Pat’s Thai Shabu

We love Pat's! Nestled in the Stanwood cinema pavilion, this place is truly a local gem. Great food, fast service, huge portions, and reasonably priced. Update - I would like the Thai Lo Mein fed to me on my death bed. Last meal worthy

We decided to get take out from Pat's. We had Pad Thai and Pad see ew. Forgive me if I butchered the spellings. I ordered it all online and my bride picked it up. Prices are on the high side. You order your entree and if you want a protein there is a $4 up charge added to the base price. Personally I think that is a sneaky way to do things. Makes a $12.99 entree a $16.99 entree. I considered canceling the order but we really wanted to try it. Steamed rice is not free with the entrees. I know we live in a world of places fleecing its patrons for every little thing but it's getting old. On to the food. My bride liked her Pad Thai. She had extra peanut sauce (also not free) and crab rangoons. I had the Pad see ew. I like the wide noodles. It was decent but not other worldly. Was not good enough to make me a steady customer anyway.

I was a little skeptical when I heard of this place opening up because, in my experience, any restaurant that offers too many types of cuisines typically bites off more than they can chew. The restaurant itself is lovely and there was live music playing when we arrived at around 5pm on a Saturday. Service was very polite and attentive and all the food came out quickly. Down to the food itself - over the course of two visits (one dine in, one take out), we've tried the Thai steamed dumplings, coconut prawns, shrimp spring rolls, pad Thai, pho, the spicy tuna lovers roll and salmon sashimi. The good: Thai steamed dumplings were so good! Perfectly steamed with good flavour and accompanied by what tasted like a citrus ponzu sauce. The coconut prawns were similarly good - the coconut batter was perfectly crispy and they were fried perfectly. Only thing I wasn't crazy about was the sauce they served it with, which was different from the usual sweet Thai chilli sauce you can expect. It was still good (tasted like a peanut ginger base) but I prefer the Thai chilli sauce. The shrimp spring rolls were also a hit and are served with the expected Thai chilli sauce. Their pho was surprisingly pretty good! The steak and brisket pieces were thicker than we are used to but they were really tender so we didn't mind. The broth was also flavourful and well seasoned. This dish is the biggest win for me because I've been trying to find a GOOd place for pho nearby for ages now with no luck, always having to drive to Marysville.The ok: the pad Thai and sushi were kind of a miss for us. The flavours in the pad Thai were pretty good but the dish was drowning in sauce (which is saying a lot because I love sauce) so it was hard to eat more than a few bites at a time. Similarly, the salmon nigiri and spicy tuna lovers roll were decent but in my opinion do not stack up to what's available nearby. I particularly found it a little off putting that my sake nigiri pieces were served warmer than what I'm used to. TLDR: I'd give it a 4 for Stanwood's standards and look forward to coming back regularly for the pho and appies and to try other things on the menu.

Got a tempura roll here recently and let me say! One of the best rolls I've had since moving to Washington! So yummy. The service was very fast and friendly, and the location itself was very nice looking! 10/10 would eat here again

Service is always lovely and the food very fresh and flavorful. Had nigiri and duck noodle soup on most recent visit.Both were very fresh and the duck soup was so full of flavor with baby bok choy, fresh herbs and a full quart leftover to enjoy over the weekend.This is the place to dine when I am in Stanwood.

This is a new place located inside the Stanwood mall. Our family attends a church in the movie theater in here and decided to try this restaurant after service. The staff here was super friendly and happy to help answer questions we had. We ordered several appetizers, the Rangoons were really creamy and smooth, you could taste the crab but not fishy. The Veggie spring rolls were delightful and the dipping sauce added to the flavor. Now the BBQ chicken was absolutely amazing my kids kept asking for more. Now the Pad Woon Sen was amazing, the taste was balanced perfectly, and while we ordered our spice mild as we ordered family style it was perfect for our entire family. We also found the beef and broccoli along with the sweet and sour Chicken absolutely amazing...They have so many options to choose from and we so look forward to trying all of them again soon and hope to be able to share our experiences as we try new dishes.

First time here. Atmosphere 5 starsThe restaurant is clean and well laid out. We sat "outside" in this boardwalk style area that is still indoors. There are other business in this walking area as well as a cinema. Friendly service, quick.Food- we orderedThai Ice teaSpring rollCalifornia roll crunchShrimp tempera rollPad Thai w Chicken - husband said this was so close to ones he had in Thailand.Pad See Mao three star - we both LOVED this.Pineapple Fried Rice w Chicken one star- best one I have ever had in this region. Panang Curry w Chicken three stars - my fav!! Husband tried it too and said he could order that! He's not a curry fan. As we walked out- it was now closed , they did not hurry us out, it was nice to see it is family ran and the family was there eating dinner together. We will be back. For us- it is craveable!!!Highly- recommend to try this place for yourself.

First time trying Pat's and we love it. Fresh vegetables that aren't over cooked, big chunks of tofu and big portions. Friendly and fast service with a chill vibe.

Went on a Friday evening and was surprised with lovely live music. Every time we go the food is great, well priced and the wait staff is very attentive. I especially appreciate the small attentions to detail, such as providing appropriate dishes and silverware for babies/toddlers. Each experience the staff has all been very kind and welcoming. Definitely recommend.

Too expensive for what we got. Sushi was very small portions with expensive price. Pho was mediocre. After food was brought to the table waiter didn't come back. Wont go back.
