Crying tiger and squid
Leslie E.

A great find in Seattle! I've seen this be recommended for so long on social media but never really had the chance to go, but when we did, oh my goodness the flavors are IMMACULATE! Love how tender the steak was and the spring rolls were phenomenal. A bit on the louder side but it would make sense since it's a late night place that also serves drinks!

Craving Thai food, we decided to have dinner at Bangrak Market. The restaurant was lively and packed with people, with upbeat, loud music playing throughout the evening, creating a fun and energetic atmosphere. Our food came out surprisingly quickly, so we didn't have to wait long at all. Everything was delicious and flavorful, although some of the dishes were a little too spicy for us. The servers were attentive and responsive, always there when we needed them without being intrusive. Overall, it was an enjoyable dinner and a great place to satisfy our Thai food cravings!

Happened to stop in and get lucky with the happy hour menu and let's just say it didn't disappoint. This place is super lively and has a damn good playlist lol if you know you know. Service was good, very attentive staff. Food was amazing, WOW! I'll be dreaming of it till I get to visit the city again.

Chicken satay
Gabriella S.

This place was a vibe! We went around 9 on Thursday and the music and patrons were lit! The food was delicious, we are from out of town and thankfully reviews led us here and did not disappoint. Everything we had was delicious. The tofu was crunchy and paired with the sauce delicious. Crying tiger was flavorful and had great spice. The sauce served with the prawn was the hit, added extra spice and flavor beautifully. We used that sauce with tofu and it was all delicious.

I love this spot! The first thing that stood out to me was the environment because it really feels like you've stepped into an outdoor market in Bangkok. There are so many little details throughout the space that create that feeling, and at night especially, the whole place has such a fun energy. The food is amazing and I also love that they carry dishes and items that aren't commonly found in the States but are much more familiar if you've spent time in Thailand. That alone makes Bangrak worth visiting. There's something really fun about coming here in the evening. The atmosphere, food and little market details all come together and make it feel much more like an experience than simply going out for dinner. Trust me, it's a vibe. If you're missing Thailand or just want somewhere with a lively, distinctly Bangkok feel and great food, this is definitely worth checking out. Parking is tough around here because of it's location, there is a parking lot in the back side that I would suggest checking first.

deep-fried tofu w dipping sauce
Pam Y.

Super loud, kinda crazy, but super fun. We had the fried prawns (w the most amazing green sauce), chicken satay (the best satay I've ever had), deep-fried tofu & Lao-style papaya salad (this was good too, kinda pungent, I've only ever had the Thai-style papaya salad which is a bit lighter in taste). Someone complained about "ventilation". Yo, just pretend like you're in Thailand. For being so crazy busy, service was very attentive. You can flag down anyone to order additional food. Plus food comes out at lighting speed. Def fun place to go with friends. Don't go if you can't handle loud music.

Boat Noodle
Ngoc N.

We came for Sunday brunch and the place was already packed by the time we arrived -- always a good sign, so expectations were high walking in. The boat noodles delivered: generous toppings, rich broth, and a really great depth of flavor. This dish alone is worth coming back for. Unfortunately, the chicken dishes let the meal down. The roasted chicken was dry and came out lukewarm instead of hot, which was disappointing. The Hainanese chicken rice had the same issue -- the white meat was bland and lacked the tenderness/flavor you'd expect from a proper Hainan chicken. The atmosphere is fun and festive (loved the string lights and the market-stall vibe), and the space fills up fast, so I'd recommend going early or expect a wait. Bottom line: Stick to the noodle dishes here -- the boat noodles are the standout. I'd skip the chicken plates until they improve on temperature and seasoning.

Lively atmosphere with upbeat music with your dinner. The food was delicious but the music elevated the food tasting experience.

Now I completely understand why there's always a line out the door for this place, even though the space inside is huge! The vibe here is incredible. The moment you walk in, it feels like you've been transported straight to a bustling Thai night market or a lively pub along the strip. The interior design and decor are so fun and detailed. Just keep in mind that it gets pretty loud and energetic inside, but in a fun, vibrant way that really adds to the experience. We ordered a little bit of everything: Tom Kha: Perfectly creamy, tangy, and hit all the right aromatic notes. Kor Moo Yang (Grilled Pork Neck): Tender, super savory, and packed with flavor. Pad Thai & Fried Rice: Both classic comfort dishes executed exceptionally well--not dry at all and loaded with taste. Everything came out piping hot and full of authentic flavor. The wait can be a bit long during peak hours, but it's 100% worth it. Definitely a new go-to Thai spot in Seattle!

At the entrance

Seattle's Thai scene is hotter than sticky rice freshly unwrapped at the table and somewhat less likely to burn one's fingers. Thai cuisines vary depending on the region, but in general Thai food is known for balancing sweet, salty, spicy, and sour flavors. It also features a generous helping of fresh herbs and coconut milk. This results in bold, complex, and often herbaceous dishes. Located on Second Avenue in Belltown, Bangrak Market is named after the most famous market in Bangkok, where we had our first dinner in Seattle. The reservation was easily made via their website. Upon arrival, it was pretty busy and felt like a market when one stepped inside thanks to the colorful streamers and decor. The decorations were so unique, especially the baskets used throughout the space, and the whole vibe instantly transports one to Thailand without actually being there. It has such an energetic and party-like vibe. The music felt like one's in a bar, and the atmosphere was super fun. My partner, his family, our friends, and I managed to get a big table for a party of 14. With so many menu options, one can order with confidence. For starters, some ordered the Fresh Garden Rolls (Tofu), Chicken Satay, and Kao Mun Gai. As the main meal, we ordered Tom Yum Nam Sai (Chicken), Pad Thai, Pad See Eww, Kao Pad, Kao Pad Supparos, and Gang Kari. The food was amazing, full of flavor, and authentic. Everything was beautifully presented and made with fresh ingredients. Portions were decent and the price reasonable. The service was excellent and super friendly. From the wait outside to our meal, this establishment was buzzing, packed with patrons having a great time, food flying out of the kitchen, and that fun, chaotic energy that tells one you're in the right place.

Had such a great time here! The food, the drinks and the vibe were immaculate!! Big shout out to Ben for making our night! Will recommend friends and also this will be our celebrated destination

M Y.

Really enjoyed this place! Fun ambiance felt like a market - a bit noisy though if you're trying to chat with friends across the table. Got the goong ob wonsen which was amazing with massive prawns! The mango sticky rice was ok - mangos weren't super ripe. But would def go back for the food/entrees!

This is a fun restaurant to go with a group of people. Although they have a two hour limit and hold you to it. Came with a group of about 15 people initially we ordered to share as a group but all the food was so good. Everyone just ended up eating the entrées that they ordered. The crying tiger was not too spicy ordered with a side of rice, shrimp, vegetable, lettuce wraps also fresh with great peanut sauce. The decor and ambience is fun and lively, we celebrated a birthday there they brought out a sparkler on a dessert and came out and sang. Located in downtown, it was easily walkable to and from our location.

Can the mussamun curry be vegan, including the curry paste? I am confused because it was suggested for the first time as a vegan item the other night but I don't remember the waiter ever suggesting that before. Thank you.

Hi, our new brand of Massamun curry paste does not contain shrimp paste. So if you order it with just veggies or tofu, it will be vegan.… 

How long wait time tonight at 6:30pm for party of 7? Or walk in?

There will be some wait. Please consider walk in.

What time/days are Happy Hour offered?

4-6 pm everyday

How long is the wait usually on Fridays dinner time (6 PM) for 4 people?

About 30 mins Or less - we usually seat you first if your full party is waiting outside

Do you only accept reservations for parties of 7 or more? I'm visiting from out of town in 2 weeks and have heard great things about this place. I'd like to make reservations for me and my husband but not sure if you accept them for small parties.

Yes, seven or more only. Smaller parties are welcome to walk in.… 

Is there outdoor seating, and is the outdoor seating dog-friendly?

Yes & yes!

I want to make a reservation on April 1 at 6:45pm for 2 people and one toddler. On your website, there is no option to reserve, but at least 7 people. I want to reserve as I have kid with me. Is there a way I can reserve online?

I've gone on Saturday evenings and you have to log your name on a tablet outside. You can maybe try calling, but have not tried. The wait can be a walk in to one hour in my experience. The positive thing is you can do other things nearby and… 

Do they take reservations?

Yes! You can do so on their website or by calling in.

Hi can we make reservations for today?

What time and how many people?

Is this restaurant wheelchair accessible?

Yes, but please let’s us know before you come in so we can save some table for you.

Are there gluten free options available?

Yes, several items are GF or GFO. I had the kao pad kaprao (Thai holy basil) GF, which was excellent.

Do they have happy hour deals? What days/times? Thank you!

Yes, 4-6pm every day! You can find a copy of their menu here: https://www.bangrakmarket.com/digital-menu

Is this place children friendly?

Yes.

How do the spiciness levels compare to the average american thai restaurant?

It's pretty the same but more distinct between different spicy levels. It's not very spicy if you go with mild. But if you choose medium or hot, or even extreme hot, it can be very spicy.

How is parking here?

Street parking only. It's downtown Seattle so it really depends on the time and day.

Which soup menu has no pork in it (blood/oil/meat/etc)? Other than the vegan options of course.

Most of our soups are made to order. You can easily request not to put pork in any of them. Other than the boat Noodle- which contains pork blood and spices as the base of the soup.… 

Does boat noodle soup have blood in it?

There is no chunk of blood, but yes the both has a touch of crimson pig's blood, which makes the both appear dark.

Time without number I've found myself here, be that first dates, my birthday, or New Year's Eve, and it always feels like home. If home were a clown/carnival themed acid trip of a pinball arcade bar, that is. And what's not to love about that? The bar tenders here are cool and friendly people who pour drinks with a heavy hand, and understand the mission: get the patrons who want to be drunk, drunk. The first few times I visited, I felt a leeriness about ordering food. But once I got over myself, I kinda fell in love with the menu, and I've probably eaten everything on it (including the clam chowder).

That's not something paying customers want to hear. I ended up ordering a drink for myself while the guys were looking at the menu because they were doing a food hop, and us girls were doing a bar hop. During that time, the bartender came back to our table at least four times within about five minutes. Instead of being attentive, it felt pushy and aggressive, especially since they were still deciding what they wanted. I've been here a few times before, but after this experience, this will definitely be my last visit.

The Tech & Ordering Breakdown: The issues began immediately with a broken QR code ordering system. After we informed the staff, we were told to just wait. After wasting 10 minutes, we had to flag someone down to finally take our order in person. The entire process took 20 minutes due to zero proactive support. The Main Service & Food Transparency Issues: While the overall food quality was disappointing, the service was even worse. Our skewers arrived piled on a single plate with no explanation of what was what. Our server promised to check on the names of the dishes but never returned. She actively avoided our table for the rest of the night.We eventually flagged down someone who appeared to be the manager or owner. While polite, her service was just as inattentive. When she tried to identify the skewers, her explanation completely contradicted our actual order. We ordered one rounds of Wagyu--the most expensive item on the menu--but what we were served did not match. It left us feeling like the restaurant is either substituting premium cuts with cheaper meat or the staff is entirely untrained. Logistics & Drinks: The lack of basic service standards was shocking considering the restaurant only had two other tables occupied. A cocktail ordered at the very beginning of the night didn't arrive until we were almost finished eating, despite us successfully ordering multiple rounds of beer and sake throughout the meal. There is a complete lack of basic service standards and transparency here which is absolutely sad as the restaurant has pretty good ambiance. Despite the ambiance, I highly recommend spending your hard-earned money at one of Seattle's other excellent izakayas instead.

The udon had warm broth that tasted unique to this place, and would strongly recommend. I did think that it was quite pricey for the amount of food you get here, but that's just the Seattle price for you. Still, I would strongly recommend if you were I. The neighborhood. Service was good as well. Pretty quick, and the restaurant owner gave me a free token to try the claw machine as well. Very fun!

The wings were great and cooked to perfection, coming out incredibly crispy on the outside while remaining juicy on the inside.

To wash it all down, we paired the wings with an excellent local beer on tap, which rounded out the meal perfectly.Finding a spot that nails both the food and the service can be rare when traveling, but this place knocked it out of the park. It was a highlight of our trip to the Pacific Northwest. We highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area. Solid 5 out of 5 stars!
