I had a great dinner at this nice quaint Thai restaurant. Everything was delicious. The staff was very attentive and super friendly and helpful. Definitely going back when in town.

A busy lunchtime restaurant in Bellevue. The food was fresh and very tasty, the service was attentive and gave nice recommendations. My husband has eaten here a couple times while visiting tech partners in the area, he loves this place. I agree it was delicious!

Nibbana is conveniently located across the street from the Marriott. Food is so yummy and filling. Service is attentive and friendly. The restaurant itself is cozy and window booth seating. Nice to be able to see rainy Bellevue weather outside LOL

Whole Tilapia
Chloe L.

Amazing thai food. So glad I came with a large group because I got to try a variety of dishes! The interior is clean and homey but it does get a little loud. There is a parking garage really close by which was very convenient. We ordered: - Whole tilapia: this deep fried dish was definitely the highlight of the dinner for me. The crunchy skin and house marinade pierced through the meat inside. I still think about this from time to time. Huge portion, definitely share with your group. - Bbq duck curry: a close second to the whole tilapia. I just wish there was more duck meat but the curry is really creamy and nice. Duck meat was nicely cooked. - Tom kha: we originally ordered the tom yum soup but they brought us the tom kha instead but we tried it anyways. It was my first time having tom kha but it's essentially tom yum but with a coconut milk base (I may be wrong). A good soup to share if you like a creamier base. - Khor moo yang: we were recommended this dish by the waitress but it wasn't that special to be honest. It was good but I wouldn't order it again. - kow soy: also not too special but a good noodle for sharing - papaya salad: nicely sour and refreshing. I always like to get papaya salad at thai places for a palate cleanse. The portion was large but I've had better papaya salad at other places. Not bad but wouldn't get it again

White Sticky Rice
Varsh P.

Nice and simple and well lit place. Went here on a Saturday afternoon around 1pm. Best to reserve. Seated within a minute. We ordered Panang curry , sticky rice, crab Rangoon and motcha zen drink. The taste was good. Only thing is sticky rice came wrapped in plastic film in a small container(I don't know what it's called). I personally don't like anything hot in plastic. The quantity was extremely small. Motcha drink was not sweet on enquiring they told something that goes in the drink might not be sweet that particular day. Crab Rangoon was yum. At last we ordered mango sticky rice and the mangoes had gone bad and they served the dish without checking. They did not charge us for it but I felt sad as that was not acceptable to serve something without checking. Photos are attached for reference. Taste overall was good but I am unsure of quality.

Thai Iced Coffee and Thai Iced Tea

Nibbana Thai Restaurant is a solid spot for Thai food, with a large menu and a full bar. It's changed locations since it's beginnings, but still offers the same tasty Thai food that many in Bellevue have tried. I've never had a bad meal at Nibbana. In my most recent visit, my colleague and I came here for lunch and I had to take advantage of the lunch special for $15.95 where you can choose from a list of entrees, which come with rice and vegetarian phad thai. Not very many places in downtown Bellevue where you can get a lunch meal for less than 20 bucks at a sit-down restaurant. For lunch though, the place gets super busy, so I recommend trying to get here before noon on a weekday when the restaurant really gets busy. I ordered the lunch special of panang curry with beef and a Thai iced coffee. The meal didn't take long to get and it was delicious! I love a good panang curry and the beef was super tender with the red peppers. The phad thai was also tasty, with the noodles perfectly cooked and loved the egg throughout. If you work nearby, this is an awesome lunch special spot. But, the menu also has several other items to choose from, with just about any Thai dish you can think of. I'll have to come back for happy hour sometime with discounted bites and booze.

Phad See Ew

Food is really good here! Service is a bit slow but the place is big and clean. I got the crab ragoon. Can't really taste the crab, it was mostly cream cheese, so I wouldn't get them again. Also got a grilled dish and that was amazing. Same with the pad see ew.

Crying Tiger: steak, rice, slaw.
Sheri H.

Had dinner here with a friend. New to both of us. I had the duck, she had the steak and appetizer. The duck was really tasty and tender. The sauce was sweet. It's not filling though, so recommend ordering rice or an appetizer. Took a long time to get our food and the check. Couldn't order what I wanted to drink due to the language barrier. Tables are too close together, hard to hear once more people came in. Would come back to try more items during a quieter time.

Soft Shell Crab Fried Rice
Joanna S.

Get the soft shell crab fried rice and their appetizers - I think it was a fried chive dumpling ? AMAZING. So crispy and soft with flavor! I got a level 2 spice fried rice and it was not spicy at all.. i could've gotten 3. Will definitely be coming back here whenever I come to Bellevue. Our server was super nice and informative on the spice level. They even give you a little spice rack of 4 sauces as well if you ask for it to put in your food if you feel you want more flavor - my favorite was the pickled jalepenos. Ambiance was ok, a bit crowded in seating, kinda loud, but definitely happy hour and good vibes!!

Spft shell crab fried rice
Smrithi S.

We had dinner here recently, this is their new location. We got Chicken Satay, Tom Yum soup, Pineapple fried rice, and Soft shell crab fried rice. Chicken satay was good. This has always been our favorite at Nibbana. The Tom Yum soup and Pineapple fried rice were good. I loved the Soft shell crab fried rice, it was great to have an entire fried soft shell crab over the fried rice.

Tom Yum
Xiaolan Y.

Its Thai flavor is not bad, which is not too spicy, suitable to my taste:) And the servants are friendly to me.

Adri R.

A lunchtime favorite when in the office. Really enjoyed having them right next-door to our office before moving to this new location. Great to see the quality of service and food is unchanged.

The experience was a resounding success, with my family praising the food, service, and ambiance. This year, I returned with friends to celebrate Mother's Day. Our orders included the Penang curry with shrimp, lychee martini, basil fried rice, sprig tollgreen curry, mocktails, and Koh Yum soup. The dishes were expertly prepared, and the service was efficient and friendly. My friends were impressed by the high quality of the food and the welcoming atmosphere.

Indeed, this place is quite adorable, great for girls' night out or date night. They have a sizable full bar for the boozers. Service was fine and kept our water filled. The restaurant is good overall except menu prices run about a buck or two more than my usual Thai places. I suppose that pays for the decorations. Noodle dishes have a sizable markup if switching proteins at $5 beef, prawns, or $8 seafood. Perhaps they use higher quality sources. This location has their own parking. The Food: Crying Tiger, $27.95 - 4 Stars Menu: Grilled glazed marinated New York strip steak Super cute presentation that is also eye-busy, made me pause to think "where do I start." Beef is tender. The side salad is refreshing. Shu Chee Salmon, $27.95 - 3.5 Stars Menu: Grilled wild caught skin-on Alaska salmon in creamy red curry paste with bell pepper, basil I was bummed when I saw this. The fish is breaded and deep fried. I have ordered curry salmon from many area Thai restaurants. This is the first fried version. So unnecessary. The rest of it is good. I quite like the steamed broccoli to accompany the protein. Koong Oob Woon Sen - 4 Stars Menu: House special bean thread noodle with prawns, mushroom, celery in sweet ginger sauce I am a fan of bean thread noodles, aka crystal noodles or clear noodles. This is a common dish found in Thai restaurants. Bouncy, chewy noodle is served on spinach. Their version is less greasy than another restaurant that serves it in a hotpot. This visit is from first half of 2025. Prices are updated to current.

The fact that these were also coated in oil was pretty nice. On the inside, I thought the prawns were cooked well - they remained pretty soft and didn't appear overcooked I did feel like the spice was pretty much missing, though. I ordered 4/5 stars, but it tasted more like 1/5 stars as there was a pretty significant lack of spice that took away from a lot of the flavor potential. Speaking of the missing flavor, there should've been a lot more sauce added to this dish - either poured on top of the prawns or the prawns come sitting in it. The benefit of this is that it you can mix everything with the rice - and this sauce coats the rice to make it taste good. The way it's currently presented, the prawns are too large to really eat with the rice, and mixing the two will just result in eating the meat and taking another bite of plain rice because there isn't enough sauce to coat the rice. This dish just ended up being eating the prawns by themselves - the rice wasn't super useful As a result, after finishing I really wasn't that full For the price (around 20 ish) there are a good amount of prawns, but I wouldn't really say you're getting a good deal here

Went out for dinner with family and tried the Thai sukiyaki, khao soi, and Panang curry with tofu…read more We chose spice level 3 for most dishes and level 5 for the khao soi. The restaurant was hosting an event, so part of the space was closed off, and service was noticeably slow. It took a while for the food to arrive. The khao soi was decent--not the best I've had, but still a solid choice. The Panang curry had a mild flavor with a subtle lime note and a touch of sweetness, which was interesting but not particularly bold. Overall, the food was okay, but unless you live nearby, it might not be worth the trip. If you do go, I'd recommend ordering a higher spice level, as everything leaned on the mild side. Good ambiance overall.

Came here for a team lunch since I have a lot of vegetarian coworkers, and they picked this spot…read more As a non-vegetarian, I was pleasantly surprised--I still felt really satisfied with the food thanks to their tofu and plant-based meat options. I ordered the mango mocktail and the banana curry, and both were delicious. The curry especially stood out. Rice isn't included by default, but there are plenty of carb options--you can add noodles on the side if you're not in the mood for rice. Portions are very generous, so come hungry. One slightly odd thing: they had space heaters running indoors. The overall temperature was comfortable, but the person sitting right in front of one was definitely feeling the heat. Service was very attentive and friendly, though not the fastest--dishes didn't all come out at once. It looked like there were only one or two people in the kitchen, so it's understandable. Overall, if you're vegan/vegetarian--or dining with a group that has dietary restrictions--and you're in Bellevue, this place is worth checking out.

I had the tom yum soup - 4 stars Not too spicy, they weigh she commented on the four stars made me think I'd regret it but I'm glad I went with four stars for spice and perhaps next time I'd even go to five star spicy. ($17) Old town Bellevue off Main has street parking and a parking garage. However, the area is very popular so parking can be challenging. Service was fantastic. When we came in, they acknowledged it was cold out and had one side of the restaurant that was warmer & offered any table to sit at.

Isarn Thai Soul Kitchen is one of my FAVORITE Thai restaurants on the Eastside. They have a second…read morelocation in Seattle too. My favorite dishes are the PHAD SEE EIW with chicken ($16.25) and the THAI GRILLED BEEF SALAD (cooked medium) ($20.50). The PHAD SEE EIW has the perfect sauce balance of sweet and savory flavors and comes with broccoli and carrot. The noodles are super long and wide so you know they are fresh and not from the box. The THAI GRILLED BEEF SALAD definitely has a kick to it. This dish comes with raw cucumbers, carrots, onions, and basil and is served in a tangy and umami fish sauce vinegar mix. The beef is extremely tasty, tender, and well-marinated. This past visit, my friends and I also tried two new dishes that I've never had at Isarn before- their CHIANG MAI NOODLES (aka Khao Soi) ($17.25) and the MINCED LAMB WITH THAI BASIL ($16.50). The CHIANG MAI NOODLES were beautifully presented with a nest of crunchy egg noodles on top of a creamy yellow curry with soft egg noodles underneath. It was served with pickled mustard cabbage and onions for extra punch of flavor. The MINCED LAMB WITH THAI BASIL reminded me of Vietnamese larb. However, this dish was more savory and less tangy than larb and the basil really shined through. It is quite oily though so make sure to enjoy it with a side of JASMINE RICE ($2.75). Portions are generous for all dishes and I always leave with leftovers. The atmosphere is modern, clean, and trendy. It's a great place for catching up with friends and not too loud. I will say the restaurant is a bit on the darker side, but that's just how they set the ambiance. Service was good and we got our food promptly within 15-20 minutes after ordering. It took a bit of time to waive the waiter down for to-go boxes, but they were attentive otherwise. Note that Isarn doesn't take reservations and it's street parking only. However, they have a waiting list kiosk inside the restaurant and so if they're busy, you can sign up for notifications and walk around the downtown Kirkland shops while you're waiting. Overall: 5/5 for food, 4/5 for service, 5/5 for atmosphere

Went on a Friday night with a group of 5 and waited about an hour before getting seated. Unfortunately, you can't join the waitlist ahead of time and when your table is ready, you gotta be RIGHT THERE as we literally walked in 30 seconds after they called us and didn't leave a message, but the staff informed us that they had given our table away. Luckily, we just got the next one available, but felt like a needlessly stressful experience. Jumbo Firecracker Prawns (4.25/5): Spring rolls and shrimp had a baby. Crunchy outside with tender shrimp and sweet chili sauce - a perfect appetizer to share. Isarn Fried Rice (4.25/5): A fried rice unlike any other. Was my personal favorite dish of the night. The rice kernels were separated into individual grains and coated in grease in the best way possible. I'm a kale hater, but the combination with salted eggs and the purposefully chewy fried steak pieces was just super delicious! Northern Style Sweet Curry (3.75/5): The curry itself is fantastic: super balanced between savory, fragrant, and sweet. The steak chunks unfortunately were just a bit overcooked and chewy. Durian Sticky Rice (4.25/5): Sticky rice has a super satisfying chew and I appreciated that the sauce wasn't overly sweet. Durian itself was sweet and creamy with just a touch funk. If you've never had durian before, this is a fantastic intro.
