This place is The Best Thai in Town

by bvm12

The food at Kwanjai Thai is fantastic. It is the best tasting Thai with the freshest vegetables and sauces that are made daily and so get spicier as the night goes on. It's fast, reasonably priced and the portions are huge. I get two to three meals out of one order of phad thai. The service is wondeful - they are the sweetest people. They always remember me and the often give me little treats from their own kitchens. I admit I sometimes have trouble with their accents but these people are so good at what they do I don't really care what they are saying to me!!!

Not as good as it used to be

by jewels2007

This place used to be one of my favorite Thai places, but not anymore. Just as a reference point, I love pon proem thai on mercer island, tom's thai on the ave. and I am sure there are more, but those are two of the best. i used to consider kwanjai in the 4-5 star quality, but now it is so NOT good at all. I just went there last night for some food and can NOT believe how bad it was. The food was not fresh tasting at all, it was artificial tasting and generally crappy, more like fast-food thai--the kind of plate you get for $5 at a mall, or in some random thai joint in a city where no one knows thai food. So yeah, I wouldn't recommend this anymore. And I haven't been to this place in two years, what happened? Both meals served were terrible. :-( Kwanjai, what happened?

• Pros: nice waitress, cute dining area
• Cons: terrible food, cold host made the ambience quite severe and un-cute

Most rude service I've EVER experienced

by averagewhiteguy30

I created a profile on CitySearch just because I was so mad after eating here. I asked for a side of broccoli with my curry (broccoli isn't listed on the menu). The waitress, who was already reflecting her impatience with me for ordering it, says "three dollars." No problem, right. So the steamed broccoli comes and I said "Oh, I thought this was stir-fried?" She says "seven fifty." I said "you want seven fifty for the same three dollar portion of broccoli if I want it stir-fried?" She raised her voice, saying "you pay if you wan' stir-fry." I thought to myself, "for a tablespoon of oil and 60 seconds in the wok, you want an extra four fifty?" She wouldn't leave the table even after I said "please just leave." After wafting her away with my hands and saying "leave" she left for the open kitchen where I heard her complaining loudly to her co-workers about me. The curry was okay, nothing special, but who can enjoy a meal when your waitress is ranting at you. Everyone at the table with me was embarrassed. I'll not be back.
