Was really looking forward to trying the place, but it didn't really meet expectations based on the other reviews. To start with, parking was a nightmare. It's right next to a car dealership, and we had to really squeeze into a spot. When we got inside, we were one of only 2 occupied tables, so we figured that our service would be spectacular, but that wasn't the case, either. There were 2 people in the kitchen, and a waitress. The waitress was quick to bring out water, but seemed really impatient, like she was having an awful day, or had something else on her mind. We ordered appetizers and Thai tea. Then, after a few minutes, ordered our entrees. The tea was great, we got our appetizers at the same time as our entrees, even though we ordered separately. The orange beef came out room temperature, even though everything else was piping hot. We set the orange beef at the end of the table to indicate that there was something wrong with it, but our waitress went out a side door and didn't return for the entire 15 minutes we were eating. We weren't asked once how our food was, or offered refills. The bill was about $70 for 3 entrees, 2 appetizers, and 4 drinks (+ the water). Someone from the kitchen rung us up, I don't know what happened to the waitress. All in all, the food was good, except the orange beef issue. The peanut sauce was pretty tasty, which is a must for Thai food restaurants to get right.

Used to eat here as a kid in the late 90s and Early 2000s. I returned to the area on vacation and was pleased to see they are still in businesses. Amazing food! My wife and I loved the Pad Thai so much we got it three times while there for a week. Pad Thai, no peanuts, spicy 3. Try it, you won’t regret!

I had a #44 House Special Stir Fry with a side of peanut sauce for a take-out lunch with some people from work. The stir fry was excellent and adequately spiced (I like it hot, so I asked for an honest 5/5 spice level). Portions were large enough that I could make two meals out of one order. Surprising for the cost of the dish. The peanut sauce was a little too sweet for my taste, but it blended well with the sauce in the stir fry. Would absolutely recommend. Good taste, great value.

Not fancy at all. But their foods made me to miss Thailand. If you guys wanna try to eat real Thai foods, Khon Kaen is the only one place in WA.

This was an pleasantly delicious place. I wasn't expecting much, being a Thai food place in pratcially what is a hole in a wall. But man did they deliver on quality and service. All that I ordered was of excellent quality (including hand-wrapped and freshly fried egg rolls). And the personnel there were very nice ready to serve! I definitely recommend this place to anyone and plan on coming the next chance that I get!

Average Thai food. Nothing special about this place. The prices are fair. Thai can be hit or miss, and this is neither. Finding the place can be a bit of a challenge with the building and parking lot is within a car lot with an apartment complex behind it. The curry was decently flavored, except the lack of spice. I ordered 4 stars and it was not hot. I didn't feel heat even once when eating it. I normally eat 3 star, and was hoping for something to help clear the sinuses. Instead, I got food that was not spicy. The pad thai was bland. Not only was this lacking any heat, it was lacking any seasoning. The pad thai reminded me more of the chow mien that you get at a grocery store deli than any good quality pad thai that I have had before.
