Manao Thai Street Eats

Delicious! Hands down a local gem for this area. Food is tasty, and portions are very generous. Definitely a must if you are looking for something to fill you up for the entire day.

Ordered takeout here on Fourth of July as we were craving Thai food. I believe this is considered to be southern Thai food.Taro spring rolls PROS: - Good quantity to share, came with four pieces and a dipping sauce- OK flavor, but rather have it on the more bland side than on the overly seasoned side.Cons: - Does not re-heat well unless you have a toaster ovenCrispy chicken with cream saucePROS: - Good amount especially to share- Comes with choice of rice: white, brown, turmeric- Almost 50/50 ratio of protein to carb. CONS: - Is definitely not crispy when it comes to tossed in the sauce.- Would not recommend for takeout or delivery, as it will lose the crunch. Pad see iu with porkPROS: - Good quality to share.- Decent balance between noodles and other ingredients such as vegetables and meat.CONS:- Slightly on the salty end, may be a little too much sauce. Works well for reheating. If you have leftovers, highly recommend, adding additional vegetables, or scrambling egg with the remainder so it absorbs some of the extra salt.It's hard to say if I would come back here again, mostly because there are so many other Thai restaurants around this location. However, if a friend wanted to stop by this place, I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to it. I would say that service could improve a tad bit, especially on the communications end. We definitely got hung up on once or twice. Overall, it wasn't a good nor bad experience.

We came here during the Capitol Hill pride events and where in desperate need of good food with fast service. You order at the front and then seat yourself. There is a water jug and spices for you at your table. The food took roughly 10-15 minutes to arrive, it smelled sooo good! I would say that the food was amazing, they have hot sauces in the side that you can add to kick up the spiciness of the dish as opposed to asking for a spice level between 1-5. The pad Thai my friend ordered was good, spices like sriracha and chili oil where added to enhance the spiciness flavor. I got the pad see Ew and it was one of the better pad see ews I've had in a while. The sauce was not sweet or too salty, the perfect savory balance with that signature taste that comes with pad see ew. Nothing was under or overcooked. The only thing is that this dish needed lots of spice to up the kick, as I am someone that likes spicy food. We did run out of water at some point and it wasn't being refilled. I would say this is a great place if you are looking for some Thai food, however I wouldn't come here if you need something on the go as the wait time isn't immediate. A great place to come to if you are looking for appropriately priced dishes and for somewhere to chill!

So good and SO CHEAP! Such a good deal and such amazing quality food. I love the interior ESP the little bowls of chili pepper that they have. Love and will def get again if I come back to Seattle

I have been eating here for quite some time but I ordered the panang curry for the first time and it was SO GOOD! I also ordered the wontons and green beans which gave me such a delightful flavor filled evening! Truly this is my favorite Thai spot in Seattle.

Can't believe I haven't written a review for this place considering that they are my go-to for thai food takeout. I am very satisfied with how prompt their service is, even on a weekend when it's supposed to be busy for dinner. Their combo meals are the best bang for your buck - doesn't compromise on the quality or quantity! I enjoy the chargrilled aftertaste that their pad thai has and that's why I always order it. They may be the only restaurant that does not charge extra if you're choosing beef as a meat! I hope they give bigger limes next time though, I really love my pad thai tangy.

Fast, casual food spot. You order at the front, find a seat, and they'll bring the food to you. My husband and I ordered the kao soi gai, herbal chicken, and Tom kha. The kao soi was super thick. I definitely like it on the thinner side, similar to how it's made in chiang mai. Maybe it's a different region's twist on it? Who knows, but I thought it was ok. Herbal chicken was good - fried chicken with a nice savory sweet coating that'll stick to your bones. The rice it came with definitely was on the older side. Probably two day old rice lol. Tom kha was pretty standard, I wish it had more coconut milk. Overall, decent place for lunch and pretty quick with food delivered to the table.

It always starts with the papaya salad. But for me, the salad was a little disappointing. But the pad see ew was not bad. The Chinese broccoli was a little bitter. I think I would come again to try the other dishes. The restaurant was poppin.

This past Saturday we were craving some spicy pad thai so we came here for some takeout after having some drinks at a little get together with some friends. The restaurant was pretty empty for a Saturday evening - they only had maybe 2 or 3 parties seated, but they had a steady amount of people coming in and out for takeout. The place looks more geared for takeout as there is a huge menu and a cashier right as you enter, not too many tables for seating, and a large takeout area where you pickup your order when it is ready. We ordered the pad thai with beef and the basil fried rice with pork (you can choose either tofu, pork, beef, or chicken at no extra cost). I asked the worker if we could make the food spicy and she instructed me that they have a spicy seasoning you can add on the side. I grabbed the chili flakes and the chili oil on the side. The food was ready piping hot in about 10-15 minutes. The food was well-packaged and the portions were larger than most other Thai restaurants in Capital Hill. We added the chili oil to the pad thai and let me tell you - it had a really good kick surprisingly and we only added about half the tiny container. We also added in a full container of the chili flakes but it didn't seem to have too much affect. The pad thai was slightly darker/seemed more soy sauce based than what I was used to and did not have has strong a tamarind taste as I would have liked. Also, the beef was slightly dry. The basil fried rice stood out and was bursting with so much flavor - I would highly recommend. TLDR: quality and quick Thai comfort food that I would want to eat especially if I am craving something spicy, but would probably choose a different protein than the beef in the future.

Good place to go with friends, good place to sit alone at the bar, and a good place to get takeout. Good solid food no matter your circumstance, really.
