Excellent service! We were a walk in... party of 6 (including a toddler). A broad menu so everyone had plenty of options to choose from. My toddler decided to become very difficult. I'm assuming she is one of the owners... but she took over and kept him preoccupied while I was able to eat my meal while it was still hot. (Which is a rarity for a mom). She went above and beyond to help me enjoy my meal with my family and friends. I will never forget this act of kindness... it really takes a village. So thank you for giving me a great dining experience. (I would have normally spent the time outside with him and would eat my meal on the go to avoid annoying others around me.) so this new mom wanted to take the time to acknowledge the kindness and patience that was shown to my son and I. Thank you read more

Rum Thai Cuisine - Helping care for my toddler while I get to eat! - Thai Near Me - Everett, Washington

Dined at Rum Thai Cuisine prior to a comedy show at the nearby Everett Theater. We made reservations, yet on arriving the joint was barely populated. I liked the fact that the menu was well organized with well described ingredients and accompanying pictures of the dishes (as a more exotic type genre, I have no clue how the traditional dish name translates to something I wish to order). I ordered the Swimming Rama because I wanted wide noodles and spinach. It arrived as a generous portion with excellent quantities of all the different ingredients. I'm also not a fiery hot spice eater, but don't want bland either, and the temperature was proper at spice level 2-3. Normally I would have most of the dish and reserve some for lunch tomorrow, but it was so good (combined with a desire to not carry doggie bags to our next stop) that I finished my dish. My wife had the papaya salad and red curry, and she found them very fresh and flavorful, spicy but not excessive. She also finished her plate. Minor deduction in that the dining area is somewhat small and nondescript, and the door on a cold evening let in some cold (our waiter made sure to bus the door with every passage to minimize this issue). Prices were fair and competitive: great quality and quantity at a good price. I don't understand why there wasn't more of a a crowd!? A real witness: We are planning on returning in a month. read more

It was ok. Food came out super fast but I wouldn't say it was particularly great. The place itself is super dingy, definitely wouldn't sit down for a date there. Had Pad se ew, pineapple fried rice, massuman curry & crab Rangoons. Pineapple curry was probably the best dish but each dish felt overloaded with oil and very lacking in seasoning/flavor. The curry especially was a let down. It was mostly the most liquid soupy curry I've ever had, very little in terms of substance; meat/veg. The price was good but I don't think we will be returning... I'd rather go to Thai Waterside in Mukilteo and get truly flavorful food. read more

I met a friend for lunch. The place was empty so our service was excellent. I ordered a standard for me, Massaman Curry with chicken. It was good and fresh, and there was plenty of meat. The only negative was too many white onions and not enough pineapple. My friend enjoyed her Swimming Rama with tofu. We both had the Thai iced tea, which was delicious. read more

I love this place! First time and the food was stellar. Excellent service as well. I tried the Pad Kee Mao and it was so yummy! The iced coffee was superb. Come to Rum Thai Cuisine! Your tummy will thank you! #mostsatisfiedcustomer read more

In short Small place, hugely ambitious kitchen turning out big flavors in a low-key, welcoming environment. In long Some places get 5 stars because they don't make mistakes and they're better than 80% of the competition in their area. Some places get 5 stars because they do something amazing that totally dazzles you. Rum certainly qualifies on the first point, but it's really getting 5 stars for dazzling us. There has been more and more good Thai all around here for the last 30 years--by now, it's just expected that most people have a favorite Thai spot or love the one that's in their neighborhood. For us, we love so many different Thai dishes that be now, we must have tried at least 20 just in Snohomish County. This is now the clear favorite. This part of downtown Everett is all angle-in parking, and can get busy. We were super lucky to score a spot across the street, given the multiple concerts and summer festivals in town last night. Getting outta the truck, I thought I heard huge boisterous crowds laughing it up in Rum. Turns out we had the place to ourselves! People were having drinks in the pub right next door. Rum doesn't have any kind of bar at all. In this case "Rum" means "delicious," which is a northern-Thai sense of that word. The more universal meaning of the word evidently applies to the traditional Thai dance with all the ornate hand gestures (they have many decorative figures of these dancers in the window, so they embrace both connotations). Service is mild-mannered but warm and friendly. Prices are insanely good--we got out with 2 apps, 2 entrées, and soup for $79. Having no bar does keep your tab down. Fresh rolls All veg, rolled so tightly you could probably pound nails with them. Huge portions--so generous. The peanut sauce is the usual peanut sauce, but augmenting it with the spice caddy here can really light you up. The dried peppers, sambal, and fish oil all really torched my face. Grilled pork Better than grilled pork most places, but a couple bites were a little dry, so this dish comes in 5th place for last night. And I'd still get it again. Sticky sweet dipping sauce, so damn good. Phad thai Chicken. Sticky noodles with lots of bright tamarind flavors clinging to them. Nice big soft fluffy fried egg over the top. Nobody's idea of an adventuous dish; this is like ordering a burger around here, but the textures are flavors here made it interesting. I'm thinking they've put Northern touches on this dish but I don't pretend to be an expert, I just love food. Northern larb Pork. Tons of fresh veg around it. Served hot--this is definitely a Norther style touch, which our waiter was pleased to explain to us. It's also spicy, which he also called out as northern-Thai style. It's fantastic. Bite after bite of plain pork with different condiments kept me going through a couple servings before I started messing with the veg. Tom yum goong I didn't ask if they'll go off-menu above 5 stars of spiciness, but our waiter seemed tickled to serve us our entrées and soup at 5 stars. As usual, soup broth hits you hardest. No sweetness, no funk, no tang, just beautiful creaminess and seasonings, plus heat and nice fresh shellfish. Full-size head-on shrimp! Such a treat. The people are so nice, the prices are like nothing we see around here anymore, and the food is created with such care and love. This is our #1 Thai spot now. read more

See all

First time experience here, initial thought upon entering was this is Not retro it's forgotten...space needs an incredibly clean make over! Food was NOT good. The calamari was probably the best and it was obviously from a large frozen bag found at a super market. Do not order the Pork BBQ skewers unless leather is your preferred meat and obviously nuked or from a bag also. The Prawn spring rolls could use less than a head of lettuce in them! Pls don't order any Peanut tai sauce! I technically is a ramekin of creamy Jiff peanut butter! Tom Yum Noodle soup w/chicken, soup wasn't horrible and had a ok taste however it comes with a Drumbstick literally in the soup. Mine was Ice Cold in the center. Best thing I had was my Dr Pepper! The owner was very friendly and seemed very nice but this place needs a complete overhaul and will not return until I see a change from the street.. read more

THE WORST FOOD I'VE EVER HAD!! Called to get my money back but they wouldn't do it. Chicken satay over cooked. Shrimp over cooked. Curry tasted sour. No spice like I ordered. Absolutely terrible. Will NEVER go there again. It cost me $100. , What a waste of money. read more

Northern Thai cuisine. So good that this is my new favorite. Layers of flavor in the khao soi with beef. The papaya salad was super fresh. Warning for Washington that level 3 spice maybe higher than you think. larb northern was plenty of food and wonderful. The service was great in this little mom and pop delight. Price is very reasonable read more

Cute little restaurant with very friendly owners and staff. The service was personal and the food was freshly made and we did not have to wait long for the food even if most tables were filled. We can highly recommend the yellow curry with chicken, the mussaman curry with tofu, and a couple of eggplant dishes. If I lived closer I would eat here every week!!! read more

Maybe a bit generous with three stars but we did come in for lunch during Sorticulture street fair and they were slammed. So fifteen minutes for tea and a bit more for food was to be expected I guess. Fresh rolls were huge, kinda like a whole salad loosely wrapped but the peanut sauce was excellent. We each ordered Pad Se Ew, with different heat levels. This is a staple in Thai cuisine so a good way to rate a restaurant. Well, as a previous post said, it looked like Thai food but didn't taste like it. Most of the noodles were stuck together and broken into small pieces... a double no no! As for flavor, there was none and no discernible spice. Not worth a return visit! read more

Since you locals seem to have no idea what a "good" (not "authentic," because one must go to Thailand) restaurant chicken pad thai is, here are some pointers. White meat; soft/chewy noodles; no watery sauce; not sweet; includes fish sauce; scrambled eggs. I've just referenced nothing of the dreary dish by Rum Thai. Expect cheap dark chicken meat, hard noodles, dripping sauce, uneven sweet/sour/salty, absent hints of fish sauce (but fitting per the milquetoast cliente) and cutesy egg "pancake" laying on top that feels like a distant afterthought. Really, this version resembles disparate ingredients forced together, instead of one skillfully integrated, balanced whole. read more

These were just the appetizers one of the many times I've stopped in. The street style foods offered in a traditional manner are flavorful and fresh. The atmosphere is clean and quiet with the owners boys lighting up the energy in the back. It truly feels like a home cooked meal from good people. The cuisine is to die for. Authentic tie - my favorite by far - the curry! But everything we have tried as a family is delicious! I can't get enough of this place. Excellent service, food, many menu options, great detail of product on menu and clean! Highly recommend. read more

Rum Thai Cuisine - Spring roles and coconut shrimp. - Thai Near Me - Everett, Washington

Ordered take out and it was amazing! Such a fun, loving family that runs the place! I totally recommend!

We ordered takeout and everything was fantastic: pad Thai with chicken, slow braised pork belly, fried rice, pot stickers (with delicious sauce!), and broccoli with beef (sorry I cannot remember the correct Thai names for these dishes). The whole family included my 2 year old son enjoyed it!! This is some of the best Thai food I've had in a while, and we will definitely be coming back again. read more

Rum Thai Cuisine - Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Everett, Washington

we've been to Rum Thai twice, and both times were disappointed in the lack of flavor in the food. It doesn't taste like Thai food. It just looks like Thai food. I'm not sure why we went back the second time but sad to say there won't be a third. read more

What lovely people! I cant say I've ever left a review after picking up a to-go order but here we are. The food was fantastic (they had my favorite Northern Thai dish) and I can't wait to eat there in person. This is the kind of family business I love supporting. Husband working the front, wife working her magic in the back, and two friendly lil boys who welcomed me when I walked in. Come check out Rum Thai as soon as you can before the word gets out! :) read more

Great food. Big fan. These guys are pros. I had the Pho but the curry was also amazing

Got takeout Chicken Pad Thai, Pot Stickers, and Thai Iced Tea... all very yummy! I had ordered online, and they paid attention and didn't put peanuts on the Pad Thai due to my peanut allergy, so that is a huge plus! Will definitely be ordering from here again. read more

Some of the best thai fried rice in the city. Only four stars because it's a bit too pricey, and they didn't shell and devein the shrimp, which I thought was odd for fried rice. read more

From the moment we walked in the gentleman who greeted us was very kind and attentive and made sure we were well taken care of as well as never letting our water glasses go empty. The attention to detail was also astounding! Everything looked clean and they had gentle music playing in the background which made the dining experience very pleasant. The food was just amazing, nice portions that weren't too much and the variety of dishes is just amazing, my wife and I got the orange chicken, yellow curry, crab delights and the fresh rolls, and everything was just delicious, needless to say if we're in the area we'll definitely be stopping by again! read more

Seriously did not expect what I got! Looks very unassuming but the food is excellent and the service is great! They offered substitutions for my dietary restrictions on the fly. Come visit and be very pleasantly surprised! I had the wings and the Paad See Ew. Both were delicious! read more

Very fresh dishes. Nice staff. Seems to be a local favorite. Very clean. I will come again.

Have had take out from Rum Thai twice and both times it was great! Food is fresh and the spice scale is accurate. Packaged perfectly for driving home with no spills. Friendly and fast service on Colby with plenty of parking. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

This is the real deal. Every dish, every time. Consistent, flavorful, authentic. LOVE the Tom Yum Friend Rice especially. The fresh veggies, full flavor, amazing lemongrass... Yum! Sometimes I lose track of time so the early closing time at 8pm isn't convenient, but it seems like a family place with little kids around so I understand the 11am-8pm hours. read more

I am thrilled to have made it in person - we stopped for lunch today and the place was lovely and the food was so delicious! Love how generous they are with the veggies and the food presentation is beautiful. Also the owner was super sweet and remembered my kids. Family owned place. I guess this is our new Thai spot. read more

We have come here multiple times now and it has always exceeded our expectations! I love Thai Food but have never ordered anything but "safe" dishes like pad thai or the rice. I have ventured even into the curry dishes that usually are not my favorite, but they are now! Love this place and the owners are soooo nice. Highly recommend - read more

It was great! Good food and great service! I would definitely come back! It was very clean as well!

Very friendly atmosphere, great music. Brought us tea to enjoy while we waited. Food was excellent!

Great food. Always something great to eat. I love the soups. Sticky rice. And green papaya salad.
