Not my favorite Thai

by Paidneff at Citysearch

After reading the positive reviews, I was so excited to try out Sea-Thai. I got my order and was highly disappointed. Not only was my Phad Thai not spicy, it was also room temperature. It should have been hot because I ordered it on the spot . The noodles where also undercooked, stuck together, and had a very bland flavor. The peanut sauce had a good texture but the taste was strange and leaves a bad after taste. The veggies were fresh and I did enjoy the salad that came with the meal. The service was very good even though the food wasn't my favorite. My server was attentive and helpful with reviewing the menu. I am going to avoid this Thai spot because of the bad taste and I would suggest you do the same.

• Pros: Service
• Cons: Food taste, parking

Average Food, but fresh taste

by ceci9916 at Citysearch

On Labor day, After I throw away the horrible thai Food I got from Lotus Thai Restaurant at Walliford, I was still hungry and want thai food so bad. So I spend 20 minutes to for a search, and I choose Sea-Thai(buz others don't open on Labor day!) I ordered the exactly same thing: Shrimp phad thai, green beans with oyster sauce. Thank god they didn't disappointed me. The noodle is a tasty and the carrots is RED! (NOT BLACK OR BROWN CARROTS LIKE what I got from Lotus). The green bean is Fresh! Average taste. Take a little points off because the phad thai is a little bit too sweet for me, a little bit too wet(Good Phad thai should be tasty but dry- at least not too wet, means not too much sauce but can still taste the sauce, like crispy hot wing with not hot sauce at KFC), and the green beans is not crispy, too soft. But over all, average taste and most important, fresh!

• Pros: Fresh ingredients, average taste
• Cons: have hard time to understand the owner's English.

Extreme Disappointment

by ChefBell at Citysearch

Heard the ads on the radio, Read lots of reviews, finally went on 8/18/2008.

Ordered two lunch dishes, L1 combo chicken & #5 Phad Thai chicken.

Went to wash up, Bathroom walkway not clean or easy to navigate.

soup came luke warm, plate came curry was barely warm and curdled, chicken sparse & hard.

never had Phad Thai covered with browning iceberg lettus, gross...

Phad thai was overly sweet and mushy also cold. And where's the chicken?

Thai spring rolls way over cooked as if twice cooked

they were dark brown not golden as you would expect. FOOD WAS THE WORST THAI EVER!!

Paid the bill & walked out.

• Pros: none that I could see
• Cons: Food,, cleanliness, parking

Best Thai in Seattle!!

by ReebsInSeattle at Citysearch

I LOVE this place! The avocado green curry and the red curry with the owner's special spice blend are my favorites, but the old stand-bys like the green papaya salad and the tom kum soup are great as well. For those who like it hot, this place delivers. I am one of those people who can't ever get enough spices, but I can get a 4 on their scale (1-5), and be more than happy. For some crazy reason, this place isn't mobbed during the dinner rush, so you won't even have to wait in line.

• Pros: Great food, no waiting, easy parking, really nice servers
• Cons: No real ambiance, but just right for a comfortable neighborhood place

Great Thai food and restaurant experience in Seattle

by utilisateur052008 at Citysearch

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.
