Thai 99 has delicious food! We drive an hour to get there, but their Cashew Chicken is so worth it! They take great care to package up our takeout for the journey home (we usually order several meals) and the folks are always sweet and pleasant. I wish we could get over there more often!

QUALITY HAS GONE DOWN DRAMATICALLY
The previously flavor rich green curry was very watered down and had less meat in it. Right now in 2025, you see a lot of “shrinkflation” talk about products in grocery stores that cost the same but contain less… that was exactly this. Maybe they doubled the water in the recipe to make it go twice as far, but that was a terrible decision. The flavor profile was still the same, but so weak! Even the vegetables in it were no longer fully saturated with flavor; they were bland and tasted more like plain eggplant pieces, etc. Very disappointing.
We also bought pad see ew, and the noodles were not the correct shape noodles, which would’ve been forgiveable if maybe they just ran out, but they didn’t mention that and they were also cooked poorly, leaving the texture off. As you might imagine, there was also very little meat added to our dish, very few pieces of broccoli inside, and far less sauce than ever before. At this point we’re going to have to stop coming unless we get word from others that they’ve stopped skimping on the ingredients.

Old Review:
The food is delicious! Our favorite is the green curry, and if you haven’t tried the Thai tea, you definitely should.
The signs telling you to stay in your car make it feel like they’re hiding a dirty building, but the top notch flavor hasn’t changed over time, so I keep coming.

Very clean and presentable. Very attentive staff, they greeted me as soon as I came through the door. The menu is small but all of it seems good. I had the Beef Pad Khing. It came with soup as an appetizer and tapioca pudding for desert. Very reasonable price too. My only nit pic is that this seems like any Chinese restaurant you find around here. I’ve had Thai food in Seattle and it’s distinguishably different, better in my opinion. Still a great place to eat and I’d highly recommend it.

I had low expectations to begin with, but this is just bad. There is absolutely no flavor to the pad see ew. When I first opened the container I could tell immediately. The noodles were PALE. Pad see ew is a stir fried noodle dish. I’m assuming this means they just cooked the noodles and then poured some sauce on afterwards. Noodle texture is okay, but it’s just salty. There’s no wok hei, hardly any fish sauce, hardly any oyster sauce. The panang curry is okay, but is lacking some creaminess.

This was one of my favorite places to eat back when I lived here so I was excited to pick some up while in town. I miss being able to dine in but the pick up was fast, only took about 10 minutes from order to pickup for 3 meals. The panang curry was just as delicious and flavorful as I remember and the soup and tapioca pudding were delicious as always. Serving sizes seemed a little smaller than I remembered and I miss getting 2 meals out of a single order for about $13 including tip but I can’t blame Thai 99 for inflation.

We always have an incredible experience at Thai 99. Amazing food at all heat levels, simple menu, and a personal touch. Jeff and Patty are awesome and kind!

Used to be good idk what happened to it. The tapioca pudding was still the same at least ,but my drunken noodles were overcooked to the point of being mush and also very bland. The guy who took our order seemed like he’d rather be doing anything other than his job and also failed to include silverware with our order. Definitely not worth the 50 dollars i paid for 2 meals

What happened to Thai 99? This place used to be so good. I hate leaving bad reviews but feel like they need to improve and quickly.
We got Thai fried rice, which was incredibly bland. There was a tiny bit of seasoning on top, not mixed in. Barely any vegetables, maybe 3 broccoli? Also got the drunken noodles which was better, but still bland. I know they can do much better than this, very disappointed.

I NEVER EVER EVERR wrote any review for any restaurant before no matter how bad they were. I usually just let it go and move on. However, this restaurant is the worse! So bad that I have to share on Google Review! I have never eaten any restaurant this BAD before in my life before. We ordered food today, 3/4/19 and I am an Asian who grew up eating Thai food. We ordered many variety of dishes and had it delivered using DoorDash (got charged twice). We ordered everything HOT(spicy), some Thai-HOT, but none of the dishes were remotely hot/spicy. The rice was under-cooked and hard, the curry was heavily watered down and barely tasted coconut. Pad-Grapao (with adding ingredients) was completely missing from my order, drunken noodle was dry, tasteless, missing basil, and sweet instead of spicy. Ruam-mit was missing completely. Mango custard and sticky rice had no mango whatsoever, sticky rice was over-cooked and mushed like mush potato. Everything about this order was BAD! If i could give less than 1 stars i would have done it, -5 Star. Everything was just terrible! Thai food should be rich in flavor and full with spices but these food they gave to us is just so blend, dry, and so DISAPPOINTING!
Never again!
