I love the atmosphere here! And as always the food was delicious. I ordered the Rama noodle and Thai tea, they are glad to substitute milk for coconut nut milk if you can't have dairy! They were very friendly as usual, authentic tasting Thai food! I wish the prices were cheaper but honestly everything has gone up in cost now so it's to be expected. Generous serving and way more chicken in the noodles than I expected! read more

I love the cozy interior setting of this restaurant. I have been here a few times and forgot to write a review. I have always experienced wonderful customer service and delicious meals. This restaurant provides great food for reasonable prices. This is my favorite Thai restaurant! read more

The food was really yummy. Everything had so much flavor and the portions were big. The service was okay. They take your order and bring your food. They really check on you. Water didn't get refilled till we were leaving. It has some spacious seating. They also have booths. Overall I would come here again. They food is yummy read more

Thai Bistro - Thai Near Me - Federal Way, Washington

This adorable restaurant has authentic decor coupled with great service. The dishes are varied in proteins and sauces. Every dish was as authentic as my trips to Thailand! The spice levels were on point. I will be back to try more of this amazing menu! read more

Went here for a company dinner and the service was awful. No drink orders, no plates, utensils, no napkins, no refills... the food was okay but my order was wrong and the portions were quite small. Don't go here. read more

Customer service is the first thing I notice. When I arrived I was great with a question! " You picking up or eating in". How about a hello! Welcome to Thai Bistro! Cold and not inviting!! Tried to order what I wanted, employee rude and couldn't understand what I wanted. Ordered massaman curry 5 star with pork (up charge for beef, traditional) and Phad Thai 3 star. 1) massaman curry barely had 2 stars - lame taste! Phad Thai zero stars, gummy! I have definitely had better and at much more affordable prices!!!!! Almost $20.00 each for about $3.00 worth of ingredients! I work in the food industry so I could price each item out! Not worth the experience or price, go elsewhere, you'll get better! As a sideline I am also a food safety instructor, not up to standards with front end cleanliness read more

It is nice to see a restaurant stay consistent. We have been coming for years and everything is still outstanding. We come often for the lunch specials which are a very good deal, especially with going out getting more expensive. I love the Orange Beef. Service is great too. read more

I've been eating here for well over 15 years. Over the years I've done several reviews, however all except the last one have been deleted. Why? I have no idea because they were decent reviews. The last three times I've been here I said I'm never coming back again but this time I actually mean it. Today it took over 30 minutes for somebody to come and take our order. I finally went up to the bar and said "should I order online? Maybe I would get some food that way." so the person I said that to actually came over and took our order. She wasn't even supposed to be our waitress - The woman who was supposed to be our waitress was busy fielding phone orders completely ignoring two tables in the bar area. The restaurant was basically empty and they were completely ignoring the people in the restaurant to place to go orders. The other table waited just as long - they too were not happy. It then took another 20 to 25 minutes to get food - putting me an hour behind in my schedule for the day The Thai iced tea was excellent / they haven't changed it. The calamari appetizer was disgusting - It was super chewy and I couldn't even eat it. (I had to spit it out) The soup that comes with the combos is actually - decent, it's chicken broth with tofu, onions, carrots, and chicken. The Quality has definitely been taking a dive for the last five years and it has now hit rock bottom. The pad Thai was mediocre. The rice was fine - how can you screw up rice? The crispy chicken was not good (over fried and funky tasting sauce) The chicken Rama was a new peanut sauce that is not good like the old one was. The last time I was there I got my favorite Tom Ka soup and it was absolutely awful and it is my very favorite soup - it now has a thick broth, which is absolutely disgusting. So if you want mediocre to bad food in a nicely decorated restaurant with horrific service this would be your place. Goodbye Thai bistro it was a good run for a long time and now we have to terminate our relationship. Hopefully you'll read this and try to fix your issues but sadly it's gonna be a long time, if ever, before I come back. read more

Walk into beautiful Thailand with the amazing grand pergola at the entrance and beautiful decor - it's warm and inviting - Thai comfort food - we always order like we haven't eaten in a week - we ordered too much good food - serving sizes are bigger but leftovers are always better the next day. Our servers are always so sweet, got seated quickly and they're always so kind. read more

We have been coming here for years and we went tonight for Valentine's Day. I understand that you were busy but when my husband told you that the sweet chili was overcooked you looked at it and said yes it looks tough. There was no discount for it or a replacement that was all that was said to us. I think you can do better. read more

Last week we ordered over $120 of food & they forgot one of my rice. Today, they forgot 2 rice but thankfully I checked before leaving so I got 2 rice. I wanted to try something new so I ordered Rama noodles w/peanut sauce but this is what I got. Plain Rama noodles w/tofu, broccoli and little spices for $17! Who would eat this? So disappointed! I'll stick to our normal entrees. Always double check your order before leaving. read more

Thai Bistro - Rama noodles w/peanut sauce...where's the sauce?!?! - Thai Near Me - Federal Way, Washington

The food here was awesome - two of my highlights were the Tom Yum soup and the pot stickers (DOUSE THEM IN THE SAUCE). For my 21+ people the lychee cocktail was SO GOOD; two of my friends and I got them and enjoyed them. We had a big party and were able to get a table easily on a Monday afternoon. The waitress was also super friendly and even offered to take our picture, as we were celebrating a friend's birthday! I saw some people dining alone so I'll bet this would be a great spot for a lunch break if you work in Federal Way, too! read more

I come here often, but this experience was extremely disappointing. I ordered the chicken pad thai to go and it was honestly nasty. The the noodles were very chewy and there was no flavor and the dish was not edible. When I asked for a refund, the lady working said they don't do refunds, but ended up doing the refund but was very rude during the process , acting like it was my fault for not wanting to eat it. I wasn't disrespectful--I simply explained that it had a doesn't taste right and asked for a refund. The way it was handled makes me not want to come back, food use to be great now is very horrible quality read more

0 out of 10. Ordered bbq pork as an appetizer. 10 min later I ordered larb gai to have as meal. Larb gai came out first.... No big deal. Bbq pork comes out later undercooked. I mention that it's raw so they take it away. Don't bring it back (I thought they would have cooked it fully and brought it back) but still charge me. Used to be great spot. Now it's pathetic. I will never eat there again. read more

Normally I like their food but after my last experience I am getting my thai elsewhere. Compare what I got in the picture to what their picture is on their menu. So disgusting read more

The inside decor was really nice and the service was friendly. Although, one of the servers didn't know what the tea soda on the menu was which scared us off from ordering it. The Kao Soy was delicious along with the Pad Thai (huge portion). The chive pancake was a no go for me. Didn't like it at all. Also the first time trying a Thai tea with coconut milk - I was pleasantly surprised! read more

It's hands down the best Thai place in south Seattle or one of the top one in Seattle area. One thing is that sometimes the quality of the food tend to vary, maybe they have a different chief on some days. The service is generally good, I previously had ordered cater service and was very satisfied. read more

We came with a group of women friends. I really wanted to like this place, especially since I was really hungry and love Thai crab fried rice! I ordered chicken nuggets for my granddaughter...which was served with broccoli/carrots and rice. She seemed to enjoy it ok. I ordered crab fried rice with brown rice & shrimp added...and was so disappointed when it came!. The rice was kind of greasy mushy...with crab plopped on top...and the shrimp also just on top...the crab and the shrimp didn't look at all like it was cooked with the rice...so I was confused as to why it appeared that everything was cooked separately. It tasted exactly like that, didn't taste at all like fried rice. I have had lots of Thai crab fried rice and it never tasted like this. I tried to eat it and after a few bites I couldn't fake it anymore. It was horrible. And asked the waitress to just take it away...I didn't ask for her to remove it from the bill, I just asked her to take it. I paid for it, but know that I will never come here again. It's rather annoying when you share your thoughts with the wait staff and they want to tell you how it is cooked...instead of just accepting that I wasn't happy with my food. I did pay for it...and I will add that there was someone else in our party that ordered the mango fried rice and she had a similar experience...she said that her food didn't taste like it was cooked together...fried rice is supposed to be a combination of flavors. Anyhow, not a fan of this place. read more

I had the Panang Lamb, The lamb was tender and perfectly seasoned and cooked. Not too salty, fully cooked and grilled yet not burnt. The panang sauce was delicious! The combination of the two seemed a little odd, although I love both flavors, and this restaurant did them perfectly, it just tasted odd in my mind. The way each part was prepared indicated the high level of professionalism here, while all the vegetables in the sauce,( red and green peppers and artichoke,) were cooked to perfection: not hard nor too soft, just enough bite yet tender and juicy. I will look forward to repeat visits here, and had to give my opinion on my very special dish... don't turn it down, I was not at all disappointed. read more

We were here in Tacoma visiting daughter. She took us here become she loves the food. She is gluten intolerant & lactose intolerant, but finds this place to be wonderful. Hasn't had any food problems since coming here a year ago. Customer service was great & restaurant was very clean. Love the atmosphere. Great selection in food & good portions. Vegan items are available. All three of us had enough for a dinner meal. Wife's input was I quote "I loved the quality & taste" Rice was fluffy with perfect texture. All vegetables were cooked to perfection. All staff were practicing Covid safety & mask are required unless seated at table read more

I am visiting out of town and was invited to eat lunch here. The service was beyond 'sub-par!!' it was an older lady (no glasses) barked out questions, was impatient when I had question and left. The other servers brought our meals. No one asked if we'd like dessert or another drink. Advise to stay away! read more

Best Thai restaurant in Washington in my opinion a little expensive but you get a lot of food

Nope. Server was super rude. She thought I was a delivery man and when I asked for menu, she just told me to take it. Take it from where? LOL. Hard pass. It's a typical Asian restaurant that could be easily replaced. Get your thai food else where. read more

We decided to go here for take out & it the food was okay. The parking was fine and the lady who took our order was really nice and recommend the chicken. The pad se-ew was okay, it was overly sweet for some reason. The basil fried rice was really good though. I gave this place 3 stars because it was mid but also SUPER pricey. Maybe next time I'd dine in and try it out again. Try it out for yourself though! read more

I usually order take out from here and now I know why. Decided to dine in for once and honestly not a fan of their service, seemed very rushed even though the place itself wasn't even that busy. We barely had our food served and 3-4 bites later we were given the check and asked if we needed boxes - couldn't even care a full conversation with my friend. The food was good as always I typically get the pad Thai with tofu and it didn't disappoint but with that service I will stick to just ordering take out at this place read more

Such good food my fav Thai spot in town, their desserts are amazing and their customer service is always great

Tonight I ordered chicken Pad Thai, Shrimp Penang curry but when I opened the container it was chicken. Tom Yum soup and green papaya salad. I asked that all be 2 star. The Tom Yum soup was so hot we could not even eat it and so was the papaya salad. The other two items were just OK. I think that the cost was a bit high for what we ordered . read more

This is an update review, not for better but for worse. Maybe this busines changed management. Everything regarding their food quality has dropped dramatically compared to the fine quality and superb culinary skills that long lasted for years. We happened to be in the vicinity and just hopped in for a quick lunch. I ordered Green curry with prawn, side steamed rice and noodle soup with braised beef for my companion. First impression with the rice I received was shocking, instead of the firm texture of nice fragrant jasmine grain rice,the rice was very mushy. It was more like porridge or similar to rissoto in western cuisines. Rice as the primary starch stable in asian cookings is an essential ingredient in most of asian cultures, no matter what ethnicity. Just by judging how well the rice is cooked, pretty much tells whether the kitchen staff is doing a fine job. Besides the curry dish itself was cooked in a curry sauce and it seemed that the prawns was left cooking in the sauce without any attention, therefore resulting being overcooked and turned rubbery. It became chewy! I have never experienced any shrimp in restaurants so tough and chewy. Half cooked green peas topped this curry dish, guessed it was added as the final touch before leving the kitchen, all ingredients were not cooked in the right time sequence and was uneatible. What a shame! The supposed beef noodle was in a strong herbal broth, tasted very sweet, overly seasoned with palm sugar, I believe. Not only was the food quality bad, the table top was not cleaned and wiped down thoroughly either. Left over gravy spots on the table had stained my clean jacket sleeves as well. Thai Bistro, we will not recommend this business and absolutely will not return to this place again! read more

Some of the boldest yet nicely balanced flavors I could hope to experience at any Thai restaurant. I have never been to Thailand so I am unable to comment on whether it is authentic Thai food or not. I can tell you this, the facility is clean, the service is everything that I could hope for and everything that I have eaten so far is magnificently delicious. It is a rare occurrence that I dedicate to eating a restaurant's entire menu but I'm pretty sure that they are learning my name. read more

I haven't been here for a while, but I was looking forward to a healthy tasty meal because I had good memories from it before. Very disappointing. The restaurant smells like smoke and the food was very oily/greasy. Flavor was fine, but my stomach rebelled after half of the meal. I won't be back. I would like to order takeout, but the food was just too greasy. read more

Ordered the pad see ew. This is only my second time overall ordering this dish. Because some years ago I ordered it and it had to much of a brunt taste. This dish had a light burnt flavor that is really good. I got the jayi version which my only complaint would be that the portion is in the small side read more

The place is nicely decorated, food is authentic... a little pricey but worth the serving. Nice friendly people service is quick.

Went at 2:30 on a Friday afternoon and they were not busy. My friend and I each ordered and waited, and waited, and waited. Other customers who ordered after us got their food and were eating, when our food finally arrived, my friends was piping hot and steaming, mine not so much. First 2 bites were lukewarm at best. Had waitress take food back to get it warmed up. Waited, and waited, and waited, by the time food was brought back to me, my friend had eaten 1/2 of her lunch and mine was still lukewarm. Not a good outcome, probably won't go there again. read more

We have never actually eaten here in person - all take out. The quality seems to be the best in the area so we keep coming back. Their system for pickup is not flawless however so double-check your order, make sure you ordered from the right location, etc. parking is occasionally difficult in the mall. read more

We ordered some food to go and it was ready when they said it would and service was great. We liked the chicken satays, although I think the peanut sauce was a little heavy on the peanut butter. The chicken panang curry was good, sweeter than I'm used to but good, came with some rice and we just ordered an extra side of rice which we didn't really need but will be good for leftovers. Where things took a BAD turn was the chicken pad Thai. As soon as we opened the box we were met with a pungent, unpleasant smell. I mixed the noodles, veggies and meat and gave it a try. Immediately no, nope, spit it out. I'm no expert but I think the kitchen was too heavy handed with the fish sauce or something was off. I made my husband try it because I am a picky eater after all but he spit it out immediately. The pad Thai went straight in the trash. I saw another review about the same dish having too much fish sauce so if you're not a fan of it, stay clear from their pad Thai. Edit: I looked it up and pad Thai sauce is made with tamarind, brown sugar, fish sauce and oyster sauce. So this place might have some authentic pad Thai and I'm just not used to those flavors. read more
