    Great late night Thai spot!! The food is so-so, but it's open late w a special late menu

    Mango Sticky Rice
    Sunny Y.

    Our server was friendly and the food came out quickly. The food was fairly average 3/5 with a bump up for service. Ordered: Pad see ew- This veered towards a really sweet profile. Green Beans- Not too bad, but lacked a depth of flavor. Papaya salad- This turned out quite wet. Pineapple fried rice- Also a bit one note on curry powder, but nice pairing with the pineapple. Mango sticky rice- classic! Mango was sweetish, on par for the time of year.

    Crab delight
    Kathy N.

    Clean establishment. A little old, and feels like a hole in the wall/mom and pop kind of restaurant. When my boyfriend and I went we were the only customers at around 3:30-4pm on a Sunday so service was very speedy. We got crab Rangoon, pad see ew and pad Thai. I know, we're very adventurous people. Crab rangoon had a lot more cream cheese than imitation crab so I would've liked to see more imitation crab. I liked the plum sauce it came with Both noodle dishes tasted fine but nothing spectacular. I can't handle spicy food well and got a 2 out of 5 spice level and thought it was fine. My boyfriend who can handle spicy got a 3 and wished he got higher. Serving sizes are good and we had some leftovers to take home. My only complaint was probably the price. It was $18 for most of the noodle dishes on the menu (including one that uses ramen noodles as the base), but for the atmosphere and quality, I'd expect to pay around $14. But I guess rent and costs to operate are expensive

    Thai Trout Salad

    Always good friendly service and they don't have her over you. Today I tried a new dish. I got the trout salad and it was amazing.! Lots of bright intense flavors of garlic, lime chili peppers. The trout is battered and deep-fried and then seasoned with all those tasty good things. The atmosphere is casual with lots of windows. Street parking available. Another dish I like is there basil basil. Lots of vegetables and meat of your choice with more fantastic flavors.

    Ordered the chicken thai basil basil and it was delicious! This is my go to Thai spot and the customer service is always great. The owners are very personable and kind. As always, my dish was delicious and I also got the Thai iced tea which was perfect! I'd check out their lunch specials as well, it's a great deal!

    Noi Thai Cuisine is where my Thai best friend and I go whenever she is in town! It is one of the…read morebest Thai restaurants in Seattle and is certified as Thai Select which certifies its Thai authenticity. They have locations both in Downtown Seattle and Greenlake, but I have only been to their Downtown Seattle location which has a beautiful view of the Puget Sound. The atmosphere is dark, trendy, and modern- perfect for a date night or nice evening out. While they are a white table cloth, sit-down restaurant, you can dress casually or dress up a bit - both are completely acceptable. This most recent visit I ordered the COCONUT PANANG CURRY with chicken ($25.95) and my friend ordered her favorite dish, SALMON GARLIC FRIED RICE ($28.95). On a past visit, I've had their CLAY POT SHRIMP & GLASS NOODLES (KOONG OB WOONSEN) ($27.95) which was absolutely fantastic and has had me hooked on Pad Woonsen ever since! I saw the COCONUT PANANG CURRY recently in my Instagram feed and knew I had to get it. It is served in a whole coconut (yes a real, fresh coconut!) and comes with a champagne flute of fresh coconut juice from the coconut they hollowed out and a side of Jasmine rice. The curry was rich, flavorful, and full of Thai basil and peppers. The coconut juice was light and refreshing and a great contrast to the thick curry. The SALMON GARLIC FRIED RICE (which I've sampled before), is gigantic, aromatic, and served with a giant grilled garlic butter fillet of salmon on top. The salmon is extremely moist, oily, and bursting with flavor. The rice is fragrant and has garlic paste, red bell pepper, carrots, and green onion. If you're looking for a tasty and protein-packed meal, this is the dish! Parking is honestly tough in this area as it's located on 1st. They have limited street parking and a few paid parking garage options around. I recommend light railing or Ubering here if you're not already in the downtown Seattle area. Service is always great and we always get our food quickly, no matter how crowded they are. The staff also take the time to check up on your table during your meal. Overall: 5/5 for food, 5/5 for service, 5/5 for atmosphere

Time to try it out on a beautiful Spring day in Seattle. It's located close to Pike Place Market so planning a fun day involving these two places was a breeze. The restaurant had a beautiful Thai interior. The chairs we were seated in were not that comfortable, however. Service was efficient and straightforward. We ordered an appetizer and two dishes. The dishes were salmon fried rice and Pad Sei-Iew. I feel bad but we were not that impressed with their food. Fried rice was really salty and Pad Sei-Iew was also on the saltier side. I am not sure if we will return given the lackluster quality of the foods. Perhaps when we have another outing in the downtown area, we might give it a try again to try other dishes.

When entering they had a live keyboardist and singer playing Valerie which I was a fan of. We stopped in at 10pm on a week night and were sat right away and service was prompt and friendly. We chose fried calamari for an appetizer which was super delicious. My boyfriend thought the sauce that came with the calamari was too spicy for his liking but for me it was super sweet and paired perfectly with the calamari. We enjoyed the appetizer thoroughly and I would say it was my favorite part of the meal. My man ordered his favorite Thai dish Panang chicken Curry spice level 1. He said his meal was delicious but big portion so we both took to go our leftovers. I tried the curry and it was super tasty. I ordered my go to prawns Pad Thai and chose spice level 3. The Pad Thai was delicious and large portion but level 3 was not spicy at all so if you love spicy like me choose above level 3. Not the best Pad Thai I've ever had being honest but still yummy especially for late night. Definitely a great late night choice with large portions!

I think the flavor is not much like I expected. Flavor is just so so. I also got the drunken noodles. I think this dish has a lot of liquid in compare to drier stir fry. Their food is what I can prepare myself. No taste of high BTU wok at all.

    My wife and I have been devoted fans of Isarn Thai Soul Kitchen for years, especially their…read moreKirkland and Lynnwood locations, so we were excited to try the Queen Anne spot. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and we were looking forward to the bold flavors we've come to love. The visit started off a bit oddly. The front desk server, Tar, asked to see my wife's ID--even though she's 36 years old and we weren't seated in the bar area. It felt inconsistent, especially since younger guests nearby weren't asked, and it's something we've never experienced at their other locations. Unfortunately, moments like that made us feel singled out, and honestly it sometimes feels like they tend to pick on Asians, whether intentional or not. That feeling alone made the experience uncomfortable and will likely make this our last visit to this location. That said, the table service was excellent. Moo took great care of us, and Cece from the bar was attentive and kept our water filled throughout the meal. Unfortunately, there were a few moments that took away from the experience. While I was taking photos of our dishes, a young staff member alongside Tar appeared to be giggling and mocking me, which made things uncomfortable. It may not have been intentional, but it didn't feel professional and only added to the awkward atmosphere we already felt. Food-wise, there were some inconsistencies. The chicken didn't taste as good as we remember, and several plates had visible fingerprints, which was off-putting. The galvanized metal plates also gave off a slightly unrefined feel--more like cafeteria-style serving ware. Additionally, the sticky rice, which is usually presented in a traditional bamboo basket, was served in a Ziploc bag, which felt like a downgrade in presentation. On a positive note, the papaya salad and pad Thai were still very good and delivered the flavors we expect. We'll continue supporting Isarn, but we'll likely return to the Kirkland or Lynnwood locations next time. Sadly, after this experience, this Queen Anne visit will probably be our last.
