Gao Lhao Bangkok Noodle Shop

Excellent new Thai restaurant in Greenlake! The food and service were both 10/10. My wife is from Bangkok and said the noodles were the best she’s had in the U.S.—they reminded her of home. Every dish we tried was outstanding and very reasonably priced. This place offers a unique style of Thai cuisine, blending Thai and Chinese influences, inspired by the Chinatown in Bangkok. You don’t find this kind of menu often, and they absolutely nailed it. The service was warm and friendly, and we didn’t have to wait long for our food. The interior has a great vibe and feels like you’re in the Chinatown of Bangkok. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Had dinner during the soft opening and tried several dishes. Appetizers: •Chive Cakes: Crispy, like veggie tempura. Nice chive flavor and a sweet-spicy soy dipping sauce—great combo. •Crab Beancurd Rolls: Fresh crab, shrimp, and water chestnut in crispy beancurd. Similar to dim sum, with a tasty sweet sauce. Entrées: •Mama Tom Yum (Seafood): Served on an alcohol flame with two raw eggs and instant noodles. The soup had a classic Tom Yum flavor but could use more spice. Seafood (crab claw, scallops, cod, squid) was fresh; prawn was too soft. Noodles were nicely chewy. •New York Steak Curry (Medium Rare): Steak was tender and flavorful. Not sure about the oversized cauliflower/broccoli, but the veggies were okay overall. Dessert: •Ai Tim Tod (Fried Coconut Ice Cream): Crispy outside, creamy inside. Topped with dry pineapple slices and caramelized pineapple—very good presentation and taste. Drink: •The Goldsmith: Solid cocktail with real gold. Wait time: Around 40 minutes.

finally a chinese thai noodle shop. everything was great here as it just opened yesterday. cozy and fancy decor but serving comfort foods of thailand. price wasn’t bad and the portions are quite generous. been craving crispy pork belly over dried noodle for a very long time.

Came for the soft opening. Staff was super inviting kind and friendly. The decor is beautiful with cocktails having a fun twist. Love it and can't wait to go back.

Great noodles and cocktails! Decor is cool. Liked the Tom Yum Moo and clay pot noodles 🦀🍜 were delicious

Love the concept and the food! Its Chinese Thai fusion which I've never had before and it was delicious. We got the bbq pork bha mee hang, golden four corners, a-ma's cup of tea, and mangkon dragon. They had vegan options which was great. The staff were all very kind and our food and cocktails came out in a timely manner. Love the ambiance. Can't wait to come back! Was pleasantly surprised to see how many people showed up for the soft opening and hope everyone gives them grace considering how busy it is

There is one. One single vegetarian entre. And it’s bad. Totally regret this place moving in. The place is LOUD. Think children running around without shoes and screaming. Between that and the absolutely flavorless noodles, it’s a bit like a child’s birthday party restaurant with buttered noodles. Hell, get some noodles at home. Add salt. And you’ll have a quieter. Better dinner. That said. The drink was amazing Look I get it. Your menu. Your choice. But 2025 and one vegetarian option. I’d be ok if this place goes under.

The food is very delicious.

I'm Thai, and I'm glad to see a new authentic and unique Thai restaurant in the area with reasonable prices. It's from the same owner as Isarn Thai Soul and Kin Len, so if you like those, you'll probably enjoy this place too. Nice decoration and a big space. We came before noon on Saturday and were able to get a big table for our group. My favorites were the Mama Tom Yam Hotpot, Mama Pad Prik Pao, and Sangkhaya Bai Toey for dessert. The menu has a lot more I want to try, so I'll definitely be back. Service was good and very attentive.

Such great food, ambiance, service and drinks! I tried their Thai Tea Slushy and absolutely loved it, it was the perfect amount of sweetness. Oriental refresher was tasty too. My family and I did family style and everything was SO good but my favorite would have to be Sukhothai Gao Lhao bowl. If you like SPICY tom yum flavor, give this a try! I will go back just for this! We tried three of their desserts and honestly you can't go wrong with any, but their fried ice cream was DELICIOUS and beautifully presented.

Everything was so good. What I like the most is the difference in Thai food. If you want to try new things this is a must. Thy fish sauce wings are at sweet and tangy. The black sesame desert is great too.

So glad that Greenlake finally has a restaurant it deserves! Loved the food and am already making plans to go back

Was excited to try this new spot b/c Isarn is my most favorite Thai restaurant in Seattle. Came to the soft opening and they did not disappoint! As the concept is Chinatown in Bangkok, we had to try the roasted meats on the dry noodle which was delicious. Also sprung for the crab. They give a generous amount of toppings! Then we had the fried cod with garlicky sauce and apple relish - yum! The food sways a bit sweeter than I personally need, but I think it will appeal to you. The black rice dessert was actually the perfect not-too-sweet ending for me. Love the gingko nuts in there, as well. Will definitely be back since the menu is enormous! And the cocktails look amazing! Finally, I have to comment on the design of the space which is impeccable . . . . great attention to detail from the walls to the tables to the dishes and the cutlery. And the staff were all so kind and competent -- even if they're not literally related, it feels like a hip family-run restaurant. Congrats y'all on your opening!

Attended during the soft open and everything was delicious! We started with the Chrysanthemum Slushy which was sweet & fragrant and the Mala Plum Saa which was sour & refreshing. For appetizers, we had the Crispy Chive Cakes and Crab Beancurd Rolls which both had great textures & flavors. The New York Steak with Garlic Fried Rice had the best spicy, tangy sauce and bits of steak fat cooked into the rice. The Mama Tom Yum with crispy pork belly was perfectly creamy & spicy (side note: our bill showed an extra $1 charge for crispy pork belly which wasn't reflected on the menu, but unsure if this will be a regular charge or just something for the soft open). We finished with the Bi-Co-Moi (sticky rice with ice cream) which was a great way to finish the meal. Overall, the service was excellent; everyone was so kind, water was refilled proactively, and dishes/utensils to share were brought out whenever needed. Looking forward to their full open, super excited to go back and try more!
