Laem Buri

Pleasant service and delicious food. Khao soi and Gang Pha made vegetarian were very flavorful.

I must have eaten here a dozen times already! I'm surprised that I haven't written them a glowing review already. I think I've tried every single one of their curries and a few of the rice noodle dishes. I also had one of their specials once, it was duck. everything I've ever eaten here has been so delicious and that's why I keep coming back. I've brought my family here and recommended to friends all the time. The next time I go I'll have to add some photos of my food. They are probably so far back in my camera roll I don't want to dig them out right now but I guarantee that you will have a great experience here, and if you don't, the staff is so nice and friendly that I'm sure that they would remedy any issue you have. Try going there to eat in if you can, I love the high walled booths. They feel so, cozy and private and it's a nice, warm atmosphere.

I'm not sure what happened, Laem Buri has been a go to Thai spot in Seattle for me and my family since we moved to Seattle years ago. I've noticed a continuous decline in quality since the pandemic. Tonight we ordered out and I just was so disappointed. The curry is now half the portion in size it used to be, quality of food seemed lower than it used to, and everything was just very bland other than chili spice and not as flavorful as it used to be. It's really disappointing to see a local favorite slip. I've been hoping it was just a lull in quality but it appears to be an unending spiral.

The service is wonderful. Comfy booths line two walls--The food is consistently good. What more do you need?

Chose this place being in the neighborhood and saw it had good reviews and I love Thai food. Its a cute spot!Unfortunately the appetizers weren't that great. We got the platter of mixed apps to share.But my entree was quite good. I had the shimp pad see ew. Nice and flavorful and filling. My friends had very good entrees too.The staff were friendly and helpful. They also have a nice selection of beer and wines to drink.I would come back here if in the area but not go out of your way to eat here if you really love thai food.

I want to give Laem Buri a 3.5 of 5 but am gonna scale up. Service was pretty good, waitress was helpful and relayed the right amount of spice called for on my Drunken noodle and friends approved too.I got a Red Hook IPA to go with my meal and they brought it out along with a frozen beer glass for extra chill. That's cool (literally).The stumble comes from the appetizers. The Laem Buri platter - gyōza, spring rolls and tofu were hard and burnt looking. What happened? They weren't enjoyable. The Thai wings were also a letdown considering I've had Thai wings that span from good to great, these were not close to either. Presentation was decent but that's it.They recovred with the entrée. My Drunken Noodle with beef delivered in flavor, presentation and amount.So good entrée and service but the apps definitely have to pick it up.

Ordered take out on a cold day for some hot soup & hot dishes. The lady who answered the phone was very friendly and made sure to repeat back the whole order with our spice level choices, to make sure everything was correct, and asked for our phone number & name before hanging up. To me this shows they value accuracy in the ordering system, which is important to the customer when it comes to ordering things to go. Tom Kha soup (hot spice level)- Delicious! However, a bit too sweet and could've been more sour. I also wish they used straw mushrooms but it's hard to find places that do that. Despite all that, ugh it was a wonderful, creamy, spicy soup on a cold gray day to clear the sinuses just enough and warm mah belleh!Pad Woon Sen (medium spice level)- I'd never had this before and it was a pleasant surprise. It looked simple. Very thin glass noodles with a ton of freshly cooked, vibrant vegetables, & beef. As I ate it, it just kept getting better and better. It's a perfect balance of meaty, veggie goodness, with maybe a soy sauce type of base? Usually I like strong, bold flavors, but the simplicity of this dish won me over! I only wish the portion was bigger. Jungle noodles (spicy spice level)- Woo-wee, now that is some spice! Great for those who can handle it (once upon a time I was one of these people), but a bit too much for my aging gut nowadays. If I think beyond the level 4 spice that I will not do again, the flavor of these noodles was pleasant and I really liked the chewy texture. I'd order this again at a level 2 or 3. I wish the portion was a bit bigger too, though.Overall I enjoyed everything and would love to come back!

A night out in the Greenwood area meant somewhere for dinner and Thai is always a good option. There is some street parking in the area if you're lucky but if not there is some private lot parking as well. The inside is not big but is pretty cozy and intimate.GREEN BEAN ($10) - There was a good crunch on the green beans and it was garlicky. I really liked the sauce/glaze on it and this was one of my favorite dishes. 5/5PAD THAI ($12) - I thought this was just okay. It's slightly too sweet which is not the flavor profile I want in my pad thai but it was saucy and not dry. 3/5PANANG CURRY ($12) - I really liked this dish and I caught myself going for seconds and thirds for the curry, way more often than some of the other dishes. Note that it doesn't come with rice so you'll have to order that separately. 5/5FAMOUS CHICKEN ($14) - When one of the dishes is named famous chicken and it's a best seller, we had to order it. It was nice and crispy and was pretty good. 4/5FIERY CRISPY DUCK ($18) - It was very crispy and I liked the added basil on top. The sauce that came with it was delicious as well. 4.5/5TOM YUM SOUP ($12) - This was soup-er flavorful (pun intended) and was very refreshing given all the other heavier dishes we ordered. 4.5/5KUA GAI NOODLE ($15) - I thought this was an okay dish and it was nice to get some seafood for variation. 3/5For most of the food we ordered level 3 spice but it didn't taste very spicy at all. This feels like just a typical Thai restaurant in Seattle, maybe slightly above average with some of their specialty dishes.

Updating: since my last review, I've been back at Laem Buri at least 5 more times and they've killed the Pad See Ew each time! Food is consistently delicious and I'm slowly becoming a regular as the cashier's know my name. I recommend calling ahead as it does take some time to prepare, esp when busy.

Great food, great service! My friend and I came in on a Tuesday night for dinner. There were some people dining in, but a lot of people came through for pick up/take out. The servers were great- attentive, but not overbearing. I got the panang curry and it was so good! To me, it was very reasonably price (especially considering Seattle restaurant prices these days). Will definitely be back!
