    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

    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.

    Amazing Thai food with rich flavors and fresh ingredients. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff are very welcoming and attentive. Highly recommend the curries and noodles - absolutely delicious!

    I didn't provide a "negative" review, this is an honest review of my experience. I gave feedback, which was generally positive and included praise for the staff and some of our food quality. Sending back the food or requesting a remake wasn't going to change my concerns or opinions. Asking for a refund for food I consumed wasn't necessary, nor would it change my rating that this was not a 5 star experience for Thai food. My friend also agreed with my take, tho she didn't write about it. This app is to help people make informed choices about other people's experiences, and I do my best to be honest and fair, which is what I have done here.

    Very cute setting inside, with holiday lights and decor. The food is delicious. Tom Kha soup is sooo yummy, flavorful, tangy, creamy. Prices are a bit on the high side. But the service is always friendly. That and the delicious food make it worth a splurge now and then.

Even…read morethough not everything went well, it was such a great experience that we will for sure come back again. I signed up for the waitlist at 11:15am before we left for the restaurant. When we got there at 11:40am, we checked in and the staffer said it would be approximately an hour to hour and a half wait on top of our already 25 minute wait. Whoa! We didn't know these were typical weekend waiting times. My MIL was willing to wait so we took off and came back in an hour. At that time, they were able to seat our party of three at a table outside. So, it took us about 90 minutes total to get seated. Note to future diners to get on the waitlist early if you're coming for weekend brunch!!! You use a QR code to order from an online menu. Liked how detailed the menu was and how we could remove or add ingredients. With my dairy and eggs intolerance, this comes in handy. My MIL ordered Eggs Benedict, I got the smoked turkey sandwich on focaccia, and my hubs got the chicken sandwich on focaccia. Our sandwiches were packed with lots of deliciousness, but my MIL's English muffin was toasted so hard she couldn't even cut through it with a steak knife. So she sent it back and she also asked for her poached eggs to be cooked harder. The staff member was apologetic and said no problem. It took a while to cook it, but when she got her remade Eggs Benedict, she really liked it. We split a slice of apple bread which was delicious. So happy it was dairy free! My hubs also enjoyed his London Fog. My MIL got a huge slice of coconut cake to go and loved eating it later, telling us it was very moist and coconutty. It was a bright day with nice weather and was a perfect time to try out DERU Market. Even though it was very busy, all of the staff were friendly and attentive. They worked like a well-oiled machine. We definitely want to come back and try more of their dishes, pizza, and desserts.

    Came here for Seattle Restaurant Week and this ended up being really, really good…read more The calamari was ridiculous good way. Super tender (without losing texture), especially the tentacles, and the olives were so soft they almost just melt in your mouth. The sauce was so good we basically wiped the plate clean with bread without even thinking. The porcini risotto was fascinating. First bite had me wondering if it was a little to salty, and then it just... opened up. Turned into this really nice earthy, savory, slightly sweet thing. Kept getting better the more I ate. The seafood pasta carried that same sense of layering. It's not just "seafood flavor," but a combination of natural sweetness, umami, and brightness that made each bite feel complete. Our waitress Jennifer was super friendly and made the whole experience really easy and comfortable. We chatted with the owner, Michele, who mentioned he ran restaurants in Italy for 23 years, which honestly explains a lot. He suggested swapping our Aperol Spritz for a Campari version so it wouldn't be too sweet, and he was absolutely right. It paired beautifully with the food and kept everything feeling clean and balanced. Honestly, we're a bit spoiled when it comes to cocktails (we spend way too much time at Kro Bar), but even then we both felt their drinks had real thought and intention behind them. We ended the meal with limoncello, which felt like the perfect reset.

I live in the area and I frequent places right next…read moreto this restaurant and I want to order from it more but my last couple of experiences have been tainted a bit because when I visited there a few months ago, there was a young woman working there who has long dark hair and is on the thinner side. My friend and myself walked in and asked her for a table at the host stand. She asked if we had a reservation and I said no, and she immediately acted strangely and almost in a defensive way, and gave some strange glaring kind of look. The restaurant wasn't very busy at the moment and just had a couple of tables. I was very surprised of her reaction. We were kind of confused by this, and then we were seated and had dinner and then had some strange interactions with her in the restaurant during this time. She continued to give glaring looks and acted in an angry and reluctant way if we asked for anything such as a water refill. It's been months since that night, but we haven't forgotten it. Then we decided to give the restaurant another chance recently, and she was working, and we were seated at a table by another person, but she followed us to the table while we were being seated , and she then grabbed the tablecloth from the table next to where we were being seated, and she pulled the it off quickly and effectively whipped me with the tablecloth. She didn't seem to notice as she stormed off. I got the worst feeling about being there after that and we were debating whether to just leave. She was not the one who waited on us, but she proceeded to come back into the area of where we are seated and never smile, or look at us, but do things with the items on the table next to us in a strange way. It almost seems like she was listening to us talk. My friend and I had a horribly weird vibe which I've never experienced before by a service person at a restaurant. We both agreed we'd probably not return there which is unfortunate. We love the location and the food. I would suggest to the owners to reevaluate who has customer facing roles in your restaurant. It's a hospitality/service-oriented business. Treating friendly and paying customers like they're an enemy is not the best approach.

Even with a reservation, we did have to wait a bit, but it was Valentine's Day, so totally understandable given how busy Italian spots get. Parking was pretty convenient with spaces both in front and behind the restaurant, and if those are full, it's close to the Totem Lake area so there are other options nearby. The ambiance was definitely unique--lots of mannequins, motorcycles, and a sort of roadshow vibe. It felt fun, a little quirky, and different from your typical Italian restaurant. Service was good overall, especially considering how busy it was. Our server was attentive enough and kept things moving smoothly. We started with bread and butter--nothing particularly special, but still enjoyable. The garlic herb compound butter oddly felt nostalgic and reminded me of childhood. For appetizers, we got the meatballs, which were hearty and flavorful. For my entrée, I had the seafood pasta in a wine cream sauce and really enjoyed it. There was a good amount of seafood--not super crab-heavy, but enough to get a few nice bites--and the sauce itself was light and well-balanced. My husband ordered the chicken parm, which he said was good but leaned a bit on the bland side. Overall, it feels like a solid neighborhood Italian spot. Definitely a place we'd come back to when we're in the area.

    Isarn Thai Soul Kitchen is one of my FAVORITE Thai restaurants on the Eastside. They have a second…read morelocation in Seattle too. My favorite dishes are the PHAD SEE EIW with chicken ($16.25) and the THAI GRILLED BEEF SALAD (cooked medium) ($20.50). The PHAD SEE EIW has the perfect sauce balance of sweet and savory flavors and comes with broccoli and carrot. The noodles are super long and wide so you know they are fresh and not from the box. The THAI GRILLED BEEF SALAD definitely has a kick to it. This dish comes with raw cucumbers, carrots, onions, and basil and is served in a tangy and umami fish sauce vinegar mix. The beef is extremely tasty, tender, and well-marinated. This past visit, my friends and I also tried two new dishes that I've never had at Isarn before- their CHIANG MAI NOODLES (aka Khao Soi) ($17.25) and the MINCED LAMB WITH THAI BASIL ($16.50). The CHIANG MAI NOODLES were beautifully presented with a nest of crunchy egg noodles on top of a creamy yellow curry with soft egg noodles underneath. It was served with pickled mustard cabbage and onions for extra punch of flavor. The MINCED LAMB WITH THAI BASIL reminded me of Vietnamese larb. However, this dish was more savory and less tangy than larb and the basil really shined through. It is quite oily though so make sure to enjoy it with a side of JASMINE RICE ($2.75). Portions are generous for all dishes and I always leave with leftovers. The atmosphere is modern, clean, and trendy. It's a great place for catching up with friends and not too loud. I will say the restaurant is a bit on the darker side, but that's just how they set the ambiance. Service was good and we got our food promptly within 15-20 minutes after ordering. It took a bit of time to waive the waiter down for to-go boxes, but they were attentive otherwise. Note that Isarn doesn't take reservations and it's street parking only. However, they have a waiting list kiosk inside the restaurant and so if they're busy, you can sign up for notifications and walk around the downtown Kirkland shops while you're waiting. Overall: 5/5 for food, 4/5 for service, 5/5 for atmosphere

Went on a Friday night with a group of 5 and waited about an hour before getting seated. Unfortunately, you can't join the waitlist ahead of time and when your table is ready, you gotta be RIGHT THERE as we literally walked in 30 seconds after they called us and didn't leave a message, but the staff informed us that they had given our table away. Luckily, we just got the next one available, but felt like a needlessly stressful experience. Jumbo Firecracker Prawns (4.25/5): Spring rolls and shrimp had a baby. Crunchy outside with tender shrimp and sweet chili sauce - a perfect appetizer to share. Isarn Fried Rice (4.25/5): A fried rice unlike any other. Was my personal favorite dish of the night. The rice kernels were separated into individual grains and coated in grease in the best way possible. I'm a kale hater, but the combination with salted eggs and the purposefully chewy fried steak pieces was just super delicious! Northern Style Sweet Curry (3.75/5): The curry itself is fantastic: super balanced between savory, fragrant, and sweet. The steak chunks unfortunately were just a bit overcooked and chewy. Durian Sticky Rice (4.25/5): Sticky rice has a super satisfying chew and I appreciated that the sauce wasn't overly sweet. Durian itself was sweet and creamy with just a touch funk. If you've never had durian before, this is a fantastic intro.
