Similan Thai Cuisine

My go-to thai place in Issaquah.

Only eaten at the restaurant a handful of times and its been a pleasant experience.

I typically order take-out and never once have had issues in the 2+ years of being a customer. But the last few times I found egg shells in my pad thai, and the onions, bell peppers, and celery in my cashew chicken were under cooked. They were still crunchy and cold in the middle! Even the chicken was super soft compared to normal which made me nervous that it was under cooked as well. I've had to throw away the last two times I've ordered because the food just wasn't what it normally is.

I never have issues here so I figure it may be a new employee or maybe the kitchen was busy and they needed to put food out as quickly as possible. Outside of that their food is usually fantastic!

The food was very good. Nice flavours, quality and presentation. They lose points for service. They pretty much asked if we were ready to order the moment we sat down. We said no. Then maybe one minute later was asked again. Then maybe a minute later, asked again. As we hadn’t been before and was there to catch up with friends we weren’t really in a rush. They didn’t offer to take a drinks order yet either. Took order, everything ok. Appetisers came, nice....then two minutes later the entrees came. So the entrees were getting cold on this cramped table after barely starting. Blah blah blah....now we didn’t know they closed at 9. Our fault for next checking....but we got asked to pay whilst still eating, pretty much harassed to finish and the waiter quite rudely came up and told us they were closed now. Waitress came up in her raincoat and cleared the table halfway while we were trying to fill our ‘to go’ boxes. We laughed it off but it wasn’t the politest or most professional way to speak to a customer.

I tried this place in the past with my friend and I am hooked since then. I loved the excellent vibes and flavorful food and beverages. Fantastic work.

Excellent Phad Thai here, our favorite! Chicken or Tofu. Beautiful remodel really opened up the space. Fast & courteous service.

Really great spot. I loved the interior with a intimate layout and nice private back room. The food was great. I had panang crispy duck and spicy scallops. Both were great. They also offer some drinks and special feature appetizers that change off the menu. The staff was very friendly and quick, visiting the table many times. I really felt well taken care of. They even brought out clean plates after finishing the salad so the sauces didn't mingle. The restaurant is a little bit off the main road so be sure to seek it out! Don't forget the desserts!
