Pad See Ew
Brandy I.

The food was really yummy. Everything had so much flavor and the portions were big. The service was okay. They take your order and bring your food. They really check on you. Water didn't get refilled till we were leaving. It has some spacious seating. They also have booths. Overall I would come here again. They food is yummy

Been here 3 times now, each time I've got something different, and I've never been disappointed. The staff are kind, the food is delicious, and the vibes are cozy. What's not to love?

Roti and Mussaman

Walk into beautiful Thailand with the amazing grand pergola at the entrance and beautiful decor - it's warm and inviting - Thai comfort food - we always order like we haven't eaten in a week - we ordered too much good food - serving sizes are bigger but leftovers are always better the next day. Our servers are always so sweet, got seated quickly and they're always so kind.

Rama noodles w/peanut sauce...where's the sauce?!?!
Tori L.

Last week we ordered over $120 of food & they forgot one of my rice. Today, they forgot 2 rice but thankfully I checked before leaving so I got 2 rice. I wanted to try something new so I ordered Rama noodles w/peanut sauce but this is what I got. Plain Rama noodles w/tofu, broccoli and little spices for $17! Who would eat this? So disappointed! I'll stick to our normal entrees. Always double check your order before leaving.

Lychee Cocktail
Helene B.

The food here was awesome - two of my highlights were the Tom Yum soup and the pot stickers (DOUSE THEM IN THE SAUCE). For my 21+ people the lychee cocktail was SO GOOD; two of my friends and I got them and enjoyed them. We had a big party and were able to get a table easily on a Monday afternoon. The waitress was also super friendly and even offered to take our picture, as we were celebrating a friend's birthday! I saw some people dining alone so I'll bet this would be a great spot for a lunch break if you work in Federal Way, too!

Pad Thai with Chicken
Kekoa T.

The inside decor was really nice and the service was friendly. Although, one of the servers didn't know what the tea soda on the menu was which scared us off from ordering it. The Kao Soy was delicious along with the Pad Thai (huge portion). The chive pancake was a no go for me. Didn't like it at all. Also the first time trying a Thai tea with coconut milk - I was pleasantly surprised!

Large portions

We were here in Tacoma visiting daughter. She took us here become she loves the food. She is gluten intolerant & lactose intolerant, but finds this place to be wonderful. Hasn't had any food problems since coming here a year ago. Customer service was great & restaurant was very clean. Love the atmosphere. Great selection in food & good portions. Vegan items are available. All three of us had enough for a dinner meal. Wife's input was I quote "I loved the quality & taste" Rice was fluffy with perfect texture. All vegetables were cooked to perfection. All staff were practicing Covid safety & mask are required unless seated at table

Five Stars From This Review Lady!…read more If you're looking for a wonderful Thai food restaurant, you have to try this place! We have been coming here for many years, and I honestly couldn't ask for a better Thai restaurant. They also have another location that is one of my daughter's favorite places to eat. She absolutely loves their Pad Thai! Personally, I love getting the vegetables with their rice, and their fresh peanut sauce with the spring rolls is absolutely delicious. You can really tell that they put care into their food. The portions are HUGE, and everything is worth every penny. You definitely won't leave hungry! The restaurant is always clean, peaceful, and calm, and the employees are some of the nicest people. They are always friendly and make sure your drinks are filled. Great service can make such a difference, and they really do a wonderful job. They also have great parking, which is always a bonus! If you haven't tried this Thai restaurant yet, give it a try -- I think you'll love it! You got FIVE STARS from that review lady on yelp

We were in a rush and asked for to go boxes with our order and the server did just that. She was very sweet and attentive. The ambiance was intimate and beautiful with floral decor all around. I will come back when I come back in town. The spice level on my Pad Thai was a 5. I love spice and have a pretty good spice tolerance, it had a kick but I like a punch.

Have had this place on my list for a while! Got here about 1-1.5 hours before closing on a friday…read moreand there was plenty of seating (about 3-4 tables inside). Service was very friendly and attentive. Ordered the combo plate and skewers to split with 3 people and there was enough food. The skewers were def my fav with such a good flavor and very soft. The pickled cabbage was a nice balance. The combo plate was yummy as well to try all the different meats. There was a stuffed chicken and a coconut chicken and both were very juicy and flavorful If I'm ever down in fed way I would def come back.

Theary Cambodian Foods is a small family-owned Cambodian restaurant in Federal Way. The storefront…read moreis located across the street from The Commons Mall. It's also located in a plaza with other businesses with a shared parking lot. The restaurant itself is pretty small. At most, you can probably seat a total of 14 people. I would not recommend coming with a large group of people. Keep it four people at max or take your order to go. Not sure if this is typical practice for this restaurant, but we ordered and paid for our food first at the register before claiming a table. I mention this because there was only one person working. He was cleaning the tables, taking orders at the register, cooking, fulfilling to go and dine in orders, and bringing the food out for the dine in people. He was very apologetic with the delay on the food, but all the customers, including us, did not mind waiting and understood the circumstances. My boyfriend ordered the Combination Plate, which consists one of the boneless stuffed jumbo wing, one of the coconut quarter chicken, two of the kroeung meatballs, and steamed banana leaf sticky rice topped with chopped fresh herbs, fried garlic and a side of pickled vegetables. I ordered the beef skewers with rice, vegetables pickle and spicy sauce. My sister ordered the beef with tirk prohouk (Khmer spicy fermented fish dipping sauce) served with toast crispy rice and topped with fried garlic, fresh herbs and vegetables. The food was amazing! It was definitely made with love and care. We would definitely recommend coming if you have never had Cambodian food before!

The space is very cozy and reflects with the amount of parking options. I grabbed the food to go but live nearby and the food maintained its freshness along with its crispiness. I ordered The Combo Hainanese Chicken Rice which contained both the Steamed and Fried Chicken. Both chickens were cut nicely and I liked that the fried chicken was not overly breaded to maintain the balance. The rice tasted as expected with the slight hits of umami. The dipping sauce was nice and I left no leftovers. The broth was extremely bland and felt watered down and had a strange taste to it. Overall, would come back again when craving this dish but may stick to ordering to go due to the limited parking.

Some of the best Thai food in the area, hands down! It is located attached to a small grungy motel…read morealong a busy main road, so at first I was a little concerned, but the restaurant itself is clean and bright and the owner is very kind and helpful. We tried the Hainanese chicken, crispy garlic chicken, pad see ew, stewed pork leg with rice, and key lime iced. Everything was super flavorful, excellent texture which held up even though we took it to-go. 3/5 star felt appropriately medium spicy. Will definitely be back to try more!

I love Ramen, so I did some research on TikTok and on Yelp and I came across this place. We went on…read morea Saturday night about 5:30 PM. We ordered the Tonkotsu Miso Ramen, Spicy Negi Ramen (level 4 hot), an order of Gyoza, and an appetizer order of Karaage Chicken. Both of our Ramen bowls were absolutely delicious!! I'm used to eating very authentic Ramen when I lived in San Diego so this was a first for being in this area. It was a great portion size, beautiful presentation and everything tasted so good. I think the egg could've been cooked a little bit less so it would be not so well done so to speak, but it was delicious still. Also, the chicken appetizer was a good, but not as flavorful as some Karaage Chicken I have had. I probably wouldn't order that one again even though it was good, just lacked flavor and was a bit grisly. The service was outstanding. They are very kind and very attentive. The place is very clean. The bathrooms are nicely stocked and very clean as well. The lobby is beautiful and we will definitely be back!

I visited here a few months ago in April and the best part about this restaurant is probably the…read morecustomer service? The ramen tasted great but not impressive or memorable enough for me to drive all the way back to Federal Way. I dined in solo and actually didn't finish the ramen or even remember exactly what I ordered. I'm guessing it's the spicy negi. The broth was spicy and enjoyable but definitely didn't taste any different compared to other ramen places I've been to. I tend to eat slow to savor my food, but I felt like the staff was overattentive and frequently stopped by my table to ask if everything was okay. Gave me the vibe that they needed to keep themselves busy or I was taking up a table. Might be great for other customers but it affected my experience with dining in; I usually finish my meals at restaurants but I felt rushed so I just ended up bringing the ramen home for my son, after the second or third time of them asking me if I wanted a takeout box. I'm still giving 4 stars just because the ramen tasted better than mediocre, less than spectacular. I just have high expectations for ramen and prefer more broth/topping variety (I was raised in Cali with options i dearly miss). Plus, I do like that they added a full egg for the ramen (instead of half an egg, like other restaurants I've been to) and the chasu portions were fair. I haven't tried any other ramen places in Federal Way (if there are any), but I guess if this is one of the better options (according to Yelp), it might be worth a shot to try out?
