the best thai food you'll have. all the same tips - fried tofu/swimming rama/padsee ew/pad thai. perfect noodles ! they medidate in the morning before the shift so ofc the food is legit.
Chicken Pad Thai was delicious but be ready for loud and tight quarters. If that's not your thing, get it to go cuz you need to taste this yummy food!
The best Thai food you can get. Cash only , small tables (seats 2-3 ppl max), and you gotta eat quick coz the line is LONG!
pretty much anything anything you order here is gonna be good. love the quick service and quality of the food! Panang curry and tofu appetizers is a solid choice! portion of food is perfect!
I asked, "What's good here" and the waitress laughed and said, "Everything! That's why it's on the menu!" She wasn't kidding...
Friends and I ordered while waiting in line outside. Sat down 15 minutes later to our apps already awaiting and the chef finishing up all 6 of our dishes at once. Food is DELICIOUS.
Some of the best Thai food I've ever had. Limited seating , but any potential wait is well worth it. Have yet to have anything bad from the menu.
The best Thai food hands down.. Hole in the wall place serving spicy ginger eggplant , panang curry ..they only take cash but nothing beats their spicy food
If you're getting appetizers fresh rolls are A-mazing!!! We were gona get the fried rolls but the waiter recommended the fresh ones, definitely the right choice!
Pad thai is easily the best pad thai in the city . Also try panang curry , swimming Rama , and spicy noodles . FYI, it's extra spicy here. I get a 3 where I usually get a 5.
Always a line and there is a chance they will sit you at the counter top where it's freaking hot. Try to get a table, if possible. Panang curry is to die for
Must try place in U-district . Curry fried rice and panang curry are awesome .. Dont try spice level above 2-3. Its too spicy food :)
*Warning* Thai Tom spiciness level is greater than most, but that's what I love about this place. There is pad see yew that's not on the menu . Get it with fried tofu . Yum! 5 stars, of course!
Super hot and smoky inside. Food was cooked on a huge open flame in front of me
Tom is a mad man on the grill, cooking 5 dishes at once in front of you at the counter. Pad Thai is a must.
Get there close to opening time to avoid the line , and don't forget it's cash only . I don't think they have any wine , but heck, try the Thai Coffee !
Cramped and blaringly loud music . The Panang Curry and Phad See You Again are delicious and worth it! Cash only .
Unbelievably good food, cramped place, they hurry you out, and they take cash only .
New favorite Thai place in Seattle! Ginger eggplant and swimming Rama were awesome!
Sit at the bar at lunch and you're gonna have a good time.
The Pad See You Again (actual name) was the best I've ever had.
They're always busy, so sometimes your for can take forever, so if you're hungry, order some deep fried tofu or soup to get you started while waiting for your entree
Cash only ! They’re quite busy during COVID. Call ahead to place your order.
The best Thai food I've ever had. Their spicy scale actually means something too.
The owner recommended me Swimming Rama and it’s the best I have ever had
Stop think about what you order. You will order a Pad Thai . Say yes when they ask if you want it spicy . RRRRRRR.
Best in Seattle, flavor unlike anywhere else. Also, best Tom Yum anywhere.
Years later this place is still kicking ass. Sit at the bar for the splash zone experience.
Delicious Thai Food ! Cash only .
Try the Chicken Pad Thai - Another "cash only " Seattle restaurant surprise. Wonder why I never heard of Thai Tom before!
Best place to dine here is at the counter. Watching the chef is like dinner and a show! This place only seats 18.
Tiny place, good food, guy at the front was friendly , only takes cash, no beef dishes .
Tom Kha Soup ! Creamy with a great array of veggies
Cash only . Stool seats are weirdly tall compared to tables.
This is the best Thai food - maybe altogether the best food - in Seattle! Swimming Rama w/ Tofu !!
Recommended: Pad See You with tofu ! Different aromas and textures create an amazing entree.
The best Thai place around Seattle. Curry chicken fried rice with cashew and Pad Thai are must try.
Well worth the wait - consistently good Thai dishes in a cozy yet frenetic atmosphere
This place is stupid small and the service can be pretty meh, but the food is really, really good. Swimming Rama 4 Life.
Get take out and have a picnic . Great pad Thai !
Pad Thai with shrimps ????
One of the few restaurants where you stand a good chance of catching on fire. One of my favorites!
Probably the best Thai food in Seattle . Service is left to be desired. Typical Asian restaurant , open & close when they want. Don't bother coming @11:30 b/c they won't start cooking until noon
Delicious food, decent spice and cast iron pots :D
Go for the food not for the service. Pad Thai , Salad w/ Peanut Sauce , Red Curry - all good stuff.
I don’t really understand why this place gets so much attention.It was a disappointment.The kitchen, plates,chopsticks, everything was so dirty . Be careful about insects as well !Not going there again.
Best chicken pad thai ! Good spring rolls too.
Amazing Thai food for a hole-in-a-wall place. Order their Peanut Sauce side - goes w/ everything!
The best Thai food I ever had
Best Thai fried rice I've ever had!
Good gluten free and vegetarian options. Not anything amazing, but solid tasty Thai comfort food! - Taija Tevia-Clark
Beautiful, charming old concert space. Huge reverberating acoustics. Good drink prices, stick with New Belgium beer. - Miraj Shah
Their avocado smoothie with tapioca is to die for! - Hanne Ockert-Axelsson
A wonderful place to lay back in a sunny, summer afternoon and read a book. - Michael Fox
