(front to back) Khao Mun Gai, Fried Chicken Wings, Wintermelon soup.
Naveed N.

Unsuspecting but authentic Thai cuisine located in Sugar Hill Seattle. Please do keep in mind that this is a bar, so it is unfair to expect a restaurant level service. That being said, the service and attention were great! Came in on a Tuesday evening with a friend for my birthday celebration. We sat downstairs and were the only ones there. Our waiter was quick and helpful, taking our orders for the Khao Mun Gai, Beek Gai Tod (wings), and an extra order of Wintermelon soup. The Khao Mun Gai is fresh and fragrant, almost as good as the kmg at nongs in Portland. The wings were pretty good, and I personally loved the wintermelon soup- finished every drop. The portions could be a bit larger, but for the price, it wasn't too bad- plus we were headed to Fogon after to eat/drink more. If you're looking to stop in for a quick and delicious casual dinner, or looking for something good to eat while drinking/dancing at Sugar Hill- this is the spot. Cheers!

(yes, they're open as of May 2020) This place has been here for years, but I'd only gone once. What a mistake. I got the khao soi last night and it was genuinely one of the best khao sois I've ever gotten in the states - wonderfully fragrant.

Omgosh Yes. We are so happy to have found a chicken+beer place in Cap Hill. The atmosphere and music-- spot on 90s R&B, hip hop, yes. Brings back a lot of memories. We literally walked by this place numerous times because we didn't realize that it was a fried chicken restaurant inside (there's just a menu taped to window). Happy Hour is only on weekdays until 7pm!! Yessss $2 off wells, wines, drafts & small plates 1. 50/50 (half fried, half steamed) - we chose to get this to sample their menu. I thought that their Hainan style chicken was moist and delicious. I've had some pretty mediocre Hainan chicken at 5 star restaurants and I felt that Guitar's did a great job. Their sauces are also really tasty. 2. Fried Chicken Wings (Beek Gai Tod) - perfectly fried, moist inside, paired with great sauces. 3. Deep fried chicken skin (Nang Gai Tod) - This is THE perfect happy hour dish with beer. I love chicken skin and they do a fabulous job. 4. Curry Corn Fritters (Khao Pod Tod) - Delicious!! Basically deep fried corn fritters. Savory + sweet 5. Deep fried tofu pillows (Tao Hu Tod) - This was really good if you are looking for a meat alternative. We got it because I love salt and peppered fried tofu, and this definitely hits the spot.

We like the Hainan chicken and rice here, but don't love it. Nong's Khao Man Gai still has the best chicken and rice in the PNW, but it's also 3 hour away. There aren't nearly enough places in the US where you can enjoy tender chicken alongside nutty jasmine rice simmered in chicken stock and served with dollops of herbs and spices; so we'll take what we can get! P.S: the real winner is the Nang Gai Tod - deep fried chicken skin with tamarind fish sauce. We'll come back for more.

After hearing reviews that this isnt a gweilo fusion Thai spot, I had to give it a try. This is located inside Sugar Hill, and its still a restaurant before the venue goes full ratchet. The portions are not terribly big, but the prices are fairly reasonable for what you get! I'm personally on the hunt for the best curry noodle soup so i gave the khao soi a chance. It was average at best, and at $13, i would highly recommend paying an extra $2 and going to Soi instead. The chicken wings were great! Moist and crisp, paired with a tangy, sour, spicy fish sauce dip, a good addition to the meal. I tried the Khao Mun Gai and contradictory to other reviews, it was disappointing - the chicken was dry. Overall, if you're looking for a more authentic thai meal (definitely not Bai Tong Thai Street Food), I'd recommend checking this spot out! While the portions are not huge, the prices arent either!

I came back the other day cuz I was craving Khao mun gai, and was expecting to have be in my happy place... but sadly, no. It seemed like the quality has gone down. The flavor of the chicken wasn't there, but it was still juicy, and the soup! The soup had NO FLAVOR and no wintermelon, like the cook forgot to put salt in it or something. Overall, I was really disappointed with my experience... it's just sad to see one of my favorite chicken rice places go down in quality like this. Plus for the price, the portion was way too small for me now that I work out , not enough protein for my gainz lol. Hopefully I caught them on a bad day, maybe I'll return and get again but not really sure when that will be

Hainan style chicken and rice (comes with a side of soup). Very tasty especially with he house made spicy sauce but portions are too small. Unfortunate but likely will not return.

Always on the hunt for some good KMG I had this place bookmarked on yelp well before my trip. It's a bit hard to find since the only visible sign was posted on the window so we were confused if we were at the right place. Not sure if this place also doubles as a bar or if they're just really into the bar look but it was a bit dark in there. There were only a couple of tables but our food took well over 30 minutes to come out. Since we were parked at a meter we had to rush and finish our food so we wouldn't be late. Also had to search for the server to get our check but we ended up just going up to the counter and waiting. The food itself was alright. The rice was dry but the chicken was tender. Worth the try if you're not in a rush.

Pretty decent. Even though the chicken rice could be more moist and soft. Be sure to order the fried chicken skin. It was so good.

Noi Thai Cuisine is where my Thai best friend and I go whenever she is in town! It is one of the…read morebest Thai restaurants in Seattle and is certified as Thai Select which certifies its Thai authenticity. They have locations both in Downtown Seattle and Greenlake, but I have only been to their Downtown Seattle location which has a beautiful view of the Puget Sound. The atmosphere is dark, trendy, and modern- perfect for a date night or nice evening out. While they are a white table cloth, sit-down restaurant, you can dress casually or dress up a bit - both are completely acceptable. This most recent visit I ordered the COCONUT PANANG CURRY with chicken ($25.95) and my friend ordered her favorite dish, SALMON GARLIC FRIED RICE ($28.95). On a past visit, I've had their CLAY POT SHRIMP & GLASS NOODLES (KOONG OB WOONSEN) ($27.95) which was absolutely fantastic and has had me hooked on Pad Woonsen ever since! I saw the COCONUT PANANG CURRY recently in my Instagram feed and knew I had to get it. It is served in a whole coconut (yes a real, fresh coconut!) and comes with a champagne flute of fresh coconut juice from the coconut they hollowed out and a side of Jasmine rice. The curry was rich, flavorful, and full of Thai basil and peppers. The coconut juice was light and refreshing and a great contrast to the thick curry. The SALMON GARLIC FRIED RICE (which I've sampled before), is gigantic, aromatic, and served with a giant grilled garlic butter fillet of salmon on top. The salmon is extremely moist, oily, and bursting with flavor. The rice is fragrant and has garlic paste, red bell pepper, carrots, and green onion. If you're looking for a tasty and protein-packed meal, this is the dish! Parking is honestly tough in this area as it's located on 1st. They have limited street parking and a few paid parking garage options around. I recommend light railing or Ubering here if you're not already in the downtown Seattle area. Service is always great and we always get our food quickly, no matter how crowded they are. The staff also take the time to check up on your table during your meal. Overall: 5/5 for food, 5/5 for service, 5/5 for atmosphere

Everything was solid, but the portions were on the smaller side. Compared to other Thai places, it runs a little pricier without being noticeably better on the food side. Service (5/5): We made a reservation and were seated immediately. The staff were friendly throughout our meal. If you're planning to visit during peak weekend hours, I definitely recommend booking ahead. Overall: It's a great place if you're looking for a nice, modern environment, but you're mostly paying for the upscale setting rather than the food itself.

This wasn't just the best Thai cuisine, but the best cuisine I've had in a long time. I dream of…read morethe crispy garlic chicken I had there at least a few times a week. I even ordered crispy garlic chicken at my typical local Thai restaurant to try to re-live the magic and all it did was make me miss Fern Thai even more. I live in Tacoma and cannot wait to get back into that area and eat there again. The atmosphere and decor was enchanting, the service was so wonderful and friendly. I really have to get back there.

Solid late night dinner option! We loved the vibe here. The restaurant was dim, lively,…read moresophisticated, and had a romantic atmosphere. When entering they had a live keyboardist and singer playing Valerie which I was a fan of. We stopped in at 10pm on a week night and were sat right away and service was prompt and friendly. We chose fried calamari for an appetizer which was super delicious. My boyfriend thought the sauce that came with the calamari was too spicy for his liking but for me it was super sweet and paired perfectly with the calamari. We enjoyed the appetizer thoroughly and I would say it was my favorite part of the meal. My man ordered his favorite Thai dish Panang chicken Curry spice level 1. He said his meal was delicious but big portion so we both took to go our leftovers. I tried the curry and it was super tasty. I ordered my go to prawns Pad Thai and chose spice level 3. The Pad Thai was delicious and large portion but level 3 was not spicy at all so if you love spicy like me choose above level 3. Not the best Pad Thai I've ever had being honest but still yummy especially for late night. Definitely a great late night choice with large portions!

Decided to stop by this place in search of quality Thai food and a nice ambiance and it did not…read moredisappoint! My friend and I walked in at 9:20 (~40 mins before closing) and got a seat at the bar. They have happy hour from 9pm-close so we ordered the curry from the happy hour menu ($10), kra pao with an egg (~$20), and drinks (lychee martini $9, Thai-Tini $9). Such a great deal!! My favorite thing had to be the yellow curry, it was so creamy and had a nice kick. The kra pao was also very good, we picked spice 2 which was pretty hot but manageable. I would highly recommend making a reservation in advance, we got pretty lucky to get a walk in spot but the place was totally filled. A nice place for an upscale meal with a friend or a date!

Vibe - When I walked in, it felt like I was in a nighttime district on the streets of Thailand, eating and drinking whatever they had available. The vibe was that of a dark ambiance, with neon lights shining throughout the restaurant. Hospitality - The front-of-house staff was well-mannered and courteous, and they seated us quickly on a Monday night at 8:00 PM. It was a relatively busy night. However, we ordered fairly quickly, and the food came out within 10 to 15 minutes. Food - Food-wise, we ordered the Fried Papaya, Crispy Fried Rice, Khao Soi, Tom Yum, and Crispy Pork Belly Fried Rice. Gosh, I have to say, I was blown away by the flavors and the portion sizes! Typically, four dishes can serve three people, but I felt like these could have served five. The fried papaya salad was lightly battered with a typical papaya salad dipping sauce featuring a base of fish sauce, green beans, tomatoes, and chilies. It was good. The crispy fried rice was served with lettuce wraps, and OMG, I kid you not when I tell you this is some of the crispiest rice I've ever had. It's hard to find, but when you do, you can't wait to take another bite. I thought the khao soi overall was not bad. I enjoyed that they put the fried noodles on top so that you can mix them into the curry when it's brought out. Lastly, the pork belly was well-cooked with a crispy, crunchy exterior, and served with delicious Thai-flavored fried rice! Drinks - We ordered the Thai lemon iced tea and the Thai tea cremosa. Both tasted good. Overall, I was very satisfied with this place, and if I lived here, I could see myself grabbing some late-night bites with the homies.
