    It starts with menu and quality of food. Top shelf. I've dined at one of their other locations. Menu selection is great and my fish was rightly spiced, crispy and full of veggies. I couldn't have asked for anything more. My friend had the grilled chicken soup and loved it. Service... My food came out 15 minutes after my friends'. The drink I ordered was pretty watery. Overall not terrible but it's something they can work on.

    I really wanted to give Isarn Thai Soul Kitchen a higher rating because honestly, the food was incredible. Every dish was full of flavor, fresh, and exactly what you hope for when you go out for great Thai food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was just as impressive; beautiful space, great energy, and somewhere you genuinely enjoy spending time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Unfortunately, the service didn't match the quality of everything else. The drinks took a long time to come out, and there were mistakes with our order that shouldn't have happened. It also seemed like there was a bit of a language barrier, which made communication more difficult than it needed to be. You could tell they were trying, but the overall experience suffered because of it. The wait times were honestly HORRIBLE! It's disappointing because when the food and atmosphere are this good, you want the service to complete the experience, not take away from it. I truly believe this place has the potential to be a 5-star restaurant but good food alone isn't enough. Service matters just as much!! It's definitely worth coming here just for the food but unfortunately not quite there with service. 3 Star for food 0 for Service and Wait Times

    Isarn has become our new go-to Thai place in the area, especially when we are wanting a little more than your average take-out Thai. Isarn's flavors and menu are unique and I have yet to have an item that I did not enjoy. We have done both take out and dine in here. I would recommend dine in if you have the chance as Isarn also has a great cocktail menu and having the food fresh out of the kitchen is great, but most of the items are also take out friendly. They don't accept reservations for parties less than 6, and this place can get busy especially on weekends, so eat early if you can to beat the crowd. The staff is always friendly and helpful and it is a polished, modern restaurant that feels both laid back, but like a nice place for a decent date night. If I have I recommend one item, the tropical curry is phenomenal! The pineapple and lychee in the curry really come through and it just adds this additional layer to the curry that is unique to any other curry I have tried before. But, I have not had anything on the menu I have not enjoyed so highly recommend stopping by here sometime!

    I really enjoyed the food and drinks here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This restaurant gave vibes of a trendy restaurant in New York or LA.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I can't wait to return.

    We were greeted warmly and seated immediately. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The servers were friendly, and the restaurant was bustling with lots of people dining in, which created a lively atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the Chiang Mai noodles and a fresh coconut. The noodles were very good--the broth was rich and flavorful, and the noodles had the perfect chewy texture. The portion of chicken was huge; I couldn't even finish it and honestly felt like it was enough for two meals. The coconut was fresh and tasty, and I appreciated that they provided a spoon for the meat afterward. However, it wasn't really a young coconut--the meat was quite hard, so there wasn't much I could scoop out. I managed to eat the cap part, but the rest felt a bit wasteful. Overall, though, the food was good and I enjoyed the experience.

    Vegan Phad Thai,  Vegan-Mushroom Fritters, Thai tea

    Phenomenal staff, food, and service! Great plethora of vegan options, including fried appetizers and Thai tea. Food came out in less that 10 minutes after ordering, and was routinely checked up on by staff. 10/10 recommend :)

    Had an excellent experience at Isarn. We sat at the bar and they had an NBA TV segment on the tv showing Gary Payton highlights - a very Seattle experience. We started with happy hour drinks and wings. We liked the Mini Wings much more than the Lemongrass wings. I got the Crab Stir Fried with Yellow Curry and Jasmine Rice and loved it. Delicious and good portion. The service was warm, attentive, and friendly. We enjoyed our time and definitely want to return.

    Pad see ew
    Johnny L.

    We had a wonderful visit to Kerry Park and I was in the mood for some thai food. My friend recommended this place so I thought I'd give it a try. Definitely did not regret! The Northern sweet curry is very flavorful and flagrant. One bite of the curry soaked in with the rice and a piece of meat and it put an instant smile to my face. It says sweet in the title but it's not that sweet. There's also a chili pepper sign next to it, but it's not that spicy either. I would probably ask them to make it spicier next time! Pad see ew had really soft and tender noodles with excellent flavor and the tofu texture is perfectly cooked. This is the most delicious pad see ew I've had in recent memory. The interior is really modern and beautiful design with plenty of comfy chairs. I love the soft and relaxing music that completes the vibe! The service is absolutely amazing here. They were all smiles and so nice and very attentive as well. I would definitely come back and try other dishes.

    Mango Sticky Rice Martini & Phad Thai
    Frances L.

    This restaurant has amazing cocktail! They have a separate bar where you can eat watch the Thai food channel TV and enjoy your Thai food. This restaurant definitely serve more of a fusion style of Thai Food. If you are looking for authentic one, try looking for another one.

    Phuket Pork Belly Stew
    Valerie Y.

    I was excited to try Isarn after finding out that it's owned by the same people as Kin Len. The menu is interesting, there are dishes I haven't heard of before so I feel like they offer authentic cuisine. We got the lamb massamun and the pork belly stew. I did think the pork belly stew wasn't anything special, especially since the hard boiled eggs were kind of dry and didn't add much to the dish. I liked the lamb massamun, especially because of the roti that it came with! The lamb was fine (overcooked a bit), but the curry itself had a delicious flavor and I really enjoyed the potatoes in the stew. I'd definitely get that again.

    Chicken Phad See Ew and Chiang Mai Curry Noodles
    Emi G.

    Some of the best Thai food I've had! There was almost no wait as well, and I appreciated the pillow included in my booth seating. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a comfortable restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the Chicken Phad See Ew, my go-to order at Thai restaurants - and it did not disappoint. With a spice level 2, it was perfectly balanced and I loved every bite. My boyfriend ordered the Chiang Mai Curry Noodles. I had never tried this before, and it was honestly so delicious. Mix everything together, and there's a perfect crunch. That, paired with the noodles in a delicious sauce with very tender chicken, is delectable. Overall, I loved this Thai restaurant, and will definitely go again soon.

    Southern Thai Curry with Vermincelli
    Ber C.

    Been here a handful of times for dinner and they knock it out of the park every single time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]During dinner rush there can be a wait for a table but the bar area has ample seating and full food service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Every time I've come I have never needed to wait. Service is 10/10, all the servers are cordial and have great recs. Food is flavorful and they have a colorful drink menu ranging from floral and light to more spirit-heavy faire. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Environment is lively and great for small groups or dates.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If there's no street parking, you can park in the Safeway or TJ garages for free up to 2 hrs.

    Salty Crab Papaya Salad
    Kaelin H.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute space and delicious food![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I really loved the wings and the pork skewers and would highly recommend both of those. The northern style curry was good but the beef had dried out considerably. The crab papaya salad was also more Lao style as it was funkier than normal papaya salad! I'd probably go for the Thai style to try that if I was in the area again.

    Do they serve crispy garlic chicken?

    Unfortunately, no but we do have our Isarn mini wings which are coated with a sweet sticky tamarind sauce. Thank you!

This is a pop up hosted at Janet's Stumbletown, a stone's throw from Ginger & Scallion. This is for an initial two month residency Wednesdays to Sundays 11am to 3pm. First, pack your patience finding street parking in this busy retail & residential area on NW 65th. I was eventually able to find a 2 hour slot nearby. I was the first customer in the door for the soft opening. It was great to see both Janet (owner of both Stumbletown and Chocolat Vitale) and Boss onsite. Orders and payment are placed at the register. Good to see JP and his team also at the kitchen line. Various seating at Stumbletown: bar & counter seating, booths, and as one to three tops flanked with a banquette. Pleasant interior with natural light and a decent soundtrack overhead. I ordered the Caesar salad and the House 8oz sirloin cap steak with mushroom bordelaise. I stuck with water, but other beverages can be ordered separately from the Stumbletown bar. The fries/frites are cooked in beef tallow. The sirloin is prepared with a garlic butter thyme baste. The menu has both 4oz or 8oz steaks and three sauces to choose from. I enjoyed the Caesar salad. The butter lettuce was well dressed with accompanying parmesan cheese shavings and tiny croutons. The frites were topped with the steak slices, thinly sliced mushrooms in the red wine sauce, and garnished with finely minced shallots and chives. As my first meal of the day "brunch", overall this was nicely presented and prepared. Packed full of flavor and left satisfied but not stuffed. Just right and completed in about 45 minutes. Doable if one has to get back to work. Might want to get coffee after to stave off any potential food coma, lol. I'd rate this 4.5, rounded to a 5. Great dining choice with earlier hours that's easier on the wallet in today's economy.

    The steak was fine - honestly nothing special. The beef tallow fries were greasy and there was oil…read morejust leftover on our plate. The fries had a texture of dicks burgers so if you're not into that, I'm not sure you would enjoy it. The overall steak and duck kind of just taste like your friend who's average at cooking said they would make steak fries for you- but for $25 (for 8oz) it's not the worst deal in Seattle. The service is what made this whole experience fairly subpar. You have to stand in the middle of the service line to order- there's not enough turnover because it takes them 45 min per party to make and serve your order. So you're just stuck standing in their service line. Cutlery is hard to get- we shared one steak knife amongst 4 people. Water was also a scarce resource. Overall it's a lot of hype without any kind of service to support said hype.

We ordered munchies and drinks while we waited for our table at Delancey. The bartender / server knew we would be headed to Delancey in 40 minutes or so, and handled things well accordingly. We got a plate of olives (tasty, great finger food) and drinks. The Yonder cider was good, not too sweet. The Martini was tasty. I had two quibbles: The first was with the pricing: the martini was charged as two separate items: 1) gin (I suppose the charge varies by the kind of gin or vodka in your martini) 2) martini (which is apparently the non-vodka or or non-gin part of your drink) While I'm sure this makes it easier to track for the bartender and inventory, as well as for charging, as a customer, it's a little odd to have a mixed drink be a two-part charge. The second was the included 20% automatic gratuity. I don't object to the concept of a standard service charge, I just wish it had been more prominently displayed so that I wouldn't have added a 20% tip on top of that (and my tip was on the amount that included tax, service charge and drinks / food). So, buyer beware ... the service is good, the ambiance is nice, the food and drinks are good -- but the payment / billing is non-standard, and can cause unexpected surprises.

I am showing my age by saying the restaurant is VERY LOUD, and our table was in a very dark spot in the restaurant. Oddly, they didn't have enough table lamps for all the dark tables. Our server said they "ran out". How does that happen? I stalked a departing table to take their rechargeable lamp. Anyway, my expectations were likely too high going in, and I was annoyed before even ordering, turning on our cellphone light to read the menu. The food is pretty good, though not mind-blowing good like the reviews suggest, and we had one bad dish. They offer varied Khmer dishes beyond noodle varieties, which is a plus. Go if you are looking for variety, skip the fish, bring ear plugs, and hope you have a brighter table than ours. Parking is street only. 3 Stars for the food, minus 1 star for the restaurant environment (unrelated to staff) The Food: k'tiss dip with crudités, $18 - 4 Stars We chose the marrow stone blue oyster mushroom option - p'set. The mushrooms are sautéed in Khmer seasonings, fermented bean curd, and coconut milk. The veggies are mildly pickled. They paired surprisingly well and a unique dish to try. kroeung kumeraage, $15 - 4 Stars This dish has an option of fried chicken or fried mushrooms. We chose the chicken since we already had mushrooms. Kroeung is the Khmer seasoning. Our server said this dish and papaya salad are amongst the most popular. Since we have a veggie dish, we chose this over the papaya salad (which looks great, too). The chicken is lightly fried, not crispy outside, super tender, and paired well with the kroeung aioli. trei chmouy tuk tei omperi, $40 - 1 Star The menu says serves 2 but not really. The is a pan seared fish, make your own fish wrap. We did not know we ordered a DIY dish, which is ok in principle, just not good to be surprised. The menu doesn't say so; the server didn't mention it. Luckily, by this time of the meal, we have acquired the little table lamp, which enabled me to see the long fish bones that had not been removed. FIVE of them. The noodles are a pathetic overcooked limp pile. The best part is the turmeric sauce. Do not order this dish. Epilogue: I happened to walk by Sophon this past weekend. I was surprised to see a sign saying they are temporarily closed to resolve internal issues. (See photo) That is never a good reflection of management. There is now a GoFundMe for the unpaid staff who had to quit their jobs.
