My friends and I spent the long weekend in Suncadia and came here for dinner. Best of Thai (which…read moreas Yelpers have stated is under new management and called Teelak Thai Kitchen according to Google) is a 15 minute drive from the resort. We came at around 4:30pm and the place was already pretty busy. Thankfully, they were able to seat my group of 7 people right away. The menu is pretty extensive and has curry, noodles, soups, fried rice, etc. My boyfriend and I ordered the RAMA NOODLES (4 star) with chicken and the PAD SEE EW (3 star) with chicken. My friends ordered the PINEAPPLE FRIED RICE, the NOODLE BOAT SOUP, the PAD THAI, and the YELLOW CURRY. The PAD RAMA was fantastic. The peanut butter sauce was super creamy and I think had coconut milk in it too giving it that extra richness. It also wasn't overly sweet which was a plus. The chicken was cut nice and thin and there were lots of vegetables. The PAD SEE EW was alright. The waiter warned our group that a 3 star was a 4 star at another restaurant, and he was definitely right. While we enjoy spice (and often order 4-5 stars at other restaurants), 2 stars would've been adequate. It was spicier than the pad Rama, but that was likely because the pad Rama had sauce to cut the spice. Everything else enjoyed their dishes. However, the PINEAPPLE FRIED RICE was overly salty and the NOODLE BOAT SOUP was also pretty spicy. Also, the YELLOW CURRY was huge but tasted different than your typical curry... I'm not sure what it was. As other Yelpers have stated, while the food is great, service can be slow so you can't be in a rush. They have 2-3 ppl on waitstaff seating people, waiting tables, tending the bar, etc. and the food might not come out all at once either (however we had a big group and so that was more understandable). The restaurant is clean inside and they have a huge bathroom that is clean as well. They also play old classic music videos on the TV. Overall: 3.5/5 for food, 3/5 for service, 3/5 for atmosphere

It's so fresh, all the ingredients go so well together and the fresh herbs are just a burst of sunshine flavor. I want to make it at home but I know it won't be the same. We actually had a strange service experience here where our server left in the middle of our dining experience? We think maybe his shift was cut but he never informed us. We called over another gal to help us and she was so sweet. It didn't really affect our dining experience and I'm assuming that was just a one off thing.

We have been supporting the restaurant since opening and all through COVID so REALLY love the food, Ploy, her family and want to support her. I enjoy the chicken Phad Thai and the egg rolls, so the food is excellent and quality. The problem is the schedule. Today it is Halloween and a Thai restaurant is CLOSED for Halloween. WHY? We MUST always CALL first to ensure they are open. We NEVER thought any restaurant would close for Halloween and once you have your mind set on such a type of food, there is nothing but extreme disappointment. Not like we have many choices in town... read more

The…read morerestaurant is located on the main road through Cle Elum with parking available in front of the restaurant and nearby. Our group of eight decided to stop by to grab dinner here after leaving Leavenworth. My sister ordered the Fresh Spring Rolls that she offered she share with us. They were good. Maybe my first time having spring rolls that had carrot in them. I ordered the Phad See Eiw with Chicken. The default of this entree is wide rice noodle, egg and broccoli. Quite plain, but it was filling. My boyfriend ordered the Spicy Chicken Special. It wasn't spicy at all in our opinion. However, it was still good and probably one of the best items to order on the menu. It came with a side of rice, unlike most of the other entrees on the menu if it wasn't a house or noodle dish. The service was good. We didn't have any issues with ordering, being seated, or paying.

When we got into town (20 minutes into the wait) I figured I'd go in and let them know we were there. I was responded to very rudely "we're busy" "the email said 35 minutes, it'll be at least another 20". Nothing kind, no apology. I sent my husband back in to finally pick up our order. Only to find out the fried rice I'd subbed for white wasn't a thing. They only make fried rice as a full order. Yet I was still charged $5 for it. Additionally, our two star entree felt like at least 5. We like spicy food but we could barely eat this- our lips were burning and backs of our neck sweating. Had it not been so spicy, it would have been delicious. So $31 dollars later, we had ONE entree and a side of white rice. Unsure if I'd go back.
