Ate there around 2:30 pm today. It's the best Thai food in Seattle and proper in my humble opinion. Highly recommend the Pad Kee Mao and tom yum chef special. Both delicious! Happy eating! read more

Honestly I was kind of disappointed. Maybe it's cause I wasn't that hungry but the flavors were just alright to me. I want to try it again to hopefully update and improve my rating but until then it's gonna have to stay a 3 read more

This is THE BEST place to order a Pad See Ew... I could eat this everyday! The perfect texture of noodles, flavorful sauce, and they don't skimp on their quality ingredients. 10/10 would recommend!!! We also tried the Pad Thai Baron, which is a more traditional take on the dish. Not as sweet and saucy; they also add banana blossom to this! Very tasty! Again, their texture of the noodles are perfect. This is a really trendy spot that my friends and I wanted to come to. We were bar hopping in Capitol Hill and needed some food. This place was perfect since it was open until midnight and the interior was sooooo pretty! They also have REALLY good cocktails to keep the night going. I enjoyed the Tang-Mo! read more

This place was conveniently down the block from the concert my friends and I were about to attend. We made reservations for 6:30PM on a Tuesday expecting it to be busy, but it was quite the opposite (except for two other couples across the restaurant from us). Ambience is beautiful w/ high ceilings and plants streaming down the chandeliers. We ordered: Pad Thai - Unfortunately I wasn't a huge fan of their pad thai. The dish leans heavy on the savory side w/ a more fried texture and choppier noodles. My friend enjoyed her plate, but I think for me I like the dish saucier + slightly tangy. The presentation was beautiful as it incorporated a banana flower-- peel the white florets and leave the purple outer petals off to the side (accidentally ate a sliver of the purple petal and felt like i was eating a banana peel). Pad Kee Mao + 2 star spice - My friend ordered two star spice for her entree, but couldn't handle the heat... and I think our waiter knew very well as she came over to refill our waters frequently LOL She still enjoyed the meal, but would've enjoyed it more if she wasn't ambitious w/ the spice. Yum Hed Tod - I honestly wish I had ordered this entree instead of the pad thai. The fried enoki mushrooms looked so good w/ the sauce. The atmosphere is great and food is very instagramable. Our first waitress was attentive to our needs, but our second waitress who had come for the bill was visibly annoyed when we asked to split it itemized (four ways, a dish each). If it's a policy not to split or if it was busy we would've understood, but we don't believe we deserved the response she gave us just from asking. Overall, we enjoyed our time up until those final moments. read more

I am so happy with what replaced soi on cap hill. We needed a new high end Thai spot. Seattle is definitely not hurting for good Thai food and everyone has their favorite that hits just right. Sometimes you want to splash out and for that Fern is a vibe, with colorful cocktails that have interesting flavors. The Thai inspired old fashioned and tamarind whiskey knocked it out of the park. The food was stellar with bold flavors and wonderful presentation. The kitchen was super attentive to my gluten allergy (celiac) which is always nice. The spice levels are solid with a 5 having decent heat. The service here was fantastic as well. Food comes out quick and the staff was friendly and wonderful. If you're looking for an upscale Thai spot this should be on your list. read more

I usually come to Fern for dinner before a night out with friends in cap hill. But I recently found out that they now do brunch on Saturdays and Sundays! So I decided to try it out on their first day yesterday. I ordered their Kai Ka Ta which was very flavorful and savory. Their wagyu was a bit bland, especially the beef gravy. The server confirmed medium but it came out pretty much well done. Ube toast was not as sweet as I am used to from other places, and the consistency was a bit thick. Overall presentation was very cute, and will try their other brunch menus such as the crab omelette and bacon benedict next time. read more

The ambiance was nice but some of their seating choices are inconvenient and food was mediocre. The service was wonderful and would constantly refill our water. They even let us stay as long as we wanted after our meal. We didn't have a reservation since we went during the weekday and the restaurant was mostly empty except for a handful of tables with customers. The hostess gave us a small table attached to a pillar with small but high booth seats that made me feel like I was in a high chair. There were at least 8 regular tables open. Most of which weren't occupied the whole time we were there. If you get a seat in this area, I'd recommend asking for a regular table. I only got to try the Khoi Soi and it wasn't what I was expecting. Their portions are big and they do separate the garnishes for you on another plate. However, I found the broth more like a curry texture as it was too thick and heavy on the cream. While I've had Khoi Soi throughout Chiang Mai, Thailand, this honestly was the first Thai restaurant that made it this style. The broth was too thick and the spices were overpowering rather than complementing. They also like to give a mass amount of the crispy noodles on top which takes up space to eat anything else. The regular noodles were extremely overcooked but the chicken was good. Overall, not a dish I would recommend here but the service staff are really nice. I may try something different on their menu if I come back. read more

The atmosphere was what stood out to me right away. You can tell they leaned fully into their fern theme and it really works. The lush ferns flowing down everywhere really give it a nice vibe. It took me going up to them and feeling the ferns to realize they were fake witch just goes to show how well they disuse it. I never say this, but the fake plants actually look really good. They even have brown parts to make it look like some of it is dying. As for the food itself, it seemed really genuine. Our pad Thai came with a banana flower which we had never had before. I don't think it added much to the flavor but it was a nice touch. The pad Thai itself was really rustic and was very savory. Personally I like my pad Thai a bit more on the tangy side and a bit stretchier with the noodles but this seemed like a pretty solid one even if it wasn't for me. The tofu starter tasted like chicken with the breading it had. To me it was a little bland but my wife liked it (and in the end that's what matters). The staff was friendly, answered all our questions and even incorporated the banana flower when we didn't know what to do with it. There is no wifi which was a little surprising in Seattle but not a big deal. As for the price, it was pricier than I am use to but that could be on par for the area. For one person (appetizer and dish plus tip) it was a bit above 40. Overall a great place for the atmosphere, staff, and pretty decent food. read more

Came here for dinner with my coworkers (6 ppl) on a Thursday evening. It was pretty empty when we arrived (6ish) but that didn't underwhelm the atmosphere at Fern Thai - it felt warm and inviting. Our server was super friendly and attentive, always check in with a big smile. We were a group with diverse dietary preferences including vegetarian, pineapple-allergy, seafood-hater... each of us was able to find a range of food options to order from and everyone loved their meals and drinks. My duck curry rice was very tasty! I'll definitely come back for more. read more

This place was a hit for me! We had a small gathering from work for a dinner, and the service was great. They took good care of without being too clingy.

Recommended highly !! read more

fern thai has been on my bucket list of Thai places to try since I moved to the city. I had really high hopes going to get food here as I've heard good things directly from peers and also seen reviews online about it. The parking situation being in cap hill is not so convenient. It's street parking only that you have to pay for, so expect to walk down or go after 9 when it's free. The interior of the restaurant is very aesthetic with neon lights and an abundance of plant decor. There's also a variety of liquor in the bar, many seating & music blasting over the conversations nearby. It was full of people when we went so it was loud, but still a casual spot I would say. One thing to note was the timing; there was no host, so we waited almost 10 minutes before being greeted and taken to a table. When we sat down in the booth, it took another 15-20 minutes for our order to actually be taken... Therefore, if you're looking for fast and efficient service, this is not the place. My table settings were also dirty w/ food residue left on it and I had to ask for a new one. We decided to stay despite all this w/ high hopes for the food and neither of us had eaten that day so we were starvinggg. Still even then the food didn't hit. crab rangoons: honestly fine, not too oily and had good flavoring but could've had more filling tofu fresh rolls: tofu was essentially nonexistent as well as other filling... was 95% lettuce and the rice paper was either not soaked properly or pre-made and refrigerated so it was hard asf. not enjoyable to chew and the tamarind over powers the peanut in the sauce; it was more of a liquid consistency and quite tart pineapple fried rice: I asked in the beginning if this was Thai spicy and the server said yes, but also depends on the chef as some have heavier hand then others. Clearly I did not get a heavy hand chef because my 4 stars barely tasted like a 2 stars. There was also only a few pieces of tofu and SO MANY RAISINS. Every bite seemed to be one w/ multiple raisins and I was picking them out mid meal as it got too much. The rice was also a bit over cooked in my opinion, but the curry seasoning was there and fragrant chicken phad see ew: plain and needed more veggies to balance out the dish spicy lychee rita: pretty good, tajín rim added to flavor profile & easy to drink la-moon: really sweet and thick drink initially due to all the juice, but better after ice melts all in all, it's a pretty spot for sure but nothing else kept up to expectation. the price points are high, but they're in line w/ other "seattle prices." I just wouldn't return nor recommend when factoring that in w/ the inattentive service or mid food read more

My daughter, a friend, and I loved this place. We were seated right away on a Friday night. The food was flavorful and the drinks unique and tasty. The servers were all super attentive, and food and drink presentation were beautiful. Nice atmosphere too, although the music was a bit loud to have comfortable conversation. We'll definitely be back. read more

This place is super cute on the inside and located in the heart of Capitol Hill. If you need a Thai fix, come here. However, I would say there's better options out there. I felt like the food was pretty mid, but that might be because I have to eat vegan at Thai restaurants and that limits my options quite a bit. Unfortunately Fern does readymade preparations so their sauces often have fish sauce within, so I'm unable to order curries. I opted for a basil fried rice which I thought was still good, but really lacking in flavor. I felt like I was just eating plain rice with no basil. The tofu smacked tho. The service was kind, our waiter was nice. :) My friends do enjoy the meat dishes a lot - come for those! read more

Perfect place for a date night Had the pad kee mao and tom kha for our main meal! Everything was delicious and portions are large! Have to order a side of rice with the tom kha but honestly one bowl of rice is good enough to share between 2 people! side note: we got 3 stars spice and it wasn't spicy at all Definitely save room for dessert their Thai tea crepe layered cake was so good, drizzled on top with chocolate syrup, served with berries and whipped cream on the side. I had the cha-bha (hibiscus mai tai) very fruity and if you're a light weight you will feel it. The alcoholic taste was not strong at all however. Presentation of all food and drinks was beautiful Staff is friendly and ambience of seating is nice, would recommend the booth area if possible! read more

Fern Thai Capitol Hill - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Fern Thai Capitol Hill is a lovely Thai restaurant located right in the heart of the trendy and popular Capitol Hill Neighborhood of Seattle. The inside is very chic and modern (as are a lot of the newer restaurants in the area). The space is quite large with a very nice sized bar in the back of it. The kitchen is like semi-open so you can see into it a bit although most of the tables don't face that direction. We came in with no reservation with a party size of 9 and were expecting them to turn us away or tell us to wait a long time, but they very kindly assembled some tables together and had us seated in minutes which was awesome. The menu is fantastic with prices consistent with the rest of Cap Hill - a lot pricier than I am used to in the Midwest, but seemed normal with the other restaurants I visited while on this trip. I ate the Roasted Duck Curry which was fantastic - a little bit of heat, very tender duck, and a whole lot of flavor. I particularly loved the lychee's they included right in the curry. I have never had that before, but it was a very welcome addition. One warning I do have is that someone in our party asked if they could have one of the lovely sounding N/A drinks, but alcoholic and the server said yeah absolutely no problem and it ended up being 20 something dollars because it was charged as two separate drinks basically so would not recommend repeating this mistake! Overall, though delicious food and a great atmosphere. read more

Wonderful decor inside the restaurant to set the mood. It wasn't busy which we were surprised as it is probably the best Thai restaurant on Capitol Hill and I have lived on the hill for over 25 years. Spring rolls had a nice fresh herbaceous aroma. My Pad See Ewe had a nice kick of spice which was well balanced. Family owned and this is their second restaurant with the original one in Bellevue. We will definitely come back! read more

Fern Thai is a fantastic spot for pre-drinks dinner eats. The interior is well designed, extra AF, and beautifully lit. The sausage appetizers come with a healthy portion of two different sausages. The papaya salad also strikes a great balance of salty, sweet, and savory. The dishes all come well presented and in heavy, rustic bowls/plates. Especially the pad thai. The prawn pad thai has some of the tastiest prawns I've ever had. Going to miss this place when I move out of the area! read more

However once we made it we were seated right away. We ordered some fun mocktails, Tom yum soup, pad see ew, khao soi, and i got the chicken plate. All the dishes were incredible.

Went here with my cousins recently and this is a super cool, cute and trendy Thai restaurant in the Capitol Hill area... and they stay open pretty late ! I LOVE their decor, this place is a whole vibe and it smells nice in the restaurant which is another bonus... some restaurants I walk in I think "I'm pretty sure this is how the nazis decorated their bunkers" or "This place smells like the jolly green giants jock strap" but neither of those apply to Fern Thai! They also play great music while you dine. The service is great as well, food and drinks here are pretty good overall but not the best from any Thai establishment I've ever been to. I adore lemongrass and I've had a lemongrass martini at a Thai restaurant in Kent and that one was to die for, Fern Thai's lemongrass martini was okay but definitely does not compare with the one I've had at the Kent restaurant. Not sure if it's just the different brands of vodka or what, but this one was no where near as good. The Panang chicken curry was a delicious red curry with chicken and a nice citrusy lime flavor.. it was delicious for sure but I felt it could have used some more vegetables. I got some sliced peppers in it but I was expecting maybe some chopped zucchini or carrot in there which I have gotten in my curry at other Thai restaurants but no such luck. I didn't get rice with my curry as i try to avoid eating it when possible to reduce my carb intake but I probably should have just got it for my curry since there was a lack of veggies. Although, maybe I made the right choice still as one of my cousins said the rice wasn't good. She said it wasn't like an authentic sticky rice and it was hard and dried out. Regardless of the minor flaws encountered, I still enjoyed my curry and the nice ambience of the place and might possibly return in the future if I find myself in this area again. read more

What a beautiful spot in Capitol Hill! We stopped by for dinner after an evening of wandering around and settled in for Thai food at this girl power restaurant. It's so pretty in here -- I should have grabbed some photos of the decor because it was beautifully lit. Boyfriend and I ordered two entrées and drinks. The standout here was 1000% the lamb curry! It is incredibly tender and fell right off the bone. We were in awe of how delicious it was. Pad thai was very fresh and had a nice twist to it with all the aromatics. Drinks were delightful, and also beautifully presented as you can see from the photo. Waitress was super patient with all of our questions and was attentive even with a busy place. Would definitely come again! Thank you Fern Thai! read more

Came here hungry after coming from the airport and was looking for a quick evening meal. Upon entering, the decor made the interior seem culturally authentic and reminiscent of a restaurant in Thailand (I've never been lol). Our server was friendly and recommended a few dishes. I took one of his recommendations and got the Neau Yang E-Sarn, a flat iron steak with sticky rice and dipping sauce. I was blown away! At this point in the evening, I had stomach pains from an earlier meal that I had during the day and I really just wanted something light. Despite this, I managed to clean the whole plate. The steak was incredibly juicy, well cooked, and had great texture on the outside. The dipping sauce accompanying it was spicy, tangy, and a little sour. I put the sauce on everything because I thought it really enhanced the dish as a whole. The dish also came with some random vegetables that seemed a little old. However, with that sauce it didn't matter. Highly recommend this dish. read more

I love Thai food, and Seattle has an amazing selection of Thai restaurants. Fern Thai did not disappoint - they served high-quality Thai classics and a few impressive specialties too. I strayed away from my typical (predictable) pad Thai order in favor of the green curry, which had a choice of pork, beef, or chicken with eggplant and bell peppers and a great spice level at 3/5. I did have to order the rice separately, which is my only complaint. I don't know if many people who don't eat curry with rice, so I feel that it should be included. Service was great - our server was friendly, though the food came out a bit slow and in waves, which is understandable because we had a huge group of 11. The decor was also gorgeous. I'd definitely come back! read more

First time at Fern Thai in Cap Hill, I have been to the one in Downtown Bellevue before however First off, the interior decor. Super cute, much like the one in Downtown Bellevue. The dining area is open, high ceilings, well lit (which I always appreciate) Servers are fairly quick, they let you know right away that they don't have designated tables they serve so essentially "everyone can help you", which has its advantages and disadvantages however during my meal it was not an issue and the staff was very attentive. Now onto the food. Thai restaurants are a dime a dozen, and you'll always have the classics that you can expect. Pad thai, pad see ew, curry, so it's nice when a thai restaurant has their own signature dishes. At Fern Thai, my go to is their Pla Tod Khamin which is a whole deep fried snapper, they cube the meat and serve it inside of the fish and it is to die for it is served with a spicy seafood sauce for dipping as well. It is a bit pricey at $30 however, fish isn't cheap so I feel it's worth it. Note, it does not come served with rice so you will need to order that as a side. Also, I asked for a side of sauce to go with my leftovers and they charged $3. Had I known I would not have asked, so just be aware! Overall another great experience at Fern Thai, the food was consistent, as was the ambience and service between their two locations. If you're in the seattle or bellevue area, definitely give them a visit! read more

My family and I decided to try this place out for dinner. This place is still fairly new and is still doing a soft opening. When you first came in the ambience of this restaurant gives you a nice and relaxing feeling. The decor gives you an island vibe feel which I love! We were seated immediately as we walked through the door. Staff was very nice and attentive to our needs. Yum Hed Tod: 10/10 Definitely a good choice to start off your meal. The crispy emoji mushroom was so tasty! I've never had anything like it. The fried mushroom paired very nicely with the dressing that comes with it on the side. The combination of ground chicken, squid and shrimp was delicious! Tom Kha with Chicken: 10/10 I usually order Tom Yum when I dine in at Thai restaurants but the Tom Kha did not disappoint! It probably was one of the best ones I've ever had! The coconut milk was not too overpowering and had a great balance. Som Tum Thai: 10/10 The papaya salad was so good I kept coming back for more! The amount of sweet, sour, spice was just perfect! So addicting! It was also a great side dish to enjoy with all of the other dishes we ordered! You can also eat it with the cabbage that comes with it which also taste really good. Thai fried rice with chicken: 8/10 It was recommended to add a fried egg to this dish and so we did! It was a nice touch with the tomatoes and cucumbers. The rice was not mushy but lack a little bit of flavor. There was a decent amount of chicken and egg so we got a little bit of both in every bite. Panang Neau Yang: 8/10 The was thick cut and seared mixed to perfection. The bell peppers was a nice complement to the dish. The curry sauce was a bit salty. You may need to pair it with rice. Phad Thai with beef: 9/10 This is Phan Thai was unique and different from the other ones that I've had in the last. The dish comes out with seasonings on the side. We were told to mix the seasonings in as well as the banana blossom. Both added a nice touch and taste to the dish. To end the night we had the crepe cake and oh my goodness it was so worth it even thought we were all so full. It was light, airy, fluffy, and creamy! The perfect dessert to have after this dinner. We all left full, happy, and content. If you live or so happen to be in the area I 100% recommend this place. You definitely won't be disappointed. You can never go wrong with good food, good company, and good service! It was definitely or first time but not the last! read more
