Benjarong Thai Cuisine

We order takeout probably once a month and it's always consistent good quality. The curry is always thick and creamy (unlike other places where it can be watery) and their spice levels are right on target (I usually get a 3 or 4 for us adults and a 0 for the kids). Lots of fresh veggies in the dishes. The to go packaging is awesome quality as well. Not sure why this place has poor reviews but that's why I wanted to leave a review to support them and give our experience.

What I really love about living in Maple Valley is the abundance of great little restaurants that are close by to where I live. This is the latest little gem that I discovered. We used to live near a pretty good Thai place in Renton, and was missing that Since we moved.Located directly adjacent to the Fred Meyer store off of Maple Valley Highway. This place is in a great location with plenty of parking. I placed an order online and was kept apprised of the order status. The restaurant was very clean and the server super friendly.I got the pad Thai And chicken wings appetizer. The chicken wings were a generous portion with a sweet Thai chili sauce. The pad Thai was a generous, serving and not too sweet or spicy. Generous portions of chicken breast were interspersed with the noodles.If you're in the Maple Valley area I highly recommend this place.

I read the earlier reviews so went into this place cautious, but boy did they blow us away! First off, we ordered tons of food: Veggie pad Thai, green curry, pad see ew, pineapple fried rice, chicken fried rice, and two Tom yum soups. My biggest concern is that we were doing takeout and worried about the food being lukewarm and not very tasty. But guess what? We loved everything on the menu. The Tom yum soup was delicious, generous portion of chicken and lots of the tasty mushrooms. The See Ew noodles hit the spot, pineapple fried rice came with the perfect amount of spice. Long story short, we'll be coming here from now on. To top it off, the customer service was great! No mixups, wrong items or wrong spice levels. Everything cooked well and tastes fresh!

Tastes delicious until the food poisoning hits. I decided to try it because I work nearby. I ordered tofu pad thai, and it tasted delicious. But soon after I was very ill and had to run for the bathroom. I opted for tofu because my coworker had previously received undercooked chicken. Also, the website said $9.95, and I got charged $14 something. I got a to go order, however the restaurant itself has storage and supplies everywhere. Quite messy, the ambiance was not great. But the woman who greeted me was friendly.

The Tom Kha Gai is why I'm giving this place a two, because the drunken noodles even add a spice level two is an edible for how spicy it is. I've had Thai food four many different places and I usually get a three and I'm usually fine are usually want like a four but I decided he's a new place why not just make sure and get a two and whatever no harm no foul I am scared that if I would've gotten four how spicy it would've beenThank God the soup was edible always really good chicken was really good no complaints with that but damn really disappointed that the drunken noodles were too spicy for me to even eat.

They're pretty good cooks and servers here. My mother is one of their biggest fans. I love the curry and noodle salads. She also likes their curries. It's an addicting place to eat in the nicest way. I hope to see them again. Thank you Cupcoon Kha

This was our first visit to Benjarong and we'll definitely be back again! The service was excellent, the food was prepared in no time. We tried the Pad Thai, Pad Bai Ka pow rice and Gai Pad Cashew chicken. All were excellent.

This is a good "to go" Thai spot. I don't care for the Ambiance so I just call in and pick up. Mid-level food at mid-level pricing when you need a curry fix.

Probably one of the worst Thai restaurants around the area!!! When we first walked in, got greeted by an Indian employee. She seated the 4 of us and gavs us menus. There were 2 other tables with dine-in customers. We received water with tepid temperature, no ice. Most likely tap water...After briefly looking at the menu full of pricey appetizers and entrees, we decided on a few items. But the server was nowhere to be found. Saw her talking on the phone with somebody for 5-10 minutes ans didn't see another waitress in the restaurant... Anyway, when she finally came over we ordered a Papaya Salad, a Crispy Pork Belly, Crispy Garlic Chicken, Pad Kana (Broccoli) with Chicken, and a Pad See Ew Noodle entree along with a Thai Iced Tea. 5 minutes later, the Indian server came back telling us that they ran out of Crispy Pork Belly. So, we had to ask to see the menu again...All of the food items were peiced between $10-$20!!! Again, the waitress was attending to something in the back and then went around somewhere until we had to call for her... Once she came around to our table again, we requested for the Grilled Pork Salad and another Thai Iced Tea. At that point, we were pretty fed up with the nonchalant service which was getting increasingly slow by the minute!!We got the Thai Iced Tea and refills on water.I think it took about 15-20 minutes for the foods to come out. We received the Chicken with Broccoli first and were blatantly surprised by how small the portion was for paying $15!!! Then the Papaya Salad came, the Crispy Garlic Chicken, a big bowl of Rice and the Pad See Ew. We wanted all of the foods to be 4-5 star spice level, but none of them were spicy! Noodles were bland, the Chicken with Broccoli tasted like it had no chili, the Papaya Salad wasn't 5 star spicy at all and the Grilled Pork Salad we got didn't taste like the usual Thai type of salad. It felt more Indian or it tasted more Indo due to some kind of seasoning they put. And the grilled pork did not seem fully cooked!!! Took one bite and could NOT eat any more of it. BAD tasting and wrongly made!!! I don't know what that was, but taste was very off. Wasted $13!!!Anyhow, we finished most of the entrees besides the 2 salads... The Crispy Garlic Chicken was actually pretty good out of all of the entrees we had ordered. The Jasmine Rice was fine and the Thai Iced Tea was alright as well. The Ambiance? Not that comfortable. Service you ask?! Probably a 2 out of 10. Food quality and taste?!? Between a 1 and 6 out of 10. Had much better Thai foods at other restaurants. I wouldn't recommend this place at all!!!

With no advance reservations, we took a huge family here for dinner during Christmas week. We ordered quite a few dishes we'd never tried, along with the standard favorites and everyone had some of each. Every dish had such individual and unique flavor, and we all loved them. The restaurant is fairly intimate, with low lighting that makes it seem like yours is the only table in the room. Our waitress was just lovely. The family is still raving over the fantastic dinner there and we've decided to make this a tradition during Christmas week, and probably every other excuse we can find! It is definitely worth a try, even for the non-Thai picky eater.
