As a new black man in mill creek I've visited a few businesses that were openly hostile, rude, and dismissive solely based on skin tone. I almost renamed the area bigot creek! I expected the same when ordering from noppakao Thai restaurant so I ordered for pick up. When I arrived I was greeted with respect and a smile that all should expect from any business. The food was hot and excellent with a great portion of food that exceeded my expectations for the price I paid. Again the food was on point and I have to remain disciplined every time I drive past the restaurant. read more

Foods great, though not a lot of people here, the service is nice, the time here was great and calm.

Visited the restaurant on a Friday evening. We were seated immediately. We ordered the Golden Noodles with chicken, Pad Thai with chicken and the kids Chicken Satay with Rice. The food arrived very quickly and we can say that it was freshly cooked. All 3 items tasted good, however we liked the Golden Noodles the most. The noodles in golden noodles were thick and soft. All items were not too oily and very well cooked. The chicken satay was not spicy and a great item for kids (due to portion size and not being spicy). The ambiance is well decorated and quiet. The large first tank was their center of attraction. The best part about this restaurant are the staff - very friendly and welcoming. Must visit for anyone looking for good Thai food in the Mill Creek area. Overall a great experience and will definitely visit again.. read more

Noppakao is a nice Thai restaurant. We usually get take out and it is always good. It looks like some reviews were not happy with quality, but that has not been our experience. This time, I ordered chicken satay and the Thai fried rice. The chicken satay is generous. The chicken was cooked just right (not dried out) with a nice peanut sauce. Then I liked the fried rice with chicken. For me, it could have had more broccoli and onion, but the chicken again was good and the flavors were great. We will continue going here. read more

Very good food and great service. This is one of my go to places. The place is clean which is nice to find these days. The prices are very reasonable and once again the food is very good ! read more

They were open for Christmas day! The vegetarian panang curry and the lemon grilled chicken was so good! Staff friendly. Beautiful ambience. Definitely coming back read more

We've eaten here many times. Yesterday I ordered what I usually order, #13 beef, cashews and legs. Asked for #2 spiciness, came a lot hotter. Was good but on 4th bite bit into sometime thing very hard. Could be heard across my table. Chipped my back molar. They offered to make me a fresh plate but I was done Beware read more

Too expensive. Tried this spot hoping for bold Thai flavors, but left pretty disappointed. The boat noodles were watery and lacked that rich, beefy punch you expect--no depth, no spice, just kind of flat. The curry (we had both red and green) tasted more like sweet coconut soup than anything remotely balanced or aromatic. And the pad kee mao? Way too oily, noodles were overcooked, and it didn't have that signature chili-basil kick. Not worth the hype or the price. read more

Wonderfully nice. Noppakao is a nice family Thai restaurant in a nice neighborhood . It is a nice place to go (to dine in or take out) whether you are looking for lunch or dinner. The dining room is nice, not fancy, not over-the-top, not extravagant, but nice. It is clean, in good repair, but starting to get dated; it's nice. The staff is nice, attentive, and friendly. The menu is nice. It offers a complete variety of Thai dishes without wandering from its Thai roots. The pricing is nice, good value. The dinners were nice, not over-the-top fancy, but nice. Each meal was hearty, we even have some to-go for lunch the next day. Yes, we will be back, it was nice. Yes, we recommend, it was nice. read more

Delivery review Everything we had last night was good. The string of low reviews this summer is kinda puzzling when ya look at what we just had for dinner. Food showed up quickly and as ordered, with one exception that was actually a nice turn of events. Tiger Cries This looked a lot more like what most places call a Waterfall Salad, but it was delicious regardless. We ordered 3 stars and it had a nice kick. Very tender and flavorful beef, lots of fresh crunchy veg around, good tart dressing, bright green basil sprigs. I order this dish almost every place that has it, and even if this was possibly a mixup, it still hit the spot for sure. Phad Thai Another boring comfort-food choice by us. 3 stars. Mild tingle of spice on the finish. Nice chew to the noodle, plenty of chicken, plenty of veg, good balance of sweet, heat, and tart. Easily repeatable, and there's enough for leftovers, so I guess it's already a repeater. Diamond Cashew Pretty heavy on the broth, but still great. 5 stars, definitely not the hottest but enough heat to amplify the flavor. Plenty of tender, tasty chicken, decent amount of mushrooms, nuts, and a little veg. Not the hugest serving but tasted really good. I'd order from these folks again, but as I note in almost every review I post of a Thai place, it's a long list of decent-to-great Thai up here. Lots of options. read more

Best place around for Curry. I have been coming here for many years. I like take out and also to eat here.

They accepted my online order and then 30 mins later cancelled it. I was starving after a long day at work and could've ordered elsewhere.

The food was excellent. Each of the people who I interacted with were exceptionally nice & professional. A huge consideration for me is being able to get gluten-free and have it truly be gluten-free. The 3 other Thai restaurants I've tried in Kirkland have told me they could make an item gluten-free, yet I've always reacted, however at Noppakao no reaction, my meal was truly gluten-free. And it tasted great! read more

Save your money go somewhere else , people here are rude and don't know customer service , good luck you might get a spin in your food

Raw chicken!!! I have been a customer for a few years now and lately the quality of the food and service have been in decay... today was the last drop for me, I ordered the sample platter and the chicken satay was raw... awfully raw almost like it wasn't even cooked. read more

Noppakao Thai Restaurant - Raw Chicken Satay (2 Skewers) w/ Rice - Thai Near Me - Everett, Washington

Disappointed. I was really craving Thai with a little spice. I have eaten here a few years back and was much better back then. It tasted like the noodles and chicken in a can. I had a few bites and was pained to have to throw away the rest due to lack of taste and spice. read more

Stopped going here a few years ago, haven't been back and haven't missed it. It was very inconsistent and therefore overpriced for how inconsistent it was, but mainly due to one man who always worked the hostess stand & handled takeout. He was always such a jerk that he ruined it for us. things like us adding spice to our kids' pad thai or thai fried rice, he'd argue that there could be no spice since it was for a kid....? He never greeted anyone and was irritated to seat people at a table. It was so obvious he hated his job. Perhaps the management was either related to him, or were clueless to his behavior. It's a bummer because it's minutes from our house, but we'd rather drive to other nearby thai spots with friendlier service, more consistent cooks and more competitive pricing read more

Food and service is always excellent. Highly recommended! We usually order delivery and the food is always hot and delicious! read more

Been getting food from here a handful of times already, no complaints the food was flavorful. What I do have a problem with is the last customer service experience I had with them. I was driving in my car doing god knows what (probably errands or something) when I attempted to call in my order. I figured by time I got there it would be about ready. When the restaurant answered, they asked me to hold for a moment so I obliged. Since I was in my car driving already making a hands-free call, it wasn't a big deal to wait on hold. So I waited, and I waited, and I waited. I wasn't even on actual phone hold, I could hear people talking in the background. What I heard was employees shooting the breeze having fun and talking, no urgent toggling or multitasking between in-person orders or transactions and the person on the phone. I looked down at my call timer and it said the call had been running for twelve minutes. Seriously? They either forgot about me or didn't care, and I could hear their casual conversation as if they had nothing to do. That really burned me, I don't plan to go back if that's how they treat their repeat customers. read more

Not sure what happened to this place. Is it under new ownership? It used to be a solid option for delicious Thai food. I've ordered from this place for years. I had to SALT the dishes I ordered recently! They were basically tasteless with undercooked vegetables. I've never had to salt Thai food. This place is in decline and I will not be ordering from here again. read more

Dang, sad to write this review as I heard so many good things about this place. Ordered take out Thai fried rice and fresh rolls. Their 'peanut sauce' is disappointing because it's more like a sweet and sour with peanuts in it. Fresh rolls were bland. The fried rice was decent but nothing special. read more

I ordered basil fried rice. The taste was average. The quantity was really less. I will not recommend it.

Second time here, first time I ordered appetizers and Thai iced tea. Second time, my siblings and I did family style dining. Everything was great! Service is great, friendly and helpful. Definitely stopping by more now that I live 5 minutes away! read more

Noppakao Thai Restaurant - a receipt on the seat of a car - Thai Near Me - Everett, Washington

I'd say this is a decent Thai restaurant in the little town of Mill Creek. It's easy to get to, plenty of parking, and nicely decorated. We came here on a Sunday afternoon shortly after 11:30, and it was completely dead, granted the Seahawks were playing. Our server was very attentive, but I wouldn't say that he had the friendliest demeanor. There were three of us and we ordered tom yum soup, pad Thai, and pad se ew. The soup had a pungent fish sauce smell -which I absolutely loathed - but other members of my party enjoyed it regardless. In addition, the pad se ew seemed to be drenched in soy sauce and the noodles a tad mushy. However, I thought the pad thai had a nice balance of tamarind and sweetness to it. In the end, this isn't exactly the place I would rush to dine at again. I also thought the big candy bowl near the cashier with the huge sign "PLEASE PAY FOR CANDY" a tad weird. But, if I were ever in the area and had a sensational craving for Thai food, I wouldn't cross this place off my list. read more

I use to absolutely love this place when I lived in the area years ago and now that I'm back I wanted to try it again. I called in an order for picked and the guy that answered was short and sounded like he really didn't want to be there, he said my food would be ready in 10 minutes. I arrived 23 minutes later and half of my order was done and I heard him say to the chef what about the golden noodle which the chef started to cook and I had to ask of it was going to be a few minutes and the guy said 1 minute instead of being honest with an item being forgotten. The food was disappointing and nothing like I remember. I will not be back here. read more

Worst customer service. The owner or who ever is at front is rude ass hell. I don't recommend this place. Never coming back. read more

We really enjoy the food and location of this restaurant. It's our go to Thai restaurant. Never disappointed with the food and the service is quick. We like to try different items on the menu. It seems that the vegetables and meet choices are fresh in all items we've had. Very flavorful with lots of healthy options. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone. read more

They're service was so bad. They have super short and rude responses to you. I ordered over the phone and the guy was rude! To make things worse the food was so bland and dry, I've eaten there many times and nothing is ever consistent. Definitely didn't make the food right or give me what I asked for. Not pleased with the food or how I was treated. DO NOT EAT HERE! I tried giving them many chances but each time is was a disappointment. They need better customer service and to actually care about what they're serving out. Disgusting bland food :( read more

The food here is outstanding and the service is excellent. Appears to be a family run business that is very attentive to your needs. I really like their lunch specials which give you a good amount of food for a fair price. My go to lunch order is the Cashew Nut Chicken which comes with Rice and pad-thai. If you live in the South Everett area near Seattle Hill Road, you should check out this restaraunt as you won't be disappointed! Mahlo for great food! read more

Zero stars for customer service. Three stars for the food, and that's being generous. I called in a pick up order and the man I spoke with over the phone was beyond rude. So rude that I'm sad I didn't decide to hang up and get food elsewhere. When I arrived for pick up, he was just as rude in person and to add to that he was coughing and touching his face. It was completely gross. The food was somewhat bland and their serving size is not as large (for Pad Thai) as other Thai restaurants in the area. I would not recommend eating at this restaurant. read more

Sad to say that I have been a good customer of this place for a number of years, enjoying both take-out and well as dining in. NOT any more. I ordered a simple PadKraPao for take-out and the man on the phone asked if I wanted basil, so I said yes. Then he asked what type of rice I wanted. This hit me as a bit strange but since he asked, I answered. Well, I got home to find out they did NOT make a PadKraPao as described on their menu. They had completed omitted any noodles from the dish. Only time in 10 years...oh, and yes, I have been to Thailand to enjoy this dish also. Anyway, a simple phone turns into an unbelievable noxious argument with the idiot Michael who explains how this is my fault by answering yes to his question about adding thai basil, and the refuses to make it right. Tells me I need to bring it back, duh. I asked to talk to the manager. I think he lied, but the manage never called. Not sure who owns or runs this place any more, but they don't seem very Thai to me. No smiles there! Bad, bad, bad way to treat good customers and make sure your business fails! Oh, that must be why the entire restaurant was empty, not one person, when I came in to pick up my food. Now you know WHY!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Ambience was good. Food - Not worth the money and uneatable. We ordered Chicken pad kee mao, basil fried rice & Larb gai (chicken in cucumber cup. picture looked attractive!). Chicken was uncooked in all of our food and spice level was uneatable though we ordered 3 (scale of 1-5). Larb gai was severed as shredded chicken with cucumber slices instead of cucumber cups (which was described in the menu). The plates were really dirty as well. Customer service - Need some serious help. We went with a toddler and specifically asked for medium spice but ended up not feeding at all. When told about the uncooked chicken, the owner and chef came to us and said they can do nothing about it. When we asked about spice level, nobody even cared about it. Overall very bad experience and probably will never coming back again. read more

The service was great. And the food came out fast! We ordered the pad Thai and it was a little bland. I wish it had a bit more tamarind and/or sugar? For some reason it was missing the sweet and sour experience. read more

Great food, friendly, authentic, clean and willing to go above and beyond! Definitely will return!

Food is always delicious, but very inconsistent with spice ratings. I've found that the in dining food is always better than take out. read more
