Lovely setting inside the little dutch mall and super convenient if you live in the area. Also a good option to go to before a theatre show but allow plenty of time as others may be doing so as well. The fresh spring rolls were delightful and the peanut sauce was very good. The Pad Thai was not to our liking, too much sauce and way too sweet. The sauce is brown and almost looks like gravy, again because there is way too much on it. We would not order it again. The yellow curry was made more traditionally and was very good. Service was very nice and polite and friendly. read more

The ambience was nice. Shrimp Tom Yum was outstanding. Pad kra pau and pad se ew bang. 11/10 would recommend to anyone. The Thai people working are incredibly welcoming. read more

Chandara House - Pad se ew - Thai Near Me - Lynden, Washington

Food was great. Ambiance is very nice with lots of Thai decor. Service was very good. The problem was with the pricing. We were there last week and were charged the price on the menu. This time the menu had the same price as last week but the tab was 25 percent more. No warning that the price was more than the menu price. I understand the prices are under siege and the internet info could be outdated but not the menu they hand to you. read more

This is a hidden gem in Lynden, in my opinion. The prices are unbeatable, and the food is great. Not as lavish as other Thai places, but so good for the price. We usually order takeout, but sometimes in person the service can be a bit slow. Although that's ok because of the quaint setting in the Dutch mall. read more

Ordered for takeout and the pad see ew was delicious!! Rich sauce and decent value for the serving. I wish there were a few more veggies, but overall, Chandara was great. read more

Chandara House - Pad see ew - Thai Near Me - Lynden, Washington

Overall, okay Thai restaurant. I always get pad kee mao (my favorite dish) at every Thai place I go to so I can compare. This wasn't my favorite version as I wish there was more veggies, but they did a decent job. Staff was incredibly kind, even though getting the food was pretty slow. The night we went, they were definitely prioritizing takeout orders over dine in. Almost an hour wait for our food, and we kept watching person after person picking up their to go orders at the desk. Interesting restaurant layout with it being inside a larger building. I thought it was cool and added to the experience. read more

Best food in Lynden! So good! Cool atmosphere! The service was extremely good! I've had food in Thialand and it is better here. read more

Had to add an update. AGAIN, the food tasted like excellent. As good as our last visit a couple of months ago. Pad Thai, Fried Rice and Fresh Rolls was exactly what we expected--fresh ingredients and made to our specific order. My wife can't eat spicy food and I'm at the other end with burning the plate. Service was good with two ladies this time instead of one but still only a few tables occupied. It's relatively quiet except for talking since the restaurant is in an open multiple independent stores similar to a mall. Worth the stop if you haven't been here. read more

First of all, beautiful decorations and ambiance! Food smelled great and was delicious with generous portions. Service was also great, our waitress, Pear, was sweet and attentive. read more

Do not trust the online order pickup time frame.. Made online order at 5:28 PM for a 6 PM pickup. Finally was able to get to the counter to pick up order at 6:15 PM to find out order hadn't even been processed and not ready. Order was finally ready at 6:30 read more

Been hesitant to try this place but decided to finally check it out. The fresh wraps were ok, but we shared and were t provided plates so we slopped food all over trying to eat them. But the pad Thai was quite possibly the worst I've ever had. Almost flavorless and the noodles were complete mush and dry of any sauce. What a bummer. Won't be back. read more

OK, I have not been back for a couple of years and I thought I would try it one more time. I now have to downgrade my review to a one star. Super expensive, small portions, no lunch special... I could go on and on. In additional that the service was very very very slow. Good food, but with all of the other things wrong, I would not go back read more

Extremely comfortable restaurant with excellent food and caring management. It is a bit hidden inside a small mall but once you are seated it's like sitting next to a lovely canal in Venice, plus small waterfall and koi fish. The owner has many large lush plants around, evoking happy, relaxed ambience. I note a few reviews criticize pricing and portions, However the food is as fresh, healthy and authentic as one can get, no fillers, msg or hidden carbs, Great value for the money. I can never finish the entire meal and take home the extra serving for a midnight snack. read more

The safe there are really friendly and the food is good as well! The decor is relaxing yet vibrant :). read more

We went to check out the Thai restaurant awarded 'the best Thai food in Whatcom County' according to the Bellingham Herald reader votes. We were pleased with the food, and will go back. read more

Chandara House - Fresh spring rolls - Thai Near Me - Lynden, Washington

Found myself in Lynden and starving and found Chandra House close by. The Yelp reviews were good , so excited to try a new place for Thai food, but was left disappointed. The atmosphere was fun, and loved the little bridge and pool of coy fish, but the food wasn't anything amazing. I ordered a take out order of Cashew Gai. I wasn't overly thrilled. It was really saucy, ordered 4 stars and couldn't even taste any spice, and had mushrooms, though it didn't say that on the menu. It was just bland and maybe had a few cashews in it. It hit the spot, but wouldn't go out of my way to ever go again. read more

Always fresh and good sized portions. Usually get take out and always ready and hot. Always very friendly. They have taken a difficult space and transformed it into a bit of Thailand. read more

Very tasty and you can order online and pick up which we do often. This food is what you'd expect from most Thai places. I like their consistency. read more

First time here and was a great experience! Had the Pineapple Curry with Prawns and some Thai Tea. Everything was so good! I also talked with the waitress a bit about Gluten Free options and she told me most of what they serve is GF and non GMO. Great to know for this place for those that need GF! read more

Chandara House - Thai Near Me - Lynden, Washington

Horrible service, dismissive, no eye contact, and didn't listen while taking my order. Got my order completely wrong, ordered vegetarian and got chicken. Don't waste your time or money when there's so many other places to eat. read more

This was by far the worst Thai food I've had in town. The flavor was poor and the ingredients didn't seem great. The server was very nice but the noodle dish was the worst I've ever had at a Thai restaurant. The Thai iced tea was tasty and the Tom yum soup was ok. read more

Being that we've been in that mall numerous times, we finally tried the restaurant. The Yelp reviews have been amazing! Chandra's House is settled in Lynden Downtown, inside the little mall. Koi fish swim about in the river-esk beneath the wooden pathway that brings you to the entrance of her outdoor seating area. The menu consists of all the traditional Thai plates. They didn't have a specialty plate, however everything we ordered was exceptional! I had the Pineapple Curry with my choice of tofu. My husband had the combo plate, Pad Thai, Panang Curry with brown rice. The kids had, Egg and Rice, and Chicken Teriyaki. Our server was sweet and very attentive. Though she was solo, serving the floor, she held her composure and smiled politely. We'll definitely be coming back! I love Thai food and Chandra's House did not leave us disappointed. I'd highly recommend this restaurant. It's nice to have authentic food in Lynden. read more

First time visit as we are spending the night in Lynden after having spent a whole day hiking Mount Baker. We had chicken satay, pad see ew, and prid king with white rice. The service was fast and food arrived hot. I would say their "three (out of five) stars spicy" is really more like one star for us - we're more accustomed to spicy Asian food. Other than that, they used fresh ingredients and everything tasted good. read more

I love this place! Good Thai food is hard to find especially in a small town. I love the Garlic lovers meal but the real treat is their Fresh Rolls. You will be pleasantly surprised by this light fare that is full of flavor. My wife gets these every time we come. read more

The service was good. The prices were fair. The food was ok, but not great. I had Pad Thai. The noodles were a little over cooked. My sister had Teriyaki chicken and the chicken was not grilled as I have usually had it. She said it was ok, but overall not impressed. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant or go again. read more

Didn't love my visit here. In from out of town and likely wouldn't go back. The best part of our food was the peanut sauce. That was on point, but that's where it stops. The pad Thai noodles were over cooked and mushy. The fresh rolls were underwhelming, the fried rice was okay but had too many Vegis for my liking. Not a huge fan of broccoli in my fried rice. It wasn't bad-just wasn't great. read more

The food here is always great, and most of the time you can get the owner to smile at you. But please, don't feed the koi fish any of your Kung Pow Chicken. read more

Thank you for offering takeout and practicing good safety measures during this virus. We really enjoyed our generous portion of Pad Thai and so nice to take a break from cooking and help out our local businesses. read more

Great authentic Thai food that my family and I enjoyed. However, having celiac disease, I did not feel completely safe eating here... I was welcomed into the kitchen to talk personally with the chef, but she seemed very confused with what gluten was. I decided to just order Thai fried rice with veggies with NO oils or spices. I had them reclean kitchen area as well. My meal was a little bland as a result of trying to be as safe as possible (no spices or sauces). I did not get sick, so I will call this restaurant celiac friendly, but not 100% safe, as chefs did not seem to understand what celiac disease is... read more

Went here for lunch the other day. It was as delicious as it was last time. Pumpkin prawn red curry for me, Tom kha (also with Prawns, though you can choose other proteins) for Madre. Love eating next to the van koi canal. Watch for koi fishies. read more

This place is totally inconsistent. I have had acceptable meals from here but tonight's takeout was inedible. We won't be back.

Amazing!! It's Lynden a hidden little gem!! The curry is great! My little kids loved the chicken satay with peanut sauce! They do to go orders! read more

The service was really good, but the food was extremely bland. No flavor. The best part of the meal was the rice and peanut sauce.

Best restaurant in Lynden! Lovely atmosphere, kind and helpful staff. And the food is so flavorful and delicious. My parents are huge Thai food snobs, and they gave it a big thumbs-up. read more

Loved the food. I had the Panang Curry with chicken and it was delicious. My dining companions had the Chicken Gai and they loved theirs, too. They have a good selection of beverages including beer and wine, all reasonably priced. I have struggled in the past with finding great food in this small town where my family lives but I will definitely return to Chandara House. They also offer take away. read more

Chandara House - Thai Near Me - Lynden, Washington

Very good Thai food, especially for the Lynden Bellingham area, was pleasantly surprised. My only complaint with the Pad Thai I ordered was the somewhat thick and sticky sauce, not something I'm used to and made the fish a little heavier than normal. Aside from that the flavor was very good, you could taste the tamarind and fish sauce, it was nicely balanced between sweet, sour, spicy, and savory. I enjoyed the amount of peanuts in the dish which was more than usual, and it was topped with the usual bean sprouts, green onions, a little carrot and lots of chicken. The noodles were cooked perfectly, still with a little chew to them, which was great considering I think they use dry noodles not fresh. All in all I will come back for sure when I'm in the area. read more

So happy Thai is in Lynden! Great authentic Thai food. When ordering take out it seems like they don't start making it until you get there, but that's the only flaw I've seen. Recommend the Pad see ew and swimming Rama. The peanut sauce is yummy! read more

Chandara House - The Chandara House entrance - Thai Near Me - Lynden, Washington

The current owner has significantly upgraded both the look of the place (only doing take-out at this time) and the food. The food is well prepared and the portions quite generous. The dishes we had (fresh rolls, garlic lover chicken, won ton soup, house salad (which is a very Asian dish) and Penang curry were excellent quality and seasoned 2-3 star nicely to our taste. Thankfully it seems to be surviving the COVID restrictions providing a nice Thai taste to Lynden restaurant scene. We highly recommend. read more
