I made the review for 2 Version one in Thai Language and the other one in English Language.ThaiFor Thai people who travel to work in the Seattle, Tacoma, Gig harbor or nearby areas and really want to eat Thai food. I recommend this shop. The atmosphere in the restaurant, the taste of food, the care and quantity of food. Nothing was flawless. I came to work at Tacoma for 2 days. I came to eat two days in a row. The shop owner's name is Jeremy. Friendly and very hospitable. I invited a friend to eat on the second day and they liked it. I recommend it. It's a bit of a drive from Seattle, but the taste is good and it's worth it.EnglishJeremy, the owner, was incredibly welcoming. The portions were generous, leaving me completely satisfied. This place exceeded all my expectations! Highly recommended for an authentic Thai experience.I definitely come back . Highly recommend!!!!!

By far the best kept secret Thai food restaurant in Tacoma or even the PNW. Service, quality and flavor of the food, portion sizes… literally everything is perfect and consistent every time. I’ve been coming here for years and don’t intend on stopping.

SO GOOD! My family and I got takeout here a few days before Christmas. They were clearly super busy (with takeout orders and in restaurant dining) but had everything ready pretty quickly. The pad kee mao was for sure the best I’ve ever had. The basil chicken and larb were also delicious. We all got 8 dishes altogether and each had a different favorite, so it’s hard to list them all here. They also included a lil holiday dessert which was so cute. Definitely coming back!

Best restaurant in Tacoma and I will die on this hill. Since moving here from the Bay Area, I’ve been on a hunt to find the best food and this is easily my #1. I recommend the daily/weekly specials and anything with sour pork. So happy to have found this spot!

We used to get takeout at Loak Tong Thai and have always found it to be authentic ASEAN food with fresh flavors and ingredients. Went back today and found their dining space to be expanded and remodeled, creating a much nicer ambiance similar to a street eatery. Food portions were huge and everything was very tasty and reasonably priced. Am glad we came over the bridge to escape the expensive Gig Harbor thai and get a much better experience in this hidden secret.

Great service, good neighborhood hole in the wall, nice ambiance inside, BIG portions for price (at least for carry out) but the food is quite mediocre in my opinion, and I’ve had a lot of Thai food. Under seasoned, under

Whenever I go to other Thai restaurants they never give me the Thai spice. But luckily I found this amazing place!!! I usually get the pad see ew level 10 spice & oh my goodness it’s what I wanted/needed with the flavor & the spice. One thing I wish was better is the location, it’s kinda in the back & not a lot of people notice it. But overall my favorite Thai restaurant reminds me of my mom’s cooking!Ps. Don’t get Thai spice if yall can’t handle it, don’t need no cry babies calling the restaurant because you couldn’t handle no spice.

Everytime when we want Thai food, we always comes here! My kiddos love their fish cake, and we always ordered pud kee mao, pineapple fried rice, crying tiger, garlic chicken! Been here so much that we end up knowing the owners very well!
