    I want to give Laem Buri a 3.5 of 5 but am gonna scale up. Service was pretty good, waitress was helpful and relayed the right amount of spice called for on my Drunken noodle and friends approved too. I got a Red Hook IPA to go with my meal and they brought it out along with a frozen beer glass for extra chill. That's cool (literally). The stumble comes from the appetizers. The Laem Buri platter - gyōza, spring rolls and tofu were hard and burnt looking. What happened? They weren't enjoyable. The Thai wings were also a letdown considering I've had Thai wings that span from good to great, these were not close to either. Presentation was decent but that's it. They recovred with the entrée. My Drunken Noodle with beef delivered in flavor, presentation and amount. So good entrée and service but the apps definitely have to pick it up.

    Tom Kha Soup with Chicken
    Gina B.

    Ordered take out on a cold day for some hot soup & hot dishes. The lady who answered the phone was very friendly and made sure to repeat back the whole order with our spice level choices, to make sure everything was correct, and asked for our phone number & name before hanging up. To me this shows they value accuracy in the ordering system, which is important to the customer when it comes to ordering things to go. Tom Kha soup (hot spice level)- Delicious! However, a bit too sweet and could've been more sour. I also wish they used straw mushrooms but it's hard to find places that do that. Despite all that, ugh it was a wonderful, creamy, spicy soup on a cold gray day to clear the sinuses just enough and warm mah belleh! Pad Woon Sen (medium spice level)- I'd never had this before and it was a pleasant surprise. It looked simple. Very thin glass noodles with a ton of freshly cooked, vibrant vegetables, & beef. As I ate it, it just kept getting better and better. It's a perfect balance of meaty, veggie goodness, with maybe a soy sauce type of base? Usually I like strong, bold flavors, but the simplicity of this dish won me over! I only wish the portion was bigger. Jungle noodles (spicy spice level)- Woo-wee, now that is some spice! Great for those who can handle it (once upon a time I was one of these people), but a bit too much for my aging gut nowadays. If I think beyond the level 4 spice that I will not do again, the flavor of these noodles was pleasant and I really liked the chewy texture. I'd order this again at a level 2 or 3. I wish the portion was a bit bigger too, though. Overall I enjoyed everything and would love to come back!

    Pad Thai ($12)

    A night out in the Greenwood area meant somewhere for dinner and Thai is always a good option. There is some street parking in the area if you're lucky but if not there is some private lot parking as well. The inside is not big but is pretty cozy and intimate. GREEN BEAN ($10) - There was a good crunch on the green beans and it was garlicky. I really liked the sauce/glaze on it and this was one of my favorite dishes. 5/5 PAD THAI ($12) - I thought this was just okay. It's slightly too sweet which is not the flavor profile I want in my pad thai but it was saucy and not dry. 3/5 PANANG CURRY ($12) - I really liked this dish and I caught myself going for seconds and thirds for the curry, way more often than some of the other dishes. Note that it doesn't come with rice so you'll have to order that separately. 5/5 FAMOUS CHICKEN ($14) - When one of the dishes is named famous chicken and it's a best seller, we had to order it. It was nice and crispy and was pretty good. 4/5 FIERY CRISPY DUCK ($18) - It was very crispy and I liked the added basil on top. The sauce that came with it was delicious as well. 4.5/5 TOM YUM SOUP ($12) - This was soup-er flavorful (pun intended) and was very refreshing given all the other heavier dishes we ordered. 4.5/5 KUA GAI NOODLE ($15) - I thought this was an okay dish and it was nice to get some seafood for variation. 3/5 For most of the food we ordered level 3 spice but it didn't taste very spicy at all. This feels like just a typical Thai restaurant in Seattle, maybe slightly above average with some of their specialty dishes.

    I'm not sure what happened, Laem Buri has been a go to Thai spot in Seattle for me and my family since we moved to Seattle years ago. I've noticed a continuous decline in quality since the pandemic. Tonight we ordered out and I just was so disappointed. The curry is now half the portion in size it used to be, quality of food seemed lower than it used to, and everything was just very bland other than chili spice and not as flavorful as it used to be. It's really disappointing to see a local favorite slip. I've been hoping it was just a lull in quality but it appears to be an unending spiral.

    How I heard of this place: Back in 2018, we started a bi-weekly practice of having family dinners at Laem Buri with friends who "adopted" us as their children/grandchildren. They brought a meal over to our house, originally, from Laem Buri. From that moment on, we were hooked. Ambiance: Modern and sleek, comfortable and cozy, the restaurant, found inside a stretch of Greenwood Avenue strip mall-like shops and restaurants, is certainly worth a visit. Or two. Heck, ten! Owned by a husband, who's name graces the establishment, and his wife, they have striven to give the neighborhood eatery a place to eat well, in a setting that is cozy, warm and intimate, while still catering to the plethora hipsters roaming about. What I ordered: Having come and gone every second week (or at least once per month) for over a year in 2018 and 2019, prior to the outset of the Covid-19 pandemic, we had ample opportunity to sample most of the menu. Among our favorite dishes, are the fried rice (any of them), Pad Woonsen, Pad Kee Mao, and the spicy Pad See Eiw. We love their seasonal Mango Sticky Rice, coconut ice cream, and thoroughly enjoyed the sauteed green beans appetizer. What I loved: Most anything we have ordered has been wonderfully superb. We enjoy a little spice to a lot of spice, and are able to obtain a variety of taste preferences to satisfy everyone in our party - from the littlest to the eldest (3 years old to 73 years old)! Pad Woonsen tends to remain a top favorite, as does the Basil Fried Rice. Their Tom Kha soup is also a savory hit in the colder months (if not always). Why I loved it: The staff are friendly and warm, the owners - as much family as hosts - are wonderfully sweet, warm, friendly and so lovely. Their food is definitely worth returning for, and can easily stand on its own. Cost: Average ($10-$15 per generous entree)

    Pleasant service and delicious food. Khao soi and Gang Pha made vegetarian were very flavorful.

    4.5 Thai good restaurants are usually tough to mess up. Generally a Thai restaurant will be at least decent and you have nothing to really complain about. Then there the over the top so good you're raving to your friends about it. Lawn Buri to me feels in between these this range. It's better than your average Thai restaurant and what puts it over the top for me is the crispy duck and famous chicken. Every dish that you would normally order at a Thai restaurant was straight solid exactly what it should taste like. The crispy duck and famous chicken was just so flavorful and good, I wanted to keep the whole plate for myself even though I was sharing family style. Definitely get these dishes if you get the chance!

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

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.

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.

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.
