The best restaurant in Monroe, hands down. Excellent, authentic Thai cuisine packed with flavor. Good enough to get my wife to like Thai food (previously was a struggle to get her to try more than a bite).Personal favorites are the phad Thai, phad see ew, panang curry, tom kha, wonton soup (best damn wonton soup I've ever had), sizzling seafood basket, pla chi chi (fried trout), and salmon jumping.Oh, and the peanut sauce is simply divine. In another league.

We LOVE Benjarong. Great service and food. We usually do take out, but their pad Thai is to die for!

I cannot even begin to describe how much I enjoyed my visit here. This was my first time having Thai food, but I can already tell it isn’t gonna get much better than this. There is a large menu with a variety of options for lunch, dinner, appetizers, and beverages.The service was great, we were seated quickly and our food came at a relatively reasonable time. Staff are straight to the point and I LOVE IT!!! The restaurant itself is awesome too. It was nicely decorated and it feels so cozy.My fiancé and I ordered Crab Delight and Pot Stickers as appetizers, and THEY WERE SO DAMN DELICIOUS! The crab delight was warm, creamy, and perfectly cooked; the pot stickers were so JUICY and full of flavor, and it felt so authentic (unlike most other Asian restaurants from my home state Georgia). I remember sitting at that booth and not being able to shut the hell up over how great and delicious those pot stickers were.Their Crab Fried Rice was spectacular; it was juicy, hot, flavorful as all hell, and I really liked the cilantro added to it. These people really care about quality and it SHOWS!!I’ve only been here once, but man I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone who is skeptical of it. If I ever win the lottery, TRUST that I will be donating thousands of dollars of my winnings to this place.

We have been coming here for years.i have always ordered a 5 +star. The young blondish hair waitress was very a matter of fact and abrasive. She asked what number of heat and for years I have always ordered 5+ star .my husband like middle spice which would be a 3 she annoyed the way we ordered our spice then tells us it's 0 through 10.never been told that and on the menu it only goes to 5. it wa like pulling teeth to order exactly how we always do.please get the sweet Asian waitress back. On the way driving home I looked up spiciness stars and even on the menu it only goes to 5..so I don't know what her deal was..we also said we do not want the pai thai.she then said so u want the dinner? I said I don't know I just do not want the pai thai with our chicken cashew.and she made this confusing big deal about it..Anyway love love their food it's the best thai I have ever had.just not impressed with the young white gal waitress.

Got food poisoning on Tuesday 02/27/24. Called to let the store know and was told “Oh okay” I asked for a refund on $18 chicken fried rice and was told “no refund, have a good day”. I’m never coming back. Reported to Snohomish county health department.

We have been dining at Benjarong for over 20 years and it has never disappointed us. Owner operated, They do a very good job on their cuisine, it's Authentic and delicious. Clean dining room, friendly service. It's money well spent.

My husband and I visited this restaurant for our first time tonight - it was great!The best part was the service. The server was a very sweet young woman who did a great job. She checked on us frequently and our baby loved her (they provided us a high chair). The whole staff were very kind - we started to clean up the mess our baby made and they said they'll take care of it. One of the ladies had stopped by to say hi to the baby, we learned she has a 5 month old granddaughter. Coming from nearby small town Duvall, we absolutely love the family and small business feel. The atmosphere was family friendly - we went pretty early for dinner and there were other families with children there. There wasn't loud music playing, very easy to talk to each other.I loved the Thai iced tea - it's a huge serving and I didn't need a second glass. I had the sizzling seafood basket. They must have slightly outdated menus because it did not arrive on a sizzling plate, but that's fine. The noodles soaked up most of the spices so to me the veggies and seafood tasted like there was no spice on them - not a problem to take a piece of each in a bite though. Love that they offer brown rice to replace white rice at no surcharge. Food was cooked very well - piping hot and the veggies like the onions, carrots, and ginger were definitely fresh. The seafood was not overcooked/chewy.We ordered kids chicken pad Thai for my baby. It was quite a portion! It automatically comes no spicy so to my husband and I it was very sweet, but I could see kids loving it.My husband ordered the holy basil with prawns. Will warn people that the tails are still on, for those that can't stand having to peel them off. He ate every last piece and loved it. He got 3* spicy and said he could have gotten it spicier.One thing that really stood out to me was how they garnish the dishes. I thought they were beautiful. Like the pad Thai had fresh beans sprouts, shaved carrots & purple cabbage - it really gave a good pop of color.My only negative feedback is we ordered the crab delight and it was 15% too salty. Not so salty we couldn't eat it, but definitely hits the tongue and we needed to drink water after eating it.Would definitely come back to eat here!
