Spicy and delicious! Super friendly staff. You eat at the walk up bar style seating. So better for a 2 person date rather than a group.

This place is the definition of a hole-in-the-wall. No tables, only a counter with 7 seats so a lot of customers do take-out. The had more workers (8) than customers (7). Ordered our favorites pad see ew and yellow curry. Food was ready in 15 minutes and we headed to the nearby park by the river to eat. Pad see ew was excellent. Good flavor, beef was tender and I even liked the veggies. Wife loved the yellow curry. Good portion sizes.

Excellent food. Even though it's a simple side dish, the blue coconut rice is the best I've ever had. I would dine here often if I lived nearby.

Really good Pad Thai here! It's good a lot of sauce, and it was, indeed, pretty spicy, like they said. I got mine at medium heat, and it did taste spicier than that to me. I also had the thai iced tea, and it was also fairly nice, though maybe more ice than I expected. The only con I could think of was that the staff kinda forgot about my order for 30min, until I asked about it again; the food was prepared very shortly after I asked, though. Also, the number of seats is really low, so it's hard to do sit down (but yeah, it's a really low-key shop, so that makes sense). Overall, would love to come again, if I'm in town for the tulip festival again.

Literally a hole in the wall, a counter with a few stools, and the kitchen frantically making wonderful dish one after another. A real delight. We had the chicken satay (peanut sauce to die for) and a magnificent chicken pad thai. Pay attention to whoever takes your order when they ask about heat levels, we went with level 1 and I think level 1/2 would have been more comfortable!

Hole in the wall hidden gem! The most delicious Kao soi in this country anyway. They have just 9 seats in a bar style seating so if you're going at prime time plan to wait or go for take-out. They close at 5pm on Saturdays and are closed Sunday and Monday otherwise open for lunch to 3pm and then 5-8pm daily. It takes us about 45minutes from home to get here, and we make the trip, they are THAT good. Oh and it's SPICY.

Half was the spice level above no spice, haha. That's the level of spice we ordered and we were glad that they had warned us in advance. And let me tell you, this kitchen does not kid around!! They had diner counter style seating which was filled when we first went in (us being a party of 2 filling it in) as we were nearing 7:30 pm. It seemed like there were a lot of takeout orders. Definitely a hole in the wall spot and cooked with plenty of heart (and heat). I really enjoyed my tofu phad ba mee. It's definitely amongst one of the best Thai restaurants I've been to! I also enjoyed watching them cook up the orders. Post-dinner we took a black rice pudding to go which was also delicious- reminded me of congee pudding in a nostalgic way. Literally found this using Google Maps roughly coming back from a hike at Deception Pass State Park so really truly stumbled upon a gem!

It was good food, not the great. The price was much highter then what you got, but for local Thai it was good. I would try again.

I absolutely loved my dining experience today. I ordered the Phad Woon Sen and Coconut Prawns. My meal was hot, with just the right amount of heat. I enjoy watching my meal being prepared. This is my go to restaurant when I at in town.

If you're a fan of heat like I am this is the only thai restaurant that makes food as spicy as you want. Their food is delicious their price and wait times are reasonable. I've only ordered food to go so I can't speak to the dine in experience. There is an open area roughly a block away with picnic tables that looks out over the river, so I've never really felt the need.

Holy cow, I can’t believe I slept on this place. I’m making my way through the menu and have had ZERO disappointments. The coconut shrimp are SO much better than any I’ve ever had, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The spice level is HITTING, and as a pretty hot head I think 2 is perfect. If I have to pick a favorite I think it may be the garlic sauce vegetable dish or the phad bae me and phad won sen (which I know is not one favorite, so sue me)! Check them out for take out or dine in!
