The good: service was quick and friendly. Ambiance is kinda good, bright and airy. It's what you'd expect from a strip mall Asian food place. Plenty of parking. The bad: the food. Not bad really, just not 'good.' I judge every Thai place by their Pad See Ew. That's what I ordered here. It had all the basics of the dish. But it was the most bland Pad See Ew I think I've ever had. And I've been eating that dish for 30 years. The place was half full when I was there so it's not like the kitchen was overwhelmed. So it really comes down to the recipe. It lacked the rich sauce flavors I've experienced at many other places. It's almost like the only sauce they used was soy and fish sauce. I've had other Pad See Ew dishes that are more complex and the best ones have a slightly sweet finish, with some so good you can't stop eating even when you're full. This wasn't that. They really need to up their game on the sauce. Again, it wasn't bad, it was just meh. I don't think I'll be back. read more

I love Thai food... and I can be very picky about it. My first visit here... and I ordered the Cashew Chicken and an order of fresh shrimp rolls. I was going to eat there, but all tables were full.... so did takeout instead. After getting back home, I dug in. The cashew chicken was delicious, and a nice sized portion that was good for two meals. Rice was ok... and again, plenty. The Thai fresh rolls were perfect, crisp, tasty and the herbs were fresh. Shrimp was yummy. Glad to have them nearby! read more

They have a nice lunch special that I get. Green curry with steamed tofu and rice. Love the curry and they put large pieces of grilled eggplant which I liked. Very friendly staff and food came out quick. Everything was plated nicely. The Vietnamese iced coffee was OMG amazing. Lots of seating even though the restaurant is on the smaller side. We didn't wait at all for lunch during the week. Lots of parking in the parking lot. We will continue to come back! read more

My client recommended this place and I decided to give it a try. Every time I go to a Thai restaurant for the first time I order Stir fry eggplant with chicken medium spicy. I ordered the same this time. The dish lucked of sauce, it was not enough of it, and therefore it lucked of flavor. Not having enough sauce made chicken dry. For me it was just OK. Service is quick and friendly. read more

Planet Thai - Stir fry eggplant with chicken - Thai Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Emerald chicken is rich and decadent! Best peanut sauce I've ever had. The cashew chicken is delish as well. Great flavor in the juice. Ask for extra cashews! My favorite here though is the Mango Sticky Rice dessert with a scoop of coconut ice cream added (extra coconut sauce and seeds)! High booth backs for additional privacy. Comfy cushioned bottoms. Lots of parking in area but parking can be tight in immediate area. read more

Great ambience , as we entered the work-a-day world faded into obscurity. A pleasant greeting, then seated promptly. We ordered Pad Thai with fried tofu and green curry with broccoli instead of eggplant and spring rolls with fried tofu Service was fast and efficient as if we were the only ones there. The food was spot on and so delicious. Alas, back to the hustle and bustle thinking about our next visit read more

Nice atmosphere and service. Food is cooked well. Lots of fish dishes which I haven't tried. Enjoyed the pineapple fried rice and or Thai dishes. My only complaint is that the portion of protein seems to get smaller as time goes on. Prices are ok. I have moved onto other similar places nearby. read more

Had lunch at the cozy Planet Thai today. I've been here in the past and remembered it was good. I was right, delicious! I had the stir fried eggplant which was perfectly cooked. The eggplant was creamy and succulent and it was complimented by the bell peppers and delicious sauce. We also got Larb and salad rolls which were also delicious. The wait staff was very attentive and helpful. They were also tolerant of our 3 year old and newborn. We appreciated them! I hope to be back soon! read more

I came here with my friend for lunch at her suggestion. Never have been before. I'm sure I will be back. The lunch special penning. Curry was delicious. A generous amount for a good price. Asparagus and green beans fresh and tasty. Love the curry we got it slightly hot. I got the cup of wonton soup. Loaded with several tender wontons and two large shrimp. It has spinach and beans sprout, which was delicious. My friend got theTomKha soup She let me taste the broth. It was really flavorful with a great amount of tasty bits. The service was a bit slow, but very friendly and patient. I would definitely try some other favorites here read more

We stopped coming here years ago after they got new management and the food quality went down. However, we recently came back and had a great experience. All of our dishes were great - yellow curry was excellent, same with the panang curry, and wife loved the drunken noodle. I see many commenters say that the pad thai is lacking, so we opted not to get that though I'm curious since it's my standard dish. I'll be back! read more

Look - if you can create take out food that survives a half hour drive and still tastes AMAZING, 5 stars is all yours. Seriously, we got the yellow curry and crunchy honey chicken, and our first impression was incredible. There are a lot of Thai food places that do well, but this one was at the top. The restaurant was busy, even for us grabbing our take out. Clearly they do a lot of business, but it didn't seem like too long of a wait even still. Highly recommend giving this one a try if you're out this way! read more

If I could only eat at one place for the rest of my life, it would be Saigon in Vancouver. The food is consistently incredible--every single time. I usually stick to the same three dishes (you know what you like, right?), and they never disappoint. What really makes this place special, though, is the people. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming, and after what must be a thousand visits, it still feels like a treat every time I walk in. Oddly enough, after all those meals, I've never been offered a complimentary dish... haha. But honestly, even if they did, I'd probably turn it down--this place has already given me more than enough reasons to keep coming back. read more

I was in the area, visiting from New York City, and I was hungry for some Thai food. After looking at a few pictures on Yelp, I chose Planet Thai. Everything was delicious and the restaurant was comfortable and fun. I enjoyed my curry and I would visit Planet Thai again if I was ever in the area. read more

I feel pretty lucky. I was craving Thai and just happened to be next door to Planet Thai. Walking in this is a little oasis. The service was great. I was seated quickly and had my order in fast. I did a chicken pad thai with a 3/5 on the heat index. The pad thai was delicious. It was cooked well and was very flavorful. Next time I will up the heat. 3 was pretty mild. I like a little more, so I may try a 4.5 next time. Great food, great service! I'll definitely be back! read more

Been wanting to try this place so many times after always passing it on the way to Fred Meyer. Finally made it in the other week. Seems to be a popular spot. As we were leaving the restaurant filled up from the time we came in. We ordered the papaya salad, drunken noodles with chicken, panang curry with beef, & chinese sausage fried rice. Papaya salad was really good, papaya was very crisp. My favorite was the fried rice, it was topped with a very finely shredded dried pork. Sausage was on the sweeter side combined with pork & squeeze the lime that's provided sooo good! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Whenever going to Thai restaurants my bf & I have always only had the colored curries, so this was our first time trying panang. it was still rich in the coconut milk, but there was salty sweet mellow flavor about that I liked. Drunken noodles is something I always order at thai restaruants as it's one of my favorite dishes. The noodles were all piecey & broken in this one, but still very flavorful. We were excited to try the mango sticky rice, however were told they were out that day. Guess we'll have to come back another time to try it. Others on here mentioned about the service, but I thought it was good. Pricing is a bit high, but what isn't these days. read more

Planet Thai has THE BEST Thai Food. I've invested the price of a small car ordering the Honey Crispy Chicken and Yellow Curry dishes. (The Crab Fried Rice and Pumpkin Curry are good too.) We just went again and it's still delicious. We got the food to-go, but the restaurant has a very comfortable atmosphere (nice background music and sports on the tv) too. And the staff is always super pleasant and fun. I recommend Planet Thai to friends and family whenever I can, and now? I recommend them to you! read more

I understand I went during a normally busy time but the restaurant is fairly small how could service be so terrible? One of our forks still had old rice stuck to it. When we finally got our food, my pad Thai tasted like I licked the inside of a frying pan. Not sure if they were using a dirty pan or old oil but it was terrible. When I finally was able to get the waiters attention I was offered a whole $1.50 off the bill... I probably should have pushed back more but I wanted out of there, I will not be returning. read more

Pretty gross Crab cream cheese Winston's, are just full of cream cheese. With a vinegar dip Tom kha soup.

Pretty good Thai food. I've eaten Thai food several times in a couple of months and this place rates right up there with the others. We didn't stray to far from the normal things we order so I can't really judge the other menu options. Good environment and pretty good food. read more

Been here many times over the years. I have had several different things. My go to being pad Thai with shrimp or tofu of course and it's delicious. Today I tried the Garlicky with shrimp - YES! So delicious!! Shrimp salad rolls also good. I feel like the options for consistently good Thai in the Vancouver area are somewhat limited, but this place delivers every time. Great customer service, clean & inviting place, it's a little cool inside for my liking but I'm not cooking (: Will always happily pop in here when I'm in the area. read more

Food was amazing! I had the Volcano Beef and enjoyed it immensely. It was very tasty and the presentation surprised me. The service staff were very nice and accommodating, and the establishment was very clean. Although it was casual dining, there was an upscale feel to the ambiance. read more

The food is amazing! I especially love the Khao Soi -- easily the most authentic one in town.

I ordered the pad kee mao and khao soi, both 4/5 heat and with chicken. Prices and portions were solid but both dishes were the worst versions I've ever tasted. The pad kee mao was only slightly below average, but I still can't think of a restaurant that doesn't make it better. The khao soi was incredibly bland and by far the worst I've ever had. I will never return. read more

I always try the pad Thai anywhere I go because it's a pretty simple dish. The rice noodles were cooked perfectly, but that was about the end of the positive experience. The taste was bland and I was surprised my to go order didn't include a lime wedge. Maybe that's on me because I didn't ask for one but I've never had to ask before. It was not bad, but disappointing indeed. read more

Planet Thai - Chicken and Shrimp Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

First time trying this restaurant and will also be the last. We ordered the pad see ew, the pad kee mao and the mango sticky rice. Pad see ew had a nice flavor but the chicken was a choking hazard with how dry it was. We requested the drunken noodle with a medium spice level, the spice was nonexistent. Every vegetable in each dish was either so sour or so bitter that we had to spit it out. We order mango sticky rice at every Thai place we ever go to (as it is our favorite) and we couldn't even finish it. The rice was hard and chewy and entirely too sweet. I will never understand why this establishment is so popular, worst thai food I have ever had. read more

Walked in without a reservation and instantly got seated with a party of three. Food came out fast and hot. Everything tasted amazing. I highly recommend the drunken noodles- the thick noodles have an amazing texture! The inside of the restaurant had a cozy and elegant feel. Prices are very reasonable! read more

No pictures show food ,it's hard to choose , and don't know what the best food or popular

The food was ok. Portions were smaller than other Thai in the area. Service was pretty slim. They didn't come by very often and I never got a refill. Overall, I will likely choose another restaurant for the same type of food. They were so inundated with takeout customers that I feel like their dining in customers were neglected. We were seated by the door and were cold the whole time with the takeout people coming and going constantly. This really detracts from the atmosphere and it's not a place for a couple if they are looking for a more intimate setting as there is no privacy at all. It's slightly below average to us. Pretty much what I'd call a frantic, volume oriented operation. read more

I don't know how this Curry was so good. I was intimidated by some high price fancy items written on a board when I walked in. I grabbed a menu to look at the other items. As soon as I had the menu in my hand, an employee was there asking if it was for carry out and what my name was. I accidentally ignored him while asking if they had tofu for curry and how long it would take. The price fair and he said 5-10 minutes. I expect people to be professional about their service, but I could tell he was even more serious about his own service than I was, which is rare. He ran off with my money and quickly had someone bring me my change. I received my money in the 5 to 10 minutes like he said. I wish I lived closer. I would go back very often. I wanted to show a picture of the curry, but I scarfed it down before I could take a picture. This place definitely has something for everybody. From 'affordable', all the way up to 'too fancy for me'. The menu says they even serve halibut while it's still on fire called "Fish on Fire". read more

The lunch menu has plenty of options. Each can be customized for spice level 1-5. Food is fresh and the service is quick.

Visit took place on 08.16.2019 I really do try and return to locations and hope that things improve. I have no complaints about the food. I have never been disappointed. I always order the Drunken Noodle with Chicken and it is delicious. The soda always has this strange taste. I'm told (by others in the industry) it's due to lack of use. Wrong or right, it's still there. Maybe I'm the only one that orders diet pepsi/coke from the location. ??? The service... Why are you not improving? I want the service to be as good as the flavor of their food! Who is my server? No clue! I need something, I basically have to get up and find someone. I had one person say that she will be right with me to take my order, then I have another ask, are you ready to order. Wait, do I tell her or the first one? Is someone trying to steal a table? Okay, so I give her my order. Farewell, my friend, it was good seeing you. In other words, I never saw her again. Someone else dropped off the order, then the original server walked by and I had to ask for something, but did I get it? Still waiting! Then there are two men and I am not sure what they are doing. It just doesn't make sense! How can the service be so bad? To be fair, none were rude, well, maybe the 1st or the second one (order taker) was a little unfriendly, but not rude. They just don't have their service act together. What ever happened to this is your table and you take care of them from start to finish? read more

Came to Planet Thai during an evening takeout. I ordered Chicken Pad Thai and Thai Tea. Everything was good overall. I do prefer my Pad Thai sauce to have a bit more depth in flavor and savoriness, however the Thai tea was really tasty. I still have yet to taste everything else on the menu. So I'll have to come by again. Staff and service were excellent. Covid guidelines are established. read more

Wavering between a two and three star review. Start to finish was just ok if not bad. Took quite some time to get a table when they were really not that busy. After finally getting a table it took at least 10 minutes to get the waitresses attention. Ordered a Thai beer which was cold and hit the spot. Ordered pot stickers and Larb Chicken salad. The pot stickers were cooked in oil that was not hot enough. They soaked up the oil and tasted horrible. The Chicken salad had very little flavor and was watered down. I didn't taste any mint or herbs at all. Definitely won't return. I need to find a decent Thai restaurant close to me. The search continues. read more
