Easily fall in love with this Thai place, i am Thai and i like to recommend you to try this out. Fried pork with sticky rice is the MUST! The dipping is spicy but love love it, pad see eiw is one of the best compare to many other places i have try!!! The portion is big, great for sharing dish :) and of-course the price is super friendly compare to what you get with quality/deliciousness/portion!
I will definitely go back again when travel to tacoma!! 😋😋😋

This place becomes my most favorite one. I love the vibes…Isan Thai food restaurant, just like eating in Thailand. The owners are server (Jeremy) and chef (Thai wife. Jeremy is so sweet and kind. I’ll come back again for Tam-Thad (papaya salad) and Moo Tod (fried pork) because sold out today. I had Pad Kaprao and fresh rolls today, so good and generous portions!!!

First time going here and we enjoyed ourselves. It’s not very desirable from the outside but service and tasty food deliver inside. The standout for me is the portion size, supersized with leftovers to take home and share. We had a good time.

I’ve been by this place many times but never saw this little gem. We came here for lunch and the portions are huge. The location is a little darker, but it’s cute and intimate. The waiter with the mustache is awesome. Very personable! Will definitely be back.

Serving sizes are very large, this was our leftovers after 2 people ate a full dinner serving, Chicken pad Thai could have easily fed 3 people plus leftovers. Greeted immediately, attentive, made great recommendations as this was our first visit. Food is traditional, not American style.. No specific gluten-free menu, but they're aware of the dietary needs, and no kids menu but very helpful and accommodating. Couple tables for groups or families, mult for More private. Don't forget to look for the crested gecko on your way in or out! A highlight of the visit for us

Fantastic authentic Thai cuisine cooked and served with heart! We stumbled upon this hidden gem on a public holiday and were blown away by the burst of flavors in the Northern Sausage Everything Fried Rice and Braised pork leg! We have had plenty of Thai food, but we never had such complex but balanced flavors from dishes that we wish we had known sooner!
The owners of the place were such kind and friendly people. They were patient in explaining each dish and made sure that we wouldn’t over-order because their portions are HUGE - even for American standard!
Overall we just can’t recommend this place enough, and we hope that this restaurant stays in business for a very, very long time! It’s such a blessing to people who love Thai food!

Outstanding. Family restaurant we didn’t know was here. Great flavors, large portions. We had a very nice lunch. The spring rolls were excellent, perfectly prepared (sometimes they can be too oily). The red curry was great. Also the eggplant with chicken outstanding. We will be back.

As someone who occasionally travels from Portland to Seattle, this is honestly the only Thai restaurant in the Seattle area I would definitely return back to.

Very interesting set up with the tables and decorations which definitely contrasted with the exterior. The portion sizes are large and the coconut coup felt very thick almost like a curry which was great for putting on rice.

Awesome authentic Thai food, nice ambiance inside, massive portions, good prices. Highly recommended!

Delicious!!! And my to-go order portion size was a lot more than other Thai restaurants so you’re definitely getting the best bang for your buck!

My favorite Lao / Laotian food I’ve found in the US. Sometimes they even serve tofu larb! Had a big family meal here and everyone enjoyed their meals of a variety of mainstream Thai and less mainstream foods, including the pickier eaters of the group.

Great food huge portions!

The food was delicious! Huge portions with a generous amount of meat and veggies in each dish. The pad Thai, curry and kee mao were very good. A party of four was very satisfied and brought 4 full to-go boxes home.

Delicious food and generous portions!

Great food, Great Service, and a phenomenal environment. Will definitely be back! Thanks again!

Such a gem!!! It was our first time ever, so we did not know what to expect. We ordered fresh rolls and they were simply outstanding. Our main dishes were also very good. Be aware, portions are very big!!! We will be back

It is family owned and they make sure you feel like family when you are there! One of our favorite places to go!

We had a take out from here and I have to say that our entire family and our friends who joined us for lunch loved the food. We ordered the basil chicken, Phad Kee Mao, and the red curry. The food was delicious, and the portion size was large!! We ordered between 2 and 3 spice for the dishes and felt like they were milder than expected. But this will be our go-to Thai place from now on. Thank you for the delicious food!

We had a lovely conversation with the owner about Thailand and the food was terrific. From the outside it doesn't look like much but inside is charming.

Food is wonderful...so much had to get a doggie box. Only issue for me if the lighting..very cozy atmosphere, but needs a but more lighting..service was fast .plan to make it my go to place when the "Thai" food itch strikes.

The food was so flavorful and the people were amazing! I highly recommend this to anyone looking for an inviting atmosphere and a mouth watering meal. The spice levels were also perfect and everything was super affordable! This place is perfect for a family dinner or a date night:)

Friendly service and really good food. Portion sizes are big so come with an appetite or be ready to take some home.

Wish I could give this place 10 stars, it was very delicious, spice levels are perfect, food portions were very generous. The atmosphere was wonderful, the service was prompt, sweet, and very comforting. It was a wonderful experience eating here. Definitely reccomended giving it a try, you might find yourself thinking who you'd like to bring next time!

Easily fall in love with this Thai place, i am Thai and i like to recommend you to try this out. Fried pork with sticky rice is the MUST!

The best in town and it isn't even close! I've been cooking professionally for over 10 years and I give this place my full endorsement.

Great fish!

If you come here, expect an extra half an hour before your food is served. Consistently slow but friendly service. Food is slow throughout all times of the day. Authentic Thai dishes.

Where's the menu?
No website? urgggggg

The restaurant was very clean and the lighting gives off a cozy feeling. There staff were very friendly and they were very accommodating for host larger parties and private events (which I was there for) but I would definitely go there next time for a dinner date.
The food was delicious, I recommend the pad thai, tom yum, basil chicken, and pineapple fried rice.

Everything tasted amazing! Staff is always very friendly :). Definitely will come back again!

Hidden Gem! Little That food restaurant has the best Pad See Ew that I have ever tasted. Worth the trip.

Don't be fooled by the exterior of this little Thai place. The food and service are outstanding. Thai food is my favorite and I'm always looking for new places when I travel. Loak Toung dishes are immensely flavorful and atmosphere is cozy. Highly recommend it!

Absolutely delish, kind service, awesome atmosphere.

The food is fantastic. Service is also very good. Environmentally friendly utensils!

Owner of the place is great! Couldn't ask for a better experience. Best Thai I've had in Tacoma. Ask to try the rice beer 👍 🍻

First time going here and we enjoyed ourselves. It’s not very desirable from the outside but service and tasty food deliver inside. The standout for me is the portion size, supersized with leftovers to take home and share. We had a good time.

Best Thai food I’ve had in the states. Great service and lovely ambiance.

Such a good experience! This restaurant is a family owned and operated restaurant with the highest quality ingredients. 10/10 definitely recommend.

This is the spot!!! My husband and i came to try this place for the first time and it absolutely 100% worth it! We got the pad thai and pad see ew and we loved it!! 10/10 would recommend to anybody who wants some thai food fix. Definitely our new go to restaurant for thai food!!

My family ordered Tom Yum soup, Penang Curry, Pineapple fried rice and fried chicken wings. For fried chicken wings it is a bit disappointing - the wings were overcooked - a bit dried and bland, and the sauce is not our favourite. Pineapple fried rice tasted good, but it lacks the “wok hei” that we would expected from fried rice. However the Tom Yum soup and Penang curry is so delicious that made me ignore the slightly imperfections from the other two dishes and give them five stars.

Staff are super friendly too. We arrived the restaurant at around 7:05pm - a few minutes after their last seating time at 7pm. (This is a surprise to us) However the server (owner?) talked to the kitchen and decided to accommodated us. The waitress are also super friendly and helpful too. She helped us to take some photos and even suggested the best place for the photo.

If I visit Tacoma again I will definitely find another time to visit this restaurant again.

Best Thai food in Tacoma!

Fantastic Thai food!

I just had lunch here today- also my first time. And it was amazing, even the food, the service, or the vibe. The chef made the authentic taste for the PadThai. I love it so much. It will be my favorite destination for my hungry stomach from now and so on

I had a great experience here, the atmosphere was calm, there weren't a lot of people, the food was outstanding and the desert was top tier. All the staff were really nice and again overall just a great experience. 10/10 will go back soon

I really wanted to love this place. The owner was so nice and personal, the atmosphere was wonderful, but the food was disappointing.
We ordered pad Thai with prawns and it was mostly noodles with very few vegetables and the prawns were overcooked. We also ordered basil pork, which was like jerky in sauce. The flavor was nice, but it was impossible to chew. The fried spring rolls had nearly nothing inside and were mostly fried dough.
We were both super bummed.

Fantastic authentic Thai cuisine cooked and served with heart! We stumbled upon this hidden gem on a public holiday and were blown away by the burst of flavors in the Northern Sausage Everything Fried Rice and Braised pork leg! We have had plenty of Thai food, but we never had such complex but balanced flavors from dishes that we wish we had known sooner!

Overall we just can’t recommend this place enough, and we hope that this restaurant stays in business for a very, very long time! It’s such a blessing to people who love Thai food!

One of the best restaurants in Tacoma, bar none. I bring people here for lunch whenever I can and they always become return customers. Servings are fantastic and the food is consistently amazing.
The tom kha is so good it's become my default "I feel sick and I'm not cooking" dinner.
I gave the atmosphere a 3 because dining area is toooo dark and could use a bit of a touch up but other than that, I cannot recommend this place enough. Incredible.

Great restraunt. I love getting food here. Prices are great and portions are good, and the food is always flavorful. Be careful of ordering spicy if not used to heat.

Mango sticky rice and Crying Tiger was amazing!! My favorite Thai restaurant in Tacoma!

I ordered vegetarian pad Thai, fishcakes, and pineapple fried rice to go. It smelled good and the portions were plenty however, the food tasted horrible. The pad Thai was over cooked and the flavor was off. The pineapple fried rice was mushy and tasted flavorless. The fish cakes were rubbery, hard to chew, and had a strange after taste.

I’ve had plenty of Thai food here in Washington and most of them were decent so I thought this place would be good. I was surprised that every dish was bad since the ratings were high. I wonder if they were just having an off day or maybe that’s just how the food taste here everyday.
Unfortunately I won’t be returning to confirm.

The food and sauces were really great with good portion to price ratio and the atmosphere was very calm. One of the waiters was talking to us after we paid and it was just a over all perfect experience.

Literally the best Thai food I had in my LIFE! everyone is so friendly and welcoming. It feels like visiting family and having cozy delicious food! One of the people helping out had a pride shirt which I LOVED. It feels like a cozy lil alcove and the place has beautiful lighting and COZY chairs!

Always spectacular!

Best Thai food around! Friendly service, prices fair. It is in a scary little strip mall, but worth the trip!
I recently took a star off my original 5 rating because prices here have gone up significantly; they are no longer the great deal they used to be. They charge an extra $1.20 for takeout, and on top of that they still ask for a tip. 😟
Still tasty though.

Excellent Ambience and wonderful service.

I just hate the fact there was sweetness and too much spice. The western spicy in Thai. So look for sour/savory spice. We got sweet and Chilli powder spice. Not ground masala or chilli paste spice.

Cauliflower bomb is great. Sauce can be better.

Food tasted amazing, portion size was huge, super affordable, and the staff was incredibly nice and attentive. What more could you ask for?

Great Thai food. Don't let the exterior fool you. This little restaurant is fantastic. Not fast food. They take their time but every bite is worth it. The portions are huge and the prices exceptional. Jeremy greeted us and chatted a bit. He's out front while family cooks the wonderful food. This was our first visit but we finally have discovered our favorite Thai restaurant.

I just tried this place for the first time today and I can’t wait to come back….. (chef’s kiss)**

The food is great and the portions are large. Can't beat the value.

Celebrated my birthday here. Great food that felt like I was back in Thailand eating spicy wings. Had my favorite Thai beer and ended up one hr past closing talking to one of the owners.

Outstanding. Family restaurant we didn’t know was here. Great flavors, large portions. We had a very nice lunch. The spring rolls were excellent, perfectly prepared (sometimes they can be too oily). The red curry was great. Also the eggplant with chicken outstanding. We will be back.

Local family owed restaurant. Love the food! Just wonderful

A group of us were going to a Rainier's game and decided we wanted to eat beforehand. Our planner found this little place just down from the Cheney Stadium.
Really nothing to look at from the outside, but you are transformed to truly Thai ambiance once you walk through the doors. So very nice inside.
We split some of the dishes, one was the garlic chicken and some yellow curry. Both dishes were so good !! The yellow curry was the best I have ever had. Most of the food we got, we had to bring home, which is fine with me.
The place is run by a really nice couple, he waits tables and his wife cooks. It is truly a fantastic place.
Coming back for sure !!

YES!

Update 2022... Still the most amazing Thai food place in Pierce and King County. I absolutely love everything about this business. (Only wish it was closer to me 😉) The food Never Ever Ever Disappoints me or anyone I bring here.
The price is always amazing, and I make sure to tip as well as possible because they are Sooooo deserving of it!
The portions are perfect!
The decorations are traditional! What else can I say?? 6 stars!! But if you you order that many... you might be in trouble. 😉

Update 2024.. still amazing!!! The prices have increased, but that was something everyone should understand! Keep in mind it’s still cheaper than “Fast food” and 1 million times better! I will always come back to this place!
Owners are so nice and I can’t complain ever!

Came across this little gem while searching for Thai food. This place will not disappoint you at all. The food is rich and flavorful. The papaya salad is 🔥. Our servers were friendly. Will definitely be coming back here.

Restaurant was very dark, felt & looked dingy. Darkness covered up how dingy it was. My son pointed out the bugs in the lights that were off. Almost as if they're hiding the dirtiness. Service was horrible. Not once did they ask if we were okay, never re-filled our drinks, we literally sat there waiting to get his attention while he just kept looking at us & walking by. Food took forever. It was okay, large portions, good price but could use more flavor. Very disappointed in our experience. We had high expectations since it had 5 star review. We will never go back.

Food, atmosphere, all excellent. Great suggestions by the host! Huge portions, but the food was so delicious I was compelled to clear off my plate.

I made the review for 2 Version one in Thai Language and the other one in English Language.

Thai
สำหรับคนไทยที่เดินทางมาทำงานในระแวก Seattle , Tacoma, Gig harbor หรือบริเวณใกล้เคียงแล้วอยากทานอาหารไทยจริงๆ ผมแนะนำร้านนี้เลยครับ บรรยากาศในร้าน รสชาติอาหาร ความใส่ใจ และปริมาณอาหาร ไม่มีที่ติซักอย่างครับ ผมมาทำงานที่ Tacoma 2 วัน ผมมาทานสองวันติดครับ เจ้าของร้านชื่อJeremy เป็นมิตรและอัธยาศัยดีมากครับ ผมชวนเพื่อนมาทานวันที่สองเพื่อนก็ชอบ แนะนำเลยครับ ขับรถมาจาก Seattle นิดนึงแต่ได้รสชาติดีถือว่าคุ้มครับ

Eng
Jeremy, the owner, was incredibly welcoming. The portions were generous, leaving me completely satisfied. This place exceeded all my expectations! Highly recommended for an authentic Thai experience.I definitely come back . Highly recommend!!!!!

This place is the best. Jeremy ( mustache) great server. Pad Thai #2 heat. Can't beat it!!!!!

These guys have Insanely good value, amazing food, and quick service. Loak Toung will always be my family’s go-to for good eats!

Arguably the best Thai in Tacoma, but their hours are nearly impossible to keep track of and I can't tell you how many Monday s or 2:30pm-4:30pm's that I've been nearby or wanted to order but they are closed. I would literally only eat here for Thai if it weren't for their schedule. I'm not exaggerating, I would have probably eaten here 4-5 more times per months if they weren't closed on from 2:30pm-4:30pm and Mondays.

Best thai food in t-town, but doesn't answer my calls to place to go orders

Took an hour to get our food. No one checked on us. Served chipped glassware. Food was just okay. No peanut sauce available. Will never return.

By far the best kept secret Thai food restaurant in Tacoma or even the PNW. Service, quality and flavor of the food, portion sizes… literally everything is perfect and consistent every time. I’ve been coming here for years and don’t intend on stopping.

What a Gem 💎…. Our first time here & everything was perfection!!!
What a Find….

SO GOOD! My family and I got takeout here a few days before Christmas. They were clearly super busy (with takeout orders and in restaurant dining) but had everything ready pretty quickly. The pad kee mao was for sure the best I’ve ever had. The basil chicken and larb were also delicious. We all got 8 dishes altogether and each had a different favorite, so it’s hard to list them all here. They also included a lil holiday dessert which was so cute. Definitely coming back!

First time I tried them, house fried rice yum and everything was yum!!

Best restaurant in Tacoma and I will die on this hill. Since moving here from the Bay Area, I’ve been on a hunt to find the best food and this is easily my #1. I recommend the daily/weekly specials and anything with sour pork. So happy to have found this spot!

We used to get takeout at Loak Tong Thai and have always found it to be authentic ASEAN food with fresh flavors and ingredients. Went back today and found their dining space to be expanded and remodeled, creating a much nicer ambiance similar to a street eatery. Food portions were huge and everything was very tasty and reasonably priced. Am glad we came over the bridge to escape the expensive Gig Harbor thai and get a much better experience in this hidden secret.

Great food and very nice staff. Crispy basil w pork is excellent! Great chef special. Huge serving.

Amazing

I had a great experience at this restaurant. The food was excellent. The service was wonderful.

Great little place the owners are great had the garlic chicken with veggies and crispy basil with a fresh roll

Very flavorful food. Staff was friendly and courteous.
One thing was that it was hard to get a hold of them. Took forever to order our food.

Great service, good neighborhood hole in the wall, nice ambiance inside, BIG portions for price (at least for carry out) but the food is quite mediocre in my opinion, and I’ve had a lot of Thai food. Under seasoned, under spiced

Best Thai around! To say it’s a hidden gem is an understatement. A top notch winner every time!!!

Whenever I go to other Thai restaurants they never give me the Thai spice. But luckily I found this amazing place!!! I usually get the pad see ew level 10 spice & oh my goodness it’s what I wanted/needed with the flavor & the spice. One thing I wish was better is the location, it’s kinda in the back & not a lot of people notice it. But overall my favorite Thai restaurant reminds me of my mom’s cooking!

Ps. Don’t get Thai spice if yall can’t handle it, don’t need no cry babies calling the restaurant because you couldn’t handle no spice.

Amazing food. Really a place you have to try and probably love.
I love them, and recommend. 5 stars not enough.

Huge portions, good price and really delicious

Soooo good! People are sooo nice, food is perfect, atmosphere is also awesome! You must try here if you like thai food.

Everytime when we want Thai food, we always comes here! My kiddos love their fish cake, and we always ordered pud kee mao, pineapple fried rice, crying tiger, garlic chicken! Been here so much that we end up knowing the owners very well!

The food warmed my heart

Really yummy food. Service was prompt, but not rushed. Felt relaxing and authentic. But back to the food. Soooo good. And so much. Huge portions but reasonable prices. I will definitely be back.

Some of the most delicious Thai you will find in the area. They always have specials and it's something different than you would find at most other restaurants here locally. Friendly service and a nice quiet dining experience. Would recommend. A+.

Shared three dishes here - the Tom Yum soup (shrimp), Phad Kee Mao (beef), and Phad Thai (chicken). The Tom Yum was absolutely delicious and the flavors were bursting left and right. It was just a TAD salty for my liking. Other than that, wonderfully made. The kee mao (comparatively to the other two dishes), lacked the high flavor profile. It wasn’t as “vibrant” I suppose. However, still yummy and the beef was tender. The Phad Tai was just as flavorful as the soup. The chicken was tender and fresh tasting. Extremely delicious and everything you want a Phad Thai to be.
The portions were amazing. The owner and staff lovely to talk with. The atmosphere dark with twinkle lights and lots of textures and colors. I will be going back!!

You would never believe how great the food is, from the look of the exterior. Great atmosphere and friendly service .

Best Thai I've had in WA. Great service too.

Charming place, kind people. Pad kee mao with pork was amazing.

Beautiful and delicious authentic thai restaurant! We orders the garlic chicken, pad thai, 3 fish, and the red curry and everything by was very good. The presentation of the food was nice, very colorful. The staff were kind and attentive! Thank you!

Great food, nice people, fair prices, comfortable chairs, relaxing lighting, and silverware has a good feel in the hand. My body likes it there

The restaurant was decorated so nice!! in the Thai theme concept of "Loak Toung Thai " service mind and friendly people at here ,so, believe me Good food and is the foundation of happiness!!
Thank you for a great experience!

The waiter was so friendly, food was delicious, and the atmosphere was great! Love the dark lighting and big portions 😍 we will be back for sure (I had the garlic chicken and it was amazing)

A hidden gem

Great food, wonderful service

So I don't really leave negative reviews, but I'll make an exception for this place. I've eaten here before and decided to give them another go. Soon as I walked in with my girl we were ignored by the waiter/owner. Moments later the waitress/owner walks back in behind another group walking in. Politely responded with we needed a table for two and no we're not a part of their group. Guess who the waiter seated first? After being told they had to clean a table, we walked after the second group was seated first. I have a beard and get called Carlos a lot, so I don't know if the color of my skin had something to do with it. The audacity of this kind of service should not go unchecked in this day and age

Grabbing lunch here is frequently the highlight of my week. The food is great, the staff is spectacular, the atmosphere is the definition of cozy.

The food is delicious. Servings are such we share and have plenty

This place is a diamond in the rough. A quaint hole in the wall which is Tacoma. I was fortunate to have come across them via a friend and I swear by their food and establishment. They're family owned and the food 100% authentic. The owners literally made my wife and I's dishes and they were to die for. Come in close to the holidays and try the larb. Fantastically delicious. I love this place.

Went here for a birthday dinner with my husband. The food is SO good, big portions on all of the dishes we ordered, and the staff was friendly and very accommodating! My husband asked if they served a specific Laotian dish, that wasn't on the actual menu, and the lovely kitchen staff was able to prepare what he had asked for! Definitely stop in here for any occasion! It looks like a very small place from the outside, but the dining room itself is very spacious and very beautifully decorated!

It tastes just little different than standard Thai fare. A good place to mix it up a bit.

Don't let the outside fool you. This is what you want if you want really good Thai.

Lovely family run restaurant, serene atmosphere and most importantly amazing food!

Everything from the decor to the food was just amazing. We will be returning to eat here many more times.

staff is really cool. Very personable, and it's good food. They recently remodeled and now there's lots of room. It's nice and cool in the summer. I have a friend that goes there every week because he loves it so much. If I had more time, I would, too!

FINALLY, an authentic Thai restaurant in Tacoma. Reasonably priced, generous portions and fantastic food that isn't overly sweetened for the typical bland American palate!

Authentic Thai restaurant
Great service, great atmosphere
Great portions
Friendly, professional and patient.

Authentic. Great service. Nice tables

何を食べても美味しいです。本日のおすすめ料理は要チェックです。オーセンティックなのでアジア料理上級者もきっと満足できると思います。
フレッシュロールが売り切れになるので、早めの時間がいいと思います。

Really good Thai food!

mmmmmmmmmmmmm yummerrs most bestest most deliciouses of meals

Ran by a husband & wife, along with an outstanding team, all of whom are clearly passionate about sharing their love and knowledge of Thai food. Every single dish we’ve tried each time we’ve been here has been a “ball outta the park” home run! The flavors are deep; complex; nuanced; and the portions are generous.

Their food is from a different region of Thailand and was unexpected. I'd return to try something else.

We had a delightful lunch here and the food was absolutely delicious! We had the Phad Kee Mao, Vegetables with Beef and Fish Cakes and the portions were very generous! Enough for another meal.
The restaurant was decorated so nicely in the Thai theme and the restaurant owners are nice and friendly.
Thanks for a great experience!

I’ve tried so many Thai restaurants around tacoma but this is by far my favorite!

Portions are big (I ate till I was full then had a full meal to still take home). Food was SO tasty + authentic. I asked for chili oil on the side and the waiter came out with two different sauces that he recommended. Both were so good.

Had a Thai iced tea as well that was great!

Service was fast and friendly.

They do have limited hours and close mid day but it’s worth checking out when you have time! We will definitely be back.

Amazing atmosphere, nice people and the FOOD IS EPIC.

Large portions and fresh/tasty entrees will spoil you. Super friendly staff and reasonably priced.

Really good Thai food with big portions.

Fantastic family run restaurant. Great food and lovely people.

Best place in town for Thai food for sure for sure ... friendly owner and staff

Wow, amazing flavor, great portions....just yummmm
Might be a little wait but so worth it.

Family owned and operated. You can taste the love in the food. They treat you like family and feed you like family. Best Thai food period. Thank you Loak Thai!

Pad Thai and soup good!

Hands down the best Thai food I’ve ever had! Great prices and the portion sizes are massive! I ordered the basil chicken lunch special and got three meals out of it. Staff were incredibly friendly. I have sensory issues with light and so the low light atmosphere was relaxing and truly allowed for a distraction free experience. Additionally, the iced tea was delectable. Liquid dessert. If you’re deciding on a Thai place to eat, just go here. Your search is over. You will not regret it.

From the outside, I would have never chosen to eat at this little hole in the wall, walk inside and you're still wondering if you made the right choice

Best Thai food I've had in years! The staff is super friendly. The portions are generous. The food is aaaasamaaaazzzziiinnngg!!!! ItYum! My curry was wonderful. I'll be eating there again for sure! So glad I found this place 😃

Great food, and got to chat with a really friendly fellow Jeremy.

Great food, atmosphere, and people!

It was very dark, but our eyes were finally able to accomodate. Maybe a few more table lights?

I have tried Thai cuisine in many places even in Bangkok and so on. However, this place is the one of best Thai restaurants I have experienced. I can strongly recommend this place.

The best Thai restaurant I’ve been to in the whole state!! Owners/workers are so nice. Makes you smile every time you come in. Would go here every day if I lived closer to it :)

The food was amazingly delicious one of the best authentic Thai food , and portion was great for the price . We ordered pad Thai and papaya salad. The waiter was very friendly and the food was prepared promptly. .

What a hidden gem. Give it a try and you won't be disappointed.

I’m not even done eating yet but this is already a 5 star spot. Amazing food, better service.

Very comfortable space. The service was spectacular, and the food was delicious and portions generous. I will definitely be coming back.

Excellent service, delicious spring rolls and giant portions for a great price! Great little hole in the wall

Please never change

never disappointed!

Came here for lunch during our short road trip. Very authentic/delicious Thai food! Spice level and the portion size was just perfect. Great customer service and would love to come again. Would recommend this to anyone! Enjoyed our red curry & garlic chicken lunch specials 😊

This is the best Thai place we've found since moving to the area from out of state. Half of my family is from Thailand and my mother and aunties tried it on their last visit. They all approve, and trust me, they rarely find Thai places that come close to the food back home. We've only gotten take out.
The had the best garlic green beans, but sadly said it's not available anymore. I really wish they'd bring it back.

Amazing authentic Thai food! They will not disappoint!!

Awesome food, great service. So delicious!

Don't judge a book by its cover. What appears to be an unassuming entrance, turns into a welcoming and enjoyable experience at Loak Toung Thai. I've had Thai food before but this authentic and passionately made Thai food is the best. Make sure you try the green sauce that comes from the owners Village in Thailand. It's a small staff led by a family team that Prides itself in creating delicious and generous Thai choices. The appetizers are large and can be enjoyed by four people. Authentic quality food takes a little longer to make so don't expect a fast food experience, thankfully! The prices are exceptionally reasonable and I'm certain they will be back to try other items on the menu.

I’ve been eating here for a couple years now, the owners are amazing and so friendly. I will always recommend this place. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Tacoma. The portions are great and the food is always delicious. I love the consistency, the food always tastes as good as last time I ordered it.

Best Thai restaurant in the US! Love the food and ambiance. Do yourself a favor and check it out :)

Wow, Thai food with some influence from Laos or Cambodia. Awesome. Highly highly recommend.

Absolutely will be driving down from Seattle again for this place. They close early so get there before 7pm if you want to dine in.

Great food!

Their food is amazing. Brought home lots of leftovers. We will return again.

Our favorite Thai restaurant!
