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)
Brian F.

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.

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)

Pad Thai chicken

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.

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

Tom Yum Soup

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!

I love the fast order & pick up through Yelp! Their pad see ew noodles are so good (one of the best i've had) - chewy & AMAZING texture!! Will definitely have to come back to try the other items on their menu soon!

We came here for lunch, I had seen the reviews on Yelp and wanted to try it out…read more Food: We tried the vegetarian drunken noodles and vegetarian coconut curry. The noodles were absolutely delicious, packed with flavor. They do spicy on a scale through five, we opted for four out of five for the noodles, I thought we could've gone even one spice level higher. For the curry, we did three out of five, and definitely could've done a spice level higher. The spice scale is definitely catered toward people who like less spicy food, so rest assured three or four is still fairly mild in spice. The quantity of the curry was actually quite small, however, the presentation was beautiful. It was also delicious in taste. Ambience: The restaurant is very ethnic and beautifully decorated. It is a great date spot. It's very clean, and food came out quickly. Service: Our server was incredibly professional and very polite. He gave great suggestions. I really appreciated that he went out of his way and got the spice jars for us to adjust the spice level of our food. Something else that I always give credit for is that they pack up any leftover food that you have. Phenomenal service.

Not much ground pork in terms of quantity or flavor. And I thought the fried pork belly was bad. The fatty bits were chewy, not melty. The meaty bits felt dry and old. The outer part didn't offer much in terms of crunch.

I ordered the Lamb Massanam with Roti. It sounded delectable on the menu, and as a lamb enthusiast, I did not hesitate to order it. It was the worst lamb dish I've had in recent memory. At least in the Washington state area. It was practically inedible and way too overcooked. My friend also ordered the same dish, and we acknowledged each other in unison, shaking our heads in sheer disappointment. The broth was nice, and it was good pairing with the roti and white rice. But the lamb was a sheer and utter disaster. Way too overcooked and the meat tasted old. So sinewy and dry, and it had no resemblance of the lamb flavor. Maybe it was a bad batch, sure. But I left the restaurant feeling so dissatisfied and angry that I paid that much for a poorly executed dish. That lamb was not good at all. 2 stars, just because I feel like the other dishes probably met expectations. But wow, what a disappointment.
