I recently met up with a friend from high school here for lunch, and this visit was extra special because we hadn't seen each other since we were about 17! A LOT of life has happened since then, so we definitely had plenty to catch up on. Neither of us had been to Bloom Thai before, but we both love Thai food, so we decided to give it a try. This place is definitely different from any Thai restaurant I've been to before. It's super small, with only a handful of tables. You order at the counter, grab your number, and find a table. They also have a big jug of cucumber water that was so refreshing! They didn't have my usual yellow chicken curry, so I decided to try something completely different--the drunken noodles. I honestly had no idea what I was ordering, but OH MY GOSH... I was in love with this dish! The flavors were fantastic, and they topped it with deep-fried basil. I'm not even kidding when I say I think I've dreamed about that crispy basil every day since! It was SO good! The food was definitely the star of the show for me, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. I think this is such a fun little spot to meet a friend for lunch, especially if you want somewhere casual and different. That said, it is VERY small, so I personally wouldn't choose it for a family dinner with a bunch of picky eaters or rambunctious kids. The menu is also a little different than your typical Thai restaurant, so definitely keep that in mind. For dinner, I'd probably order it to-go and enjoy it at home. But for a girls' lunch or catching up with a friend? Absolutely! Great little find, and I will definitely be back for those drunken noodles and that amazing fried basil! read more

The service was definitely the highlight of my experience. The husband-and-wife owners were incredibly kind and welcoming throughout my meal. The husband, who was serving, checked in several times to make sure I had everything I needed. The chef also stopped by my table when she came out of the kitchen, which was such a thoughtful touch. The pork belly was very crispy(an additional fee), but too salty for my taste. The Pad Thai was good, although not the best I've had. The noodles were cooked well, and I enjoyed the flavor of the sauce. It did not come spicy, but chili sauce was available to add some heat. The spicy omelette tom yum soup had a great balance of mild spice and sourness, and it tasted very authentic. The texture of the fried omelette after soaking in the soup was not my favorite, but that may come down to personal preference. The Thai iced tea had a good balance of tea and condensed milk, although it was sweeter than I prefer. You order at the counter, and the food is brought to your table afterward. Water is self-service. They also have a helpful sign explaining the ordering and seating process for first-time guests. The restaurant was very clean, nicely decorated, and had a great ambiance. I especially enjoyed the small area showcasing the chef's history and journey. Overall, the warm service and welcoming atmosphere made the experience memorable. read more

5 out of 5 stars! Bloom Thai was absolutely fantastic! The food was authentic, fresh, and seriously amazing. I received a recommendation from Erica on TikTok, and it was definitely well worth the visit! We had the shrimp Pad Thai and the basil chicken fried rice. The fried rice had a little spice to it, which made it even better. Everything was full of flavor and absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back! If you're looking for amazing Thai food in Lakewood, Bloom Thai is a must-try! read more

Stopped when going from SeaTac to Portland and had lunch. Great options for Thai food lovers. We had fried rice, pork belly with jasmine rice and noodles. The starters are amazing, I could have had just them. I missed some egg in the fried rice - didn't notice it was an option in the extras. Udon was okay... weird spices were used and no one in my party liked it... but you should try and make your conclusions. The waiter was great, very attentive and kind. Will definitely come back. Pork belly was my favorite dish. read more

I love Thai food so much, and this place is such a perfect spot to get it. They have indoor and outdoor seating, and it's a pretty and comforting ambiance when eating outside with the sun out! The employees were very kind. The presentation of the food is absolutely beautiful, and the food was flavorful. They also have mango sticky rice, and it was so good!! This place is further down south for me, so it is a bit of a drive to get to this restaurant, but I am definitely looking forward to my next visit. Thank you so much, Bloom Thai! read more

I've wanted to try Bloom Thai for awhile but we aren't in Lakewood. We went to Lakewold Gardens and I knew this would be the perfect lunch with my husband, daughter and grandsons. And Bloom did not disappoint. Super cute seating area, where you order at the counter from a limited, but very good, menu. Beautifully presented and so good! Wish they had a green papaya salad and pad Thai, but they don't offer those dishes. Recommend for sure! read more

10/10 across the board! This adorable, homey (and aesthetically lovely) restaurant was an amazing experience start to finish. It is marketed as a somewhat self serve restaurant, but despite that we were treated warmly and assisted as soon as we entered to when we left. The waitress kindly explained how to order and we received our food quickly! I ordered the udon drunken noodles with tofu which was delicious. My partner ordered the coconut prawns and crispy garlic chicken (just a note the garlic chicken is more tangy and sweet vs savory). The Thai iced teas were amazing. And we shared delicious vegetarian spring rolls as well. We had a great time and I def recommend this warm, delicious and friendly restaurant if you're feeling Thai! read more

This is a nice south end Thai restaurant that is newer and offers almost-fusion-type dishes I would say. I ordered the pad see ew udon noodles, but sadly I don't think I would try them again as I felt the traditional flavors don't really showcase well in the udon format. We also tried the drunken noodle and felt similarly, but I'd love to come back and order the pad Thai and popular meat dishes. Have a heads up that seating may be limited due to the small space on busy days and times. The staff are very kind and accommodating! The restaurant vibe is really pretty but still has a casual dining atmosphere. Parking is easy as it's in a shared parking lot. read more

**Service:** Amazing! The staff welcomes every customer at the front and checks in with each table every few minutes. They were attentive without being overbearing, which made the experience feel really welcoming. **Environment:** Lovely and pleasant atmosphere--very comfortable and enjoyable. **Food:** We ordered the drunken noodles and crispy garlic chicken. Both dishes were rich in flavor and definitely not bland. I personally think they could have been a little spicier, but the flavors were still delicious. The garlic chicken had a different flavor compared to what I've had at other Thai restaurants My personal favorite was the **drunken noodles**--Definitely the dish I would order again. read more

This cozy, colorful restaurant holds a delicious menu with delicate touches of sweetness throughout. The interior is not only on the smaller side, but also beautiful and comforting--they've created a space that feels warm and inviting while still making everything work efficiently without sacrificing the quality of the dishes. They also have a specials board that changes often, which keeps things interesting if you like to try something new. And the food? Always comes out piping hot and as fresh as can be. It's just as good taking it home as it is dining in--honestly, one of those places you can count on every time. read more

We came here for a late lunch and it wasn't too busy but I can see how it would be packed during the lunch and dinner rush. It was very easy to order at the window and find a seat and the girls working were super nice and friendly! We got the pad thai with pork belly and chicken pad see ew and they gave a free drink for being military which was very kind of them. The portions were huge and the food was very fresh. Their pad see ew uses udon noodles instead of the usual thin and flat wide rice noodles. The flavor was good but there was a lot of sauce and no char on the noodles. The pad thai was yummy and the pork belly was very crisp and well seasoned! The thai green tea was very refreshing as well. The restaurant was very clean and nicely decorated and very bright. The food came out quickly and the servers were incredibly attentive. The kitchen was very open and seemed clean inside as well. The main chef and owner I presume didn't seem like she was in a good mood and I couldn't tell if she was joking or serious but it did make it a little awkward to listen to her yell at her staff while we eating. Otherwise the food is great and we will definitely be back! read more

A very good Thai restaurant near Tacoma. The space is pretty small and you order on a tablet at the front. I tried the pad thai with pork belly and it did not disappoint!

Plus everyone here was super nice and helpful. The menu is limited but it's all about quality over quantity here! read more

Tasty. Intimate. And great staff on board. We ordered three dishes, the garlic chicken, udon dish and a soup. Everything was aromatic and tasted just as good as it smelled. Servers checked in on us every so often, and the plus side of it having a smaller occupancy is that you get to meet the chef and the owner if available. Parking is tricky so try to prepare for that. It is near a nice coffee place, so you can have some delicious drinks afterwards. read more

The food is always good, all her love is put into what she creates. Everyone is friendly.

Probably the best local joint for Thai food! When entering the restaurant it is not immediately apparent that you order at the counter, then you find a seat. This place is always busy so they definitely need to expand so they can have more seating. However, staff are all very friendly and willing to direct you the right way. They have a communal table for water and sauces. I wish they would have sauces available on each table. Ambiance is modern, cute, and clean. Food flavors are fantastic. it took a couple tries for me to fully enjoy the fact that they use udon noodles instead of the usual flat rice noodles for their drunken noodles and pad see-ew. Their crispy garlic chicken was yummy with good crunch, not too much garlic, and the fried basil helped elevate the dish. They also have some special dishes posted on their instagram stories with MAMA noodles but these are not on their menu!! Would really love to try one of these. UPDATE: Found an IG post saying this is the "off-menu MAMA pad kee mao"... now I know how to order it! read more

Bloom Thai Cuisine - Bangkok crispy garlic chicken - Thai Near Me - Lakewood, Washington

This restaurant is tucked back behind gravity coffee off of Custer. You really don't even feel like you are in lakewood when you are in there. It is super cute. Right now they have a Christmas tree decked out in Easter decor. The one guy who took our order and brought us our food was nice. It is slightly awkward how you order and pay. You have to go up to the window where the food comes out of the kitchen and the cashier is facing the customers way. There is really no counter or anything to order at. Our food came very fast and the quality of the food was really good. I got the chicken pad Thai and it was so good. I also enjoyed the money bag coconut shrimp. If you are into getting a fresh coconut that has coconut water in it it is kind of a fun thing to do. Personally, I don't really like coconut water, but I did try it. The food is kind of expensive, but the quality is good. The only reason I didn't give this place a five is because I found a piece of metal in my pad Thai. I really do think it was an honest mistake. It likely was a part of the pan that they were making the food in. The restaurant is clean and I didn't feel like there were any hygiene issues. I would consider going back although Thai food is not my favorite, but I wanted to try this place and it is pretty good. read more

Food The crispy garlic chicken was not as good as I had in the past, it had a hint of sweet and sour taste. The rice was not steaming it was on the dry side. The crispy porkbelly some were crispy and some weren't, the sauce was salty.

Bloom Thai Cuisine - Leftovers of Crispy Garlic Chicken. There was more than enough for two people, and I left most of the rice behind. - Thai Near Me - Lakewood, Washington

Food was 3.0 overall. Basil fried rice with pork belly was 2.5 Red curry with shrimp was 4.5 Chicken pad thai was 3.0. Service 4.5 but don't know why they have people order at counter when they bring the food to you and clear off tables anyways? How is this self serve? I think it'd be better dining experience if they just took order at table and serve food and real plates. Am not sure why this place is so highly rated outside of friendly staff. read more

First time trying this place. The food was excellent. It was a little pricey, but it was well worth it. It's pretty small, but it's cozy and seems to be a very popular as nearly every table was taken. The service was fantastic. Very kind gentleman who checked back on us often. You can pay and tip ahead of time, but I needed to go back give our waiter more. He was awesome. The pad see ew used udon noodles which isn't my favorite, but the flavor is spot on!

Bloom is a cafe vibe Thai restaurant serving your favorite dishes with high quality ingredients and attention to detail. The plating is Instagram worthy and the flavors and warm and friendly service live up to all of the hype. The portions are generous and perfect for sharing. It's tucked into a little strip mall but there's plenty of parking. The coconut prawns are not your typical app, Bloom makes them with what tastes like freshly shredded coconut and juicy prawns. I ordered the drunken udon noodle with crispy pork belly as the protein and it was easily enough for for two people. The pork belly was so tender with a glass shattering crispy skin and the fried basil provided a sweet aroma and flavor to the perfectly seasoned noodles. Already looking forward to my next visit! read more
