Fairly Priced Thai with Standout Dishes
This is an unassuming Thai restaurant located off Rainier Avenue and near Mt. Baker. Seattle has so many Thai restaurants that they can all blend together, but this one stood out. The price was fair and the food tasted good! I particularly enjoyed the Tom Yum, and the fried shrimp dish was amazing. The food also comes out quick. I would advise skipping the Papaya Salad, as it tasted like bottled lime juice rather than fresh. Their pad see eww and fried rice were just fine.

Delicious Food and Great Service
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I frequently visit for lunch and am always impressed by their lunch specials. Everything I've tried is packed with flavor, and the presentation is impeccable – food truly tastes better when it's nicely plated. I've never encountered a long wait, and the staff are consistently nice, whether I'm dining in or picking up a to-go order.

Favorite Thai Spot in Seattle
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic. It's my favorite Thai spot in Seattle, and I've tried many other places around the city, but none quite compare. This is definitely my go-to. The food received a perfect score of 5, as did the service and atmosphere. The noise level was quiet, making it easy to talk. I highly recommend this place for vegetarians, and the price per person is between $20–30. There was no wait time.

Kind Server, Terrible Food Poisoning
My experience at this restaurant was unfortunately marred by a severe case of food poisoning. While our server was super kind, the tofu pad thai I ordered led to me being glued to a restroom all night. This experience overshadowed the positive aspect of the service.

Spicy Pad See Ew - Worth the Heat!
I'm writing this review the following day and let's just say that two-star spicy is more like four-star! The Pad See Ew was amazing, so good that I'll go back for it again and again. However, next time, I'll be ordering it one-star spicy!

Excellent Thai Food, Great Value
My experience at Thai Recipe was fantastic! The food was excellent, described as rich in flavor, well-balanced, and freshly made. The service was quick and efficient, making it a great option for both dine-in and takeout. I found the prices to be very reasonable, offering great value for the quality. A major perk was the free parking, a rare and welcome bonus in the city. I definitely recommend a visit for anyone craving authentic Thai cuisine without the hassle.

Disappointing Return to a Favorite
I was very disappointed with my recent experience. I've been to this restaurant many times and have always loved the food, but this last visit was not so good. Everything was really dry, and I suspect there might be new cooks. I will not be going back ☹️.

Flavorful Panang Curry Hit the Spot
My friend always raves about the red curry here, but due to family commitments, it becomes an expensive order for him. I, on the other hand, am devoted to Panang curry at any Thai restaurant. After a rough month and a half, my body was craving curry, but my sensitive digestion made me hesitant. However, the craving became overwhelming, so I gave in and ordered the Panang curry with a Thai iced coffee. The rice had a perfect consistency, and the curry wasn't watery, allowing for a pleasant absorption process. The first bite brought a feeling of warmth to my heart, even before my stomach. I ordered it with two stars out of four due to my sensitivity, and while there was a slight kick, the flavor was incredibly full, welcoming, and exactly what I needed. It was flavorful, full, and embracing, satisfying my body's demand for curry. It made my stomach feel good, healthy, hearty, and tasty. I was very satisfied and it helped me get through the day. It was very, very tasty and very, very good. I plan to try the red curry next time.

Favorite Thai Food in Seattle
This is my favorite Thai food in the greater Seattle Metro Area. Even though I live in Tacoma now, I still stop here whenever I can! The Tofu Pad Thai is highly recommended for vegetarians, and they have a large vegetarian selection. The atmosphere, service, and food all received a perfect 5/5 rating. This is a great spot for dinner.
