    Crab curry with noodles
    Caitlyn M.

    Great Thai spot in Ballard. Came here for dinner on a Friday and we're seated right away. It's a casual spot with great food and great service. We got the fried mushroom salad, the shrimp paste eggplant, and the crab curry with noodles (kanom-jean-numya-pa). Everything was delicious! The fried mushroom salad was very unique. The mushrooms were nicely fried without being oily and the sauce it was served with was amazing. The shrimp paste eggplant was very flavorful, I wish there were more pieces of eggplant but I enjoyed the bell peppers and onions in the dish too. The crab curry noodles were fun to try! The curry was flavorful but not too strong and did not overpower the crab. There was a good amount of crab meat. It also came with some veggies (romaine, broccoli, pickled mustard, green beans). You mix everything together! It was a light but fulfilling meal. Also the service was also great, very attentive.

    Thai Garlic Sauce

    Needed a dog friendly spot in Ballard and was feeling Thai and luckily this spot has some outdoor seating that we could use. The service was nice and quick and friendly, we ordered off the lunch menu which had a decent amount of food and we both took some of our food to go. I got spicy level 3 for the garlic and it was spicier than I expected, still good though. The cocktails were good and pretty as well. I would say the outdoor area is very small and not very nice but you gotta do what you gotta do when you got a dog. Overall would recommend though and would maybe try sitting inside.

    Tom yum soup, lard salad, Phad See Ew
    Lisa D.

    Authentic Thai food. Great flavors. The soup was a little sweet for my taste, but the lard was spot on. The spice tray was excellent. My buddy loves their Phad See Ew. I'd definitely go here again, and it's on the Alaska Mileage Plan Dining, so that was a nice bonus, and also why I'd pick here over the other Thai spots on the block.

    Tom yam noodle soup with pork hit the spot. Very casual dining. The service was very nice. I would come back if I am in ballard again.

    The crispy mushroom was delicious! The shrimp paste eggplant was a little salty but great flavor overall!

    Hot Basil Fried Rice
    Theresa A.

    Came here after a long shift and the restaurant is tucked in a building with other businesses. The food was amazing. Quite different from your typical Thai restaurant. I tried two different dishes- spicy basil fried rice with ground chicken and a curry dish with Roast duck and longan and lychees were included. It was a very savory curry, sweet and savory, with a good heat level 3. I am someone who loves spicy, ordered my fried rice at a level 4 and it was pretty spicy. My spice tolerance is very high so I don't recommend that level if you can't tolerate medium-hot heat. We also orders their chicken wing appetizer- super crispy and flavorful. It was yummy!

    Food was great - good presentation . Alittle pricy but they have a decent lunch special and small happy hour Parking alittle big of a headache since it's only street parking - anywhere from $6-10/hr

    Love this spot! My husband and I came here for lunch with our pup. They have a table or two which sits outside the restaurant and they were nice enough to let us dine there with our pup. The food is really good and service is great! They have really tasty crab dishes! We tried the crab fried rice, chicken seaweed rolls, and pad see ew and everything was so good!

    Dancing Thai Iced Tea
    Valerie W.

    If you've not stopped by this wonderful "hole in the wall" restaurant you're missing out! Tucked away off Market is Secret Savory, a light and bright, small but mighty, Thai restaurant with plenty of delicious menu items and drinks to choose from. Staff are friendly. Prices are fair. Food is absolutely delectable. Because it is small, don't be surprised if there is a bit of a wait especially over weekends. It is certainly worth the wait however. My noodle Tom yum soup was the perfect mix of sour and spicy. The Dancing Thai Iced tea with a touch of rum was quite literally one of the best Thai iced teas I have ever tasted. All in all, the food and experience is great. I can definitely see this becoming a regular spot for a great lunch or dinner!

    Kang-Ped-Bed-Yang
    Allie L.

    I've been here twice in the past 60 days. On my first visit everything tasted perfect! My sister and I ordered the Kor-Lae Chicken appetizer, the green bean garlic, the Royal Kao-Soi noodles with tofu and the Kang-Ped-Bed-Yang with roasted duck. The dishes were hot (temperature), full of spices with some heat and delicious. I took my partner there last week and we ordered the same dishes thinking it would be the same. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. The dishes arrived lukewarm (temperature); the pineapple and lychee were cold and tasted like they took it out of the fridge and added it to the sauce. The only items that arrived hot was the green beans and the rice. Sadly, my second visit didn't compare and I'm disappointed they lacked consistency.

    Mango sticky rice
    Jiayi S.

    Such a cute and unique little Thai shop in Ballard! They label the food by regions of Thailand. The soft shell crab dried curry is a must! Along with the whole soft shell crab, they cooked vegetables with more crab!!! I absolutely love how well the flavors came together. We also got the panang strip loin curry. The steak was cooked to perfection. The curry was a little heavy for me though. Nothing majorly bad to say about it. It's just not my vibe so I probably will not get it again. I highly highly HIGHLY recommend the kanom jean num prik!!!! The curry is a little sweet, the shrimp was super tender, and the ground peanut really compliment the entire dish. It came in a really cute bowl where you pour the curry in and mix it all together. It's a really fun and really good dish. 10/10 The mango sticky rice is also a MUST! The presentation of the dish was stunning and the sticky rice was amazing. The coconut milk sauce could be reduced a little more in my opinion. They put A WHOLE MANGO on there though!! 10/10 would recommend this place

The spice scale is definitely catered toward people who like less spicy food, so rest assured three or four is still fairly mild in spice.

We scanned the electronic menu at the front, ordered, then got water at the self-serve station. We beat the lunch crowd so we had plenty of tables to choose from. The bright and cheery decor had nice ambiance and the staff were friendly and welcoming. My hubs ordered the Khao Soi Chiang Mai, one of his favorite dishes to order at a Thai restaurant. It was huge and came in a big, wide bowl. He enjoyed the flavor of the yellow curry and building heat of this dish. Make sure to get a steak knife at the front counter so you can cut the meat from the chicken drumstick (if you're not biting into it). Also, if you are a spice lightweight like me, this is not your dish. But if you enjoy spice and curries, you will enjoy this dish. I got the E-Jae House Noodle with chicken and no egg. Wow, their handmade rice noodles were amazing! So soft, tender, and kinda ropey. I loved the texture and taste of this dish. The sauce was light and complimented the noodles, chicken, green onions, and cilantro. It's so great to eat a restaurant dish that isn't too salty or saucy! It comes with a side of chili sauce which I didn't use, but if you like spice, I am sure it was good. We ended our meal by sharing a small order of the Mango Sticky Rice. It was delightful. The mango was perfectly ripe, the sticky rice was delicious, and it was topped with little crispies which we found out later was fried mung beans. A great ending to a great meal.
