Casual, cozy downstairs restaurant serving classic Thai dishes with a focus on seafood & vegetables.
This place was pretty decent, not the best Thai food but not terrible either. Staff was friendly, easy to order, and it was clean.
We had Panang, which was amazing, yellow curry fried rice which was good, and spicy basil noodles which was just okay.
Spice levels are amazing 1-3, we had a 2 and it wasn't very spicy.
Overall worth coming here if you want Thai
I am a committed local to this restaurant, and their fresh rolls fuel my every pre Exam study sesh. The staff is wonderful and welcoming, and a visit a little Thai feels like coming home to a Cozy place where all are welcome. 110% recommend the fresh rolls with peanut sauce, and get an extra one of the peanut sauces, you won’t regret it :-)
Restaurant has nice vibes, but the food fell short of expectations. I ordered the curry, hoping for a flavorful, rich dish, but was disappointed to find that it tasted incredibly watered down. It lacked the depth and spice you’d expect in Thai cuisine, leaving it bland and lacking the usual kick. While some dishes were decent, the overall flavors felt inconsistent.
The food is great and gets ready in few minutes, the service is amazing and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming.

Very few people eats here. Good was very expensive. Not ideal for students. Portion was small too

Nice place. Quick service, good food. Kind of a hole in the wall location, but that’s part of the charm. Will happily return when I’m back in Seattle.
Their Pad See Ew (5 level spicy) and Thai iced tea is amazing!
The perfect spot for when you're hungry. We had rice and noodles, as well as tofu and chicken in a tasty peanut sauce. The service was quick and the waiters made us feel at home.
Very good Thai restaurant, food is amazing, hot and fresh. Service is so quick, it took less than 5 minutes to get my order
Stumbled upon them after a nearby restaurant had soy in every menu item. These folks made everything fresh and were careful not to include soy, gluten, and dairy, per our party's allergies. Everything was delicious and the service was kind and attentive. Great price, too.
Super Nice Owner and Manager. One nice waitress the other is blunt outspoken and rude
Delicious food and great atmosphere. The quality is consistent and the portions are very good for the price compared to other places!
Best Thai food in the city. Will post pictures the next time I go here
Website says they are open. We took the light rail and they were closed. Disappointing. Wanted to warn others.
Consistently good over the last 2-3 decades
I've been going to Little Thai for at least 15 years, sometimes more than once a week. The food and service have always been great. The food comes very quickly, and I can honestly say I've never had a bad meal here, even when they are super busy. Little Thai holds a special place in my heart.
If you aren't sure what to get, try their Yellow Curry Fried Rice, Green Curry Fried Rice, Panang Curry, Massaman Curry, or if you're feeling adventurous: Khoa Ga Pow Kai Dow. It's impossible to go wrong with any of those!
Above and beyond service! I ordered a young coconut water to go without knowing it came in an actual coconut. I was traveling by bike, so the server prepared it for safe transport. Such great service from Maria <333
This Thai place is phenomenal. The prices are great, the quantity of food you receive is good, and the service was excellent. The food was served quickly and was very flavourful. The serving staff was very courteous, definitely recommend this place
I normally don't order from Thai places(noticed it's only Thai, not all, bt too many) who charge u 17+ for entree and no rice, for rice... I paid $35 for mediocre food w small portions & no rice... Very disappointed..
I honestly can't believe the food I received today from this place. I am newly pregnant and hungry, so I overlooked the fact that the combination fried rice had more bean sprouts than rice. I ordered to go, but my toddler wanted to eat there, so I unpacked the food there. The fish green curry (which I normally buy green curry because it is sweet and not spicy) and she asked me on a scale of 1-3 what level of spicy. It seemed right to say 2.
When I got to the curry, I noticed a crap load of chili paste at the bottom of the soup and it wasn't the normal green, but a darker color, meaning there was entirely too much chili paste in the soup. I assume she saw that I ordered for both my toddler, so I was upset when I took a small taste from the soup and my tongue started burning. It literally seared my tongue. In fact, my tongue is still hurting and I know it would have harmed my daughter's, as well.
I asked them to remake it, but now that I am home, I can't fathom coming back to that place because that was not what I paid for. I really want my tip back and my money for service, but this honest, horrible review will suffice.
Cozy neighborhood fixture.
Can’t get the food right for the life of them. Id call this a thai fusion because it’s not authentic thai
It was alright. Got the hot/spicy but it wasn't that hot. Only place I've been to that adds rice or noodles to Swimming Rama, but then if you want rice with your curry you have to pay extra for it... make it make sense.
The food is authentic and inexpensive!
Worst green curry I’ve ever had. Other items might be good.
I come here all the time and it's really good.
Reliably tasty food and friendly staff. The salmon with green beans and red curry was outstanding!!
This place was pretty decent, not the best Thai food but not terrible either. Staff was friendly, easy to order, and it was clean.
We had Panang, which was amazing, yellow curry fried rice which was good, and spicy basil noodles which was just okay.
Spice levels are amazing 1-3, we had a 2 and it wasn't very spicy.
Overall worth coming here if you want Thai
Nice clean place, good food and service.
TRY LITTLE THAI. PERIOD. TRY IT.
Special, sacred, and family owned. Little Thai is a U-district staple and the most popular Thai food place in the area; if you don’t know then you’re out of the loop.
This amazing place located downstairs from street level transports you to a special place meant for juicy conversation, brainstorming, academics, and a positive connection with this family-owned establishment. Need to feel seen and appreciated in Seattle? This is the place! Nestle yourself into one of their vibe-lit booths and reflect on the pleasures of life.
This is somewhere you can find UW football players, students in need of comfort, first dates, and so many more fruitful people of Seattle (and BEYOND!!).
If you’re intelligent , you’ll immediately order the fried spring rolls and finish off your meal with the black sticky rice pudding.
Make a forever connection at this restaurant and only experience the most detailed and comforting experience.
Delicious chickens satay, desserts, noodle dishes, and curry.
Probably everything you were longing for!
Great food easy location if you take light rail it is only a block away
Fabulous lunch. Just perfect for a work getaway.
Incredible hidden gem of a place! The food is quite authentically prepared, freshly made and delicious 😋
A very cozy restaurant in the lower floor. The food is good, quick and value for money. The staff is welcoming and nice to talk. You can't go wrong with this restaurant in UDistrict.
Perfect place. Staff was super lovely, food was great. Got the all-day special with tofu which was awesome, good variety of food and portions for a good price. Great vegetarian options and apps too. Will definitely be my go-to Thai spot in the UD ♥
This was the BEST Thai food I’ve ever had! The service was excellent and the the staff was so kind. All of the dishes were so flavorful and the food was really authentic. Highly recommend this restaurant to everyone!!! The Tom Kha soup and mango sticky rice were especially delicious
Disappointed. I stopped in for dinner while visiting UW. I love Thai food, and I ordered Tom Yum soup with shrimp. The soup tasted like salty metal, and it was otherwise flavorless and a dark color. After bringing the soup, the server started talking to the family beside me for a full 20 minutes and paid no attention to me or any of the other customers. She never budged from her conversation, and she didn't even look around. Initially, I was waiting for her to return so I could order something else, but she didn't move. I could see the kitchen staff looking at her and I made eye contact with them - it seemed like they noticed but no one said anything. I finally walked up to the register - there was a person helping a customer with a takeout order and I waited. The cashier walked away from the register and didn't offer to help me. I stood there for at least 5 more minutes and then the server finally came to the register. I paid and left hungry. I will not eat here again. There are so many other wonderful options nearby.
their food is amazing and good value unlike arayas place. this place has pad thai that isnt drenched in bottled ketchup and still charges less. i never should have gone somewhere else.
Always fresh and flavorful. Great friendly staff and service. Okay
Good service and tasty food.
Bustling place in the U District with amazing food! My husband and I both ate to being full and had dessert for less than $30 - amazing in Seattle! This is our favorite Thai place in town, hubs has been coming here since his college days in the 2010’s. The service is good for how busy they are, and the servers/wait staff are friendly. Don’t listen to the haters this restaurant is bomb!
No compassion or empathy with their customer service and the food was not good. It was pre-made and microwaved within a minute of the order being placed. Lastly, the broccoli tasted like seafood after specifying no seafood/ shrimp in the order.
The best Pad Thai in Seattle!! I've been coming here for this for 20+ years!! Great service, wonderful people!!
Little Thai is located in Udistrict and is a go to place for many students at UW. The restaurant is located in basement and is a nice place gran lunch. They have vegetarian friendly options. Their stick mango rice are great, just perfect amount of sweet!
Good food with lots of vegetarian options s and reasonable price. Must go for Thai cuisine in u district. Checkout their desserts.
Panang curry and spring rolls were bomb! Plus everything was very reasonably priced which is rare for Seattle. The people who served us were very friendly, overall great chill vibe.
The food was deliciously flavorful! 😋Will definitely make it my place to go next time I’m in the area!!!
I've been here twice. Both times I enjoyed the food and the price is right per plate. The atmosphere is pleasantly surprising. Very comfy and cozy, there is a really nice vibe despite it being down a few steps off the sidewalk. I'm going to become a regular, it's just a nice walk away from my yacht club.
The waitress took incorrect order, they didn't understand English and chose to assume an incorrect dish. They admitted this happened and yet they denied giving us the actual dish in replacement.
Even the food was flavor less and lacked spiciness.
Horrible service
Bad service, rude staff, terrible food
Horrible service
Really tasty food, but the portion was small.
Went to see the cherry blossom trees at Washington university. My son told me there was this Thai restaurant with the best food, he said because it’s by the college the prices are very affordable. Best Pad Thai I’ve e ever had and yes, the price is a lot less than in the city.
Decent lunch spot. Slightly hard to find as it’s on Brooklyn and not on the Ave. Fairly crowded at lunch so do not recommend for intimate conversations as it can be hard to hear. Had the chicken panang curry which had decent flavor and good spice (**)
10 usd for nice phad see lew. Never tried the other dishes but I personally find their phad see lew to be the best.
In the past I've liked their combo plate of Thai curry and pad Thai - quantity and taste-wise .
However, I ordered their drunken noodle today and it was soaked in oil and was quite a small portion size. Disappointed!
I attached a photo of the oil present even *after* eating the noodles.
I can only afford a side of curry and rice every now and then but they remembered my order from 7 months ago. Fantastic service and even better food ❤️
Great place for Thai food in U District. While the degree of spiciness definitely can vary from dish to dish (eg I've had medium level spicy Pad Thai that tasted like nothing compared to the medium level spicy Panang Curry). Still, it has large portions for a good price and great vegetarian options. The space is neat and great to dine in with multiple people.
Love their fresh rolls and swimming rama. You can ask for a huge portion of additional peanut sauce (that is fantastic here) for $2
Spicy seafood salad is fantastic!
Ownership takes great pride in the quality of the ingredients they provide!
I have been enjoying their food for over 5 years and it's always great!
Great food and fast service.
Ordered almost $80 of food. They left it outside on the sidewalk, didn’t call me and someone else took it. I have not received a refund.
food is really nice here. Both noodles and fish are really good
Pad Thai and Chow Mein were mediocre, wouldn't choose to eat there again.
Filling and hearty food located at the basement ~ ambience needs a lot of improvement.
Grilled pork was delicious.
Solid choice for dinner or lunch. As a vegetarian I appreciated the large amount of choices that were available for me to pick from. I ended up getting a pad thai with tofu and it was really good! service was quick. cozy atmosphere and affordable prices. would recommend.
One of fav places to eat. Yuummmmmiiiiiii
I've been going to this restaurant regularly for about a year now, and it may not be a world class place but it is a place where the food and service is excellent, as well as affordable for college students. For students on west campus, this is a place which you could visit forever and not get tired of the food.
Best thai food I've had in Seattle!
Good portions, delivered quickly, but the pad see iew was bland. It just tasted bitter and spicy, no salty or sweet flavors at all.
The fried spring rolls and the cha Thai were good though, which balances out the rating.
Nasty soggy noodles
Food was delicious and the staff were very nice!
My favorite Thai restaurant. I've been coming here since I was little. The food is fantastic and the owner has become something like family
Friendly staff, great food at a competitive price. Check the daily special. If you're getting food to go, the fish tank has a cute theme going for it.
Quick and yummy 😋
Happiness is a fresh hot bowl of tom kha gai with extra lime and some fragrant jasmine rice on the side.
Little Thai Restaurant is a great little place.
Very yummy, flavorful food, perfect portion and made super fast and fresh. Worth going if you want more traditional style Thai food.
Food was excellent
Service was good
Bathrooms were due for a DEEP cleaning
This was the worst pad se ew. The rice noodles were in giant chunks all stuck together, dry in the center, soggy on the outside. The beef was so overcooked I couldnt even chew it. It had so much cabbage in it (not listed in the description for what its worth) it was all I could taste. No onion or garlic or spice. Just blobby noodles, dry beef and cabbage with exactly 4 pieces of overcooked broccoli. Yuck
Food was amazing n they grouped 3 different orders for a working lunch ... Will go back again
I have been ordering from Little Thai for over two years now, and the staff is consistently friendly, helpful, attentive, and patient. Their Pad Thai is the best in the area, hands-down, and the all-day combo is great if you can't decide if you want curry or noodles.
Love their food and customer service is awesome. 😋😊
My go to place for mini spring rolls , yellow thai curry noodle soup with tofu .. yummylicious
A great place to eat or take away. I miss this place.
The servers are very nice, restaurant is clean and quiet. The food was delicious and the portions are great.
Consistently good Thai food delivered super quick
Aquarium was ballin
I did Dor dash Delivery today I’m not comfortable delivery because the owner carry a gun
The food was great when I first visited the place a year back, but based on multiple recent visits- I can only confirm the food, is infact, prepared by Chef Elmicrowave. The food comes out in a minute if the order being placed- and is inconsistently warm. That, and the flavor is gone downhill. It's been a few hours since I've finished eating here and I all but feel like throwing up.
All of the curries are sooo good. Service is always super fast. This place is my first choice for Thai if I'm ordering delivery or takeout.
Ordered pad thai and spring rolls. Pad thai was super bland and I think it was the broccoli added that made it smell bad but unsure, the spring rolls were cute and good consistency but again pretty bland.
We ordered takeout - the food was flavorful and they give you big portions. We would order from Little Thai again.
Don’t eat here, there’s lots of better food and thai around. I didn’t even finish my meal because it wasn’t worth eating.
Can't go wrong with the Pad Thai
Wonderful food and service!
The plate is big!
This is the only place on the Ave whose pad thai doesn't taste overly sweet. Great food, fast service, and fair prices!
Just get the green curry. You won't be disappointed! The fresh rolls here are my favorite in town too -- excellent peanut sauce!
I have instantly fallen in love with this place. Not only is the food amazing, but it's also very affordable on a student budget. If I could eat the green curry (spice level 3 🔥) with fried tofu every day I might. I also always love to get the Thai iced coffee which is perfectly sweet and complements the spice of the curry.
10/10 I will go out of my way to get this Thai food and always leave super happy 🙌
Such delicious food!
Good food and reliable.
Best Thai food in Seattle!
The That spiced corn patties (appetizers) were delicious, as was my curry ($1 extra for rice with dinners.) I'm not sure of the name of the dish my partner had (chopped chicken, basil, veggies and an egg), but it was also delicious. We had plenty of food, so we have enough to take some home for tomorrow's lunch as well. This was the first time in the area for me, and the fantastic smells coming from this place as we walked by earlier in the day convinced us to stop in for dinner.
Yummy! We Uber eats. Delish and fabulous and quick
Top notch service and delicious food! Helped me out quickly when I had a picky eater to deal with
Will be recommending folks to check it out
Still my favorite Thai food place on the Ave...
Love this place! One of the only Thai restaurants that can truly give a 5 star spicy dish!
Love the food here. I'd personally recommend the drunken noodles. And it's fairly inexpensive.
Love the food! Ordered a massamman Curry and they are wonderful!
