"I 've been here twice with another person, once when it was crowded and another time when we were the only ones there. They have three specials this month (which were the same as last month 's... , and I tried all three. (Pictures are posted Service: I 've never seen the waiters talk that much. However, they 're always dressed nicely and professional in how they take orders and bring food out/away. They refill water regularly. Food speed: both times I 've gone, I thought the food took longer than it should have to come out. It seems that this is a popular place to order takeout, which would explain the delays. However, they may be understaffed in their kitchen. Who knows. Food price: I think even for Seattle and the quality of the food, this place is kind of expensive. Their main dishes are $12+ but the portions aren 't very big. They are filling though, especially if you get rice on the side (which is $2 for a bowl . Lunch/early dinner for 2 cost $40 for two main dishes, rice, and tea. They do have a slight lunch discount. However, their lunch times aren 't advertised and dinner starts as early as 3 PM. Food quality: the presentation and somewhat small sizes of dishes for the price really does make you think this is 'fine dining ' as they advertise. The tastiness of the food is probably the strongest point at this place. I don 't eat much Thai food, but I haven 't had anything I didn 't like here. It 's all tasty. Ambience: lighting is warm but not super bright and there are a lot of window seats. There is no outdoor seating. The interior decorations are tasteful and rather sparse, but they do have a small side room for parties, I 'm guessing, and a centerpiece Thai deity(? statue. It 's a cool place. Food rec: pad prik king is the best if you like Szechuan peppercorn (which is definitely present in the dish but not overpowering . The avocado curry and som thai gai-yang are also very good!"

"We loved the eating in person at the restaurant, until it was time for her to ship our order to us in another state.We ordered 7 plates of pepper soup and one half of countainer of egusi soup. She stated she did overnight shipping, however, we never received the shipment until two days later. she stated she had put insurance on the food but they were unable to give her a refund due to being perishable. which she never mentioned to us. Before she even sent the food it took her nearly a week to ship it out. We kept calling and calling. When she did ship the food, she did not properly wrapped/ secured the food(no buble wrap/plastic wrap or seal). Everything was damaged on arrival. We paid $100 for a down payment of our $165 food order. Then we paid $125 for shipping. We called her that our food was damaged due to her improper storage method which she was un remorseful. We even told her to at least send us the refund the USPS gave her since they didn't keep to the promise of her overnight shipment but she refused to send us the money back. I've known restaurants to compensate customers, especially with the poor packaging of food which you're sending to another state. The owner of this business is very unprofessional. I wished I had insight into how much of a nightmare this whole thing would have been, I wouldn't of bothered ordering from there. So in total, she still owes us our balance of money in which she blocked both myself and my husband's numbers. If I could have given her business 0 stars, I would! Over two weeks of trying to communicate with her to no avail. So unprofessional in the way she response to issue and handle business."
