Classic Thai dishes like Pad Thai, pumpkin curry, and Tom Yum
"Open since 1984, the oldest Thai restaurant in Seattle is still adored by Queen Anners and tourists alike for its sunny service, bold flavors, and generous portions — and its sweet parking lot too. Cousins Suppasek (Sean) Ekavithvorakul and Noppachai (Tony) Mahapheeraphorn are the second gen to run the show here, and their devotees, whether longtime or newly initiated, roll up for the drunken noodles, the panang curry, and the What a Feeling: a melange of pork, chicken, and beef stir-fried with half a dozen veggies and served in a fiery wine-based sauce. It’s lovely to take your meal in the dining room inside the 1908 Colonial Revival house, among all the brass statues and fresh flowers, but it’s even lovelier to eat it in the cute little patio when the weather’s nice." - Meg van Huygen
"Established in 1984, this Uptown (lower Queen Anne) spot claims to be Seattle’s oldest Thai restaurant. The drunken noodles are silky and well-balanced, and the Massaman curry is satisfying with big, soft chunks of potato, but the tom yum stands out for its unbridled flavors — sour, and spicy, with generous amounts of lime leaf." - Eater Staff
"The most colorful restaurant in Queen Anne. One of our favorite lunch spots with non-traditional dishes (such as pumpkin curry), classic thai staples, and also the nicest waitstaff around." - MINT

Opened in 1984, this Uptown classic serves tom yum with serious lime-leaf perfume, silky drunken noodles, and curries in a warmly old-school space. Featured by Eater Seattle and affirmed by its own site as Seattle’s oldest Thai.
