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.

I am a huge Thai food critic and SeaThai is hands down my very favorite Thai restaurant in Seattle! Being that I lived in Thailand for 2 years I consider myself a pretty good judge of authentic Thai food. The owners are very friendly, and aim to please all who come to their cozy, authentic restaurant. I have had almost every one of their dishes that they offer on the menu and all of them are amazingly delicious! The past reviewer obviously has no knowledge of "real" Thai food, sounds like he is more of an Americanized Thai food critic. The sum tum salad is a traditional dish in Thailand and SeaThai is the only restaurant that is able to serve it perfectly, spice and all. Their Thai desserts are to die for, hats off to SeaThai for making me feel like I am right back eating in Thailand. Thank you for your delicious, spicy, Thai cooking!

Pros: Food, service, and desserts!

Cons: none

I tried Sea Thai for the first time last night. Craving Thai, I thought I'd try a new place and took the #1 rating and most the good reviews at their word. Seriously? I called for take-out (they delivery also). When I picked it up, I saw there was only one couple eating (a bad sign at any good restaurant on a Friday night!). The pork in the Phad Thai was terribly overdone and dry, not much flavor on the noodles, and many of the noodles were overcooked and dry as well. I also ordered garlic prawns, which is my go-to dish and one that I judge at every restaurant. It was more like a garlic prawn salad, simply sauteed prawns, which were tasty, but over iceberg lettuce and onions versus the broccoli, carrots that most restaurants use. Overall, not a great experience and I won't be back. Who is judging and reviewing these places??

For food with lots of flavor and care put into it - Sea Thai is the place to go... Also the delivery area is wide and comes to us in Phinney Ridge so it's extremely convenient. They make the best Tom Kha Gai and Tom Yum Gai I've ever had, and the Tom Yum Gai is particularly good if you're feeling under the weather - with it's spicy chicken broth filled with lots of good herbs and spicdes, it will perk you right up. Also love the Mieng Kahm - leaves that you roll up with a variety of fillings, including peanuts, toasted coconut, chilis, ginger, lime segments, and a sweet sauce - it's pungent good stuff... even my 8-year-old loves it. Also highly recommend their green papaya salad, the crab/cream cheese wontons, and the Moo Tod (ground pork patties.... I believe this is run by a family, all of whom are very friendly and helpful... SeaThai is truly a little gem.

Pros: Best Thai Soup EVER

I have been to many restaurants in the Seattle area and always try to find new places to eat. I got two bites into my Spinach Delight and when to take a bite of my Pad Thai when I discovered a non-food item in my food. Absolutely disgusting.

Pros: Unsanitary

Cons: Looked good

I love that they deliver! I agree with the user below, a 2 is plenty. My boyfriend loves heat and the 3 was even just a tad too much for him! (Although that didn't detur him at all...it was still very good). The cream cheese wontons are fabulous! The pad-thai is very good, but I did find myself wanting more bean sprouts and lime. But still very worth your money! My boyfriend always gets the peppered beef, super good. The dipping sauce that comes with the appetizers is super sweet but great! I've also had the red curry chicken and it was good.

If you want American Thai, def go somewhere else. But if you're looking for real Thai and real Thai spice, this is the place go - or better yet - get free delivery! I love the Swimming Angel Tofu and Panang Beef. The bf always enjoys one of the many seafood dishes. We usually order several dishes every Thursday night and have a Thai buffet through a good part of the weekend before popping down to ID for dim sum.

Pros: Authentic, Great Food - Veggie, Meat and Seafood

Cons: Be ready for the spice

A few weeks back when it snowed like crazy my boyfriend and I were to lazy to walk to the ave for some Thai and went on citysearch to find places that deliver and found good reviews about Sea Thai. We ordered Pad Thai and it came hot and delicious. We have since ordered from Sea Thai many times and are looking foreward to actually eating there. If the experience at the restaurant is anything less than exceptional I will be shocked. This is by far the best Thai food I have ever found in Seattle, and it is rare to find delivered Thai that actually is edible. Give Sea Thai a try!

Pros: Delivers, Lots of food for little money, AMAZING FOOD

Cons: Delivery wait can be long

It was my first time here and I will never go back! I ordered a Nam Kao Tod, which was recommended several times on this site. It was room temperature (I sat there and waited for them to cook it so it should've been hot) and all I could taste was really strong ginger and lime...nothing else. I couldn't even eat it, and that rarely happens. I got it as take-out and called them to let them know. All they said was "Oh, yeah that's how it is." I have been to many great thai restaurants and I definetly do not recommend this place.

Cons: service, food

Sea Thai has excellent & inexpensive food. The lunch specials are especially great...you can't beat a good Phad Thai lunch for under $5.

Pros: Great Food & Prices

Cons: Parking
