Here’s a quick look at what guests spend per person, based on the latest 82 reviews.

Undercooked Food, Cramped Space, Poor Service
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. The veggies and rice were undercooked. The tables are positioned too close together, making it uncomfortable to dine near strangers.
After spending a significant amount of money ($$$), I felt treated like a stranger each time I returned. This experience reflects poorly on the restaurant, especially in a city like Seattle.

Cozy Spot for Comfort Food
My experience at this adorable little restaurant was great! They offer a solid medium amount of food options, so you don't get overwhelmed, covering all the core items you might want. If you're looking for dessert, be sure to ask for the dessert menu as they aren't listed, but they offer really solid Thai options.
It's also vegetarian friendly with a lot of options for protein or different dietary needs. The service was friendly, quick, and helpful, all for a good price. I do recommend going if you want a lowkey dinner spot that is not too busy, a bit cozy, and you want some comfort food.

Delicious Thai Food with Great Service
I stopped here on a Saturday evening for dinner, and this location did not disappoint! A friend had raved about the food, so I had to try it. To our surprise, there was only one other customer.
I ordered the Pad Krapow with Crispy Pork, and my friend ordered the Drunken Noodles with Chicken. The food came out quickly. The waitress was attentive and came back a few times to refill our waters.
The pork belly was crispy and had so much flavor with the crispy basil and garlic! The drunken noodles had a light soy sauce and smoky flavor. I am definitely recommending this place to anyone who wants good Thai food in Seattle!
The prices unfortunately match all other restaurants in Seattle, so they are a bit pricey.

Authentic Thai Flavors at Thaprachan
I really enjoyed my experience at Thaprachan. The food here has that "different" unique Thai taste that I look for. My order was served quickly and handled with care.
I ordered the Tom yum + Rice noodle, which was great, and the Pad Se-Ew was authentic Thai. The atmosphere was rated a 5, and the service was also a 5. Parking was not an issue with a free parking lot and plenty of space.

Amazing Pad Thai and Crab Puffs!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially with the food. I ordered the Pad Thai, Panang Curry, and Crab Puffs. Even though I'm typically not a fan of Pad Thai, the one here was so good I found myself stealing bites from my husband's plate.
We requested mild spice, but it felt like zero spice. The crab puffs were the best I've ever had due to the perfect crab to cheese ratio, which is often skewed towards too much cheese in my experience. The crispy wrap was also incredibly satisfying.
My Panang curry was very tasty too, and the mild spice level was just right. The atmosphere was rated a 5, and the service also received a 5, making for a very pleasant dining experience.
