A cute place in a little mini-mall off of Sunset Blvd and Front Street. There was only one other…read moredine-in table there on a Monday night, but their takeout business was on fire! There were never fewer than 3-4 takeout orders on the counter the entire time we were there. We had the shrimp fresh rolls, fish cakes, Prik King with chicken, and took home the chicken laab. Everything was great! And we are very particular about Thai food. The brisk takeout business vs the slower dine-in speaks to the introversion of your typical Issaqhah resident. If you want to meet people, try Enzo at Happy Hour. But I can guarantee you will see us here once or twice a month. Yummy!

I got the lunch special which has chicken curry and pad Thai. This one was really good, and best value for variety, but definitely commands a bit of premium. My partner got the drunken noodles which is very salty but at least very flavorful. Service is good - despite ordering as pickup, we told them we intended to dine in (also double checked by calling in advance) and they were able to plate it up for good presentation. Also, water refills are frequent which I appreciate.

This is it for us. Our new favorite thai restaurant in Issaquah. Based on what we ordered;…read moreeverything was so right and hit all the spot. A nice small restaurant with good amount of options to choose from the menu. The staff were super friendly and polite. We can smell the foods being cook in the back; making our appetite even stronger. What we got: Pad Thai w/ tofu (5/5) We asked for "thai spicy" and it delivered! Super spicy BUT it retains all the other plavors; it was the perfect pad thai for us. We were crying by how spicy it was; but it was so good. Totally Garlic Crispy Chicken (5/5) Hands down one the best garlic chicken. Its crunchy, saucy, garlicy and we asked for "thai spicy" as well; and its still soooo sooo flavorlfull even with the amount of chili. Iced thai coffee and iced thai tea (4/5) Great drinks and not as sweet as other thai restaurants. It was delicious Tom Yum Soup (4/5) Great soup; not mind blowing good; but it was delicious regardless; (might got overshadow by how good the other dishes were) Overall We will be back for sure and try their other offering. And i would recommend this place to everyone. As long they stay consistent; we will go back everytime we crave thai foods.

Bai Tong's restaurants are very professionally run establishments, with beautiful decor and…read moreambiance and exceptionally gracious employees. I recently enjoyed a happy hour at the Redmond location, with an excellent dish of Pad Thai with a very dense sauce that most other Thai restaurants in the area would do well to emulate. This was followed by a full dinner at the Issaquah Highlands location. The selection and quality of food were on par with the best local Thai restaurants, and the hardbound menus with photos of all the offerings are a particularly nice touch. Another very nice and professional touch was that the waitress who took our order repeated the order so that we could confirm it was exactly right. If you like spicy food, don't hesitate to be aggressive with the spice numbers, or to ask for a side of hot sauce. I could easily have lived with more than the three out of five stars that I ordered, but now I know for next time. I am very enthusiastic about this enterprise and wish I could express my unqualified approval. Unfortunately, there was one thing that prevented me from giving five stars, and that is that most of the food was flat out cold. I do not know what the solution is, but it is an issue that we have not encountered at other Thai restaurants, so we know it can be managed. Perhaps it would be with less aggressive air conditioning, serving dishware that better retains the heat, or something else. It was exacerbated by the way everything we ordered was brought out pretty much all at once. This should not have happened. The entrees should not have been brought out until we were finished with the appetizers. They would have tasted so much better if they had been hot enough. I addressed this issue with one of the wait staff and was given some kind of explanation having to do with heat lamps in connection with the food needing to be all ready at once. This is not acceptable. I sincerely hope that the restaurant will address this issue. We took most of our food home for later consumption, and of course it won't be a problem when we can heat it at home ourselves, but it had me less enthusiastic than I wanted to be about returning for on site dining. In sum, very, very good, but it could have been excellent. Please watch the timing of serving sequences and ensure that the dishes are hot before they are brought to the table. I hope to be able to revise my review to give five stars next time!

The place doesn't look appealing from the outside. It's pretty simple, a bit dark. It's a small space inside, a bit crowded and not particularly enticing. It's like eating in a home. The servers are pretty friendly, warm and sweet. The best thing about this place is the food. We had a lot of dishes. The fried tofu was simple and good. The green curry was creamy. The Pad See Ew, Crying Tiger Salad, Eggplant with Minced Pork, Pork Belly with Gai Lan were all delicious. The Sticky Rice with Mangoes were also yummy. Each of the dishes we tasted had their own distinctive and authentic tastes. It felt like eating in your mom's or grandma's house.

I used to eat here and told many others about this delicious Thai food place. Recently their social media posted to on their official Facebook page regarding the loser Charlie Kirk and his values. That post from their official Facebook page does not match my values. Sadly I will no longer be spending my dollars here, or telling others to. They of course removed their post to hide their poor values after many negative comments echoing my sentiments. There are many other great food options in the area to enjoy. I was so sad to see them fall from my favorite Thai takeout.

There is nothing boastful about it, the owner can be a little militant and he might have intimidated me the first time I went in, but I'm sure he is a softie at heart. The rest of the staff is sweet. And one thing is for sure they work hard and really make delightful Asian fusion mostly Vietnamese inspired dishes. I love the matcha with boba milk tea. I find it so refreshing and almost a meal in itself. I am also partial to the Banh mi and pork belly bun sandwiches. The sandwiches are perfectly seasoned and their pickled ingredients give it the right tang. The bread on the Banh mi is light, crispy and fresh. I actually haven't tried anything else because I'm always needing something quick to go. Next time I may have to sit and enjoy a meal and boba. And I'll add photos next time.

We have dined here before over the years -- over the decades. The current owners (?)/staff seems a bit overwhelmed when restaurant became full. Service is courteous but slow.

I tried the Tom Yum with Basa Fish -- spice got bit overwhelming toward the end, but good ... lots of ingredients. But, I'm giving them 3 stars, an average. They have too many competitors that delivers much better dishes in the area.

Chicken Teriyaki is grilled but very moist. The chicken is high quality... thick, juicy, and not overly seasoned (many places are way too salty). It is my favorite in the greater Seattle area. He also makes yummy Chicken Katsu. The oil is never old because the panko is always a golden brown. You can get a combo plate--one fillet of Katsu and another Teriyaki--for $16.99 (which is a great price for the amount of food and the quality). 2/SERVICE. Dine-in service is prompt even though it is just him. He is always filling up your water and checking in on if the food is tasty. When it gets busy, however, he is the only person working at times. However he will still make time to check on the dining room every 5 minutes between preparing orders. Take out service is very fast. Call ahead for quick pickup. I highly recommend coming here for dine in or take out. It is located right on Front Street with ample parking.
