    Pad Phad Kee Mao Thai Iced Tea Phad Thai Coconut Prawns
    Karina R.

    I cannot say enough nice things about this place! Finding a good Thai food restaurant on the east side of the lake is a bit tricky. Stumbled upon this spot right after thrifting across the street and have come back everytime. The service is great, they are so kind and quick. The restaurant offers a lot of seating and their little under the sea design is kind of cute. Their prices are also pretty affordable! For me if it's going to be a Thai food night, I will only be coming to similan. I've also recommended everyone I've spoken to try it. 10/10 best Thai food !

    My boyfriend and I came here for dinner this past week since we were in the Issaquah area. Similan Thai Cuisine has been in Issaquah for a long time. I think the last time I had been to Similan was nearly ten years ago. The restaurant is trendy casual. The interior is pretty tight, but they can fit probably fit just under 50 people. The menu has all your classic Thai entree items including curry, noodles, rice dishes, soup, and stir- fried dishes. I ordered the PAD KHEE MAO ($15.95) with chicken and my boyfriend ordered the PAD SEE EW ($15.95) with chicken. We both got 5-stars because we like our food spicy, and it's rare that a restaurant gives us an actual 5-star dish. Service was quick and we got our food within 15 minutes of ordering. Portions were generous in comparison to some other Thai restaurants in the area. Our waiter also came by to check-in on us and refill our waters. The PAD KHEE MAO was very good and probably around a 4 star in spiciness. I liked that it had just a tinge of sweetness and was loaded with vegetables including broccoli, onion, tomato, and green and red pepper. The noodles were also nice and wide and evenly coated with sauce. At the table, they have some chili sauce and diced jalapeños in oil which went well with the noodles. The PAD SEE EW was also decent, although for some reason, it tasted spicier than my dish even though both were 5-star dishes. It tasted slightly sweeter than my noodles, as pad see ew should be. Prices are slightly higher than other Thai restaurants in the area. The noodle dishes with chicken, pork, or vegetables at Khao San are $13.95 and the noodle dishes at Noodle Boat are $14.95. With that said, I think Khao San and Similan are my top picks. Overall: 4/5 for food, 4/5 for service, 3.5/5 for atmosphere

    Floor grime.

    A restaurant's bathroom has a lot to say about its kitchen. "Grubby" is how I found Similan's women's bathroom today. No excuse for this.

I had to give them another try and their other location. I ordered first the Crab Wonton and they were just as I expected. Slightly crunchy, smooth and creamy with delicious crab taste. Then I ordered as the main Red Curry with Pork and the Garlic with Pork. Both dish were very delicious and not overly powering. You can taste the crunchiness of the cooked broccoli and the tender pork was soaked in this delicious garlic sauce. The curry dish was also super good. The only slightly down side was since I asked for two stars...it was easy a medium high heat to my taste and that was a bit much. So if you like some medium low spiciness to your meal, ask for just one star or none. Haha The waitress lady was very nice and accommodating. She brought my meal in about 12 to 15 mins and that is everything. Quick and convenient. As for the ambiance of the place was nice and plenty of lighting. It is on the small side with not to many tables. I noticed they had a lot of their extra stored drinks displayed and laying around the restaurant. It is possible they do not have the extra storage, so they had to put them in the restaurant, who knows. Overall very delicious and good Thai food, despite the spiciness level being too high for me. I would definitely give them a try and I also plan to return to try their other yummy dishes. :)

A nice small restaurant with good amount of options to choose from the menu. The staff were super friendly and polite. We can smell the foods being cook in the back; making our appetite even stronger. What we got: Pad Thai w/ tofu (5/5) We asked for "thai spicy" and it delivered! Super spicy BUT it retains all the other plavors; it was the perfect pad thai for us. We were crying by how spicy it was; but it was so good. Totally Garlic Crispy Chicken (5/5) Hands down one the best garlic chicken. Its crunchy, saucy, garlicy and we asked for "thai spicy" as well; and its still soooo sooo flavorlfull even with the amount of chili. Iced thai coffee and iced thai tea (4/5) Great drinks and not as sweet as other thai restaurants. It was delicious Tom Yum Soup (4/5) Great soup; not mind blowing good; but it was delicious regardless; (might got overshadow by how good the other dishes were) Overall We will be back for sure and try their other offering. And i would recommend this place to everyone. As long they stay consistent; we will go back everytime we crave thai foods.

    I've been coming to this place for years and it's one of my family's go to Thai places in Issaquah…read more I like the service and the food is good, but inconsistent from visit to visit. Sometimes I get the absolute best basil fried rice from here, it's crispy, well-fried, and amazingly delicious. Other times, like when I was there on Sunday, my rice was pretty wet and oily. The other dish, the Phad Kee Mao, was well-seasoned but too tomato-y for my taste. Previously, it's tasted better too! Still, it's a very clean, well-taken care of restaurant that I will go back to--fingers crossed it's a delicious visit next time!

We think this is going to be our to go spot for thai foods. The foods were full of flavors, portioned accordingly and the right amount of spicy levels (whichever you prefer) What we got: Crying tiger (5/5) Beefs were nicely season and cooked. The sauce with it were delicious. Paired nicely with the lettuce. Great appetizer. Kra prao with egg and chicken; spicy lvl 5. (5/5) This was great as well. Fried egg on top of rice with very well seasoned and cooked chicken. Great to share but also perfect if you just want to get something for yourself since you get everything. Pad khee mao w/ crispy pork; spicy lvl 5. (5/5) This was perfect. The right amount of sauce and spicines. The crispy pork is super crispy and delicious. This is my wife's favorite thai dish and she were super happy with it. Lots of flavor. Eggplant delight; spicy lvl 3. (4.5/5) Perfect to get and eat with your rice. It saucy, flavorfull, and right amount of spicines. It is greasy since the eggplant was deep fried. But its delicious!! Thai iced tea (3/5) The tea were too sweet for us. Let it sit a bit for the ice to melt and dilute it; it makes it much better. Thai iced coffee (3.5/5) This was a bit too sweet as well. Its decent overall. Overall Highly recommend to try. We thought we would have a lot of left over since we ordered plenty of foods; but we almost finish them all. We were very satisfied and happy to find this restaurant. We will go back for sure and try their other offerings.

It had delicious pho, which was great after hiking on a windy, fall day! My partner and I came here on a late Sunday afternoon, and the place wasn't too busy as there were only a few patrons dining inside since it wasn't yet peak dinner hour. We were able to be seated immediately and the server was very prompt and food was made fresh to order. My partner had pho with flank steak while I tried the lemongrass pho with the beef rib. It wasn't the easiest thing to eat, but I highly recommend trying the beef rib pho in the lemongrass broth as the meat was tender and flavorful. I just loved the lemongrass flavor so much, which makes this pho one of the best I've had around town. It's not everyday you find a lemongrass pho, so this one was a gem. Again, not easy to chow down on, as you'll likely have to use your hands to bite into this bad boy, but it's worth it. In addition to different phos, they have rice dishes, vermicelli bowls, appetizers and Vietnamese coffee. The space isn't the largest, but enough for groups to dine in. Parking is plenty as it's located in the business strip that houses REI.

    So close to being good. The ingredients seemed fresh and mostly the flavors are good…read more The fresh spring rolls are large and mostly stuffed with rice noodles. Too much for me, so I pulled some out of my piece (see pic). Might have wanted to eat the whole thing. But the peanut sauce was boring, very hoisen heavy. My other really liked everything about the Mongolian beef. He enjoyed the sauce and the different style of the dish than he was used to. He cleared his plate. I loved the flavor of the stir-fry vegetables with chicken. However, there was literally two small pieces of carrot and broccoli. The rest was a ton of cabbage with a little onion. OK if you are a cabbage fan. The biggest issue was how much sauce it was swimming in (see end of meal pic). Might give them another try.
