    Great spot for Thai food. The red curry and Pad Thai are both solid choices. Their heat level goes from 1-3, and level 3 gives you a good spicy kick without taking away from the flavor. Parking is on the street and may take a few minutes to find, depending on the time of day. Good food and definitely worth trying.

    Sausage & Phad Kee Mao

    I love Isarn! They have the best steak salad ever! It is tangy, spicy, full of flavor. It's my favorite dish at Isarn. I also love their wings (great deal on happy hour), the sausages and phad kee mao noodles. Everything taste fresh and always delicious. Cocktails are great accompanying the Thai food. Isarn is great for all occasions or anyone that's adventurous to try pretty authentic thai food. Parking can be a bit difficult on a busy day but it's worth it. There's a couple of parking garages a block or two away. Wait is always reasonable and food comes out around 20 mins. Service is always warm and nice. They have a small bar on the right side perfect for 2 wanting to get happy hour or the dining room if you're here with family / friends.

    Have wanted to try Isarn for awhile now and boy are we glad we did! Came early at 5pm and beat the crowds. We ordered family style for maximum culinary enjoyment. The firecracker cocktail was definitely spicy and a little bitter, a wonderful combination with our meal. I just have to say that Everything was delicious! The northern curry was different, a hint of sweet, exploding flavor, very good. We were pleasantly surprised by the salad. I don't like papaya, but this was Good! Minced lamb with basil had good flavor, light sauce and phad Thai was amazing. Spicy chicken soup was my favorite. Fried chicken was tender and juicy with a crunchy skin. We will be back!

    I have been going to Isarn for over 7 years now and it has never let me down. Whether you get an amazing noodle dish, the amazing chicken wings or nibble cups, or the currys(and many more) you can't ever go wrong. The service is always so friendly and good.

    Thai Grilled Beef Salad*
    Kimmy L.

    Isarn Thai Soul Kitchen is one of my FAVORITE Thai restaurants on the Eastside. They have a second location in Seattle too. My favorite dishes are the PHAD SEE EIW with chicken ($16.25) and the THAI GRILLED BEEF SALAD (cooked medium) ($20.50). The PHAD SEE EIW has the perfect sauce balance of sweet and savory flavors and comes with broccoli and carrot. The noodles are super long and wide so you know they are fresh and not from the box. The THAI GRILLED BEEF SALAD definitely has a kick to it. This dish comes with raw cucumbers, carrots, onions, and basil and is served in a tangy and umami fish sauce vinegar mix. The beef is extremely tasty, tender, and well-marinated. This past visit, my friends and I also tried two new dishes that I've never had at Isarn before- their CHIANG MAI NOODLES (aka Khao Soi) ($17.25) and the MINCED LAMB WITH THAI BASIL ($16.50). The CHIANG MAI NOODLES were beautifully presented with a nest of crunchy egg noodles on top of a creamy yellow curry with soft egg noodles underneath. It was served with pickled mustard cabbage and onions for extra punch of flavor. The MINCED LAMB WITH THAI BASIL reminded me of Vietnamese larb. However, this dish was more savory and less tangy than larb and the basil really shined through. It is quite oily though so make sure to enjoy it with a side of JASMINE RICE ($2.75). Portions are generous for all dishes and I always leave with leftovers. The atmosphere is modern, clean, and trendy. It's a great place for catching up with friends and not too loud. I will say the restaurant is a bit on the darker side, but that's just how they set the ambiance. Service was good and we got our food promptly within 15-20 minutes after ordering. It took a bit of time to waive the waiter down for to-go boxes, but they were attentive otherwise. Note that Isarn doesn't take reservations and it's street parking only. However, they have a waiting list kiosk inside the restaurant and so if they're busy, you can sign up for notifications and walk around the downtown Kirkland shops while you're waiting. Overall: 5/5 for food, 4/5 for service, 5/5 for atmosphere

    Fire Cracker Jumbo Prawns
    Helen C.

    Isarn Thai serves up a totally unique menu of Thai food and this location in Kirkland does get extremely busy. Went on a Friday night with a group of 5 and waited about an hour before getting seated. Unfortunately, you can't join the waitlist ahead of time and when your table is ready, you gotta be RIGHT THERE as we literally walked in 30 seconds after they called us and didn't leave a message, but the staff informed us that they had given our table away. Luckily, we just got the next one available, but felt like a needlessly stressful experience. Jumbo Firecracker Prawns (4.25/5): Spring rolls and shrimp had a baby. Crunchy outside with tender shrimp and sweet chili sauce - a perfect appetizer to share. Isarn Fried Rice (4.25/5): A fried rice unlike any other. Was my personal favorite dish of the night. The rice kernels were separated into individual grains and coated in grease in the best way possible. I'm a kale hater, but the combination with salted eggs and the purposefully chewy fried steak pieces was just super delicious! Northern Style Sweet Curry (3.75/5): The curry itself is fantastic: super balanced between savory, fragrant, and sweet. The steak chunks unfortunately were just a bit overcooked and chewy. Durian Sticky Rice (4.25/5): Sticky rice has a super satisfying chew and I appreciated that the sauce wasn't overly sweet. Durian itself was sweet and creamy with just a touch funk. If you've never had durian before, this is a fantastic intro.

    Special Duck Noodle

    We visited Isarn Thai with a friend after a tea tasting in the area. We've visited the Lynnwood location before and overall had a good meal, albeit perhaps a bit too sweet, but figured this location would continue the trend of higher quality Thai food. Chiang Mai Curry Noodles ($17.25) - This dish has excellent presentation, with a large serving of crunchy fried noodles adorning boneless chicken thighs in a creamy yellowish red soup base. The thin curly egg noodles are hidden underneath all the meat. The taste is on the sweeter side, although they provide a bit of chili crisp and some lime to help balance things out. The chicken is a bit overcooked, although not too far gone, so while it's approaching being tougher in the interior, a quick soak in the broth helps moisten things. One of my friends who ordered the same dish complained that their chicken was still cold. Mine was warm but I guess they keep the pre-cooked chicken in the fridge before adding it in later so it can be hit or miss depending on how long it sits in the soup and how thick the slice is. I took some of the broth home and the next day I found it to be sickeningly sweet without the noodles and meat, similar to drinking dessert soup. (4/5) Phuket Pork Belly Stew ($17.95) - This dish has a strong pork flavor, and as with the khao soi, it's very sweet. It might be a misnomer to call this Pork Belly Stew as there is far more pork shoulder than pork belly included (probably 80+% pork shoulder). Looking at recipes online, it's supposed to be all pork belly, so I feel like Isarn does this to save on cost since shoulder is cheaper than belly. That kind of irks me given the name. If the name were just Pork Stew, I'd be fine, but I definitely expect much more pork belly since it's in the name. (3/5) Jasmine Rice ($2.75) - The bowl is about as large as that the pork stew is served in. The rice is a tiny bit too much on the moist side, so it's very soft and tender rather than giving too much texture. It's decently fragrant and is really needed for the pork stew. I feel like the food Isarn serves is a little too sweet for my preferences. Other Thai restaurants have a little better balance to their dishes, allowing some of the other flavors to be more pronounced rather just puckering sweetness. Isarn also seem to take some shortcuts in the cooking process that are detrimental to the dishes in the long term. I really enjoyed my first meal at Isarn Lynnwood a couple of years ago, but since then I feel like there's been a drop in quality. It's still not a bad choice for more modern American Thai food and I'd happily return to try some other dishes if a friend wanted to eat here. Bathrooms - Two large rooms shared with the rest of the building tenants beyond a long hallway and through a door.

    Vegan-Mushroom Fritters
    Katrina M.

    This restaurant has just become my new favorite Thai place on the Eastside and it's largely due to one dish, their mushroom fritters! Everything else we tried was novel and amazingly good as well but you can't miss these fritters if you go! The mushrooms at light and coated with the most heavenly crispy and light batter -- heck it's a big plate to share but truth be told, I'd be happy if they were all MINEL! Also loved this warm coconut dessert they had if you're a fan of young coconut! Coconut cream, pieces of young coconut shredded for you and mochi balls...yum!!

    I came here with my friends (group of 6) on a Friday evening and while we had to wait for a table, the food was worth it! We didn't have to wait too long, and the staff was kind enough to combine a few tables together, since it is a relatively small space. They do not take reservations for large parties on weekends, unfortunately. We got an assortment of dishes, all of which were tasty and decently priced. My favorites were the pad see ew and the curry and I would definitely recommend. I also tried the tropical passion mocktail which was on the sweeter side but was very refreshing!

    the classic "mango sticky rice" dessert - can't go wrong with this
    Chris E.

    Legendary. We've been eating here for so many years now, I'm surprised I've never written a review. Isarn Thai already has a great reputation so there's not as much motivation to repeat the obvious points tied to great food, very fair prices, friendly service, and something for everyone, including cocktails and vegan offerings. It's a 5 star experience for sure, but if I had to point out any downside, it would be that this location is always busy and there can be a bit of a wait, even during off hours. Kirkland parking in this area is also not ideal, especially during bad weather (i.e. you can always find parking if you're willing to walk, but walking in bad weather makes it that much less motivating to make the trip).

    Emily J.

    We really enjoy eating here and ordering takeout to go. The food quality is the same whether you eat there or take it home to go. We have been here a few times for happy hour and really enjoyed the happy hour menu and the drinks. My favorite is the mussel omelet. It reminds me of the Banh Xeo at Vietnamese places. I wish they gave you more lettuce though because it is extremely greasy. I also really like all the noodle and rice dishes, you really cannot go wrong. My husband enjoyed the snapper and would highly recommend it. Besides the food being good, the atmosphere is fun and the service is fast. The food doesn't take too long to come out and the servers are nice and attentive. It does get very busy during dinner though. If you don't want to wait, I would go during early dinner. Otherwise there is often people waiting outside for a table.

    Natasha B.

    So good! Different menu than a classic Thai restaurant. Drinks were good and the servers are really nice. It's a small space but they open the doors on nice days. The roti was a little too oily but everything else was great!

Not very busy when I went at happy hour/dinner time on a Friday night, but the place is busier later at night on Friday/Saturday during the warmer months. Sometimes they have events and DJs. Sat at the bar and tried out some happy hour specials. Got the Korean sauce wings ($12) and cheese truffle fries ($8). Decent amount of fries, definitely has cheese flavor but not that much truffle oil aroma. I liked the wings which you get 6 per order. They weren't fried, but rather tender and juicy. Sauce was agreeable. Definitely enough food for my dinner. As for the drinks, I got the rosemary mule which is Moscow mule with some rosemary herb. The copper mug they use is good sized. Tasted refreshing although could feel the alcohol afterwards. Also tried a corpse reviver no. 2, which was a little sweet but has a punch. Cocktail prices are not cheap outside of happy hour, in the upper teens. Overall, was glad I tried the place out. Will drop by for happy hour once in a while.

We made a reservation for a Thursday dinner for our anniversary a few weeks in advance as we have done times before. When the hostess goes to seat us, we were brought to the table that you would only want if it was the last table available (no view, in the middle of the walking area, by the doors back to kitchen, no vibe, all hassle) we politely ask to move up to one of the several two tops available at the front (it was not that busy of a night) We sit. We wait. We wait. We finish the entire carafe of water. We wait. Finally our server comes to ask us for our cocktail order (30 minutes after sitting, we were on the cusp of walking out). Our cocktails take a while, which again is odd since it is not a packed house. Not once does she come to check in. Another 25 minutes passes and our waitress finally comes over and says our drinks should be there soon, and finally asked if we wanted to order an app, we did. 35 minutes after our first drink order, cocktails finally arrive. They were good. Fun James Bond theme to the list. We finished both cocktails and two appetizers. Our entire table was cleared by the busman and so we continued to admire the scenery before our waitress remembered we existed and came around to ask our order for entrees (We sat with no drinks and no apps for a very long time. The table next to us even commented on how long our service and their service was taking having noticed us sitting there with a cleared table). From order time of the main course until our food arrived - maybe another 25-30 minutes. When our food came, we were expectedly hungry and just perplexed from the experience. Food was good. Prices went up due to the economy. That's fine. It is expected these days. Again our table is cleared, our waitress again remembers we exist - drops off a dessert menu unenthusiastically. Walks away. We definitely didn't want to have to wait for dessert at this point. We let her know just the check would be fine when she comes back around and she changes to be especially bubbly, friendly and enthusiastic for the first time all evening - minutes before dropping off the check which had a surprise of 3% service surcharge. Didn't say what the service charge was for. Didn't mention it inside the menu. We later found out by looking online that it is listed in small print on the bottom of the back - it's for the option to use credit card and you are charged this before you put down a card or cash. You are then taxed at the 10%+ sales tax for this added surprise charge. People in our party often pay or split in cash- this is improper. All to conclude with minimum suggested tip at 20%. You wouldn't accept this service at a pub, a dive bar, or a proper fine dining restaurant - you shouldn't accept it at what this place has become. This was our first date night in while and a special celebration for our wedding anniversary and it truly affected the evening and made us feel like we had wasted our time and our money that could have been better spent elsewhere. We wish we had walked out after the first 30 minutes of waiting to place a drink order. Save your money, you'll get better service at most anywhere else (we skipped the affogato and tiramisu we usually order and went for dessert at Burgermaster instead) That efficient and friendly busman was oddly the highlight of the night and the saving grace from this being a one star experience. Cheers.

The birthday dessert with a yuzu jelly topped with meringue and edible flowers added the perfect finishing touch to our meal. The ambience, food and service were all a home run for me. That says a lot because VERY few restaurants are able to achieve the perfect trifecta of all 3. Hopefully they will keep these high standards up! This is now one of our favorite restaurants in Kirkland and we've already told all our friends to come check it out.

The food is quite good. I wouldn't call it authentically Mexican, but rather a contemporary, slightly elevated interpretation of Mexican cuisine. Personally, I would have loved a bit more of those bold, authentic Mexican flavors to come through, but overall, the dishes were enjoyable and beautifully presented. The staff was genuinely warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout the evening. I did change my mind shortly after being seated and asked to move from indoors to the patio. Our hostess, Aguilera, gave me a quick look that said, "Really? Already?" but was very gracious and accommodating. In the end, moving outside was definitely the right call! The wooden chairs indoors look beautiful but become a little uncomfortable after sitting for a while. The carved seating cocoons along the walls are visually striking and add a lot of character, although they're probably better for admiring than for a long, leisurely dinner. The outdoor seating, on the other hand, was very comfortable. The biggest opportunity for improvement is the acoustics. Conversations really travel and bounce around the interior, which naturally leads everyone to speak louder just to hear each other, creating a bit of a vicious cycle. During a busy dinner service, it can get quite noisy. That said, I'd absolutely come back and happily bring friends or visitors for a memorable dinner. My preference would definitely be a nice-weather evening with outdoor seating, where you can really enjoy the view and atmosphere. Pro tip: Ask for a Carajillo! It's a Mexican espresso cocktail that can be surprisingly hard to find done well. They have one here, and it was delicious, beautifully presented, and one of the highlights of the evening.

I would almost rather go to Tex-Mex and eat this. Maybe I came on an off day for the ceviche but both my wife and I didn't want to finish it. drinks also not very special. Much rather eat upstairs. Happy to change my review when the quality and flavor of the food improve.

    In searching for a place to dine while staying in Kirkland on a Saturday night, we stumbled upon a…read morereal gem. In asking for a table for two we were immediately seated at a high table with a view of the lake. The wait staff was cordial, profession and very friendly. When we asked for recommendations, we jumped on it. A Flat steak grilled to perfection with an onion marmalade and bleu cheese chunks, Roasted smashed potatoes with a delicious cheesy sauce, and prawns with cheesy grits. I had a lovely red wine to pair with my steak and honestly, it was a wonderful evening with my wife of 33 years and a night on the town just enjoying the cooler temps - we're from the Phoenix area if you're curious. We will be back. Loved this establishment - and the fantastic staff.

    I came to RockCreek with my best friend for happy hour, which runs from 2-5 PM, and it was a great…read moreexperience overall. We initially sat outside, but the staff let us know that happy hour is only available inside. It was a little different than expected since the weather was nice, but no big deal. We moved inside and got settled with the happy hour menu. Our waiter was excellent throughout the entire visit. He was attentive, checked in on us often, and made sure we had everything we needed. We ordered some drinks and started trying different dishes. We got the calamari, oysters, paella, and crab cakes, and everything was really delicious. The calamari had a nice presentation and came with a sweet and sour sauce. My only small note was that there seemed to be more vegetables than calamari, but the flavor was still great. The oysters were packed with buttery garlic flavor, which was amazing. The paella was simple but incredibly tasty, and the clam was cooked perfectly. The crab cakes had a great crunch and came with a white sauce underneath that tied the whole dish together. Overall, RockCreek's happy hour was definitely worth checking out. Great food, good service, and a fun spot to enjoy with friends!
