    Volcano Macadamia Beef - lots of Mac nuts and beef
    Frank D.

    Excellent Thai food, well flavored and medium spice was about right for us. The two dishes we ordered came with a generous bowl of brown rice. We managed to eat it all but we should have taken half of each dish home. Each one was enough for 2. the Fresh rolls were great, made to order with a tasty sauce. Service was prompt and efficient. The only reason I did not rate them a 5 was because the restaurant is somewhat cold, cavernous and sterile. Ambiance is not their strength so it may not be the place for a romantic date but the quality of the food more than makes up for it.

    Pineapple fried rice and yellow curry noodles both veganised

    Pretty decent Thai food spot. I liked pretty much everything I tried. We asked for everything to be veganised and they were able to accommodate. The Tom kha soup was tasty but smelled a bit like fish sauce so we're were bit unsure about that but the rest was fine. I cannot say it was excellent but good enough. Ambience is beautiful next to the Tacoma harbor. Would recommend

    This is my favorite restaurant in Tacoma. Whenever I'm in town, I'm eating here! Not pictured is the Tamarind Prawns as my friends as I gobbled them up fast. They were amazing. Everything was good: we shared pot stickers, spring rolls, beef sizzling plate, assam organic tea, and the aforementioned, life-changing Tamarind Prawns. My first time having those and they are now my new favorite. Coconut ice cream for dessert was a nice finish. Service was great. But I will pine for those prawns...

    Great service, really tasty food, very fair prices, and a nice aesthetic as well! Went here with my family and tried a whole bunch of different items and they were all phenomenal with large portions.

    Served with brown or white rice

    I decided to splurge! Craving good seafood and spoke to the wonderful staff. They suggested this dish that did not disappoint! Normally it comes with broccoli and carrots in a delicious sauce, but for me, just carrots due to surgeries and digestive issues. Very accommodating! WOW, the dish was amazing and I will be back Thank you True Thai

    Spring Rolls Pad Thai
    Tracy s.

    Came in for a quick work lunch and although the place was pretty full, we were seated right away. Service was quick and no-nonsense. We ordered off the lunch menu and our meals were brought out piping hot and fresh. Soup was good, pad Thai was delicious, and vegetables and spring rolls were straight from the garden. Can't wait to come back again!

    My favorite Thai restaurant in Tacoma. I love being recognized as a repeat customer when we walk in the door. I love that they play authentic Thai music - and have art on the walls that remind me of Thailand water markets. My favorites are pad see ew, larb gai, sticky rice, panang curry, miang khum (appetizer), and tom kha gai soup. Mmmmm. They also have a full bar and the sweetest employees. Love their food so much!

    (Takeout Review) The website is easy to use to order online! The pick up process was also very easy'! Food was packed very well! Portions are a great size and all the items we ordered were flavorful. Will eat again and try to dine in next time!

    I've eaten here a handful of times now and it's always been good! The service has always been friendly, and the prices aren't terrible. The layout of the restaurant is a little odd and there isn't much seating for a downtown place, so if you're going on a weekend night, you may have a bit of a wait. But they do have a few bar seats. Their food has always been great, and like most places the spice levels depend on who's cooking - though they have often been heavier handed with the spice (which I personally like). Be aware, the parking in this part of town is terrible, we typically drive around the block 3-4 times before finding a spot if it's a weekend!

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.

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.
