    Delicious. Reccomend Pad mu kua Yao - sesonal eggplant /porkbelly dish and KaNoom Jeen Nam Prik - peanut curry with lots of fresh veggies

    This is authentic Thai food from the northeastern region. It's very difficult to find Isan food outside of Thailand. I highly recommend!

    Try the "Sai Ua" (Thai style sausage). It is seasoned with just the right amount of herbs and spices and not found in 99% of Thai restaurants. A unique northern Thai dish that is so delicious!

    Many options can be made vegetarian or vegan. Food from Isan - it's different than other Thai cuisine you may be familiar with & quite fresh and delicious!

    Coming from South East Asia. I must say this is truly authentic and probably one of the nicest I had compare to those I tried back home in Singapore. All thumbs up!

    Staff is very nice. Don't expect cheap big portions like university district/Chinatown. Expect a lot of flavor, that's what you get! Great place!

    Good edition to Ballard hood. The food was bound to be good when I asked for "phad thai and phad si ew" (sp?), and the told me they had neither, & alt favs were elegant & yummy. Super friendly.

    Northern Thai cuisine is delicious. Pestel Rock is an amazing place to try your journey to the North. Try the chicken wings!

    You gotta get that crab fried rice! I also love the salad with eggplant and ground pork - you wouldn't think a salad with pork in it would be so light and fresh.

    I keep coming back for the crab fried rice, they use real Dungeness crab, and it's really addictive. Salads are also wonderful and flavorful.

    Yum larb isan is fresh and addicting. Order that and something off their specials menu.

    Incredible Thai Food - maybe the best in the city. Be sure to get the tray of spices and chilies

    Fresh Thai spices are ground daily! If you are looking for quick, cheap, greasy phad thai, do not go here; you belong in the u district.

    Menu is too large for everything to be fresh, but the tossed salads might be the highlight

    If you're having rice, go for the brown rice. It's excellent.
