The food here is good most of the time, but they are not very "gluten free" friendly. They have limited items. Sadly today the service was lacking. The one lady on shift is overworked for the crowd that comes in. We all ordered what we thought was lunch but tow of the 5 people ordered a meal that was much more expensive. They were told they ordered a dinner meal and that the rice on the side was an additional charge of $2. Their lunch was almost $20. They were not happy, since most of us ordered lunches that were under $12. They waitstaff was not sympathetic and we went away feeling frustrated and a bit angry. Good waitstaff will alert people about the lunch and dinner pricing and tell if there is a charge extra . read more

Cozy dinner vibes with Thai aesthetics. Staff is friendly and fast. If you like spice you should probably go up double the stars than what you're used to. Food is not too shabby read more

Several people have told me that I had to try Wanida's Thai Cuisine, so we finally had a chance to make a trip into a part of Bellingham I rarely visit to try this place, which looks more like maybe an old burger stand, or a former dry cleaners. We ordered our Pad Thai with Tofu and extra veggies and took it home. There is a nice dining room which again looks very casual and has more of a burger joint appearance. First off, I didn't really notice any extra veggies that we were charged for, and the choice of veggies that were in the dish were somewhat odd, I did like the little corn cobs, but I would have left the huge onions and peppers out, there was very little broccoli or carrots. The tofu was excellent, and the highlight of the dish, very flavorful. Overall the Pad Thai had a unique flavor, not even close to anything else we've had. We were helped right away, and the cashier was friendly. Out Pad Thai was good, but not great, I'm not in a hurry to return, and if I did go back I would try this again and tell them to just throw in extra broccoli, corn, and carrots. The portion was a little smaller than other Thai Restaurants. read more

I have dined in and taken out and the consistency with this place is unmatched. They have large portions and the flavor is always amazing. The staff is fast and polite. The inside is nicely decorated. It even has a bar area if you want a cocktail and apps for casual dining. This is my go to place for Pad Se ew now! read more

The food here is the best real Thai food in town. Fresh, colorful, and tasty, with generous portions, two items satisfied me for two meals. I ordered the Tom Yum soup with fresh tofu and the chicken larb salad. The soup was hot and the salad was correctly chilled. A selection of four additional spices was included to my to-go order so I could adjust the temperature myself. You'll be happy if you give this modest restaurant a try. read more

Wanted to try this restaurant for a while. Service was really good. Our waitress was sooo nice.Food was amazing. I can't wait to go back many times to try each dish. Took my niece and she had a great time! The Phad Kee Mow was really tasty.. Probably the best I have had.. The Lamb meat was unexpectedly very tender.. and with some peanut sauce.. crazy good! I highly recommend this restaurant! I also enjoyed the ambiance.. seating was comfortable and the smells from the kitchen had me hooked before I ordered. read more

Wanida is a great Thai spot! My family and I have gone here numerous times for different celebrations and just in general. We like to order the beef panang curry, amazing fried rice, Pad Thai, and pad see ew. The spice levels are also great (we love spicy). The restaurant has cute decor and the seating is comfortable. One time when I went for my brothers birthday it was pretty slow (there were only a couple other tables there) and they were so kind and attentive. They brought out little complimentary snacks while we were waiting for our food, and a surprise dessert at the end! read more

Wanida Thai Cuisine - Dessert - Thai Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

This restaurant has the best quality and flavor for low-tier Thai food, albeit a bit expensive. It should be $3 less per plate, but maybe everything is just too expensive these days. I don't know if I'll go back because there are so many Thai places around that are equally as good, if not better, cost the same price but have slightly nicer ambiance. I can't really say anything bad about the experience or food. The staff/waitress was quick and friendly, and the food was delicious. read more

We enjoy the food and menu options here. We do have to order gluten free and the first experience we had ordering seemed very reassuring that what we ordered was gluten free via telephone call. The second time we ordered we ordered via DoorDash and it does not give you the option to add a note about gluten free but there is a no wheat sign on the menu so we thought it was safe to order this item from the menu without further discussion. Turns out you still have to say that you want the item gluten free and you cannot assume it is gluten free. When confirming the order was gluten free this created confusion with the staff and question whether there is a true gluten free option at this location. read more

went to dinner last evening (4/6/2025) this was by far the worst we have ever experienced. I ordered the chicken teriyaki (no rice it is separate) and we also ordered some spices noodles and orange chicken. the teriyaki was cold and the sauce looked like slime that was just spider webbed on it. the oran chicken didn't taste like oranges at all and it was by far the worst we have ever had there. not coming back for a long long time! read more

Pad Thai for DW and Tom Ka for me. The real winner today was the beef in the pad Thai. I may just order the meat next time I go back. And the Thai was delicious already so we really recommend the pad Thai beef. The Tom Ka Kai was good, it was really good. It was a little sweet for me as they put so much coconut cream into the dish. I would have had it seasoned a little more and will get a hotter version the next time, but we'll made and plentiful! The inside was largely clean and the smells were good. The service was perfect. Everyone was nice and welcoming, smiles all around and attentive without being hovering. read more

I am pretty sure this place used to be a lot better than it is currently. It was fantastic a few years ago, and I knew it was one of the busiest takeout restaurants in the area, so I figured it was still high quality to have so many people coming back. I love the online ordering/text confirmation system. That is SO easy. And the logistics of picking it up are great. But when we got home, we found that the $2 rice (yes, you have to pay for rice) to go with the red curry and the spicy eggplant were not in the bag. I never understand charging for rice, and no it doesn't break the bank, but it was disappointing. The pad key mow, my go-to, was bland. There weren't a lot of veggies, there was not a lot of sauce on the noodles, and yes, I got 3 stars for spice, but it's like there was nothing on it. It was just a bunch of very lightly seasoned slimy noodles. The red curry was okay, but mostly liquid with not a lot of substance, and again, no rice. The spicy eggplant was probably the best thing we ordered, but it tasted not all the way cooked. At least there was a decent amount of pork in that one. Lastly, we got khao soi, which wasn't bad, but we've definitely had better elsewhere in town. Overall, while the best Thai place in town is a good deal more expensive for the same dishes, I would say that you get what you pay for. Next time, I will definitely opt on the side of the known and go there instead. read more

Although this place does not taste necessarily better than some of the top Thai restaurants in Seattle or Vancouver, it is the best that Bellingham has to offer. There is parking around the establishment and a decent amount of tables for indoor seating. The food prices are $15-$19 for most items and they all taste above average, but nothing with a wow factor. I usually order their Red Curry or Pad Thai. Unfortunately, I do find the noodle dishes to be a bit too oily for my taste. Also, the wait for entrees can be long, up to 30 minutes when there are many delivery orders. read more

We usually get take out from here, as we did for this visit. They are consistent in having the order ready at the stated time. My usuals are: chicken pad Thai, massaman curry and chicken satay. I order the chicken pad Thai without tofu on it. The massaman curry comes with rice. It's pretty straightforward, it's good. The chicken satay is basically meat on a stick but the sauce it comes with is delicious! I think it's some sort of sweet peanut sauce but it's tasty every time. I tried ordering through a 3rd party app one time for delivery and it said you can't make any substitutions or changes. It's better to call them directly and it's a better way to support small businesses and pick it up yourself. They've always been accurate with our order. We didn't get any utensils, not even chopsticks. I believe there's a new ordinance in Washington State that says that restaurants won't give out utensils unless the customer asks for them. I would have liked it if they offered utensils. I don't know the details on the regulation but it's frustrating when you find out after you leave the restaurant that you don't have utensils. Overall, the food is good and the service is good. I know we will be back. read more

This place is a gem in Bellingham!!! So delicious, and worth the price! Best Thai food in Bellingham, WA for sure. I ordered code takeout and we had tons of leftovers. I recommend getting a few things to share. I highly recommend the Panama curry and pad see yuh! The chicken is tender, and the curry isn't too runny or heavy! You can select the level of spice which is very nice. Moderate isn't too spicy, so go heavier if you're looking for a kick! The spring rolls were crispy and packed with veggie fillings. We are the orange chicken up! The sauce is sweet and tangy but has some nice smoky flavor! read more

Wanida Thai is located on Dupont close to downtown Bellingham and there is limited off street parking. The restaurant is fairly clean and the service is prompt and friendly. We were seated quickly and ordered our beverages. After perusing the menu we opted for a Fresh Vegetable Wrap for appetizers and we weren't disappointed; these crunchy, flavorful wraps are packed with the freshest ingredients and come with a spicy peanut sauce for dipping. Yummy! I had the chicken phad thai which was excellent- just the right amount of spice and a huge helping. Hubby had the Thai BBQ pork- thinly sliced pork tenderloin marinated and grilled, served over stir fried vegetables with rice. Simply delicious. Overall a very good meal: great service, casual ambiance, delicious food and good prices. We will be back. read more

Excellent service! Amazing cooks! And the food is sooo good! Our favorite is the Crispy Trout Curry!

Excellent food! Professional & helpful wait person. The only thing is, the outside of the place is very unprepossessing- outside needs a clean & tidy & paint job- doesn't do justice to the great food and likely puts customers off. read more

First of all not the first time I have eaten here, I have had good service and good food the past times I've ate here. The most recent we came in to dine-in, we ordered food but we soon realized they were prioritizing to-go orders rather than the customers that came in to eat. We spent over an hour waiting for our food then when they finally brought it out they gave us no utensils to eat. We were never checked on for the rest of the night until we requested our bill. I tip fair everywhere I eat, but they will be sharing a few cents among the all employees. I will not be back. read more

Friends of mine opined this is the best Thai food in B'ham, and so we all went! I haven't had Thai food here in B'ham before, and I like Thai, so I was happy to go! One friend raved about the Pad Thai. My other friend had delicious-looking deep fried prawns that I want to go back to try. The spring rolls I had were a little more solid and fried than I like, but I liked the larb very much. And I just loved the staff, including our server, Noah, who was delightful and helpful. I loved the artwork where we were seated too. read more

Partner orders this place on her way home, So only had them to-go. Had the chicken pad Thai, the Thai tea, and the pineapple curry. All amazing.

Thai food has always have a soft spot on my list of favourite cuisines, whenever we visit the States, we would make a point to visit the Thai Restaurants down south. When I think back, Thai Food has always been popular in the States when Pho was still relatively new to the ethnic food scene in the US of A and to a certain degree similar here in Vancouver, BC. This is highly recommended by my partner, who found this gem from YELP! We decided to make a day trip to Bellingham and made a stop for lunch here. The dining room was already 80% full when we entered at around 11:30ish, and from the tables, I can already see that the food is very good! Everyone is enjoying their meals and almost everyone asked for a take out containers!! ( as a Yelper, I hope to bring this to everyones' attention; please ask for paper containers and if possible bring your own, so that we will not have to throw away foam / plastic containers in our landfill ). Anyways, we decided to have 2 dishes to share: Meal #1 : Phad Thai - Chicken The National Noodle Dish of Thailand! Their version was done in the most traditional way; with Tamarind juice as the flavouring for the noodles instead of tomato ketchup ( as many places uses ) therefore, the colour of the dish is not red but a light brown colour. I really like this version as the noodles have a more natural tartness then the artificial sourness of using ketchup. The rest of the ingredients are also well balanced with eggs, bean sprouts, green onion, chilli, chicken, fish sauce, tamarind sauce etc. This is one of the best Phad Thai I had for a while, and of course their noodles where done el dente!! Meal #2 : Krapoa Gai Kai Dow - Minced Chicken with peppers and fried Basil This is featured as their Signature Dish, and also the reason my partner wanted to bring me here!! This is a very savoury dish with all the ingredients melded together to give you that distinctive Thai flavour! There is something magical about Thai Food! You can never tell that is the main seasoning they are using? Is it fish sauce, black bean sauce, soy sauce, tamarind sauce, or a mix of all the above! This signature dish can be included into this category : Magical!! They serve the minced chicken in the "Magical Sauce" with Jasmine Rice, and I can already find ten ways to have this with: Lettuce Wrap, Taco, Rice Noodles, etc...you get the idea! Service: Excellent! The young lady that served us was super friendly and also gave us some suggestions regarding the spiciness of the dishes, she also warned us not to over Star, as we can always add more chilli after!! Nice touch! Finding this high level of Thai Food in Bellingham is a blessing! This will make our short trips down here even more fun!! read more

Wow! We picked up take out from Wanida on 1/7 and were so impressed. The restaurant came highly recommended by multiple friends during a recent visit to Bellingham. I enjoyed the Pad Thai with fried tofu at 4 stars, hot. The heat level was perfect if not a little light. The noodles were perfect and the tofu was incredible. I could not stop myself! The only thing that may have made it better would be a combination of vegetables and tofu. I look forward to returning and dining in on my next visit. read more

2.5 stars. The food was very good (4 stars) but the service was virtually nonexistent (1 star). Food: This was my second time here. Just like the last time, I ordered the Boat Noodles. I went with 3 stars of spiciness because the "warning" on the wall said 4~5 stars are really hot. I'm glad I that I didn't go for 4 stars as I usually do. It was pretty spicy but good spiciness. The spices were tingling my throat, but I was able to taste the food. Any hotter, I wouldn't have enjoyed it. The portion size did not appear big but it was filling. I'm pretty happy with the food (solid 4 stars). Service: There were two waitresses on the floor. They were both friendly and nice. One of them took my order and brought my food in a timely manner, but I was completely IGNORED after that. Not even a single check-in with "How's the food?" After I was done with my noodles, I was sitting at the table for easily over 10 minutes, but I couldn't even ask for my check! I walked up to the counter and paid there. Recommendation: Call ahead and get your food to go. In fact, they get a lot of phone orders to go. So, even when there are a few groups eating in, they just can't handle it. So, my 2 star rating is based on dining in. I would give them 4 stars if it were a to-go order because the food is very good and reasonably priced. ****************************** If you found something useful in my review, please hit "useful" so that I can improve my reviews.

This is the best Thai food in town (coming from a DC Metro native with a huge array of international food)! Wanida Thai has a large variety of Thai dishes, all with outstanding flavor and your choice of spice level. Unlikely most other Asian eateries, the space level 1 - 5 is actually consistent and accurate. We've ordered numerous dishes and so far everything has been fresh, bright and flavorful. My favorites: -Golden Garlic -Pagoda Basil -Swimming Rama read more

Very good Thai place, I went here tonight for dinner. I went with a fellow foodie, and we ordered way too much food but everything was delicious. To start, we ordered the fresh rolls, which came with a peanut-curry type sauce; she wanted the fried tofu, as well, and I usually just like tofu but this was really good. The tofu comes with a sort of spicy dipping sauce, too. For my main meal, I got #2 on the stir-fry menu, which was a garlic dish, and I got it with beef. My friend got a curry dish which was spicy but tasty. For dessert, we tried the mango sticky rice, which was also very good although the taste was very different from anything else I've ever had for dessert before. I also ordered the Thai iced tea which was fantastic. I'm not sure what kind of milk they make it with, I think maybe coconut milk, but it was very good. We took Uber to the restaurant after seeing the great Yelp reviews, and it's in the middle of a neighborhood which kind of surprised me. Definitely worth checking out though; it seems like they do a pretty busy takeout business as well. read more
