Djan Dining

Bad service, inconsistent food. This used to be one of my husband's favorite Thai restaurants. At first it seemed like a wonderful place, the service was decent and the food was above average. The space is a remodeled house, with a white dining room with candles and flowers. There is an upstairs space but I have yet to see it. The restaurant is actually perfect for a first date, the food and the service could kill it though.

Food: It’s no longer great. Some of the dishes are ok, the pad see ew that I had last time I was there was decent. The dish that my husband had, I believe it was something like garlic beef, was very tough with little flavor. As for drinks, pretty standard. The Thai iced tea was exactly the same as every other place. They also have wine and beer.

Service: In the last year it’s gone downhill. The last time my husband tried to order delivery the woman on the other end could not understand that he was saying 80th St. He said it at least 10 times. He said it slowly, clearly, loudly, and spelling it out for them. They still didn’t get it. Eventually he told them goodbye. I understand that it’s a Thai restaurant and English isn’t the first language, but a fluent English speaker should be operating the phones. It was ridiculous.

The last time we ate in house it was a busy night, I’ll give them that. But when a restaurant brings the appetizer out with the meal, it’s a no-go. It didn’t help that the waitress was curt and rather rude multiple times. It made for an uncomfortable atmosphere.

I won’t be going back, such a pity. They have great potential.…

How does this place get such great reviews when the food is bad..... I don't normally write reviews, but felt compelled to do so in this case. I have tried this restaurant in the past and did not have a very good experience (the food was very bland). Recently I decided to order take out and thought I'd give this place another try based on the reviews I saw here. Once again I was very disappointed with the quality of the food. The fresh spring rolls were tasteless and the chicken Phad Thai is the worst I have ever had. The noodles were very slimy and although I had ordered chicken, the dish had a bad seafood taste to it. I could only take a few bites before I had to throw the meal out. Trust me I'm not very hard to please when it comes to food and am rarely critical of restaurants. If a basic such as Phad Thai can't be prepared well, how is this place getting such great reviews?…

Favorite Thai Restaurant in Seattle!. After too many disappointing meals at Thai-ku in Ballard, my boyfriend and I were so thankful to find Djan's in Wallingford! The atmosphere is quiet and cute (votive candles, fresh flower arrangements on every table), the service is polite and attentive, and the food is delicious! We have both since taken our family and friends for dinners there and no one has been disappointed. My favorites are the green curry and the noodle dishes!I am always surprised that this place isn't busier, but I don't mind not having to wait for a table.…
