Went with a large group here. A smaller group was super nice and gave up their table to offer the larger table to us. Small place and I only a few tables. My friends convinced me to order a sake (coconut and lemongrass flavored) and it was delicious! I had the phad kee mao and the platter size was perfect for one person. Flavors were super yummy. One thing I noticed was that the food came out rather quickly! I'd return here again. read more

So good. The wide flat noodles for the pad see ew was delicious, even tho I wish they had a soft tofu option. Not sure what is in the Thai hot wings sauce but wow, the lime umami flavor was addictive. Also their hot oil is spicy! One of the best hot oils I've had at a restaurant. read more

Rarely a long wait at this place! The service was fast but there were not too many customers in house, maybe one other party at lunchtime on a Saturday. We ordered: - Basil fried rice: pretty solid. Tastes a lot better than it looks, the basil was super fragrant and nice. Large portions also, my friend easily took home half of it for later. - Herbal crispy chicken: like an elevated orange chicken? Very crispy and marinated. I got this with a side of turmeric rice, the turmeric was very subtle. I also took home a large portion of this for later bc their portions are so large! I can see myself ordering takeout for their fried rice in the future!! read more

Yummyyyy! The food here was classic comfort Thai food. I was super hungry after Skiing, so I ordered the drunken noodles. They were delicious! The Thai tea was also really good. They were able to sit a pretty large party of around 10 people on Sunday night. The vibes are casual which is nice for a quick bite of delicious thai food. Their portions are also fantastic. They were also very nice and patient with our large group. As we were leaving they gave us spring rolls to eat later. I probably waited too long because they didnt taste very good after being refrigerated, but it was still very nice of them. I will come back here if I ever want quick and yummy Thai food. read more

We went to Manao on a Friday night after a beautiful day of hiking. We were looking for something to refuel and warm us up. This place was busy but had a couple open tables. We ordered at the register and were given a number for our order. I had the boat noodle soup which was a spicy beef soup. It was tasty and I added a lot more spicy sauces to get it to my spice preference. My friend ordered the wings and they were decent but nothing too crazy. Great place for a quick no frills meal. read more

I think I would do a 3.5 for this, it was good and being able to try a variety helped solidify that ranking. Got pad Thai, pad see ew, pineapple fried rice, spring rolls, fresh rolls and pandan sticky rice. The pad see ew was saucy and fairly standard (ate the most of this), the rice was standard as in flavors you'd expect but I wanna point out the rice was fluffier here with big chunks of pineapple, the pad Thai was a little bland for me, pandan sticky rice had hints of pandan, spring rolls were a little bland and the fresh rolls were full of vegetables and bursting (the sauce was really good). Requested a side of chili oil since there was no option to modify the spice levels for each dish online, the chili IS MOUTH NUMBING. read more

Good food, quick service in a cozy setting. It's a self service kinda place. Place an order and wait at the table and food will arrive soon. The service is quick even on a busy day. The veggies are freshly prepared and taste good. Apart from plain white rice, I liked everything else I ordered. I will recommend them to everybody looking for a quick stop for a decent Thai food. read more

One of my favorite Thai places. Good food, good prices (for Seattle). I have had many of their dishes but keep coming back to phad see ew and phad kee mao. Also a fan of the tom kha soup. But everything I have had is tasty. Friendly, efficient staff. Ambiance is informal: you order at the counter, they bring the food to you, you get your own water and bus your own table. read more

This is my second time here. The most delicious Thai food I've had in Seattle. You order up front cash or card. After ordering, you'll receive a cup of for water and utensils and find your own table. I came here at noon on a Thursday and it was not busy. I appreciate the blend of modern street food vibes with contemporary eatery. Plenty of vegan options to choose from. While some menu items have meat by-default, there is a green V icon to show what can be made vegetarian/vegan. Make sure you check menu for default spice level. I've had both the Basil Fried Rice and Phad Kee Mao (drunken noodles) which were both knock-your-socks-off delicious! My noodle dish today was perfectly charred and flavorful. I will be back here again very soon. read more

It quiet enough to carry on a deep conversation. You order at the counter, take a seat and they'll bring the food to you. The food was good.

I bought food from here. I'm a very well customer. Their service is very rude. They always seem like they have an attitude. They are not BLM. I paid $17 almost $20 for my pad Thai for me to get only one piece of chicken. Literally I would not pick this place if it comes to family or date or you're just alone food is definitely not worth it , there is way better places than here. A good suggestion would be cherry Thai on Cherry on street , rework hard for our money to spend it with ungrateful people , I will be posting this on every social media and app , I also got the video on TikTok ! Please get this place outta Captiol hill and out of business they don't deserve are community and LGBTQ Family and BLM , they are so rude . I'll be letting friends & family know , Update: I got home and ate more , THERE WAS FREAKING HAIR IN MY FOOD ! read more

My partner and I love coming here. The portion sizes are always filling and the flavor is delicious. We always get the papaya salad, which has such great flavor, and either the panaang curry or pad see ew, which are both delicious. The service is quick and kind! We do both takeout and dine in and both are 10/10 read more

Food was not good. Crying tiger=chewy and the sticky rice was old and very very small. Basil fried rice= not good. The girl at the counter doesn't care about what you are ordering and she doesn't think an average white guy knows anything about Thai food. read more

Amazing food, amazing staff. We'll for sure be returning. Wonderful place to eat. Great to have in the neighborhood.

Manao's Thai dishes had great flavors the couple of times I visited. The Phad Thai was perfect paired with Thai Tea. The restaurant itself is clean and welcoming. The second time I went, we went with a larger party ordering a variety of food and everyone enjoyed everything. Highly recommended! read more

Came here for takeout on a Monday evening! Very easy online ordering menu. Lots of options for different dishes. I ordered the crispy chicken! It was very tasty! I wish it had a little bit more rice and a couple more veggies but a good amount of chicken. It was very crispy but a little cold when I got it. The service was very fast and ready when we arrived! The inside was nice and cute. Overall a nice meal! read more

solid thai food, couple unique dishes like yellow curry fried rice which you don't see often

This is a vegetarian review. We really like the pineapple fried rice here. So far it seems to be the most worth it dish on the menu. I'm not entirely sure if the portions for dine-in and takeout are the same. So doublecheck the price and check for yourself. The spicy eggplant is also tasty, but the eggplant texture itself was a surprise compared to other places that serve this dish. I would stay away from the taro spring rolls as they were a strange texture and taste. In terms of dine-in the ambience is no frills and chill. My understanding is that you seat yourself after ordering at the counter, but a server will come by to help clear the table. The seating yourself creates awkward issues with patrons who come in with larger groups who save themselves a table before ordering. Prices are classic Seattle, not cheap nor high end. Parking is a huge hassle here, so takeout is a good stress-free choice. read more

The pad ba mee was too sweet and somewhat disappointing in flavor beyond that. The fresh rolls tasted like they had been made with bagged salad mix and were not very fresh tasting unfortunately. My partner had the herbal crispy chicken and said it was fine but his least favorite of all the Thai places we have tried. His crispy pandan leaf chicken was bland. The menu does have a lot of vegetarian options which is nice, and the prices were pretty reasonable too. You order at the counter and bus your own table, but something that was very off-putting was when they propped the door halfway open on a 45 degree rainy evening. Several folks mentioned it or put coats on/moved tables but it remained propped. It's a casual ambiance. Overall it was fine but I wouldn't go back or recommend it over the other Thai spots in the area. read more

Fast, casual food spot. You order at the front, find a seat, and they'll bring the food to you. My husband and I ordered the kao soi gai, herbal chicken, and Tom kha. The kao soi was super thick. I definitely like it on the thinner side, similar to how it's made in chiang mai. Maybe it's a different region's twist on it? Who knows, but I thought it was ok. Herbal chicken was good - fried chicken with a nice savory sweet coating that'll stick to your bones. The rice it came with definitely was on the older side. Probably two day old rice lol. Tom kha was pretty standard, I wish it had more coconut milk. Overall, decent place for lunch and pretty quick with food delivered to the table. read more

A top-tier Thai restaurant, especially in Seattle. It's my local favorite and my go-to restaurant when showing people Seattle. It is a decently small place with little seating however the service and overall atmosphere is amicable. However, since my last review, the food quality has definitely gone down a bit. The Pad See Ew is still good, but it wasn't the best I've ever had. It is also worthy noting that the food has taken a long time to be made since I last reviewed it. I remember Manao being quick to serve, however now it takes 30+ minutes to get my order. Food and Drink Recommendations: Pad See Ew (with Tofu): Out of all the Thai places I've ever had this dish remains my favorite of all time. It has the perfect blend of flavoring. They don't add too much spice (which I prefer) but they have crushed chill peppers on the side that you can spice up to your desire. If you come here you HAVE to and MUST try the Pad See Ew. Thai Iced Tea: This is also my favorite drink in all of Cap Hill. It's just so good. It's perfectly sweet with a perfect blend of flavoring. read more

I always get the Panang Curry with Chicken and it is delish! Be sure to say either "extra mild" or "no spice" when ordering if you're like me and have acid reflux or digestive problems. Cause as great as their Panang is, the in-house chef will light your world up with spicy heat & you'll most definitely have a sweaty brow and beads across your upper lip if you don't warn 'em in advance. But they respect my frail dietary preferences and I almost always have a great meal from Manao's. I love it so much I usually buy two orders so I have another ready for the next day when the longing of the previous night's meal sets in! So, Enjoy! read more

We had originally planned to get ramen down the street but the line was a bit long. So we decided to try Manao just a few doors down. We had perfectly prepared crispy tofu for a starter. I had cashew chicken with vegetables and my partner had the egg noodle soup with spicy barbecue. Portions were generous. Both were excellent. Highly recommended for a quick, tasty meal in Capitol Hill. read more

My friend took me here for dinner on a weeknight, because he had been wanting to try it - and sadly, it was only alright for both of us. We ordered the spring rolls and some of the chicken wings to start; we with the sauce with the spring rolls was more flavorful. For the chicken wings, we thought the sauce was delicious - but the wings with the dry rub were okay. My soup was good and hit the spot - but I definitely prefer my soup with more coconut. Overall, it was a good dinner - just nothing that blew me away. read more

Manao Thai Street Eats - tom kha - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This past Saturday we were craving some spicy pad thai so we came here for some takeout after having some drinks at a little get together with some friends. The restaurant was pretty empty for a Saturday evening - they only had maybe 2 or 3 parties seated, but they had a steady amount of people coming in and out for takeout. The place looks more geared for takeout as there is a huge menu and a cashier right as you enter, not too many tables for seating, and a large takeout area where you pickup your order when it is ready. We ordered the pad thai with beef and the basil fried rice with pork (you can choose either tofu, pork, beef, or chicken at no extra cost). I asked the worker if we could make the food spicy and she instructed me that they have a spicy seasoning you can add on the side. I grabbed the chili flakes and the chili oil on the side. The food was ready piping hot in about 10-15 minutes. The food was well-packaged and the portions were larger than most other Thai restaurants in Capital Hill. We added the chili oil to the pad thai and let me tell you - it had a really good kick surprisingly and we only added about half the tiny container. We also added in a full container of the chili flakes but it didn't seem to have too much affect. The pad thai was slightly darker/seemed more soy sauce based than what I was used to and did not have has strong a tamarind taste as I would have liked. Also, the beef was slightly dry. The basil fried rice stood out and was bursting with so much flavor - I would highly recommend. TLDR: quality and quick Thai comfort food that I would want to eat especially if I am craving something spicy, but would probably choose a different protein than the beef in the future. read more

Bad food, poor service and higher prices - two stars. The Zesty Crispy Chicken was insanely disappointing. It tasted liked frozen fried chicken that was doused in mayo... the rice was the best part of the meal. In the past, I've tried a handful of their dishes: the noodles have a lot of room for improvement and the fresh rolls could be more neatly wrapped rather than falling apart. Every time I've come here, the women working the front have been cold/apathetic. All this being said, $19 (including tax) for this chicken dish is overpriced. read more

Great restaurant and very delicious food . I loved the green curry . Nice ambience and light music . Good service . Our server Paul was amazing . I will come back . read more

I liked the vibes here and it smelled so good walking in, but overall it was an okay place for Thai (and there's nothing wrong with okay). * CRISPY ROLLS These came out piping hot from the deep fryer. Inside was mostly cabbage and not a lot of clear noodles, carrots, or celery. The wrapper was crisp and crunchy. Instead of the usual sweet chili sauce they provide a sweet and tangy plum sauce. It would've been better if the sauce was more viscous though so it wouldn't just drip off the egg roll. * PAD THAI For sure not the best pad thai I've had and this was lacking in flavor - no complex smoky, charred flavor from the cooking, no taste from the tamarind paste, no savory taste from the other sauces used. I also thought it was so weird that a Thai place doesn't take requests for spice level. They only had dry chili flakes on the table so you could adjust the heat that way, but it didn't hit the same way. They are pretty stingy on the protein but it was a generous portion of noodles even though it looks small in the photo. This is a 'you get what you pay for' situation - cheap eats but don't expect the best tasting food. read more
