Mintra Thai Cuisine - Thai Near Me - Renton, Washington

This is a popular restaurant for ordering delivery, which I know cause I work Uber Eats deliveries and get lots of pickups for here, but I also recommend eating in at this restaurant when you have a chance. Why? Because the young woman who works the front is one of the hardest working restaurant workers I have ever seen and she has a very welcoming, fun personality. Tip her well! The food is also good, but the pad thai noodles seemed a little too sweet. I suggest ordering an entree rather than the lunch combos which I think emphasize too much on the pad Thai noodles which aren't their best offering. Interior isn't that large, but they can put tables together for a large group of friends here for a fun time. Meet up here with your fun friends, and be cool with the nice, fun staff. read more

Amazing value for delicious Thai food! I live in Seattle and make a point of driving to Renton when I'm craving Thai just to eat here. They offer the lunch combo all day, which is a great price at about $16 for a lot of food. I also love ordering this combo because you get sort of a sampler plate to try different things if you're mood for a little bit of everything. It comes with an entree, white rice, pad Thai, and a choice of potsticker/vegetarian egg roll/crab rangoon. I would personally pass on the crab rangoon because it was a little too creamy for me. I really enjoyed the vegetarian egg roll and would probably choose that again next time. I haven't had the potsticker yet, so I'm not sure what type of filling is inside. When I was done eating, I had enough rice and pad Thai leftover for another meal. The pad Thai wasn't really my favorite as it was a little too sweet. I also don't usually opt for pad Thai in the first place, but it was nice to try it. For entree, I absolutely love the crispy garlic chicken. It tastes exactly as how it's advertised! I could literally eat this every day. It's breaded kind of like orange chicken at Panda Express, but is definitely more crispy than that. The green curry is also a delicious option here, and you can pick your protein (I forget the options but there's definitely chicken and soft/fried tofu). Honestly, I trust that all the entrees here taste yummy and will definitely be back to try them all! You can choose a spice level of 0 to 5 for the entrees. I went with 2, and it was honestly a little too spicy for me I tried the Thai tea and asked for less sweet, in which the server said she could put more milk since it's premade. The drink was still wayyyy too sweet, probably like 125% sweet on a scale lol so I added even more milk when I got home and that made it better. I would just pass on the Thai tea if you don't really like sweet drinks either. It was pretty busy during dinner on a weekday which led to slow service. There was only 1 server for the whole restaurant and we could tell she was busy so we didn't really mind. I would just note that in case you're looking for quick service, you might want to order takeout. read more

Mintra Thai Cuisine - Crispy garlic chicken lunch combo 4/5 - Thai Near Me - Renton, Washington

Good portion size, great flavor, and fast service. My one complaint was it was too cold in tbe restaurant! We were a party of 8 and they did add tip (18%) onto the bill. Food arrived pretty quickly and everyone was happy with their choices. They even allowed lunch specials (which includes a set w pad Thai, a main (curry or chicken), rice and an egg roll for all day. It's a small place but good. I had the Thai beef salad and it was delicious. A few friends didn't like spicy food and they really toned it down. But for those of us who like heat, they brought it! Would definitely go back. read more

Really good!! We came by on a Monday around lunch. We decided to share the salad rolls and Larb Gai. The salad rolls were well presented, very fresh. The Larb Gai was a good portion, very tasty, love the flavor combinations. It was plenty for two. read more

We order via UberEats at least once a week. Last time they forgot my Thai iced tea. No problem. But this time my beef noodle soup has hard dark items that hurt my teeth. I posted a photo. This time I decided to try their Thai beef salad. I asked for no spice. It arrived too spicy for me that I could not eat it. So basically both my dishes weee a miss. So no dinner for me. I gave them a better rating than normal because my husband likes their curry, and normally we get good food. So not sure what's going on lately. I normally give them 5 stars. On the plus side the food was delivered hot. So hot that I burned my hand pouring the soup. Do better. One day I'll go check them out in person. read more

I took my friends who were visiting and they were hunger. It has been a year or longer since my last visit. Now they have all day lunch menu. My order was pork basil combo. I was skeptical when I saw pad thai version of this lunch combo. I took a bite and realized it was not bad. The pork basil, the meat was tendon and I can tasted the seasoning. Sometime, if the basil stir fired is slices of meat not ground, the seasoning does not absorbed in the meat. Egg roll was veggie but I got my egg fix. It was about &16 for lunch portion. I still the crispy pork fried rice would have been better option. My friends like their garlic chicken combo and beef stew. Service was good, water was refilled. We came around 2-3 pm on Saturday so it was just us. She even lowered the blind when, the sun hit our eyes. Parking in the complex. read more

I came into town late and needed a meal to-go. This establishment was very cozy. Definitely a hole in the wall restaurant. The staff there was very friendly. The crispy garlic chicken was extremely flavorful. Although we got it to-go, it was still crispy even after a 20 minute drive. The portion was really big and felt like there was an entire chicken in there! I tend to like my pad see ew more saucy and this one had the perfect amount. You can taste the wok flavor in the dish and is a must get when you go here. The crispy rice salad was a surprise to me. It was my first time having this kind of salad. It did not disappoint at all. There were so many different textures and flavors in the salad. The crispy rice mixed with the chicken and onions made a perfect bite everytime I put my chopsticks into it. Overall a very good restaurant and will definitely be returning many many many many many times read more

- phad Thai was slightly too sweet - Food: 4 stars Price: 4 stars Ambiance: 2 stars Service: 3 stars Overall: 3.25 stars We came here on the weekend right after it opened, and nobody else was there during the whole time we were there. Interestingly, we could order lunch combo on weekends. It's usually only during weekdays for most places, but not here. I got the C7 swimming rama lunch combo with chicken for $14.95 and hubby got the C5 cashew nut lunch combo with crispy pork for $17.95 (extra $3 for meat upgrade). Lunch combo comes with a generous portion of phad Thai, Jasmine rice, your dish of choice and an egg roll. Everything was tasty and we couldn't finish, so we boxed things to go. The only downside is that their phad Thai was overly sweet to me and doesn't have much of the flavor profile that I was looking for. Perhaps it'd be better if they provide a piece of line like other places. I don't think people would mind this as American love their sweets lol. They were playing a Thai song over and over again when we were there... It's very bizarre since it's just that one song on repeat. I almost felt like I was being hypnotized.... by a language that I don't understand lol. read more

Haven't done a review in a while but here we go. Saw the rating and figured I needed to check this place out. Didn't get a website to work or a menu on yelp so all of my photos are of just the menu. Service was excellent. They were busy with to go orders but the one waitress was all over the place. I don't think my water glass was ever empty. She was kind and would check on us regularly to see if we needed anything. Plenty of seating for several small groups. They had music going that would have made one table a little noisy but I didn't sit over there. Food was excellent. We ordered green chicken curry combo, pad kee mao beef, and beef fried rice. I'd say the fried rice was above average for me, the pad kee mao was average. But the green curry was awesome. Quite possibly the best curry I've ever had. That's not saying much as my exposure is limited but I really thought it was great. The combo came with white rice, pad Thai, and a choice of an egg roll or wonton I believe. The sides were fine. Overall, id say this place has earned its 4.5 stars and worth checking out. read more

Just tried this place not too long ago and they did not disappoint! Their panang curry was sooooo good, as well as their Pad Sew Ew. I'm currently fasting so I had to take them home for dinner after my job bought as lunch and they were still so tasty after reheating. The restaurant is super cute inside, I love the decorative pieces they have and a really nice server. She was very cheerful and made sure that I had utensils, napkins and hot sauce to go. read more

Called in an order to go & picked up lunch to go for Mom, dad & I. I was glad we got it to go because it was quite cold in the restaurant. Mom had the crispy garlic chicken. It was crispy and not too garlicky. I had the cashew chicken. Delicious. Good amount of cashews. I ordered 2 star spicy and next time I'd order 3 star. Dad had the best meal the yellow curry. He loved it and would order again. Look forward to trying their red or green curry next time. read more

We ordered here through ubereats. I had some papaya salad and fried pork fried rice. The papaya salad was a big portion and it was well balanced. The papaya was crunchy. The fried pork fried rice was good in flavor. The fried rice was crunchy and had good flavor. The fried pork was more in the chewy side than crunchy but that might be because it doesn't travel well. I'll definitely try this place again. read more

I've ordered takeout from this spot twice now, and both times the food has absolutely blown me away. The flavors are incredible -- hands down the best Thai I've ever had! I've tried the Pad Thai with tofu and the yellow curry, and both were bursting with flavor, perfectly balanced, and so satisfying. You can really taste the care that goes into the cooking. The food was also ready super quickly, which made the whole experience even better. Great for when you're short on time but still want something truly delicious. If I had one small note, it's that the rice portion that comes with the curry is pretty small -- really only enough for one serving, even though the curry itself is generous enough for two. That said, I've noticed this is common at a lot of Thai places, so I wouldn't take a star off for it -- just something to be aware of. Overall, amazing food, fast service, and an experience that keeps me coming back. Highly recommend! read more

Saw that this was the best rated Thai food on Grubhub (or at least the best rated restaurant with the word "Thai" somewhere on the menu - a few non-Thai places came up, too). Also the prices were reasonable (something to consider when using Grubhub is going to add about $30 to what it would cost you if you dined on site. Ordered the curry fried rice, garlic onion chicken and beef, partial potsticker order, and fried chicken wings. Asked that everything be "not spicy." There is always a chance with Thai food that even the mildest setting will still be spicy and that was the case with the curry fried rice. I thought both the fried rice and the fried chicken were a bit overly dry; the spouse enjoyed everything with no complaints whatsoever. Suggest a slightly bigger container to deliver the chicken, as it was partially open and taped shut; also suggest a slightly larger white rice portion. read more

Ordered lunch combo 10 with tofu. It was tasty. And so was pud Thai. Egg roll was good; but was little smaller in size. That's OK. The guy was polite. But there was only one person for all the tables. And you have to pay at the counter. The interior is good/OK. Nothing great, nothing bad. Prices are a bit higher for non lunch specials. read more

I'm nervous to post this because I don't want to tell anyone about my newly found hidden gem. My family and I ordered a few takeout items: the Som Tom, Chicken Pad Thai and Chicken Fried Rice. The food is packed with flavor. I can usually handle spicy food pretty well but the papaya salad with 2 stars was SPICY, and of course I still ate it don't want to waste it.. lol. I can't wait to go back and try more food, but this time we'll dine in. Please don't underestimate this restaurant in the strip mall. read more

We found this on a whim since we were in the neighborhood and SO good!!! The staff was incredibly friendly and getting the food was quick. The pad Thai had a unique flavor - definitely more savory but we thoroughly enjoyed it. The crispy chicken was on point and the potstickers were as good as expected. One note - it was spicier than we expected. We usually get 2 stars but was a wee bit too spicy for my kiddos when we ordered 2 stars for our entrees. If you're spice sensitive, I'd recommend going a star lower than normal - you can always ask to add more spice. My husband & I planned to add more spice any way and they came out with a lovely stand of 3 spice options - chili garlic, hot oil & dry pepper flakes. This place is now a favorite!!! read more

Finally got a chance to try this new place close to my house after passing it like a million times. I was really happy with the foods. Their crispy garlic chicken is among one of the best that I've had. I never had pad cha seafood before so can't say how it's supposed to taste but I enjoyed it very much. The seafoods are fresh but I would love the sauce to be a little more punchy in flavor. The Thai fried rice was great and had the wok flavor that I always need in my fried rice. I tried that with Tofu and with they had fried their tofu to add texture or if they want to leave it soft like that, marinade them a little bit. The lady serving us was really nice and attentive. Having said so, we are the only people there at that time so can't say much about the service yet. I will definitely come back. Btw, we ordered 4-star spiciness level but it's like nothing. So if you really want spicy, try 5-star read more

Everything is always yummy and flavorful. Small staff is always greeting and very attentive to the patrons of the restaurant.

I think this takes the top spot for Renton Thai places, just edging out Ocha and Five Sisters. All three of these places are great, but Mintra comes just a bit closer to capturing that elusive spark that separates "great" from "really great." We were feeling like eating comfort food when we visited Mintra, and we opted for crispy garlic chicken (pretty bonkers), pad see eiw (pretty bonkers), and a curry (pretty bonkers). The oldest and whitest people I've ever seen were enjoying a similar selection one table over from us, so I think it's safe to say Mintra nails the foundational dishes, the stuff that gets the asses in the seats. They've definitely earned a repeat visit to try some deeper cuts from their menu. read more

I was out and about with 4 other friends on a Saturday afternoon when hunger hit. None of us had been to Mintra before. Upon arrival we were seated right away. Most seating is booth style but the center of the restaurant has tables that can be pushed together to seat 8. The food was delicious!! The seafood fried rice had generous portions of shrimp and scallops. The Pad Thai and fried egg rolls were tasty. My favorite was the Fish Papaya Salad which is a fried fish with a complimentary fresh mango salsa on top. For dessert we all shared the mango ice cream. What a delight to try a restaurant spur of the moment and to find a hidden gem! read more

Their pad thai is sweet, tangy, and savory! Mintra Thai is located at a tiny strip so it's very easy to miss and overlook them, but their food and service is great! I appreciate that people can order online for pick-up and that the pick-up process at the restaurant was very convenient (lots of parking). Note that their one star has no spice, so maybe increase the spiciness by two or more stars? The spiciness really helps balance the flavors, even for a sweet dish like pad thai. read more

Small little spot. Very nice lady serving us. Has all the Thai basics. We went with crab fried rice, crispy garlic chicken, pad thai, egg rolls...and green curry. Got a spice level 4 on the crispy chicken, but it was not very spicy. Level 4 on the fried rice seemed spicier. Even though the crispy chicken was an appetizer, it was big enough to have as a meal. Everything had great flavor, service was quick and friendly. We would definitely come back. read more

I had only been to this place once, many years ago when it was (IIRC) Golden Chinese restaurant. So, when my wife & I found out that it was now a Thai restaurant, we decided to check it out. So, here's my take. The food was amazing, with large portions. and reasonably priced. I took off one star, however, because our waitress seemed totally rushed the whole time we were there. I tried to tell her that the Crispy Garlic Chicken I ordered was some of the best I've ever had, but she walked away literally halfway through my sentence like she didn't have time for my compliment. Bottom line: Don't ask how everything was if you're just going to walk away in the middle of your customer's answer. The place isn't fancy inside, but it's nicer than when it was a Chinese restaurant. read more
