When I lived on Greenwood I would come to this restaurant at least once a week, sometimes twice. I am both embarrassed and proud to say that when I would call in even months later after moving to a different area the staff would still recognize my voice and had my order memorized. I continue to passionately tell my coworkers, family and friends about it as well. All of the staff are super nice and always cook the best food. Chada Thai is my favorite Thai food restaurant in the area. I have never had something I didn't like here, but I am particularly attached to the various curries, and crispy garlic chicken. Order your favorite Thai dish and you will not be disappointed. read more

I have been ordering from here for over 10 years. Awesome every single time. I love that the spicy scale is "thai spicy" and not diluted for the masses. read more

Best thai spot hands down. They are very friendly and food is fantastic Pad Thai and spring rolls

Great food and fast service! This is my go to spot for tastey Thai and it's within walking distance from home. Highly recommend

Love. This. Place. YUMMY x10! Picked up a meal for a family of five - ready, hot, delicious - and ready in 15 minutes flat. Amazing and appreciated. read more

Got the vegetable pad Thai and added tofo, large portion sizes that lasted for three meals! The sauce was not greasy but well flavored. The crispy garlic chicken is the best, lots of flavor and a large portion, definitely a must get. read more

Amazing authentic Thai food. Spiciness is perfect. Good amount of vegetables in the dishes. The staff is very nice. I have only done take out from here, but it is always very quick! One time fried rice took less than five minutes! read more

I took my Mom here to eat a few days ago as it's in the neighborhood and was a place where I could get a tofu (vegan) option and she could get chicken. We both had Pad Thai. We chose our own seating and the waitress brought our menus and came back shortly thereafter with cool lemon water and took our order. We both enjoyed our food and made a point of getting a takeout menu so we could order and pick up next time. Can't wait to try some other items from their menu. The fact that this place seemed very clean was a big plus. read more

The food is pretty good, but the service is terrible. It's never that busy whenever I come by so I don't understand why the lady that takes my order each time I come here is always rude or has a bad attitude. There was a time I paid with my card, and left a cash tip on the table which she didn't see. She furiously asked "No tip?!" Excuse me??? I left your tip in CASH on the table, and you didn't even deserve the 20% tip. Yes, I understand it gets frustrating when customers don't leave a tip, but you don't ask your customers to tip you. read more

For me, this place checks the boxes. I love red curry, and there are only a handful of places in the general area that do it for me. The sauce, the selection of vegetables and the quality of meat all meet my expectations. I live in Mukilteo and drive out of my way to pick up this food. Add to that the kind employees and quality service, and you can't miss. I'm picky about my curry. If you're picky about your favorite Thai dish, then try Chada. There's a good chance they'll make you happy. read more

I never liked Pad Thai until coming here the woman as soon as I finish my order here says "for Joe?" And it puts a smile on my face everytime I've had a few other dishes like the pineapple fried rice and some fried chicken dishes and it's always above my expectations. I swore off Pad this until a friend made me try it. I can handle spicy and the 3* is tough to get through but so worth it because it packs extra flavor lacking in the 2* only know one person who has handled the 5*. When you dine in they have lemon in the water and always keep my cup full to deal with the spiciness. I literally never go to any other Thai restaurants despite no longer living nearby and go whenever I get the chance. I've taken a bunch of different people who all loved it. This is one of my top 5 places I've eaten! read more

Their take out is so wonderfully packed and as always, DELICIOUS!! i LOVE this place! I will drive any distance to get take out from here. The panang curry is too good. Thanks for being so good to us, Chada! (especially during covid :)) read more

Super yummy thai food! We love the mini spring rolls, pahd thai, and drunken noodle. Especially love the crispy garlic chicken. We order for pick up a majority of the time and it never takes more than 20 minutes. 4 stars because the pahd thai isn't always consisten in flavor. Sometimes they are heavy handed with the fish sauce. read more

So, as my super-amazingly-awesome roommate (who also introduced me to the Yelp world btw) knows, I love, Love, LOVE Thai food! Seriously. I mean it. I work in the very north end of Seattle which is how I found Chada Thai, an unassuming little joint in basically a strip mall. It's not the fanciest or flashiest place, but I have often found that some of the best food comes from the most unassuming places and am so glad I gave it a try. While I have read some of the mixed reviews, I have to say that I have been here many times and really enjoy this little restaurant. The family that owns it is very sweet and will remember your order if you have been there a few times. It's not somewhere I usually head to if I'm feeling fancy and looking for ambience, but for good reasonably-priced Thai food (with a respectable spice level) Chada Thai is a standby for me. For some reason I can't identify, this place is not my favorite for the phad thai, but my coworkers really enjoy it so I'm not sure what my problem is. However, I have had the red curry, phad see ew, rad na, swimming rama, phad kee mao, tom kha gai, green curry, basil chicken, phad ka na, spring rolls and thoroughly enjoyed them all - the tom kha gai soup is an amazing giant bowl of deliciousness! While I'm not usually a dessert person, they recently added sticky rice and mango to the menu and it was perfectly ripe and wonderful. read more

The Pad Thai is great. However, it is very very spicy. I got 2 stars and it was more like a 5. So spicy I needed a lot of milk in order to eat it. I would recommend getting a lower star level, especially if you do not like your food that spicy! All in all, I would definitely go back, but I would get 1 star or even 0. Also, the prices are great! read more

One of my favorite Thai places. Food is always consistently delicious, fast service, I have no complaints.

BAD ATTITUDE AND TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE I've never wrote a yelp review until now. I've been a loyal patron of Chada Thai for about 6 months.The owner and waitress is never really polite but I've ignored her obvious attitude for the sake of good food. For the first time I took an associate there for lunch yesterday; she ordered a Thai coffee that was unusually bitter and asked if she could swap it for a Thai Tea instead. We just spent $50 dollars on food but the owner refused to make her a new drink (which would have cost .30 cents to make)! She argued with my colleague and said it was her fault that she didn't like the drink! She proceeded to argue with her, and mock her as she turned her back on her while she was talking and walked back into the kitchen. Shocked, and embarrassed that I recommended a place that would treat clients so poorly, I was speechless and didn't say a thing. Not wanting to add to the very hostile attitude the lady was giving us, I just paid and walked out. I later called to speak to the owner and let her know how my friend was treated (to my surprise she was the owner), she pretty much reprimanded me on the phone and continued to argue with me, ending the call saying she's busy and didn't have time to listen to me. I never once raised my voice or became disrespectful, in fact I tried to still be very polite... but the complete RUDENESS and disregard for customer service has put this restaurant on my "never go back list". I do not need her Thai food that bad! I would much rather go to Thai Siam down the street and get better food/ environment and support someone who actually cares. In a city filled with great Thai food, it's amazing that people still go here, NO THANKS! read more

I'm really honestly sad to be giving this place two stars, but after what I experienced, I can't let it go unsaid. This place is close to home, and I've been going here for years. Not only has the quality in the food gone downhill, the service is even worse. The staff, the main lady who works here in particular is flat out rude. My boyfriend came here during his lunch for work, he repairs sewers and he was wearing his work boots. They don't have a mat at the front door or anything, so when he came in, a little bit of dirt came off onto the floor. The lady came up sweeping and scolding him telling him to take his shoes off outside before he came in. Not only that there was a teenage duo that ordered the crispy garlic chicken and when they bit into it, it hurt their mouth, the same lady that was so rude to my boyfriend told them "never order it again if you hate it". They didn't hate it, they tried explaining they come there all the time and it was never like this and she just repeated herself. Unfriendly service, rude to customers and cannot take criticism. I honestly used to really like this place, but I don't think anyone should run a business like this. Literally no smiles, no thank yous' or have a nice day. I won't be giving them my business anymore, when I go out I like to feel like a welcomed guest, but you won't get that here, at least not anymore :( read more

This is our neighborhood Thai place, and after being Thai-deprived for many years we think it's very good. We get take-out from here about once a week. The chicken satay skewers are moist and flavorful and the pud thai is delicious (even if it looks a little bland in color). The medium spice is pretty hot to us, though in a good way. We're happy to have in the hood! read more

This place is so good I have the crispy garlic chicken every time I go is only $15 they are so nice to me

I've been coming to this restaurant for over 15 years now and it is still my favorite Thai restaurant for spicy pad thai and spring rolls. I've never been disappointed! read more

i just had a very pleasant little box of chicken pad thai from this place. the egg and tofu bits were plentiful, and it was very spicy for two stars, and the sauce wasn't unctuous sugary bullshit, definitely homemade. lots of peanuts and a little red cabbage in there, a nice aesthetic touch. huge portion for like seven bucks. the lady was friendly and fixed it up real quick like. well done, especially for a strip mall. i'm impressed. read more

My favorite neighborhood Thai place. First off, the food is delicious. I have tried everything on the menu and it is all good. My favorites are the beef pad see ew, the crispy garlic chicken, and my wife likes the cashew chicken, and pineapple fried rice. It gets busy so I like to order take out. And the heat star system is very hot. I can handle heat, but the 3 star humbled me. The owners/staff treat me like family. This place is great! Eat here! read more

I drive from granite falls to eat here!!; If you don't like spicy food try somewhere else but Thai is spice...

This is a place that will know your order after you've been in a few times. It's fun to order 'the usual' from the terrifically friendly 'So What' ( a phoenetic interpretation of the owner's name) famous for his smile and 'No problem!' response to almost any request. For years, I was partial to the beef curry and the fab satay. We drop in here on occasion still, even though we have a neighborhood Thai place closer to home. I've brought friends and family here, too, who have also found the food enjoyable. I'm surprised at the negative posts from other reviewers. Perhaps an off night. Give it a try. It's not fancy, but I've always been satisfied. read more

Moved to Seattle almost 2 years ago and never really found a great Thai place that's reasonably priced. I have to admit that I was a bit sketched out considering the location of the restaurant, but it was suprisingly good. The little boy/host is a riot and always makes me laugh. The staff always seems to remember everyone that comes in. Several times, they've asked us if we want our "regular" order. I gotta say...the coconut milk/lemongrass soup is fantastic - well flavored, spicy and with just a little hint of sweetness. The green curry is also fantastic. There have been times that I've taken my spoon and eaten the leftover curry even after all the meat and veggies are gone. It's that tasty. I've gone to other Thai places with comparable prices. Chada Thai is the only one that I've gone back to. read more

Wayyy overrated. Everything I had was too sweet and customer service was unfriendly and shitty as hell. Would never ever come back.

Great Thai food. The family that runs it knows and recognizes regulars. Take out or dine in. Is it the fanciest of places? No, but a lot of great places to eat in Seattle are just a hole in the wall read more

Worst service ever! The food is above average but the lady is extremely rude. I've come here several times before and I only came for the food. Today my girlfriend came to the counter to pay and she bluntly asked for tip. I will never come back to this place. I will never recommend this place for anybody. read more

I've tried tons, if not most, of the Thai places in town. This one is easily in the top 10th percentile. Everything I've had is very good. Crispy garlic chicken is outstanding. read more

I don't know what I would do without this restaurant! Crispy Garlic Chicken aka "Crack Chicken" is the neighborhood favorite!

Without a doubt the best Asian food I've ever had. I got lucky and moved next door to it a year ago. No matter where I live in Seattle I will always come to chada for my Thai food. It's that good. read more

I've only been once, so far, but I love the fact that when I ask for spicy, I get spicy. I like that the phad thai doesn't have the color or flavor of ketchup. I recommend it if you live in the neighborhood. read more

Omg. I've been to a lot of Thai restaurants and this is the best by far!!!! They know how to make it spicy! I usually order five stars but only 2 1/2 here! So good! Garlic fried chicken, ultimate fried rice, phad Thai, red curry chicken.... Everything is so good! You can't go wrong here!! You will never go anywhere else for Thai food once you try this place! read more

My boyfriend and I love food and could easily be considered food critics. I initially signed up for a yelp acount to talk about this place and how much i love it. Like others have said, don't be fooled by the looks of it from the outside or the first impression of the lady that works there..she dosn't come off as very friendly but I asure that isn't the case. She is an extremely hard working woman and in a matter of two visits she already had my order memorized. Shes just a little reserved is all. This place is by far my favorite thai restaurant in Seattle and will now and forever be a loyal customer. Lunch special is killer. Best phad thai I've ever had. If you know whats good for you, try this place. read more

They have the best yellow curry. I am addicted. I come here about once a month for my spicy fix!

Our waitress was initially unpleasant and the service got worse from there. She seemed irritable while we were ordering and acted put out when we ordered rice after our food arrived. We ordered pad thai with 2 stars. When it arrived it was very spicy. Much more so than I have ever had anywhere else and my mouth was burning. We brought this to the attention of the server. She said we were expecting "American 2 stars" and she served us "thai 2 stars." Honestly, I don't think she realized how spicy it was. She continued to argue and blame us for not liking it. She refused to remake it with 0 stars. She offered more peanut sauce to make what we had more palatable. We did eat the chicken fried rice and tofu swimming rama. That food tasted good. We finished all but the inedible fire spiced pad thai. The waitress offered us a box for the pad tai, which we declined. In the end she charged us $5 for the pad tai, which is a little less than half off. In the end we were very displeased with the customer service and will not ever return. read more

I'll have to say this is my favorite thai place!! Great food, great prices and friendly staff. I go there so often the owner knows me by first name and ALWAYS asks about my family. I hope they're enjoying their vacation, but I'm ready for them to come back(selfish thinking lol) read more

Passable Thai food in a typical restaurant setting with the obligatory Thai artwork on the walls. This place has been in the Broadview neighborhood for years and has an established customer base so they must be doing something right even if its only average. read more

I love Chada Thai! Friendly family-owned business with fantastic food, good size portions and good prices! Phad Kee Mao is my current favorite. I also love their Phad See Ew and curries! Their fresh rolls are yummy and come with a unique sweet and spicy sauce. So delicious! read more
