Holy moly! This place is absolutely fantastic. Every dish we got was perfectly cooked and the flavors were perfectly balanced. We had the pad kee mao, the crying tiger, and the papaya salad. The spice level was exactly right. The veggie meat they use is absolutely delicious and super realistic. I cannot wait until I come back to try more of their menu. Do not hesitate. This is the best Thai place and I went to Thailand earlier this year so my standards are quite high. The service was also great. Very friendly and attentive. They have cute decor and you can watch the chefs cook if you'd like. Beautiful umbrellas decorate the ceiling. read more

The food here was very tasty. They have lots of options, including gluten free and vegan items. They also indicate sesame on their menu too I believe. The service was very polite and friendly. The restaurant is super cute with lots of little tables tucked around. I would def come back! read more

We've been here many times for dining in since my last review. The dining-in experience has been so much better than pick-up or delivery: the staff are always friendly and welcoming, the food were always served quickly, and we've tried so many different dishes on the menu yet nothing has disappointed yet, even for a big meat-eater like myself! read more

Been to 45th thai a few times and each time it borders on eh to decent. My latest visit was the worst yet. My friend and I decided to order ahead for pick up and the ball was dropped so hard on our food I couldn't believe how bad poor it was compared to prior visits. My friend got the Pad See Ew and it was completely lacking in flavor. We asked for not spicy, but it didn't even taste like it was cooked in anything. Even Soy sauce couldn't save it. I got a level 2 spiced Pad Kee Mao or as I like to call Drunken Noodle. It was perhaps the worst I've ever had. There were hardly any noodles at all, and this is a real problem being that this is Vegetarian Thai and there isn't any meat in it, it was like a container of cooked vegetables that were again lacking flavor. There were like a couple pieces of tofu to accompany these sad peppers, onions etc. I'm not sure if this was a really bad evening for them but $53 down the drain for this shoddy meal as well as a so-so fresh roll is enough to keep me from returning here. Silver Tray a couple blocks down is the better Thai choice, and they have vegetarian options. read more

"Vegetarian? What??? No. Why would I bother?" As a carnivore, I can honestly say this is one of my favorite Thai restaurants in town. The eggplant and tofu, pumpkin curry, pad thai, fresh rolls, and enochi fritters are our go to orders. It's a no frills restaurant, but the food is super solid. We've been here multiple times and it's our go to when dining with someone who is veg! read more

Cannot believe I have not been here yet and so close to other restaurants I patron! The fried taro rolls were mom's favorite! Ordered the Papaya Salad, Pad Kee Mao and Crispy Tofu with Fried Basil, all vegan. Flavors slightly varied from similar named dishes from other restaurants. Flavors hit and good so no complaints, just an observation... if a dish includes "Crispy" in its name, it better be crispy! This dish was sauced up, just saying! read more

My friends and I tried 45th Vegetarian Thai because one of my friends is vegan and my other friend is vegetarian. I love Thai food so this restaurant offered something for everyone! We ordered Vegetarian spring rolls, Thai fried rice, Pad See Iw and Yellow Curry. We also got Thai ice tea and dined at the restaurant. The food came fairly quickly. The spring rolls were tasty and crunchy while the plum sauce added just the right sweetness. My Pad See Iw with fried tofu dish arrived hot. The combination of tofu, wide flat noodles and Chinese broccoli is one of my favorite dishes. Add the sweet sauce over the noodles and I don't need anything else, except I want more! My friends enjoyed their dishes as well. This is one of our new go to restaurants in Wallingford! The staff was friendly and gave us a table near at their front window. They took our order and the food started to arrive soon after. We decided on an early dinner so the restaurant wasn't full. More people arrived as the night went on. The ambiance was chill and casual and the prices were reasonable. read more

Holy moly, this one's a winner. It took me forever to get here and now I'm not leaving. Super quiet on a Saturday afternoon so we had the run of the joint. Server was adorable and very friendly, checked on us during our meal but also gave us space. I had my new fave dish, Yum Neua Salad, which was spicy and flavorful with crunchy mock meat and fresh crisp veggies. My buddy had the orange tofu, which she pretty much devoured. There's some sort of voodoo in the Thai Iced tea, creamy, sweet and pungent I can't wait to return, again and again and try every dish on their vast menu. Cute restaurant is a bonus! read more

Oh my goodness... Let me just say, the flavours reminded me of Thailand! For someone who has been before and has tried the ordered items from the motherland, 45th Vegetarian Thai knows what they're doing!!!!!!!! The only compliant I have is the enoki mushrooms. It's very possible the oil they use to fry things was old because the mushrooms tasted like burnt oil lol. Otherwise, the show stopper was the Kao (khao) Soi. OMGGGGG!!!!!!!! Fulfilling, flavourful, 10/10. I will back specifically for that soup! No other Thai restaurants seem to even have it as option. Thank you for the deliciousness. Oh, and IT'S ALL VEGAN!!!!!!!! Yum! read more

My hubs and I went here for dinner after reading the positive Yelp reviews. I like the fact that everything here is vegan or can be made vegan by asking for no egg. As someone who isn't vegan, but can't digest dairy or egg well, it's so great to eat at a place where everything on the menu is open to me. Yay! We ordered the Golden Tofu appetizer, Massamun curry, Pad See Iw, Black Sticky Rice for dessert, and 1 Thai Iced Tea. Everything was really delicious! We especially enjoyed the flavorful curry and the noodles that had an excellent sear. The only thing we wouldn't order again is the Golden Tofu. $10.95 just seemed like a lot for fried tofu. Other than that, we were super satisfied. Definitely will be coming back for more! read more

I love the usage of nuts in Thai cooking, and 45th vegetarian Thai definitely delivered! I'm not a vegetarian so it was interesting to try Thai food without meats like I'm usually used to. We ordered a variety of dishes, including the khao soi, taro fried appetizer that comes with a plum sauce, the Wallingford, and the 45th street. We opted not to add the veggie meat (+$4) but that is an option too. The khao soi comes with a veggie meat drumstick already. The taro is fried in tofu skin and has peanuts mixed inside. Definitely my favorite dish, even if it was just an appetizer. It was still so hot and crispy by the time we arrived home. We ordered the kao soi with a 4/5 spicy level and it wasn't spicy at first, but the more you have, the more it hits you. It comes with the veggie meat stick, yakisoba noodles, and a variety of vegetable toppings. They package the noodles and toppings separate from the soup so it wouldn't get soggy. We couldn't finish it entirely and now have leftovers for tomorrow. The 45th street was rice paper rolls stuffed with an assortment of veggies and a peanut sauce drizzled on top. It was delicious and the sauce was sweet and savory at the same time. We ordered takeout so I cannot speak to the parking or ambiance of the restaurant. But the lady on the phone was very nice and made sure to ask us about the spice level (out of 5) for each dish. She also repeated back our order to us and asked us what type of rice we preferred (white or brown). The attention to detail throughout was nice. read more

I got the pad Thai and some veg pod stickers. I arrived and although no customer was in the restaurant, 3 guys behind the bar would not respond due to language barrier... than pointed me to a hurried man in the back on the phone. After a min he got my name and my order had been laying out open on a bar. He package that up and handed it to me. In comparison to another Thai I have been to, the portion was SMALL. The appy + dinner came to about $31. The taste was below average. In the pad Thai, the noodles were congealed, there were no veggies and only a couple small squares of tofu. Very underwhelming. I came away unsatisfied via portion size, price, taste and customer service. A bit disappointed. read more

Excellent vegan Thai for a hungry traveler! The service and food were wonderful. The spicy curries were perfect for staying cozy on a dreary, cold day. The long beans were delicious, too.

We were extremely excited to try this place based on the reviews. We're practicing Buddhist vegan, so no garlic or green onions in our food. When we called to order our food, I mentioned it 3x's just to ensure they wouldn't mess up the order as I understand it's a unique request. The gal on the phone confirmed and assured me that it would be done without garlic/ green onions. We ordered a ton yum noodle soup, phad Thai and veggie tempura. The third of the veggie tempura was onions lol. Ridiculous. The one star is not for that, it was that the phad Thai noodles were also part raw and overall... my husband and I got super sick after eating it. We were both stuck in the bathroom for most of the day. Honestly wouldn't recommend it, go down to the ave at Arayas for vegan food that's tasty, clean and affordable. read more

I rarely give anything a five star but the food here absolutely rates five. It doesn't really matter that it's vegetarian. It's the food that counts and the flavors would be the same with chicken or pork added in. The décor is Thai average. Our server was good. Street parking only. read more

This used to be Jhanjay Vegetarian Thai, and I'm happy to say this new place is just as good. We stopped in for lunch and we're greeted by a friendly server, who gave us waters and a bowl of complimentary soup -- a nice touch. We ordered the Pra Rama .($14.95 plus tax), with a side of brown rice (+$1), and the Pad See Iw ($13.95 plus tax; made vegan by omitting the egg). We asked for both 5/5 spicy and they delivered perfectly on that request. Both dishes were delicious, amply spicy and yet integrated, and very flavourful. Both were excellent. We were quite full at the end of our meal. All in all, excellent veggie Thai, great service, good portions and value. Highly recommended. read more

As so many others, I was terribly sad when Jhanjay closed, and then elated to hear another vegetarian Thai place was taking its spot. I finally had the opportunity to try 45th Vegetarian Thai tonight, and was not disappointed. I had the pad thai, which was delicious, large portion, and very flavorful. The restaurant is well decorated and airy, and the staff (at least the one waiter I interacted with) was a delight. I can't wait to come back and try more of their dishes! read more

Best Thai food I've ever had in Seattle spanning over a 40+ year period (and I'm not even vegetarian). Chef is apparently a Champion award-winning chef back in Thailand, and it definitely shows through the floral complexities of his kefir lime-infused mango salad (served on Romaine lettuce leaves), and deep savory richness in the tofu green curry. The seasonings used in his "veggie meat" to me tastes like the best calf's liver-meets-bacon and fried onion one could imagine. Which might sound a bit gross considering this is a veggie restaurant (and most people are not even fans of liver, myself included), but I encourage anyone reading this to at least give it a try. Not finished. If that wasn't enough, even their Thai iced tea (served in a jar) seemed beyond special, to what I can only and inadequately describe as vanilla extract with Rooibos tea and home-made condensed milk? Amazing. Our server was sweet, attentive and informative. Love the fact that they also have Thai soft-pop music playing in the background which just adds brilliance and authenticity the the experience. Truly a new Seattle SE Asian gem. And def my new go-to Thai spot. read more

Excellent vegetarian Thai option in our neighborhood. Take-away service was fast and easy. Will be back!

Out of towner visiting Seattle, and I saw the sign for this place while driving on 45th. So glad I stopped. The service was quick and food is simply amazing. I ordered a simple dish, and it was flavorful. The veggie meat is not tofu, but made with mushrooms and wheat and something else. Very fresh. read more

We had take out but inside of restaurant looked relaxed and nice. Ordered fresh rolls, our standard noodles and a spicy crispy tofu which included a generous serving of rice. Everything tasted so good and a standout for me was the two sauces that came with rolls. The peanut sauce was so perfect and I am excited you can order it alone because I will need extra every time. We are not going anywhere else for Thai food a long time. I'm eager to to eat in and try the Thai iced tea. read more

We stopped by for a Monday lunch and had a great time. We tried the Tom kha soup and the Guay Tiew Tom Yum. Both were very tasty and great for an overcast day. The restaurant had a decent amount of seating and fresh flowers at the tables. The food came out quickly and the server was very good and attentive. Overall, we would definitely stop by again as the food was yummy and it seemed like a lot of care had been put into everything. read more

On a vibrant street is this little Thai restaurant. On a Friday night there weren't many people at this joint. The server was polite and asked us to sit anywhere we'd like. Being a vegetarian I was quite excited to try this place. Ordered the cashew stir fry with vegan meat and Rad Nah. Cashew stir fry was below average. It was missing salt and the sauce wasn't enough. The server forgot to get the veggie meat, which was later given to us when it was asked. Rad Nah has a lot of Asian influence. It was smoky, warm, gingery sauce doused in wide rice noodles. Quite good and I did enjoy it. I'm unsure if I'd be back here as there are other vegetarian Thai places that are a little better. read more

Tried this Thai vegetarian place for the first time and was impressed. Had the Gana Keaw Wan (eggplant stir fry), which was cooked perfectly and of reasonably good portion size. Tofu cubes were especially done well, which is sometimes difficult to pull off it seems. If I could I would knock off a half a star because I thought the sauce was too salty but others may disagree. Service was polite and efficient. Very nice ambiance. Will return next time I am in the area. read more

very good vegetarian thai food in the heart of wallingford. when my friends said they wanted to walk for thai in wallingford and we arrived at the door of this restaurant, i knew i'd been here before but it's apparently changed names and owners and is now fully vegetarian. my barometer of a good thai place is how well they do phad kee mao and i'll just say the plate went back to the kitchen completely devoid of food so that should tell you something; i even forgot to take photos! the service was good and the servings were plentiful. it was a rainy sunday so not a lot of people out but three of the tables in this place were occupied and the food came reasonably fast and no one had any complaints. i'd go back for sure, or get take out if i lived closer or frequented wallingford enough. let's see if they're still around the next time i go up there but this time, i was glad they were. read more

I cannot recommend this place enough! Service was very friendly, food was seasoned well and portions were generous. Open kitchen layout allows you to see everything being made fresh in real time. My friend and I were hungry and we ordered a Pad Ma-Khuea, Fresh rolls and Larb to go and we had a lot leftover. Everything was 10/10. We got medium spice level which was on the milder side in terms of Thai spice. read more

Not from the area, was encouraged by the reviews and the menu looked amazing but it was not worth it. I paid extra for both tofu and veg as well as adding the vegan meat and got maybe 4 tofu cubes, what I would consider a normal portion of veg for a regular plate and the veggie meat (which I expected to be Beyond or something similar) seems to be their own creation and is both bland and distasteful at once. It was in desperate need of some kind of salt and the dish itself was also the same mixture of bland and distasteful. Disappointed for not sticking to any of the Seattle restaurants I am familiar with as well as for the money wasted on the "add ons" and especially considering the reviews did not reflect on my experience. I ordered delivery, so I can't say anything regarding service, but the door dasher was very kind. Would not return nor recommend. read more
