    Chicken Tom Kha (top). Green Curry (bottom).
    Ravi H.

    My favorite Thai food. Their Tom Kha is the best I've ever tasted. Exceptionally creamy and flavorful. Love their pad Thai and curries as well. Have not been disappointed by a dish yet. It also doesn't break the bank, and most dishes are right around the same price. They also really know how to spice things up, so ordering a 4-5 star dish will actually be pretty damn hot. Only positive experiences with the staff and the ambiance is nice, although I've never dined-in there.

    I got this for takeout, and it was pretty delicious! The portion size is good--classic where I can eat the whole thing if I'm really hungry, otherwise it definitely is good for 2 servings! :) 2 stars wasn't too spicy, so if your spice tolerance is mild-good and you like spice, i'd suggest 3 stars for sure. My only critique was that it was a lil more oily than i'm use to, but still delicious! Yummy noodles, yummy sauce, and im always happy to have the fried green onions in there. would recommend if you're ordering lunch takeout!

    The food was great. I called for a pick up order and they said that my food can be picked up in 10 minutes. Fast and delicious! They also offer lunch special shown at the door (I attach a picture) They also mention that their Google website got hacked so be aware (see partial of the picture attached)

    Pad See-Ew
    Megan S.

    Ordered take out here for a quick meal. The food was done quick and spring rolls were hot and crispy when I received them! It seems this restaurant's customer base is largely takeout-- there were no dine ins when we were there (I don't remember seeing if there were actually places to sit tbh) IMO pad see ew is the same in most places. I do think this place's spice scale is a little higher (I always get 3 stars/medium and this one seemed a bit spicier than other places I've been to). I also felt it was a little less flavorful than what I've had from other takeout restaurants. The spring rolls were crispy but essentially only filled with cabbage and noodles, so a little disappointing.

    Brianna R.

    Food was absolutely delicious, perfect spicy rating was accurate for what you ask for, fresh, service was amazing I got my water refilled at least 3 times, kind and sweet lady. Price was great for how delicious food was. I really enjoyed their Thai tea as well and they don't overfill it with ice so you can actually enjoy the drink than just a few sips, I really enjoyed this place and my friend enjoyed their food as well. I will be back!

    Great service, hearty tasty spicy food. The price feels like a steal bc of all the flavor.

    two plates of food on a table
    Vivian Z.

    Came here during lunch time and loved the lunch deal! This portion were plentiful for the price. We ordered the panang curry and cashew chicken meals which came with veggie pad Thai and salad. - the curry was great! Although i don't think you can mess up this popular curry dish - cashew chicken was delicious and i had ask for medium spice which to me was not that spicy. Maybe i should opt for spicy next time. I do wish it had more cashews to this meal but the sauce was great! - veggie pad thai... this dish was the most unique one of them all. I've had plenty of pad Thais before however the sauce on this was not the same as other place. It was on the sweeter side -- almost taste like it had fish sauce poured over it. It was not my favorite i will say. This place is Covid cautious and street parking. We ended up parking behind the restaurant within a neighborhood zone. Would recommend this place for the lunch specials! I would like to come back for dinner as the menu is much larger

    Spicy green beans with non-fried tofu - Dinner size, rice included
    Eva M.

    Panwa Thai is on 12th near Seattle University. With lots of Asian eateries and restaurants within a two block distance, Panwa Thai competes perfectly well vs. the many other options. Definitely glad I found this place. I arrived after 2pm on a Saturday and was pleasantly surprised their lunch menu runs to 3pm. So it's easier to have multiple meals and try different things if you so choose. Our food: Yellow Curry with Chicken - Lunch size served with rice Spicy green beans with non-fried tofu - Dinner size, rice included Pad Thai with non-fried tofu - Dinner size, rice not included Their pad thai is the traditional 'brown' version, not the Americanized 'red' version. Thumbs up. Thumbs up on their other dishes too. Next time I'll try to look for chef specials and unusual dishes. Those are always a treat to find.

    Pork pad Thai and crab Rangoons
    Sabes K.

    I really liked the flavor of the pad thai! It was a little different than what I'm used to but it was delicious, also I had a big piece of egg and I'm not going to lie it was fried to smitherines but the flavor?!?! The frickin flavor made my eyes big lol. Now the rangoons were STUFFED to the gills! I've never had a better stuffed Rangoon! However due to my taste buds I couldn't finish them lol I tasted a hint of cilantro somewhere which I just can't do cilantro- but if you can I bet you would LOVE these! I ordered through Uber eats so I didn't see the inside or anything like that- but I only waited like 15 minutes and they had my food on the move! It traveled really really well! All in all I will be ordering from here again.

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.

My boyfriend thought the sauce that came with the calamari was too spicy for his liking but for me it was super sweet and paired perfectly with the calamari. We enjoyed the appetizer thoroughly and I would say it was my favorite part of the meal. My man ordered his favorite Thai dish Panang chicken Curry spice level 1. He said his meal was delicious but big portion so we both took to go our leftovers. I tried the curry and it was super tasty. I ordered my go to prawns Pad Thai and chose spice level 3. The Pad Thai was delicious and large portion but level 3 was not spicy at all so if you love spicy like me choose above level 3. Not the best Pad Thai I've ever had being honest but still yummy especially for late night. Definitely a great late night choice with large portions!

Vibe - When I walked in, it felt like I was in a nighttime district on the streets of Thailand, eating and drinking whatever they had available. The vibe was that of a dark ambiance, with neon lights shining throughout the restaurant. 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. Food - Food-wise, we ordered the Fried Papaya, Crispy Fried Rice, Khao Soi, Tom Yum, and Crispy Pork Belly Fried Rice. Gosh, I have to say, I was blown away by the flavors and the portion sizes! 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.
