Orrapin Thai Cuisine

Editing my review: the waiter didn’t charge us for the brócoli which I really appreciate. We ordered Tom Yum soup and Chinese brócoli. The Tom yum soup we are used to is more sour than sweet. I don’t know if it’s just a different style but the flavor of the soup was really off. The Chinese brócoli was extremely bitter. I’ve had Chinese brócoli many times before and this one was not edible from how bitter it was.

Went here as a work lunch with a co-worker. Service was on point and our food was amazing! Will come back 100%

Phenomenal food I can’t put into words what my mouth and stomach feel this place is bar far the best Thai I’ve ever had

Here is a-must Thai restaurant to visit in Queen Anne. Perfect and Satisfying !

I really loved this place; I ordered green curry sauce, which was really delicious. I would definitely go back again! The staff were friendly and nice, and it was beautiful to sit outside and enjoy the food. 😊

Went here for lunch and the place was not that busy. Service was pretty fast and the place looked okay. They had outdoor seating as well. They greeted us with some cucumber soup, on the house, which was very refreshing. I had ordered the red curry with chicken which was pretty decent. I would order that again . My wife took another entree and I think it was kee mao moo. It was a sauteed pork dish but tbh we did not like it.

Ordered takeout and unfortunately, most of the food was very bland and had very small portions for the price. Pad see ew, Thai fried rice, and Tom yum soup were all very bland, almost no flavor. We asked for mild spice on all dishes, but while most of the dishes had no flavor or spice, the parang curry was extremely spicy. Very inconsistent across dishes. Really wanted to like this place but probably won’t be going back. Also note there is a 5% to-go fee for takeout orders.

Only had one dish here split with two, the Mushroom Lover (added tofu) and it was very good. Unique dish, very fresh and tasty.

Meat in the soup is very soft and melts in your mouth! broth is very refreshing. server was very welcoming! great music choice for the vibe of the restaurant. Wonton was very flavorful and was perfect.

I had a chicken dish last night with brown rice that was DELICIOUS and juicy. This is by far the best Thai I have had in all of Seattle, and I am very particular. Great service, polite staff and nice wine with a quiet airy atmosphere. I highly recommend.

I've had a lot of Thai food in my time and Orrapin's has the best Pad Thai I have ever had. I also love the Pad See Ew and Spicy Penang Curry. They are amazing and it's hard to believe such amazing quality is hiding at this inauspicious little place in Queen Anne.

Orrapin is a gem. When you're craving Thai food, it always hits the spot. The atmosphere is cozy and the servers/owner are always so welcoming. Also a huge plus is that there is easy parking nearby along 1st Ave N. If you go, try the Mama Noodles! So good!

We really wanted a place away from the hustle of the conference we were attending. The drive to the Queen Anne district was stunning, and the restaurant sits amongst other small spots in the neighborhood shopping area. They have a cocktail area down a few steps with small tables and booths, but we decided on a dinner table where we still ordered unique and ginger-infused cocktails. Basically, a twist on traditional drinks. The appetizers (chicken skewers, vegetable fried egg rolls, and other bits) were so good, I forgot to take pics. My friends each had a red snapper curry and sticky rice on the side, which was such a generous portion, they both took some home for later. My rice noodles and seafood soup was good, but a little flat. Once I added chile paste, it came alive. I give grace on seasoning, because restaurants have to appeal to a wide range of palates. The ambiance was great for friends even though most tables were couples out for the evening. The vibe is perfect for date night, but not uptight. Our server was the best (see pic); yet, he was professional.

I wasn't in the mood for Asian food but the Mediterranean place we planned on patronizing had changed their menu and it was more italian then Med. This restaurant was the only place in the immediate area that did not have any customers so I was not expecting much. Ordered a couple glasses of wine, along with the veggie rolls with mango sauce as an app, followed by walnut prawns and BBQ pork fried rice. Everything was absolutely delicious! They also have a lil bit of something for everyone on the menu, including sushi! 1 of the owner's appeared to be our server and she was very friendly and courteous. This was one of those times where one is pleasantly surprised...

Great neighborhood Thai place. Underrated for sure. The bar may makes some of the better cocktails on QA. Great place for a quiet one. Friendly, funny staff.

A cold, rainy day led to warming up with a meal from Orrapin. We were welcomed and seated promptly. The menu had many selections, but I was happy to see the combination options on the back. I chose Combo A: curry, pad thai, and rice, a little sampling of a few of my favourites. I like my Thai food to pack a little heat and my meal had just the right amount of heat.

Omg; one of the best Thai places I have EVER eaten at! We were quickly greeted and sat at a table. The staff is very friendly and the food came out quickly. I ordered the pad see eww with all meats and it was better than I anticipated. I would definitely be back here when I come back to Seattle! Stop in for a bite to eat!

Excellent flavors & spice level, but spices didn't distribute evenly onto all the noodles so some pieces were completely bland. I was a little baffled when I opened up my to-go order upon delivery. Portion size is incredibly small. The smallest I've ever seen anywhere! It literally filled the container halfway. It looked like a box of left over food. Our order of pad thai only had 3 pieces of chicken in the whole dish.

I was referrred to Orrapin by another Yelper and I really wanted to like it. The Hubs and I went on a weekend around 1pm. It wasn't crowded and the service was friendly and prompt. But sadly, the service could not make up for the bland food. We always "test" a new Thai place by ordering the Phad See Ew, Phad Thai, and Swimming Rama or Angel (with peanut sauce and spinach). Orrapin failed in all three. Phad See Ew was overly sweet with a strange aftertaste. Phad Thai was not made with tamarind sauce but a tomato based sauce that tasted not quite right. Lastly, we've never had a Swimming Rama/Angel dish (it's called different things at different restaurants) with a peanut sauce as thin as this. It was so thin it was like watery dressing. Giving Orrapin two stars only because of the great service. Skip the food. I recommend Mantra at the bottom of Queen Anne or Pop Pop Thai on Aurora.

There's Thai food on QA! I've enjoyed small bites at happy hour here before but this was my first full blown dinner. I tried the mama noodles and I wasn't disappointed. They are worth the hype. But they also have all the classics you would want from a Thai place too. I asked for 3 stars and it wasn't very spicy.

I just ordered cashew chicken, rice, peanut sauce and a coke. when I got the bill for $31.00 I was surprised but I figured maybe it's amazing. I opened the bag and there was one to go box, surely they must have forgotten something. I opened the box and it contained a bed of rice 1/4 of an order of cashew chicken a green salad and a 1 0z container of pure liquid which was supposed to be peanut sauce. I'm very disappointed and won't recommend this place to anyone. sincerely, robbed in seattle.

This is a must go to restaurant when you are visiting Queen Anne district in Seattle! Love the owner who is always graceful and friendly, she makes us feel like visiting a friend every time we are there. Food to me is one of the best Thai in town, all the curries are creamy and full of flavour, their stir fry dishes are done to perfection! This time we tried their Grilled Pork Salad and I must say I wish I can have the recipe so I can have it all the time at home! Come to this warm family owned restaurant and experience yourself!

Consistently delicious Thai. I'm vegetarian, my partner is not - we both find things to love here. I'd particularly recommend the Eggplant Lover entree, if you're a fan of that veg. The staff are very kind, and it's really nice that they remember their customers from week to week. Finally, the dining area is beautiful. It's just a good place for a meal with people you care about.

Make sure you get a copy of your receipt because I was overcharged. 60 bucks for 2 items, I don't think so.

I came here on a lunch break with my coworkers, and didnt get greeted or water for about 10 minutes. Then i had to wave their server down to come take our orders‍ he told us it should take about 5-10 to make our food to go an we are currently going on 20 minutes and counting! I pray the food is worth the wait

We ordered dinner from here last night and unfortunately it was just awful! The food had literally no flavor, like zero. It was completely bland and tasteless! And we ordered 5 entrees. We got soup, pad Thai, and 3 stir fry's and we had to add salt and pepper to each entree. It was incredibly underwhelming and disappointing. Honestly the best part was the brown rice we had as a side would not recommend and will sadly would never go back!

This was once a good local standby for takeout Thai food ( as well as a reliable option for eat in). However as prices have increased, ingredient quantity and quality has decreased - some items have much reduced portion sizes and some house specialities such as duck curry have much smaller meat portions and fewer other ingredients

This is a quaint neighborhood spot in Queen Anne with small bites and dinner menu options. The patio is a bit small on the bar side but thankfully there was plenty of indoor seating. I would definitely try this place again!

We live in Queen Anne and have been enjoying lunches and dinner here for over 10 years. The food and service are excellent. Be patient with them, Covid hurt their staff. Please support them if you can.

Stopped here for a quick bit on a Saturday afternoon. It wasn't busy so service was prompt and courteous. Our dishes were well priced, delicious and the portions were plentiful. I would return without hesitation.

I've never given a 1 rating, however, this applies solely to the customer service provided. I'm visiting Seattle from Miami and was with a group of people wanting to eat Thai food. We yelped the location and was told at 2:30 to return at 3pm when the restaurant reopened. We kept busy for 45 min and returned at 3:15pm only to be told that we couldn't sit because they don't open until 4:30pm. I mentioned we were told they open at 3pm and confirmed the info with a previous employee, door and yelp hours listed - they said no and walked away. We ended up going to a pub down the street. I inquired to the server her opinion, if any, about the Thai restaurant, she mentioned she heard they have great food. Such a shame their customer service does not equal the rating of their food. We won't be going back.

Nothing like some great take home Thai food, and this place always does it great! This has been a favorite of ours for years. We always order the Chicken Pad Thai, Cashew Chicken, and an order of brown rice. Fresh, crisp vegetables, and delicious sauces. Super nice people and a very safe C-19 pickup strategy.

Just left with take out..... food & portion better when you dine in. Yum gai take tragic... never again. Dried out chicken, two Le tomatoes, looked previously frozen, seriously not fresh. 9.95.... never again. Literally threw it out.

We had a wonderful dinner here tonight - the food was delicious and the service was impeccable. My nephew said, "I don't usually like Thai foot but I LOVED this." We had spring rolls, chicken satay, pad see ew (this was the loved nephew dish), red curry and curry fried rice. Everything was delicious and service was fast and attentive. The server even ran a block to catch us when we forgot our leftovers. Totally recommend.

I ordered 3 dishes for delivery via Uber Eats. The delivery took over an hour (after estimating half an hour upfront). OK so maybe that's Uber's fault and not the fault of the restaurant, who knows. But upon receiving the food we were incredibly disappointed to discover how small the portions were. We ordered 3 main dishes for dinner for 2 people thinking we'd have leftovers for lunch the next day. However we completely finished everything and were still hungry. If the food had been delicious I may have been able to overlook the small portion size. This was some of the weakest Thai food I've had in Seattle.

Usually good quality Thai food. I have noticed lately the 2.50$ take out fee and 3$ per portion of rice. Also the minimum 18% tip option even for take out on the bill payer is annoying. Service lately is not great.

I was greeted by very warm smiles. I was seated in a beautiful spot by some talkative folks and was easily moved without question. My food arrived hot & delicious. Mmmmwwahhh so glad I decided on lunch here. Service remained lovely throughout. The tea, soup and entree were al yummy. I'll be back!

We go there often, typically order the salmon curry, beef salad and jungle pork. The salmon curry is the best Thai curry I have ever had, over and over again. Absolutely love it. Jilan

LOVE LOVE LOVE ORRAPIN! I've been going to this place for over 10 years, and they have never disappointed me. The food is fantastic and is generally served very quickly (unless they're packed, which is then understandable). The staff is friendly, too. The additional seating for warm weather is a nice option during the summer, but there is more than plenty of seating inside. Per the menu, my favs are the Panang Curry, the chicken satay, and either the Cashew Fried Rice or Ginger Fried Rice (my hubbs loved the latter). One thing I like to do, especially if I'm fighting a cold, is get some Panang Curry for takeout. I'll have them add extra veggies, cuz between the veggies and those spices, it'll cure what ails you! (That sauce is so delectable - I call it "nectar of the Gods"!) ;) Give Orrapin a try - you won't be disappointed!

This was my favorite Thai restaurant and then tonight happened... we got take out and my son went in to pay cash for our food... we got two items and then charged us $29.... How is that possible? Did they take advantage of the fact that I sent my 11 year old in to pick it up. I'm very disappointed. I still have 4 stars for the food, but wow the service has got to be less sketchy.

I've been a customer of Orrapin for over 10 years but recently their service has been lacking. My family typically orders thai food from here every Sunday but during covid I understand they have changed their hours which is perfectly fine. However they advertise on their website that they are open Tuesday-Sunday 10-9 (updated on their website July 20th) and every time I have called or gone to the restaurant during business hours they're closed. I'm not sure what's happening but I wish they would update their customers on their hours as the inconsistency is turning me off to eating here.

This is my go to Thai place. I have been eating here for years and have always enjoyed consistently wonderful food and service! My go to order is Kee Mao Chicken with Brown Rice, but I have often tried other items, and have always been pleased, you can't go wrong with any of the curry dishes! I usually go at lunch, and they have a few great combo options on the lunch menu, and sometimes I go for dinner, which is fun, because items are served more family style at that time, so if you go with a group it is great for sharing and trying several items. Both at lunch and dinner portions are generous! I adore the owner, Orrapin, she is so kind and funny. It is obvious that Orrapin and her daughter take so much pride in offering a wonderful experience. With so much turnover on top of Queen Anne, I love that this place is a staple!

I really love coming here! They are very kind and the food is always great. I love the decor and ambiance I recommend the Pad Thai and crunchy spring rolls.

Once I got the food, it was good food. Allow me to explain. Ambiance: We walked into a very crowded restaurant on Saturday night. Literally, the front room was jam packed and people seemed to walk in about every five minutes to pick up takeout. Service: This was really the only issue with the meal. As a vegetarian, I always have to do a double check to make sure certain meals are vegetarian. It was a chilly Seattle day and I was looking forward to some warm, comforting soup (I was already wearing two shirts and three jackets...real life). So, I asked our server if the Tom Yum Het was vegetarian (sour and spicy mushroom soup). Apparently, he didn't understand what I was saying because about twenty minutes later they come out with a plate of vegetables...ummmm okay. We did have to re-order the soup and the woman wasn't especially apologetic. Minus a star. Food: The soup did end up very delicious with a plentiful amount of mushrooms and the veggies we did get were also tasty. The sauce was a bit plain on the veggies, but there was a great variety. Menu: The menu did also have lots of vegetarian options and it was an expansive menu. It literally went on for pages and pages (not cheesecake factory impressive, but pretty darn good). Anyway, beside the service slip, it was a pretty good meal. It did also have it's intended effect as I shed three layers in the restaurant. My companions didn't even have layers to shed, LOL, but they just turned tomato red because they ordered it at the spiciest level.

I really can't add much more to what people have already said about this place. I've been frequenting this establishment for years and it has been consistent throughout. The service is awesome and the restaurant very warm and inviting. I also order out a lot from here. Just an all-around great place! They make some killer bee ginger fried rice!

AAAHH MELTING THOUGHTS! I would never think to come to upper queen anne in search for good thai food, especially a restaurant thats on a side street from the main. we pulled up to the restaurant and thought it was in a cute spot, there are seatings outside but way too cold and all tables were available, we went inside and it was cute. clean! But I will have to knock one star off because the table they sat us in was too small and hardly held our dishes up. i breezed thru the menu thinking of what to eat but always play it safe and go with chicken. we ordered two chicken dishes: Gal Prud Prik and Ginger Chicken. Bother were really delicious. I suggest if you are ordering anything curry or a dish with alot of flavor such as ginger chicken to eat it with plain white rice rather then fried rice. Gal Prud Prik $10 - was okay. I have a few bites but didnt acquire any interest for me to continue eating. I actually like spicy but not too much spice and curry sometimes makes me rush to the restroom unexpectedly so i have kept my cool pace. Ginger Chicken $10 - OMG GOOD!!! The dish wasn't oily and the flavors were just rightly cooked. no over powering flavors ontop of each other. just right with the asking of 1 star hotness. food - good ambiance - cute, comfortable, clean price - a pinch above average but worth the pay-out revisiting - OH YES Although I've ate here once, it's left with a lasting impression and I like it more then Jai Tai. Oh and the one flop which has also played a factor in my rating... NO DESSERT MENU?? boo that sucks.

Not happy here. And I will tell you why. 1. I ordered spring rolls and phad see ew with beef. I was told that they ran out so instead ordered wing. FIVE MINUTES LATER A GROUP SITS DOWN BEHIND MY TABLE AND ORDERS SPRING ROLLS. THEY WERE ALSO TOLD THAT THEY RAN OUT BUT THE KITCHEN DECIDED TO MAKE THEM AN ORDER FRESH. WTF YO! 2. So while I'm sitting here semi hangry, watching this table behind me chimp on fresh spring rolls that I was denied, MORE OF THEIR ORDERED FOOD COMES OUT. uh.. did I not order before then? Did I not sit down before them? REALLY? I know that it's not the end of the world. But when ur hungry and annoyed that you couldn't get the appetizer you wanted.... it's everything. 3. I ordered 5 stars spicy on the noodles. This was not 5 stars spicy. Not even close. Also had some weird tangy taste to it. Kinda like ketchup. And I know ketchup doesn't belong in phad see ew. I wanted the garlic and the sweet soy sauce amazing goodness. Didn't get it. And also. There were only 3 pieces of broccoli. Didn't know broccoli was such a high expense commodity. Disappointed with the food. DEFINITELY disappointed with the service. Not coming back.

I think "A-OK" sums this place up pretty well. Cute, clean interior. Friendly, albeit inattentive service. Predictable menu. Bland flavors. For weekday lunch with a coworker, I ordered Combo B ($12.95) which included a fried spring roll, tofu pad thai, spinach deluxe and rice. While aesthetically pleasing, everything on the plate really lacked in flavor, even with my request for level four spice. In a town with exceptional Thai food options, I probably won't return.

Orrapin Thai is the best Thai food I have ever had. Queen Anne is lucky to have this gem. Love this place!!!!!

Tasty thai food lunch combinations here, all about $10 a person and far too much food in a relaxed, gold and amber colored setting at the top of Queen Anne hill. We enjoy the atmosphere here, as someone involved in this business clearly has an eye for design. There is a beautiful wooden Thai spirit house in one window, and as you enter a bell jingles lightly and to your left, a Thai figure with palm extended greets you. The food is solid and with two trips to Thailand under our belts, we qualify as Thai food junkies (who will chose a travel destination based on food!) Although Orrapin is not the best Thai we've had, its one of the better places we've found in Seattle. Orrapin is consistently tasty, family friendly and a great value, particularly for lunch. Our $10 lunch comes with vegetable soup (a little bland, wish it were tom kha gai) two chicken satay sticks with peanut sauce over fresh cucumber, veggie pad thai with nice subtle heat, red veggie curry and rice. The lunch is fresh, tasty and very generous. I would file this one under solid "get away" lunch options close (assuming you have a car) relatively close to downtown and South Lake Union. (Their lunch deal is also offered on the weekends.)

I've only been here during lunch hours, so I'm not sure what the dinner menu looks like. I would say their lunch pretty good, and fairly priced considering the location. I do like the portions they give you in the combos. So far I've tried (not all available in a combo) the phad thai, panang curry, beef broccoli, tom yum soup, pad see ew, and the duck soup. The duck soup is the only item on the menu that I get excited about. If you like duck, this this soup will hit the spot! Before the first bite, I can taste the flavor from its smell alone. Go ahead, take a whiff... You'll see what I mean. I don't know what the quack is in that broth, but it is rich in flavor. Wash it down with some Thai tea, and prepare for a food coma.

Orrapin Thai is this cute, quaint Thai place in Queen Ann. What I really loved about it was the family business dynamic. It's run by a mother and daughter team. I believe that it was the daughter who was our server and she was very nice. The restaurant is nice and clean. Now for the food. As far as Thai goes, I've had better. The food wasn't bad, just not too exciting. I had a combo plate with the yellow curry. My only complaint is that I wish there was more curry and meat. All you get is this little bowl that looks more like a side portion. I also found the curry to be quite watery for my liking. I prefer it to be a little thicker so the sauce coats the meat and potatoes. But those are small things. Not big enough to declare it a "never coming again" spot. I am almost never up in those parts, but if I return to Queen Ann I would be ok to go there again.

Best Thai restaurant ever, hands down. Beautiful ambiance, great service, and the cleanest yet tastiest Thai cuisine you can imagine. We always make a point of eating here whenever we return to visit Seattle.

Two stars for good ambience and friendly service. Sadly, the food is subpar. I ordered beef pad kee mao. It was flavorless and insanely greasy! My husband ordered their yellow chicken curry. He requested to add beef to for the extra $2. Order arrived and it was a serving bowl of watered down curry with scraps of beef and no chicken.

Came in for lunch on Labor Day. Fairly easy menu with your usual Thai offerings and some unique. It was hot as hades in there and there was a giant *GIANT* fan blowing but I sat outside which was lovely. Server was prompt and lovely. I ordered the Papa Noodle with beef. This dish was so incredibly delicious and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to describe it. It was a light red from the Sriracha so I was scared that was all I was going to taste but it was very complex! There was the spiciness but also an almost sweetness. The noodles were chewy and light and perfectly cooked. The beef was tender and the spinach was great. The only oddity was the green lettuce in the dish which I didn't care for. Even on a super hot day the dish was satisfyingly spicy and really delicious. Will for sure be back.

I've been to Orrapin countless times and it's always good. food is solidly delicious, portions are generous, and meals are served very quickly. service is fabulous! everyone is sweet, attentive, accommodating. lunch specials are a bargain and worth it for the cup of soup alone (just a simple vegetable soup but somehow it's uber tasty). I wish they had a full bar and/or more comfy chairs, those are the only reasons for 4 vs. 5 stars. UPDATE - they now have a full bar! and it's fabulous. downstairs from the main restaurant there's now a lounge. great cocktails, yummy thai street food. yay!

Orrapin is a nice place to dine in Queen Anne. The folks here are attentive and the place has a warm ambiance. The food though isn't great, nor is it bad so consider it a fairly decent choice to satisfy a sudden craving for Thai. We ordered spring rolls (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/XxQlDQS7yjLKmeThEDReBw?select=r-SCoL2JnTxfkgwJgYJhUA) to start and they arrived in a hurry. Be careful on your first bite because they are piping hot! Nothing special to report besides that. We ordered chicken panang curry (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/XxQlDQS7yjLKmeThEDReBw?select=9zh05stRLj8-iEtwSjlbgg) and Gang Pia (red snapper in a red curry broth) (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/XxQlDQS7yjLKmeThEDReBw?select=qmdH0gFnvIBY4SWTnTedTA) and while we said medium in terms of spice, they both came packing with quite a bit of heat. I would not want to know what "spicy" is. Which is unfortunate because after a while the curries just started tasting a little one-note. We also had Thai ice tea and Thai ice coffee which thankfully countered the heat. I would go as far as to say that the drinks were the highlight of the meal. Nice and thick but not too sweet, they were yummy drinks. If you're in the area, then Orrapin will do just fine. It wasn't our first choice for the night but it more than sufficed.
