Noodle Boat Thai Restaurant

Best Thai food, great service. One of my favorite restaurants of all time and definitely the best Thai food around. They have fresh ingredients that are delicious! Huge chunks of fruit and/or veggies and amazing service. Would eat here every night if I could. Have been going for years and haven't tried everything cause they have such a large selection. Highly recommend it!…

The best Thai restaurant... PERIOD. I'm a frequent traveller to Thailand. I love Thai food and eat it often. My biggest problem has always been finding good Thai food that stands up to the standards set in Thailand. Until now. Noodle Boat (not the most confidence inspiring name) is the best Thai restaurant I've been to outside of Thailand and, currently with the sad decline in quality of my favorite restaurant in Bangkok, the best Thai restaurant I know of today anywhere.

For all you foodies out there, only you can fully comprehend the joy of finding a restaurant like this which is both outstanding and inexpensive. If you love Thai food but don't live near Issaquah and have no cause to visit the area frequently, stay away. Like embarking on a long distance relationship, it can only end in tears.

It's not all perfect. The service is just good (would be great, but they're frequently full which means they're a little harried). The atmosphere is okay, but certainly closer to "hole in the wall" than fine dining. However, if you are like me and are all about the food, there are NO COMPLAINTS.…

Spicy Authentic Thai. Tucked away in a nondescript strip mall in Issaquah you will find one of the best Thai restaurants in the Seattle area. Based upon the recommendations of a friend who discovered the restaurant we ordered a few dishes including the seasonal pumpkin curry and one of their house specialties, Ka-Pao-Rad-Khow, ground spicy chicken with basil, peppers and rice.

A few things you should know about Noodle Boat, they close for several months in the Spring for an annual trip to Thailand for research and to make their red curry paste. I love red curry. The red curry sauce in the seasonal curry is by far one of the best I've tasted. The dish is served with rice noodles, personally I prefer rice so next time I'll order a side. Warning, spice is serious business at Noodle Boat, my two star dishes were plenty spicy for my taste. Ingredients are amazingly fresh and the flavors shine. Other favorites I look forward to trying include the Queen of Banana and the Mieng Kum. If I lived or worked closer to Issaquah I'd eat at Noodle Boat weekly.…
