It's been awhile since we came back to visit the old neighborhood. We try to visit a couple times a year because the food is so good! Today we had the butterfly fried shrimp, Panang curry, 2 stars with vegetables, and Thai red rice. Service is always great! Never a problem. The place hasn't changed in all the years we've been coming here. Decor is exactly the same. We were hoping to see Sam the owner. Maybe next time. Still our favorite Thai restaurant! read more

I stopped by this spot for some quick takeout, and it definitely delivered on speed and convenience. This is your traditional takeout kind of place... Nothing fancy, but reliable if you're craving something quick and easy. My order was ready in under 15 minutes, which I really appreciated. I tried the Pad Thai with chicken and was happy with both the flavor and the portion size. It was generous enough that I felt like I got my money's worth. The food overall was solid, though I will say the service could have been a bit friendlier. I'm from out of town, but if I get the craving again before I head back home, I'd order from here again. Quick, filling, and easy... Exactly what you want from a takeout spot. read more

If you want delicious Thai food, I would highly recommend Thai Recipe Restaurant! I have dined there and have ordered takeout! It's a cute quaint restaurant that's quite comfortable. They have many yummy dishes to choose from. I personally love their spring rolls, Thai noodles dishes, and their Thai iced tea! Everything is absolutely delicious! If you order takeout, the food is yummy and convenient! If you want delicious Thai food that is reasonably priced I recommend this restaurant! You will not be disappointed! read more

There's not many thai places in Seattle where you can get your meal for $20 or less anymore (while still being good thai food). We paid $20 (tax and tip included) here and the pad see ewe was really good! Some places skimp on the sauce but this place certainly did not. However I will say their spice level is maybe inconsistent? We got 2* for both our dishes and one was not spicy at all. Not sure if it was a one-off or what. read more

This is my favorite thai restaurant in the area! I love all their dishes since they're authentically Thai. Their Thai iced tea is also delicious. The atmosphere is very comfy and homely. Service is always fast and friendly! read more

They're rude and discriminatory. I'm black. I came in, by myself, to eat, after work. I was wearing work clothes, but was generally clean and presentable. Cook/Cashier asked me "here or to go". I said "here." He looked at me, blatantly ignored me, and then screamed "to go" to the kitchen. The food's overpriced, even by Seattle standards. They conceal the fact that you have to pay for rice separately. $17 just for the tiny entree, plus $5for RICE! $5 for a can of mango juice that's less than 1/2 a cup. Waste of time and money. read more

Food is always 10/10! I typically do the lunch specials and they're always fresh and prompt with my order.

Flavorful. Authentic. Speedy. Don't judge a book by its cover. From the outside it looks unimpressive, you'd totally miss it if you weren't looking but it's a hidden gem. We were seated right away and our food was ready in less than ten minutes. We got a complimentary Thai tea which was cold and delicious. They had a decent menu to choose from, the staff make good recommendations. Chicken Pad Thai is the way to go! We got ** spicy and it was easy on the palate. If you like spicy go higher! Super friendly staff, comfy booths. Had to park across the street but it was worth fighting traffic to get to the authentic and tasty food! read more

Cute spot, cozy lil seating area and super sweet server. Promptly ordered and the food came out quickly after that, spiced perfectly and the flavor of each dish was on point. Will def be back soon :) read more

I remember coming here before the pandemic and the food was tasting better. I came back to try the lunch combo and was left feeling disappointed. The meal looked more appetizing than it actually was. The flavor was just lacking. The Pad Thai came out sort of mushy and I could taste a lot of ketchup in the sauce. The curry didn't taste like anything special. Maybe it was too diluted with coconut milk. They are open for dine-in but we were automatically charged 20% for tip. Not sure if that is an new policy but they didn't even notify us. Maybe I came on an off day but I'm hoping I will have a better experience next time since this is one of the only Thai restaurants on Rainier. read more

I got the green curry here for takeout and I was able to order in the restaurant and wait for it to carry out. It took probably 10 or so minutes so it was a quick turnaround. The green curry was a large portion and I added chicken to it. It had large chunks of potato as well as onion. It was very tasty and I asked for medium spice which was perfect! I'll definitely keep this restaurant in the rotation for tasty Thai food! Looking forward to trying the noodles next time. read more

This place is amazing. The Pad See Ew is the best in the city by far. Very fast service, as well.

One of my favorite thai restaurants in Seattle. They are fast and the food is great. We ordered pad thai with beef, crispy chicken, spring rolls, chicken fried rice, and crab wontons. Everything was great but I would definitely pass on the crab wontons because they didn't have much flavor but everything else was great. The pad thai was my favorite. read more

Oof this is.... Not good. I've lived next to this resturant for about six months now and decided to finally try it. I went later at night, around 6 or 7 on a weekday. The inside is dated but clean, and while the atmosphere didn't exactly invoke quality, it always quaint. It felt like a longstanding family resturant that's slipped over the years, with some things like water stains and scratches and mars turning into a blind spot for the owners who've seen them for so long. The menus were old, but clean, and everything just had an air of "well used". We decided to order an order of potstickers, a wide noodle vegetable and chicken dish, and an order of Pad Thai. The potstickers came out first, very quickly, but unfortunately they were still frozen on the inside. I'm pretty sure they were the ones from Us Foods Chef Store down the street because... well I'm pretty sure I have the same ones in my freezer at home. We sent them back, and about ten minutes later our meals came out. Both dishes were large portions and modestly plated. My husband said the Pad Thai was okay which as someone who is deeply uncritical of food means that it was probably mediocre at best. My dish, the wide noodle dish I can't recall the name of, was very, very bad. The noodles were very overcooked and mostly formed a giant pile of goop, as overcooked rice noodles are prone to do. The sauce was okay, but nothing to write home about. The chicken was actually quite nice and very tender and juicy, not overcooked or stringy at all. This was the part I actually ate. The potstickers came out near the end of our meal, and this time they were cooked. Very cooked, having worked in kitchens with grumpy line cooks before, I might even say, vengefully cooked. The outsides of the potstickers were extremely dark and borderline burnt on the edges. Beyond the underwhelming food, the service was also subpar. I saw our waitress twice, once to take our drinks and once to give us the bill. Another person delivered our food, and we had to stare someone down to return the potstickers because it was evident that a check-in wasn't happening. So... yeah. This place isn't on my list to return to anytime soon. It wasn't a *horrible* experience that I would never ever go back to, but it wasn't something I want to repeat anytime soon either. With no shortage of restaurants in the area, I doubt I'll be coming back here - but never say never? read more

TRASHHHHHH. yall neeed to do better !!!!! Food was dry. lady had an attitude on the phone. This is not acceptable!

One of the best Thai fried rice that I've had so far. Go for max spice if you want, it's not really that spice. Place is pretty small, but did not see a whole bunch of people, probably because it's in a non peak area of Seattle. read more

I really want to give this place 0 stars but I can't. The service here is terrible. Do not come in if you can help it. Staff at the counter are not helpful. No one serves you even when there's no one in the restaurant. The restaurant hasn't been renovated since 1987. Don't expect small talk or someone to chat with you about your day. Don't expect to pay reasonable prices. Why 5 stars then? They nailed the flavor and serve delicious Thai food. I love the tofu and vegetarian dishes they have here. They ladna noodles are delicious. The tom yum soup will make your mouth sing with flavor. The food is so good and it's the only show in this part of town. I wish there were another Thai place nearby but I haven't found one yet and even if I did, I doubt they'll get the taste right. I'm willing to put up with crappy service and pay $20 a dish for this food. I'd say the compromise would be get the food to go like everyone else does! read more

Comparable to Thai food in Los Angeles. Service was friendly. We dined in...they add a 15% gratuity. They do a lot of take out. No pictures because we all started eating immediately. They rate the heat from 1 - 4 stars. We all chose 2. Perfectly spicy. Pad Thai with chicken, Thai Chicken, Fried rice with Crispy tofu, Larbi, Yello curry tofu...all wonderful. Enough for Leftovers. Definitely a good choice. read more

This place was great! My wife had the Pad Thai w/ Fried Prawns, and the prawns were cooked perfectly - crisp and not greasy - and served with a sweet and spicy chili sauce. The Pad Thai was wonderful as well. I had a beef Panang curry. The meat and bell peppers were good, but the star was the curry itself - soak it into some rice and it's little spicy bites of heaven. The only thing I wish was that I'd gotten my curry a bit hotter. Will definitely ask for that next visit. Portions were quite large for the price - both my wife and I got two full meals (if I just cook some more rice at home, no biggie). read more

Horrible service. I have eaten here several times and been very satisfied with my food but ordered late last night and got overcooked noodles, extremely oily peanut sauce. When I called to let them know the phone was given to three people one of whom said I would be refunded, or I could get a food credit. Then the owner came on the phone and said I would not get credit and would need to return the food. When I tried to explain that the food was from the night before and had been shared with other people she began to talk over me and was very rude. Not a thoughtful way to treat a loyal customer. I won't be back. read more

We were recommended this spot by a colleague so we thought we'd give it a try. We ordered the pad see ew, crispy chicken, and fried tofu appetizer. All the dishes were just OK. The pad see ew was a little too soy saucey for my liking - it wasn't a matter of too much salt but more so the soy sauce flavor came through a bit too much for me. The crispy chicken had good flavor but the chicken itself needed more of a crunch. Lastly, the fried tofu was just that...nothing crazy. I did notice the sauce they serve alongside the tofu was basically watered down sweet and sour sauce you could get from a bottle. I will highlight that the service was spot on! We were seated quickly and had our waters filled several times. At prime Friday night dinner time, the restaurant was pretty full with lots of people coming in and out to pick up their to go order. Overall, I think we'll stick to our favorites for Thai food. However, I'm glad I gave this restaurant a try read more

I love the food here. It is really affordably priced and it has big portions as well. Tastes amazingly fresh. Food tends to run a little on the spicy side. I left my phone in here once and they returned it and refused a tip for returning it. These people are really nice. Favorites include thai ice tea, pad see ewe and chicken/pork pad thai. I also love their vegetable soup they sometimes serve as an appetizer but isn't on the menu. read more

We got take out from here and the Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, and Drunken Noodle were all PERFECT ! Noodles were cooked just right , moist, well flavored and dangerously addictive. Chicken and Tofu were both good. The Green Curry had a good amount of Eggplant which I love. read more

I've noticed dichotomy in the Thai restaurant options of Seattle. Either you're paying way too much for small portions of ok-ish food, or you spend not-so-much on large portions that satisfy your need for Wednesday pad khee mao when it's dumping rain and you don't want to cook. For $12 an entree that overflows on your plate, sometimes I'll jump on board for 'value' and have leftovers for a week. Hey, every restaurant serves a function... read more

Really great Thai good, I've come here many times and am never disappointed. Both the noodle dishes and curry dishes are cooked well, with fresh ingredients. I wish the take out sizes for the curries were consistently the larger size. Sometimes I get a full height (~24oz) container and the other times I get a half height (~12oz) container. The larger size is the standard size take out container so it's been disappointing to get the small size on occasion, although the food is just as delicious. read more

I love the food, great flavor! Spice level 4 wasn't that spicy and I would know because I cannot handle spiciness lol, nonetheless it was still great! They also have extra spice you can add to your dish, so if you love spicy then that's an option! The service was nice and quick, and it's a nice intimate place to go on a date or go with friends. I ordered the pad thai and it was bomb. The portions are pretty large so you will probably be able to bring leftovers. I also tried some of the pad see ew and it was also really good! I recommend both dishes for sure! I definitely want to go back and try some of their other dishes. When leaving, they also give you complimentary mints so that's cool. The bathroom aesthetic is nice too lol. read more

Visiting from CA and found this Thai place on Yelp. Called in our order since they were 30 minutes from closing time. The person who answered the phone was very abrupt and impatient about my unfamiliarity of their menu. I grew up with Thai friends around Thai food so I'm no rookie. Anyway, we arrived 15 minutes later and the food was ready. All good. Fast forward the next day. We are renting an AirB&B place nearby so it was convenient to order from them. They were 45 minutes from closing so I tried calling several times but no answer. I decided to walk down the hill to order in person. They were 35 minutes from closing at this time. From the get go, the person at the counter was not happy to take. Regardless, I politely ordered pad see ew; which is traditionally sweet, same dish i ordered the day before. She asked me how spicy? Knowing that this tends to be a sweet dish, I repeated my order. She rudely said "i know! Removing her mask and starts fanning her face repeatedly saying, how spicy...spicy... spicy? THESE RESTAURANT IS RUDE AND DOES NOT APPRECIATE BUSINESS THAT IS BEING GIVEN TO THEM. SHAME ON YOU! read more

Love this little spot, we've stopped here on our way to Seward Park a few times. The curries are great, the pad see ew is delicious, and so is the pad Thai. My favorite dish is the "Special Noodles" which is a peanut sauce and wide noodle dish. I also really appreciate they actually add spice to the food when you ask for it. The service is also really great! read more

Our go to Thai spot. Panang. Phad Thai. Larb. Tom yum. Pad see ew. Chicken satay. Mango sticky rice. So many good things here.

This place is kinda tucked behind O'Reilly's in the corner. Average price for Thai food. The server is pretty funny and was cracking jokes with us when we were ordering. Nice vibes. We got our usual order - pad kee mao, a curry (opted for Panang), and crab wontons as appetizers. The portion size was HUGE. They are superrr generous on the pad kee mao. I had plenty left over for lunch the next day. The food came out pretty quick. They accidentally gave us pad see yew instead of pad kee mao but that was quickly switched. We got 2 stars (out of 4) on both and it was a little too spicy for me but still bearable. Crab wontons were nice and meaty. Pad kee mao's texture is a little different than what I've had. The noodles were cut much smaller, making the whole dish a little mooshier (because of all the sauce absorption). The color was quite dark so I was afraid it would be very saucy and salty, but it had a nice flavor. The curry had nice flavors and was pretty standard. We also got Thai iced tea and it was perfect. I would definitely come back! Lots of dishes to try that's different from your standard Thai restaurant, too. Nice service. I'd be happy to give them my business! read more

My favorite Thai in Seattle right now, and I've been a customer since 2017. I've only ever had takeout, so I don't mind that their interior space is limited and somewhat oddly decorated. The portions are big, the prices are cheap, and the quality is high. I've liked everything I've had over the years. Phad kee mao, yellow curry rice, red curry, phad thai; app are great. The latter is especially better than the rest of the field, a huge portion of thin rice noodles that are more tangy than you find elsewhere. They take special orders in stride (no veggies, no fish sauce, etc.) and never get your order wrong. There's a reason they're my go to. read more

this has been my families go-to thai restaurant since i was young. 1: appetizers Crab Delight: crunchy, savory, creamy filling, perfectly paired with sweet-and-sour sauce. Fried Tofu: pretty basic and i use my own mae ploy sweet chili sauce. 2: entrée Yellow Curry: so delicious!! i order chicken and level 1 spice, which is mild but not bland. large chunks of potato and onions are a good variety in textures. Crispy Chicken: crispy, almost sweet and deliciously fried. Yellow Curry Fried Rice: i LOVE the pineapples!! it doesn't taste like the yellow curry, but it's delicious in its own way with a mix of eggs, onions, pineapple, etc. Pad See Ew: soft noodles, egg, etc. classic! and the Thai Iced Tea, of course, is amazing. read more
