Food and atmosphere are good, but the price and serving sizes are hard to stomach.

A super trendy atmosphere at this Thai Restaurant. The main dish was excellent. A great portion size too. We both got the Chicken Pad Thai. I got level 3 Spicy while the other plate was Level 1 out of 5. Level 3 was a lot spicer than I expected so next time I would get Level 2 since Level 1 was no spice at all. The side of white rice very good and fresh. The Veggie Spring rolls were average. The Thai iced Coffee was very tasty and delicious. The service was good. There were multiple different people checking in on our table. I loved how each table had a personal pitcher to give us the ability to refill our water. Overall, a great Thai dinner and experience at premium prices.

We didn't have a reservation and had to sit next to the bar, but we were happy to get in. Good food, great service. Drinks looked like fun but more $ than I wanted to spend for one. I had crispy garlic chicken. Also got to taste the pork belly which was yummy.

Ordered Pad Thai for pickup. Spent an additional $2 for an egg that I didn't get. I was looking forward to Bai Tong. This used to be my favorite Thai spot and lately it's just meh. Also noticed the food safety rating has fallen to an ibismal "okay" (aka one or 2 violations from SHUT DOWN). Going to pass going forward. Too bad.

Lovely and fun place. Dishes I've tried have been all good. It's very expensive for a thai restaurant, but better than others nearby and they have strong happy hour food deals.

We had such a lovely experience! 5 star food, 5 star service, and 5 star vibes! I got the fried rice and it was quite literally the best fried rice I’ve ever eaten. Astri was a phenomenal waitress and we just loved her! We will be

One of our favorite restaurants, and the first restaurant we brought my wife's friend from Thailand. We haven't had anything on the menu we didn't enjoy, and we order a lot every time we come.

Bai Tong is another great Thai restaurant in Cap Hill. They have a broad selection to choose from, and is ideal for eating family style. They have creative drinks and rotate specials, the Harry Potter drinks are a lot of fun. This is a great spot for family, friends, and celebrating birthdays. They are quick to accommodate big groups. Don't sit near the door in the winter :)

Harry potter theme was overrated. Ntg special except for few posters they stuck to the walls and very few harry potter references to the side of the cafe. Curry puff is a must try it was delicious! Crab wontons were good. Fried rice was disappointing and not that great. Looks like appetizers are great here but not the entrees!

It’s hard to find good Tom yum in Seattle, but somehow this tops the list for the *worst* tom yum I’ve ever had. I ordered a tom yum noodle soup and when I tell you it’s insanely sweet… it truly is. And i get it! A lot do Thai food in America is sweet, but this is like 3-tablespoons-of-sugar sweet. It’s not sour it’s not spicy at all (ordered three stars). The portion is so small. Overall just such disappointment because I could get a Mama brand instant noodles and make something 100x better and more filling than this.Also got the fish cakes appetizer which was good, I recommend that. The Thai basil pork belly with rice has such a small portion for the price. Overall, the price is not justified by the flavor at this place. I’d find somewhere else.Oh also, the Harry Potter themed drinks were so mid, and for $20???

The restaurant has great ambience and when we went, it has Harry Potter theme. It was fun but we had this feeling that the theme would be more appealing at night. Coming to service, service is nice and fast. Now to the food, crab wontons are delicious as well as fried garlic chicken. But I am not a fan of Thai Tom Yum Noodle Hot pot and Gai Hor Bai Toey. The chicken in Gai Hor Bai Toey is rubbery and dry. However, crab fried rice is another delicious entrée. The dessert Bua Loy served in coconut is not good at all, the rice balls are bland and interestingly it has a boiled egg inside the dessert. The prices are definitely on higher end. Overall, it’s fun to visit this themed restaurant but some of the items could be better.

I came here with a large group because our reservation at another restaurant was mistakenly messed up. They were able to double check with the manager and get us a table for 12 last minute, on a pretty busy Friday night at 7pm. They have a few really large tables in the back and lucky for us a reservation for 10 had cancelled! Great service and they were so accommodating and friendly! I had the red curry and my bf had the pad see ew, both were delicious! They have a big menu that can meet lots of dietary restrictions (gluten free, dairy free, and vegetarians in our bunch) and everyone was happy with their meal and cocktails. If you haven’t been here before and witnessed a birthday celebration, that’s seriously a must see in Seattle. This is such a friendly and welcoming restaurant and you can tell they really care about their customers. I’ve been to cap hill a number of times and for some reason never made it in here - I regret not trying them sooner!
