Kati is the place to go if you: a) have a large party b) need to make a reservation c) have at least one vegetarian in the group It takes reservations by phone and I luckily got a table for 8 on a busy Saturday night. It's by Amazon offices, and the prices are inflated accordingly--entrees go for $15+ and curries don't come with the typical complimentary rice. I've also been warned to stay away from the pad Thai. That aside, I shared a khao soi--curry with egg noodles and tofu and veggies. This was a well-balanced dish since we got fragrant spices, carbs, and protein all in one. Plus, the curry was so flavorful I was left scraping the bowl till the end! Dishes seem to be hit or miss, but the menu is so expansive that it'll please even the biggest meat-lover. While I wouldn't go out of my way to come here on my own, this would be my go-to for groups larger than 6 people. read more

Kati Vegan Thai - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

...absolutely incredible vegan twists on Thai classics w very large portions @ reasonable prices. In addition, the staff is very helpful in explaining unfamiliar dishes. The interior is cozy, simple, and no frills. Great lunch spot imo. However, be warned that cooling is dependent on the breeze from open windows & doors so you will definitely sweat. read more

One of the best vegan Thai joints I've been to, easily. So much flavor and such, clean, open environment vs. some of the other Asian vegan venues in the city which struggle with their vegan offerings. Granted, not the most inexpensive place to dine in - two of us cleared $200 for dinner, but we both eat quite a bit and it was well worth it. read more

I'm a big fan of Kati Vegan Thai. My wife and brother are both vegan so we've been a few times in person and ordered takeout. It's some of the best Thai food I've had in Seattle, and the whole menu is vegan! My only qualm is that it can be a bit pricy and some of the appetizers/sides cost too much. ($3 /side of rice), but I'm happy to pay if it keeps this place running! On my most recent visit we ordered the Pad Thai and Pumpkin Curry, both of which were great! The Blood Orange Margarita wasn't amazing but I enjoyed the Thai Iced Coffee (which I think was made with coconut milk). read more

Hands down the best, coziest, tastiest, and most memorable Thai dining experience. We chose to sit at the bar instead of on the patio, and it proved to be an excellent choice. Our bartender was knowledge and friendly, and food and drinks arrived promptly. Hope to visit again. read more

Kati Vegan Thai - Thai tea + bourbon : thairish tea - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I'm officially turned on to vegan Thai food. Kati is right near my work and though my coworkers frequent this spot for lunch, I've never really felt inclined. Ended up coming for HH one day and was surprised at how flavorful everything was! My favorites included the fried cauliflower, fried mushrooms, and tofu satay. I love the spicy flavors typically associated with Thai food and this place did not differ. Drinks were also tasty. Service was a little forgetful but overall very warm. I'm told that during lunch, there's a buffet where you can fill up one takeout box and one soup container as full as you'd like for one set price. It's also generally enough food for 2 meals. Overall, would recommend if you want to add something new to your lunch/HH rotation or want to visit somewhere veggie friendly. read more

I love the devil wings! They are spicy and crispy, and so different! My favorite entree was the green curry! The eggplant is fried so it's not mushy, but the flavors are there and it is rich and so good with rice. On the other hand, I am a little disappointed with the pad kee mao, I expected more for a restaurant and its noodle dishes. Nevertheless the devil wings and the green curry are enough to bring me back on my next work trip! read more

"Kati" means coconut milk in Thai - What better represents Thai food than coconut milk really? You've gotta try this place if you love Thai food or just good food in general! Unlike traditional Thai restaurants, they have lots of other creative menu options. Plus the ambience in the restaurant is really nice. Service is also pretty good! :) I'm already looking forward to going back when I visit Seattle next time! These Garlic Jackfruit with Sticky Rice and Angle Wings are so good. Also try their Green Curry with Organic Purple Rice. You won't regret it. Follow more of my food adventures on IG: https://instagram.com/sydneyy read more

Fav Thai place in Seattle. Love their Khao Soi, cauliflower bomb, spring rolls which are consistently so good. We also tried their Tom Kha, Red curry, Kua Gai and purple rice. Love how the food isn't too spicy and is very comforting. Dessert - The mango sticky rice and coconut fancy with fried plantain and coconut ice cream are not to be missed! The food is a little on the pricier side and the portions are little less in size. But every dish is 100% vegan and yum. read more

Kati Vegan Thai - coconut fancy - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I was actually surprised by how much I liked this place! I am half Thai and I was a bit skeptical when I saw that everything on the menu was vegan. We ordered the pad Thai and kuay tiew kua gai - which would usually have chicken but I still found it quite enjoyable without the meat. It was also my first time having Thai iced tea with coconut milk and I loved it! Still had a nice creamy texture. Definitely would recommend checking this place out even if you are not vegan. Plenty of tasty options to choose from! read more

I am rarely in South Lake Union, and was excited to get to give this place a try. We showed up just before the rush and got seated right away. The space is small but well utilized and beautifully decorated. It does seem very loud in there, even when not crowded--some acoustics issue, but not a big deal. Service is fast and attentive. We got the portobello mushrooms and broccoli for an appetizer--WHOA! So flavorful and delicious. As a long time vegetarian, I have a lot of portobello trauma (remember when this was like our ONLY option???) but these are so good! Entrees were a little less exciting but still fresh and flavorful. We didn't get dessert but a table near us did and it looked great and I was jealous. Seattle doesn't have as many vegan options as one might expect and I will definitely return to this gem. read more

Khao soi has a good flavor and a bit on the spicier side if you don't like spicy. The server did warn us it has a kick of spice...a kick on a high note. I added artichoke hearts in the Khao soi as I love artichoke. The red raw onion is a good add to it...you would need to put noodles, onion, beansprouts in the spoon to get one bite of all texture and flavor. Delish! read more

I have always had meat options with Thai food and was skeptical of trying a vegan option. Safe to say that I wasn't disappointed at all. Right from the appetizers to the entrees, everything was on point. The pineapple fried rice was my favorite along with the cauliflower bombs. My second favorite was the pad keemao. The place has a nice vibe and is a perfect place for hangout with friends or even a date. read more

If you are looking for a vegan place in south lake union area, I'd recommend it over standard American style vegan Veggie Grill. read more

Kati Vegan Thai - Outside - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Firstly, I love vegetarian/vegan food. Not a vegetarian or vegan, but I love when it's done well to emphasize the beauty of vegetables. Knowing that Thai food is one of those cuisines that inherently offer quality vegetarian/vegan food, I had high hopes for Kati. Not so surprisingly, I had an amazing dinner here. The food was tasty, and accentuated the vegetables quite well. They offered a variety of common and unique Thai dishes. I got Khao Soi and my wife got pad see ew, and we shared tofu satay. The khao soi had tasty, rich curry broth. Neither too sweet nor too salty. I wish it was a bit more spicy, but it had plenty of flavor which worked quite well with the noodle. The pad see ew was very good. The noodle was cooked perfectly, and the medium spicy had a decent amount of kick. The roasty flavor worked really well. One thing that was a little disappointing was just lack of veggies. It was mostly noodle, and didn't have much veggies. The tofu satay was quite good. I think they used soft tofu, but I felt that it was little too soft. Not much of texture besides the outer fried texture. It would've been better with firm tofu with "meaty" texture. Overall, I was quite satisfied with their offerings. While I do love conventional meat, I'd be happy to visit Kati again for quality vegan food. I wouldn't miss meat at all while I'm here. read more

Neighborhood staple for me for consistently good thai food, especially when I'm entertaining vegan guests.

Some of my favorites include: Apps - very snackable angel & devil wings , garlic jackfruit on sticky rice and cauliflower bombs Curries - Massaman & green curry Noodles- khao soi & pad keemao Good spot to go family style and try a few things read more

We got food to go from here last night. Food was absolutely delicious! They have an exotic menu with jackfruit and banana blossoms in various dishes. Everything we ordered was perfect and the sauces that came with each dish were very unique. Very well packed in boxes lined with banyan leaves. Never had such amazing Thai food in a looooong time! Highly recommend this place. read more

Kati Vegan Thai - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've been wanting to try this place for months. I finally made the drive to Seattle to get the Pad see ew & veggie noodle soup. This photos was taken when I got it, just a few minutes after my order was ready. I felt like there should of been more broth like the photos from Facebook they post. (I'm going to post the photo of the soup from their fb to show the difference.)I thought the glass noodles would be thick, like the Korean type but these noodles seemed more like vermicelli noodles. The broth was bland & I had to throw some spices into it. I should add that I did sub broccoli for mushrooms & celery. I don't know why I got so much green onion when I didn't ask for it, and it doesn't mention it on the description. The pad see ew noodles were all broken up and short. On their website it says "wide noodles", the noodles I received were not thick. The flavor was okay, but I've def had much better. I wasn't a fan of the fake egg (I think it was tofu). I would of requested that it didn't have that if I would of known they were going to put it in. Also, their outside dining option isn't really outside dining. It's just to go (you order online) and they have a few tables outside for you to sit at. I want them to do well, but it's pretty lame to post beautiful photos of their food, but actually give out subpar dishes that don't look ANYTHING like the actual food. read more

Located in South Lake Union this Vegas restaurant is a surprise as it serves their style of Thai food. Replacing meat with jackfruit. Their Thai ice tea and coffee and classic and delicious. This was my first time trying jackfruit. I now can see why people use this as a meat substitute. The staff is very friendly and even made sure I got my hat back after leaving. I highly recommend trying this restaurant and then crossing the street to the public garden. Walking off your meal while enjoying the numerous plants and flowers is a great way to end a date and this really. read more

First time here after a co-worker couldn't stop raving about their food. Kati's is on Meal Pal, so my co-worker constantly has this at least once a week. We went as a group of 4 and got seated quick enough. It wasn't too crowded even at peak lunch time hours. We opted for the menu and sit-down instead of the buffet, but I am really intrigued and want to try that next. Seems like a great, flat-fee way to try a wider selection of their menu because I'm very intrigued! I had the Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles) and was super satisfied. I love the thick noodles and portobello mushrooms! Serving sizes were large so I ended up having leftovers, just enough for lunch the next day + a pot sticker. My co-workers had the pumpkin curry (highly reviewed), yellow curry (finished the whole bowl), and Old-Style Pad Thai (also inhaled). We split an appetizer of the pot stickers and spring rolls. I'm usually a pot sticker fan over spring rolls, especially if they are just veggies, but these spring rolls changed my mind! I'll definitely be getting another order of those next time I'm in. A couple coworkers had an adult beverage and the Blood Orange (maybe) Margarita was really good! Solid pour and good flavors. I don't remember the other one, so can only recommend the marg. It was same co-worker's birthday. The server overheard us cheers-ing to her and brought her a dessert! Coconut ice cream with some sort of caramel/toffee drizzle! So cute and so thoughtful! Really appreciated the attention! Great, polite staff who went above and beyond! My only complaint was the wait time. While we were seated pretty quickly and served in a decent amount of time, we sat there for a while at the end waiting for our server to come by with the check. It was a bit long and pushing some of our meetings. read more

What an awesome place to get your lunch on a weekday in SLU! We went to grab lunch for a small team celebration and all of us enjoyed eating there so much and loved this place (it was the first time for all of us at Kati). The staff was super nice. We were 5 min early before they opened, but they let us sit and thr table, got us our drinks and watch them prepare the buffet line. The food selection was so good, ranging from noodles/rice dishes and side salad/appetizers/stirfried dishes to soups and even desserts! It's definitely with the price of $13pp (excl taxes/tips). We were all super excited and very happy with the taste (and healthiness) of the food there...so much that we each ate 2 plateful of lunch PLUS another cup of dessert! :))) Of course, later that day, we all had food coma after eating so much there. I adore with this place and would definitely love stop by for this great lunch deal again. It looks like pretty much everyone else who stops by there during lunchtime was also going for the lunch buffet as well (didnt see anyone order a la carte off the menu at all)! read more

Basing my review primarily on bad service. The first time we came it was packed and we gave them the Beni fit of the doubt. They messed up orders and the food came out very slow. The second time we were only three tables and they completely messed up the order. We waited for 30 mins only to find out they marked our order complete on their system. We lost appetite and left with only kids eaten. My husband and I did not get our food. The deal breaker - no apology or anything. Regarding the food- the devils wings is really good. The tum kha soup is good. The coconut ice cream is alright. We also tried their drunken noodles which is good. Over all I would probably recommend the place. But don't take guarantee for the service / experience. read more

As a non-vegan, I can't believe I'm saying this but it's quite good. Ordered a few noodle dishes and curry dishes. I would say the curry is spectacular and noteworthy. The noodle dishes were average to say the least compared to other non vegan Thai places in Seattle. I would come here again for curry but take out because a small bowl of rice is 3 buck which is predatory in my opinion because you can't eat curry without rice. And the curry does not come with rice. The green curry was the best dish here. Good spice and flavor. Curry 5/5 however rice prices -1/5. I give this place a 4/5. read more

Pros: Nice restaurant and vibes, friendly servers Cons: Small portions, high prices, mediocre flavor My boyfriend and I ordered the sweet and sour tofu with veg, eggplant larb, and papaya salad. The sweet and sour tofu had like 4 pieces of tofu in it, it was mostly peppers and onions. The larb was ok, I'm used to larb having way more flavor. And the papaya salad was just ok too. We were still hungry so we ordered rice and tofu skewers. The tofu skewers were the best part thanks to the peanut sauce it came with. At the end of it, we spent around $75 for small, mediocre tasting food. I honestly regret going here, I've had much better (and bigger) vegan Thai food for cheaper. read more
