“ Wonderful thai food! We had pineapple fried rice, pot stickers, DUCK curry, red curry vegan, green curry tofu and it was all great! Quick and straight forward service. Not a lot of sitting area inside but some outdoor as well. Good size portions and appropriate flavor and spiciness. ”
“ Every time I am in Seattle, I always make sure to come here at least once or twice. When we were here the last time we ate the fresh rolls and Green curry. Not only is this restaurant very reasonably priced, it is also in a great part of town with a nice laid-back patio. Every time we come here, the owner is very attentive and funny and full of life. The food is impeccable. The fresh rolls are some of the best appetizers I've had in my entire life as well. They come with tofu, carrots, and noodles as well as a warm spicy peanut sauce. Just typing here makes me want to go back again for lunch today because it is that good.! ”
“ A loyal customer of Kwanjai Thai here! This review is long overdue. Johnny and his wife can really cook! Best pad thai I've eaten anywhere. Our usual order's pad thai(3 spicy), tofu tod, and chicken satay. We order during holidays, when relatives visit, or when we feel the need to reward ourselves. I definitely recommend them! ”
“ Their cashew nut chicken is amazing. Good price, great portions, and quick service. Thanks! ”
“ Great Thai place. Run by a couple. We saw many locals stop by who knew them by name. The food was great. Spice level 4 was just the right amount of spicy. Super reasonably priced and large portions. ”
“ I've worked in restaurants for my entire adult life, so about 11 years now, and there are seldom places that truly create a warmth of atmosphere like Kwanjai Thai. We were immediately greeted by the owners, a passionate couple whose food and liveliness I will never forget, and had a lovely dinning experience that made me feel like I had been going here every Friday for years. The matron of the establishment is sweet, the food is divine, and the place is warm and welcoming. I had a blast and will be back. ”
“ Very casual good Thai food! Good prices! Large servings. The lady who is always there is straightforward and works hard. Some people say she’s rude. I thinks she’s trying to work fast and very sweet if you actually talk to her. ”
“ I love this place!!! The food is delicious and the portions are satisfying. The little house feels like you're back in Thailand with your favorite Thai family taking care of you! If you're afraid of spice, get the lowest of stars and doctor it up yourself. If you love the heat, but don't want to be in pain, 3 stars works. ”
