What People Are Saying About Thai One On

Featured Review

Anna Roth

Contributor

The Scene – Despite its unfortunate name, this colorful Thai spot is definitely worth a trip to north Seattle. The dining room is bright and boisterous, painted in swirled, Thai-inspired designs in teal and gold, and filled to capacity nearly every night with neighborhood families and plenty of children. Servers are friendly and extremely helpful; though orders can be confused on busy weekend nights, the staff is always quick to right their mistakes. – – The Food – In a town full of homogenous Thai restaurants, this one stands out from the pack. Pad thai, the benchmark…

Editor's Tips

What to Drink:
Skip the overly sweet house cocktails in favor of a Thai beer.
Parking:
There are a few spots in back of the building accessed through the alley; otherwise street parking is usually plentiful.
When to Go:
During lunch, dishes are a few dollars cheaper and the dining room is more relaxed.

Thai One On is the Bomb Dot Com

by Li and Mi at Citysearch

Thai One On is one of our favorite places for any meal, once a week; sometimes more... Working in Lake City and living only a few miles therefrom allows us to visit Thai One On regularly. We take family and friends and they fall in love as much as we have.

Appetizer: crispy crab won tons - so good. Also this warm chile and steak salad, with this great vinegar dressing - to die for!!

Entrees - Phad Thai and Pineapple Curry!! Who woulda thunk it??? Thai Iced tea is a favorite.

Employees are great; always friendly. Food is always hot and full of flavor.

Keep up the great work!

  • Pros: Amazing food, each and every time
  • Cons: TBD

Pretty Good Food, Way Overpriced - They nickel and dime you

by ReviewForYou21 at Citysearch

This restaurant definitely has a wide range of pros and cons. The pros include good food - though the cooking can be hit or miss. Half the time your food will come out burnt. It really depends on the cook in the kitchen for that day. The staff is cordial but not friendly. I don't think I've ever seen any server ever smile there. The problem with the food is that it's extremely overpriced --and they charge you for extra anything. I've never known a thai restaurant to charge for limes with pad thai, but they do. Want a little extra peanut sauce? $2.00. It's pretty ridiculous. The list goes on and on. It's a good neighborhood joint but not worth the trip if you live far away. I will say that their crab rangoons are delicious, as is their pad see ew (when it's not burnt). They have good Thai iced tea and coffee, but they fill the glass up to the brim with ice, so in the end, you get more ice than your actual drink. Their red curry is par to none and very tasty - but half the time they forget to add half the ingredients that are supposed to go in it. It's definitely a toss-up based on the day whether you're experience will be a good one or a negative one.

  • Pros: Very tasty fresh salad rolls, pad see ew, and crab rangoons
  • Cons: Unfriendly service, overpriced, extra add-on charges

Look mate! If you were said the owner was so rude. So do you! Maybe it wasn't they don't want to do business with American. Maybe It was just YOU. You think you own this states huh? I'm an American as much as you do. If you have such attitudes, you are not better than them. I sympathize with people who make the judgment . If I were the owner , I'd never want you to come back neither. I'd better go feed the elephant than cook the bloody food for you.

Good Thai food , good value

by SeattleBoomer at Citysearch

We have dined their many times now and enjoyed it each trip.

Fridays can be very busy with take out orders but we have experienced friendly service. I like the way the staff ask how spicy you care for your order each time. The full bar is a plus.

Is it worth a drive across town in rush hour? Probably not.

However, if you are in the area it's worth a stop.

Thai One On is neat and clean with nice decor for a neighborhood eatery.

  • Pros: Good food an good value
  • Cons: Busy Friday nights and some Saturdays
