14 Restaurants Serving Terrific Thai Food in the Seattle Area

"This new restaurant in Seattle’s Ravenna neighborhood, with older locations in Kirkland, Lynnwood, and Queen Anne is the brainchild of a Thai couple who partnered with friends at popular local chain Bai Tong to bring more cuisine from the Isarn region to the area. Dishes include mushroom fritters and an excellent curry with crab and vermicelli." - Eater Staff

Isarn Thai Soul Kitchen Plans Restaurant in Ravenna - Eater Seattle

"Isarn Thai Soul Kitchen, which has locations in Kirkland and Lynnwood, is about to open a new Ravenna restaurant at 2316 NE 65th Street (down the block from JuneBaby), with an eye on a mid-January debut. The franchise is the brainchild of a Thai couple who partnered with friends at local chain Bai Tong, and has received critical praise in the past for its well-crafted plates, including fermented sausage, pla meuk pad kai kem (sliced squid with salted egg yolk), and a pureed white cod drenched in yellow curry and topped with steamed crab meat. Isarn’s other outposts are still open for takeout, delivery and limited dine-in, and the expectation is that the same will hold for the new spot when it opens, although possible new COVID-related measures could put a crimp in those plans." - Gabe Guarente

Beautiful restaurant, high quality service, amazing food. Out of the 2 times I've been so far and 10+ dishes tried, not one item has missed its mark. Everything is delicious.

Amazing experience! All of our food was very tasty and well-portioned. The grilled pork jowl had the perfect balance between tenderness and firmness. The Hat Yai chicken is extremely crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I am also very impressed with the papaya salad, with the just-right amount of spiciness, sweetness and tanginess. I have so many good things about this place, and will definitely come back whenever I am in the area.

We had dinner here and every dish was so good. The salad was so fresh and everything just blended in perfectly. We got mild spicy food but it was like a hot spicy 🥵

I visited this restaurant twice while traveling to Seattle, and I have to say, the food is incredibly authentic! Every dish was full of flavor and made with such care. Our server, Nicha, was so sweet and provided excellent service, making the experience even better. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for great, authentic food and a welcoming atmosphere!

Tom yum does not look like authentic. Carry is too salty. The rest of food is delicious.

food is not specticular. its a okay thai food place. feel like you can’t go wrong with it. Very popular after 6pm tho. I love eggplant salad and egg yolk squid. The fresh squid skewer also interesting with the special sauce. All other things we order is not bad but not too memorable either. But after I saw the price is less than 80 for two ppl with all our Order, I feel it worth it.

We had driven past this place a couple of times. Today we tried it. What we ordered - Sweet corn coconut salad, Lamb skewers, Beef chu chi red curry What we’ll take away - Amazing food. All the three dishes were excellent. The lamb skewers were the highlight- it came with peanut chutney which was delicious. The service is blazing fast. We got all of them within 8-10minutes of ordering.

Amazing food! Second time trying Isarn Kitchen, first time getting a takeout. Food did not disappoint! Very flavorful and hits all the taste senses. Minced duck salad is by far my favorite. Both phad kee mao and pad see ew are exceptional! The salted egg yolk squid was so tender and nicely seasoned. And the crab meat dish (forgot the name) was light and sweet, but also very flavorful in its unique way. Can't wait to try more dishes from this wonderful restaurant!

Food and service quality are equally good. They offer dishes we usually don't see in other typical Thai restaurants and what surprised me was they have kids menu - so as parent I don't need to worry about if the food is too spicy to share with my daughter. Service is attentive and especially we dined in late like an hour before they close. We still haven't finished yet at the time they closed but we were still being served with more water and they never rushed us like cleaning our table or giving us check until we asked for. If one thing needs improvement I would say the side order sticky rice. It was a little bit too hard to chew, personally like a softer texture. Overall, very satisfied with the food and services! Definitely will go back and recommend to others.

Isarn and Kin Len are sister restaurants and both SO delicious and vibrant and relatively affordable. The ambiance is inviting, full of color and culture. I feel so lucky that I'm neighbors with the Ravenna Isarn! We came and tried new dishes for lunch (dishes shown in restaurant). The hat yai fried chicken was my favorite of them all. The chicken is juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The papaya salad is refreshing and perfectly complements the richer curries and soups. I really enjoyed trying the snapper hot pot which features a whole fish! I also tried durian for the FIRST time here and I'm obsessed. I was bracing for impact on the odor but really couldn't smell much. Tasted amazing. It's the perfect savory+sweet dessert. This is a go-to take out spot for me!!

Isarn Thai Soul Kitchen is always a good spot if you're looking for some good, satisfying thai food. I got the lamb curry and pad kee mao and it was able to restore my appetite when I was struggling to eat anything else. The staff here are very friendly and attentive... but almost too attentive. They checked up on us very often. This particular location seemed to have a lot of seating and good sunlight.

Solid Thai food in the Ravenna area. Isarn is an easy take-out/delivery option for my fiance and me since we live in the neighborhood. The food is generally consistent. Papaya salad, Tom yum or Tom kha. All pretty good. Even with delivery. We dined in for the first time last night, though - and let me say, dining in the restaurant elevated the food! Definitely a step up in flavor and experience. Something about the food served hot is better (obviously). But I was nonetheless surprised by how good the food was. I guess my impression based on take-out was a bit biased. (I'd prolly rate take-out taste at 3 to 3.5/5 stars, which means it meets standards/gets the job done). To be fair, bf and I did not get our norm take-out order last night. We got the lettuce wraps (5/5), spicy and sweet northern style curry (4.5/5), pad kee mau (5/5), and the egg omelette prawn curry (4/5). All were pretty darn tasty. Isarn's food runs sweeter in general, hence 4/5 stars. It's not my preference to be as sweet as they do things, but they do enough with the other flavors (salty, acid/sour, and spicy) to help balance things out. The pad kee mau last night was a stand out with the high wok heat adding that must layer of char to the dish. The interior is beautifully done. Elevated Thai soul food vibes - definitely on par with what I experienced in the heart of modern downtown Bangkok. Highly recommend dining in (not take-out) if you decide to try Isarn. Or if you've only done take-out so far, make the effort to drop in. Parking is usually available in the neighborhood streets.

Came here on a weekend evening during happy hour. Got a beer along with the minced pork and fried chicken. Beer was nice and cold and the minced pork was a lot larger than I expected. Lots and meat and less salad. Was pretty good with the dressing. The fried chicken was also larger than expected and was decent. Didn't seem that special. I think I would go again and try their other dishes.

The restaurant is such a cute date night spot!! Very beautifully decorated :) For just the desserts (durian sticky rice and young coconut cream), it would be a 10000/10! Highly recommend the durian sticky rice! The young coconut cream had tapioca and the option for a poached egg (definitely recommend) The entrees were delicious but we expected the portions to be larger - they were so small we considered ordering more. The crab stir fry yellow curry was better than the salted egg yolk squid but both were super flavorful. Just for the size of the entree, I'd prefer other spots. Servers were attentive and very friendly!

Wow... what an amazing dinner we had here tonight. I've been wanting to check out Isarn for quite awhile, so when we were hanging out in Seattle and the dude suggested Thai for dinner, I knew right where to go. We started with extra cold beers on tap. I had a Singha and the man had a IPA. For food we ordered the stir fried veggies and That beef salad. The flavors were amazing. The salad was full of crisp veggies, a sublime dressing featuring the four classic Thai flavors (sweet, salty, spicy, and sour, and topped with tenderly seared beef. The veggie entree was cooked to perfection, and the side it came with was equally delicious. We were so full from these two dishes, that we got the ginger chicken to go for lunch tomorrow. Can't wait to try it! I must say... the service here was some of the best I've experienced in recent memory. Friendly, helpful, and fast. Loved the eclectic decor too!

I swear, Isarn's mushroom fritters is the bomb. Crunchy oyster mushrooms (battered and perfectly deep fried, served with sweet plum sauce) is a great substitute of any given basket of fries. This is all I need for the happy hour, along with an ice cold pint of beer. For dinner thou, Som Tum and Chiang Mai Curry Noodles are the must-try here. I love the variety of Som Tum they carry here - these papaya salad are very flavorful yet refreshing, with plentiful fresh herbs and spices. Curry Noodle is served in the bowl with a nutty-er, thicker curry soup. Noodle is about linguine width, which goes very well with this kind of soup. Noodle is served with a large portion of chicken and some fried noodle on top - enjoy the different textures of noodles (soft in the soup and crunchy on top of the soup) to savor this wonderful dish. Isaean is a solid Thai establishment in Kirkland, and I will make another visit soon, when I am ready for another 'shroom fritters.

Another great Thai place to go to, I thought the food was good for what the price is plus portion is decent. The inside is kinda small, and service is pretty standard. I personally recommend the Chiang Mai curry noodle. (I really like the side of Pickled Mustard, Red Onions, Lime And Fried Chilli)

I have tried multiple locations, and I love to say that they are consistent! Authentic music and setting, incredible servers that make it even more authentic, and the food is truly outstanding. I love how they call it Thai soul food, because you definitely get the country and culture of Thailand in a dish and in a restaurant experience. I highly recommend.

Isarn Thai is definitely worth a trip if you're looking for authentic Thai flavours with a variety of options. We started with two drinks - the odd couple and the golden eye. The odd couple was definitely a winner, with a nice boozy sour and herbal taste all coming together for layers of flavour complexity. The golden eye falls short though, the herbal flavours drawing too much attention without any balance aside from a singular orange peel. The dishes came very quickly: mushroom fritters and salty crab papaya salad. Mushroom fritters were cooked perfectly, moist and crispy with a tangy sweet sauce to go along with it. The salty crab papaya salad is a classic and does not disappoint, make sure to pair each bite with the prepared cabbage so it's not too salty! Also a word of warning- there are small "raw" looking crab bits in this salad: they are cured and you can gently bite into them to coerce the remnants of flesh out. Finally the coconut curry comes with an abundance of seafood bursting at the top, so much they had a separate plate to hold the remainder, as well as a glass of coconut water from the young coconut used. The coconut cream forms a slurry with the curry and seafood, making delicious creamy curds layered with chunks of cod, calamari and mussels. My only gripe is the menu mentions there's shrimp and scallop as well, which yes there was exactly one of each. Another word of warning: there may be small bits of shell in the curry so consume carefully. The restaurant service was very quick and the decor has a nice modern Thai charm. Overall, Isarn Thai delivers a large array of great Thai flavours in several of their signature dishes, but there are misses that you may encounter, like the golden eye cocktail.

I've come here many times, and my favorite dish is always the lamb skewers with a peanut l sauce! I enjoy the green papaya salad as well. Their cocktails are fun, today I enjoyed the lychee martini. Previously, I've had the cocktail in a coconut - or just the (alcohol-free) young coconut. The restaurant itself looks new, clean, and has a consistent theme. I don't think the service is anything special - the wait staff are kind, but they are not particularly attentive.

With a beautiful community,great people and abundance of pride in life in ravenna, Isarn Thai soul kitchen is a wonderfully crafted restaurant that features absolutely delicious food, delightful staff, a stunning atmosphere and a craving for more!my wife wants me to write about the dish I like the best, but honestly, I can't, because every dish I try, it gets better then the last delicious meal I had. So I will just keep getting a different taste every time I go so I can write about the best dish there- Isarn Thai soul kitchen.

This was recommended by one of my Seattle native friends and it did not disappoint! We had 10 people, so we ordered lots of food. The Crying Tiger and their rendition of Khao Soi (called Chiang Mai Curry Noodles) were two of my favorites. We had also ordered Pad Thai, Pad Kee Mao, Northern Style Sweet Curry, Pork Belly Stew, Isarn Style Chicken Wings, Mushroom Fritters, Lettuce Wraps, and Papaya Salad. I can say that none of these were bad as they were all packed with unique flavors whether it highlighted spice, sweet, or savory tones. The server was also incredibly friendly and provided us some of her favorites to try, and good thing we did! We ended up tipping a generous amount! We got the chance to sit at a table near the back that was kind of blocked off by other wall, which made the ambiance really cool! Felt like we almost had our own room. There were pillows on the chairs making it much more comfortable on our backs. Would recommend making a reservation if you plan to come here! You'll have an amazing time!

This place is honestly one of my new favorite Thai places in all of Seattle! I know Seattle has pretty good Thai food in general, but this place is superb. Not only was a service really fast, but the aesthetics as well as the presentation of the food and of course the taste was really good. GOOD SERVICE: For more context, I came on a Sunday lunch with around nine other people, so 10 people in total. We did not have a reservation, but we were able to sit down quickly and as we were ordering, they were very kind to inform us on our questions about peanut allergies because one of us was allergic to peanuts. So the server kindly went back and asked for us, as well as ensure that all the dishes did not have peanuts in them. FAST DELIVERY: I was particularly impressed by how fast the food came out. After we ordered, within 10 minutes, all of our food started to come out really fast. I noted that the appetizers did not come out first, but we got an main dish first and everything came smoothly. FOOD: all the food is actually really great, one thing we noted is that it's better to do family style since you get to taste so many different dishes. With the amount of food we got which was around eight dishes, five entrées, two appetizers and one salad we were able to actually only pay around $20 per person, which is really affordable. I think most of us really liked the roti dish that came with the lamb curry the flavor was the right amount of intense. One unique thing to know about the appetizers is that with the wings, it comes out to be 10 wings per appetizer (that was something we were curious about) SPICE LEVEL: for the spice level, they rank on three stars. We got all our dishes with one star of spice but it is not spicy at all. If you want a kick of spice, I would go for two or three stars. However, even with one star, the flavor was a good amount of intense and still very flavorful. BATHROOM: Very clean and aesthetic :-)

Probably the best Thai food that I've tried yet! Such a cute spot can be casual or fine dining. The service is pretty good and the food is amazing! Definitely recommend the khao soi and the pad see ew is also very delicious, a good combo for a full meal

Authentic Thai restaurant in Kirkland close to the waterfront. They typically are busy and you have to find street parking somewhere around, which can be a little hectic. For a more Thai dish, try the salty crab papaya salad and the Northern Thai leaf cup nibbles. The salted beef is good also. Definitely worth a try if you are craving Thai food beyond pad thai.

Isarn was recommended by one of my boyfriend's friend from Thailand who thought it was the most authentic Thai food she had come across in Seattle. My friends and I thus came here for dinner this past Friday evening to give it a try. The restaurant has a beautiful entrance with colorful Thai baskets and other cultural items on a wall when you first walk in. It reminded me somewhat of Bangrak Market in Belltown. The interior is trendy and clean and they have both a restaurant seating area and additional seating at the bar. We were worried it would be crowded on a Friday night, but we fortunately didn't have to wait too long for a table. Note that they only take reservations for groups of 6+ people. Unlike other Thai restaurants that just list the different colored curries and noodles with a choice of protein, most of the dishes here were preset with a protein already included. Another important thing to note, is that if you're vegetarian, make sure to ask for the Vegetarian/Vegan menu. Our vegetarian friends didn't know there was a separate menu, and so they thought their dish choices were pretty limited on the main menu. Prices are also reasonable. After perusing the menu, I decided to get the SOUTHERN THAI CURRY WITH VERMICELLI (+$19). I wanted to try something different that I had seen at other Thai restaurants before and that was one dish that stood out to me- plus it came with cod which I've never had in curry before. My friends ordered the Pad See Ew, the Tofu Fried Rice, and the Tofu Pad Thai. It took about 15-20 minutes for them to bring out the dishes. Unfortunately, they had brought mine out first before the rest, and so my food was a little above lukewarm by the time we started eating. The SOUTHERN THAI CURRY WITH VERMICELLI was huge. The noodles took up about 1/3 of the large plate and the other 2/3 of the plate consisted of raw cucumber, pineapple, cabbage, carrots, and pickled radish (plus half a hard boiled egg). It honestly wasn't what I was expecting- I thought the vegetables would be cooked into the curry, but I guess "fresh vegetables" on the menu just meant cut up raw vegetables. The curry was served on the side in a separate bowl. The curry itself was okay- it was creamy but definitely mild, but the waitress didn't ask me for a spice level like she did for the rest of the dishes, and so I assumed it was just preset. As someone who normally gets 3-4 stars, I think it could've used an extra kick or two. The cod was basically shredded into the curry (kind of like egg drop soup), and so I couldn't really use a fork or chopsticks to eat it. The only way to eat it was with a spoon. There also wasn't a lot of cod and so there really wasn't much protein overall in the dish. In retrospect, I think I would've been better off ordering my usual Khao Soi (Chiang Mai noodles), but at least I can now say I've tried a Southern Thai dish. My friends enjoyed their dishes, but also found the spice level mild, even with 3 stars spice. Note that the fried rice was GIGANTIC and so my friend ended up about taking half of it to go. Service was good. They came to refill our water several times and also came by to let us know when last call was. While the setting and atmosphere were nice, I honestly just didn't enjoy my dish that much this time. However, I'm definitely willing to give them another shot and come back to try their Khao Soi and dishes that other Yelp reviewers have raved about. Right now though, I'd give them a 3.5 stars- definitely more than a 3, but unfortunately, not quite a 4. Overall: 3/5 for food, 4/5 for service, 4/5 for atmosphere

Delayed review. Our first time trying this restaurant during lunchtime in the Ravenna district of Seattle. Everything was quite delicious. Service was wonderful. Ambiance great. My favorite was the pad thai. The papaya salad was fresh and good. The fried chicken was quite delicious and generously portioned. The iced tea was refreshing and went well with the meal. Attentive service. Relaxing and nice lunch. Thank you!

Solid Thai place with multiple locations. I really liked the mushroom fritters. It is a unique dish that I have not seen elsewhere. Best eaten immediately. The fried chicken was very crispy but a bit dry. Worth trying but not a repeat entree for me. The Khao soi noodle was delicious. The yellow curry was the best part. I noticed a lot of unique dishes on the menu here beyond the standard pad thai so I will make another visit to try more items.

The food was alright, nothing special, I have had better Thai food. I asked for no onions, green onions, or onions of any kind in my pad Thai and it still came with them. I ended up just picking all of them out and dealt with it l. But then the waitress noticed they were picked out on my plate she told me to ask for no chives or shallots next time because those are not onions. I wasn't planning on complaining about the onions anyway but then for her to bring up that I need to know my chives and shallots really annoyed me, as if I'm supposed to know what every Ingredient is being used. And the chives were in fact green onions. Won't be returning.

AMAZING!!!! I dare say this may be one of my new favorite spots of Thai food in Seattle (and probably anywhere). There were SO many creative items on the menu - I wanted to try them all! Food: -Papaya Salad ($12) - Fresh and Solid! -Lamb Massaman Curry ($21) - Tender, Fall-Apart lamb chunks in a rich, incredible spiced curry sauce. LOVED the crispy puffy roti on the side -Phuket Pork Belly Stew ($16) - Rich, Fatty Pork Belly pieces. Also flavored extremely well. -Side of Sticky Rice ($2.5) Drinks: - Pandan Old Fashioned ($12) - fragrant and lovely -Firecracker ($11 I think) Everything was wonderful, beautifully presented, and had a good amount of protein in it. Very friendly staff. Beautiful interior too, candlelit at night. Street Parking.

Isarn is definitely one of the better Thai spots in town. While they do solid versions of the classics like Pad Thai, Pad see ew, and red curry, they also have a few dishes which are more unique which we love. The mushroom fritter is a nice app if you are looking for something fried. They also have a small section on the menu of grilled items which are quite tasty, especially if you are dining in. The grilled squid is our fave, but it doesn't travel too well for take out. Lamb appears on the menu a few times with the satay and also a really nice Massamun curry with roti. Our favorite dish though is the stir fried squid with salted egg yolk, which totally reminded me of dishes we used to eat in SE Asia when we lived in Singapore. Definitely a nice neighborhood spot with some unique dishes and quality throughout.

First time I had Isarn Thai I loved it, but after the 4th time it's gotten increasing less stars. I've tried several dishes and I would the best thing might be their steak fried rice. The chun mai curry noodle... was disappointing. Didn't like the flavor, and would not get it again. Didn't even want to take it home... The vermcelli cod was decent and the beef fried rice was good. The staff is very nice but I'm just sad about the food...

This thai restaurant has really good curry. The pad thai is good too. Its usually a go to when ordering at thai restaurants, for me. They also make a great thai tea which is so good and compliments the food. The service is nice and quick too. I think their decor and interior of the restaurant aims at making you feel like you're dining in thai land.

The best papaya salad in town! I have been looking for balanced papaya salad ever since I had it in Hawaii and all the ones I tried in seattle area are either too fishy or too salty. Until I had papaya salad here! I am gonna try their other salad next time too. Curry was nothing too especial though. Service is great too. Attentive and knowledgeable servers. Great and cute place that's good for family or dates or friends.

This spot has interesting dishes you might not find on typical menus but I didn't feel they were well executed. The squid with salted egg yolk could have used more egg yolk flavor, and the pork belly in the stew was so dry! Even the pad see ew could have been done better, the noodles were clumped together so some noodles didn't get coated with sauce and were plain white. I would recommend Thaprachan Thai or Secret Savory.

We've been longtime customers of Isarn Kirkland, Lynwood, and Ravenna for so many years as well as Kin Len Thai Bites in Fremont. We would recommend these restaurants to anyone visiting and let them know about our favorite Thai place in Seattle. Unfortunately, we will no longer be coming back as we had incredibly rude servers at the Ravenna location earlier this evening. There was nothing egregious that our party of 4 did to deserve this treatment. The entire time we had servers who were rolling their eyes because we wanted to start with drinks and appetizers and have conversation before ordering our mains. The entire dining experience we were rushed and at one point we had asked one of the servers to take a photo and she acted extremely disinterested and rude. Later in the evening we had ordered a few beverages and as they came to the table, one of the glasses was banged against the table spilling a portion of the drink without any apology or wanting to fill it back up. Sorry, this was not the dining experience we wanted. Incredibly hostile service staff at Ravenna location.

A delicious spot for Thai in the Raveena area that was definitely worth the trek from Seattle proper -- stopped by for an early dinner on a Monday night and it was super easy to grab a table for 3. I'm a huge fan of Kin Len in Fremont and they're run by the same owners -- it's no surprise that this one is great, too. We caught the tail end of HH and they had some specials. The atmosphere is super nice, the servers are very sweet, and all of the food was delicious. We got an app to share and the portion sizes for entrees was very generous. Papaya Salad: delicious and flavorful from their HH menu, and they were able to make it vegan! Phad See Eiw: a Thai classic done right, loved the chewy texture of the noodles and how the broccoli was cooked. Sparkling Lychee: a delicious cocktail from their HH menu, which I highly recommend!

I really liked the unique offerings here. It was very interesting just browsing through all the options... but I could stare at menus all day. Anyway, we ordered two items: Northern Style Sweet Curry: Big, tender chunks of beef in a delicious, sweet, thin broth. Since I like sweet meat, I loved the flavor, but I wish it had something else in it besides beef, liquid, and garnish (although the thin ginger strips were very pleasant). Also had to purchase rice separately. Chiang Mai Curry Noodles: A big bowl of a rich, curry broth covering chicken, soft noodles, & topped with crispy noodles! Also came with chopped red onions & pickled veggie bits, chili oil, and lime. There was a nice little kick of spice in the curry. This dish was impressive overall. The food came out in a timely manner, and service was ok. I would definitely like to come back to try other dishes... and maybe some cocktails.

We ordered take-out from here the other night. I very much appreciate that their menu is labeled for gluten free eaters (so much so that it pushed me to give 4 stars rather than 3). It makes it so much easier to order from restaurants that do this. I got the chicken pad thai (1 star spice). I was trying to avoid ordering 0 stars for fear of not getting enough flavor but I think I should lean towards 0 stars next time. 1 star was just a tad too spicy for me. My boyfriend had the Chiang Mai Curry noodles recommended to him by a friend and he loved his dish. It comes with both hard and soft noodles. This wasn't my favorite Thai place but it wasn't bad - I'd be willing to give it another try.

My friend got the Isarn fried rice and SHE LOVED IT. The beef was well cooked and seasoned, and it was a very large portion that ended up lasting her 2 meals. I got the Isarn lettuce wraps with with a side of sticky rice, and it was also really yummy. The server was so cute and asked If i've ever had Thai lettuce wraps before, and when i said no, she explained to me the steps of making the wrap! They had super fast service and kind staff. It was an enjoyable meal for sure!

I am so happy that my husband and I gave this restaurant a go. We have so far eaten here twice and I'm sure we'll visit more. The restaurant, while not very large, feels open and unstifled. Upbeat music plays in the background as friendly waitstaff is prompt and courteous. The presentation of each dish is a touch of class and the food is so flavourful, I see why they stay busy. Good atmosphere and good food happily being served to the community. Also, don't forget dessert.

The first 5 star Thai restaurant I've found in Seattle!! Lots of street parking on the residential streets around the corner. Pretty empty on a weekday evening. Food was overall delicious, a true 10/10. I most definitely will be back here, especially for the chiang mai curry noodles. hat yai fried chicken ($14.25): Thai style fried chicken, very moist yet crispy and delicious, served with fried onion and garlic on top chiang mai curry noodles ($14.50): GET THIS!!! Egg noodles in a DELICIOUS, creamy, coconut soup, served with crispy noodles on top. This dish is by far some of the best food I've ever eaten in Seattle, what a find! thai green papaya salad ($10.50): yummy and spicy papaya salad, a classic at a Thai restaurant. Big portion plenty to share!

This is one of my go-to spots for takeout. They get busy, so definitely leave yourself at least 30 minutes before you call in. The menu has a lot of great dishes, but things I've tried: - Lemongrass Wings: 10/10 these are heaven-sent and an absolute must - Hat Yai Fried Chicken: 9/10 super flavorful but reco this as a secondary entree. - Stir Fried Squid With Salted Egg Yolk: 6/10 This isn't my favorite but enjoyed exploring new things and flavors. - Thai Green Papaya Salad: 8/10 - Northern Style Sweet Curry: 9/10 such flavorful beef, as it's aged for 4 hours! Get a side of rice to go with this.

The restaurant is really clean and modern. Really nice, easy location to find. Came here during happy hour on accident, recommend getting the Crying Tiger and Northern Style Sweet Curry Wonderful flavours! Hat Yai Fried Chicken was good, but some parts of the chicken were dry.

DONT EAT HERE. Ordered takeout from this restaurant tonight. When I went to pick it up, the person at the front counter was extremely rude to me and to another guy picking up an order, in his case he was a door dash driver, but she treated both of us as if we were mere servants rather than than customers deserving of courtesy or respect. Both of us were people of color and I doubt this is a coincidence. DONT EAT HERE UNLESS YOU WANT A HELPING OF RACISM WITH YOUR FOOD

I'll need to explore more of the menu next time I'm in town because a lot of dishes sounded good, and I opted for dishes I wouldn't typically order this time around. We got the mini wings to share, which were quite literally mini and very sticky. Very little payoff, so I wouldn't order again. We only ate a few, primarily due to the stickiness, and just decided to box them. For my main, I chose the minced duck salad. I was expecting a more traditional bed of greens rather than a lettuce cup situation, but it was still good, albeit a tad salty. You can choose your level of spice for this as well. Staff was friendly and checked in on us regularly. I'd be interested to try their curries and pad thai next time!

I've done a review before for this place and this is honestly our go to place. The food is excellent and you get SO MUCH for a great price! Their cocktails are really good and not as pricey like other restaurants. I mean the lychee martini is $8 people! We've tried other Thai places to expand our horizons, but honestly nothing beats Isarn. Our expectations are too high now ‍ The service is great and quick, but I would recommend coming in a bit earlier on weekends because it gets PACKED! Highly recommend this place!

Big fan of all the Isarn locations! I usually hit the Lynnwood location but this is now the closest and will now help me satisfy my cravings! Stuff tried here: Isarn sausage: i remember not liking these things growing up but now I am addicted! Slight sour fermented flavor which i cant get enough of also comes with slices of cabbage, peanuts and sliced ginger as a palate cleanser. Old school snacking. Chiang mai sauasage: same accouterments as the isarn sausage but this sausage has some other spices mixed in (tumeric?). I would get some sticky rice with either sausage! Mushroom fritters: these are soooo good! Oyster mushrooms i believe? Great flavor that doesn't even need to be dipped in the sauce. Great finger food before a meal Sliced grilled pork shoulder (kor moo yang) very tender and flavorful! Lemongrass red snapper: kind of a cool presentation. Whole snapper used but the meat is sort of removed, fried and put around the crispy head and skeleton. Did this as take out which sadly made it a little soggy. I would try this again maybe when dining in! Everything salad: thai papaya salad but with rice noodles mixed in as well as crunchy pork rinds! Do yourself a favor and get it extra funky by adding the thai fermented crab or anchovies! Pungent! Folks here are always really nice even when they are getting slammed on a very nice warm holiday!
