Locals ;): If you know, you know ... am I right? The unassuming doorway is just there to throw off the throngs. This place is one of those hidden gems. You get downtown and are JUST trying not to get gouged by all the touristy places. It's a minefield. NO MORE. THIS is my go-to place (shhhh). I searched while in Pioneer Square for a Thai place on my way to Pike Place. TADA. This place was the JACKPOT. I sat on a bench and ordered my Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles) with chicken. It was ready for pick up JUST as I got there on foot. Nice sealed container full of incredibly flavorful wide noodles, onion, plenty of chicken (no complaint there), peppers, BASIL (fresh) and sauce. I requested a bit of spice and they delivered. This is my new Seattle secret that I plan to enjoy every time I'm downtown. In a city of less and less businesses that are NOT touristy .... I was THRILLED to find this friendly, generous provider of soulful food. (BTW: I ate off that portion for DAYS. It just got better & better!) read more

This was a quick group lunch from our office. It was just a block or two away so seemed like a great place to try. There were 6 of us and they got us sat quickly with very little wait time. We had a mix of food as everyone got something different. I think i just ordered the wrong thing as i was not a fan. I had the Rama noodles with chicken. Honestly when the plate was placed on the table it looks totally unappetizing. The brown sauce on top is bland and there was no spice( even though i asked for it). I didn't want to harsh judge so I did try it. I'm just not a fan at ALL of this dish. A coworker had the same thing but with beef and she had the same experience. Service was quick and friendly. Very clean spot. I just do not recommend this item. read more

Ferry Noodle House - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Delicious food and great service. Their portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable.

Food service was really quick and the food came out hot. I really liked the ratio of veggies, meat and noodles and the flavoring was good. I was a little disappointed because the noodles were stuck together in some parts and the sauce wasn't fully mixed in. read more

Ferry Noodle House - Phad Kee Mao - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

My Seattle local friend took me here for lunch. Loved the food. I ordered Curry Fried Rice and it was mind boggling.. spicy & made to perfection. It's a casual dine in place tucked in an alley way in Downtown. Would love to try their curries next time. My Best Fried Rice in Seattle so far! Highly recommend for locals & visitors. read more

Ferry Noodle House - Curry Fried Rice - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The Ferry Noodle House is a great Thai spot with great people working there. It's super convenient to and from the Seattle ferries, the federal building downtown, and other businesses in the area. There's surprisingly a lot of dine-in space for a business lunch or group of people. The value is great, despite other restaurants in the area increasing prices, the Ferry Noodle House has maintained reasonable prices for hearty portion sizes! I would definitely choose this place over the chain Thai restaurants in Seattle. It's a hole in the wall gem that's worth visiting for lunch. You won't sacrifice flavor and taste here and your wallet will thank you! read more

Only open M-F from 11am - 2pm. Tom Yum Soup was 10 stars Pad Thai was great as well. read more

It was so bland! I got pad see ew and those were the most dry and bland pad see ew I ever had!

This is my go-to lunch spot when I'm craving Asian food during the work week because it's quick, reliable and affordable for the portions. I've tried a bunch of noodle dishes and have always been happy with the food. I especially like their ba mee heng and pad see ew. I'll have to try their basil fried rice next time because that looked really yummy as well. Take out is your best bet during lunch because it gets really crowded and busy. read more

They are a lunch spot favorite but I ordered the orange chicken with brown rice and to my surprise it was awful. Chicken was dried and huge chunks with a teaspoon of sauce at the bottom. They put two tiny pieces of oranges that I guess made it orange chicken? read more

There boards on the window and chains on the door, it's a whole in the wall, the pit stickers weee good, the garlic chicken tasted like fish, the massaman curry as fine although the peanuts were soft, an indicator this stuff was made way before I got there, the Thai tea was disappointing. I would not repeat unless I wanted that zombie apocalypse overpriced crappy food vibe, and it took forever. read more

Avoid the pharmacy Thai that taste more like ketchup than traditional pharmacy Thai sauce. And the tofu that is deep fried to a crisp thru & thru. read more

I come here for lunch sometimes with my work team. We usually make a reservation ahead of time (there are around 6-8 of us depending on the day) and as far as I know they've always been able to accommodate our group. The food here is good. I get the basil or ginger tofu (they're both vegan!) with 1 star because I can't handle too much spice. My less frail co-workers go for all 5 stars and sometimes even that isn't enough for them. On average though a 1 or 2 star seem to be doable for most folks. I've heard my teammates speak highly of the drunken noodles, with varying degrees of spice level. My one make complaint is the service is sometimes slow in terms of bringing the food out. Most times I've been there, at least one person in the group had to wait for a longer than normal period of time to receive they're dish while everyone else is chowing down. read more

Ferry Noodle House - Basil tofu - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The best yellow curry I've had in years. Appreciated the freshly cut, carrots and onion, and the amazing flavor. The Rama noodle with peanut sauce was equally as delicious! read more

Located in a busy downtown location in Seattle, this restaurant was a nice respite from the hustle and bustle of Seattle with a delicious taste of Thai food. For a downtown restaurant, there was ample seating for my party of eight. We were able to quickly get to a table and service was quick and professional. The lunch menu was reasonably priced and I noticed that everyone got really decent portions. I ended up ordering the pad see ew (sp?) noodles. Many of the others in my party got the pad thai. Food was delicious and nicely seasoned. Thankfully I ordered a 1* spicy level. I have a feeling they can really light up your dish with spicyness if you wanted. read more

Good gosh, I didn't realize Ferry Noodle was this close to me, not a stone's throw away but an easy walk downhill. It's just off 1st Ave on Marion going towards the ferry, hence ferry noodle house. Met a friend here for lunch, got there before noon time and was able to get seated pretty quickly. They do have lunch combos and such but we stuck to noodles. I've never been here so I got my gateway dish when trying out a Thai place and got the Pad See Eiw w/ tofu. It was quite good, flavorful, off the hot wok, good amount of noodles for a good portion. FYI, the tofu is fried. They seem to go pretty heavy handed on the spice and I got 3 stars and it was pretty spicy where it made my nose sweat and fog up my glasses. Whatever. My friend enjoyed her Pad Kee Mao and totally ate it up and really enjoyed her lunch too. Service is fine, pretty quick to take your order and bring out your food and clear out them plates to get the next people to sit. You may not want to sit and hang after your lunch as you will see the line waiting for a table grow & grow....you don't want to be "that person", do you? Anyways, pretty good place for lunch, prices are good and my noodles tasted fine. read more

Ferry Noodle House - Pad See Eiw w/tofu - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Got the Pad thai with tofu, noodles were overcooked and broke in smaller chunks. Great spice selection & chilis though!

Came here on Halloween---I'll be honest: at first a co-worker and I wanted to go to Bibimbap, but we went next door to Ferry Noodle House instead because Bibimbap was closed for a week due to family emergency (until November 6th if I remember correctly). Even though we didn't originally intend to come here, this place was rather pleasing for a few reasons. First, I'm a big Thai food whore, and any Thai place in the Downtown/Belltown/Capitol Hill area I want to know about. #Thaifoodwhore Second, this place has a nice ambience. It was Halloween though, so the waitresses and waiter were wearing costumes, so I can't really tell you how they usually are on the other 364 days of the week (or do they dress like that usually? hmm). We ordered the spring rolls, yellow chicken curry lunch special, and pad kee mao AKA drunken noodles. The spring rolls were nice and hot. They were surprisingly bland though. I guess the plum sauce that came with it was supposed to make up the blandness. The yellow chicken curry was typical of Thai curries I've had in the past. Good spicy kick to it. The lunch special came with vegetarian pad thai. My problem with the pad thai is that it was a little too mushy---having it a la dente might have been better. Also, the pad thai did not include a lime or enough bean sprouts. I guess that's what happens when pad thai is included as a side. However, the pad kee mao was really good! We ordered it 3 out of 4 stars, and that was kind of spicy, so be careful with anything more than 2 stars if you can't do spicy. In conclusion, the food here was alright. I've had better Thai food, but it's pretty decent here. I would come here again! read more

Came here with my supervisor last Friday for lunch. Lunch hour is busy here! It's a sit down place, not like other places where the food is in hot trays and you order combos. We ordered: - panang curry lunch combo (comes with Pad Thai and white rice) $10 - fresh tofu rolls - pineapple curry Very filling! I like their panang here better than the Thai 2 Go across the street from my work. A good lunch spot. Nothing overly amazing, but I would come back. read more

Ferry Noodle House (my friend!).. long time, no c! I have been waiting 2 come 2 this place again 4 some time, 2 finally do my fresh review of it. I used 2 come here a lot, when my lunch crew n I used 2 work closer. no other Thai place around dt (downtown) or ct (Chinatown) even come close 2 here. Although there is Thai Curry Simple, which I like, but I like Ferry more overall. no Mok Bang 4 this review.. (Korean style, where u film urself eating n do watever..!) I might just do that, a Mok Bang style review 4 the next place I go 2 n review... ! ha ha well, here comes the climax, thesis, moral of the story, or simply the moment u've been waiting 4!.. I got their chicken pud see u, 0 star w/ crag rangoons the chicken pud see u was the same as yesterday.. ever so consistent, I mean, it was like, it didn't change (which I like).. the perfect Thai style cuts of chicken, crinkly patterned carrots and American broccoli w/ the perfect seasoned soy sauced wide noodles.. just, ol', so, good..! the crab rangoons were good, crispy n creamy I debated on getting their Thai Iced Tea n Coffee b/c I usually order that in the past, in combining the 2 in making it 1/2 tea n 1/2 coffee.. so good! the service is superb n this place is busy as always, ppl come, ppl go, happy in, happy out the only change from last time is, the prices went up $9 for Pud n $8 for rangoons best of the best around dt n ct that is.. read more

I tried the Phad kee mao, Phad Thai, green curry, Panang curry, Thai Fried rice which I tried through a catered event. I found that the food was all pretty mid. The meat in the dishes was dry and the tofu in the curry was unseasoned. The curries had ok flavor but everything was kind of lackluster. I will say that I assume everything was ordered at the mildest spice since it was catered for a large group so it might perhaps be better at a higher spice level. read more

Disgusting "cleaning" practices. I personally witnessed how this restaurant "cleaned" its commercial kitchen appliances. After business hours last night, 4/25/23, a guy with a van hauled the disgustingly filthy, greasy appliances down to Post Alley below the restaurant, and stretched a hose from the bridge above, where he power-washed the biohazardous material onto the Post Alley brick roadway, with no drain or cleanup in sight. This biohazardous practice is unlawful, filthy, and only 2 blocks away from the Seattle Waterfront. read more

This is the very first time since last year that I haven't been to this restaurant because COVID19 made me WFH. I returned today and it didn't disappoint me.The food I ordered was still delicious as before, the staff remembered me right away which made me feel very impressed. It seems like a long time that I hadn't been living the same life as usual ,like ...when it was a lunch time that I would always come and eat at this restaurant. Until today that has returned again. Not just a great service that I had but its also bring me a good memories that I can feel of the old days all over again^^ Thank you Ferry Noodle House for always taking a good care of me. read more

This is such a cute restaurant. Very tight but very cozy. I came here with my husband and in laws after a day of walking. We all were fairly hungry and crazing Thai food. We got calamari, which was very delicious. I think my mother in law got Tom son? It was a spicy soup. I ordered garlic chicken, my father in law got their pad Thai and I forgot what my husband got. It was something chicken. I wasn't blown away by the side of pad Thai that I got, but the garlic chicken was great. My only complaint is that you didn't get enough chicken for the price. A few strips of chicken laid on top of a large bed of veggies, and while I do love my veggies, I was hoping for a little more chicken. Everyone else seemed happy with their meal, which was great. They even let us bring our huge stroller inside, which is a huuuge plus! read more

This place has some of the best lunch specials in Pioneer Square for Thai food. They also do a really good job if you want to order takeout on the fly or want to schedule or book a lunch party from 4 to 8 people. I have been coming here from the first month and go to Seattle back in June 2003 and they have barely increase prices even with the Pioneer Square district growing so rapidly. The staff is friendly and kind and they can also make your food extra spicy if that's what you prefer(I like 5 stars ). I would recommend a pad Thai or the swimming Rama. They also do a really good job with their cashew chicken, and they have a good selection of Curry's that all taste very good. read more

The green curry was watered down and tasteless. The last couple times I've ordered food here the quality has gone down a lot. Food was tasteless and prices have gone up read more

Stopped by to pick up a quick lunch carry out. The Phad See Ewe was superfast and delicious - I'll definitely be back.

This is in the same space as the old Cilantro, but it's undergone a complete makeover. There's a bar inside now, but it looks like it's essentially a lunch counter - I didn't see any alcohol on the menu. The food is standard downtown Thai - walked in with 4 coworkers, and we all gave our respective lunches a 3 to 3.5. Seems like a reasonably reliable place for lunch - service was quick and friendly, with enough variety on the menu to satisfy everyone. Several items on the menu can be made vegan without much fuss. You'll find it near the beginning of the pedestrian bridge that takes you over to the ferry, at the corner of Marion and 1st Avenue. UPDATE 5.24.2008: this place is just getting better. I'm finding myself getting lunch there twice a week, and it's always crowded. yum! read more

Ferry Noodle House - storefront window - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Had a few items on the menu, but I'm hooked: eggplant chicken, pad thai, and clear broth noodle soup... all good. I love the combo. Terrible happy hour though. read more

The Pad Thai here is very good and they give a very large amount of it. I like the fact that they offer hot spices on the side for me to spice it up even more. Although, the price here is a bit more expensive than I would like to pay, the food is worth it and the service isn't too bad either. I wouldn't recommend the combo since I feel like everything on it seems poorly prepared. I do recommend getting a single entree instead like the Pad Thai, Thai Fried Rice, or their Pad Kee Mao. Those are more worth it in my opinion. read more

The best phad thai in town!! I never heard of this place until Ritual introduced me to them and it was the best decision I have ever made for lunch. It's the real deal. read more

We bought a red curry and phad kee mao take out. The price is decent, $8.95 each. The red curry was ok. Nothing spectacular. But the thing that I smelled most was bamboo shoot. I think they can put less of it, because it's too strong and kinda cover the other seasonings. The phad kee mao was too wet. It felt like it wasn't stir fried, more like just mixed in a lot of fish sauce. Again I could only smell the bamboo shoot. It was way too over powering. And there was EGG SHELLS in my noodles. ‍ I don't think I would be going back again. read more

I've been to the Ferry Noodle House a few times in the last two years. I'm so glad they have partnered with Eat24 which makes ordering online so convenient. You can preorder your lunch and set the time for pick-up. This saves you so much time because the line for lunch is LONG! It's always packed in here, rain or shine. The prices are a little higher than other Thai restaurants, but the quality is good. Because they are so busy at lunch, the service has been a bit spotty - they confuse orders and payment options, so double check you are picking up the right food and all the food you ordered. I recently noticed a sign for happy hour - will definitely check it out soon. read more

"Heads cut off" kind of service, took 15+ minutes to get the takeout (10 minute forecast) But the food was DELISH! I am HOOKed on chicken fried rice these days and they make it very well here. Pretty classic prices (my fried rice was 8.70 after tax) not a single smile from the servers during my experience, but then again.... the fried rice was AMAZING read more

Ferry Noodle House - I freakin LOVE their fried rice! - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Ferry Noodle House consistently delivers great quality, authentic Thai food. There's the usual standby of Pad Thai, of course, but lots of other noodle and non-noodle dishes as well. Try a curry! Try some soup! Definitely have a Thai Tea. I visited quite a few times in the pre-covid era, but they're still doing take-out plus limited seating. And unlike burgers and fries, most Thai food holds up REALLY well to takeout. :-) read more

Really delicious food. I was craving drunken noodles and Tom yum soup on a cold rainy day and the food fulfilled my cravings!

My review can't be considered completely accurate, because I didn't get the chicken green curry I normally use as a baseline for Thai places when I came here. But, based on the dish I did get (forgot the name, but was some beef, bell pepper and green bean dish), I'd say that Thai 65 is pretty average Thai. The portion size was okay, prices a tad higher than I'd like (lunch is probably a better deal), and the dish itself wasn't bad. But, expecting spicy (I said 4 to be safe, but I doubt 5 would have been much spicier), I got pretty sweet with only a hint of spicy instead, which bummed me out. Oh. And we saw a cockroach on the wall. Just putting that out there. read more

*subtly nodded head* heey, pretty cool. your favorite busy lunch crowd and decent wait. easy on the soft lighting and nice wood finishes. we were seated fairly quick given lunch. i thought i'd give a swing at an old favorite of mine: red curry, and picked tofu. *nods... subtly nods again....* purdy good. i really like great bamboo shoots. read more

I tried "Pumpkin Curry" (5 stars) each time it was super good (really hit the spot). My friend ordered "Phad Kee Mao" that was so good as well. The noodle was well cooked not too dried, and not over cooked. And the flavor was just right. I think for the dishes that I tried so far, I have to say they are quite authentic in taste. read more

This place is amazing. I have been looking for a good place to get Basil Fried Rice since I moved away from my home town up north. And I finally found it! My search is over!! Their other food is great too and they are very friendly staff. Very close to the ferry so conceit if you are waiting to catch the boat and their service is very quick even during the lunch rush somehow they magically don't slow down with how long it takes to get your food. They also do take out which is convenient and the staff recognizes your voice so before you even order over the phone they already know exactly what you want. Very nice community restaurant read more
