I recently met up with a friend from high school here for lunch, and this visit was extra special…read morebecause we hadn't seen each other since we were about 17! A LOT of life has happened since then, so we definitely had plenty to catch up on. Neither of us had been to Bloom Thai before, but we both love Thai food, so we decided to give it a try. This place is definitely different from any Thai restaurant I've been to before. It's super small, with only a handful of tables. You order at the counter, grab your number, and find a table. They also have a big jug of cucumber water that was so refreshing! They didn't have my usual yellow chicken curry, so I decided to try something completely different--the drunken noodles. I honestly had no idea what I was ordering, but OH MY GOSH... I was in love with this dish! The flavors were fantastic, and they topped it with deep-fried basil. I'm not even kidding when I say I think I've dreamed about that crispy basil every day since! It was SO good! The food was definitely the star of the show for me, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. I think this is such a fun little spot to meet a friend for lunch, especially if you want somewhere casual and different. That said, it is VERY small, so I personally wouldn't choose it for a family dinner with a bunch of picky eaters or rambunctious kids. The menu is also a little different than your typical Thai restaurant, so definitely keep that in mind. For dinner, I'd probably order it to-go and enjoy it at home. But for a girls' lunch or catching up with a friend? Absolutely! Great little find, and I will definitely be back for those drunken noodles and that amazing fried basil!

The service was definitely the highlight of my experience. The husband-and-wife owners were…read moreincredibly kind and welcoming throughout my meal. The husband, who was serving, checked in several times to make sure I had everything I needed. The chef also stopped by my table when she came out of the kitchen, which was such a thoughtful touch. The pork belly was very crispy(an additional fee), but too salty for my taste. The Pad Thai was good, although not the best I've had. The noodles were cooked well, and I enjoyed the flavor of the sauce. It did not come spicy, but chili sauce was available to add some heat. The spicy omelette tom yum soup had a great balance of mild spice and sourness, and it tasted very authentic. The texture of the fried omelette after soaking in the soup was not my favorite, but that may come down to personal preference. The Thai iced tea had a good balance of tea and condensed milk, although it was sweeter than I prefer. You order at the counter, and the food is brought to your table afterward. Water is self-service. They also have a helpful sign explaining the ordering and seating process for first-time guests. The restaurant was very clean, nicely decorated, and had a great ambiance. I especially enjoyed the small area showcasing the chef's history and journey. Overall, the warm service and welcoming atmosphere made the experience memorable.

I'm not a huge fan of Thai food so I'm not sure if I'm the best person to rate it. My friend…read moreselected this restaurant for her birthday so that's how I landed here. We were a part of 11. There was a it of a rocky start because they gave our table to another party, which was smaller, so we all were bunched together at the front of the restaurant, which has a tight entry. It was intended for the party of 8. So we didn't have much elbow room to eat. I ordered the golden duck and my partner had basil rice with beef. My best friend ordered a lemon curry chicken that was so good I almost switched our plates. I actually really loved my food too. My partner enjoyed the rice but not the beef. I also had the crab wontons which were super yummy. Everyone pretty much loved what they ordered. They raved about the Thai tea. It truly would have been a five star experience had we been more comfortable. Also, they kind of just forgot about us after they dropped off our main courses. We sat so long without being checked on that none of wanted dessert anymore when quite a few of us were going to order some at first. I'd loved to try it more intimately with less people as they could have maybe just been overwhelmed. Other notes: Not overpriced. Parking wasn't exactly a breeze but I also didn't mind having to walk a bit. It's downtown so it was expected. Very busy, so maybe make a reservation or call ahead? There was outside seating. Bathrooms are not gender neutral. We visited on a Saturday. Happy eating !

I'm sad to say that this will be the last time my wife and I visit Indo Asian Street Eatery…read more We were regular customers for years and frequented this restaurant many times before the ownership change in 2025. Under the previous owners, the food, service, and overall experience were consistently excellent. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case. The first thing I noticed was the food safety rating posted on the window, which simply stated "Okay." That immediately raised concerns. The second thing we noticed was how empty the restaurant was on a Saturday. There were only three other couples dining during our visit. This place used to be packed, which was never a good sign to see. After being seated, service was noticeably slow. It took about 15 minutes just to receive our drinks. We ordered the Chicken Pad Thai, Korean Chicken, and Hot Wings. The Pad Thai was overly saucy and lacked the flavor we were accustomed to. The Hot Wings portion was surprisingly small, especially for the price. What ultimately ended our meal, however, was observing an employee eating in the open kitchen area while also handling items behind the counter. Watching this occur while customers' food was being prepared was extremely concerning. Whether intentional or not, it appeared to be a serious food safety issue, and it made us uncomfortable enough to stop eating immediately. At that point, we asked for the check and left disappointed and unsatisfied. It is unfortunate to see a once outstanding restaurant fall so far. The high standards of food quality, customer service, and food safety that made this place successful do not appear to have been maintained after the change in ownership. We won't be returning.

We stumbled upon NANA THAI STREET FOOD while driving through Tacoma, and it turned out to be an…read moreincredible find! The vibe inside is super cozy, and the staff treated us like family from the moment we walked in. ​The menu setup is super convenient--just scan the QR code at your table for the full digital menu, or check out the main board on the wall. Since it was our first visit, we went with two featured recommendations from the QR menu: Crispy Garlic Chicken and Panang Curry with Tofu. Both dishes come with a hearty side of rice! As self-proclaimed Crispy Garlic Chicken enthusiasts who order it at every Thai spot we visit, we were blown away. NANA's version is perfectly flavored and pairs so seamlessly with rice that we couldn't stop eating! The Panang Curry with tofu was equally divine--rich, fragrant, and pure comfort food. To top it all off, the Iced Peach Thai Tea was amazingly refreshing and a fantastic pairing for the meal. If you're anywhere near Tacoma, do yourself a favor and check this place out!

They weren't busy when I went, and definitely deserve more hype! Super-friendly service, and when I mentioned dinuguan, they were telling me where to find a Filipino restaurant. That's how you know an Asian restaurant cares about their food and culture... they will appreciate and even refer you to other good places!! Definitely check it out if you're in the area.

From the moment we walked in, no one was warm, no one even welcomed us, we had a reservation and still waited to be seated. The host was not friendly. Our waiter didn't even introduce themselves and it took us 30 minutes to get water after asking. Our drinks came out all at separate times, I had to remind him for my mom's prebiotic soda, which he served in the can, no glass and didn't open it. Our meals all came out at different times as well. Overall no one had a sense of urgency, no one seemed to prioritize a good dining experience, and it was so disappointing because again the food and ambience was there. Please set a standard for your staff and either provide additional training or find people who thrive in customer service.

We have been wanting to go here…read morefor a while but are seldomly in this neighborhood so it took a while to make it here but ultimately we were very happy that we did! For a long time I got Drunken Noodles whenever going to a Thai restaurant if I could but the last few times I have wanted something different than that. So on this outing I got the the House Ginger. This was a stir fry with your choice of protein (mine was chicken), ginger, stir fry sauce, garlic, onion, bell pepper, green onion and carrot. It also came with rice and the portion sizes were very satisfying and not too much. The flavor on my meal was so good, very fresh and bursting with flavor. Steve was equally impressed with his as he got the Drunken Noodles. Nothing is too fancy here. Decor is more basic but the place is clean and the food (at least mine) came out in containers but it was so good it didn't really matter. I think a lot if how it's presented is for the "to go" crowd of customers if I remember hearing that correctly from other people I chatted with about their meals here. Very good place with friendly service. Definitely worthy of all the stars!

The defining characteristic of Thai cuisine is its bold flavors. Due to the unique geographical…read morelocation and local ingredients of Southeast Asian countries, Thai food incorporates a generous amount of pungent seasonings such as basil, holy basil, mint, and more. Overall, Thai cuisine is a great choice. Environment: I arrived around 2:00 PM, and since it was past the lunch rush, there weren't many customers. The environment was very clean, with bright and spotless windows. Taste: I ordered the chicken with rice and added a portion of green curry beef. The chicken with rice was the restaurant's recommendation. It was impressive at first bite and quite enjoyable, but it became saltier as I ate toward the end. The portion of chicken was modest, so overall, it's still recommended. As for the green curry beef, it wasn't very rich, and the beef was scarce. I had expected chunks of beef, but what came out was sliced beef coated in starch. The texture wasn't great, so I wouldn't particularly recommend it. Service: The service was good. The staff came over to ask how the meal was, always serving with a smile.
