    Cashew Delight/chicken - amazing!!
    Christine M.

    we love this place! She makes amazing food! Lots of seats good for group! They do a lot of takeout!!! the service is friendly and the food has great flavor! We have been coming here many many times!!

    Came on a weeknight and was seated immediately. We tried three different dishes between the two of us (with lots of leftovers) including beef pad see ew, the special spicy noodles and a tofu green curry with white rice. The pad see ew was really tasty and had good flavor. The spicy noodles were good but not as good as the pad see ew but also packed with flavor. The tofu green curry had a many chunks of delicious fried tofu which I enjoyed, but of note they used regular eggplant (not thai eggplant) and there was no bamboo. Prices were very reasonable for portion size (of note, rice is extra charge on the side for curry) and overall a decent place. Will plan to check out other restaurants in the area but very willing to come back as I was satisfied with my meal.

    Wow. Amazing flavor! Top 1 or two of Thai food I've ever had. Prompt friendly service. Very clean dining area. I recommend this spot if you're in Lynwood 100%!

    Chicken pad see ew
    Cheol K.

    Located across from H Mart in the Alderwood Mall shopping area. This is in the same building as the Happy Lemon. I ordered the chicken pad see ew at a medium spicyness. The server understood the mission. She brought me out a wonderfully cooked dish where the noodles were cooked just right, not too done, and not too soft & slimy. Great flavor and a generous amount of chicken. I was pleasantly full with the serving size. Lunch prices are very reasonable.

    Food was good. It's was quick as well. We got fried rice that was kind of blend for me but vegetarian wide noodles were great.

    Phad Kee Mao

    This is an amazing Thai Food restaurant, in the Greater Seattle area. The food was outstanding, so was the service. I ordered the Phad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles) and Cashew Delight, both meals were incredible. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    No clear closing time. Lack of effort or care for their clients.

    The food is good but its hit and miss if the place is open. They don't have the hours posted but tonight I arrived at 8:30 and a couple were still eating dinner I asked for a order to go and was told that they stop taking orders at 8:30. I told the lady is 8:30 and she declined to take my to go order. I asked the owner why aren't your hours posted. She said she is working on a new sign. Yelp list the closing time at 9:00 but that is not correct. I'm done with these people. I'm not going to return here anymore.

    Pad Phad Kee Mao and Paneng Neua
    Michael D.

    Very friendly and fast service. The Panang Curry was amazing! It had so many layers of flavor and the perfect mouth feel. Also lots of basil. The Drunken Noodles were good, but lacked the layers of flavor that the curry had. The fried tofu was perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside with silky, creamy inside.

    Phad Prik King
    Joanna P.

    This is an underrated thai spot in the Alderwood area that doesn't look like much, but will become a favorite once you try the food. I got the chicken phad prik king and the special tom yum noodle which I haven't seen at a lot of thai restaurants. Both dishes were delicious but I must say that the tom yum noodle was definitely my favorite. The broth is absolutely delicious with the right amount of sour and saltiness, and the noodle completes the dish and makes it more filling. The phad prik king was pretty standard, but I definitely wish it was a bit spicier for 3 stars so I may do 4 stars next time. I came on a weekday afternoon so it wasn't that busy. There was only one server but it didn't take too long to get the dishes. However, I could definitely see it being a lot slower with only one or two servers during peak hours so I would keep that in mind. On another note, I really appreciate that their menu is very easy to read, and they put stars next to their recommendations so I don't have to ask. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes in the future.

    Pot Sticker
    Mai L.

    I ordered to go online and it was quick and easy. It was going to be jury 15-20 minutes. I arrived probably within 10 minutes and it was ready so that was really nice. I ordered the Pad Sew Lew with choice of protein - I got beef. And I also got the potstickers to start too. The potstickers were nicely cooked outside and lots of flavor. Came with a dipping sauce. The pad sew lew was great! Good flavors and I liked the big rice noodles. I enjoyed it and cannot wait to come back and try other things!

The interior is open yet has a rustic charm, and the service was great and attentive throughout our meal. As for the food, it was a bit of a mixed experience. The lettuce wrap was a skip for me; the ground chicken was a little too "wet," making it messy to eat, and the flavor was just okay. The fried chicken had good seasoning but was overcooked and ended up on the dry side. On the brighter side, the herbal soup was flavorful with lots of fresh veggies, though the dill on top might be a bit much unless you're a big dill fan. The phad kee mao was excellent -- sweet, savory, and definitely the standout dish. And the shrimp eggroll came out piping hot and crispy, which was awesome. Overall, solid service and convenient location, but the food had its highs and lows.

On a weekend lunchtime, the place was super empty. Servers were friendly and attentive too. For food, we ordered the Thai iced tea, papaya salad, the Lao sausage, Khao poon, and nam Khao. Thai iced tea was sweet, but I could very much taste the tea flavor, it was refreshing. The Lao style papaya salad is extremely fishy and shrimpy but super umami and tasty. The little baby crab legs are a fun surprise too haha. Lao sausage had a satisfyingly crunchy skin, and the sausage inside was flavorful. Khao poon big flavor and yum too. The pork rib pieces did smell a bit though which I wasn't a huge fan of, but didn't deter me that much. Nam Khao was definitely the standout dish for me. I love fried rice with ginger, so this really hit the spot. Add in the crunch of the charred bits of rice, the slight chew from the rice itself, and the umami from the fish sauce. Omg. Wrapping it in lettuce can get a bit messy but it's so good in lettuce too Overall wowow. Portions are really big too, so we had a ton of leftovers to bring home. And I'll be dreaming about the food here for awhile haha
