The Scene – Quiet word-of-mouth recommendations have been building the business for more than a decade. The style is plain, but comfortable, with squishy vinyl booths and Thai art mixed with travel posters and enormous photos of the Thai royal family. Even on busy nights, there always seems to be a booth available, and the takeout business is nicely unobtrusive. – – The Food – The spice ratings run from one to three stars and can be blindingly hot or quite mild, depending on who's at the stove--be cautious at first. The coconut-peanut sauce, served with all "swimming"…
Editor's Tips
- Save Money:
- Served every day but Tuesday, the lunch specials are a great deal. Try a new dish--prices range from just $5.95 to $7.50 and generally include rice and soup.
- Save Time:
- Call ahead and order out: The speedy service for to-go orders is amazing.
Delicous

I am so surprised to see negative reviews for this restaurant. I have gone numerous times and am always thrilled with the quality of food and the service.
I think they have the best peanut sauce I've ever tasted and their dishes seem very authentic and not Americanized. I've never had watery or bland dishes, as some people stated though I will admit I don't go spicy I've always found my dishes to be very flavorful and I love how many veggies I get in my dishes.
Worst Pad Thai in Seattle
by Sarie B at Citysearch
Not impressed. I love Thai food. My family loves Thai food. I was looking forward to enjoying my favorite dish, green curry but it was anything but a joy! I asked specifically no extra stars, I am almost six months pregnant and well too much spice gives me serious heart burn. When I brought home our curry, it was too spicy to swallow. I know the difference between a one star and a four star. The curry was also real watered down. It wasn't a quality curry. It was full of more veggies than the norm, to make up for the watery consistency. The menu online didn't detail the baby corn, broccoli and green beans that my curry was full of. I called to question my order. Maybe we had a misunderstanding? Maybe I got 'Joe Schmoe's' order who was on his way in? No instead the woman who took my order and wrung got defensive and explained that green curry was just spicy, and that she could make it again but it would be the same. Right. I am offended. Disappointed. Out $20 bucks (which I included a tip even though I picked up an order to go) and now without dinner. There are many many great places to order Thai food but Phad Thai Restaurant is NOT one of them!!!
Better than the reviews would indicate

We tried this place on a whim when Gorditos was closed. The dishes that we ordered were all nicely flavored. We ordered really spicy, which I didn't think we got, but it still tasted good.
- Pros: Nice flavors. Very friendly staff!
- Cons: Not as spicy as I'd like.
bland
by hawkdawg at Citysearch
went here for the first time, its in my neighborhood. the phad thai had no flavor, even with 3 stars. the chicken skewers came with some gross peanut sause, it was very oily and also very bland flavor. the food seemed more traditional style than american-ized versions, but it was still bland and oily.
So-So Thai

As much as I want to love this place being that it's in my neighborhood, I've found the flavor of the food to be lackluster. The Tom Yum Gai in particular was dissapointing - very watery.... I much prefer Sea Thai which has the best Thai soups I've ever had, and I've had a lot.
- Pros: Nice Staff
- Cons: Weak Soup
