    I love Thai food so I had to try this place for dinner when driving thru the area. To say that everything was delicious is an understatement. The staff were so nice and made the experience even better!

    We don't eat out often due to dairy restrictions for my son, so when we do I always make sure it's somewhere safe for him. I remembered eating here when I worked right in downtown years ago and I always had fabulous lunch items. My son has had Japanese and Chinese food but never Thai, figured it was time to change that. We came in for dinner and there was only one other table with people when we came in. Not sure if lunch is the busy time or if people do take out more at dinnertime these days. They did have a few take out orders while we were there. Our server was very nice and super helpful suggesting items. I know it was slow but checking in a couple more times for water or to offer tea would have put the service to a 5 for me. Now about the food. Delicious. We got Combination #1 and chicken satay with peanut sauce. My son devoured the chicken satay and ate all 4 skewers. Took to chopsticks like he was born with them. Told me repeatedly he loved Thai food and the next day ate all the leftovers. I left feeling stuffed and happy, I don't eat carbs often anymore so the term food coma applied 100% in my case. Delicious and we will come back again, we just may change where we sit so easier for staff to see us.

    Always great food, ample portions. This is a long time Olympia establishment. Currently,. They are take out only, but they do plan to open for dine in soon. They have recently remodeled the seating area. We need to support this establishment, I will.

    Love this place. Wonderful food, high quality and well prepared. Very nice family business. Hard for a place like this with covid, increasing prices, staff and wages. I hope they can make it, we will keep coming!

    Very delicious food! Such large portions and not expensive. We ordered Combo #1 (egg roll, vegetarian pad Thai, rice, sautéed veggies and chicken) and Combo #2 (egg roll, vegetarian pad Thai, rice, curry). It was so much food we had very full take home containers. But everything was delicious! We’ll definitely stop here again next time we pass through Olympia.

    Got the food to-go, and can say it was a fast and great experience. From ordering in person till I was in my car driving away was a total of about 15 minutes, and while I waited inside it was a pleasant experience with good art pieces and a clean calm environment. The Mekong egg rolls and Phud Thai were the best I’ve eaten. The Mekong curry was also good and very spicy. I will definitely be eating here again.

    I have been coming here for the past 16 years and have not had a bad meal yet. The food is very good and extremely consistent. The portions are great and the prices are very reasonable compared to other local offerings. The curries are my favorites!

    Got combo number 1 The Phad Thai, veggies, and rice combo. Very good , portion was very large, can easily be turned into multiple meals. No dine in at the moment but they were super fast for a walk in order. They had my meal ready and packaged in about 10 minutes after I placed it.

    We were a group of 5 people (3 adults and 2 kids). We ordered 5 family style entrees and thought we'd share. The waitress brought us 3 plates. We asked her for more and initially she said we'd need to buy them. My comment was I image that we had bought them already. We spent 90 dollars for lunch! We found the place Expensive and Rude.

    One of my favorite Asian restaurants in town! Food is super yummy, staff is very nice, and they have lots of gluten free offerings. Great prices too!

    This place is just awesome. It's a staple in Olympia with their huge portions and great atmosphere, and decent prices. I've been coming here for well over 10 years, and I've never been disappointed with the food, service, or ordering a ton of different food at once. It's always hot, fresh, and done correctly every time. Did I mention the portions are huge? Come check them out! Support local families.

  • 5/5 Gabriel A. 8 months ago on Google
    My girlfriend and I both love ordering takeout from here. The portions are always much appreciated as we both love quantity when it comes to food. The food hasn't ever let either of us down, the cashiers haven't ever been rude, and the prices are the best I've ever experienced. Pleased with the quick service and food. - Gabriel Alexander W.

    A good place to get Thai food. A bit hard to park because it is in downtown Olympia. However, when you come in you're greeted, and seated. Ended up having curry and pad Thai. Wife had the same thing but five stars. She actually found a place that she thought was spicy. Would definitely eat there again

    Stopped in tonight for the first time and had dinner. It's a wonderful quaint spot with some amazing food. I had the Penang Mekong curry which was full of flavor and a kick of spice. The creamy tomato coconut broth tied it all together nicely and did not disappoint. The spring rolls were loaded with tender chicken and plump shrimp, served with an amazing peanut sauce. If you're in the area and looking for good Thai food, this is the place to go.

    Delicious food. Friendly staff. Some of the best Thai food that I can remember eating. Pork was tender and perfectly cooked. Peanut sauce was on point. Generous portions, excited for my leftovers, 💯 will be back.

    Wish they were open more hours. Good food, large portions for a reasonable price. Great vegetarian options.

  • 5/5 A L. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food and helpful staff. Gluten-free options are clearly labeled on the menu, as well as dishes that can be made gluten-free on request.

  • 5/5 Zula W. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious food, always. Same quality food and service for at least 20 years that I've known.

  • 3/5 Shannon T. 6 years ago on Google
    I can see how this is a great lunch spot for the folks who work downtown- quick service, generous potions, and minimal interaction with the staff. The food was good but nothing extraordinary. The veggies we're very fresh and the house tea was delicious (Jasmine tea). It's in an older building on the corner, so street parking and overall curb appeal is lacking. Interior is clean, just dated. There is a parking lot behind the building if you're in a pickle. Try the entree menu, you'll probably be more impressed.

    Good home style meal liked by everyone in the family

  • 5/5 Oran T. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing food! If you want to try it, one order of pad thai will easily work for two people. Friendly staff and quick service.

  • 4/5 Travis G. 2 years ago on Google
    Super kind and friendly. Said 25 min for pickup and was ready in less than 15. We both liked our curries. Nobody makes fried tofu like Indochine in federal way used to though (out of business). Not even close. Thai restaurants, please fry with tempura batter until fluffy golden and people will love it!

    It was great tasting food and large portions for a fair price. Phad Thai made w tamarind not ketchup like others in Olympia. Take out only but they let us eat at the table with our take out boxes. Got a purple rice pudding. Huge portion, tasty. The hot and spicy large noodles were good too. Curry was great. Chicken was very moist and tender. Looked like it was pulled from a whole roasted chicken. Phad Thai was excellent. Will eat here again.

    Our family was all bedridden with covid when I ordered a delivery from this restaurant. We got the yellow curry and the mekong fried rice with chicken, and this food is magical. All the nice fresh basil, ginger, shallots, turmeric, etc combined in a way that really made everyone feel so much better after eating it. It tasted wonderful too. Thank you so much for making such good Thai food. Thai food is the best comfort food when you're sick and we really needed it.
