98

What a lovely place! Staff was so courteous, food was delicious and quick! Yum!! Hope more people come so it stays for awhile!

Diner Review №99

Service is amazing just as much as the food.

Diner Review №100

The rice that I had was amazing! Had lots of flavor and would be my go to when I go. Thanks to my aunt that told me about this location.

Diner Review №101

We had the Basil Chicken, Khao Mun Gai, Rangoon, and Thai Iced Tea. Our favorite was the Basil Chicken, although it was all delicious. The staff is all very friendly and we will be back to try out the rest of the menu!

Diner Review №102

We had the pleasure of tasting their dishes as they were being conceived, and I must say that the result is amazing. The crab rangoons were perfectly fried, delicious and creamy, the chicken curry and rice was nicely seasoned, and had just the right amount of all the flavors, and their garlic rice was on point. I can't wait to come back and try more of their awesome creations! Not only was the food delicious, but the staff are just awesome people!

Diner Review №103

The food, employees and atmosphere are amazing! This is by far the best Thai food my husband and I have ever had. The employees are so warm, welcoming and ensure their customers are satisfied. We will be repeat customers, 10/10 would definitely recommend!

Diner Review №104

We've been waiting for this place to open and it did not disappoint! The food is great, the refreshed interior is nice and the service is excellent. We'll be back for sure.
