Pad Thai
Catalina Q.

Food is amazing!!! It is really flavorful. The service that I receive picking up my order was fast and nice! The restaurant looks so clean I love it! I will return

Green curry - spicy  don't need any stars it's already a
Tiffany S.

Love love love their food, they're very sweet people and my family come here at least 3 times a month. We mostly do take out but I sometimes do enjoy eating in. One suggestion that I have is that they really need to update their prices online as I paid significantly more than what was shown online.

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.

Pad Thai

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!

Lunch special menu

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.

Chicken Pad See-Ew and Garlic lovers with Thai tea
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!

Pad Kee Mao

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 was passable but nothing special. On the plus side, the spiciness levels are more authentic than some of the other places in Seattle.

Noi Thai Cuisine is where my Thai best friend and I go whenever she is in town! 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

Everything was solid, but the portions were on the smaller side. Compared to other Thai places, it runs a little pricier without being noticeably better on the food side. Service (5/5): We made a reservation and were seated immediately. The staff were friendly throughout our meal. If you're planning to visit during peak weekend hours, I definitely recommend booking ahead. Overall: It's a great place if you're looking for a nice, modern environment, but you're mostly paying for the upscale setting rather than the food itself.

This wasn't just the best Thai cuisine, but the best cuisine I've had in a long time. I dream of…read morethe crispy garlic chicken I had there at least a few times a week. I even ordered crispy garlic chicken at my typical local Thai restaurant to try to re-live the magic and all it did was make me miss Fern Thai even more. I live in Tacoma and cannot wait to get back into that area and eat there again. The atmosphere and decor was enchanting, the service was so wonderful and friendly. I really have to get back there.

Solid late night dinner option! We loved the vibe here. The restaurant was dim, lively,…read moresophisticated, and had a romantic atmosphere. When entering they had a live keyboardist and singer playing Valerie which I was a fan of. We stopped in at 10pm on a week night and were sat right away and service was prompt and friendly. We chose fried calamari for an appetizer which was super delicious. 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!
