"That was one of the best food experiences of my life" - my eating buddy. The flavor explodes in your mouth, we loved this place. It's so authentic and simple yet complex at the same time, would eat here 3 times a week if we could. Cash only, only a few tables and there's always a small wait but it's so worth it. This is by far the best food in the u district
We saw them featured on local TV recently and decided to try them for dinner. It's a small place with an open kitchen where you can watch your food being built. We got there around 8pm on a Monday and where seated immediately. We got Panang curry with Chicken, and Shrimp Pad Thai. I loved the pad thai, very tasty and with the right amount of spice, I picked 4 as the spice level. I was asked if I wanted rice with pad thai, and chose not to get rice. Chicken Panang curry was very good.
Best pad thai I've ever had. Beware: their spicy scale has not been dumbed down for Americans -- your mouth will be on fire at level 3. You've been warned. The menus posted are grossly outdated, pricing-wise. All entrees are $15 as of Sept 2023. Thai iced tea is $3.50. Cash-only, still. The food is delicious, but for $15, the portions are very skimpy, and they try to compensate by loading you up with rice, hence the 4 stars. I will still dine here, but it'll be more as a special treat rather than a regular visit.
A really good casual place. Very simple and fresh dishes, love that you can see and feel the food cooking right in front of you. We got the basil chicken, panang curry, and pad thai(only noodles they had available) and everything tasted great. Pros: fast service, and fast movement on seating, only had to wait a few minutes on a weekday night Cons: cash only, only bottled water available, so consider getting a drink
I can't say enough good things about Thai Tom. This was probably the first restaurant I had real food after a lifetime of of what seemed like bland nonsense. This restaurant sent me on a mission to travel and find the best of everything I could throughout the entire world. I've been yelled at by the staff, I've been chased down the street for leaving too small of a tip and I have been abandoned by all the staff inside the restaurant while they took a smoke break. I took a photo of the Pad Thai. You've had it before but you haven't had this. It's dry spiced and has a smokey char like you'd expect from a street stall. Best Thai food in Seattle.
