Delicious food, worth the drive!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the house special curry in the coconut, which was absolutely delicious. Although I don't live locally, I would definitely drive back for this place.

Best Thai in Ballard!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I found it to be the best Thai in Ballard, offering delicious food at reasonable prices. It's also open late, which is a huge plus. I'm happy to be a regular customer here!

Amazing Thai Food and Service!
I had the best experience at this cute Thai restaurant, thanks to the excellent service and, of course, the food. The shrimp fried rice was amazing, perfectly seasoned, and packed with shrimp. The beef noodles were equally delicious, with tender beef and perfectly cooked noodles. 10/10✨

Incredible Thai Food Experience!
I'm not very familiar with Thai food, but on a whim, I decided to take myself on a date and tried a green Thai soup dish. Oh wow, the food was incredible! It had me burning my mouth, it was so good I couldn't wait for it to cool off 😩. The staff is super sweet and helpful. The atmosphere is classy, modern, and romantic. It was a 10/10 experience. They've only been here a year! Go give Nua Thai some love guys! ❤️

Amazing Thai Dining Experience!
My experience at Nua Thai Restaurant was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. The service was excellent, the environment was clean and cozy, and the food was truly amazing. We ordered the grilled steak, grilled pork jowl, Sai Oua, pumpkin crunch bites, pineapple fried rice, and the Sansane drink. Every dish and drink was absolutely delicious, and the staff made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. We had a wonderful visit and will definitely be returning to try more items on the menu!

Disappointing Takeout Experience
I ordered takeout and found the employees to be nice. However, the food was a letdown. Both the Tom Kha and Pad Thai were below average. The Steak was particularly disappointing; it was gray on the outside and purple in the middle, a far cry from the advertised photo. I tried it anyway, but it was chewy and raw. I called twice to request a refund for the steak, as it was not edible, and was promised one, but never received it, losing $20.

Uncompromisingly Good Food!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic. The food was very legit and distinctly not boring, with an uncompromisingly good approach. I particularly loved the nam kao tod and guay tiew ruea, which had an amazing balance and spice work. I will definitely be back.

Incredible Food and Service!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The food was incredible, with delicious flavors that were unlike anything I've had before. I especially recommend the Mae Ploy 24 cocktail, which was truly unique and delicious. The service was great, with very friendly and comfortable staff. The atmosphere was also pleasant, described as quiet and easy to talk in, with a rating of 4. The restaurant offers a vegetarian menu or section and is highly recommended for vegetarians. Parking was plentiful at 6 pm, and there was a slight ramp for wheelchair accessibility with no stairs inside, offering plenty of room. There was no wait time.

Still Impressed by Nua Thai!
Having visited over fifty Thai restaurants, many in the Seattle area, I can confidently say that Nua Thai still managed to impress us! The food we ordered was a delightful range, from very solid dishes like the mango sticky rice to absolutely exceptional ones such as the pad see ew, kao soi, and horapa. I strongly recommend Nua Thai!
