SOI Thai Restaurant & Bar

"Solid Thai place in Kirkland urban. They validate parking here too. We've gone for several work lunches, and they have good lunch sets as well. Duck curry is tasty and portion is generous. Their Thai tea is also dairy free if ordered with coconut milk! The space is great for large groups, and their service at lunch has always been good for us (although sometimes slow with the check)."

"This review is way overdue . I work near by and come here for lunch quite often. Food is always delicious and service is great! I planned a birthday party here for my husband and we all had so much fun. I ordered 5 different dishes and they were all super good. We had two signature drinks… old fashioned and Dancing Queen (Lychee Martini) and seriously they were so so good. Did I mention there is a free parking garage? This place is amazing and I definitely would love to plan another party here."

"Hands down one of the overall best Thai restaurants in the Seattle/Puget Sound—great food, great ambiance, and the friendliest wait staff. The food here was spectacular. Presentation was perfect and the flavors were certainly not lost. I grew up in CA with a Thai/Cambodian best friend whose family fed me their traditional cuisine nearly everyday. SOI Thai’s flavors nearly took me back! Haven’t had a place do that for me since I left CA. We ordered their Pork Noodle Soup, Drunken Noodle w/ Fried Tofu, Papaya Salad, and Eggplant Stir Fry with Chicken. Pork Noodle Soup is to die for—so refreshing. Their Drunken Noodle was the best I’ve had. For dessert we had their black rice pudding and it was a cherry a top! They’ve FOR SURE gained a new regular—personally worth driving up 45 minutes from South Seattle for the experience!"

"Based on my first experience here… Great service and really nice people. Location is negligible… I don’t see myself going out of my way to park and walk up mainly because the food wasn’t memorable. I’d be willing to give Soi another try but I’d try different things. Panang curry, 3/10, curry was watered down and lacked depth of flavor. There are 5 other place locally I’d go to assuming this is normally how they make it. Presentation was nice though! Pork bao buns, 1/10, pork was dry and lacked flavor and they put a fat carrot stick and 2” long raw green onion alongside it. I feel bad being this critical but I’d never buy or recommend this particular dish. I wanted to try the wings, which I heard were amazing but they were sold out. I tried my friends green curry and that had an off putting aftertaste. My other friend had a tofu, green bean dish that she enjoyed and something I’d try with a protein in it. Crab Rangoon had little no no crab and mostly cream cheese, some like it like that but I don’t. With so many options around town, gotta nail the staples."

"The restaurant is located upstairs in Kirkland Urban. I always get the red curry with prawns and rice and it is REALLY GOOD. Medium spicy is the right amount of flavor and heat. The place is popular, but if you go early, you never will have a problem getting in. They also have a ton of vegetarian options too. Will definitely be back."
