    Kow Soi
    Sagittarius A.

    I just love Fern Thai, I've been going here for years now and it doesn't disappoint. My favorites, in no order: - hat Yai mini wings - chicken larb salad - kow soi - roti - Panang Neau Yang - pad see ew - pad khee mao - pla manow I really can't stand overly sweet food, and all of those dishes are really vibrant and flavorful and not too sweet. The interior of the restaurant is clean as well. And the service is always nice and friendly. For takeout and delivery, the food is always ready quickly and packed nicely. I'm really happy to have such a delicious restaurant so close to my house.

    Pad See Ewe
    Nancy P.

    The pad see ewe was the best I've had in a very long time. It was chewy, and didn't have too much oil in it. The flavor was very balanced too. We got level 4 spice and it was perfect. The roast duck curry had a good flavor to it, but the lychee and apples in it definitely threw me off. I couldn't tell if I liked it or not, but it was definitely different.

    FERN THAI ON MAIN @ BELLEVUE Parking can be a little difficult since it's mostly street parking, and sometimes the main road is closed due to markets or farmers markets. I recommend parking at Bellevue Square Mall and walking over it's about a 10-minute walk. You can also try finding street parking near the downtown park area. I've been here multiple times, both with my family and for a company lunch, and I've absolutely loved it every single time. The restaurant itself is super cute and definitely on the smaller side. They have both indoor seating and an outdoor patio, and I highly recommend sitting outside if the weather is nice. That said, the inside is also really charming decked out with a cute aesthetic, cozy colors, and the sweetest little tablecloths on each table. I love the overall atmosphere. For food, I highly recommend getting their Pad Thai. It's beautifully plated, super flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The prices are a bit on the higher side around $20 per dish but it's good quality for what you're getting. I do wish the portions were slightly bigger, but the dishes are definitely shareable if you order a few plates. Overall, I would definitely recommend stopping by The Spice if you're looking for Thai food in Bellevue. Don't forget to order the crab rangoons as an appetizer, they're delicious. The staff is also super friendly, which makes the experience even better.

    Food is really tasty here Ordered roast duck curry and pad see eew. The curry is so flavorful and they use fruits to sweeten the curry Pad see eew has a very good flavor

    Crispy Garlic Chicken and Pad See Ewe in the back

    Eh, would not come here again. Not because I had a negative experience but because nothing seemed particularly special to me. Decent and probably solid option if you're in the area Pros: -Clean establishment. I liked the aesthetic. Lots of seating -They have seasonal drinks and menu items -Service was fine -Pad See Ewe was flavorful -Serving sizes good Cons: -Crab rangoon wrapper was not good. Felt like they were air fried rather than actually deep fried. Filling was good but not a lot. $13 for 6 pieces is practically a robbery -Crispy garlic chicken was ok. I wouldn't say it was bad but I've had better. It also didn't stay crispy for long under the sauce

    Pad Thai Boran and Panang Neau Yang

    Fern Thai on Main has been around for a long time. It has several sister restaurants including Tem Sib and Sisi Kay. My Thai friend thought it was pretty authentic for Thai food and so I decided to go for dinner with another on a rainy weekday to celebrate their recent job offer. My friend and I arrived at around 6pm and were seated immediately. We decided to share the PAD THAI BORAN ($19.95) with chicken and the PANANG NEAU YANG ($21.95) with a side of white rice. With tax and tip, the bill came to $57, which is definitely on the high end for Thai food, even in Bellevue. The PAD THAI BORAN is their signature dish, according to many reviewers. It has egg with banana blossom and ground peanuts. My friend and I honestly weren't sure if we were supposed to eat the blossom or not, but we tried it. It tasted like a raw onion/celery and so we left it alone after taking a bite. However, I will say that this Pad Thai is the BEST PAD THAI I've ever had and very different from what many other Thai restaurants serve. Fern's Pad Thai sauce is savory, sweet, and slightly umami with an almost creamy texture. Portion sizes were generous too and so I highly recommend giving their Pad Thai a try if you go! The PANANG NEAU YANG was also fantastic. It has grilled flat iron steak in panang curry sauce and kaffir lime zest. The steak was perfectly cooked and very tender and juicy. It was well-marinated in a sweet and savory sauce and was amazing with the creamy curry- you could definitely taste the lemon grass and other spices! We got two star spice level and the heat level was right on point. Compared to other panang curries I've had, I was surprised that this was more yellow in color than red, but it was very tasty. I wish it had more veggies in it, but I loved the dish otherwise. The atmosphere is modern and trendy. They have a bar and plenty of seating. Only downside is the parking as they do not have a lot - it's street parking only or you can walk from the park. Service was decent. Our waitress came by several times to fill our waters and check in on us. They also were in no rush for us to leave, but then again, it took them a while for them to notice and to bring us a bill and boxes. Overall, if prices weren't so high, I would probably give them 5 stars. I just think $20 for noodles is too high of a price point and so this will only be an occasional dining spot for me. 5/5 for food, 4/5 for service, 4/5 for atmosphere

    Adorable spot in Old town Bellevue. The sun was out so we wandered down to Fern Thai and loved our experience. We were a party of six. Service was professional, quick and friendly. The food reminded me of my trip to Thailand...just not as spicy. :-) The menu has a great variety of choices and even for my picky niece they made just chicken and rice. They were fabulous!

    If you are looking for that gem surrounded in a great environment, this is the place you need to go to. The taste of Thai food could not have been better in this quaint experience and will tempt all your taste buds to perfection. Add a cocktail with a pleasant dessert and your weekend will be fully fulfilled. Ratings - 5 Price - $$$ Quality - 5 Ambiance - 5 Portions - 4.5 Cleanliness - 4.5

    Pad Thai Boran with tofu

    Cute location on Main Street in downtown Bellevue. Great energy and nice outdoor seating situation! The food was also great. We got the pad thai (4/5), pad kee mao (4.5/5), and the sweet and sour chicken (3.5/5). All were flavorful and would get again! FYI on weekdays they close from 3-4pm but stop seating before 2:30. We got unlucky and came during this time but they were kind enough to let us order to go and sit on their patio to eat without service - which we appreciated. Would definitely come back again!

    If you're looking for some great Thai food, then Fern Thai on Main is a place you should try! The ambience is pretty and service was pretty quick too. Located in Bellevue Old Town, it's easy to get there too. Coming to the food, everything was delicious. But my favorites were the pineapple fried rice and spring Rolls. So good! The green curry had a subtle flavor to it and the pad Kee Mao was great too. Requested for everything without meat and the food was fantastic. Only thing was that the curry came without the rice. But I'm definitely coming back for the pineapple fried rice!

    Side of Jasmine rice
    Pearl L.

    My boyfriend and I had a quick errand to do in Bellevue and decided to bring our fur babies with us as it was really hot and we wanted to walk them at the park. Additionally, I know Bellevue has a lot of pet friendly outdoor patios and Fern Thai on Main has been on my bucket list for a few years now so I knew this was the perfect opportunity. When we arrived at the restaurant, it looked like they were doing well and everyone else had the same thought with dining outdoors to enjoy the nice weather or to have someone to go with their fur baby. My boyfriend went inside to talk with a host as there is a sign that says to speak with a host to be seated on their outdoor patio. It took some time as it seems pretty busy but we didn't mind and once the host had time, she immediately grabbed menus and showed us to our table. We ordered a Thai iced tea, Pad See Ew (chicken, 1 star), roast duck curry (5 stars) and a side of jasmine rice. We got the Thai iced tea not too long after ordering and it was just the perfect amount of sweetness. I do feel like they do a huge amount of ice though, and it's already in a smaller glass. I'm slightly disappointed that the outdoor and indoor experiences seem very different. I see the glasses from other reviewers from the inside dining seem much more pleasing while the outdoor seemed like an afterthought. Additionally, our waiter was very awkward and didn't provide much service. He never came to check on us or refill our waters. The presentation of food was very nice for all the dishes, even the rice bowl was gorgeous. My boyfriend gave his pad see ew a 9/10 which is pretty high but he said he wished it had more of the wok hei taste that pad see ew is supposed to have and he personally wasn't a fan of the greens they used. I was happy with my roast duck curry but they don't seem to know how to make things spicy as I asked for a 5 star spicy level but barely felt anything, but I couldn't even mention it to the waiter cause he never came by. I think I would try them out again in the future but there are definitely better Thai restaurants around Bellevue that provides a better dining experience than Fern Thai on Main.

    Pretty spendy, and bunch of flies everywhere, though that's maybe hard to avoid with open windows etc. The food was good, just too expensive for my personal liking. Water was room temperature, no ice. Asked for extra veggies, and they brought the plate with no veggies lol but it was just a misunderstanding. The food was pretty standard imo.

    Duck curry, fried rice, fresh rolls, Tom Yum.  White rice.
    Marc S.

    We ordered delivery to my friend's house as I was visiting from LA. Now mind you, I live very near Thai Town which is the only officially recognized one in the US. I love Thai food and eat it often. So my expectations were not too high. We ordered Duck Curry, Tom Yum, some fresh rolls and a tofu fried rice. The duck curry was VERY good and had some lychee (?) and cherry tomatoes in it. Flavorful and good, this was my favorite dish. The fried rice had nice added texture with cashews and pineapple along with the satisfyingly meaty tofu. Really quite good. Raisins were a surprising ingredient for me but I didn't necessarily dislike their presence. The Tom Yum with shrimp was fine and sufficiently spicy. The fresh rolls were also fine and tasted freshly made. Tasty with the peanut dipping sauce but still pretty basic as most fresh rolls are. White rice was perfectly cooked. All in all, this was a very pleasant surprise. I'd eat here twice a month if I lived nearby. 8/10

Indeed, this place is quite adorable, great for girls' night out or date night. They have a sizable full bar for the boozers. Service was fine and kept our water filled. The restaurant is good overall except menu prices run about a buck or two more than my usual Thai places. I suppose that pays for the decorations. Noodle dishes have a sizable markup if switching proteins at $5 beef, prawns, or $8 seafood. Perhaps they use higher quality sources. This location has their own parking. The Food: Crying Tiger, $27.95 - 4 Stars Menu: Grilled glazed marinated New York strip steak Super cute presentation that is also eye-busy, made me pause to think "where do I start." Beef is tender. The side salad is refreshing. Shu Chee Salmon, $27.95 - 3.5 Stars Menu: Grilled wild caught skin-on Alaska salmon in creamy red curry paste with bell pepper, basil I was bummed when I saw this. The fish is breaded and deep fried. I have ordered curry salmon from many area Thai restaurants. This is the first fried version. So unnecessary. The rest of it is good. I quite like the steamed broccoli to accompany the protein. Koong Oob Woon Sen - 4 Stars Menu: House special bean thread noodle with prawns, mushroom, celery in sweet ginger sauce I am a fan of bean thread noodles, aka crystal noodles or clear noodles. This is a common dish found in Thai restaurants. Bouncy, chewy noodle is served on spinach. Their version is less greasy than another restaurant that serves it in a hotpot. This visit is from first half of 2025. Prices are updated to current.

The fact that these were also coated in oil was pretty nice. On the inside, I thought the prawns were cooked well - they remained pretty soft and didn't appear overcooked I did feel like the spice was pretty much missing, though. I ordered 4/5 stars, but it tasted more like 1/5 stars as there was a pretty significant lack of spice that took away from a lot of the flavor potential. Speaking of the missing flavor, there should've been a lot more sauce added to this dish - either poured on top of the prawns or the prawns come sitting in it. The benefit of this is that it you can mix everything with the rice - and this sauce coats the rice to make it taste good. The way it's currently presented, the prawns are too large to really eat with the rice, and mixing the two will just result in eating the meat and taking another bite of plain rice because there isn't enough sauce to coat the rice. This dish just ended up being eating the prawns by themselves - the rice wasn't super useful As a result, after finishing I really wasn't that full For the price (around 20 ish) there are a good amount of prawns, but I wouldn't really say you're getting a good deal here

The restaurant was hosting an event, so part of the space was closed off, and service was noticeably slow. It took a while for the food to arrive.

The Panang curry had a mild flavor with a subtle lime note and a touch of sweetness, which was interesting but not particularly bold. Overall, the food was okay, but unless you live nearby, it might not be worth the trip. If you do go, I'd recommend ordering a higher spice level, as everything leaned on the mild side. Good ambiance overall.

Even though I really wanted to love this place, this place was definitely overhyped; I'd say it's about the same level as A Ma's, which I also didn't enjoy. It might be because the place has gone super viral as we ended up waiting 80 minutes on a Saturday night, so quality control might be more difficult at this point. Tip: the iPad will say the wait is 30 minutes, do not trust the iPad. Hainan Chicken was tasteless and overcooked. The texture was way too chewy and was my least favorite preparation of the night. Gai Tod (fried) was better with a crispy outside, but still a tad overcooked. Gai Yang (grilled) was definitely the best version of chicken and is solid enough if you live nearby, but definitely not driving out of your way or waiting for. Rice wasn't super fluffy and I just prefer garlic rice over ginger. The chicken stock is probably the best part of the rice plates. Upside is the joint is definitely family owned and they do their best to provide good service in spite of the chaos. They'll take your order before you get seated, so the food comes out fast and are generally very sweet when checking in.

My favorite dishes are the PHAD SEE EIW with chicken ($16.25) and the THAI GRILLED BEEF SALAD (cooked medium) ($20.50). The PHAD SEE EIW has the perfect sauce balance of sweet and savory flavors and comes with broccoli and carrot. The noodles are super long and wide so you know they are fresh and not from the box. The THAI GRILLED BEEF SALAD definitely has a kick to it. This dish comes with raw cucumbers, carrots, onions, and basil and is served in a tangy and umami fish sauce vinegar mix. The beef is extremely tasty, tender, and well-marinated. This past visit, my friends and I also tried two new dishes that I've never had at Isarn before- their CHIANG MAI NOODLES (aka Khao Soi) ($17.25) and the MINCED LAMB WITH THAI BASIL ($16.50). The CHIANG MAI NOODLES were beautifully presented with a nest of crunchy egg noodles on top of a creamy yellow curry with soft egg noodles underneath. It was served with pickled mustard cabbage and onions for extra punch of flavor. The MINCED LAMB WITH THAI BASIL reminded me of Vietnamese larb. However, this dish was more savory and less tangy than larb and the basil really shined through. It is quite oily though so make sure to enjoy it with a side of JASMINE RICE ($2.75). Portions are generous for all dishes and I always leave with leftovers. The atmosphere is modern, clean, and trendy. It's a great place for catching up with friends and not too loud. I will say the restaurant is a bit on the darker side, but that's just how they set the ambiance. Service was good and we got our food promptly within 15-20 minutes after ordering. It took a bit of time to waive the waiter down for to-go boxes, but they were attentive otherwise. Note that Isarn doesn't take reservations and it's street parking only. However, they have a waiting list kiosk inside the restaurant and so if they're busy, you can sign up for notifications and walk around the downtown Kirkland shops while you're waiting. Overall: 5/5 for food, 4/5 for service, 5/5 for atmosphere

    Isarn Thai serves up a totally unique menu of Thai food and this location in Kirkland does get…read moreextremely busy. Went on a Friday night with a group of 5 and waited about an hour before getting seated. Unfortunately, you can't join the waitlist ahead of time and when your table is ready, you gotta be RIGHT THERE as we literally walked in 30 seconds after they called us and didn't leave a message, but the staff informed us that they had given our table away. Luckily, we just got the next one available, but felt like a needlessly stressful experience. Jumbo Firecracker Prawns (4.25/5): Spring rolls and shrimp had a baby. Crunchy outside with tender shrimp and sweet chili sauce - a perfect appetizer to share. Isarn Fried Rice (4.25/5): A fried rice unlike any other. Was my personal favorite dish of the night. The rice kernels were separated into individual grains and coated in grease in the best way possible. I'm a kale hater, but the combination with salted eggs and the purposefully chewy fried steak pieces was just super delicious! Northern Style Sweet Curry (3.75/5): The curry itself is fantastic: super balanced between savory, fragrant, and sweet. The steak chunks unfortunately were just a bit overcooked and chewy. Durian Sticky Rice (4.25/5): Sticky rice has a super satisfying chew and I appreciated that the sauce wasn't overly sweet. Durian itself was sweet and creamy with just a touch funk. If you've never had durian before, this is a fantastic intro.
