Food is amazing, the service was impeccable, and the ambiance was a vibe. I had one of the chef's special (sliced NY Strip with crispy garlic fried rice). I also added a side of the Chinese broccoli. The steak was cooked to perfection and the race was super flavorful. I usually add soy sauce to my fried rice and there was no need! I also like the fact that the fried was wasn't overly oily. If I had one criticism it's that some of the garlic slices were crisped too hard to chew. To drink I had the lychee strawberry lemonade because I am not drinking alcohol right now. It was amazing, but a little too sweet for my liking so I added a little water and it was perfect! read more

Got here close to opening and got seated quickly. Good spot to share food family style and I would wanna try the coffee and other drinks they had next time I come back. We got spice level 2 for papaya salad and level 3 for everything else. I thought these were good choices and not too spicy. Might go up to a 4 next time if I'm actually craving some noticeable spice Papaya salad: 5/5 I liked this a lot, no complaints. Spice wasn't too crazy but I def did taste it even though it was a level 2 Crispy garlic chicken: 5/5 super crispy and the flavor was great. This also came with a side of rice Tom yum w/ chicken (spice level 3): 5/5 not too spicy and super good flavor. Def one of the best tom yum dishes I've had Khao soi: 3/5 not sure if I was too full from everything else but this was a bit too heavy for me and I didn't love it Pad see ew: 5/5 super yummy We ordered 5 dishes for 4 people total and it was def a bit too much. If I could go back, I would order the same thing minus the khao soi and I think that would have been the perfect amount of food read more

Food is decent, I enjoyed the larb salad, but the drinks are super expensive and basic. Their "happy hour" menu is also a bit sad.. so I'll definitely be skipping it for happy hour. My main issue, though, is the fact that they use AI for their menus. In what world is using AI to advertise your FOOD acceptable? I don't want to see FAKE pictures of something I am literally going to be eating. Seeing that left such a bad taste in my mouth and I won't be returning. read more

This was the least impressive meal we've had in awhile. I will say, the ambiance is great. I loved the Thai restaurant that was in the same spot previously, which is why we gave it a try. The service was good. BUT. The food. My husband and I ordered different dishes (entree and a noodle dish). Both of us sat in silence. Both of us had the same feedback... Wow this watery with no flavor. Mine managed to be spicy with no flavor. His managed to be neither. We figured Thai food is always a safe bet, but we left super disappointed. I'm really surprised that any reviews say the food is good, but if you eat a lot of Asian food and have a general standard for Thai or flavor, you will be super disappointed here. Maybe there are outliers we don't know of, but we both ordered pretty standard Thai dishes. My Garlic Lovers plate had massive chunks. LIke I needed a knife, but there weren't any around. It sat in a pool of watery liquid and the chicken was chewy, some pieces of chicken had zero seasoning on them. Just do not. We will not be back again. read more

I came to Fern Thai on a Friday night after a long day, and it was exactly what I needed. The service was quick, and everyone was friendly and welcoming. I started with the crab rangoon, and it was a great appetizer. It had the perfect crunch on the outside, was creamy on the inside, and came with a delicious sweet and sour dipping sauce. For our entrées, we ordered the pad see ew and the pork belly with green beans. Both dishes were packed with flavor. The pad see ew had thick, chewy noodles with a great balance of vegetables and meat, making it both filling and satisfying. The standout, though, was the pork belly with green beans. It was absolutely incredible. We ordered it at spice level 3, and it definitely brought the heat. I was sweating by the end of the meal! The pork belly was tender, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the green beans. If you're in the Capitol Hill area and craving some seriously delicious Thai food, definitely check this place out! read more

Solid late night dinner option! We loved the vibe here. The restaurant was dim, lively, sophisticated, and had a romantic atmosphere. 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! read more

This is a very classy Thai restaurant. The interior set up is good for restaurant dating choice. We were there for a take out. We got the black pepper garlic squid with broccoli. 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. read more

Checked out Fern Thai on a Monday evening after work! It wasn't too busy inside, and we were seated right away. The space is beautifully decorated with dim lighting, green and purplish hues, and a modern, cozy vibe. I heard this is their newer location in addition to their original one in Bellevue. - Satay Boran - Grilled marinated pork satay served with a thick, chunky peanut sauce, toast slices, and pickled cucumber. A solid start with great texture and flavor balance. - Pad See Ew with Beef - My go-to Thai dish. Wide noodles stir-fried with egg and tender beef; comforting, savory, and well-executed. - Duck Curry - Definitely a standout! Crispy yet tender duck in a rich red curry sauce, paired with lychee, pineapple, bell peppers, and basil. Generous portion and bold, layered flavors. Service was fast and friendly--they checked in with us regularly. The menu has all the Thai classics plus a few unique dishes like the duck curry that make it worth exploring. Ambience is relaxed and great for a date night or dinner with friends. Prices are pretty standard for Capitol Hill. Come for the good vibes and delicious Thai eats! read more

Mid-week bites means no crowds. We were visiting UW and met up with friends at Fern Thai. None of us have been here before so we relied on Yelp to guide us. We entered into what I felt was a really dark restaurant. Not from a decor standpoint but just dark and dimly lit. It was really hard to read the menu. Thankfully it's a pretty traditional Thai restaurant so ordering basic pad Thai was the order of the night. This was probably the fanciest pad Thai I've had. Presentation was great. Flavor was on point with pad Thai from my other go to spots. That being said, it was awfully expensive for a plate of noodles. That's where it lost a star for me. Put three orders of pad Thai and noodles, and it's a rare night out. read more

Located in the heart of downtown and a short drive from the starbucks reserve, made this a desirable lunch spot for us. Loved the warm welcome and friendly service. Ample space, beautifully styled and clean premises adds to its lure. In $60 (before tip), we got: - lychee lemonade $7 - 3.5/5- the lychee flavor was not very strong and lemon was freshly squeezed. Light and refreshing drink. - ginger ale $5 - 1/5- it was too strong for my liking. I guess i have not tried their house made version of it and was expecting something like canada dry or Seagram. My bad! - garlic lovers - 5/5 - we added chicken and jasmine rice. So juicy and huge portion of meat and broccoli. Loved it!! - green curry chicken with jasmine rice- 5/5 - loved the portion size. The green curry was perfectly spiced and delectable. Must try!! Definitely recommended!! Ps - clean bathrooms :) and loved the baby proof special plate, spoon and forks read more

Location Capitol Hill neighborhood. Parking pay lot acouple blocks away. Beautiful restaurant & ambiance is chill & intimate. Friendly servers & really fast service. Best soup & crab Rangoon I've ever had in decades of eating Thai food. This was the highlight of my vacation. The soup was rich & spicy (3), filled with chicken, and fresh veggies. I wish I had more time in Seattle!! Best ever!! read more

The service needed some help. It was dead inside maybe like 6 tables and 4 servers. We got sat in the farthest corner of the restaurant, no idea why... We ordered pork sautee it was good. Moist would get again. Then the duck curry which using lychee was a very nice concept made the sauce great. I ordered chicken Thai fried rice. When I say it tasted like something I could make at home I could. The chicken was so over cooked I left it. The rice was bland and even with soy sauce it had no flavor. But I ate it. The place is cute, apparently they have music at the weekend night. But idk. ‍ Not somewhere I would suggest. read more

Love this place. Cap hill location is right in the center of the city. Solid consistent food, attentive staff, and great atmosphere for a casual dinner with friends or a date night. We came on a Thursday night and they had live music as well. Recommend the pad Thai, drunken noodles, pad see ew, green curry, basil chicken, green papaya salad, fried tofu, and crab ragoons. Really you can't go wrong. read more

Great romantic and relaxing spot for some Thai food. They played some really nice R&B music which completes the vibe This is a full table service restaurant and they were accommodating and the food came out quickly. Alright on to the food! Moo Deng Tom Yum (4/5) I love that the tom yum soup here is not strongly sour or tangy. The soup flavor really hit the spot and tastes delicious and comforting. The ingredients tastes fresh and the portion size is generous. What I didn't like was the pieces of lemongrass and basil stems all over the soup. I had to pull a lot of pieces out of my mouth every few times I chew and that got annoying real fast. Duck curry (3/5) I was really excited from all the raving reviews for this dish. The curry itself is very delicious but the duck was a big disappointment to me. Most of the pieces aren't soft or plump as I expected but rather a semi crispy semi tough texture to it with a strong burnt after taste. It's almost like I got the burnt sides of a duck that was put too long in the oven and I'm eating those scraps. I very much want to come back and try some more different items because I love the vibe here! read more

Overall, highly recommend if you're in the Cap Hill area. Food was great, service was good. There are tables for groups or tables for two. The vibes are intimate for the most part. Going here for dinner with a plus one is more favorable than party larger than 6, but they can accommodate slightly from what I saw. Make sure to plan ahead to find parking because it's very limited nearby or you'll walk a few blocks and be wary of your surroundings. On to the food, We stuck to some basic dishes. We ordered the Pad See Ewe with Beef, Crispy Garlic Chicken, Som Tum Thai, and the Thai Iced Coffee. Pad see ewe was exactly as you would expect it. It didn't lack flavor or spice at level 2 spice, definitely worth getting if you like that dish from other Thai places. Crispy Garlic Chicken was much better than expected. It wasn't super breaded like a lot of other places tend to do, this one was actually chicken in there. It was delicious and 1000% would order this one again, don't forget to place an order of rice to pair with it. The Som Tom Thai, aka, papaya salad was flavorful and not super overpowered with fish sauce. It's one of the best tasting papaya salads I've had, very fresh. 11/10, def going again, but maybe leaving the car at home. Enjoy! read more

Food: Portion size vs price is very reasonable. Thai spicy is different than normal spicy. I'd go with level 1 or 2. Got a Pad See Ewe but got a level 3 thinking I can take it. In fact, it was very spicy. I really like the flavor but it was ultimately too spicy. Duck curry was flavorful and the duck was crispy. It comes with some apple slices, lychee, and pineapple. My family also got the crispy garlic ck. I didn't try it but I know my family loves it and went back for the same dish. Service: Their customer service is prompt and friendly, with staff members providing attentive care to diners. I went with a big group but they were still able to check in on all of us. Ambiance: The interior is beautifully decorated, spacious, and inviting, with a cozy and modern atmosphere that enhances the dining experience. Lights are a bit dim so I think it's great for date night. read more

Ordered for pick up a few nights ago, as we just moved a friend to Seattle and wanted to continue unpacking while checking out some local restaurants. Initially I tried ordering through their website but kept getting an error, so I just called and was able to get an order in quick. I got the tom yum with chicken and was overall pleased. It is spiced well and definitely packed with vegetables too. Others in my group tried the wonton soup which they said was good, the mini wings which were crispy and came with a Thai chili dipping sauce, and the garlic crispy chicken was the overall favorite. You'll have to order a side of jasmine rice ($3) and the entree does not automatically come with it. I saw their spice level is from No spicy to 5, but being this is the first time we've tried them we decided to be on the safe side and try everything we got as a spice level 1 or 2. Both were good, but definitely more mild so next time we'll try 3 and 4 spice levels! read more

Came here for lunch. Extensive menu, lots of different food from different parts of Thailand. Everything was delicious. Drinks were delicious as well. read more

Food here is pretty great flavor wise! Food pick up was quick and easy. They didn't notify me when the order was complete, so I showed up around the time that the initial message said to wait (30min) and the food was ready. Pad Thai: flavorful! I liked this version of pad Thai and the portion size was great! Chicken was dry unfortunately. Crispy Garlic chicken: level 2 spicy had a good bit of heat and good flavor. Also had good texture. Love when they keep the box on top and vented in the to go bag! Pad see ewe: beef was surprisingly tender and tasty! Get the beef! Pretty standard noodle dish Pineapple fried rice: the pieces of pineapple were sweet and juicy and cashews had a good crunch. Again, the chicken was so dry. Sad, because the other textures of the dish were good. Not much curry flavor though. Overall, this is the Thai spot I'd go to in this neighborhood! Tasty and good portions. Just don't order chicken as your protein other than the crispy garlic chicken! read more

Solid spot for Thai food! Fern Thai is tucked away on a relatively quiet street in Cap Hill. We came here on a Sunday evening and got seated immediately. We ordered a tofu pad see ew and duck curry. Both came in big portions. The tofu pad see ew was good but a little too sweet for my liking. There could have been a little more tofu as well. The duck curry was delicious. The duck meat was tender and there was a good amount of curry to go with the rice. Overall, Fern Thai is great and is a slightly cheaper alternative to other Thai restaurants in Cap Hill (i.e. Sugar Hill, Bai Tong). Personally, the lighting is a little too dark but the interior is very nice and cute. We'd come back to try their weekend brunch menu. read more

Fern Thai in Capitol Hill is absolutely fantastic. I had the Tom Kha soup, and it was honestly the best I've ever had. We also ordered the crab fried rice and Pad Kee Mao, and both dishes were excellent. The dishes aren't just spicy -- they're incredibly flavorful and clearly made with care. This restaurant has officially made it onto my must-visit list anytime we're in Seattle. read more

Not your usual neighborhood Thai spot, but maybe something different worth a try! Ordered the fresh spring rolls with shrimp - definitely a little unusual in my opinion. Lots of lettuce and no rice noodles. The dipping sauce with it was quite good! They definitely take their own interpretation on what I consider Thai food. Absolutely adorable inside decor, and fantastic service! Definitely worth a stop if you are in town! read more

This wasn't just the best Thai cuisine, but the best cuisine I've had in a long time. I dream of the crispy garlic chicken I had there at least a few times a week. I even ordered crispy garlic chicken at my typical local Thai restaurant to try to re-live the magic and all it did was make me miss Fern Thai even more. I live in Tacoma and cannot wait to get back into that area and eat there again. The atmosphere and decor was enchanting, the service was so wonderful and friendly. I really have to get back there. read more

The food is okay, but nothing special amongst the numerous Thai restaurants in Capitol Hill. The pineapple fried rice was a bit bland and the raisins gave a bit of a surprise but overpowered the much-needed pineapple flavor and the rice was a bit too crunchy. The pad kee mao was a bit less bland but the size of the chicken pieces were very variable and the strength of seasonings could've been stronger. read more

I went to the Fern Thai location in Belluve and enjoyed the food there, so I wanted to check out this location. The food was good here, though the Belluve location is slightly better. The nice thing is that this place is not as booked, so you don't have to wait long for a table. You can customize the spice level, but it varies from dish to dish. Some items we got was not spicy at all at 0 spiciness while others was mildly spicy at 0. * Duck Curry 4.5/5 - The duck was tasty, though not very meaty. Half of the meat had bones that I had to eat around. The curry was yummy with lots of flavors. The different add-ons such as lychee, apples, pineapple, and bell pepper made the dish more interesting. It was supposed to have cherry tomatoes, but I didn't get any in mine. I got spice level 0, there was still a little spicy kick to it which I didn't mind. * Strawberry Lychee Lemonade 4.5/5 - Refreshing sweet and citrusy lemonade. * Pineapple Fried Rice 4/5 - Good but a bit plain. * Pad See Ew 5/5 - This came with yummy and chewy noodles. The dish was very flavorful. The egg was soft and the meat was delicious. read more

Phenomenal Thai food accompanied by a gorgeous interior. Stumbled across this place randomly and decided to try it out, so glad we did! The pad see ew was so flavorful and had a delicious char to it. The kow soi was on the sweeter side but when mixed well with the chili oil it balanced out nicely. The salmon in herbs was also sweet, but the freshness of the herbs complimented it well, and if you like a sour citrus addition i recommend adding lime to it. The staff were ready to answer our questions and provided us with our refreshments and dishes promptly. read more
