I called at around 530 on a Monday and my order was ready for pick up at around 540 This was ~$18 Good, an average amount of meat but a lot of noodles I also noticed that the tables were back, and I confirmed w the owner that they are back to doing sit down orders too now read more

Cherry Street Thai - 33. Pad Kee Mao beef - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is definitely a heavy to go place. Restaurant hasn't been updated since the 80's. Doesn't stop the three older ladies from running the shop. The food wasn't the best or worst just average. The 4 stars is for good portion size, served on a full plate piled high. Looks to be independently owned. Had drunken noodles with chicken. Two thumbs up. read more

Very nice Thai food and great value for Seattle. Now they have indoor seating, but it's best to take take out imo.

I haven't been able to try a good majority of the menu just yet. But my friend and I are absolutely obsessed with their fried rice. I've gone multiple times now and the food is always delicious. Just to try, I've switched up the protein for the fried rice and it tastes amazing with anything. Another thing I appreciate is that they don't skimp on the portions! Food is prepared in a timely manner and the ladies working there are so sweet. This is a go to spot for me! read more

Cherry Street Thai - 6. Crab Delight 51. Garlic Fried Rice 3. Chicken Wings - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Food: I got the basil fried rice with tofu (1 star spice) and it was delicious. The tofu was well cooked and evenly proportioned. I did wish the veggies were a bit more cooked. My boyfriend got the Pad Kee Mao with chicken. He wished it was a little less saucy. Service: the service was great! The waitress took our order via phone and was super appreciative that we waited in line for pickup. Ambiance: the place is cozy. We do wish there were inside seating options! read more

I got the Panang curry and sticky rice and let me say it was AMAZING. Also super fast pick up time and super sweet worker lady :) will absolutely be my new Thai go to in the neighborhood read more

Takeout only restaurant! The portions are HUGE. I wish I upped my spice star-level because I thought the 3-stars on the pad Thai was actually less spicy than expected. My pad see-ew was tasty and the order took 15 minutes for pickup. read more

Cherry Street Thai - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is one of my favorite Thai restaurants in Seattle. The portions are big (I can get 2-3 meals out of it), the food is reliable, and the price is good for the amount of food you get. I've tried the pad kee mao and rama noodles, both of which are full of flavor and leave me wanting more. When I've gone with my family, I've had bites of their curry and pad see ew, and all have delicious, rich flavor in each bite. The one downside is it is take out only (they stopped indoor seating during COVID), and it can be hard to reach the restaurant via phone. I've had to call multiple times, sometimes, but someone always picks up eventually. Food pickup is quick and easy. read more

Sorry but this is just not good thai food. The pad thai was too sweet and a solid glob when we picked it up. The curries were thin and lacked depth of flavour along with very little protein, especially for the price. The kids thought the fried rice was good, but the fish cakes were rubbery and the gyoza were not tasty. It was super disappointing as this is our new local, but we have since gone further afield down to Columbia City where we had much, much better. read more

TAKE-OUT ONLY!!! None of the reviews I read mentioned that they don't do dine-in. Pretty disappointed cause it was a 20 min wait and street parking was difficult. There's not much to do while waiting except sitting in your car. I ordered chicken pad thai and green curry. It was ok. Wasn't the worst thai food I've had and wasn't the greatest. The green curry had a good kick to it. Paid about $32 for the two entrees. Disappointed because I'm not from the area so I relied on Yelp to satisfy my craving and this place did not hit the spot. read more

Ok, I was driving and like a good citizen, was using Bluetooth, so I couldn't remember the name of the dish I always get but asked for the tofu dish with glass noodles, went through two,...pad kee mao and pad see ew before I remembered it was called pad woon sen. During this time, the woman on the other end kept telling me they didn't have a glass noodles dish, until after about 3 minutes when I remembered the right name, then she was like, "oh yeah! Ok, the one with glass noodles." Sigh, I should've taken this as the first sign I should look elsewhere for dinner. Picked up takeout and it was almost $18 for one dish! Absurd! Got home, opened the container and it was basically just overcooked glass noodles clumped together with a few bits of oily onions, some celery and small, sad pieces of tofu. It was SO dry it was inedible until I added some water and chili sauce (I asked for 5*, which it was most definitely not, there was nary a flavor to be found). To top it off, I woke up with stomach pains and had a not-quite-so-nice time in the bathroom afterwards. Ugh, I was really hoping I could have something nearby that was open late. One star is for the 10p closing time and the other for the nice women in the restaurant. read more

I never leave reviews but I had to make an account just for this one. I'm visiting from California where I actively try tons of Thai Food(It's my favorite) and I stumbled by this one just randomly because it was the only thing open near my airbnb. Lemme prefice this by saying I tried every possible "famous" foods in downtown from the chowder, fish, Piroshky and don't get me wrong they were good but they weren't anywhere near as good as this was. This is the BEST thai food that i've ever had, I would come here even if they had the worst customer service ever but the crazy part is the ladies were so sweet and polite. I genuinely don't know how this place isn't more popular my only guess is because it's not directly in downtown. Although take out is always a good option, I invite you to maybe sit down and eat a meal, it just makes it that much better. Pad See Ew, Pad Kee Mao and Red Curry were amazing but i'm sure the rest is equally as good. Seattle was an amazing experience, the only bad part being not having this restaurant when I get back home. read more

Cherry Street Thai - Menu May 2024 - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This food is top notch and it's in the neighborhood!!! Between the garlic garlic and the ginger vegetable I fight between the two and usually just get both lol!!! read more

Beware, this is not currently a dine in establishment. I should have ordered ahead of time since I had to spend time commuting there anyways. Also beware, they make some darn good Thai food for the price. I wasn't mad I had to wait a bit for my food. I barely beat the rush of customers so luckily I got to watch them prepare my food with everyone and didn't have to also drool over other peoples orders. There isn't much waiting room inside either. I got my food and left immediately. The area gets packed very easily. Luckily parking isn't too bad, but still not easy. I found parking right out front but there are only maybe 3 or 4 spaces. You won't have too much of a problem parking I'm around the corner or in the neighborhood nearby. It's Seattle, many many places share this parking situation. Now for the food. Have you read the other reviews. That mini waiting room wasn't packed and spilling out into the street for no reason. This food is delicious, especially at this price point. I found the wide noodle to be very juicy and tender. Almost perfect. The curry was good also, but did didn't have as much panang flavor that I wanted. Maybe I should have asked for a higher spice level. Compared to some of the other Thai restaurants, this place won't let you down, but won't wow you. You can get everything they order almost everywhere else and it will taste just as delicious depending on the dish. If you're not looking for the perfect pace for a date and just want some good affordable food, these guys have what you need. Now if you want Thai food that will really impress a friend or your own taste buds, look elsewhere. read more

Disappointed because it's close to my house. The pad Thai was weirdly sweet and plain, the Thai crispy chicken was soggy and it taste like it was premade and from a frozen bag and the chicken fried rice was also plain w the only veggies was half cooked onions. read more

Updating to five stars after going back a couple times and falling in love with the quality. When inside the kitchen is widely visible. You can hear, see, and smell all of the sizzling activity, confirming the freshness that comes in each bite. Everything is jam packed with flavor. Their peanut sauce is also "the best I've ever had" according to my super picky boyfriend! read more

One of the best places for Thai food in Seattle, and it's not crazy expensive. This has been my go to spot since finding out about it for sure read more

Went for lunch and timed it just right , before all the school kids showed up !! My wife and I shared the chicken pad Thai , it was good but we ordered a 2 heat and it was a little hot , not inedible. My friend got crispy chicken and ordered 4 heat and it was very mild, good but mild, we think they switched up the heat on the dishes. We called and it was ready when we got there. No seating , take out only !! read more

I called in an order for pickup at around 5:30pm on a Saturday and it took about 15 minutes for it to be ready. There is some street parking in the area and some residential parking a little further away. You can choose your spice levels from 0-5 stars and for all of the dishes I ordered I got 2 stars which was a good level of spice. You can definitely taste the spice but it doesn't make the dish unbearable. CHICKEN WINGS ($11.95) - The wings were not super crispy but they were flavorful, tender, and fall-off-the-bone. The dipping sauce that comes with it is nice too. 4.5/5 PAPAYA SALAD ($11.95) - At first the papaya salad was not as cold as I was expecting but still very good. It was like room temperature (whereas usually I expect colder) but I put it in the fridge and it was better the day after. 4/5 PAD THAI CHICKEN ($12.95) - The pad thai is slightly sweet but very flavorful. The lime balances out the sweetness and the spice was perfect to round out the dish. This was probably my favorite dish of everything I got. 5/5 YELLOW CURRY BEEF ($13.95) - The flavors were great, the beef was nice, and the eggplant was an interesting touch. The curry itself was slightly thicker than liquidy but not as thick as others I've had. The day after it was in the fridge, it was a lot thicker which I liked. What I really like about this is that it comes with rice (you can choose white or brown) which isn't common at all Thai places. 4.5/5 THAI CRISPY CHICKEN ($13.95) - It doesn't have the word garlic in the title or the menu but it does contain garlic which is awesome. Again, this dish comes with rice and I like the stickiness of the sauce and the sauce goes well with the rice. I wish there was more of it! 4.5/5 TOM YUM NOODLE SOUP PRAWNS ($11.95) - This has great flavor and goes well with the noodles. I wish there were more things in it such as fish balls as it was just the soup and the prawns. 4/5 Add this place to my list of favorite Thai places in the Seattle area. I have high standards for Thai food and everything I got here was fantastic and flavorful. read more

This is our go to takout Thai spot in the area. It is a pretty small place on the inside that is often full so we usually opt for takeout. The food is always consistently tasty. I've tried a variety of things like the Khao Soi or the Pad Kee Mao and they are all good. My gf likes to get the Pad Thai as it isn't overly sweet here. We usually like to get the chicken satay or gyoza or maybe both to go with our meal as well. I recommend the satay more as it is very flavorful and the peanut sauce and cucumbers are really good and probably go well with some of your other food too. The staff is always very friendly and the food never takes long to be ready. I am excited to try some of their other dishes like their curries in the near future! read more

Cherry Street Thai - Pad Kee Mao (with chicken) - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I was deputized to come up with a dinner solution around 9 on a Friday night. Cherry Street Thai to the rescue. I went down there the week before with the ol' ball and chain, we were disappointed that it's takeout only. But their takeout game is strong! They whipped up a couple dishes and some Spring Rolls in 10 minutes. The portions are HUGE. We could have split one. If you need some Thai in a pinch or just in general, try them! read more

Cherry Street Thai - Pad Kee Mao and Pad Thai! - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Unfortunately I have never been able to try this place. On several occasions I have called them and never gotten an answer. One time I walked over and they happened to be closed that day. Again, I have made over 10 calls some of which ask me to type in my phone number and then ask for a PIN number. Most of the time it rings and no one picks up. I see the great reviews and would love to try, but I don't see how one gets food from here. There is no online ordering system either. And no up to date online menu or website. read more

Incredible food at a reasonable price which isn't common in Seattle. The staff are always friendly and its the perfect take out spot. The drunken noodles always have the perfect amount of spice and everything I've had there is always fresh and delicious. read more

I just finished lunch: a delicious bowl of leftover green beef curry ($14.95) from last night's takeout from Cherry Street Thai. Heated up, it was just as tasty as yesterday. Unfortunately, there wasn't any of the shrimp pad thai ($14.95) leftover, as yesterday, after I THOUGHT I was done, I nibbled at it and bit by bit, and I ate it all...you know how that goes. All this to say that I feel lucky that Cherry Street Thai exists, and even better, is in the neighborhood. The food is the best Thai I've experienced, the prices are realistic (not cheap nor expensive), the service fast and friendly. The portions are generous--two picks are plenty for two average eaters. Rice is included with the price of most curry. Yes, sometimes it's challenging to call an order in as the phone is often busy, but eventually you get through. Here's the crowning cherry: the dish that I crave the most, and is difficult to find in Seattle's Thai food scene, is khao soi, a Northern Thailand soup noodle, rich and spicy. Cherry Street Thai is my go-to spot for this specialty, served over crispy noodles. If you are in the mood for takeout Thai, I suggest you try Cherry Street Thai. I would selfishly like to see them flourish and be enjoyed by appreciative appetites for a long time...so I can secure my source for khao soi. read more

PAD KEMAO!! This place slaaaaps. I been looking for a delicious Thai restaurant in seattle since the place I used to go to started becoming inconsistent and a little watery. Cherry street revived me! I remember coming here before I moved here years ago when it was called Lotus Thai and I remember it was so good then too. Idk how I had forgotten about this place. The only issue is it is a little out of the way if you don't have a car! Currently they just do takeout, no dine in. Make sure to call ahead to go so you don't wait too long there. read more

The Pad Thai seems to have a bit too much sugar for my taste. I'd prefer a more subtle sweetness, something that doesn't evoke the flavor of corn syrup. read more

The food is SO GOOD. I ordered the pad see ew and veggie fried rice thinking I'd get a small take out box amount. Let me tell you, these things were large and FILLED. Amazing. I paid about $15 for each. The flavors are so good, nothing is bland. You also get to choose your spice level. The restaurant is not open for dine in and the space they have set up for take out is quite small, which is great because it limits how many people can be inside at once. The staff is super friendly. They're following Covid precautions pretty strictly. Wiping things down, clean pens, gloves and masks (even the chefs). Definitely will be eating here again because it did not disappoint. read more

It's frustrating that this place does not answer their phones especially when this is a take out only spot. There is also limited parking in the area. So, when you arrive you'll need to give them your order in person and wait 20 minutes or more for your food to be ready. The food has been amazing when I've been able to order. But, not at all worth the wait for them to answer their phone, or when you arrive in person to get your food. Either way, the wait is just frustrating and disappointing. read more

This place has great prices and great food. I have loved this place and will continue to enjoy their amazing food.

Always closed!!! Literally every time I go or call they're closed. Never open during posted hours

Called in an order for pickup and they got order ready on time. Restaurant is blocked off so you can't enter. You can only pick up your food, pay and leave. Portions were huge! I loved the pad thai and the pad kee mao flavors. Only wished there's more veggies in the pad thai. Khao soi was good as well. Papaya salad was decent. The only dish I didn't love so much was the crispy chicken, which wasn't crispy after I got home. They have little hot sauce containers on the side and you scoop it yourself. I wish they scooped it for you because I don't think that's COVID-19 safe for everyone to touch the same containers and spoons. Also, be aware if paying with credit card that the name of the restaurant does NOT show up on your statement. It is a name of a lady, which confused me and I almost called my credit card to tell them it's fraud. Overall, the food and service was good and I'll be back, but they need to change the way the hot sauce is packed up. read more

Got take out here with a group of friends & this place was just what we wanted... delicious amazing Thai food! I'm not always a big tofu fan but the tofu here was really great, not dry at all. The crab fried rice you can see from the photo had real good chunks of crab too! They were busy in the evening but I think we only waited for about 25-30minutes for food. Very friendly service. read more

Local to Central District? Craving Thai Food? This place will hit the spot! Cherry Street Thai is not offering dine in at the moment due to COVID. They are available for walk ins & take out orders. I tried calling their number to place an order before pick up but it did not connect. No biggie. Drove to the restaurant to place an order. I was in and out of there in less than 10 minutes. There's plenty of street & neighborhood parking. They had condiments & to go containers on the table for you to choose from. Hoison sauce, Sriracha, Chili and Chili Garlic Sauce were the choices available. Lets move onto the food! Pad Thai (Chicken) - $12.95 Sooo good! There was a good amount of chicken to noodle ratio. Loved that there was some crushed peanuts and a wedge of lime on the side. Drizzle the lime juice over the noodles and you have the perfect combo of sweet, salty and sour. They were out of stock on the mango sticky rice. I'll be back to try that next! read more

Food was really well sauced/seasoned. Their spice chart is legit so when you say 5/5 heat they mean to burn your tongue off. Incredibly warm and friendly staff. I recommend the papaya salad. read more

Good/standard. Spice scale skewed toward the hot side compared to other thai places in the area.

Great portion sizes and prices. We ordered take out over the phone and it was ready in 20 min. Our favorite was the pangang curry. 2 stars was a perfect amount of spice for someone who doesn't normally eat spicy food read more

Friendly and fast service! Enjoyed the green curry for a quick take out dinner. Will go again!

One of the BEST Thai food experiences I've had in the Western Hemisphere. Yep, you heard that right. It's THAT good. Here's why: 1) Location: It's in the up and coming Central District neighborhood surrounded by a mix of authentic Ethiopian restaurants and new hipster coffee shops like Squirrel Chops or Union Coffee. As you walk near Lotus Thai, you'll see beautiful murals including a giant painting of MLK. 2) Service: The people who own Lotus Thai are so friendly. It's a small shop, but there are enough tables for dining in (or you can get it to go). You can watch them through the open kitchen frying your green curry in a giant wok. 3) Food: Wow. Just wow. My wife got the drunken noodles and I got the chicken green curry. Both were fantastic. The best green curry I've had in this hemisphere. I am craving even now as I type this. 4) Price: For the quality of food and service, it's a steal. If you love Thai food, there's no better place to go than Lotus Thai Cuisine in the Central District. read more
