This restaurant is more overrated than Xmen 3
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

04/15/2008 Posted by ksheyman

I have only eaten at this restaurant once or twice. When I first came to seattle I asked some of the locals what the best place for Thai food was. Almost every person said it was Thai Tom. Wanting to see what the fuss was about, I got a friend and came for dinner. The wait is always horrible (I know because I see the line just driving by). They really need a new location with more seating. The portions are tiny. The noodles are always burnt. The chairs have NO BACK. It is so uncomfortable to be crammed in to this dive and sit on what feels like an overturned bucket. There are so many thai places better than this one for around the same price where you don't feel like a sardine. If you are looking for a place on the ave I recomment Thai 65.

Pros: cheap, good location

Cons: almost everything else: uncomfortable, not very good food, long wait

When to Go

While lunch can be slightly less crowded, your best bet is to call ahead and order to go, or sit at the bar. General wait is 20-30 minutes throughout the dinner hours.
