Best Khao Soi I’ve had out of Chiang Mai!

Diner Review №2

God forbid you have a big party and keep the table for more than 2 hours, they'll quite literally ask you to leave. Joke of a place which is a shame because there wasn't any of this stupidity couple years ago. Also, they close at 11 but last call is at 10 apparently? Smh.

Crying tiger was good and so was the papaya salad. They have a lot of variety of items on the menu and reasonably priced.

Loved the ambience, and the quality of the food and service. As per my Thai friend, the food is authentic as well!

Diner Review №8

Amazing food, staff and fun atmosphere! And for the record, the previous post from a Jenner is false info, she’s just making an angry post, we were the party of 2 that waited more than an hour for our table and you only 30mins! And you’re complaining about your birthday being ruined! Get your facts straight, you are the liar!

Diner Review №9

It was the worst experience I have ever had waiting in a restaurant, the host is a big liar, I do not recommend this place. It was my birthday dinner and we were waiting in line for 30 minutes and then people who arrived after us sat them down first that is unfair the worst experience he ruined my birthday

Love this place, the best street Thai food, amazing cocktails, and justba fun and energetic atmosphere. Plus the bartenders are super fun :)

Diner Review №12

What amazing decor! I was truly delighted by the food and the vibes of this place. Kua Gai with calamari was delicious and the drunken noodles were awesome too. The cocktails are kinda expensive though.

Diner Review №13

Holy rusted hearing damage Batman!! The speaker over our table were some damn loud my ears are still ringing. Things got even louder when someone ordered a birthday pitcher of beer. We're talking concert level loudness at 4:30 on a Thursday. I've been to this restaurant on 4 other occasions. They have a huge creative menu with new and novel menu items. We sat next to the kitchen in a both, the restaurant was on the colder side. The fans in the kitchen had the exhaust fans on high. Sadly on this visit we couldn't get out of there fast enough, due to the music volume. This is sad because I was really looking forward to catching up with a friend over a nice meal. We couldn't hear each other over the concert level loudness.

Diner Review №14

Very tasty pad kee mao. Super spicy and loved the egg mixed in.

Diner Review №15

A fun and colorful Thai dining experience. The service was friendly. The white Tom Yum soup was excellent and very appetizing. The Pad See Eiw was good. However, the Yum Mama was too sweet for me and the Satay Chicken was a bit dry. The Thai iced tea was also quite sweet, though enjoyable. Overall, it's a decent spot with a great atmosphere, especially if you enjoy sweeter Thai flavors.

Loved the spicy dish from the street of Thailand.

Diner Review №19

This is a fun place, music is really loud so I’d suggest earplugs if you’re sensitive to that. This is not the place for you if you’re trying to catch up with a friend that’s in town, you’re going to have to yell to hear each other. But if it’s casual, and you’d want to dance and sing along, this is the place to be. Also, I’d maybe suggest dressing up a bit, this place seems to be a great place to meet people. The concept of the restaurant is true Thailand streets where it’s busy and exciting.

The food. Food is delicious. Beware of the spice level, because it is on the spicier side. A level 3 star will get your mouth begging for that water refill. I got the phad see ew noodles, kao mun gai, and tom Kha soup. Loved the Tom Kha soup the best.

Diner Review №26

Horrible service and below average food. We ate here in a group, and got seated in an area without heat. We asked the waiter to turn the heater on at least 3 times, but no one did anything. The waiter kept missing/forgetting our drink orders.
The chicken skewers were as dry as jerky.
At the end, our table was forced to pay a 20% gratuity even though the service sucked.
I’d never come back to this place after this experience.

We attended on Sunday night with a party of 7. We were seated rigs away although the restaurant was very busy.. service was fast,, portions were just right with a large variety of dishes to choose from..

Diner Review №31

What a cute place! The owner was very sweet and got my friend a bandaid since she had got a cut on the way there. We split the crab delights, the kao moo dang moo Krob (crispy pork belly and BBQ pork), and the kao soi chiang mai (curried noodles). Everything was great and the portions were generous! Would definitely come here again.

Diner Review №33

Cute place with great throwback music, good Thai food, and ample seating. happy hour is 4-6 daily and has decent appetizers and drinks! Went for appetizers and had the spring rolls, fried tofu, green beans (vegetarian options). Green beans were exceptional- and I’ve never cared for them before!

Diner Review №34

Soooo good!

Diner Review №35

The vibes of this place are very fun. Great for a birthday or a fun group of friends, the service was so quick even though the restaurant was packed. Great menu and everything we ordered was great.

Diner Review №36

I get the appeal-Thai night market street food..dirty floor..vibrant decor..loud & noisy..food served in plastic & aluminum plates/cups. I think those things are passable after a night of drinking and you want comfort food and a fun place to hangout with friends. But the food is mediocre at its best.

Diner Review №37

I really appreciate the unique flavors of Thai food. The way the spices, herbs, and fresh ingredients come togethe. Recommended 👍

Best Thai restaurant. They have everything delicious. My favorite is crying tiger

Diner Review №42

One of the few places you can get a genuinely spicy dish in the neighborhood. Fun cocktails and a cool vibe. Also a great outside spot when the weather allows!

Diner Review №43

They added a 40% service fee to the order with no explanation, the servers were extremely rude. The was fine but not incredible. They are thieves and mean about it. DO NOT EAT HERE

Diner Review №44

Went here on friend's suggestion and loved it. The atmosphere is amazing and the food is amazing as well. Had their Drunken Noodles and Mango Sticky Rice.

Music = bangers
Food = banger, especially the papaya salad
Drinks = bangers
Atmosphere = amazing
Shout out to the kitchen and the food runners who were HUSTLING. We got all of our food very quickly and our waitress was fantastic.

Diner Review №49

Great place for dining out to enjoy the vibe. Food is good but overpriced as part of Seattle life. Disappointing service from our mattress that didn’t show friendliness or thoughtfulness or smile that we’d appreciate.

Diner Review №51

Food & drinks are absolutely amazing. We’ve come back multiple times because of how the standout cocktails and appetizers!! the atmosphere is great, service can depend on who you get but today we had the best service to date! would recommend to anyone who’s looking for great food and fun atmosphere!

Diner Review №52

Our go-to Thai spot in the Seattle area. They have a decent happy hour menu and the food comes out quickly! Love the vibes - especially when they play 2000’s R&B! We love the drunken noodles and panang curry!

Diner Review №61

Since returning from Bangkok, I had a strong craving for a Thai restaurant here that served as authentic dishes as I had grown accustomed to. Bangrak Market exceeds my expectations, and I have since become a regular. The atmosphere and decor certainly has a nostalgic feel. It can get a little noisy, but the staff have always been kind enough to turn down the volume a little when asked. I especially like it when they are plating Thai ballads, which really brings everything together.

Diner Review №62

This place was great, the food was very good(I had roast chicken and sticky rice) the staff were all extremely friendly and helpful, the prices for what I received were also very good. Honestly my only complaint was that nam pla prik didn’t have enough chilis but that is a very small complaint.

Diner Review №71

We came to celebrate a birthday and ordered 12 dishes for 8 people. All of the food literally came out within less than 10 min!!!! The quality was great! The flavors were like being in Bangkok again!

Diner Review №72

I think the food is pretty good, I like the pineapple chicken fried rice. But the service I think could be better. And the music is very loud😭

Diner Review №73

Great vibe, food was good. A bit crowded but that’s a part of it all.

Diner Review №74

It is very good restaurant as Thai street food. Hearty and soothing noodle soup, highly recommend for a cold gloomy day. The pad Thai is good but not exceptional. The crying tiger- steak, which is thin marinated strip streak, tastes fantastic. We also had dessert- mango sticky rice, considering maybe the mango is not in the season, the mango is hard and sour but the sticky rice is standardly good. The appetizer papaya salad is always good option. The chicken satay and green beans are well worthy it for its price as happy hour meal.

With a craving for Thai food, we came here for dinner on a Friday night. The vibe was loud and fun with some of the 2000s greatest party hits coming across the sound system. When we, in the interest of economics, ordered a beer bucket, it came with a sparkler.

Once we got our food, it was fantastic. I particularly liked the satay. The portion sizes were also great and I left with another meal for the next day.

Diner Review №79

The rumors are true! This place is legit! The food we got here is some of be l the best Thai food I've ever had. The Kai soi was incredible and my dinner date got pad see ew and that's was phenomenal too. Portions were very generous and everything tasted fresh and vibrant.

Very loud, but very delicious thai food near Bell Town. Good, fairly quick service for late night eats.

Diner Review №82

Too loud

Diner Review №83

Sooo good! Fun atmosphere! Love it

Diner Review №84

Dined here as they had many vegan options.

They have a menu that indicates what can be made vegan. Request accordingly. I tried their pineapple rice and drunken noodles. Both were tasty. The only thing I disliked was the amount of oil used in the cooking. It made the food more like fast food.

Overall ambiance is very cool, nice staff. Would recommend it !

Diner Review №85

Loved the vibes. The place is open till late, and many people come here to celebrate their birthdays. If I'd lived in Seattle, I would've wanted to celebrate my birthday here, too. I personally liked the section on the left because of the music -- it was a bit too loud in the middle section. The food came in large portions, and I liked their Tom Yum Nam Sai.

Diner Review №86

Super fun atmosphere and really good food! My go to is the crying tiger or the kao pad kaprao. Drinks are also fantastic - the passionfruit margarita is my fave.

Diner Review №87

The waiters here are always very kind to me and my fiancé and immediately seat us at wheelchair-accessible tables when we enter. We've gone many times, for anniversaries, birthdays, and just when we wanted a nice meal, and everything we've ordered has always been absolutely fantastic. I absolutely LOVE this restaurant! Their food is amazingly flavorful and the service is wonderful.

Diner Review №91

Tl;dr: food is mid, forgotten by server

Food: Portions are huge (pro!) but over eating and feeling sickly afterwards was an issue here.
-Pad kee mao was delicious
-Kao mun gai was below average; chicken was incredibly dry and the broth was lukewarm white pepper flavored water. You can find better at most other Thai restaurants.
-Thai tea was a little weak
-Black sticky rice & black bean was yums

Service: We asked to be seated in the empty main dining room but were told it was too hot since AC wasn’t running. We were directed instead to a tiny table sandwiched between the bar, window seats, and the hostess station. Within ~15 mins of us sitting down other guests were being seated in the main dining area. Our initial server (who turned us away from the main tables) took over in the main dining area, leaving us without a server for the rest of our meal. No one replaced him as our server and we were left waiting some time for the check/dessert order. Being forgotten and stuck in a cramped space when there were plenty of open tables sucked.

Atmosphere: Fun if you’re drunk, weird if you’re sober. Amazing decor. Music was sometimes upbeat thai pop, sometimes straight up club beats. Good luck having a conversation over the volume if you’re sitting inside around the bar area.

Overall uncomfortable and unsatisfactory experience eating here at 5:45pm, probably won’t come back and don’t get the hype beyond decor

Diner Review №92

Food was pretty good, but the music so obnoxiously loud it made the overall experience not great. Maybe take away only.

Diner Review №93

Great Thai food in a cool atmosphere. You get plenty of food!

It’s another hyped up place in Seattle. Food is not too bad but the service is slow. I am not sure if I would go back.

Diner Review №96

Diner Review №97

I immediately liked this place, every person in the place looked happy. The atmosphere and food are both great.

Diner Review №98

Best Thai restaurant I’ve ever been too in my entire life so far in Washington. The beef pad kee mao (drunken noodle) was on a new level highly recommend it.

Diner Review №99

Want to be transported to the night markets of Thailand? You may not have to fly as far as you think because Bangrak Market delivers an extraordinary experience on the night market vibes. With bright colored rainbow pillars, colorful baskets cascading down from the ceiling, rainbow parasols abound, and with wooden booth and pergola topped seating areas, the restaurant is visual eye-candy.

As you meander through the pockets of seating areas, friendly servers greet you, and you will get drawn in by the high-vibe pop music. If you stay long enough, you may be lucky enough to hear a "bumping" techno-like version of "Happy Birthday". It played 5-6 times during our hour and a half visit, and I got tricked 3 times into thinking it was a trendy pop song that I wanted to dance to.

The menu is overwhelming and exciting. With easily close to one hundred options, it's hard to decide what's good here. The dishes I had the pleasure of trying are:

1) Fresh Coconut Drink - okay, this isn't a "dish", but I love Thai places with this drink. Nothing more tropical than drinking from a coconut! Unlike Young coconuts, the flesh is former (but still delicious) and the juice is not as sweet, but the drink is still refreshing and delightful. The drink is topped with a cute flower. They also have an incredible lychee-based alcoholic drink.

2) Pad Thai - the pad thai was quite flavorful and on the wetter, slightly sweeter end of pad thais. Tasty, but I tend to prefer more savory and tangy than sweeter tones in my pad thai.

3) Kao Kaprao Moo a medley of Thai holy basil, garlic chili, green beans with ground pork poured over jasmine rice. The meat was tender, which is hard to achieve with ground meat, and the garlic-basil combo took my taste buds for a delightful ride. Highlight of the entrees.

4) Crying Tiger - nice and tender meat. Hard to go wrong!

5) Som Tum Poo - spicy papaya salad with salty baby rock crabs. This is a unique dish you'd have a hard time finding at most common Thai places. It's salty, spicy, tangy, with a little of the sweetness from the crab meat (you suck out the juices/meat from the baby shell). If you love raw marinated crab or you haven't tried it but you are a little adventurous, it's actually quite delicious. It has the "good" pungent-ness but those with very delicate sensitivities may want to go for the standard papaya salad!

6) Desserts - the mango sticky rice as well as the black sticky rice with Thai coconut custard were delicious. There was one piece of slightly sour mango that threw off the final moments a bit, but the sticky rice was giving ooey, gooey and warm. Delicious. But the Thai coconut custard took our coconut-y flavors to new heights. The custards are like flan-textured slices of coconut that delicately melted in your mouth with the warm black sticky rice. A new favorite.

Tourists and locals alike can have an incredible adventure exploring a slice of Thailand in this pocket of Seattle. If not just for the incredible atmosphere, but also for some tasty bites and for some, to fulfill your late night munchie dreams, Bangrak Market is worth a visit.

Diner Review №100

Amazing apps and cocktails, mains were disappointing

Diner Review №101

It's completely unreasonable that one Thai restaurant should be so much better than everything else around it, but it is. Worthy of note they also make the best mojito in Seattle and it's not even close.

We dined in on Friday evening starting at 5:30 pm, just before happy hour ended (6pm). Good thing since there was a lot of people waiting to get in by the time we left, around 7. The cocktails were delicious and the food was amazing. We were seated in the side restaurant, which was chilly but warmed up quickly as it filled up with people. The music was great as well as the service. The food came out quickly. One in our party scored street parking right out front while the rest of us parked in a paid lot directly behind the restaurant. We will definitely go back. Try it!

Diner Review №105

Kaprao was so good, thank you!

Diner Review №106

What a great place and awesome find! I went as a last minute decision and literally just said whatever I’m going here. I will definitely be going back! The food was amazing, the service was great, the atmosphere is soooo fun and the drinks were tasty. I really loved the spice level (got the spiciest) since both flavor and spicy. I can’t wait to check it out again.

Diner Review №107

What a great place, great atmosphere and delicious food. We visited and will be back.

Food was very middle of the road. It definitely wasn’t bad but personally a bit flavorless compared to other places. Ordered 4 different items and they were all okay flavor wise. Just a bit bland and tasteless.

Food was amazing. Street food was nice and spicy. Be prepared for little louder than usual music

Diner Review №114

Great food but oh my god is this place loud. I’m close to losing my voice because I had to YELL to talk to my friend. Everytime I thought the music was getting softer, they just continued to BLAST it. If it wasn’t for the music, I’d give this place 5 stars.

If you arent comfortable with an environment where you’re basically sitting next to a speaker the whole time…DO NOT COME.

We dined at Bangrak Market and ordered basil fried rice with chicken at spice level 4, a dish we’ve enjoyed before. However, this time it seemed they didn’t cook it with the spices, just topped it with excessive chili flakes. When we shared our feedback, the server took the dish away but returned only with the bill instead of offering an exchange. The server was very rude, and we left highly disappointed—definitely won’t be returning.

Diner Review №123

Super yum! They had items on the menu that you don't normally see at American Thai restaurants, and they taste great.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. Always lively and full of people and vibes. The food is awesome. I highly recommend this place if you are in the city. Parking is a pain usually but that is anywhere you try and park in Downtown at all.

Diner Review №128

Great flavorful food lots of options to choose from for vegetarians as well. The service was quick. Love the ambience.

Diner Review №129

My Asian tastes are satisfied by this place.
We ordered crying tiger, Karpao (spicy level 4), boat noodles (spicy level 3), shrimps and mango sticky rice. All tastes good. Street food vibe, don’t wear any cashmere here!

Diner Review №130

Diner Review №131

Great restaurant visually, but food & service are both very subpar.

I've been to Thailand numerous times and the food here is far from perfect. There's not much better in the area so I can understand why there's usually a long waitlist to get in.

Service gets 1 star from me. Our waitress did essentially nothing she's supposed to - she put down cutlery, plates, cups and a bottle of water in front of me and asked me to hand them out to everyone. The cups were dirty and had not been cleaned.

During our order she told me to hurry up as she has other people waiting to take their order too. When our starters came out she put the bill on the table and asked for our card, we hadn't even had time to get desserts and we'd sat down for 20 minutes maximum.

Then when we finally got our bill (after we had to get permission to order dessert) the suggested tips are calculated after tax without any message to say this. Minimum tip of 18% after tax is close to a 30% tip for a service that my pet gerbil would have done better.

Won't be going back.

Service was quite fast, even though it was packed food came pretty quickly. Pad thai wasn’t something special, prawn skewers were really good. Overall the music was a bit loud then usual and the choice of music really didn’t match the vibe imo.

Don’t forget to make a reservation since you may have to wait out in the street to have seat.

Boisterous fun atmosphere!!! Service on point, Food is amazing and full of flavor . I love showing people this place. It's worth a try . Sometimes, there is a short waiting list, but there are several other spots to explore right outside in the meantime.

Diner Review №145

This place has an excellent atmosphere but the food left much to be desired. We got the Tom yum soup with seafood but it was mostly mushroom and not too much seafood. We also got a papaya salad and it was good but nothing noteworthy. The noodles were ok as well. This restaurant is very cute inside and they play loud, club like music. There were some fruit flies and one landed on our salad so they offered to remake it which was nice!

Diner Review №146

Recently, I had an unpleasant dining experience at this restaurant. Despite our request for a spice level of 4, the food was excessively spicy and lacked flavor. It appeared that an excessive amount of chili flakes were added to the dish in an attempt to increase the spice level(I marked and tagged the images below). As we had recommended this restaurant to our friends, we were disappointed and embarrassed by the poor quality of the food. Hopefully, they will maintain their usual standards every day in the future .

May 2024 Review :
Rating - 5/5
We ordered Kao Sou Chiang Mai, Kao Pad Kaprao, Pad See Eiw, Pad Kee Mao, Kao Neaw Ma Muang. All of them were ordered with spice level 4. Everything we ate is tasted amazing. The spice level is exactly what we expected for all the dishes😋

Kao Neaw Ma Muang is also known as Mango Sticky Rice, is delicious. The coconut flavor in the topping and the freshness of the mango created an explosion of taste in the mouth.

They have vegetarian/vegan options in their menu.

Diner Review №147

Festive atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating. The grilled prawns were sooooo good. My pad see ew was a bit too salty and saucy for me. My friend had the kao soi and said it was legit. Would come back to try more dishes. Everyone spoke Thai but the food might not be wholly authentic as they asked spice level for pad see ew (it’s never spicy) and provided chopsticks (only fork and spoon in Thailand!).

Diner Review №148

Diner Review №149

It is such a happy looking place! Can't wait to come back and try more.

Pad Mama had a good variety of vegetables: broccoli, onions, baby corn, carrots, cauliflower and tomato.

Note: Blue Lotus, was the designated happy hour cocktail when I went. It is tangy and made with gin.

Diner Review №150

A unique Thai street style experience with background EDM music. Amazing food and dessert.

Diner Review №151

Diner Review №152

What a fantastic place, the vibe is energetic and the food was to die for. Don't skip the green beans and everything is was equally as good. Could eat here every day! And the cocktails are fun and perfectly crafted. Watch your ticket as 20% tip was added.

Diner Review №153

I thought i had a reservation but apparently they have to review and approve it and that never happened (over 30 hours) so my group arrives and has to wait an hour to get seated. Then they forget our appetizers and lastly, the short rib Tam Zack soup was dull and flavorless. Also, why put short rib in a soup?

Pad Thai and satay chicken were soo good. Recommend.

Diner Review №162

The food is good! As a Thai food lover, I would say it was authentic (I had the Pad See Eiw), the thai tea is also very nice. Portion was big enough to keep me full until dinnertime🤭 I love the music they play! Makes me feel like I’m in Thailand.

However, I came during opening hour. I sat by the high chair by the window and there was unpleasant smell. I’m not sure why, after I ordered I wanted to move seat but one of the waiter behind the bar just immediately said that I can’t because I already made an order! I wish she would ask me why I wanted to change seat first🥲

However it’s ok! Still a pleasant experience due to the food ❤️

Diner Review №163

Excellent food! So delicious. Highly recommend. Happy hour from 4-6pm. Upbeat vibe.

Really recommend the boat noodle and crab delight. Both were delicious and an excellent price during happy hour.

Be sure to ask about which drinks are included in the happy time drink deals - the menu makes it look like all drinks are included, but it is a drink that has been selected by the bartender. Ended up paying for a full price drink, but I probably would have gone with the happy hour drink had I known.

Despite that, still really enjoyed this restaurant and would highly recommend it!

Diner Review №165

the decor is cool but the music was straight up awful - overpoweringly loud and annoying tiktok music remixes. what a bizzare choice?? the service was very inattentive; it took forever for simple requests like getting the bill or a to go box. when we finally flagged down our server she seemed indignant and annoyed. the food was just okay and more expensive than many authentic thai places in the area. the fried fish was really dry and the pra rama was soggy. the drinks tasted overly sweet and artificial. definitely not the fresh authentic experience we were expecting. overall cannot recommend when there’s a plethora of better thai places in the area.

Diner Review №166

Nice vibe in the place, but my main arrived before my chicken satay appetizer, which was cold and dry. The main dish was ok, but overall didn’t seem like they were trying very hard.

Pad see ew & pad kee mao were made very well, so delicious! Noodles had a nice firm chew to it and although they’re very similar they were distinctly their own dish. Som tum Thai (green papaya salad with nuts) was nice and refreshing, salad was nice and crisp as well as the papaya. Nuts gave it a good balance of texture (wet vs Dey crunch). The fried chicken knuckles was alright/ordinary to me (personally I thought it was a bit dry and had too much of a hard crunchiness, if they were softer knuckles maybe it’d be manageable for me to eat) but the guys loved it! The Chiang Mai sausage was full of different spices, a bit much for me but it was okay in occasional small amounts throughout the meal (again the guys devoured it haha) The moo grob (fried potbelly) portion and size of the chunks was good, the fatty part was rich and delicious! The leaner meat side however was a bit chewier that I would prefer. Served piping out which was appreciated 🤤 Beware: the sauce is spicy! (And I was say I have pretty high spice tolerance if I do say so myself 😆🌶️) Drinks were fun and creative! Can’t quite remember exactly what each of them were called but I think it was lychee w/ dragonfruit, a creamy (horchata/rum chata?) with coconut milk whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles, pineapple with tequila(?) and mint/lime. All drinks were very unique and refreshing. Last pic/video were shots given to us on the house! The sparkler was a fun touch! 🎇 Fun experience! It was a bit cold though (the semi-outdoor area) and loud. Music is good but all the customers seemed to need to shout over each other to hear one another 😅 but I guess one could think of that counting as part of the street experience? 🤷🏻‍♀️ (only pic not shown was the mango sticky rice 🥭 🍚 finished it too fast since it was good, remembered I should’ve taken a pic too late lol 😂)

I had a really great experience here the other day. I travel to Seattle for work often and am always looking for a really great place to eat that is delicious without a crazy wait and this place more than blew away my expectations. I had their massuman curry and a thai iced tea and the thai iced tea was a little on the sweeter side but the curry was spot on! They allow you to choose your preferred spicy level (1-5; 5 being the spiciest) and I chose a 2 (wimp status) but it was perfect for me!! Service was great and they have such an epic ambiance in the restaurant. It felt like I was in a little street market in Thaliand! Overall will be coming back here again and again!

I hated the way I was treated. I had my friend’s bday and I wanted to celebrate there(as I saw there is some good celebration). I told the waiter I wanted a good celebration for about 4 to 5 times. But in spite of all of that and paying all the money for it. I got a bare minimum of it and I saw there was some partiality for some people inside where there was a really good celebration in front of my friend. I hated that partiality and it was so embracing for me. Please know how to treat customers equally.

I have only done takeout here, so take that as you will. Everything I've gotten here has been delicious. Reason for 4 stars is green beans could be cooked a little more (though we arrived early so maybe they hurried a little) and no rice with the meat dishes. Absolutely delicious though. My friend said the indoor/outdoor area is kinda gas-y in the winter though, but takeout is great. Still thinking about the crying tiger!

So tired after a day of traveling and walking the city. Got a basic chicken pad tai but it was sooo good!

Food comparable with anything I'd grab in Pattaya. Simply 🤌. Cocktails were on point, beer was cold and service was with a smile. Solid local Thai food spot. Definitely add to your "don't miss" list.

Great authentic thai food! The serving was so much that I ate my pad thai for lunch and dinner. The ambience is also cool that youll feel like youre in asia. The place is a gem. I do give 3 stars for the service since it’s hard to get the attention of the server and my colleague ordered a lime juice but never got it.

Stopped in and had a fantastic lunch! Service was great and attentive.

Ordered the Chicken Pad Thai (spice 6) and Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodle) and the Garden Spring Rolls with tofu. Everything was phenomenal and tasted authentic. You can tell they use tamarind paste and dried shrimp in the Pad Thai instead of peanut butter. Definitely coming back next time we visit Seattle!

Dog friendly patio with delicious food. Authentic flavours.

Absolutely disgusted by the food and the service. We came for my birthday diner, ordered a Khao Soi and drunken noodles. As per our religion, I am vegetarian by birth and explicitly asked the waitress if those dishes are available as vegan, to which she answered positively. All good so far, food came. Drunken noodles were fine, but after some time we found out a piece of meat in the khao soi (photo attached). We mentioned this point to the waitress, the manager came, argued unnecessarily about our religion and mentioned that « we people should go to vegan restaurant and not come to eat Thai ». This is offensive for all us Indians who are vegetarian by birth, and seeing that a restaurant in the PNW has such less tolerance and respect for customers and their believes is outrageous. To Bangrak managers - Being intolerant to a religion is is not ok, and if you run a service business you should be listening to what customers ask for, and be sure to fulfill the requested order without making religious/belief based comments.

Jam packed tourist trap. Lines were too long to try the food. Service in the shops was the best (the model shop) and worst (the polish pottery shop). If you enjoy the true tourist experience, this is your place. You can stand in line here all day and over pay until your debit card cuts you off.

Probably my favorite Thai restaurant in seattle! I was most excited by my proximity to Bangrak when my husband and I recently moved to Belltown. I always try and bring out-of-towners to Bangrak when we have friends/family from out of town!

Diner Review №191

This place is pretty solid! If you are looking for a loud and live environment while enjoying some tasty Thai dishes, this is the spot. Service can use a little work. It took a while for our waiter to take our drink order and they do not check on you pretty often. They were nice overall though. It was a busy Saturday night.

Best Thai restaurant in Seattle. Must try their khao soi

One of my favorite places to celebrate and bring friends when they visit Seattle. They environment feels like you’re automatically transported to Thailand and the food taste better than anything on up this far north.

Diner Review №196

Great place for Thai in general, and a fantastic spot for late night food.

Diner Review №197

Why so loud?? One of my favorite places but came in for food on a Wednesday and we couldn’t even eat there because they were blaring night club music at full blast.

Diner Review №198

It’s a shame for such a cute place as I don’t really like to write negative reviews. Definitely not a good place to have a peaceful meal since music is pretty loud. Awful service but that could be just one waiter so I don’t want to generalize to their entire staff. About the food quality, I’ve had much better.

Tuesday night only 30 min wait for a party of 4.

The menu was massive, will take a few visits to figure out what’s good.

We ordered drunken noodle, red curry, crispy pork belly, and grilled steak. The atmosphere is great, can be loud for quiet eaters.

Diner Review №200

We had amazing prawns, satay chicken and kao soi. The vibe is of a Thai market with amazing music. They didn’t have any ice creams unfortunately. Would come again to try more items on the menu.
