    Green Curry
    Sarah S.

    I love this place so much! We came in as a party of 2 on a Monday night at about 7:00 PM. It was pretty quiet, but it was a chill place to be. I have always loved their stylish and unique decor, and great service. This is a great place to dine in-it is comfortable, elegant and relaxed. We split the crab wonton appetizer, which was great! I love the sauce these are served with, and these are crispy, creamy and savory all at once. I ordered the Thai Basil with chicken, 5 stars for spice, and it delivered on the heat. I love the balance of the basil with the vegetables, and the sauce this was prepared in was wonderful. I used all of the rice I got on the side to eat and enjoy this. I always love coming here and recommending them to people-they have some of the best flavors here, and I like the variety of dishes they serve. They also have photos of their food on their website which are true to the presentation.

    Not spicy papaya salad
    Noyonima H.

    I've only been here once and tried the Papaya Salad. PROS: - Good location easy parking, open late compared to other restaurants in the area - friendly staff easy ordering and lovely interior, I really liked their pairings - prices are reasonable and menu is pretty comprehensive CONS: - Small portion for price which means don't expect leftovers - I asked for extra spicy, they did not give me spicy on my salad. I know Thai styles salads are not very spicy but I've had spicier Papaya Salad in Thailand - the salad tasted fine, did not care for the giant tacky raw cabbage that took up half my portion. Instead of a full papaya salad in a box I felt like I got half of the dish I paid very quickly put together Do not recommend for salads, cannot comment on other menu items. Will not be back, plenty of awesome Thai competition in the Seattle area!

    Beef Pad Se Ew Phayathai Fried Rice Spicy Eggplant Entree

    I've driven by this place so many times and have been meaning to try it. They aren't doing dine in right now, but tons of delivery orders. We called to order food for pickup and it was delicious! Glad I read the reviews about how spicy it can be (2 stars was more like a 4 star at most places). We had beef pad see ew, chicken Phayathai fried rice (which was so Inter and tasty - it had shrimp, pineapple, cashews and raisins in it!) and spicy eggplant with tofu - the spicy eggplant was probably my favorite. Glad I got a side of white rice, it was perfect to soak up the sauce from the spicy eggplant. We'll definitely order from here again.

    Dimly-lit, across from a strip club and underneath some housing, you'll find Phayathai. Upon entry you're welcomed to a large room with some booths and tables and chairs. A friend of mine works nearby and swore the food here was legit! He was not wrong. We ordered family style several dishes including pad-see-ew, rhadnah, Thai fried rice, massaman curry and crab dumplings. Everything we ordered came out quickly and tasted authentic. The portion sizes are very generous and flavors were bold and big. I ordered the noodles at a level five, but our server suggested I back it down to four. Four was hot enough! The service here was also impeccable. Our waters were filled non-stop. The complimentary hot tea was offered to to be refilled as well. Overall Phayathai was some pretty fire Thai (pun intended). If I lived near here, I'd be a regular.

    Black rice pudding
    Caroline S.

    Phayathai has officially become my new go-to place for thai food since the quarantine started. Up until today, all my orders were take-out orders; I haven't gotten the chance to dine in. (I will try to avoid ordering through third party delivery platforms if you have the ability to pick it up as ordering through those apps charge a substantial amount of commission fees on every delivery order) I first ordered their PAD THAI a few months back, and it was very standard pad thai flavors you will find: savory, rich flavors. Nothing bad about it; a pad thai should taste like a pad thai. I remember finishing the whole plate all in one go despite the huge portion. After the initial discovery, I went on to order my favorite thai dish--GREEN CURRY CHICKEN from them and It tasted wonderful. The dish had the milky taste from the coconut milk, but not too overwhelming. It's also pretty savory but not as strong as some of the other thai dishes such as pad kee mao or pad thai. With around $14, you get lots of veggies, chicken pieces, and big chucks of eggplants (my fav ) in there as well as a side of well-made white rice (nobody likes saggy mush rice if you know what I am talking about). Their black rice pudding, on the other side, was quite mind-blowingly sweet. Some might dig it, but what I did instead was just diluting it with 1:1 ratio almond milk and enjoyed it in several sittings. For a $3 dessert, I think I got more joy and value out of it. In addition, their staff has always been super friendly, every time I went in to pick up my food, they greeted me with smiles, made small talk, and sanitized my credit card with alcohol wipe before returning it to me. I would give it an extra star for it if possible.

    TLDR: Average Thai food. Came to this place after reading reviews and was a little disappointed. This place is pretty average. The flavor proportions seem either too much or off--too strong of one thing compared to another so the flavor isn't properly balanced. Dimly lit dining area with a slight haze in the air--most likely from the kitchen. Radio/pop music playing in the background. Small 4 person bar. There is a saltwater fish tank next to it. Lots of take-out/delivery going on while we were waiting for our food. The majority doesn't sit in to eat here so expect open tables. They do take reservations but I don't think it's necessary. Tom Kha: slightly creamy texture. The taste of lime is stronger than the coconut milk. Pretty good but I've honestly had better. The only real edible things are the meat, cilantro, and mushroom. I wish it would come with rice. Pad See Ew: wide rice noodles, Chinese broccoli, and your choice of meat drenched in sauce. The sauce is a nice flavor but I think it's a bit too much. All you really taste is the sauce. I usually look to the noodles for neutral taste bud relief but everything was covered in sauce.

We are big fans of traditional fare, but the Block is a place we are so glad we experienced and will certainly return utilizing the knowledge we garnered during our first experience. A big thank you to for helping us through picking one price fixe January exploration of your local restaurants and filling it with other ala carte additions. As we often do we ordered far too much food, wanting to explore everything off a menu that is far reaching. Not sure if our additions worked with the price fixe menu, but we sure enjoyed checking everything out. The interior is interesting with the addition of structural steel in the space to keep this heritage building (I think) standing tall for a few generations. We sure hope it's still here for a long while and will most likely come again the next time we are in Victoria. That is saying a lot as there are a wide range of restaurants in the neighbourhood, but you do want to check the Block out!

    Great place when you're craving Hainanese Chicken…read more I had the combo chicken rice, which comes with your lighter Hainanese chicken and fried chicken. The Hainanese chicken was so tender and almost pure. It had depth and complemented the chicken fat infused rice. It's a nice balance and you can dip sauce into it if you like more intense flavors. I also liked the fried chicken because it had more texture to a tender dish and I found it nice to go back and forth. We also tried the noodles and it was decent and had a slow burn (spicy) to it but i like the rice dishes the best. The combo chicken was more than enough food for me - I left very full. Ambiance is casual. We arrived on Friday around 6:45pm, and joined a waitlist of 9 for 2 ppl. We waited about 25 minutes for a table. You sit down, order via QR code, and food comes out! Service was decent - nice and friendly and attentive - it's not a place where they'll wait on you regularly but it's also not that kind of setting. Parking is either on the street or in the H Mart complex parking lot. All in all - great eatery

    A very popular place in Redmond! I am a fan of the kind of chicken rice they specialize in this…read morerestaurant, so I make sure to give them a try, and I was not disappointed. The chicken was steamed beautifully, and the pieces tasted very fresh. The dish came with two kinds of sauces, and both are perfectly delicious. The rice was cooked with chicken fat and juices. It is high in calories, but it's worth it once in a while. My complaints for the place is, I wish they would offer a stir fried vegetable dish. I think veggies choices are lacking a bit on the menu. Also, I noticed their floor were extremely greasy and slippery. They put down black rugs in main walkways , but on the way to the restroom was without and I almost slip and fell. They really need a deep clean to their floor, or someone might fall for real.

All the staff were pretty chill and nice. Love all their smiles. I got my favorite, Beef Stew. I ordered this often in Lynnwood site, especially when I was sick. Regarless, it's on different location, the taste is the same! So, I'm happy about it. The vibe is completely different than Lynnwood one. This restaurant is darker and guests are way louder. Mostly, university students, I think. I like dim light atmosphere, unfortunately, I can't enjoy it much here. Too loud? Too dark? Or it's just not the right light bulbs, it got me dizzy. It was at night, it made the room even gloomy. Upon returning to the parking lot, the atmosphere is somewhat unsettling. This is particularly true for a woman walking alone. To access the parking lot, I had to walk through the darkness to the back of the building. Unfortunately, due to the narrow parking lot, one car was parked in a manner that blocked the exit way, requiring me to reverse all the way out. Overall fantastic staff, fantastic food, but I may not comeback because the vibe just doesn't suit me. This restaurant will most likely be very busy in the better location and fresh look.
