    Stopped by for dinner on a Wednesday and was able to get a seat right away. The restaurant wasn't busy and the servers were very attentive as we sat down and ordered our appetizers and main dishes. We ordered the appetizer Sampler, Pad Thai, and Pad Kee Mao. The food came out quickly and we dove right in. The noodles may have been a little overcooked, if I'm being nitpicky, but the flavor was good. My friend asked for a mild spice level, and he was happy with that. I asked for medium, but didn't really feel the kick or tingle in my nose like I wanted. Overall it was a good experience and a good spot if you're looking for something late night.

    Pad Thai was the sweetest Pad Thai I've ever had. It was disgusting! Could only stomach a few bites because it literally tastes like pure sugar. Sadly, this place is only getting worse. Prices raised, portions shrunk, and now food quality has worsen. Not returning.

    One of the best Thai food I've tried. Friendly staff. Always chill, and always have table available. Love this place.

    Tom Yum soup. Served boiling hot and awesome flavor!

    We came here once when they first opened and liked it but for some reason never came back until today. This is by far, some of the best Thai food I have ever had! It's a small, cozy place with outstanding service and amazing flavors! If you haven't tried Bua Thai yet, then you are missing out! Excellent!

    I enjoy their food. I have been here, several times and everything always tastes fresh and flavorful. Their portions are decent and I can get 2 meals, out of my 1 entree usually. Their Tamarind Crispy Chicken and their Pad See Ew are my go to dishes! Wish they had more than ice creams left, when I'd go there, craving desserts. Other than that, good spot!

    This is my favorite Thai restaurant in the areas of Lake Stevens, GF and Arlington, because service, ambiance and food are all top notch every time.

    The food is wonderful and the atmosphere is very calm and relaxing. A great place in Lake Stevens /Everett for lunch.

    Pad See Eiu

    The food was incredible and the service was even better. This little place is a gem in Lake Stevens. Not a big place but had a great vibe. Perfect little lunch or dinner spot. I had a Thai iced tea which was perfect! I followed the up with the Bua wings and the crispy garlic chicken. The wings were amazing and the seasoning they put on top is unmatched. The crispy garlic chicken was a perfect level of crispy chicken with a spicy sauce along with peppers. 10/10 would recommend this place.

    Been here 6 or 7 times I have only had the chicken and it's pretty good. They have an orange sauce on the dish that makes it taste amazing.

    Not my fave Thai place in the area. They have a nice make-a-meal option to add on salad and dessert which was cool though.

    Went here for dinner on a Tuesday around 7 pm and got seated without much wait, which was great…read more One of the best things about this place is that they offer a full vegan menu, which is definitely a big plus. We started with the pumpkin tempura. It was crispy on the outside, with a naturally sweet pumpkin inside. It was really delicious. It came with a dipping sauce, though the portion felt quite small. The side of lettuce and a chunk of purple cabbage felt a bit odd presentation wise, but once we wrapped everything together and dipped it, it tasted great. For my main, I ordered the vegan herb tofu salad with medium spice. It was mostly fried tofu tossed in a herb dressing with mint, tamarind, and cilantro. The flavor was a mix of sweet, spicy, and tangy. It honestly reminded me a bit of pani puri. That said, the sweetness was a bit overpowering and made the dish slightly sticky. If they toned that down, it would be perfect. We also tried the vegan 17th curry fried rice, which was good. The curry flavor was subtle. My toddler absolutely loved it. Overall, I would recommend this place, especially for vegans. The food was good, with the only downside being that some dishes leaned a bit too sweet for my taste. The service was okay, not exceptional, but not bad either. I had visited this place about three years ago on a busy Friday night and had a pretty poor service experience, so I wanted to give it another shot on a weekday. The food has improved, and the service was decent this time around.

    Yum yum yum!! Wasn't super busy for a Saturday around lunch time. They have a plenty of menu…read moreoptions including a board with daily specials, plenty of seating, and good service! The option sizes were also perfect and food was absolutely delicious and filling! I will 100% be back here with more friends. Highly recommend!

    Great restraunt…read more Large portions. Spicy scale is like 0 to 4. 3 for me was slightly spicy. The server was very nice. The restraunt was not busy probably because it was a Monday. They tried to make the restraunt feel like you was in Thailand. Some people may say it was cheap looking. I didn't mind. The food is the most important part of the meal. If you want good Thai food, stop by. They are open 7 days a week. Nice quiet restraunt. We had no problems having a conversation. Great food, Great service, Great restraunt.
