Nothing but love for Thai One On. My mom and I meet here for lunch.. the lunch menu is wide and incredibly inexpensive. You will get a full plate of tasty, spicy Thai for about $8-9, soup or rice included. I've tried most of it by now, the curries, the Pad Se Ew, Swimming Rama, the spicy noodle bowl and the Kao Soy. They make nice Thai iced coffees and Thai iced tea. I know I'll always leave happy and full read more

You could spend more on your dinner and get fancier fare, but for solid, dependable, and flavorful Thai food, this is one of my favorite spots. 5/5 I firmly believe their fresh rolls are the best in all of Seattle. What makes them special is the ratio of salad to vermicelli - it's chock full of greens. And they don't skip the mint. Plus... 5/5 Their peanut sauce is fantastic. It is not watered-down garbage. It is worth the cost if you order extra. The peanut sauce features in the Chicken Satay appetizer and Swimming Rama entrée, both delicious and good for people who don't prefer a lot of heat. 5/5 Lunch Specials! Affordable and yummy. My favorite dishes: Panang Curry, Pik Khing, & Basil. read more

Love this place!! Thai food is my favorite and I've been eating Thai all of my life. Been coming to this particular restaurant for over ten years. Jeeb is the sweetest waitress and kindest person. The Pad Thai is great but it's even better if you order the Panang curry and have that together with the Cashew Chicken. Definitely the best three dishes in my opinion. In addition depending on the weather and my mood sometimes I will bet it all on the Tom kah.. usually order all with chicken but if with some of the vegetarians the fried tofu is the way to go. Or just extra vegetables.. also a side of peanut sauce or red curry sauce is great too. Often we come here with 8-10 people and they are great at accommodating us with no reservation.. great people.. but it can get busy depending on the time and day but it's because this is one of the best places in town. Always bring new friends here not to mention I think everyone in our family knows this is where we are meeting for family dinner anytime it happens! When we come with bigger groups of people .. other dishes we order and are great are the yellow curry fried rice .. add pineapple.. as well as two orders of the cashew nut and pad Thai.. usually enough for 10 people.. During the week.. the tofu soup that comes with the lunch special is great ... especially with a little soy sauce and hot sauce (you must ask for both) .. Also to have a Cold Singha with everything makes it even better!! read more

* I give this place 3.5 stars * Fushion Thai? Traditional Thai? I wasn't impressed with their papaya salad and basil chicken. The papaya salad seemed like there were more carrots than the papaya. There wasn't much flavor to it. As for the basil chicken, we requested it to be made with the ground chicken but they ran out. I didn't think the basil chicken was tasty. HOWEVER, the phad see ew and pineapple curry was good. The phad see ew was very tasteful and mouth watering. The pineapple curry was creamy and thick! The curry was very good with the sticky rice. Oh, their Thai tea was good. It wasn't overly sweet. The ambience is very nice. There are street parking. The service can be a little slow. The people are nice. It's casual clothing. read more

Well I don't know what has changed but my peanut sauce was the chef scooping peanut butter, heating it up and putting it in a cup. My chicken satay was drier than dry. So disappointed. I stopped going before because of the peanut sauce and it got better...now we are back to just a heated up scoop of peanut butter. read more

Thai One On - Not peanut sauce just peanut butter. - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is more of a 3.5 star review I've come to Thai one on numerous times over the years and have concluded that it's fairly reliable. The phad thai is good, as well as the larb gai, and basically any noodle dish you get there. Portions are good and price is within normal range for thai around the area. However, some of the other dishes I've tried have been misses. Last time, I ordered an eggplant and beef dish, which lacked in flavor and the eggplant seemed undercooked while the beef was a bit tough. I've also tried their duck noodle soup which was tasty, but overly oily and salty. I think I'll be sticking to what I know is good (stir fried noodle dishes) next time instead of venturing out a bit. Overall, a good thai place if you order the right thing. Service is prompt and satisfactory and compared to some other places around the area, this one is one of the better ones. read more

The value is very good: for $8.99 menu price you get a gigantic plate of food. The taste is pretty mediocre though.

Tried this as a covid take-out alternative. The trouble with being a thai place in seattle - is that there are so many good ones. This place is good - but hard to say they're awesome (I've reserved that distinction for Thai Tom). Your fried rice could use a little more flavor, but everything else we tried (curries, phad kee mao) were pretty good. read more

My absolute favorite Thai takeout in Seattle -- I've tried Thai places in Ballard, Capitol Hill, UD, etc. but Thai One On is a class above the others. The pad Thai they serve is hands-down the best I've had -- I'd also recommend their Pad See Ew and Curries (particularly Red and Panang). read more

The food that I ordered home were not properly packed. When I got home the soup leaked on my car floor. And two items mixes up in the plastic bag. (To their wait staffs, if you don't care to give services please find a different job.) I used to work in a restaurant, my mom always told me that packing to-go items are as important as giving good services; you do want the food to not spilled and mixed up in the bag and not really edible!! And to Thai-One-On's customers, check your to-go items before you leave from the restaurant. -- Most recent visit for to-go -- The to-go items were not packed well and got mixed up and spilled in the bag and leaked in my car. read more

I'm sad that I will not come to this restaurant as per my last visit the service was an awful experience. Unfortunately, the server and the helper had and showed there preference of serving people and I was sad to see that from a place that I usually go to for Thai food specially since I was a have been going to this restaurant in previous years. read more

Thai One On - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

My fiancé and I went here tonight for the first time. I had a craving for red curry, and this more than satisfied me! So great to have a cute and delicious Thai place so close to home. I got the pineapple curry with chicken...soooo good! I highly recommend it! The only reason it's not 5 stars is my fiancé didn't understand the menu fully so he didn't order what he thought he did. The staff was really prompt too! read more

Thai One On - I loved the Pineapple curry! I never eat that fast! - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We keep giving Thai One On another chance. And I keep saying, "Never again." But tonight we were hungry for Thai, again. And once again, the food was disappointing. Overcooked and over salted, over fish sauced noodles, and flavorless soup. Thai Bistro isn't much better, and Door Dash doesn't deliver from 2C Thai. I think we'll have to travel further in our search for decent Phad See Ew. Oh, well. read more

My partner and I come here about once per week and have since we moved into the neighborhood about three years ago. We've both ordered a variety of dishes and appetizers from the menu and have always been completely satisfied. The staff have always been kind, friendly and accommodating, whether we are staying in to dine or ordering out and food is ready promptly. I was last her this past Friday and ordered the Pad Thai with chicken and a friend of mine ordered pineapple curry and both of us thought the food was delicious. I also ordered crab wontons, which is my favorite appetizer. I've tried several Thai restaurants in this neighborhood and Thai One On is by far my favorite. read more

Best spicy soup noodle. My favorite soup from any Thai places. I don't live close but it's worth the drive.

I'm so glad that the food is just as good as it was 4 years ago when I lived around Lake City! My best friend/old roomie & I decided to come here since we were shopping at Northgate Mall. We went a little before 6pm and it was busy. We ordered a curry chicken dish and chicken phad thai, both with 4 stars. The chicken phad thai wasn't that spicy to me but the curry dish had a little of a kick but no tummyache so yay! I hate getting old... It took awhile to get our food b/c it was so darn busy. They were filling phone orders, to-go orders and orders from seated customers. I was so hungry... we finally got our food (yay!) and it was soooo good. The flavor was perfect, not too bland (curry & phad thai) nor too greasy (phad thai). The servers made sure that our water cups were always full and made sure we had everything we needed. It got busier as time passed-tons of people were waiting for available tables around 7pm. All-in-all, a great dinner! read more

I've been here a lot in the past with much better food. Stopped in tonight for takeout after a long day at work. They didn't give me any rice for my curry, my spring rolls were burnt and the broccoli in my pad see ew was raw. read more

This lovely neighborhood Thai place is consistently good - I've been here for dinner (or ordered to go) on average about once a week for the past few months! Dishes I love: - Goy See Mee (I normally get 3-4* spicy but for this one I get 5*) - Snowpeas & seafood entrée - Prawns in the Blanket - Basil fried rice - Rice pudding Dishes that are good, but not my fave: - Phad Thai - Phad See Ew - Rad Nah - Crispy Crab Wontons I once ordered a stir-fry eggplant dish that I would not get again, but I haven't seen it on the menu since. The food is ready quickly, and even 4-5 entrees + appetizers to-go can be ready in 15 minutes (SWEET). The dine-in service is excellent and the restaurant seems quite clean. The curries are o-k. I definitely think the stir-fry dishes here are better options. Perhaps Thai One On isn't the bestest Thai food I've ever had in my life, but I couldn't have asked for a better restaurant on LCW. read more

I used to go here frequently whether solo, groups, or for take out. I was kindly invited to lunch by a college friend and had the opportunity to revisit this Lake City neighborhood restaurant yesterday 11/4/13. Lunch selections ($7.99) are generous and served piping hot to your table. I love that the Phad Thai doesn't arrive congealed and strangely ketchup red. The preceding cup of soup was like an egg drop with a peppery kick. Service was spare, but understood since it was just one person covering waiting tables, dealing with takeout, and covering bussing too. While it's not on par with Pestle Rock in Ballard, May in Wallingford, or Little Uncle in Capitol Hill and Pioneer Square - it is has been going strong after all these years. read more

Hmm. I wrote a decent review for this place a while back, but now that I've recently had their Pad Thai again, I'm downgrading a star. I ordered a 5-star chicken pad thai and fresh rolls to-go, and the entire meal was pretty miserable. Every single part of that meal was bland. I have to say I had never had a bland peanut sauce until I tried Thai One On's. Fresh rolls were not great, which is astounding since it's so hard to screw those up. Oh, and the 5-star chicken pad thai? Not spicy, not tamarind-y, not a whole lot of any flavor whatsoever. Yikes. I haven't had their other dishes yet so I guess if I'm really desperate for Thai food and not in the drive very far I'll come back here, but Pad Thai is definitely not their specialty. read more

Edit: I have gotten take out a few more times from here and my pad see ew has gotten increasingly more dry. Enjoying it less everytime I go and I'm a little sad. Seems to be much better for dine in than take out. read more

LOVE this place! I'm Eastern Washington and every time I come to visit my sister in Seattle I always want to come to this place! It's the first place I ever I went to that I tried Thai and love it! I Love the food, love the atmosphere, and love the area! Would definitely recommend this place if you love Thai! Enjoy! read more

I only had one thing on the menu, and it was the Tom Ka soup. I was sick with a head cold and my favorite place to get it, Thai Bistro, does not deliver or belong to DoorDash, so I was kinda stuck. Thai one on was highly rated and with nothing else to go on, what is a gal suppose to do? So I am of course comparing to my favorite place, but it was not worthy. It was pretty flavorless and the chicken was dry. It promises lemongrass, mushrooms, lime leaves, cilantro and galangal. I saw mushrooms, dry chicken, and I believe big chunks of lemongrass. Are you supposed to have to pick these out, because I spent a lot of time doing that. They certainly are not edible as they had the texture of wood chips. I wasn't offered a level of spice either, so it did not have any kick. Based on my soup, which should be pretty easy IMHO to get right, I would not recommend Thai One On. Or at least, not the Tom Ka soup. read more

DISGUSTING!!! Ordered through door dash. Chicken Satay was beyond raw, not just pink. RAW. So gross. Also ordered Pad See Ew - beef and after calling they confirmed it was beef even though the meat is white in color. Fried rice was ok but had a big mass of connected meat. Which we had to throw out. Spring rolls were delivered cold even though we live approx 5 miles from the restaurant. Overall the food we picked at was completely devoid of flavor. Fortunately DoorDash provided a full refund. Do not eat here!! read more

I got an order to go, and I couldn't decide what I wanted, so I got two things, yellow curry with tofu and pad sea ew with tofu. The pad sea ew had a good flavor, although it was a bit sweet. I liked that they had a choice between soft or fried tofu. Unfortunately their yellow curry was not what I was hankering for. It was thicker than typical curry and wasn't as yellow as other places. It didn't have any potatoes or mushrooms or carrots like other places either. Instead, it was a whole lot of celery and a few pieces of bell peppers... Both of which I am not a fan of. Both dishes did have a generous amount of tofu. I went around 1 o'clock and there were only three groups in the restaurant. read more

Yummy food, the pad see ew was fantastic. we got garlic rice as well, super tasty. Highly recommend.

Good and memorable enough to order again if ever in the area once more. Needs to lay off the sugar though. A few Thai places add too much sugar to their curry sauce. Don't like that. read more

HUGE servings, fun ambience with lots of decorations, even a full bar with seating and a TV. Food was delicious and staff couldn't have been nicer. The prices were great for the amount of food you got. read more

Vegans and lactose intolerant beware! I was a long-time customer of Thai One On. I will no longer eat there because they substituted cows milk for coconut milk in my dish without telling me. So, here's the story. I have been going to Thai One On forever....maybe a decade. Over the past year it seems like the quality of the food is decreasing. And people are not as friendly. Last week I had an awful experience that I almost didn't share here, but feel I should for the health of the neighborhood. Just for some background, I am lactose intolerant, so don't drink cows milk. I have a reliable unpleasant response to cows milk that I do my best to avoid. I love Thai curries and soups because they give me the creaminess without the stomach upset. I eat them about once a week. Last week we went to Thai One On, our trusted spot. The folks didn't seem friendly, there were new staff, and the place was empty. It used to be hopping. That was strange. I ordered a traditional curry soup that is supposed to be made with coconut milk according to their menu. I have had it many times at Thai One On over the years. As I was eating the soup, it tasted different than usual, kind of like cows milk. I thought it was just me or maybe the spice. Bad move! Note to self: trust your pallet. I should have stopped right there, but I thought my decade-long trusted Thai place would never substitute cows milk for coconut as listed on their menu. That would be a violation of the tenants of Thai cooking and a breach of customer trust. When I got home, sure enough the painful and distinctive signs of lactose intolerance kicked in. That's a nearly scientific measure for me that I drank cow's milk. I was pissed at Thai One On for doing that to people, but also for not trusting my pallet. Double whammy! It pains me to say, as I am a long time customer, but I won't be back. I am grateful to Thai One On for the decade of good food. Also because they helped me learn to trust myself - the painful way. But it does make me wonder: what is going on with Thai One On? read more

Previously, I had rated this restaurant with 5 stars; however, my most recent experience with them has made me adjust my review. Especially, since they've raised their prices and the delivery minimum... :( I ordered the Pad Kee Mao, Green Curry, and steamed rice- pretty much my go-to. I ordered everything with mild or no spice, this time, as I was planning on sharing with my 1 year-Old. Not only was the curry spicier than usual, but they definitely brought me sticky rice instead of the steamed rice. Oh, and I'm pretty sure their was beef in my curry instead of the chicken I requested... The Pad Kee Mao was delicious as usual, and the only part of the order that was correct. I'll probably give them another chance; however, if they mess things up this bad again....it's not like they're the only fish in the sea. read more

So you thought I and my early review was enough? Of course I didn't stop at eating sushi. The night was young and we decided to check out this place. More drinks please! That's what happened AND....out of curiosity? We wondered about their papaya salad and their Phad Thai. Of course we ordered! Yummy! However, my darling friend didn't think the same. Wah wah wah... On a good note? The service was great! Great group of people at the bar. It's a nice place. It was a nice experience. At this point? I was checking out my phone and wondered if Uber is in the future AND...the saga continues! read more

Ordered shrimp fried rice and crispy garlic chicken to go and decided to dine in. The food was gross. The crispy garlic chicken is hard and chewy, somewhat stringy. I asked the worker if it was fresh and he replied that they deep fry "white meat" only and it just comes out that way. The meal was $26 dollars and not worth it at all! I strongly recommend going somewhere else... even the Panda Express down the street is better. To be honest, I love Thai food and I have my standards but this place needs to provide fresh food. I know the good we were served is at least one day old. read more

Excellent quality, great quantities, and wonderful service. Thank you! We'll be back soon.

This used to be one of my favorite Thai places. Not anymore. Ordered two dishes. The pud kee mao was a tasteless reheated mess. I ordered it 2 stars and it came with no stars. flung on the table. The Broccoli delight was equally bland. Usually a vibrant restaurant had no one in the place at 6:30 PM on a Wednesday night. Now I know why. read more

Love this place so much and so glad it's made it through COVID. I think the food is much tastier than 2CThai next door and the service is always so nice and timely read more

Great place. We often order takeout and they always prepare our order fast! Everything always tastes good and the portions are big enough that we have leftovers. Sometimes the food can be a bit oily. read more

A girl can only eat Mexican or steak sammiches so much! Instead of a typical dinner at the Mexican place next door or the restaurant with the awesome HH I thought we'd try some thai. Had dinner here just the other night with my man who, by the way, was pretty reluctant to go here... he even called our neighbor to ask him what he thought of it and to make sure he thought it was good!!! SHEESH... Arrived a little after 6. Service was great and we sat down right away. We both had a pint of Sapporo (so good!!). I got the chicken rad nah 1 star, he got the garlic beef dish 1 star (I'm a wuss so he ordered 1 star and then asked for hot sauce so we could share). Food was great! Beer was great! Watching my guy drown his food in soy sauce after putting WAY TOO MUCH hot sauce on it was great! He downed his beer, his water, AND my water... lol Free delivery after 5pm with a minimum purchase Lunch specials everyday from open til 3 except holidays It's convenient and my food was tasty. Will be back soon. read more

Outrageously bad name for an only so-so place. I mean people, come on, if you're going to name yourself after a binge, at least serve some super fine cocktails and offer them up with delish bar food. The cocktails are half-hearted. The bar is an afterthought. Where are the fricken chairs? You gotta go hunt for them. And FYI, sitting next to the pile of highchairs doesn't usually put most gals I know in a drinkin' mood. The appetizers are not appetizing, if they come at all. Can I get a side of spring rolls with my puddle of grease? There is one important thing that recommends this place: its proximity to my daughter's gym. This is where the booster club officers all go to Thai One On. read more

Definitely Thai One On when you're in a hurry! My friend and I stopped in after grueling workout and were completely famished. Service was great - we sat down right away and the waitress brought water before we could even blink. We both already knew what we wanted - cashew chicken, fried tofu/beef panang curry and some veggie wraps. Again, we blinked and the food was out. Super fast and attentive service. The wraps were great. The panang curry was good, but the tofu was a little rubbery - I've had better tofu. However the cashew chicken was quite nice -I would definitely recommend! The portions were a lot larger than I expected and we had leftovers! Great spot for a quick bite to eat... there are tons of things to choose from. I also have to admit - the soups looked fantastic - esp. the spicy noodles soups with wontons & rice noodles. I'm actually regretting not ordering the soup! Next time right? :) p.s. I noticed a bar/lounge area in the back... although it wasn't packed on a monday, it seems like it could be a happening little spot on the weekend..hmmm read more
