Modern-looking, clean, and bright restaurant with good food. Two dishes I tried were fantastic: the papaya salad and the shrimp paste eggplant. Both dishes were flavor-indoctrinated. The papaya salad is as good as it gets: it had a nice kick, tasted great, and was refreshing! The shrimp paste eggplant was truly well made and outstanding (this is coming from a Chinese person who knows the difference between a good or bad eggplant dish). My only complaint with the eggplant dish was that it was a little too salty. But the small cabbage soup and rice paired well to balance any salinity issues.

This place is soooo terrible. Do not waste your money eating here. When I picked it up, I knew, just based on how it smelled in the car, that it wasn't going to be good. I got the Pad See Ew, which is supposed to come with some veggies... zero. None. Zip. It was a block of nothing but brown noodles with this awful metal-like taste. There wasn't even any Thai basil in the dish.... as there always is with Pad See Ew All for $22 dollars after tax and tip. What a waste of money. The dish they served me probably cost $2 to make. Please, please do not eat here. Save your money. Severe disappointment. read more

The taste is great but likely wouldn't go again. Warning #1: The avocado corn salad contains exactly 2 pieces shrimp. The portion of every dish I tried is way too small for a $14-16 price tag. Warning #2: I ordered 3 dishes to go and found out that I only received 2 of them when I got home. Is it expected for me to open the brown to-go bag that was stapled shut and verify the content in front of them? I'd think that's kinda odd but I will definitely do that next time, if I ever go again. read more

The food is good but a little on the sweet side. All your basic dishes here, they make an effort for you to enjoy your meal.

Everything is amazing here - lots of authentic and unique dishes. we ordered curry, soup, and a delicious stir fried egg plant dish. The egg plant was everyone's fav, but every dish was memorable and tasty. Will definitely be back to try more! read more

The hubs and i only tried a couple of dishes, but the food was really good, the corn and avocado salad was perfect on a hot day, the duck with curry was super tasty and the wings were decent. The ambiance is casual, but seemed clean and well cared for. Service was good, a bit of miscommunication, but straightened out eventually. We would totally go back any time we are in Seattle read more

Secret Savory - Corn Avocado Corn Salad, curry duck, crispy Lemongrass wings - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

It's fun. Super friendly and attentive team. The menu is different. Never had a jackfruit salad...lots of people like...but I'm not lots of people. All the fried things were good Wings, crabs, etc. Papaya salad was what I would expect. And you don't have to tell them to make it "thai spicy" which is nice. 4 is plenty. If your seasoned or a masochist turn it up to 11 then, er I mean 5. No thai beef salad here and that's my mistake for not checking the menu first. I don't believe a restaurant should have to compromise its authenticity for the inauthentic flavor profiles of the inexperienced or the particular food missions of people. You do you Secret Savory. It's working. The presentation is on point and the execution does not leave one wanting more. read more

Really good food! The staff was helpful in suggestion their favorites and the perfect amount of food for our group of 5. Great flavors and the sauces were perfectly portioned with all the mains. I really enjoyed the Crispy Savory Tofu! read more

Very solid Thai spot in Ballard with a lot of great vegetarian offerings. I've been a few times now and have always been satisfied with the service, food, and price. Their pad see ew is reliably good and they actually pack on the heat if you ask for it, but my favorite dish is their chili eggplant and tofu. Reminds me of a more Sichuanese eggplant preparation in a Thai context. Food has always tasted fresh and is ready ahead of schedule. Would definitely recommend for takeout or a casual dine in option. read more

Ballard has a what feels like a million Thai places. Most of them are good, but this place took Thai to another level. Highly recommend. read more

Like a good spanking! A Spicy paradigm of good Thai food is sharp quick upfront, but quickly gives way to the fresh textures and savory or sweet flavors. The Chili Eggplant was beyond good in this having a passionate cut and cook of all the vegetables, and peaking with the sweet slender Asian eggplant itself. read more

We order the vegan version of pad see ew here. We think the dish is way too sweet. We don't think we will come back.

We have only ever ordered takeout from Secret Savory so we can't speak to the ambiance but we are fans! We usually opt for the green beans, a noodle dish, and one of their delicious curries! Portion sizes are generous, the seasoning is on point with bold, delicious flavors, and we are always happy after we eat their food! read more

Always end up ordering from this place while in town visiting family. Everything is fresh & delicious! The menu is very gluten free & vegetarian/ vegan conscious too read more

The Panang tofu was super awesome. The portion wasn't that big but all the flavor was spot on and it was good quality for the price. My first impression is that it's definitely worth running through the menu. read more

Don't skip this awesome place when hopping to Ballard. Taste different dishes from Thai regions, Tang its good !!!

I love the Tom Kha soup and it's a fun environment here. They have lots of options and everything tastes fresh.

Yum! This place has Thai food that is so super spicy, it will satisfy your taste buds. Super delicious, and excellent customer service. Lucky for us, they were open late night. Think they close at 10 PM on a weeknight. I would definitely return, such a treat to see that green rice. read more

If I were to come back I would not get the Pad Thai again... I ordered the pad Thai with tofu, no egg, mild, got a large portion but it was sadly pretty bland and boring. There was almost no flavor other than the lime I squeezed in. I was expecting some spice cause typically Thai places will make their food at least a little spicy even if you say mild, but this did not. It would also have been better if there were some vegetables to add some excitement to the boring noodles and tofu. However, my husband got the shrimp paste eggplant, I tried some of the eggplant and it was really good! It does come with pork though so the only way I would order that for myself would be if they can make it without pork. read more

I've only tried this place once as a take out, but this place has become my favorite Thai restaurant in this area. I only gave a four, because I haven't experienced their full service yet. (Also there was a minor error with the order...) Ordered: Thai sausage: it was flavorful and delicious as is, and was also great with the accompanied raw ginger pieces. YUM WOON SEN: I will come back just for this. Fresh shrimp and squid, and very well balanced flavor and ingredients. KANG PED BED YANG (red curry with duck etc): I asked for not spicy but it came spicy.. so I got to eat this by myself. Flavorful and the fruits added nice sweetness without overpowering the rest. PHAD SEE EW: my husband liked it a lot Royal Thai Dessert: never had this before- while on the sweet side, all of them were delicious. KAOW TOM MUD TARO: it was different from the photo but not too sweet and delicious coconut milk base taro dessert. I will order this again. read more

I'm so glad to have found another delicious Thai place in Ballard! Ordered green beans, Phad see ew with seafood, and soft shell crab for takeout. The crab was definitely the highlight of the meal and I can't wait to get it again. I love meals that are spicy, savory, and saucy! Secret savory definitely hits the mark for all three. Only thing is I wish the crab dish came with some rice so you can maximize the delicious curry sauce. read more

A very recommend place for a date. Not too many people since they are new open. Have some soft music playing was just good enough to cover for two people conversation. Intimate label for gluten free customers. The reason I very recommend you guys to come is they make food very pretty as you can see below and also their service is good! read more

Secret Savory - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Pandemic update: Excellent food as always, always really fast, takeout is packed with extra care. I kinda hate myself for ordering it cuz they offer different (for Ballard) dishes than you would normally find in an American Thai place...but their green curry dish is REALLY good! Ask for a side of the spicy chilies in fish sauce (prik nam pla?) with whatever you order. Their crispy tofu dish is good too but it will steam in the to-go box if it gets delivered so I recommend ordering it when you can visit in person. PLEASE support this restaurant and PLEASE visit savemarketstreet.org (basically tell SDOT: please postpone the freaking neverending construction so Ballard biz can recover in 2020). Update: The shrimp paste eggplant is a go-to every time. Sooo good. I got the squid dish tonight with salted egg and didn't like it very much, but that's on me since I just wanted to try something new. It just didn't have much flavor. I'm not sure what it is supposed to normally taste like so take it with a grain of salt Very cute+classy interior and really good service! It wasn't too busy when we went so they let us keep our stroller folded out. It's a split level restaurant (most of the tables are on a floor about two feet lower than the entrance) so if you are in a wheelchair you will want to make a reservation just in case, during peak hours, and let them know you need one of the 3 tables that are accessible. I will say the prices are a bit high but the presentation is way better than your average thai place, so you're paying a little for that. It's not as expensive as Pestle Rock for what we got. I'm not sure if lunch portions are smaller but those come w rice if you dine in so maybe try lunch specials first. We really enjoyed our dishes: Shrimp paste eggplant: eggplant was done sooo good. Hung lae curry: really tasty pork belly pieces! It's a bit similar to a mole sauce in color and consistency and has slices of ginger. Very cute plating. Would not recommend if you're looking for a curry with tons of stuff in it or you don't like ginger. My only suggestion to the restaurant is some of the non fatty pieces could have been more tender. A much bigger table sat near us and every dish that came out for their table looked super amazing. We'll have to come back and try other stuff that we normally can't get from generic American-Thai places. I could see if this place got really popular soon, the experience could suffer. They still seemed like they were working things out and only had two servers, with some customers picking up to-go. They were very attentive and kind, though. read more

Probably the best Thai ever! Avocado and corn salad was fresh and tasty. The Spicy Herbal Sea Bass - amazing. All ingredients were absolutely fresh and expertly prepared At this point I think I have never before had good, regional Thai food. read more

This is a Ballard hidden gem. I had spicy beef sirloin curry and it was to die for! The portion size is appropriate for a single meal. The seating is a bit janky outside, but the inside is cute. The service was quick and the Thai tea was delicious! read more

Really liked the turmeric curry. This place does authentic regional Thai, according to their menu. I appreciate the diversity of dishes, which is beyond standard offerings at most Thai restaurants in Seattle. read more

This restaurant has a variety of dishes not often found in other Thai restaurants. Nice ambiance. We ate lunch there and it's past the busy hours. Service very good. Give 4 stars because I need to try more dishes in the future. read more

This place is tucked away in Ballard, is pretty new, and is ahhhmazing. Tried it for dinner on Friday, had some leftovers Saturday, and am hoping to go back for more today (Sunday). We had: the green beans - so fresh, flavorful, and perfect Pad see ew with tofu - so so tasty and at an excellent price point at only 13 dollars Green curry with tofu - delicious as well, maybe could have come with a tiny bit more rice, but nevertheless, a pretty perfect dish Can't wait to try the eggplant with chile and basically everything else on the menu. Great service, ambiance, truly a both secret and savory experience. While we didn't imbibe during our visit, I should note that they do have a full bar. A new Ballard favorite. read more

Used to be the best Pad Thai in town, but it hasn't been very good the last few times I've ordered it - clearly the recipe has changed. It's overly salty now, the sauce isn't as good, no carrot, and just not very enjoyable. If I order 2 servings of Pad Thai and request that one be made without something, they'll often apply the special instructions to both orders, which is frustrating. Wish they still used the old recipe. Not sure I'll be eating there much anymore if this basic dish can't be done right. read more

Absolutely delicious! I've tried at least 6 items on the menu, and all have been excellent. I love how diverse their menu is, and they are always fast and friendly. I've eaten at at least 50 Thai restaurants in Western Washington and I would rate this #1. Keep up the good work! read more

This place is so good that when I ordered it for the first time, I went back the next day and got it again. They are so nice there and one of the employees told me that if you order directly from their website the prices are lower than if you order off a food courier app. My fav is the Pad Thai. Only thing missing is that I wish they had a fresh roll option on the menu read more

I came here with a group of friends, shortly after this place opened. It wasn't busy on a Saturday evening and we were seated right away. The food was sooo delicious!!! Everything we ordered exceeded my expectations. The crispy crab is sooo yummy! I am a huge kao soi fan and I really liked the royal kao-soi here- full of flavors. We ordered family style- multiple things to share but i think given the portion size next time I would probably get individual dish. The service is quicK, staff is really nice and attentive, the new decor (updated from the previous restaurant) is great too! I would definitely recommend this place for some amazing Thai food! And since there is no wait time, I would definitely come here more often! read more

I hope this place doesn't change, ever...how they do things. What they are doing now really works. The food is plated artfully and very tasty. You can tell they use good ingredients and know how to use their spices. As they do in Thailand. They do have a full bar but if there was one negative comment they don't know how to make mixed drink that well. For example they have a general idea of how to make a dry vodka little dirty martini but it is hit or miss each time. Sometimes it's pretty on point and sometimes it is way off. They can do the basics. And the wine, Sauvignon blanc, is not the best selection. I think if they hired a real bartender they would make a lot more money. We know the real money is at the bar. If you don't care too much about the drinks then it is a great place to go for a fantastic meal. The place is small so if you have a large group you should make a reservation as they can put tables together to accommodate that. But it does reduce the number of smaller parties they can take so I would check first before going or just make a res. read more
