I'm not sure if the problem is greed or mismanagement. We ordered food at 6:03 and when I asked at 7:10 about the food I was told they were going to start cooking it soon. I asked them to return my money and I left without the food. There was no sense of urgency or apology even though we tipped very well when we ordered online. The feeling I got is morale is low and the staff is short and overworked and don't really like or care about the business. It used to be different but they have not been able to adjust as the area has grown.
Unfortunately, we had a disappointing experience. Despite the restaurant being only half full, we waited about 10 minutes without being acknowledged or seated. The staff looked our way a few times but did not assist us. Two other families also experienced the same issue, and we all ended up leaving. Customer service needs improvement.
Hit or miss with food quality. I had an order to go after the lunch rush that tasted like the tofu was cooked earlier in the day and possibly microwaved to reheat. Rubbery and tough. Usually better quality earlier in the day and as a dine-in customer.
The food here is always great and consistent. The help is alert and ready for any request you have. There is a nice aquarium with good looking fish inside to entertain the kiddos.
Didn’t get to eat here. Our party was seated, but never provided menus. After 15 minutes I went to ask if we could be waited on and was told they were over loaded with take out orders. I asked if we should go elsewhere to eat and was told “test next door “. This was after I had unloaded my 91 year old father from the car. Just rude.
Food has gone downhill. The chicken in the curry is tough as leather. Heat ranges are not consistent. Sadly used to love this place. May need to explore other Thai spots moving forward
This is for the Redmond Ridge location. We've never eaten in the restaurant, but we've ordered take-out for 3-4 years now. The food has always been very good and consistent, and the portions are very generous.
Looove this place! Fave Thai food in the Redmond, Duvall, Monroe area. Super yummy and delicious food. Great selection. Most highly recommended. Beautiful restaurant. Plenty seating. Great service.
By mistake they did not include any spice in my soup that I ordered 3 stars. When I called to tell them they were extremely rude and said i was wrong. Literally there was not even one chilli flake!!! I've eaten their soup before and it was wonderful and that's why I ordered Tom kha with 3 stars today because I'm getting a cold. I got nothing but a nasty attitude and this was a huge waste of money. Unreliable poor food quality and terrible customer care!!!!!!! Not worth it for me to return the soup tomorrow.

So tasty! Lemongrass Chicken was excellent, service was fast and courteous, and bathrooms were immaculate :)

Great Thai food. Vegan option available on request.
🤩
Lies and Mark’s DoorDash deliveries as ready when they give them to you late With zero apologies and attitude
After being seated sat for 15 minutes waiting for my order to be taken gave up and left.... terrible service.... very disrespectful.... if they are really that busy I was willing to wait for my food but to not take my order is disappointing
This is for the Redmond Ridge location. We've never eaten in the restaurant, but we've ordered take-out for 3-4 years now. The food has always been very good and consistent, and the portions are very generous.
Wow. Ordered out. Had Phad See-Ew like many times before, but it was terrible. Pork was dry, noodles were a pulverized mess. Didn’t even save the leftovers. New management? New cook maybe? Not a pleasant take out experience
Food was ok. Very bad service. The waitress snapped at me for saying multiple time no oyster sauce or fish oil. Come on - I just want to be sure. She can say the same thing with a smile. She does not have to be rude to me.. if I want to get snapped at at the dinner table - I would eat at home and let my wife do the honors :-)
Placed order online, soup. Looks like someone aet some
The servicer was rude, I told her thank you and she said thank you for what? And still was harassing for a tip. She needs some good egg rolls in her life
Completely understaffed and overwhelmed. They tell you when to pick up and then when you arrive they tell you it will be 30 more mins. Everytime! They get that money up front though. This was my 3rd try. No thanks.
Food is delicious, atmosphere and ambiance is excellent.. but this review is especially for my favorite hostess working mostly on weekends. She is incredibly nice and always wears a great smile on her face. God bless you sister you live long.
I've been ordering take out, as well as dining in with my family in this restaurant many times.
Seeing a bunch of negative reviews, where Karens vent and give trashy reviews for a single small issue, or even a non-issue (like, server not smiling, really?), I decided to give mine, just to counter them. They probably will down vote my review, but I don't care.
Food is great, and that's all that matters.
Roasted duck curry was about $18. Enough food for two people. Cooked to perfection. Staff was very nice. Go to spot if you're near the Ridge.
Im Thai and this place is very good and authentic. They used all good material i can tell. Strongly recommend. This place is also good for party
It was a great place very quiet and nice my entire family had an amazing time, love this place and my server was so kind a patient.
We have and will continue to have take away here. Consistently good food. However, not sure who decided to sell us three burnt wings for 18 bucks last night. I thought that was Low.

Food quality seems to be going down hill. Every dish we had tonight had a weird smell and taste.
The owner guy is terrible. I tell him how spicy I want my food and he says ok and then when I get my food it says 1 star which is no spice at all. This has happened every time he takes my order. Do you ever listen to what I'm saying?
This used to be my favorite restaurant but I will never go here again for several reasons. 1: I ordered sizzling hot plate which was completely cold to the touch. 2: the plaid Thai was old and made me sick. 3: my teas was cold and not strong. 4: waitress rushed our entire experience 5: cook yelled at customer waiting to be picked up.
The chicken Tom Kah is amazing, especially when fresh/dine-in.
So glad you are open in Christmas
Hostess confronted my daughter who picked up my take out order for not adding a tip. Tom yum was sugar water, no galangal, no lime leaf, no cilantro, minimal lemongrass. Pad thai went racid by next day. Appetizer sampler was very good. Don't know if food quality was related to tip issue.
I only do take out here. So can't comment on the inside dining experience. I have had great luck here doing take out, all of the dishes were very good, they pack them with care, and normally they are ready quick and the food is still nice and hot when I get it home. The soups are great here as well.
Ordered on DoorDash to deliver to my home in Duvall, was very fast and convenient! 😄🙏🏼
Everything is amazing at this place. from their loose leaf tea selection to the people! Nit in the front and Francisco making the delicious food!
An excellent experience
This was my first time dining at Sliver Spoon Thai and I had high hopes. Unfortunately there were lots and lots of flies present while dining (in the late fall when you would not expect to see this) and the flies would not leave us or other diners alone. It made you wonder what is happening in the kitchen if there are so many flies present in the dining room. The food was also not as good as I’ve had elsewhere and the service was impatient and grumpy. All in all, I was very disappointed and won’t come back.
Buen servicio buena comida
Not happy with overall service. Not that they were rude but they were not friendly either. 1st order was wrong and they remade and next one they increased the spice level. Did not enjoy the food much. Seems they did not pay attention to the details of the order.
Excellent neighborhood Thai restaurant, my personal recommendations are - Thai or Crab Fried Rice, Tom Yum soup, Crab Delight and any of the rice noodles.
Our go to place !! Always yummy and full of flavor!!
Everything was phenomenal. Great customer service and every dish is so flavorful.
Two words, SO and GOOD!
Food has gone down hill since I was there a few years. Got take out and the women at the counter acted fake nice with snotty undertones. When I asked for some chili sauce I was charged .53 cents. Luckily I had a dollar on me. Won’t be returning to this restaurant.
Delivery was scheduled ahead of time via their own service and they started making it when it was supposed to be delivered. 4 different dishes, all below average.
Also, we got food poisoning. I should have checked the reviews first.
My food has always been solid here and the location very convenient.
Comida deliciosa, aunque el servicio de los asiáticos no siempre es muy buena; son un poco intolerantes, no conocen la calidez en el servicio, pero la comida es muy buena, recomendable
We always get pad see ew and it’s the best around!
The toughest and hard to chew chicken I ever had.. won't recommend their chicken satay at all. We told them, but they were like, "Oh ok," and completely ignored. Didn't like the atmosphere, as the flies continued to buzz around the plates and fell in one. Out of three dishes that we ordered, 1 was very bad, 1 was OK, and the other item was good.
They said they don't keep chilly oil as it is out of market. Sold out
The server was incredibly rude. Was not smiling. He looked very annoyed. He brought in greasy plates disgusting when asked for cleaner plate he brought in a towel and just wiped the plates and that didn’t do anything to the grease. I asked the server for a clean towel and some soap to clean the plates myself he got annoyed, so we asked him for a take away container instead of the plate, and to eat inside he said only take away will give you any kind of literally kicked us out dirty rude zero stars
A beautiful large fish tank welcomes you into the space. The service was friendly, food was good and the prices were fair.
best Thai tea I’ve had. Gentleman at front of house was veryyyy warm and welcoming!
Food was good but their tom Kai soup was too sweet and had too much coconut milk in it for my taste. Same for the curry.
great service and great food
Good curry but quite possibly the worst pad thai I have ever had. Tasted like the same oil had been used for about a week. Wont go back. Lots of great Thai places around here.
We have eaten here for decades, ever since they opened. There is no consistency with the quality of the food. Sometimes delicious and other times not! We're completely done after last night's experience. One entree was a noodle dish with no meat, just vegetables. The vegetables were extremely overcooked and mushy. I called and they offered to remake it. I drove 30 minutes round trip and the replacement was just as bad as the first! I called to let her know and she said she had checked it and it was fine. This entree could only be fine as baby food! The customer service, has also been horrible at times over the years.
Poor services, waitress pretty rude.
Visiting the place with friends , food was stale , Pad Thai , rice curry ,was not special to talkabout ,service was lousy .
Small and friendly Thai restaurant in the neighborhood
Great food and excellent service
Food always good here
I was the only customer there
The food was like here you are lucky we are serving you this
Very lame and who knows what goes on in the kitchen didnt understand the language ( RUDE )
Not a Vegetarian Friendly place. Everything either has Oyster sauce or Shrimp paste. Staff/Chef/Owner does not consider dietary restriction and not very friendly to answer questions.
Excellent food and the lunch specials are generous portions at a reasonable price.
Wonderful food. Great for a special night out or a casual one.
There was plastic cooked into my food. They were very standoffish when I asked them for a refund. They eventually, begrudgingly, said they would give me one. After two weeks I finally received it. The food is alright, kinda overpriced for the quality(low quality).
I would give it zero or negative stars if I could! Don't waist your money, your time and then get your day ruined here!!! Food was just so so but we experienced the WORST service ever and were FORCED to pay 18% tips. what's wrong with you, rude lady?
We came with our friend's family. My little boy was emotional after sitting down in the restaurant and I was trying to comfort him. Then the waitress came and told us with an angry tone that other customers were complaining about his sobbing. My friend was sitting quietly with us all the time and noticed NO customer talked to her about it at all. All complaints all came from the waitress herself. This was not the whole story. My husband then decided to take our boy out of the restaurant to get some fresh air (And they never came back to the restaurant after that). As soon as they left, the waitress came to our table and commented with a horrible and mean tone that " You need to be aware that others are complaining. You should have taken him out when he is crying!" Excuse me, don't you see my husband has already taken him out? Where does that attitude come from? Where is your empathy, if there is any? Ironically, We ended up receiving a bill with 18% tips added automatically! I paid and promised myself I will never be back!
Greasy food, not very good service
Great dinner option after a long day! Big portions and always taste great.
The staff was very rude insisting I must sit and not move u til the order is complete
Very friendly staff - and the food is excellent. The pad Thai is better with fewer stars as the spicy isn't balanced out well flavor wise, but the pad kee mow is excellent on the spicy side.
Great staff, excellent food!!
Great food
Nice restaurant 🍴. Meals are delicious too. I ordered rice with chicken. It was very tasty
They have pretty much pivoted to take out model. Still, decent Thai fare for the area
The staff is far above average in both service and style.
The spoons are stainless steel here, like everywhere else. The restaurant's name is an indication of high quality ingredients and attention to detail. It does not actually relate to metallurgy or precious metal serving utensils.
The average weight of a spoon is 16.5 grams or about half the weight of one silver 1 ounce coin. A solid silver spoon is worth about $12.
Nice setting to dine in and food is also packaged well for delivery. Unnecessarily large speed bumps in parking lot.
The food is pretty good, but consistency can vary a bit depending on the day. Overall, still probably the best Thai food in the Woodinville/Redmond ridge area.
Food seemed to have been frozen, heated in microwave, not prepared to order. Bean rice noodles so so. Vegetable seafood dish dry. Tea okay. Would not recommend, disappointed, will not return.
This is great Thai food their customer service is great the greet you in the nicest way and always seem happy to be helping :)
Great friendly fast service. Magnificent food. Clean restaurant.
Always good and warm food. My family and I enjoy the delicious one.
I really like their Tom Kah Gai soup with chicken, their Panan curry so far. Will try more dishes in the future. I always get take out.
I have never written a one-star review for a restaurant before. And unfortunately this is a one star based off of the fact that I didn’t ever get to dine there which is even worse. But this needs to be said. If your restaurant offers delivery service do not accept an order at the end of the night (but still before closing mind you), then confirm with the delivery service that the food was being made, confirm it was finished and ready for pick up, allow a driver to waste their time go there, and then be completely closed. You wasted the driver’s time and their customer’s time. It’s unacceptable. I don’t know the conditions of how this all occurred but last night I ordered food after coming home from a late flight. All I really wanted was some curry and soup for me and my partner. We waited a half an hour till you guys confirmed it was made. The delivery service sent a driver to your location and 30 minutes later he called me outside very apologetic for the fact that your business was completely closed. Why did this happen?? The last thing anyone wants to deal with at the end of a long day after paying for delivery and waiting an hour for it when you were already starving to begin work is to then have to make food or go to bed hungry because of an early morning. Just want an explanation and an apology to be honest. I hope management/owners see this review and respond.
Staff is unprofessional, rude and lazy! It’s like they are disappointed every time a customer walks in. If you walk in 1 hour before their closing time, they will insist on you to take away food instead of dining in and ask rudely why you couldn’t come in earlier. Food is not bad but customer service sucks and they really need to pay attention to these reviews!!
The staff is extremely rude and unwelcoming. They are reluctant to take order and serve even before their official closing time . Bad customer customer experience a couple of times now.
So… absolutely awful service and a bug in my soup. Don’t come here, save yourself a night of food poisoning nightmares.
Really great place to get some Thai food. The service is great and I don’t see any issues with any of the waiters that other reviews mentioned. The food had plenty of flavor. The food was also delicious and spot on and the pricing was not too high. Great place for families or a group of friends. (The pork ribs are really good)
Crying tiger 4 star good stuff
Entire family is sick from this place. $80 of food last night and even my 19 month old has food poisoning. I would like to point out that over the last 4 years Everytime we purchase food it's more expensive and less food. I wouldn't suggest this food to anyone. As far as Pacific northwest Thai goes, it's bottom of the barrel adequate. If your hungry/starving yes but if you have time, make another decision. Our family will never give them a dollar again.
Food is okay, but the staff working there leaves much to be desired. There were hardly 6 people in 3 tables when we went, and still they got our order wrong, then when the order came they didnt give us utensils till we asked for them, when we asked for to go boxes, they gave us some so small that the food wouldn't fit.
This place rocks my server was amazing but this food was bomb. I haven't had good Thai food in a while and this was the only thing around. I'm so happy I stopped here great staff and tasty food that gets your mouth salivating from the moment you enter the door I will be back the food is just a delight..oh also the prices are great it's low cost food that doesn't skimp
Food is usually better than it was tonight. Liquid from Eggplant order leaked everywhere and there was not much eggplant in the dish. Scimpy portion of rice, wasn't enough for the order of eggplant and green curry.
It has regained its mojo.
This place is the SPOT. The food is unbelievable and the people are so sweet. Don't pay attention to those 1 star reviews, they don't know good Thai food
The price they changed me for my food was not the same on the menu. The food was descent but nothing special.
Rude wait staff. I asked how long to wait for order and lady yelled "30 minutes" No wonder they have 3.8 rating.
They always customize to give us what we want. And their food preperation is really good. Our entire family likes it there.
Shared food with a friend. Was very good.
What a pleasant place to enjoy a delicious meal! One of us had spinach and chicken with peanut sauce over rice - the best peanut sauce we have found on the East Side - and the other had chicken breast with veggies over rice. The chicken was tender and moist and the seasoning was flavorful without being too spicy. This was our first visit and I know we'll be back.
Food is good but the service is bad. They are not friendly at all. The waitress is so mad and rude. The owner need to fire her. I won’t come back again. I got the same feeling from following reviewer Dolores and others. I don’t understand why the owner wanna still keep her.
Consistently good Thai food. Great for take-out!
Good food & fast service! We typically always do takeout.
Ordered pad Thai and I did say hot but it was too sweet and soggy to my liking
Great food, kind of expensive though!
Do you like delicious, authentic Thai food? This is your place.
Our favorite Thai restaurant, been coming here for years! Great staff, owner is wonderful, and LOVE the food!!
Silver Spoon makes great Thai food and serves large portions in a very nice setting. An outdoor dining are is available when you want to be outdoors.
Terrible, overpriced food and rude staff. Worst ever experience dining out at a Thai restaurant.
(Sep 2021) I am willing to increase the rating to 5 stars. The same lady changed her attitude and has been greeting customers and drivers nicely. She also checked the details of the order. No more excuses like not receiving the delivery orders. Also important is that meals have been prepared in time. So it is fair to update the restaurant's rating.
(May 2020) Iam a Uber Eats driver. The employees were not trained to check food delivery orders on their machine regularly. They just ignored it if they were busy. They wouldn't make Uber Eats or Doordash meals until the delivery driver arrived and knew to cut the line of awaiting customers for to-go pickups, to notify the restaurant to start making food for Uber or Doordash orders. The employees were having so many excuses like "The order appeared just now." or even "We didn't received the order!" Once my customer told me he placed the order around 4PM, and I was dispatched and came in around 5:30PM. I got his food around 6:30PM (waiting for an hour is very bad for drivers). I gave up delivering the second customer's order because the restaurant just started to make it after at least 5 minutes after I got the first customer's meal and I didn't want the food in my hand to get cold. Uber or Doordash should stop cooperating with such kind of restaurants!
Very poor version of Thai cuisine.None of the 4 items we ordered were any good.
Agree, there is a nasty waitress. Needs to be fired. Curt and nasty!. Food is still good regardless of her attitude. Just makes it unpleasant to visit..Relative?
Reasonably priced Thai. Been at this location for many years and has solid local clientele for takeout and (recently) dine in. Be sure to specify how spicy you want your food.
food had mold
The comments about the extremely rude staff should not be taken lightly. Very rude people.
Great food every time!
This is my favorite Thai place in Redmond. When we lived in Lynnwood we used to go to the Silver Spoon there, so when we moved to Redmond we were really happy to have the other Silver Spoon location close to us!
Service was subpar, food was worse than school cafeteria food, and when we did not get part of our order, they still gave part of our order but at the time we had enough. I would give 0 stars if possible.
What take out order takes 2 hours to make? Absolutely ridiculous.
My experience was with yum woon sen as take out. This noodle salad was light, fresh and so flavorful. Would be a great healthy meal or perfect as a side dish with something richer and heavier. I loved it!
I was recently there with family on a Saturday and the food was beyond excellent! Went there today and the food was barely warm and the rice was very, very dry. Guess I should only eat here on the weekends.
This is our go-to Thai restaurant. I always let my fiancé order for me at random and I have never been disappointed. We love the fresh rolls and crab delights as appetizers and I’ve loved every entree I’ve had. 5-Stars every time!!
I haven’t been to the restaurant in person (only doordash) & i only ever get tofu fresh rolls but their peanut sauce for the fresh rolls is the best i’ve ever had. i’m addicted.
Our favorite Thai place around. Great food, good portions and helpful staff.
Good spice level.
I payed 19 dollars for panang curry that is so little and they put only 4 shrimp. They forgot to put rice that supposed to be included with it. The woman working there is was so rude when I asked them for the rice.
I've been going here for many years. I have always had a good experience with the staff. They have always been friendly. The food is also the best Thai food I've had on the east side. Large portions and excellent food.
Very poor service, never going back there again.
Always good food. Friendly employees.
This is really solid/good Thai. I have been eating here fir 3 years—it’s the best Thai in eastside.
There is a waiter(with false eyelashes) very rude but other ppl are extremely nice. The only reason I think she can still work there is she is the owner or owner’s relatives. I used to visit a lot since there is no good restaurants around before this waiter starts work there.
They are doing a great job practicing social distancing, set up for pick-up orders is very responsible! Food is delicious, loved the panang and green curry, pad kee mao, fresh rolls, chicken satay & amazing peanut sauce.
Very very rude staff. Very bad service. Okay food, would not recommend.
