    Panang curry with pork and brown rice
    YuJun L.

    Came here on a Saturday around 1PM while I was waiting for my brakes to get changed Was seated promptly and given plenty of time to peruse the menu. I ordered the fresh spring rolls with prawn, pork panang curry with brown rice and a Shirley temple. Panang curry was very flavorful, but might have been a tad salty for my liking. The shrimp spring rolls were delicious. The peanut sauce it comes with was perfectly made and it hit the spot. Shirley temple was pretty good, but maybe I could have asked for a little less syrup. There's what I assume is Thai music playing in the background which is there but just barely unlike other places that play really loud music. It was nice being able to enjoy my meal in peace Would come back to try the lobster pad thai I kept eyeing

    Always great service. Always good good! I didn't get a pic of the mango sticky rice but it's to die for!

    This place has better ambience that what I expected looking from outside. Really artistic and rooted in Thai culture. I tried one of their lunch combo and I just say I left pretty satisfied. I also like the cold coffee tea which was a very pleasant fusion. The red curry was tasty, the dumplings were okay. Service was pretty quick. I don't think I had to wait for long and the server also checked on me pretty frequently. Maybe they thought poor guy dining alone

    Sri Racha Noodle
    karthik

    A decent Thai food in Kirkland Food : 3.5/5 1. Ultimate platter :4/5 A mix of chicken satay , prawn roll, crab wonton and spring roll served with peanut sauce. 2. Sriracha noodle with beef : 4/5 Very juicy and super tasty noodle. Perfectly cooked with right amount of salt and spicy. We ordered 4* spicy but it's not that spicy. 3.emperor noodle : 2.5/5 Looking at the presentation it was yummy. But frankly it was mediocre taste. Lil disappointed. It's part crispy and part saucy like chopsy style noodles . Overall all good quantity was worth the money Service : 5/5 Very good service and welcoming Ambiance :4/5 Decent ambiance with typical Thai restaurant theme. Parking is plenty in mall. Overall 4/5

    Crispy Garlic Tofu
    Sameer K.

    The food was great. The garlic tofu was crispy and tasty. The same goes for the chicken dish (forgot the name) that was preferred. The staff was attentive and polite. We never had to wait for anything. The inside has a bunch of decorative lights. The furniture is wooden with no soft seats if that matters to you. Overall I liked it and will go again.

    I just ordered a dish from this restaurant for lunch and to be delivered to my work place. First of all for the price they charge they give you lots of food. I order the basic S&S tofu lunch special. The sweet and sour are done nicely and taste good, but I was hoping them tofu weren't deep fried. Other than that it was alright.

    Thai ice tea
    Tony J.

    Small Thai restaurant in a plaza near the Kirkland Costco. The plaza was pretty busy on a weeknight. The restaurant was half full. Nice interior with some Thai mythology paintings on one of the walls. Menu is pretty good sized. In addition to the standard noodle, rice and curry, they have good number of specialty dishes and desserts. I got the Thai iced tea for drinks. Very good, and quite sweet. For entree, I got the drunken noodles with beef and level 2 spice (out of 5). Spice level was noticeable, but not overwhelming. Their drunken noodles are on the sweet side. My friend got the crunchy garlic chicken, which was plated nicely in a pile. It is fried boneless chicken bits and certainly very crunchy. Finally, got the fried banana which comes with whipped cream, coconut ice cream and drizzle of some fruit sauce. Found the coconut ice cream to be the tastiest thing on that plate. Overall bill was $65 before tips. Their prices are not the cheapest, but portions are pretty good.

    Pad Thai
    Alicia M.

    Really yummy Pad Thai! Gotten take out/delivery here a few times as I work nearby. Ordered lunch for my team one day and they all loved it and we're now repeat customers! Lunch portion of pad Thai was huge. Ate about half and I was stuffed! 2 stars was the perfect amount of spice. I also like that they didn't serve with bean sprouts. I'm not a sprout fan and I feel like a lot of Thai places overdo it in order to make portion seem larger. Theirs came with perfectly thin sliced carrots and some purple cabbage. Good amount of peanuts too. Give this place a try if you're looking for Thai in Kirkland.

    It was basic, not anything to rave about but definitely not the worst I've had in the area either. The food needed more flavor, more garlic.

The host was very quiet and although I didn't hear him, luckily my daughter did. I asked for a five star curry with Salmon, but they informed me that they could only do three stars so ordered the three star curry, a side of spicy sauce and rice. My daughter ordered the Phad See Eiw with tofu. The server delivered the wrong noodle dish, I immediately said that it wasn't what we ordered; she ignored me, dropped it off and left for the next table where they informed her that she had swapped the dishes. The salmon was quite good, seared and crispy around the edges. The curry wasn't spicy at all, so I had to add the full side of spicy sauce. The spicy sauce made it spicy enough, but it was sour. I tried to explain this to the server; instead of hearing me out she immediately brought more spicy sauce. Finally I was able to get them to cook the curry with the spicy sauce making it less sour and the flavor was good. The rice was definitely insufficient for the amount of curry ordered, which I found strange given how cheap rice is. I tried my daughters noodles. They use a cheaper oil and added lots of sugar, making it a sub par dish. We also ordered a young coconut, but it wasn't that young and the meat was hard. At $12 for an item that costs $1.50 I was underwhelmed. Overall the dishes were hit and miss, and the service was sub par. Try it at your own risk.

    I was in downtown Kirkland and decided to stop by Hanuman Thai. I tried them once before during the…read morepandemic and the food was authentic. We were warmly greeted by an elderly gentleman. A few tables were occupied and the aroma of Thai food filled the air. The decor is minimalist. We ordered the Pad Thai and the Red Curry, both with Chicken for a buck more. In my opinion, these are the 2 basic dishes in Thai cuisine that really separate the good ones from the great ones. Since I make both these dishes at home with store bought ingredients, I was looking for a restaurant experience with house made ingredients. and Hanuman Thai did not disappoint. At a spice level 4, the Pad Thai was still mild. I would have preferred that they serve the mixings like bean sprouts and peanuts on the side. They missed serving a lime wedge which we had to ask for. I would say the dish was a 3 out of 5. I would have liked a bit more green onions and chicken. The red curry was a totally different experience. Spice Level 4 came through just fine with the addition of bird pepper. The flavor was great with the right amount of coconut milk to red curry paste ratio. It came with complementary Jasmine rice. 5/5 for this fabulous dish. Definitely a home run Thai cuisine with good service though a bit expensive but what is not in this day and age. They get tons of take out orders, so service might be a bit slow as they run a skinny operation. I would certainly go back to try the other items on their menu.

We're certainly not Thai experts - we've eaten at a lot of Thai places in the US, but couldn't tell you what makes authentic vs Americanized. Compared to other places, the Pad See Ewe was pretty plain - underspiced, underflavored. Not bad, but it had no depth, no darkness or umami from the sauce, nearly bland. The crispy rolls were luke warm inside, and it was also a bland mush. I was pouring the sauce inside just to get a little flavor but still no saving the poor consistency. The rangoons were OK. The flavor of the filling was good, but we each preferred a thicker wrapper to balance the creaminess. This was an extremely thin crisp wrapper so you're just eating chunks of crabby cream cheese. Hey, if that is what you're here for then you're in luck. I always get Pad See Ewe my first time at a Thai place.just to measure relative quality. Maybe that isn't their power dish, but their menu says it is one of their most popular.

Fern Thai is one of the rare exceptions. Everything I've ordered here has been phenomenal, making it my absolute go-to spot to take friends and family for a guaranteed great meal. ​The Highlights: * great ambiance * ​Pad Thai: At most restaurants, Pad Thai feels like a waste of money, but here it is worth every single penny. * ​Gai Tod Hat Yai: An all-time favorite dish! You get a deep-fried half chicken served with flaky roti, panang curry sauce, sweet chili sauce, and a fresh cucumber salad on the side. (Note: The chicken breast can occasionally have its tender vs. slightly tougher days, but the flavors overall are unbeatable). * Beef ​Pad See Ew: Generous with the protein and broccoli, unlike other spots that give you 95% noodles. ​* Crab Fried Rice: Phenomenal execution with incredible, smoky wok hei. * * * ​Specialty Seafood Dishes: Highly recommend ordering off their specialty menu. The seafood plates are packed with crazy amounts of umami and have the perfect rich saltiness when paired with rice. Only lowlight: as for any good restaurants in greater seattle area, the wait can be long. I'd suggest avoiding peak time. ​I try to order something new every time I visit because every dish delivers. Hands down one of the best Thai spots in the entire Greater Seattle area!
