    Crab Rangoon, Calamari Ring
    Maya A.

    Vistes on a Saturday afternoon for lunch with a friend, both our first time here, and we were really happy with our experience. The restaurant is beautiful and well decorated, and the staff were very friendly. I do wish they had checked on us a bit more since there were a few moments we waited even though the restaurant wasn't busy at this moment. The food was excellent and made perfectly. We ordered the crab rangoons, calamari rings, chicken fried rice, and the pad ka pao, which ended up being our favorite dish we ordered. We will definitely be back!

    Papaya Salad

    Bo Ran is a solid restaurant option at Pt Ruston with beautiful decor, friendly staff, and delicious food. They have indoor and outdoor seating, with great views of the water from the patio. The food is good, with all of your usual Thai classic dishes. I would say that you should ask for a little more fish sauce/spice to make the food taste more like an "authentic" spot!

    Food: Tasty and fresh ingredients, but the prices were a little steep. But everything is nowadays. Service: Sierra was incredibly sweet and friendly, great service and got us a nice slice of cake to split. 10/10 experience here. Ambiance: it's a beautiful place! We took a bunch of pictures.

    Banana blossom salad - no banana blossom and made with bottled lime
    Mary S.

    Visited this establishment. The aesthetics of the inside are very beautiful and does provide a view of the water. However, the food is seriously lacking. The place was extremely cold. We even asked to turn on the heater at our table side, and this was never addressed. We ordered the banana blossom salad, and there was no banana blossom at all in the salad and it was extremely onion heavy, and you could taste that the dressing was made with fake lime juice rather than fresh lime juice which completely altered the flavor. We also ordered the khao soi. The dish we received could not have been further from what it should be. It was basically a yellow curry with chicken and noodle on the side instead of the appropriate soup it should be. Highly disappointing experience, and also extremely expensive. Will not be going back.

    Crispy Garlic Chicken

    Fast friendly service with flavors you'll crave the next day. Wonderful ambiance and great views bolster the experience, but are not mandatory to enjoy this establishment. Can be pricey depending on what you order, but was worth it for me. Total bill including tip today $108.73. Could have fed 3 adults on the two dishes we ordered. Long story long, the parking situation is not bad. The garage is not overly full on a regular Friday afternoon and once you cross the street, the walk is less than 2 minutes. You're not directly on the water, but the views are phenomenal from the patio and even better from the second floor patio. Service is friendly and attentive. We wanted for nothing our entire meal and our server was very helpful with suggestions and knowledgeable about what ingredients were and what dishes contained what. That's important to me due to my food allergies. The food was amazing. We order the royal crab fried rice at a level 3 and the crispy garlic chicken at a level 2. The rice was phenomenal! Tons of flavor on its own with a tiny kick of addictive heat. Perfectly soft cooked omelette and a literal mound of crab with seasonings mixed in. It also came with a topping sauce and small salad to mix in. My favorite part was the egg with the popping salmon roe. The chicken was very crispy and not overcooked. I thought the sauce would make it soggy, but it's coated and not overly sauced so it stayed crispy even after about 15 minutes. The chicken was tender, juicy and sweet at a level 2. No signs of heat in the chicken at all level two so I suggest starting at a level 3 if you're looking for a variation of flavors. The tamarind in the sauce was prominent without the heat and was still quite tasty without it. We also ordered a Stella and a Strawberry Cosmo. The Stella was an average pour and the Cosmo was perfectly sweet and STIFF!! This is a wonderful place to have a girls lunch or afternoon date. If you have friends visiting from out of town, this a good place to bring them to experience the waterfront without all the crowds and drug heads you must wade through to get to the pier in Seattle. 10 out of 10 recommend!

    Crab Rangoon

    Boran Royal Thai Cuisine is an A-OK Thai restaurant that has prices to match its location. That's why it charges so much here, which is disappointing given the food was lackluster. I can't say I'd eat here again. Boran Royal Thai Cuisine was located right by the hotel I was staying in for a conference, so needed to get some dinner nearby. I'm always down for Thai food, so it was nice to see this place just right across the street from me. Although the decor is nice here and service was good, with an outdoor patio area, the food was overpriced. I ordered the Cha Cha Seafood Sizzling plate, which included mussels, shrimp, scallops and calamari in a curry sauce and veggies. The spice was there, which I liked, but the seafood was not portioned out well as the plate had more squid than anything, so of course there was only one scallop and two shrimps. The jasmine rice it came with was very clumpy and sticky versus fluffy and tender. This cost me over $40 with tax and tip, and was not worth it. Overall, if you're in Point Ruston and you crave Thai food, this is by default the only place you can get such a fare. The food wasn't bad, but was not worth the steep prices, which I imagine is due to its location as most waterfront restaurants take advantage of. I'd get cocktails here and if you make it for happy hour then that's even better. But it's a pretty penny for dinner.

    We came here in hopes of having a delicious birthday meal unfortunately, we left with a fairly high bill and low satisfaction. Our waitress Katie was wonderful and had a great personality and was very helpful upon being seated. The table fireplace lamp was not working and they ran out of lighter fluid so she improvised and used house liquor to light it. What a great idea. When two of our guests wanted hot coffee and they did not serve hot coffee in the restaurant. She made sure that that could happen. We ordered several dishes and only one thing was a positive mention the soup. The rest of the items were probably not even a one star, including a combo fried rice dish chicken,beef & pork that was so dry the meat almost had to be cut with a knife and it was over $40! It had hardly any flavor. We order chicken Lard That had decent flavor and came with the seam of cabbage, we then had to ask for lettuce wrap. We got yellow curry, fried chicken wings (greasy and non flavor) so to say an expensive meal and underwhelming flavors don't go well together. I am not sure I would return

    This is one of the nicest Thai restaurants I've ever been to. The decor and ambiance is first class Thai without feeling 'Americanized'. The service from the front door, to the server, to the busser was great! Very attentive and timely. The food was delicious. I've had great Pad Thai many times in my life, and I'd rate theirs top ten percent. Went with number two heat. Just right! Thus location is ideal for getting some sites in, a vigorous walk, and a fun lunch. I'm coming back, promise! My only reason for four stars is the prices are a bit high. Still coming back!

    This is a fantastic Thai restaurant, the taste of the food brought me back to Bangkok. The staff is friendly and attentive. Definitely a place to go back to!

    What an absolute pleasure to experience! This stunning restaurant not so hidden away at Point Ruston, sweeps you away to exotic Thailand as soon as you enter The decor lured us in but the genuine hospitality, amazing hand and heart crafted food and cocktails blew us away and made us feel so welcomed. Everything is house made and as delicious as it is beautiful. I would eat here all day to work my way thru Bom's incredible dishes and Beasley's smooth cocktails, oh wait I did. Our quick stop for just a drink turned into lunch and then back again for dinner on the patio. Hands down the best Thai food we have ever had, the best food of any eats we have ever had in Tacoma! Fresh, beautiful, power burst of flavors, wonderful and welcoming hospitality. Can not wait to come back. Must trys well there are so many. Heavenly beef rolls, calamari rings, chicken satay with that delicious peanut sauce, Green curry with just the right balance of coconut milk and hint of heat. Our favorite and the one I can't stop thinking or talking about, The Royal Dungeness Crab Fried rice! I can't go into details other than it's trust me and wow did it make great leftovers as well. The portions are very generous but be sure to keep that dessert tube open for the best mango sticky rice you will ever have. The balance of everything they do here has been carefully and loving curated to bring out all the fresh and bold flavors of Thailand. Thank you for such a wonderful day, visit, and experience!

    Terrible service. Doesn't honor reservations during busy nights. Ruined our Mother's Day plans. What's even the point then?

    First time at Indochine and I am very impressed with their interior! Super cozy but also intimate…read more We got a variety of dishes such as the drunken noodle, shaken beef, firecracker spring rolls, and their crab wontons. The food was good! A bit pricier than our usual Thai spot and wasn't the best Thai food I've ever had but still a solid place if you're ever in the area.

    I took my mom and sister out last night for an early Mother's Day dinner. To keep it short, this…read morerestaurant is beautiful and the food is so so tasty but they are seriously fumbling how highly rated they could be because the service and dining experience really is terrible. From the moment we walked in, no one was warm, no one even welcomed us, we had a reservation and still waited to be seated. The host was not friendly. Our waiter didn't even introduce themselves and it took us 30 minutes to get water after asking. Our drinks came out all at separate times, I had to remind him for my mom's prebiotic soda, which he served in the can, no glass and didn't open it. Our meals all came out at different times as well. Overall no one had a sense of urgency, no one seemed to prioritize a good dining experience, and it was so disappointing because again the food and ambience was there. Please set a standard for your staff and either provide additional training or find people who thrive in customer service.
