    This place exceeded in my expectations, their lunch special was amazing, the flavors were on point, good portion sizes, super friendly service, overall I highly recommend and I would come back

    Mango Fish Salad

    We came here on Mother's Day and was seated within 20min- we knew it was going to be a wait because of the holiday. Service was quick and efficient for how busy it was, and our food came out pretty quick. Flavors were delicious,

    Great atmosphere and consistently delicious! ​I'm a regular at Mali Thai Cousins, and they never disappoint. I visited on Valentine's Day, and the vibe was lovely--they had vases with red roses on every table, which was a very sweet touch. ​Tips for your visit: ​Parking & Wait Times: The Southcenter area gets very crowded on weekends. I highly recommend coming for an early lunch or dinner. If you arrive before 6:00 PM, you can usually be seated right away without the long wait. ​Service: The staff is incredibly friendly, and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant is welcoming and pleasant. ​What we ordered: ​Green Curry (with Tofu): We added a side of rice, and it was perfectly creamy. ​Special Ba Mee (with Chicken): Great texture and flavor. ​Phad Kee Mao (with Beef): Savory and satisfying. ​Spice Level: We chose a 3 out of 5, and it definitely has a nice kick! It's "properly spicy," so be prepared if you aren't a fan of heat. The portions were generous, and the taste was spot on. ​Highly recommended for anyone in the Tukwila area!

    Came back expecting the same quality, but the food tasted a bit sweeter than usual. Many dishes felt way to sugary. We were a party of 5 and never got a water refill. On top of that, they automatically added 18% gratuity, even though the service was lacking. Really disappointing.

    Takeout order came with tear-your-own cabbage

    I called them a few minutes before they officially opened, because I was hoping to be able to pick up a to go order on the way to Seatac. I had a tight window, and had to pick up my order not too long after I got there. They had no problem taking my order early, and accommodating our needs. I had to wait only about five minutes when we arrived. (I'd called a different Thai restaurant the night before, and they said they wouldn't start cooking takeout orders until 20 minutes after opening, and then only if the restaurant wasn't busy.) I got a papaya salad, which was very thoughtfully packaged. The cabbage (a HUGE amount!) was packed separately, to help keep it crispy and fresh. The salad was packed full of papaya and tomato wedges, and also included a couple of shrimp, and green bean pieces. Once properly assembled (admittedly, having to tear the cabbage by hand was a bit of a chore), it was very tasty and at least as good as any other Papaya salad I've had recently. The price was very reasonable, the food was delicious and fresh. But mostly it was the service that was so impressive and appreciated.

    Food was great. Service was a bit slow for request on chop sticks, spice rack, napkins, bowls, etc... But it was during busy dinner hours I'd give it that. We did get seated in about 10min. Overall I'd come again and recommend others to this place.

    Pad see ew and thai basil fried rice
    Arielle G.

    Solid Thai restaurant in the Tukwila area! This was my first time trying this place and I loved the interior. The staff was also very friendly and the food was really good. The amount that they give you is plentiful, and the thai teas were also delicious. Thank you and this may be my upcoming go-to Thai spot near home!

    Tukwila has a lot of Thai places that don't taste as good as they use to. Although, I'm very impressed how good Mail Thai still is! Got the pad see ew and thai basil fried rice. This was the BEST pad see ew I've ever had. I was so worried the ratio of the noodles would be off with the amount of veggies in it. But no the ratio was perfect. There was sooo much noodles in there and it was extremely flavorful. The meat was chewy and not dry. That's a first. The thai basil fried rice was unique. Just needed a bit more seasoning to it but it was solid. Came around 7pm on a week day and there was rushes but we were able to get a seat right away. Everybody here was very kind!

    Tammy L.

    This place is my boyfriend and I's go to Thai spot more down south. My boyfriend recommended we try out the Pad See Ew here, and I'm usually not a fan of it, but this restaurant changed my mind. The food here is delicious, the portions are huge, service is always friendly, and the atmosphere is great!

    Great, clean restaurant with a nice feel! The servers were very attentive and top notch! Food was fantastic as I had the Papaya Salad and Tom Yum Soup. Top notch! Will definitely go back!

    Pad Thai, Panang curry (small bowl), Tom Kha soup, Crying Tiger steak salad
    Christy N.

    This place is my childhood favorite. It's not the fanciest, but it's a restaurant I keep on coming back to. All my friends have been going here for years too! I highly recommend their crying tiger salad. It has big pieces of steak, on top of a bed of salad with refreshing lime/fish sauce dressing. My personal favorite is the tom kha. The pad thai isn't my favorite as I prefer pad kee mao, but it's all based on preference. Pad thai still tastes good. I can't say I have the best order, but I consistently order the same thing everytime... ALSO the portions are hugeeeeeeeeee!! The service is fine. A lot of young people, but they're great. No complaints. The restaurant itself is small, but cozy. If you're looking for warm and hearty Thai food, come HERE!!

    Hello, I wanted to…read moresay that we absolutely loved the ambiance and feeling of the restaurant. We did want to give some feedback on our dining experience. First of all, I want to give a bit of my background. I have worked in many upscale restaurants and worked with many top chefs, which include Puck, Thomas Keller, and other top chef. I have also owned and managed many restaurants as well. Our waitress was very nice, pleasant and accommodating, however, when she took our order, she did not ask how we wanted our food served. WE order an appetizer and an entree, which I assumed would come to the table one at a time. They both came together, a little unusual, but OK. The $60 king salmon was overcooked and dry, but still very good. The waitress asked how everything was and we addressed our concern about the salmon. Then without a question if we were finished with our plates she picked them up and ran off with them... It happened so fast we were taken aback, because we were not finished with the dish, there was plenty of crab and rice pilaf left on the dish. Finally, it was a special occasion for my wife's birthday, and I had requested that a candle be placed on any dessert she ordered , and that did not happen either. I have had several friends recommend the Copperleaf Restaurant, and frankly I was a bit disappointed for a fine dining establishment. Thank you for reading this,

    Copperleaf Restaurant & Bar is located inside the Cedarbrook Lodge…read more The dining area was inside the lodge, where you could dine in a quieter, more sophisticated, and intimate seating. The outside was nice too as you could enjoy the weather in a relaxing patio area with nature, manicured green grass, trees, with the sounds of the trickling fountain. They also had a bar area for that very casual, louder vibe to just talk and/or catch a game on the TV. We went with the dining area and Julissa was our server and she took very good care of us. She was courteous, attentive, and thoughtful. She recommended a few of her favorites when we asked her for suggestions. Charcoal Grilled Pork Chop: coconut-ginger braised collard greens, grilled spring onion, pork jus, wasabi butter (4/5). The Double cut portion was cooked to medium. It was tender, juicy, and the juices had a sweetness to it. The wasabi butter was good and not overpowering. I'd order this again. Superfood Salad: white bean hummus, quinoa, kale, carrots, blueberries, golden berries, cashews, sunflower & pumpkin seeds, avocado, herbs, feta, lemon-sesame vinaigrette (4/5). My wife really enjoyed her salad. I admit it was full of good ingredients but a tad bit heavy-handed on the dressing. Don't get me wrong the vinaigrette was delicious. Banana Bread Pudding (5/5) - Moist, crisp on the edges, and smothered in warm caramel sauce - this decadent bread pudding paired with vanilla ice cream was absolute perfection! We'd definitely come back the next time we're in the area. Support your local business.

    UPDATE: 3/24/26... As a Yelp Elite member for 6 years, I…read morepride myself in giving fair reviews, whether good or bad. And with the bad, I strive to be positive on the experience that was good before giving suggestions or letting the owner know what fell short. I'm never out to bash a business. Rather, as an owner, if you pride yourself in customer service, you will take what a sincere Yelp Elite reviewer has to say, step back and see how you can improve. I just read the comments another reviewer posted a few days ago and saw that they were berated as well. I had nothing to gain from giving the review I did and it's unfortunate that you're no longer going to be in business, but there were two other people with me that came to this consensus. With that, I will reply to the unfortunate remarks slammed at me, the reviewer. Let me preface by saying I asked for a pic with the owner before tea service started. If it was said that we had a wonderful and lovely time, it was not by me but one of my friends who, when asked how everything was, couldn't think of anything else to say. Also, I wasn't going to express all of this in front of the owner at the time because I had others with me. So, to rebel and ask me if my mother is still alive and did she teach me to behave like this? Well, all I can say is your reaponse as a business owner is extremely childish and unprofessional. I didn't make the food. I reviewed it and if that means it's not the best review, so be it. It pains me not to give a business owner a good review because that's not what we as Elite members strive for. That said, lashing out is not the answer. At least I have the maturity and diplomacy to put these comments in without getting into a mud fight like you chose to do. Review..... My two girlfriends and I came here for afternoon tea. Since I'm the Yelp reviewer, I asked them for their input and so it was a consensus of the three of us. Here's what went right. It was nice to have a carafe of water at our table, there were beautiful flowers and dyed water to match in the vase, the teacups and saucers were very pretty, the owner was extremely nice. Here's what we thought needed a second look. The sign in the store advertised cheese and fruit for the afternoon tea but it didn't appear. When we asked we were told it didn't come with it but we could get some if we wanted. Please revise the sign as people do notice. Suggest you have a selection of three sandwiches rather than two of each. One was a small croissant filled with egg salad and if we hadn't been told that we thought it might be chicken. The other was a cucumber sandwich which although it's nice to have thin slices of cucumber, these were razor thin. Sort of disappointing that there was so little on a beautiful piece of bread. They scones were nothing special. Perhaps have something inside whether it be cranberry, currant etc. The sweets consisted of a Mexican wedding cake which was rather dry and was there a detection of almond extract? The orange macaron, as beautiful as it was, lacked flavor of orange. I was expecting a nice burst of something but it just wasn't there. The fondant on the petit four was much too thick, and sweet. Whatever fashion the raspberry is used, keep a bit of that tart flavor to offset the sweetness from the fondant. The effort was there, things just felt short.

That was not really an option after getting off a cruise with a 4 hour wait for our flight - so airport food it was. Gah. Seattle airport is way too crowded. But I found this little gem tucked away outside Terminal B, and it turned out to be a pretty great, albeit expensive, lunch. It is a little tricky to find. You have to take an elevator up to the second floor, but once you get there, it is worth the effort. Our server was T, Tee, Tea? I honestly have no idea how he spells it, but he was enthusiastic, friendly and quick with recommendations. He suggested adding avocado to our club sandwich, and that was a GREAT call. We also asked to substitute onion rings for the fries for an upcharge. He forgot, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise because the regular fries are AWESOME. Seriously, don't mess with them. The club sandwich and fries were easily enough food for two people. The damage? About $30 with tip. For airport food, that still feels painful, but at least this was actually GOOD. And there is another reason to seek this place out. My husband is a private pilot, so he was completely entertained by the fact that you can sit at the counter and watch planes take off from a level above the ground. Honestly, that may have been the best part. Great little spot, especially if you need to escape the madness of the main terminal for a while.

We sat down to sticky booths that looked like they hadn't been dusted or cleaned in years. I didn't want to lean back and let my hair touch it. That kind of a booth. Next, we ordered coffee. The server said it comes with half and half and as she was about to walk away, I remembered my friend liked milk so I said, "oh don't you prefer whole milk." The server said they serve half and half with coffee and they don't have whole milk just 2% and if we we wanted anything else she could pour water in it. Normally this banter would be fine. This wasn't banter. She was annoyed. We stuck with the half and half. We looked at the menus that were COATED with sticky stuff all over the plastic and falling apart. It looked like a studen'ts notebook after a full year in grade school. We ordered a strawberry lemonade. Normally, my daughter will drink anything. It tasted like chemicals. Since two of us ordered two different types of benedict, the server came with sharper knives. She then WIPED THEM CLEAN with a towel hanging from her pocket. 20 min. later we got our order. Well 2 of us did. Mine was the wrong item so had to send back and they had to make me the correct one. No apologies from our server. We then had to ask for a third place setting. The server got it and when my daughter was using the benedict knife, the server took it FROM HER HANDS and gave it to our friend since she was eating french toast. The food was not good. The french toast tasted like dry bread coated in eggs. In other words, it hadn't soaked up any of the batter. My benedict's hollanaise sauce was in fact, some weird cheez-it mixture... it was orange and congealed. Let me add that it was a Monday at 9:30AM. It was NOT busy. Also word of warning, DO NOT use the restrooms. Just nopity nope nope nope.
