Thai Tom

If you’re looking for an alternate option after the disappointing 1.5hr wait time at Kin Len, then I highly recommend Thai Tom. It’s a small but mighty hole-in-the-wall place where you’ll see a chef working up to six beautiful items at once. I loved that I could see my dish being made fresh and served immediately. We got the pad Thai with Tofu, chicken yellow curry and curry chicken noodles. All meals were delicious and reminded me of the street food of Phuket. Service was also with a smile. On busy nights be prepared to wait up to 30 mins for a seat and another 20 mins for your food. But it’s worth it for the freshness, flavour and price!

This place is not to be underestimated. It’s a tiny spot that fits less than a dozen people and they are a cash only business. The pad see ewe is utter perfection. The incredible char on the wide rice noodles and their distinct techniques make every dish here an absolute treasure. It’s a small menu, but everything is prepared with heart and soul. The first time I came here was nearly 8 years ago and I was nervous to come back after so long. I’m happy to say that the quality of the food is still far above any Thai restaurant I’ve been to in the US. You aren’t going to get overly friendly service from this place, but the people there are working very hard and moving quickly to get you your food quickly. There are no fake smiles here and they don’t need them with food this good.

The food here is amazing! We drove up from olympia once a month, Plus side - cool atmosphere, fresh fresh food ! prices not bad Dislikes - Very tight seating, and im a big guy. They will not seat your party until all there, even if the food is paid for in advance. also refils on anything take a little while. but overall, it is a good place to eat. also usually a decent wait time often and CASH ONLY.

This place was awesome. It was a cozy little bar which could only fit a few people at a time. You could see the food being cooked and felt like you were immersed in the restaurant. The service was great and the menus were really cool, being wooden blocks. The food was really good and fairly priced. I saved some for leftovers and loved it.

I was visiting Seattle from Chicago on 8/19. I was searching for a good Thai place to eat. After reading the reviews, I decided to check out Thai Tom. I was not disappointed. I sat at the counter watching the chef work his magic. The food was delicious! I had the chicken Pad Thai. It was plenty. I had leftovers. The service was great. It's a small place, and they only take cash. I would suggest checking it out.

This is a must try. First time I came here, I was amazed at how close I was to the rising flames of the cook, whisking briskly my food which was followed by spoon slaps of added sauce and finished in minutes, my food steaming on the plate as it was directly served in front of me. This is a small intimate place that gives off such a unique vibe. Flavors are wonderful. As you finish, they was and clean your plate as soon as possible, ready for the next dish. It’s a slick process they have in there. Only downside is it is cash only. I would have come here SO MUCH MORE if they accepted credit card. Parking is a little challenging but this is expected on the Ave. Love this place. Pad Thai and fried rice are delicious.
