"The food at this industrial-chic spot features sour, funky, spicy, flavors from northern Thailand, with its Lao influence. Kor moo yahng (grilled pork collar), som tum (papaya salad with pickled crab and anchovies), excellent shrimp dishes, and rotisserie-cooked game hen dominate the menu." - Eater Staff

You MUST absolutely come here if you are a fan of Thai food (or just good food, service, and atmosphere, for that matter!) I've come here 3 times in the past 4 weeks (that should say enough about this place on its own!), and have LOVED my experience each time I've come. I've ordered over 13 unique dishes from this place, and have enjoyed Every. Single. One. How many places are there where you can say that? We even came with a family friend who had a baby, and guess what? The workers were playing with the baby and making the baby feel welcome, too. That gets a huge thumbs up from me. The atmosphere is lively, everything is clean, and if I haven't convinced you at this point, well, I think you should just try this place out for yourself. Need I say more?

Visited Soi Thai in Kirkland with some coworkers for lunch. The biggest initial hurdle was finding the entrance as there’s not a lot of signage, so I was lucky to bump into a coworker who knew the way. Once inside, the atmosphere was lively and welcoming, making it a nice spot to unwind. Service was attentive and friendly, which made a good impression. The food was solid but not mind-blowing. It was satisfying enough for a casual group lunch. They have a parking garage available, which is a plus, but it’s not obvious that it’s free for retail visitors. I always second guess that in those kinds of setups. Clearer signage about the free parking would help a lot. JY review

Absolutely loved our lunch at Soi! The Thai basil and red curry were bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. You can tell everything was made fresh. The dishes looked just as amazing as they tasted – beautifully plated and vibrant in color. Service was warm, fast and genuinely kind, which made the whole experience even better. Thank you for such a wonderful meal. We’ll definitely be back!

A awesomely authentic Thai food place with a wide choice of food. Well priced for the place and amazingly flavorful. Folks here are sweet and service is impeccable. Ensure you validate your car parking ticket here before you leave. Wide range of starters and a greater choice of proteins. The bar is well stocked and amazingly replete with a wide choice of cocktails well crafted (better on weekends).

Absolutely incredible! Tastes every bit as good as the food I ate in Bangkok. Properly SPICY too! Best Thai food I’ve had on the Eastside or really anywhere in the PNW. Reasonable prices too! I hope this place gets the attention it deserves!

This hidden gem located right next to Google and Seattle coffee gear, has the best Thai food you will taste in the area. We have tried the clay pot before and that was amazing. We did two person and family styled everything. For this visit, I did the spicy curry prawn (appetizer portion), the duck bao buns, fresh rolls, for the mains we did drunken noodles 3 stars spicy, sweet Thai basil with chicken! (kra pao gai Kai daw). The prawns were big and plump but the curry stole the show with the banana chips, I love duck with my whole heart and this place did it justice. Let’s move on to the noodle, so I hope not to be a “a white lotus customer” but the basil chicken did its job and was spicy with lemon and just hit the spot well. I recommend it always, also listen to your server about the spicy levels. Meow our server was playing diner dash with our plates and let me tell you she would have gotten that multiplier because there was not a moment where we didn’t have our drinks, napkins or food served promptly. I always recommend Soi Thai to friend who visit because I know they will always do the food justice. Come support local, and support a great vibe and decor. Will always come back. Also it’s free parking. Bonus!!! Also I tend to post pics of my food but it was SOO good that I had forgotten.

Wonderful atmosphere and excellent staff. The staff let us know that the kitchen was running slow because they were down a few people, but our group did not notice. Many compliments on the spring rolls and crab Rangoon. The mint lemonade is also excellent

I’ve been here three times and unfortunately it’s been hit and miss. The portions for the same dish have been inconsistent and worse than that the flavors haven’t been consistent. I like the flavors as it’s unique amongst most Thai restaurants but it’s hard to return if you don’t know what you’re going to get.

Overall great experience Got the coconut milk soup with seafood. Mussels, scallops, calamari, and shrimp are the seafood (wasn't specified on menu). It was delicious! The broth especially tasted amazing. I thought reasonable amount of seafood for the price. Glass of Pinot was a reasonable price. Validated free parking in a garage. Nice ambiance and the service was great. Was kind about splitting check 4 ways (that was their max # fyi). Would definitely go back.

Paid a visit recently as I was craving Thai. The location is not bad, you park in a parking garage, up the elevator one floor. The restaurant is larger than I expected and overall it's nice. Nothing really stood out but it was cozy. The servers were nice but not above and beyond. The food, Thai iced teas were like every other Thai place. Good. The pad see ew and garlic crispy chicken was good but not amazing. The dish needed more chicken and a touch less sauce. Overall I enjoyed it and will be back.

Came here for my company's holiday party and had SO much fun!!! The service was excellent. Food came in waves which was nice. It was a really chill atmosphere and we had the kind of bubble feel room on the side all to ourselves. The crispy chicken was a fan favorite. Drinks looked really good too! It was great that they also validated parking.

Thai restaurant and bar on level 2 of Kirkland Urban. Pretty spacious inside and even has a loft level and sizable bar. Doing pretty good business for weekend dinner. Food menu has the usual Thai fare like noodles, curries, salads etc. Also has quite a few cocktail selections from the bar. The restaurant validates garage parking for up to 4 hours. I ordered the duck curry, and got it with a bowl of white rice (can also choose brown rice). The curry includes three sizable pieces of crispy duck. I think this is the most amount of duck I've gotten from a Thai restaurant. Most other places only include a leg quarter. Nice crispy skin, and still soft and meaty in the middle. The curry was creamy, savoy and sweet, which some sweet peppers and pieces of pineapple. Good for eating with the rice. I got spice level 2 out 3, which had some heat on the first few bites but then I don't notice it anymore. I was with a big party and the food was served pretty quickly after the orders were in. Overall the meal was delicious and filling. Price was $27 before tax and tip, which is not bad given the amount of duck that was included in the curry. Would definitely return to try some other dishes.

Came for my birthday dinner and to try dishes since I was planning on renting out their private patio for my mom's birthday. Our experience dining in was great, we were seated promptly even without a reservation on a busy night. Service was quick and the server, who seemed like the owner, was so lovely! Of all the dishes we ordered, my favorites were the papaya salad and crab fried rice. The papaya salad, Isarn style, was probably the BEST papaya salad I've ever had! Be warned that it is quite pungent and fishy, but so much umami. The other dishes were okay but not amazing. Cocktails were delicious though, and I love that they really try to incorporate Thai flavors as much as possible. They don't have dessert on a menu but we got 2/3 options, mango sticky rice and pandan custard with Chinese donuts. They were so kind to put a candle in the sticky rice and even sing to happy birthday to me! Obviously they're in a busy plaza so they'll stay busy, and I can foresee myself craving that papaya salad so I can't wait to come back! Although we had a good dine-in experience, unfortunately, Ken, the bartender and person I had been communicating with, just ghosted me so I had to scramble and find a different venue for my mom's birthday :(

I have been here twice now and it is an alright place but not great. Most recently I had the salmon panang curry - the plating was beautiful and the curry was delicious. But the steamed veggies were a let down, it would be much better if they pan fried the veggies instead. Last time I was there I had a stir fry which was pretty good, and I had my first ever mango sticky rice which was great. The service was good and it wasn't too loud in the restaurant on a weekday.

Was excited to come to Soi because it was so easy to make reservations on the website, unlike at Isarn (similar upscale Thai in Kirkland) which I couldn't reach by phone, and when I finally did, they were so strict with seating (full party must be complete in order to be seated). The service was slow even when the restaurant was empty. I had to flag someone down to order. Eventually half our order was wrong, needed to be remade, and was not delivered until 2 hours later since apparently the kitchen was backed up. They kindly comped the orders. Food was hit or miss, would've been 4 but rounding down to 3 because of the painfully painfully slow service. Awesome! - Nice to MEAT you, SOI ($30) - 5 stars: Tender soy grilled wagyu, sticky rice, tangy lime sauce that I wanted to drink. Would come back for this one! - Crispy Rice Salad ($16) - 5 stars: So delicious, would come back for this and to try other salads! It was tangy, crispy, fresh, surprising, delicious. - Garden Roll Tofu ($11) - 4.5 stars: 6 generous pieces. So fresh, delicate, fluffy, and the green sauce that came with it was so delicious. I don't even typically like tofu. Pretty good - would order again: - Fried Pork Belly ($12) - 3.75 stars: Crispy, fatty, and so delicious with the sauce. - Pad See Ew Shrimp - 3.75 stars: Not the best pad see ew, I would order again. It was my favorite between the two noodles. Relative to the other dishes the portion size was on the smaller end. - Mango Spicy Margarita - 3.75 stars ($16): Not the best I've had but tasty, would order again. Would not order again: - Duck Curry $27 - 3 stars: Really dry. - Pineapple fried rice - 3 stars: Not memorable. - Claypot Prawn with Glass Noodles ($19) - 3 stars: I ordered it too spicy possibly, but the noodles were clumped together, I did not like the sauce, and the prawns were large but tasted bleachy to me. - Bring Him Home / Whiskey Sour ($16) - 1 star: Could not drink. Egg white tasted weird. Drink tasted weird.

Helpful hint: it's on the 2nd level of a building with a garage beneath it. They validate parking, so bring your ticket in. Beautifully decorated. Hearty portions.

Great service. Lots of great options on menu. The Thai meatballs were amazing! The phad Thai was good, not great. Too sweet and saucy.

Passed this restaurant over a dozen times on the way to and from work, but finally decided to try it during holiday season! We came at 11:30 on a Wednesday and there was plenty of seating available. The server was very quick and incredibly helpful- I especially liked the way he described the level of spiciness ("hot but not quite hot enough to make your nose run", which is a very specific and useful metric of spice). I ordered a seasonal dish and it tasted excellent and mild like I asked for! It also had a lot of seafood. I'd be back for their other dishes too- the portions are pretty generous and the food is great. (Small sad for not having a green curry, but I don't know enough about Thai food to know why that might be.) (They can do tap to pay, in case that matters. And they were happy to split our three person table into three checks.)

Was hanging with a friend Saturday night on the eastside and we decided to get takeout, as she had eaten here recently and thought it yummy. (Tried ordering through Yelp and got a message that they weren't taking orders currently. I was able to order takeout from their website though! #persistencepays) We ordered the Tom Yum Fried Rice, Crispy Rice Salad (Yum Nem Kaw Tord), Larb Tod meatball appetizer, and pad thai with chicken. I wanted Garden Rolls with Shrimp (visible through Yelp but not on their website ordering app???). The number of options on the website for modifying ingredients was outstanding, and we ordered both the Fried Rice and Pad Thai as 'Not Spicy,' as anyone who knows me knows I am sensitive to heat (mild pico de gallo is my limit ). First, I'd give the Crispy Rice 10 stars if I could! It's not named the same, but it's clearly some variation of my former favorite addicted-to-it dish (called Nhem Mou, I believe) from a Laotian-Asian Fusion restaurant in Seattle's Roosevelt neighborhood that broke my heart when it closed a few years ago. Second, everything we ordered was yummy. Tasty without needing heat. (See below.) Portions were sizab. (Maybe bigger lettuce leaves for the meatballs, if wrapping is the intention.) Third, pickup service was friendly and right on time. Why not 5 stars? There was a little heat in the Fried Rice, which is frustrating since I had hoped to eat that for several meals. I could eat it BUT it isn't enjoyable beyond a small portion. Maybe they made a mistake but I'd encourage them to alter their ingredients to make it truly 'Not Spicy.' I would put it at least at 'mild.' Also, heads-up for others: the lime sauce for the meatballs lives up to the 'spicy' description. It tastes super delightful with it's lime-iness, but even just a little had our lips and tongues burning and noses running both -- and her tolerance is definitely higher. I'm already planning when I can go back. It's a good thing Soi is a toll and lake away, or I'd be eating Crispy Rice every week!

Yes yes yes!!! This place was so good. Our server was amazing and I really loved it here. If it were closer I'd probably come here every day, and then I'd probably be 600 pounds lol! The server recommended the meatballs, and they were a million times even better than what she said, the sauce was also just a little spicy, but perfect with the meatballs. The cashew nut had the perfect balance of veggies and chicken. I also put a little of that sauce from the meatballs on it. I allllwayyyys have to get a to-go box for my leftovers, but no leftovers here. That's how good it was. Please come try this place out if you're looking for a good Thai place in the area.

Pretty good! We tried a little bit of everything. Pham Broccoli, was great, flavorful, the broccoli was cooked perfectly. The corn fritters and spicy curry prawns were also great. Drinks did not disappoint and atmosphere was pleasant. I would come back.

Modern Thai cuisine. Learned from Chinese Dim Sum, the Roasted Duck Buns is a must-try appetizer. The Crying Tiger on menu was out of order. Chose Crispy Salmon Salad instead.

A great Thai spot in Kirkland Urban. Very good traditional Thai food, especially the soups, curries and noodles. Their Happy Hour is solid and well priced with a good variety of choices. And the portion sizes are good, not skimpy. And they make a good cocktail and pour a nice cold beer.

I had been the the Seattle location many many years, which I just recently found out that it's closed down. I had their Tom Yum Fried Rice back then, and have been wanting to come here to try it again. I didn't plan on going out to dinner for Valentine's Day, and didn't really want to, but he wanted to take me out to an extra fancy restaurant. But I just wanted Thai food. I was able to make a reservation last minute, and we came at 6pm, and it wasn't too busy, until later in the evening, it got pretty full. The place was very cute, decorated for Valentine's Day. Staff was very friendly. We wanted to start out with their chicken wings appetizer, but they were actually out. So, we started off with the Crab Rangoon. For cocktails, I got the Herradura Tamarito, which I thought was absolutely delicious, and my bf got the You Will Never Walk Alone (Thai Tea Whiskey). For food, we got the Crispy Garlic Chicken, Crispy Salted Garlic Pork Belly, Tom Yum Fried Rice, and the Nice to MEAT you, SOI (wagyu steak). I had to do a little happy dance in my seat because everything looked so good, and everything tasted just as good as it looked. The Crispy Salted Garlic had your choice of meat and I choose pork belly. It didn't come with tons of garlic like it showed on the online menu picture, but still tasty. It took a bit of extra time for the Tom Yum Fried Rice to come out, and was the last item, while we had already been eating the rest of the food. I thought it was a bit salty, and squeezed some lime on it. I ordered it with seafood, and it came with nice big pieces of seafood. The Nice to MEAT you, SOI might have been our favorite. The wagyu steak was cooked very nicely. The sauce was tasty, and I enjoyed it with the sticky rice it came with. I liked that their entrées come with rice, since a lot of places don't do that anymore. Their spiciness scale is 1 to 3, and I ordered a couple of items at 3 stars, but we didn't find them spicy at all, and had to ask for the spice rack. I was happy to have leftovers, and would love to eat here again.

I've tried plenty of thai restaurants and this is one of the top ones on my list I like and would come back. The pad thai wasn't dry and was delicious. The pad se ew and pork belly was really tasty too! Service was good and fast. The inside was really cute and spacious. Came on a weekend and there was plenty of seating! They do validate parking so bring your ticket with you. I recommend coming here if you want to try a new thai place!

Just providing some constructive feedback to the current Soi team! We've been enjoying so many great dishes from Soi, the noodles and fried rice style of anything is delicious. And there's a shrimp appetizer that's awesome! Compliments to the rich flavor that Soi typically has woven in all dishes! However the normal 5 stars I would rate has be gone done recently! We visited this past Saturday - This was one of the first times that we dropped in for just appetizers and drinks, since we like the atmosphere so much this was an easy choice of where we should go. Unfortunately, though I wanted to share that the customer service was a little subpar, and the appetizer that we tried, was very unimpressive. This was the duck bao. Inside of each sandwich was a piece of duct that was barely existent, the cilantro inside of it was still attached to the stem, and the flavor was really bland. I am still angry that I paid 13-14 dollars for two bites of mediocre duck. Compliments to the bartender, the drinks were still good. But I wanted to at least share that for the first time here, see food, and experience was pretty lame.

I figure it's time to write an update to my review since the pandemic $55 family meal is so, so, so in the past tense now. (Oh, inflation - such a cruel mistress.) I've returned several times since it reopened. Overall, I still find the food to be reliable, just not at an amazing 5-star-ness anymore when also considering the price. The Food: Kaplau Gai Kai Dao - 4 Stars Menu: A popular comfort rice dish amongst Thai people that has minced chicken breast stir-fried with fresh basil and green bean, bell pepper and fresh Thai chili served over jasmine rice and topped with fried egg. Definitely a good comfort dish. Savory and flavorful. The fried egg at the top is an excellent cherry on the sundae kind of way. Koong Ob Woon Sen - 4 Stars Menu: Clay pot prawns with glass noodle, ginger, fresh cracked- peppercorn, pork belly, and light soy sauce with touch of sesame oil. This was perfectly savory, a simple and delicious meal that is very well prepared. I requested no pork belly. I think I'll ask if I can replace the pork with veggies if I order this again. It was a little plain in this version. Phad Kana Moo krob, with added egg - 3.5 Stars Menu: Stir-fried crispy pork belly with garlic, Thai fresh chili, oyster sauce, soy sauce, touch of fish sauce and Chinees broccoli served over jasmine rice. Pork belly is tricky because it's fatty. The charm really comes from the crispy skin. When it's then stirred fried with a sauce, then that charm is diminished - no more crispy skin.

Truly excellent, authentic Thai experience. Visited last night with a group of 6. Service was friendly and efficient. We loved everything we tried including Larb Tod, pad Thai, drunken noodle, fresh rolls, basil stir fry (pad ka prao) and Tom Yum soup. Their medium spice has a very nice kick. Also, Pricing was quite reasonable for the area.

Had a chance to visit this place and fine with my team. Cozy and friendly staff. Willing to answer questions about the food. Love the authentic decor and the funny rubber chickens on the wall. The duck curry was spot on.

Came with friends for happy hour and kept wanting more so just stayed for dinner. ;) Located in a neat mixed-use plaza with an underground parking garage, this restaurant features a modern and spacious interior. Pro tip: be sure to have your parking ticket validated! We ordered 5 HH small plates (doubled up on the Peek Gai Tod Krateam so each person could have their own jumbo chicken wing deep fried then stir-fried with garlic, chili paste and fish sauce), and 3 dinner plates, which was enough to leave our party of 4 stuffed by evening's end. Next time we must remember to save room for dessert... From classics like Phad See Ew (wide rice noodles, broccoli, carrot, and egg stir-fried in black sweet soy sauce) and Gang Dang (Thai red curry paste in coconut milk, bamboo shoots, bell peppers and sweet basil) to lesser known specialities such as Moo Dat Daew (Thai pork jerky marinated in soy sauce, garlic, and palm sugar, deep fried and served with house sriracha) and Phad Ka Pao Moo Krob (stir-fried crispy pork belly with fresh Thai chili, green bean and holy basil), there honestly wasn't a bad dish in the bunch, and I'd happily order any and all again. So why 4 stars and not 5? Service was a little lacking - our server simply left 2 large bottles of water on the table for us to fill and refill our glasses on our own, and we had to flag her down anytime we needed anything. Also, it would be helpful to add food descriptions and/or photos to the happy hour menu - it took us a while to match names of dishes to the dinner menu so we could know what we were ordering!

Love the ambience of the place and the service !! It's a great place to hang out with friends or even plan a date night. This place really gets busy over the weekend. They have a vegan menu with decent options and I am impressed by the attempt to have a separate vegetarian and vegan friendly menu Both the cocktails and mocktails we ordered didn't disappoint us! Let's talk about the food I had the red curry noodles and it's one of the best I had in a while. The noodles to curry ratio is just right for my liking. The cashew stir fry is delicious as well. Our friends seemed to have enjoyed their meat and sea food dishes they have ordered. Overall I'd definitely recommend this place

4.7.2023 Dined in for dinner with my friends and we had good time! We were so hungry, so we ordered 4 appetizers. My favorite was Thai-Koyaki and it was flavorful with lemon glass. Chicken wing was also delicious with sweet sauce. I asked server what's his favorite dish for entree, and he told me everything is good, but restaurant is not authentic (?) he said nothing is better than eating in Thai (of course.) he said Chu-Chi salmon is pretty good, but I decided to order panang curry with chicken. For appetizers, we ordered.. - Thai-ko-ya-ki (grounded pork meat ball) -Crab Rangoon -papaya salad -happy elephant wings Ambiance was good and toilet was clean. I would come back to try different entree next time!

The food was good. Except the spices heat. It was a three star and was like a five star heat. I like it hot, but this was super hot. The service was good. The ambiance is a Thai restaurant with a bar.

Soi Kirkland is a very modern Thai Restaurant with a bar. The interior design is really nice and the servers here are friendly. This place is on the second floor above the QFC and across the Google building. The menu has your typical Thai food like your Pad Thai and Pad See Ew, but they also have other traditional Thai dishes as well. I ordered something different than my Pad Thai or Pad See Ew and I didn't regret it. I ordered Kaplau Kai Gai, from the name you probably never heard of it but according to the menu it's Thai comfort food. The food itself was really good, full of flavor, with a good mix of vegetables, minced chicken, rice, and a fried egg. The mixed vegetables has green beans, peppers, onions. My only gripe with the mixed vegetables is that they also threw in the ends of the string beans which most people usually never eat. I wish there was more rice because the dish itself is full of flavor but it can get pretty salty. The portion itself isn't that big, you might need to order like an appetizer as well. Service here is just okay, I don't think I had someone check on me at all my whole time here. They leave you three bottles of water on your table so the staff never comes by and re-fills your water. The staff only came twice, once to place my order and second to get the check. For parking, there's a structure underneath. The restaurant would validate your parking for you. I'm short, good food, basically no service since the staff basically leaves you everything on your table, small portion size, but it's pretty inside.

Thai food is not about spice. It is about balance. The balance between the 5 flavors and the balance between the aromatics. The best example of this is the soup Potak Talay - a seafood soup that is a blend of sour, spicy, and a whole bunch of aromatics including basil, lemon grass, holy basil, Thai basil, mint, and various Thai herbs that I dont have the names of. The ubiquitous soup you get in most Thai restaurants is Tom Yum Talay. This is the equivalent of their hot and sour soup. I was happily surprised to find Potak Talay, and the version here was a perfect balance of spice, sour, umami, salt, and aromatics. It came with generous amounts of scallop, squid, mussels and prawns. All perfectly cooked. The second dish I missed not being able to visit Bangkok 4 times a year was Goong Ob Woon Sen - prawns cooked in a Claypot with glass noodles. The flavors on this was bright and spirited. Cooked with generous slices of roast pork and fresh, crunchy shrimp, the flavors came together very well despite the dish not being cooked in the clay pot it came in. I guess that most customers would not be willing to wait the 30 minutes it would take to properly prepare this dish. The Phad Thai was good, not as outstanding as the first 3 dishes. Service was friendly, and as some other reviews had mentioned, funny and the server told interesting stories. Can't give 4.75 stars, so I'll just round up to 5.

This restaurant is in the new large Urban Plaza complex in Kirkland. There is plenty of underground parking, which is really nice. They also validate if you dine or shop at one of the businesses. We put in a reservation for 10 people and were easily accommodated. We opted to eat family style, so ordered a variety of dishes. Most were classic dishes such as crispy chicken, yellow curry, pad Thai and pineapple fried rice. We also ordered a new item to us called rad nah noodles, basically like a wet chow fun type dish. All the food came from the kitchen quickly. It was all ok, on the sweeter side. It didn't have the robust flavor profile I was looking for. The service was wonderful. Drinks options and suggestions were good. I think I'd opt for another place for Thai food. But the location is great for a big group

Cathee C.

Probably some of the best Thai food I've ever had. The flavors were incredibly rich and every dish tasted full of spices. We ordered: crispy cashew chicken, gang dang (red curry with peppers and bamboo shoots), and guoy teaw tum yum (hot and sour rice noodle soup). Again, flavors were outstanding. Minus one star though as the entrees including the curry didn't come with rice. For $16 each, rice should definitely be included and shouldn't cost an additional $3 per bowl. The rice noodles in the tum yum were also overcooked so they were too soft for my liking. The restaurant was beautiful. Very modern with dim lighting and lots of natural lighting, a vibe. Service was very friendly. They also validate parking if you park underground. Again, food was delicious just lacking some value and the noodles could be more Al dente. Note: spice level is out of 5. Ordered 4/5 for most dishes. Spices tasted very mild.

The food is amazing and the service is so wonderful. A go-to Thai spot! If you like the flavor of Pad See Eiw you must try the rad nah dish, it's delicious!

Ok is it weird that I reeeeaaaally wanna give this place 5 stars and I will absolutely tell you why. The interior is fantastic the service is ON POINT. We asked to sit near the fire, which was still closed at the time and they absolutely let u. SO SWEET. Let's get to the food! Khao soi: I love this dish, butcher pronouncing it every time, so this was a little let down only because it wasn't seasoned that well (shocking I know) though the leftovers tasted great when I added salt Khao pad Tom Yum : oh YESSSS will order this over and over again so delicious AND you can ask for brown rice instead of jasmin... aren't these guys great!! Khao pod Tod : these sweet corn fritters were a little chewy, which I'm sure some would love but I'd pass on this and go for the many other yummy things!! Mmmm can't wait to go back!!

This is the place to go for your event! We had a graduation dinner here and the whole experience was amazing! From the point of planning, ordering and decorating, Ken and the staff made sure that you had everything ready and taken care for. Food was delicious and prepared in family style which made it easy to share. They even had the table set up with cute flower centerpieces and wall decor to follow with our graduation theme. They went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed and their attention to detail was excellent! We're so glad that we chose this place to have our dinner and thank you again for making this occasion more special!

Really good food and reasonable prices. I have tried their pad kee mao and crispy garlic and both a great dinner entrees. I would rate 4.5 stars for the food overall.

This place has a nice, snazzy atmosphere. The cocktails are a little pricey but I was delighted by the guava vodka drink. Nice presentation and yummy taste. The food was also really yummy. Again, a little pricey, and the portion sizes are more "standard" than gigantic like some places.

Have been here as it was in my to go list since long time . It's at the premium location of Kirkland so it is expensive compare to other Thai restaurant . The ambience is nice and elite one. It's a good place to come with Freind's and family We ordered bunch of things like pad ke moo , panang curry , fresh rolls , corn fritters , garlic chicken , Crab Rangoon , Keiw pu, Moo dat daew . Vegetarian food was very bland and they didn't asked for spice level so it's was not great Thai food. My friends said non veg food was good and Moo dat daew was a must to have. Overall I was disappointed from the vegetarian food but I will give them other chance. Don't forget they do validate your parking ticket .

A Thai place great for large groups, with good food(including Vegan) and ambience! Soi is located in the Kirkland urban plaza. You can reserve ahead or walk-in We were a group of 8 people and we reserved ahead on a Saturday evening! The service was prompt and the food delicious! I wish they had a kid's menu but I guess it's typical of Thai restaurants to not have one. Their vegan Tom Yum is super delicious and so are the other entreès. The red curry with Tofu was super yumm. Really loved how the place did not look cramped even when packed with so many large groups.Too bad I haven't clicked any pictures of the food! Did not try their drinks but would love to come back for the same!

The manager responded quickly and appropriately. The wait staff should not have done what she did. Retraining has been done.

We went to Soi to celebrate a birthday. They did a great job setting up for the large party. The ambience was good and the food was flavorful. But I wasn't impressed with the service. Our main server seemed irritated we were there (as a former server myself I know groups are hard and stressful but the pay off in tips should keep you motivated!). Luckily there was another server (maybe a runner or a host) who was much friendlier. The garlic pork belly was memorable, but I don't think overall it's the best Thai in town. I really loved the ambience though so I'd go back... but feeling like it was just ok for now.

Great location, went twice for lunch. First visit: Tom yum soup was excessively sweet. Not just a little sweet, but way over the top sweet and not resembling any other tom yum or Thai food I have had. I commented to staff, their response was "next time you can ask for less sweet" and did nothing else. I'm not sure how that suggestion would work, ask for a sample of the tom yum soup in advance of ordering it? Second visit (a few months later): Green beans with beef were soaked in chili oil. Not just a little oil, but soaked in a puddle of chili oil that pooled on the plate and spilled over to the rice, soaking it as well. It was borderline gross so I won't attach the picture. I won't be back for a third try.

The ambiance and staff here is amazing. I came in during lunch time on a Monday and it was not busy at all... I guess all the google folks were in their meetings or WFH The pad thai here is AMAZING! The red curry is also great but make sure to tell them to go light on the salt. My favorite Thai dish is always the pad see ew and I'd have to say their rice noodles weren't as full as other Thai noodles. The noodles were a bit broken and crumbly, they probably didn't separate them beforehand and it was a tad too salty. I would definitely come back and try out their HH. The space is amazing for a corp event and the food is for sure a hit. Authentic yummy food with a fusion ambiance

Food was delicious! I love that they have a vegan menu too with a fair amount of options. I ordered the glass noodles with veggies. It was so good! Portions are large! We had spring rolls for appetizers and they were super yummy too. Service was okay. Definitely a place to try if you're in the area

Second time here and I'm adding this to my list of go-to Thai restaurants. They have a delicious pad see ew with Chinese broccoli, my favorite broccoli to have in this dish. This time I got the crispy salted garlic with pork belly and I would definitely get it again. They have tasty cocktail drinks as well. Both times I've gone on a weekend and haven't had to wait to be seated. Friendly service as well. Can't wait to go back the next time I have a Thai food craving :)

Love the proximity and access but unfortunately Soi just falls flat on almost every dimension. The most recent visit, the restaurant was fairly empty (esp compared to the packed prior visits). Service the first time was also better. Cocktails are ok: not inventive, but a basic adoption of already done mixes. Main thing is that every dish we've tried is just way too sweet. Please cut the sugar and just use MSG please.... Or just cut the sugar for the love of Thai food....

I was very curious about this place after seeing lower yelp reviews than google reviews. It far exceeded my expectations in every aspect and I would definitely come back again. The interior was super fancy, server was attentive and nice, and food was very reasonably priced as well! I think the Thai food here was most similar to the Thai food I had in Thailand. However that might be why not everyone is used to the taste. The papaya salad I got was delicious. The peanuts were very crunchy and the lettuce was very fresh. Unlike other places, the papayas were well soaked in the juice which tells me the chef is very experienced. The only thing I'd change is add less garlic since it covered up the taste of the papaya. The BBQ pork collar was very tender and the dipping sauce was such a killer! I would say the pork is a little bit too salty on its own but it could be subjective. Plus that's what the sticky rice is there for! I also loved the shrimp chip that came with it. It's my first time seeing restaurants give our a large piece like that. Overall, I think the food here is very authentic but could still cater to western people. It is definitely a place I'd come back for quick bites with friends and I wish more people know about this place!
