Great location, amazing portion sizes, and delicious food I could not ask for anything more :)

I've been ill and was craving some Tom Kha soup. They were quick and the price was very reasonable. But the Tom Kha was missing the sweet salty balance. It was just salty. I had to add a bit of sugar. I felt like it was also missing some flavor from galangal and lime. It's all about taste for me and they definitely did not deliver. read more

Delicious food, incredible prices. Variable wait times. Sometimes my food is ready when the company preferred website says, sometimes I wait 20-40 minutes in the restaurant after alerting staff that I'm there. I always leave with hot fresh food though so there's that! read more

Amazing bang for your buck. Portions are great. With how cheap rice is I'm surprised they snuff you on it though and have to order it separately for every dish you order. read more

This place is a hidden gem. The flavors are great, the portions are substantial! Unfortunately I can't speak to the service because we did doordash, but the delivery happened quick so I assume there were no problems at the restaurant. The spring rolls were soooo fresh, the tofu inside was still a bit warm, so it was obvious they weren't sitting around all day. And the peanut sauce, omg the peanut sauce!!! Amazing and a great size! The pad see ew was great. I love mine with carrots and broccoli do this was everything I wanted! Perfect bouncy noodles and flavors as well. We also got he Thai fried rice. When it said peppers I thought it was just bell peppers... there were also Thai chiliis, which was an amazing surprise because we LOVE spice!! It was such a great rice! But heads up to people to don't do spice lol. We also got the crispy garlic chicken, this one was a bit of a smaller portion but it was soooo good and still crunchy after delivery. Definitely might be our new Thai take out spot :) read more

I'll start with the good because this is my favorite Thai restaurant in a five mile radius, and I am a regular here. The food is consistently delicious with a great amount of food for what you pay. I've had most of their curries and rolls and I have never once been disappointed. The things I don't like are minor, but do add up leaving me to not put these as a five star. I usually get the yellow curry with tofu and while I would eat this for every meal if I could, I always order a 0 star and it is realistically between a 1 and 2 star rating for spice. So for my spice haters, avoid the curry. Next, I always do take out and whenever I pick up, no one is sitting in restaurant. It's also 50/50 if I go in I'll actually have someone at the front hand me my food - I usually just grab my order and go (which, if I was not paying attention, I could always grab the wrong order messing up my own dinner and someone else's). Finally, I have found a shrimp in my tofu curry which I know could be a big deal for other people with seafood allergies or dietary preferences. Not a big deal for me but good to note that if you have a strong need to avoid seafood, probably avoid the curries. Again, overall love this place and love its food, but only for take out. read more

Smile Thai is one of those places that I always default to when I can't decide on what to eat but want something that is close by, tastes great, and is cost-effective. Most of the entrees are $10 which is cheaper but the portions are also a little smaller than other places. I've been here many times and my favorite is the pineapple fried rice, but the pad see ew and the pad kee mao are good too. Just a note that the curries don't come with rice so you'll have to order it separately or make your own at home. There is some seating inside but I rarely see people dine in; most people just order take out or pick up to go. This is a small business I love to support! read more

Mostly seems like they do take out. We have had nearly everything on the menu and it is all pretty good. The crispy garlic chicken, pad see ew and fried tofu are pretty good. We typically have a short wait when we get over there for takeout. The location is great and there is lots of street parking around. Recently (September 2024) have not been answering their phone or accepting take out orders through their website but they still seem to be open. read more

This spot is great for some quick Thai food. I live around the area. So, I come here at least 1-2 per week to order there food. They are quick and fast service. Prices are very reasonable compare to other Thai restaurants in the area. Give them a try, you won't regard it! read more

Probably had one of the best pad see ews I've had in a long time!!! We were walking around the green lake area looking for a thai restaurant and stumbled across this place. They turned out to be take-out only but I'm so glad we got food here!! I ordered the beef pad see ew and thai tea, the pad see ew noodles were super flavorful--they also have many vegetarian options (tofu/no egg). The thai tea was also really good! read more

We stopped by here cause I was really craving Thai food and this definitely satisfied my taste buds. I actually wouldn't have found this place if it wasn't for yelp and seeing the great reviews I had to try it. We ordered the pad Kee mao with chicken. For $10, you actually get a good portion. It's hard to find a meal for $10 or less these days so that was a plus. The pad Kee mao was flavorful, it was filled with veggies and chicken. Overall a solid dish. There seem to only be 1 person working the restaurant so the service is not that great. We had to ring the bell several times and yell for service before getting some help. Maybe when the restaurant is back to dine in, it would be better read more

Pad Thai was great, properly spiced and a good amount. Chicken wings were also good. Yen to Four was tasteless and there should have been flat wide rice noodles. I will definitely order from here again. The two in the restaurant were really nice. read more

Oh my gosh, this place is SO GOOD. We live out of state now and this is literally our first stop when we're driving from the airport, lol. Incredibly reasonable prices, friendly staff and delicious food - we always get the pad see ew noodles and curry and both are flavorful, saucy enough, chock full of good jngredients, and with ample portions. Just writing this made me crave it. Can't wait til our next visit! read more

The owner is very nice. She has very good prices on most of the dishes. They don't do dine in because they don't have enough staff after covid. but for takeout, the prices are very reasonable, and the food is good and made in very fast order. Please support small businesses like this because it's hard for them, especially after Covid. I recommend the garlic beef or the pad see ew read more

I was cat sitting for a friend and Smile Thai was around the corner from her apartment. I got lunch to go and was pleased with what I got: Thai sausage lunch combo with rice and pad Thai. I was surprised with the amount of food you get, it's like 3 huge sausages and pad Thai PLUS rice. I wouldn't have ordered the fresh roll if I had known it came with all that, but the fresh roll was also really good. I just wish it had come with some dipping sauce or something. The sausage was very flavorful and the taste of lemongrass was nice; something you don't get in most sausages. The pad Thai was a tad too sweet for my taste, but still good. I would come back! read more

Loved this place when it was Krittika's, and love it still as Smile Thai. I'm not sure what led to the name change as the menu has stayed the same, but I'll be a regular here forever since the food is so stellar! Smile Thai is the "default" in our household when we can't decide, and we can never pass on the Thai Sausage, as it's PERFECT. It seems steep but it's worth every penny. Honestly, I think it's ruined non-Thai/Lao sausages for me--it's just no contest. We also love their fresh rolls, and that they're so generous with the amount of peanut sauce. Apart from the sausages, my entree order rotates from these 3: Eggplant (DELICIOUS), Rama Noodle & Guay Tiew Krua Kai. With the pandemic, I've been coming here at least once a week for their lunch special (spring/fresh roll, pad thai & your choice of entrees). It always lasts me two meals is a no brainer! read more

This place has been an absolute pleasant find. Their red curry has the best complimentary items. The bamboo shoots are so delicious and they are one of the very few places I'm aware of that has them in their curry. And then there's sliced cucumbers that lightly cuts into the coconut flavor of the curry just a tad so you aren't overwhelmed by the coconut taste. What I really like most about this dish is that I can use this as separate servings. A bowl of rices and picking at the various items in the curry for one meal. Since theres usually an abundance of curry broth left, I usually add rice to absorb over night and it becomes a great next rice meal to eat with eggs, sausage, pretty much whatever you usually pair your rice with. It just adds another dimension of flavor to your rice. read more

Solid choice for Thai in Green Lake. I used to come here years ago when it was Krittika, and the new spot here is keeping up with the tradition. Definitely a good value in terms of portions and quality of ingredients. Ordering online was quick and easy. The Thai fried rice was excellent, with the rice cooked just right and full of flavor. We also loved the pad see ew, which had tons of chicken and veggies. The pad thai was ok but a bit too sweet. I would rate it a 4.5 so let's round up to 5! read more

Finding this Gem during the pandemic was a save. Our current favorite thai place was undergoing management changes and we needed to find a back up. Smile did not disappoint. We love how fast and delish their food was. The only problem is.. when ordering through Yelp they don't receive all the item we placed. So make sure to double check your order items before leaving if you used Yelp. read more

Food is pretty good. When I walked in to pick up my food the place felt unclean but there were cleaning products on the table so I'm unsure. They handed me my food fast. I thought the food portion was a bit smaller than average. read more

So good! Love this place! It's more of a takeout place, not a place to dine in. Tables are typically filled with Doordash drivers. Not even sure they have dine-in like Krittakas. But food is a major upgrade from Krittikas. Note, take out usually takes twice as long as the 15 min they always quote. lol, not a big deal, just plan ahead. Egg rolls always crispy and fresh. Rice is delish and all curry dishes flavorful. A big benefit to the Latona Ave food options! Especially when husband wants tamales (Frelard Tamales), I want curry (Smile), and daughter wants edamame and sushi rolls (Tsai Sushi). Staff is always friendly and quality is consistent. read more

The food is good, they only offer takeout or delivery and we order delivery from here pretty frequently and have never been disappointed.

Classic Seattle Thai food. The Pad Thai was so sweet it tasted like a dessert. It was okay, but I miss living in a city with better food than here. read more

I picked up lunch from here and it was amazing! I got a thai iced tea and a lunch combo. I chose red curry for my lunch combo and it came with white rice, pad thai and 2 spring rolls, so much food! I asked for the red curry at the highest spice level and it had a light kick, I also have a high spice tolerance, so it might be spicier for others, I'm not sure. Overall though, they were super nice, the food was great and there was so much of it, all for under $20. Would definitely recommend! read more

Smile Thai is my go-to Thai takeout spot. Pad Kee Mao, Pad Se Ew, Pad Woon Sen and the fresh rolls are my favorites. The noodle dishes are a bit on the oily side, in case that bothers you. But the flavor is great and the price is unheard of for Seattle ($10 per entree?!) especially for the amount of food they provide. Takeout service is prompt and easy to pickup. Ambiance-wise, it is definitely a takeout spot rather than sit-down. read more

Favorite restaurant in Seattle .. Awesome prices , good food, not greasy or too much salt and sugar , friendly

This place was so good! We got the wonton soup, pad Thai, garlic crispy chicken, and phanang curry. Everything was amazing. Like zero complaints from my "always has something to say" husband and my super picky 4 year old. The kiddo devoured the noodles that were for the soup and ate the peanut sauce and rice which is a usually a miss. My husband ate everything, talking about how good everything was every time he finished a bite. I was like I know, stop talking about it and eat! The portion sizes were perfect for us. They were generous, they weren't HUGE like, hey here's a bunch of food to make up for the fact is not that great of food. I felt it was a perfect price point and over expectations for quality. We're going back tonight because the kiddo needs more of those "yummy noodles" We're also staying in lake city as we had a home fire and this is where our temporary housing is. An employee swore up and down this place was amazing even with only having a few Yelp reviews we went for it. When we're back in kirkland I will still totally make the drive out here if the food stays consistent as that first visit. read more

This is my go-to takeout Thai place. Good portions for an incredibly affordable price, they never skimp on the quantities, and the food is great! read more

Ordered the basil fried rice for lunch and thought it was alright. Had better Thai food in the area but worth a try if you're just looking for quick, affordable Thai take out. read more

Smile makes solid Thai food. I like that you can add extra veggies and egg, even when ordering online. Spiciness can be inconsistent, and seems to default to none of you don't indicate your preference, so don't forget to include it in the notes. read more

Ordered vegan fried rice. Amazing taste, good portion size, love the price! Will be ordering again!

Tried this place on DoorDash. The crispy garlic chicken was absolutely to die for. Unfortunately, the Pad Kee Mao was inedible. Smelled off as soon as I opened the box, took two bites and threw it away. Would try again but get rice instead of noodles. read more

Local favorite and a must-have. The prices are not just reasonable, they bring me back to a time when Seattle was an affordable city. $10 for a big plate of fried rice, perfectly cooked veggies and pork? $20 for large portions of rice and noodles? This is the kind of restaurant where you dont want any leftovers, youd rather go into a coma from eating too much. But then again the leftovers are great. Try the spring roll and ask for hot sauce or sriracha as well as peanut sauce. Surprisingly filling, and the tofu is better than you can usually find elsewhere. Plus its a great lunch on the way Ordering to-go is easy and a great option for dinner at home. The tupperware they use is my go-to lunch box read more

Man, I just got done eating and had to write my second review ever for this place. So good! Not only that, but such an insane value! we paid $30 for a ton of food, and all of it was just so good. I would have expected prices to be at least 50% higher for this quality of Thai food. I REALLY like spicy stuff and the 4 star was just right. definitely makes you sweat, but doesn't mess up the flavor like some Thai spots that just add a bunch of spice, but it messes with the flavor. definitely headed back here! read more

Great food and great price!! Everything was fresh and flavorful. Curry does not come with rice so make sure you order it if you want it. So glad to have found this place, will definitely become a regular customer! read more

Smile Thai is so fire. Easily best Thai I know of in Seattle. Crispy garlic chicken is amazing. Also have gotten pad Thai, pork belly, and more from here and it's all been good. Cheap too. read more

We got the Pad Thai and Red Curry. Perfect combo. The food was amazing and the service was superb. Highly recommend checking this place out!! Next time, we're going to try their mango sticky rice and thai iced tea! read more

Horrific!!! Ordered take out. No limes, no bean sprouts . . .terrible presentation. Soggy spinach, Pork tasted fishy! ? Can't say enough about how disappointing this was! read more

I live a few blocks away from here and would come once a week! The owner is very friendly and cooks some of the best Thai dishes in the city. The price is super affordable and the quantity is large. The entrees all have great flavor and remind me of my time in Thailand. This ain't no fusion food, this is the real deal. The only not so great thing I have to mention is that they don't always open on time, but we're only talking about 10-15 minutes late at most. It's the pandemic ya know? The owner does everything herself. Can't wait to order my pad thai again tomorrow! Soo good. read more

A recent dinner unfortunately showed a marked decline in the food quality. Salty, pepper flakes just sprinkled on top to add spice. There are other, better Thai places around. read more
