Food: Tasty and fresh ingredients, but the prices were a little steep. But everything is nowadays. Service: Sierra was incredibly sweet and friendly, great service and got us a nice slice of cake to split. 10/10 experience here. Ambiance: it's a beautiful place! We took a bunch of pictures.

Crispy Garlic Chicken

Fast friendly service with flavors you'll crave the next day. Wonderful ambiance and great views bolster the experience, but are not mandatory to enjoy this establishment. Can be pricey depending on what you order, but was worth it for me. Total bill including tip today $108.73. Could have fed 3 adults on the two dishes we ordered. Long story long, the parking situation is not bad. The garage is not overly full on a regular Friday afternoon and once you cross the street, the walk is less than 2 minutes. You're not directly on the water, but the views are phenomenal from the patio and even better from the second floor patio. Service is friendly and attentive. We wanted for nothing our entire meal and our server was very helpful with suggestions and knowledgeable about what ingredients were and what dishes contained what. That's important to me due to my food allergies. The food was amazing. We order the royal crab fried rice at a level 3 and the crispy garlic chicken at a level 2. The rice was phenomenal! Tons of flavor on its own with a tiny kick of addictive heat. Perfectly soft cooked omelette and a literal mound of crab with seasonings mixed in. It also came with a topping sauce and small salad to mix in. My favorite part was the egg with the popping salmon roe. The chicken was very crispy and not overcooked. I thought the sauce would make it soggy, but it's coated and not overly sauced so it stayed crispy even after about 15 minutes. The chicken was tender, juicy and sweet at a level 2. No signs of heat in the chicken at all level two so I suggest starting at a level 3 if you're looking for a variation of flavors. The tamarind in the sauce was prominent without the heat and was still quite tasty without it. We also ordered a Stella and a Strawberry Cosmo. The Stella was an average pour and the Cosmo was perfectly sweet and STIFF!! This is a wonderful place to have a girls lunch or afternoon date. If you have friends visiting from out of town, this a good place to bring them to experience the waterfront without all the crowds and drug heads you must wade through to get to the pier in Seattle. 10 out of 10 recommend!

We came here in hopes of having a delicious birthday meal unfortunately, we left with a fairly high bill and low satisfaction. Our waitress Katie was wonderful and had a great personality and was very helpful upon being seated. The table fireplace lamp was not working and they ran out of lighter fluid so she improvised and used house liquor to light it. What a great idea. When two of our guests wanted hot coffee and they did not serve hot coffee in the restaurant. She made sure that that could happen. We ordered several dishes and only one thing was a positive mention the soup. The rest of the items were probably not even a one star, including a combo fried rice dish chicken,beef & pork that was so dry the meat almost had to be cut with a knife and it was over $40! It had hardly any flavor. We order chicken Lard That had decent flavor and came with the seam of cabbage, we then had to ask for lettuce wrap. We got yellow curry, fried chicken wings (greasy and non flavor) so to say an expensive meal and underwhelming flavors don't go well together. I am not sure I would return

Pad Thai

I'll start with the good: Food was delicious, I've tried many Thai places and this was a hit (taste wise). We chose to sit outside they have covered lounge area with fire pits to stay warm. We were the only ones outside for a while. The not so good: We asked multiple times to turn down the music. It was so loud and the server said "this is the vibe". After we said we don't want drinks (just water) with our food, the server turned up the music again and never returned. Someone else dropped off our food, no napkins, literally never came to check on us or add water. After ages they came with the bill. Personally I don't think service should depend on if you order drinks or not. It seemed like once the server realized we weren't racking up a drinks tab they gave up on us and never returned. Maybe they had an off day but it wasn't busy and very off putting.

Boran Royal Thai Cuisine is an A-OK Thai restaurant that has prices to match its location. That's why it charges so much here, which is disappointing given the food was lackluster. I can't say I'd eat here again. Boran Royal Thai Cuisine was located right by the hotel I was staying in for a conference, so needed to get some dinner nearby. I'm always down for Thai food, so it was nice to see this place just right across the street from me. Although the decor is nice here and service was good, with an outdoor patio area, the food was overpriced. I ordered the Cha Cha Seafood Sizzling plate, which included mussels, shrimp, scallops and calamari in a curry sauce and veggies. The spice was there, which I liked, but the seafood was not portioned out well as the plate had more squid than anything, so of course there was only one scallop and two shrimps. The jasmine rice it came with was very clumpy and sticky versus fluffy and tender. This cost me over $40 with tax and tip, and was not worth it. Overall, if you're in Point Ruston and you crave Thai food, this is by default the only place you can get such a fare. The food wasn't bad, but was not worth the steep prices, which I imagine is due to its location as most waterfront restaurants take advantage of. I'd get cocktails here and if you make it for happy hour then that's even better. But it's a pretty penny for dinner.

This is one of the nicest Thai restaurants I've ever been to. The decor and ambiance is first class Thai without feeling 'Americanized'. The service from the front door, to the server, to the busser was great! Very attentive and timely. The food was delicious. I've had great Pad Thai many times in my life, and I'd rate theirs top ten percent. Went with number two heat. Just right! Thus location is ideal for getting some sites in, a vigorous walk, and a fun lunch. I'm coming back, promise! My only reason for four stars is the prices are a bit high. Still coming back!

Crispy Garlic Chicken
B253 ..

This is only for the Crispy Garlic Chicken. We have gotten it many times, in person and to-go since they opened. It's always been flavorful, crispy and amazing. Today we got a to-go order of it and were disappointed. The chicken was not crispy, was less flavorful, and the pieces were quite large. What made the chicken good before was having it in the smaller pieces, which meant they were more breaded and thus crispier and more surface area for sauce. We will try once again but if this is the new norm then we won't continue eating here.

Beef salad - I've had better but the flavor was decent
Mattea D.

Ordered takeout here while at Point Ruston on the waterfront. Food was timely and ready in the 30-40 min window, sitting at host stand and easy to pick up. I ordered meat balls (appetizer), beef salad, pad see ew, and pad ka pao. quality wise, the pad ka pao was probably the most successful - I could tell if it was plated it would look really nice(20.95)! The meatballs were a few meatballs and a little side of sauce, definitely overpriced and underwhelming (12.95). Pad see ew was standard except I paid $4 extra for mushrooms and there weren't any (24.95). Beef salad had a decent flavor but the beef was neither an appetizing color or texture (19.95). Generally, this place is overpriced but I think I can lump that in with being a "waterfront" restaurant. Would not return, do not recommend.

Spring Rolls
Ruby S.

What's outstanding about this restaurant is the beautiful interior design and decor, spacious and elegant ambience when you walk in. I couldn't help, but admire it. Our Server was fantastic and friendly. Appetizers and entrees arrived in a timely manner. You're welcome to inquire and request spice level in dishes. Our party of five ordered: Spring Rolls: Crispy on the outside. Filling with dipping sauce was yummy. Vegan Fresh Rolls: Loved the fresh green, leafy lettuce, fresh shrimp, shredded carrots rolled in rice paper and dipped in warm peanut sauce topped with minced peanuts. Pad Thai: Delicious! Not clumped together. Loved how minced peanuts added a nice crunch. Papaya Salad: Tasty and crunchy. Shrimp with veggies balanced the acidity and flavors. Crispy Garlic Chicken: Crispy skin. Tender chicken. Coated sauce complemented veggies. There's a separate room that can be reserved in advance for parties. Before we exited, my CIL inquired and asked questions about room reservations with a staff.

They overcharge and make up charges , make sure you take a second look at that check! Was overcharged Twice the amount I was supposed to pay for a salad and when I brought it up to the server/bartender/cook/ "he thinks he's the manager" he said he doesn't want to talk to me and just left ‍ kept trying to tell me he charged me the correct amount although the price is on the menu and then said the price on the menu didn't matter. Terrible service! I added shrimp to my papaya salad and it clearly said on the menu it would be extra 4 bucks, he charged me almost 13 dollars (price of the salad alone) and then proceeded to tell me the price on the menu did not matter. I went online to see how much the togo order would be and guess what? I'm not delusional and am able to read the menu.

Terrible service. Doesn't honor reservations during busy nights. Ruined our Mother's Day plans. What's even the point then?

Very good Penang curry. Nice dining room and service. Expensive. Why does a side of rice cost $5? Should be included but it wasn't.

My favorite Thai. I hadn't been in a while but I needed dinner at 8 last Sunday night and it was…read moreone of the only places open downtown. WTF Tacoma? I'd just gotten off the train from eating and drinking my way around Portland and you couldn't welcome me back with a few more choices for a good meal? But since I ended up at Thai Pepper, all was forgiven. Hands down, their pumpkin curry is on my list of all time top ten favorite foods. It's spicy, it's sweet, it's nutty, it's soothing -- it has pumpkin. The curry sauce is so good I poured what I had leftover on my mashed potatoes the next day. Everything about Thai Pepper rocks. The service is great and so is the vibe. The location is a little out of the way though, which may be why I forget to go more often-- even though there's usually good parking and it's right around the corner from the salon that cuts my hair! Love this place. Love it love it love it.

Thai Pepper is a solid option if you're in the mood for authentic Thai food with generous portions…read moreand reasonable prices. The portion sizes were large, especially for the price point, which made it feel like good value. The restaurant itself is small so never unnecessarily crowded. Service could've been better, we had to request serval times for tableware and water refills. My only issue is that the spice level was underwhelming. I ordered a spice level 4, and even though I know spice is subjective, I'm not someone who can handle super spicy food even I was still wishing for more heat. If you're someone who enjoys bold spice, you may be disappointed. The standout dish of the meal was definitely Red Curry Duck. It was rich, flavorful, and easily the best thing we ordered.
