I just tried this for the first time, this many reviews cant be wrong. There is a reason their rating is so high here. I have passed by this place before and didnt stop in because they looked shut down, outside parking lot was empty, it was kind of dark inside, outside looks kind of beat up. DO NOT LET APPEARANCES FOOL YOU, THIS IS BOMB! After reading the reviews here, I thought I would stop by again, this time actually parking instead of driving by. When I parked on the side I could see the open sign, they are still in business (7-9-2014) and with this kind of service, their regular customers will keep them that way. My wife and I both ordered our favorite dish "Pad Thai with Chicken". I have been many places that use a "Five Star" spice rating system. 95% of these places lie (Like taco bell fire sauce, its mild to me). I ordered mine "Six Stars", my way of letting the cook know I am serious, not some kid gonna order something spicy acting tough and complain later. My wife got 4 stars and said it was perfect. The cook warned me 5 stars is very spicy. I said okay, I will take 6, he said, "Okay but dont cry for me" lol! I cried while I ate it. It was bomb and burned, mind the 5 star scale, I eat food with two drops ghost pepper sauce per bite for perfect spice. 6 was too much, next time I will get 5 stars. SPICE ASIDE, my wife and I agree this is the best Pad Thai we have ever ate, and I have been eating it many places for a long time. We will definitely return, and I highly recommend that you dont judge this book by its cover, but by its flavor. Enjoy!

The atmosphere in this restaurant is what i have come to expect from the smaller restaurants. The service is good and the people are friendly. I ordered the fried spring rolls with an order of my regular gang dang gai. The spring rolls arrived quickly and much before my red curry. These spring rolls were filled with quality food product and not processed like a few i have seen. I was almost completely done with the spring rolls when my gang dang gai arrived. This was perfect timing. The flavor of the gang gai was rich and what i would expect from a three hot. I usually eat everything ultra hot but opted for moderate heat today. I am glad I did as it was probably a four or five compared to my regular restaurants. One thing that bugged me and i pause to mention this, but I smelled dirty litter box as I ate the gang dang gai. I tried to put it out of my mind but the smell was definately coming from the curry. So take this with a grain of salt. The rice was a bit dry and I prefere it a bit more on the moist side. Overall I will give this place a 4 rating. I hope others can dispell the litter box smell that i was experiencing. I am accute to the smell as i am allergic to all things cat especially their spray.

Chicken Pad Thai tasted spicy yet oddly bland, on point with previous reviews. Also, cheaply made, no limes given or sprouts on the side like every other restaurant. Reading the others reviews maybe I should have had the curry. What I witnessed and subsequently encountered is why Im writing this. Before I ordered a random person walked in and quietly tried to sell seafood from his trunk. Instead of the manager or owner sending him away, he asked questions like what kind, how recent was it caught, etc. The guy left saying hed be back later, it was dinner rush and busy. This is concerning because this food isnt cleared to be sold to the public and can cause serious health problems. Then as Im eating the chicken it tasted spoiled and tainted, I ended up tossing the food and as Im writing this Im nauseous and have a bubbly stomach. This is sad because a few years ago this place was my favorite place. It definitely has gone down hill. I started working in the area again and Ive waited for weeks to stop by when I could, such a disappointment.

My wife and I have eaten a lot of Thai food around the US (look for my other reviews if you dont believe me) and were pleased to find authentic Thai at a great price. Any time the price is below 10.95 we get skeptical...needless to say the food was great. There ARE vegetarian options on the menu, I had vegetables with tofu and rice, and they do have a 5 star spice rating menu. 5 stars isnt for the weak stomach. My wife got Pad See Ew and it was the best she has had in months. This place is great and not "Fast Food" so expect to sit and chat with friends. Its worth it. The only reason my post is so detailed and long is because I heavily rely on Google reviews to find good Thai places while traveling and think that the 1 star reviewers are just undignified people resorting to low tactics in order to bring business to their places. Hope this helps you in your decision as well. :)

It was 2:30pm, restaurant was open but had no patrons. Four of us asked where to sit and were asked to occupy any table available. We sat down and went through the menu. First no one showed up for what seemed a long time in an empty restaurant. Then one of our friends simply asked if there was any vegetarian option. Upon learning there was nothing vegetarian the friend suggested we go to someplace else. This made the person so angry that he immediately snapped and said - "you shouldve asked at the counter before you sat down on the table". Really? In a sit-down Thai restaurant? May be it was past lunch time but we did ask if theyre serving food at the time and buffet did not seem to be an option with food containers being empty. I cant withstand bad food but bad service and outright rudeness in a restaurant is completely uncalled for. We wished him luck and left the place.

This place is terrible. Truly, the food is awful and the service is even worse. I ordered pad thai which is basically a gringo dish and I ordered 1 out of 5 stars for spice because I am not a fan of spicy food. However this was intolerably spicy. I got the hiccups after 2 bites. I threw it out and mistakenly went back to get something different. The man was a complete jerk about it. I did not even ask for my money back. He should have been happy to sell me two dishes. So I took a gamble and went with the fried rice. It was white rice mixed with onions and chewy pork. The rice was not fried. Just sticky rice and onions. Avoid this place like the plague. Ps. Any reviews this place has that are positive are faked by the owners. I wouldnt let my dog eat this food. Actually he probably wouldnt eat it anyway.

I enjoy the Red Curry here and the Phad Thai and prices are good, especially when compared to the Thai places in Redmond. Its not a fancy place but is a homey hole in the wall kind of family place. The owners are very friendly and make it a point to remember my familys interests and talk with us every time we are there. I have been there at least 50 times over the years and look forward to the Curry every time. Spicy.. If you add additional "stars" to the spicy factor.. the wife cooks one star higher that the husband. His 4 star is about the same as her 3 star. I ordered it at 4 once and she cooked so I got a 5 star... WOW, spicy.... But I loved it.
