I love this restaurant! The service is amazing and the servers are great! Great attitude, pride themselves on good service, and want to ensure the customer is always happy. My grandma ordered a meal she did not like tonight, so the waiter took it back and she ordered something else. I was willing to pay for everything, but they were insistent on taking the meal returned off the tab. This place never disappoints and I've always loved everything I've ordered!! Highly recommend! read more

Kachai is a great place to stop for Thai food. Having been several times, I'm always impressed with the service. A few of our favorite dishes include the Kachai salad, Red Curry and of course Pad Thai. read more

Made reservations thankfully, as there was a large group of people waiting in the foyer. We were seated quickly and order a few Sapporo beers, an order of Tom Yum soup and an order of calamari which were both great. I had the chicken lettuce wraps as an entree, which were ample (I took 1/2 home for the next day) there was also an order of the grilled boar collar which was a big hit with the guys. The pad Thai chicken was also a very ample serving (1/2 was taken home) and an order of the rad na chicken which was also a very generous serving. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very upbeat and well lit. read more

$47 on two items for take out, incredibly small portions that lacked any flavor. I'm not sure how this place gets all the rave reviews. I was left hungry after my meal, my papaya salad was not at all what I expected from a Thai restaurant. Won't be returning, huge waste of money. read more

One of our go to places. Food is fabulous, service is always excellent. Variety is good.

This was our first time here. Restaurant had plenty of seating and was clean. Service was amazing! Our server, Colby, was so smily, friendly and attentive. But it seems thats where the wowing stopped. The food was ok but nothing special. The chicken lettuce wraps saved the meal, they were so flavorful. The calamari was chewy. The chicken skewers were a good amount and still moist. We also order garlic chicken that I missed getting a picture of. The flavor was good, but the chicken was cooked too long and was too hard. Nothing was terrible but there wasn't anything that made think we would be going back anytime soon. Is it worth the drive? No. read more

This place was great! Love that they have a vegan curry sauce with lots of menu options that can be made vegan or vegetarian. Since I wanted lots of veggies I got the eggplant stir fry which was perfect and absolutely hit the spot. Service was lovely and the space is nice as well. Great stop off on a road trip! read more

Overpriced, underwhelming food. We got the Tom Ka Gai, Pad Tai and Kachai fried rice. The Tom Ka was competent, the fried rice decent but not exceptional, but the pad thai tasted like the kitchen was catering to bland American tastes -- there was none of the usual tang that comes from the unique blend of dried shrimp and sweet preserved radish, and no spiciness at all -- and the gravest offense was that it had no chopped peanuts! One star for the pad thai -- you guys can do better! read more

Hands down our favourite place in Kitsap for Thai food. I've never had a bad meal here. Even my picky eater kids love their pad Thai. Service is always attentive and quick. Biggest downside besides them not having a peanut curry is it gets super busy at supper time and the wait can be awhile. read more

This was a regular place for me when we lived in Kitsap Co. Sometime the food is better than others but when you got to have drunken noodles or red curry place to go. Staff has always been great. read more

We had a group of 10 and visited Kachai on a Monday evening. The restaurant's ambiance, decor, service and cleanliness were top notch - friendly, attentive and Chef/Owner Bihn Tran and our server Andrew provided some amazing 'off menu' suggestions. Some of the highlights were the Dragon Wings, Pork Satay and Shaking Beef. Everything was cooked perfectly, spicy and well-seasoned without being salty and the Lychee Martini was amazing. My extended family lives nearby on Bainbridge Island and frequent Kachai. My wife and I were visiting from Arizona - every future trip to the PNW will include an evening with Bihn and his great staff at Kachai! (To be transparent, the original investor Doug Nelson and Chef/Owner Bihn Tran are both lifelong friends of my family and I, but I would not add this review if wasn't TRUE, but maybe SLIGHTLY biased. ;.) ) read more

So far my wife and I have not found a Poulsbo restaurant that has both good food and great service...typically it is one or the other. In fact one of the local restaurants where we like the food has notoriously horrific service! Well that ended tonight with our visit to Kachai Thai Kitchen. Every single employee that we had contact with went out of their way to be friendly and helpful, to a level that honestly quite shocked us. On top of the absolutely great service was fantastic food. Everything we ordered was executed at a very high level. If you are in the Poulsbo area, make a reservation NOW and you're welcome. read more

Last night, I visited https://www.kachaithai.com, located in Poulsbo, next to Central Market. The restaurant has recently undergone a minor remodel, now offering a variety of small craft cocktails. The menu is constantly changing, with specialty drinks currently priced at $10. Our party ordered a range of beverages, including a large Sapporo, sake, and specialty cocktails, which our guests praised for their exceptional taste. We selected four entrees: Swimming Swarma, Eggplant & Seafood Delight, Garlic Tofu, and Pa Nani Chicken Curry, accompanied by crispy calamari as an appetizer. The dishes were characterized by an abundance of flavor, with notable highlights including the peanut sauce and curry soup. Ask for extra hot sauces if you don't get enough heat in the dish. Which is an easy way to satisfy the people who don't like the heat! Given the current pricing, the experience was slightly above average, although it would be considered mid-range if not accounting for the cost of drinks. I highly recommend https://www.kachaithai.com to anyone who enjoys Thai cuisine and has yet to try this establishment or hasn't visited in a while. The service provided by the owner's son was exceptional, demonstrating his clear potential to successfully manage the family business in the future. And the made sure everything was gluten free! read more

We tried giving this restaurant another shot; today is was just as bad. Horrible service. Sat at the table for over 10 minutes with zero acknowledgement or service. We will not be back. read more

I went with my family and the atmosphere is very warm and cute.The attention was very good we were always asked if we wanted something else.The food is delicious and the flavors were mixed very well. I want to return soon to try other dishes that will surely be delicious. read more

I like this cute little Thai restaurant! The decor is exotic and though I've never been to Thailand, it made me feel like it reminded me of visiting a cute restaurant in Thailand! Anyways, it was about 1230pm on a Thursday, there were a couple tables already seated. I really wanted to try their Khao Soi dish that was on their menu, but sadly they weren't serving it that day *sad face, but luckily I always have a backup order, and ended up choosing the Heavenly Beef. My fiance ordered the Chicken Panang Curry. I had a Thai iced tea and his bevy of choice is always a beer. Food came to the table relatively quickly. Heavenly beef was tender, sauce was in the sweeter side but it was still palatable. I do wish I ordered one of the Thai curries, as my finances was so so good! Medium spice but not overpowering. I liked our cute little lunch date here. Would recommend and return! read more

They serve alcohol now! They have a Thai beers as well as rotating beers on tap. My wife was happy they served a solid IPA on tap (Bodhizafa). They also have sake and wines. Our server Audrey was the best! I went with a large party of 8 and we got a bunch of dishes and shared them family style. All of the dishes were flavorful and everyone enjoyed them. read more

Both really good and loved the drink! Definitely recommend and returning. My only thing Is that the hostess could of been more happy when entering the restaurant. I walked in first and I'm a woman of color and when the hostess saw me she didn't say anything until my significant other walked in because he's a lighter complexion than I am and to me that comes off automatically racist. So my recommendation is the hostess needs to be more friendly to anybody no matter what the color of there skin is. read more

The perfect Thai eating experience. Every dish is perfect. Service is extraordinary. Every time.

Excellent food , very good services ,nice ambiance. Olivia always been polite, cordial, and good listening

I do not understand the low stars for Kachai. The ambiance is very nice - I give it a 10 for Thai restaurant decor. The service was top notch, thank you, Andrew! I had a Lilikoi Margarita and it was delicious. The jasmine tea was perfectly brewed in a French press. All of the food was good; pad Thai with tofu, Pad Kana with chicken, heavenly beef, pork satay and tofu lettuce wraps. Highly recommend! read more

Kachai used to be our go to for Thai. We haven't been there for a few months but decided to go while our daughter was in town for Thanksgiving. We were all disappointed with the food quality. Not sure what happened, but our favorites were lacking in flavor, texture and taste. Also, the price tag was outrageous. Sadly, we won't be returning any time soon. read more

We have eaten here many times since moving here and we love their vegan menu! We've never encountered a mistake until today. We always get take out and we accidentally took another order by the same name. The staff was beyond kind and made sure we got our correct order. The manager came out to apologize for the mix up and was very thoughtful. This is your reminder to be kind to wait staff even when mistakes are made! Can't wait to eat here again :) read more

It was Delicous! I ordered the Tom Kah Soup. (Chicken -mushroom-coconut-Lemongrass---ginger-Kefir lime 2 * hotness) It was my entree and I had a side of white rice. It is early fall and this soup was a way to warm me up from the inside out. Loved it! Spicy creamy tangy perfection. My husband ordered prawn broccoli dish and he also thought it was great. Service was attentive and the atmosphere is relaxing. We will be back. read more

Wonderful staff, the best Thai food I've had in the Puget Sound area. Beautifully decorated.

if you complain about the staff, you have never met Andrew. He is amazing! Attentive, polite, knowledgeable and fun to interact with. Also, as far as being a Vegan in Kitsap County, Katchai Thai is one of the very few Thai restaurants that understand what Vegans need and want... like no fish sauce, no egg.... You might be surprised to know how many places just don't understand the way of the vegan. Kaisa read more

This is a beautiful restaurant with delicious food and outstanding service. Every time we eat here it is so good.

Inconsistent. I had the same dish (Pad See Ew) from Kachai three times now. I always requested medium spice level, but got it with no spice, medium spice, and most recently with crazy spice. The most recent order was caked in red pepper paste and was inedible, I threw it in the trash. I like a good amount of heat and usually add a little bit of sambal or chili paste to my food, but the most recent order was beyond Thai Spicy. Also, every time I order online, there is an option to add on utensils. Guess what, they will never add utensils or napkins to your online order, even though you selected that option. Not great, will not order again. read more

Great food Great service in a beautiful setting. This is our go to restaurant for special occasions or just any time we want a great meal

Amazing delicious food as expected. The service was delightful Nicole and Andrew did an amazing Job of getting our orders in and Delivering our lunch timely and hot. Highly recommend Kachai Thai Kitchen. read more

Overall Rating - 8.67 Food - 8/10 - Everything was very delicious, the only thing that was very noticeable was the chili crisp, heavenly beef, and pad thai. - The heavenly beef was very delicious, the beef was incredibly tender and flavorful. - The pad thai was very delicious as well - The crispy garlic chicken was good, but I have had much much better crispy garlic chicken at other restaurants. - The eggplant was very delicious as well. - The tom kha was incredibly delicious and one of the better tom khas that I have had. - The chili crisp was amazing! You have to ask for it and it is so good, I may have eaten all of it lol, if they decide to sell it I would buy so much of it. ‍‍Accessibility - 9/10 - Quite accessible, the tables are a little tight next to each other but nothing that can't be fixed. The restaurant is ground level with no stairs or steps. - Sensory wise, the lights are dim, the music is low. ‍Service - 8/10 - The service was good, I think the section we were sat in was someone else's that they were not covering very well so many of the other waiters had to pitch in and help, as we had different people throughout the whole process. Despite the condition they were very professional and great servers. Ambiance - 9/10 - Very pretty, nice music, good lighting. Parking - 10/10 - it is in a shopping center so there is lots of free close parking nearby. Price - 8/10 - Because it is a little more upscale it is definitely it a bit more expensive and is about $30ish a person. read more
