Better than the reviews would indicate

by ReebsInSeattle

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

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

by leverious

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

great portions that match the atmosphere

by uwbsanders

I've been eating here for 3 years now since I moved to the greenwood area and cant get enough of it, have to go atleast once a week. The service is great and they are always friendly. Better yet, the food is always top notch and delicious with the staple Phad Thai an absolute classic. There is always enough to take home for later but I often find myself close to licking the plate as dinner comes to an end.

A bonus is they deliver locally when you feel like eating Thai at home. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area.

• Pros: food is always delicious
• Cons: not open on weds for lunch

Worst thai ever.

by natek149

I created a citysearch account immediately after eating delivery from this restaurant in order to warn people of how bad the food is. I ordered phad thai and swimming rama (2 stars), both of which were bland and seemed to be lacking in whatever spices normally go into good Thai food. It was extremely overpriced as well, ~$22.50 for two dishes and one order of rice. I really can't stress enough how disappointing this food was. Go to Thai Tom in the U-district if you want good Thai food.

Cheap, Tasty and Great Service

by greenpaws

My roommate and I make a hobby of visiting many thai restaurants in Seattle but this has recently made our top three list for sure! Not only was it the best food we've had in a while but they have the kind of service where they notice exactly when you need water, you're done with dinner and when you want to pay. This hole-in-the-wall is truly a Seattle gem and was fairly quiet so we could enjoy a nice conversation about how much we loved our new find!

Treat customers the way you would hope to be treated

by ruthsdad

The food is decent. I found the manager (owner?) at the register to be very rude. I was given a gift certificate for the restaurant. My bill came to $31, which left me $4 on my gift certificate. When I realized I had neglected to order rice, she charged me the remainder of the gift certificate--$4--to give me rice for one person.

That, my friends, is not the way to run a business. I decided not to complain about it at the time, but rather to leave negative feedback online, so others can use my experience for their own visit.

• Pros: Decent food
• Cons: Rude service

Oh...the peanut sauce....

by rate_a_diner

It's so good. The dishes served at Phad Thai are consistent each time. Service is great... quick, attentative, friendly. They definitely found their strong points and stuck with them. A great restaurant doesn't have to serve every style of dish...they just need perfect the ones they choose to serve. Phad Thai definitely has achieved thier goal.

Great thai food in Greenwood

by brownpokadots

My boyfriend and I live close to Phad Thai and have eaten there about once a week since we've moved to the Greenwood neighborhood. Although the menu is missing some essential curries, mentioned below, the food is always very tasty.

There has been an awkward situation with one of the servers... we asked for chili sauce and she wasn't quiet sure what we wanted and brought Sprite for us instead... our polite correction must have been taken wrongly by her, because she didn't return to the table to give us any other service and sat in the corner staring at us.

Other than this one service blip though we have always gotten wonderful and delicious food from this thai restaurant... I would highly recommend the soup!

Great Thai food with free delivery

by davidpsimons

Tasty Thai food. With free, fast delivery it's a no-brainer if you're staying at home and live in the delivery area.
