Editorial Review for Sea-Thai – by Helen Freund
In Short
Gold and brass-gilded ornaments, flashy fans and an unusual selection of antique teapots and memorabilia fill this tiny room with dreams of distant treasures. Popular lunch item Sea Thai Noodles packs in everything but the kitchen sink with sauteed wide noodles, chicken and spinach, topped off with a generous portion of simmering peanut sauce. Dessert brings black sticky rice pudding soaked in sweet coconut milk.

User Reviews for Sea-Thai

My son and future daughter-in-law took me to this little gem for mother's day dinner and we thoroughly enjoyed the dishes that we ordered. The yellow curry was flavorful with lots of chicken pieces and the right amount of spices, the green papaya salad was fresh, the pad see iew had just the right amount of toppings and seasoning and the phad thai tasted just like the ones we had tried during our various stops in Thailand a couple of years ago. We shared the mango in sticky sweet rice which was excellent. If the indication of a good restaurant is by the number of return customers, then Sea-Thai would definitely fit the description as some of the folks who were eating there that night were regulars. The owners are very friendly and helpful.

I am a huge Thai food critic and SeaThai is hands down my very favorite Thai restaurant in Seattle! Being that I lived in Thailand for 2 years I consider myself a pretty good judge of authentic Thai food. The owners are very friendly, and aim to please all who come to their cozy, authentic restaurant. I have had almost every one of their dishes that they offer on the menu and all of them are amazingly delicious! The past reviewer obviously has no knowledge of "real" Thai food, sounds like he is more of an Americanized Thai food critic. The sum tum salad is a traditional dish in Thailand and SeaThai is the only restaurant that is able to serve it perfectly, spice and all. Their Thai desserts are to die for, hats off to SeaThai for making me feel like I am right back eating in Thailand. Thank you for your delicious, spicy, Thai cooking!
Pros: Food, service, and desserts!
Cons: none
