This was conveniently located next to the hotel I was staying at and so glad that it was. The hotel was oftentimes a bit slow with service so I'd just pop in over and receive great service. The food was also so delicious and the drinks were strong. read more

Nibbana Thai really surprised me. This place is pretty close to where I stay and I'd near tried it but ended up loving the food. The Bangkok Stir fried noodles were my absolute favorite and I've gotten them atleast twice since dining here. The spring rolls were fresh and tasty too, and the pad see eww was great too. Overall, great ambience, good food and very good service. Also tried the mango sticky rice and unfortunately it wasn't the best for me. Didn't really enjoy it. read more

Came here with a large group for family bday yesterday. I called ahead and was able to get seated right away when we arrived. The staffs were all very nice and friendly. We had a lot of different dishes, soft shell crab fried rice, tom yum noodles, pad see kiew, tom Kha, khao sol, pineapple fried rice, boat noodle etc. I enjoyed my Khao sol a lot, the curry soup was dreamy, the medium spice was not too much and just right. Everyone left very satisfied. It was a good place for big party! read more

Went here for a weeknight dinner and was seated promptly. Service was quick. Got the shrimp summer rolls that were served with an accompaniment of sauces - peanut and hoisin and tasted fresh. Got the tom yum soup and Basil fried rice and which were average. They can customize the spice level per your liking. Maybe coz it was a weeknight, the place was quiet and good to relax after a day of work. read more

Not good. The larb tasted like a synthetic grilled flavor. Like liquid smoke but for grill flavor. The garlic chicken was more coating than chicken, and sickly sweet. The sticky rice was barely sticky. Fern Thai is much better! read more

Insanely busy on a Monday noon lunch rush. Short wait but very busy. Service was good . Menu had lots of vegan items. Everything looked amazing. I got the green curry and was disappointed. The curry tasted fine but only had potatoes and tofu in it. Zero vegetables. I'd say mid but I'm willing to try them again. read more

The food was good and the spice was at a good level. My main complaint was that we got charged a gratuity fee when it was supposed to be for 6 people or more. My party was 5 people, so it left a bad impression on me. read more

Amazing thai food. So glad I came with a large group because I got to try a variety of dishes! The interior is clean and homey but it does get a little loud. There is a parking garage really close by which was very convenient. We ordered: - Whole tilapia: this deep fried dish was definitely the highlight of the dinner for me. The crunchy skin and house marinade pierced through the meat inside. I still think about this from time to time. Huge portion, definitely share with your group. - Bbq duck curry: a close second to the whole tilapia. I just wish there was more duck meat but the curry is really creamy and nice. Duck meat was nicely cooked. - Tom kha: we originally ordered the tom yum soup but they brought us the tom kha instead but we tried it anyways. It was my first time having tom kha but it's essentially tom yum but with a coconut milk base (I may be wrong). A good soup to share if you like a creamier base. - Khor moo yang: we were recommended this dish by the waitress but it wasn't that special to be honest. It was good but I wouldn't order it again. - kow soy: also not too special but a good noodle for sharing - papaya salad: nicely sour and refreshing. I always like to get papaya salad at thai places for a palate cleanse. The portion was large but I've had better papaya salad at other places. Not bad but wouldn't get it again read more

Very good food, service is fast and food always good. They have a lot of choice you can easily find what you like. You can adapt your plate easily if you have allergies and they are always happy to do so. During the week it's pretty busy. read more

Nice and simple and well lit place. Went here on a Saturday afternoon around 1pm. Best to reserve. Seated within a minute. We ordered Panang curry , sticky rice, crab Rangoon and motcha zen drink. The taste was good. Only thing is sticky rice came wrapped in plastic film in a small container(I don't know what it's called). I personally don't like anything hot in plastic. The quantity was extremely small. Motcha drink was not sweet on enquiring they told something that goes in the drink might not be sweet that particular day. Crab Rangoon was yum. At last we ordered mango sticky rice and the mangoes had gone bad and they served the dish without checking. They did not charge us for it but I felt sad as that was not acceptable to serve something without checking. Photos are attached for reference. Taste overall was good but I am unsure of quality. read more

Nibbana Thai Restaurant is a solid spot for Thai food, with a large menu and a full bar. It's changed locations since it's beginnings, but still offers the same tasty Thai food that many in Bellevue have tried. I've never had a bad meal at Nibbana. In my most recent visit, my colleague and I came here for lunch and I had to take advantage of the lunch special for $15.95 where you can choose from a list of entrees, which come with rice and vegetarian phad thai. Not very many places in downtown Bellevue where you can get a lunch meal for less than 20 bucks at a sit-down restaurant. For lunch though, the place gets super busy, so I recommend trying to get here before noon on a weekday when the restaurant really gets busy. I ordered the lunch special of panang curry with beef and a Thai iced coffee. The meal didn't take long to get and it was delicious! I love a good panang curry and the beef was super tender with the red peppers. The phad thai was also tasty, with the noodles perfectly cooked and loved the egg throughout. If you work nearby, this is an awesome lunch special spot. But, the menu also has several other items to choose from, with just about any Thai dish you can think of. I'll have to come back for happy hour sometime with discounted bites and booze. read more

Food is really good here! Service is a bit slow but the place is big and clean. I got the crab ragoon. Can't really taste the crab, it was mostly cream cheese, so I wouldn't get them again. Also got a grilled dish and that was amazing. Same with the pad see ew. read more

Had dinner here with a friend. New to both of us. I had the duck, she had the steak and appetizer. The duck was really tasty and tender. The sauce was sweet. It's not filling though, so recommend ordering rice or an appetizer. Took a long time to get our food and the check. Couldn't order what I wanted to drink due to the language barrier. Tables are too close together, hard to hear once more people came in. Would come back to try more items during a quieter time. read more

Get the soft shell crab fried rice and their appetizers - I think it was a fried chive dumpling ? AMAZING. So crispy and soft with flavor! I got a level 2 spice fried rice and it was not spicy at all.. i could've gotten 3. Will definitely be coming back here whenever I come to Bellevue. Our server was super nice and informative on the spice level. They even give you a little spice rack of 4 sauces as well if you ask for it to put in your food if you feel you want more flavor - my favorite was the pickled jalepenos. Ambiance was ok, a bit crowded in seating, kinda loud, but definitely happy hour and good vibes!! read more

We had dinner here recently, this is their new location. We got Chicken Satay, Tom Yum soup, Pineapple fried rice, and Soft shell crab fried rice. Chicken satay was good. This has always been our favorite at Nibbana. The Tom Yum soup and Pineapple fried rice were good. I loved the Soft shell crab fried rice, it was great to have an entire fried soft shell crab over the fried rice. read more

Super disappointed. Our usual Thai place was closed but I was craving Thai so decided to try Nibbana and regret it. Ordered Pad Thai and Pad See Eww and both were bland. The Crispy Garlic looked like nothing close to what it usually is at other Thai places. It was not crispy at all. More like tasteless, jerky chicken. read more

Have been going to Nibbana for over 3 years now, both the Renton and old Bellevue location near transit center. Bellevue is my preferred location. The new Bellevue location has lots of fairy lights around with plenty of booth, table, and bar seating. Service is quick and efficient but could be friendlier. Always return for the delicious food :) Prawns pad Thai spice 3 is one of my favorites! read more

Idk how Nibbana is rated less than 4.5 stars. I'm a massive fan of Thai food, and they consistently serve quality, if not the best Thai food I've ever had with BEAUTIFUL presentation, cutlery, and decor. I usually order pad ke mao, pad Thai, or pad se ew, but branched out and ordered the "crying tiger" and it was one of the best steaks I've ever had. The papaya salad is amazing and the food is always served promptly. The atmosphere is gorgeous. I can't speak well enough of this place! read more

Nibbana Thai Restaurant - Steak dish (I forgot) - Thai Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

The food was fine, but at checkout, we were asked to pay a 20% tip. The menu stated that for parties of six, the tip was 18%. The server explained that this was an old menu and the new policy was 20% for parties of five, which was not accurate either. We requested that they adjust the bill so we could fill in the tip amount ourselves. However, the new bill still included a 20% tip, and the server claimed the system forced it and she couldn't change it. After insisting strongly again, they finally allowed us to fill in the tip amount ourselves. After leaving, we checked the reviews and found that many others had experienced the same issue. It seems this restaurant regularly engages in this practice. If you care about the bill amount, please pay close attention. read more

I've visited this place a few times for the crab fried rice, but this time I decided to try the wonton soup, and I was really disappointed. The soup was overly salty: there were two dried-tastless BBQ pork pieces, and there was nothing remarkable about the 4 wontons. The BBQ pork, which was supposed to be char siu, was so heavily food-colored that it turned the broth red. Seeing two slices of bright red pork leaching color into my otherwise clear broth was unpleasant. Overall, such a bad dish. read more

Nibbana Thai Restaurant - Wonton soup - Thai Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Cool Thai spot on the ground floor of a residential building in downtown Bellevue. It's a square room surrounded by windows on 2 sides, bar at the back. Tables and booths well spaced. Decor is sparse and sleek. For lunch, tried sweet and sour chicken and Boat Noodles. Boat noodles consists of shreds of pork, crispy pork belly, meat ball, bean sprout, Chinese broccoli, onion, cilantro and toasted garlic served in a sauce of dark pork blood. It's a unique flavor vaguely reminiscent of pho but without the noodles. Very tasty. Sweet and sour chicken is a melange of vegetables, sauteed with chunks of white meat chicken in sweet and sour sauce. Seemed more Chinese than Thai - but was delicious as well. Service accurate and friendly, food served within 8 minutes of ordering - quick! Plenty of other options on the menu to try. Will go back. read more

I came here for a work lunch, and I have to say -- it's a 4, 4.5 star place all around! Exactly what you need for a casual lunch/cute dinner spot. Quick Highlights: 1. The combo lunch meals are exactly what I'm looking for. Rice, Pad Thai, and a Protein - and these all create the perfect filling and nutritious combo. At a great price too, around $14! 2. Fresh flowers all around, and on each table. Beautiful touch 3. (Not Pictured) The appetizers were also delicious, the fresh rolls were huge and came with two different sauces, and the crispy spring rolls were probably overpriced, but still good. 4. Happy hour is highlighted on the last page of the menu, and it's M-F 3-6pm, all food items offered that time are $5!! Haven't tried, but definitely would. Overall, I recommend anytime you're craving Thai in Bellevue! read more

We arrived on a Thursday right about noon and it was already getting pretty crowded. Assuming it's the downtown Bellevue business crowd. The hostess was attentive and tried hard to get us seated promptly. The food portions were generous and even though they were busy the food came out promptly as well. I got thePad Kee Mao. It wasn't the best that I've had as I like mine a little bit more flavorful but the ingredients were fresh and chicken was cooked perfectly moist. My mother had the lunch special with phad Thai and yellow curry which was too sweet. But all in all we enjoyed the restaurant. read more

We ordered three dishes, the pad Thai, Panang curry, and gai yang (chicken grill plate). Overall, the food was ok. Pad Thai: very sweet, good portion size Panang curry: pretty small portion size and only came with a very small bowl of rice Gai Yang: for almost $20, you get a chicken thigh and small drumstick Service was great and our waitress was very attentive when we needed water refills! The place is cute as well. I'd say the food itself is 3/5 but the vibes make it a 4/5. read more

Came here for a work lunch with coworkers. We used to go to the old location occasionally, and I would even get take out occasionally. I don't know what it was, but for some reason their food was always SO HOT - not spicy, like 5-stars... it was temperature HOT every single time. It was amazing for taking out food - because it'd still be piping hot when you got it to wherever you were going. Anyway, back to my lunch - it was pretty uneventful food-wise. They had pretty much the same menu as the old location - all the normal, Seattle-area Thai specialties. I'm usually pretty basic and get pad Thai because there's just nothing else like it that I eat. Their rendition is pretty standard - nothing crazy or special - noodles, sweet sauce, peanuts, bean sprouts, etc. They also have a pretty good crispy garlic chicken - fried chicken bites with a sticky sweet/garlicky sauce. Anyway, I'm certain I'll be back. read more

Food was fine but the eastside has a lot of Thai restaurants to choose from. I ordered the larb salad and it was too salty for me. It was however flavorful and filling despite the seemingly small portion. It has a strong fishy/sour flavor so be aware if you are not used to that. I did try some of my friend's "street food" dish and I would say it was tastier. The ambiance and staff however were both nice. They were nice enough to split a check 8 way. read more

Service is also really good. read more

TL;DR: good portions. Fun, different options. Top notch pad see ew. I always base my Thai restaurant opinions on the pad see ew so bear that in mind. I've been here a few times to sit down and the ambiance is great. It's off the main strip enough where it's not painfully busy. Tried a few things on their special menu and appetizers - also really good although I can't recall what we got. I'm always so focused on the noodles! The portions are great and veggies are fresh. Flavor is really good; I always ask for light oil and they happily oblige. If you ask for medium hot - it'll be medium hot. I appreciate that. This is my go-to take out spot. Way better than the other options in the close vicinity (ie rice/spice and racha go). Definitely give it a try! read more
