Bangrak Market

The best happy hour spot in Seattle! $5 boat noodles? say more... happy hour is 4-6pm everyday with discounted food items and drinks. For the happy hour prices, we got:

-Boat noodles (4/5): these were so good and flavorful! not quite as good as the ones I had in Thailand though -- the flavor was almost a bit too much and the broth was too rich, but the texture of the noodles were pretty solid

-Pork skewers (5/5): these were my absolute favorite -- the pork was sooooo tender and juicy, I was genuinely shocked by how much I liked these.

-Green beans (3.5/5): solid option, but very slightly undercooked

-Yuzu cocktail (5/5): honestly terrific. So refreshing

-Thai coffee (5/5): also so good... not too sweet at all like thai tea can be sometimes

Other food we ordered

-Papaya salad (4.5/5): Super refreshing -- the crunch was there and the flavors were on point

-Kao Kaprao (5/5): wow! I was so love with this dish. The rice was slightly al dente and charred, and mixed in with everything, was an explosion of flavors in your mouth. I loved how the green beans were thinly chopped too which added such a nice texture.

-Pad see ew (4/5): I don't usually like pad see ew (prefer thin noodles to thick), but this one was so good. The noodle had a nice char, the dish had an abundance of vegetables, and the flavor was very aromatic

-Yum woonsen (2.5/5): the only dish I probably would not get again. I am usually a huge fan of woonsen noodles, but in a salad form, it was a bit sour. Definitely only like woonsen when it is served hot.

Would definitely come back here though. Very great deals and flavorful food.

I don't know if I just didn't go at the best time. I went on a weekday lunch with my girl friends and we were all super excited to try this place because of all the hype on social media.

The place was nicely decorated to make it look like you're in the streets of Bangkok. The colorful baskets were all very eye catching once you get inside but overall, the area was pretty dark.

When we came in, we were not greeted by anybody and we didn't know exactly where to go...or if we were to just find our own spots or wait for a host. It wasn't busy either as there were lots of empty tables. There were 2 different sides to the restaurant and we just stood at the entrance for a while, very confused.

We actually had to go to the counter and ask someone where we can sit or if they're even open. She finally had us sit on one of the tables. She was friendly enough while taking our orders and everything.

Food was ok, it wasn't bad but also nothing I would totally rave about. Food presentation all looked very good and we managed to still enjoy our lunch.

could be a bit of a wait depending on when you go but the food is always great!
last time i got the moo ping, pad see ew, mussaman curry and all were great

highly highly recommend the sticky mango rice it was so good

super cute interior! Really takes u to a much cleaner much, less chaotic and temperate thai market but also the lighting was so much darker than it needed to be? Idk if it was just me but I guess they were also going for a bar style kinda thing so I get it? (Not really) ok well onto the food:

Honestly I really wanted it to be good but everything was so mid... dishes came out like lukewarm (huge pet peeve of mine ), flavors were good but again nothing to rave about, and the Thai tea was WAYY sweet (even after I let about half the ice melt ) gotta say the corn fritters were the best but honestly how can u go wrong when u drench a food item in sweet n sour sauce

My friends and I managed to call in for a same-day reservation on a Friday for a group of 6, which I would definitely recommend as the place was completely packed when we arrived for dinner. After reading the glowing reviews, I was pretty excited, but unfortunately I thought this place was the actual definition of mid. Service kinda sucked - we were practically begging servers who were actively ignoring us to order anything at all. The portions are tiny and the prices are pretty damn high to boot. On the plus side, everyone seemed to enjoy their cocktails, but I won't be coming back. Tried a bunch of things, speed review below and just note 2/5 on the spice scale is completely not spicy.

Chiang Mai Sausage (3.75/5): Super savory and lemongrass is super fragrant. Nice char, but the inside was a little crumbly.

Som Tum Thai (3.75/5): Solid papaya salad, hits the spot when you're craving it.

Tom Kha with Prawns (2/5): Soup was okay, decent amount of tang. The only other ingredients in the pot was crappy mushrooms and the tiniest sad shrimps you've ever seen.

Kao Moo Dang Moo Krob (1.5): Roast pork wasn't bad, but hated the sauce on it. Chinese barbecue super dry and sucked. The broth was nice and light, only thing I really enjoyed.

Kao Soi Chiang Mai (3/5): Soup has nice curry flavor, but the noodles weren't my favorite. Skimped on the protein.

Pad Thai with Chicken (4.25/5): Best of the food options we had, noodles had a great texture and great flavor.

Kao Pad with Chicken (4/5): Great version of fried rice. Not mind blowing, but one of the better things on the table.

Was celebrating my birthday in Seattle, and this place was on the list for restaurants to try! Walking distance from where I was staying, and came in clutch for a late night food run after having a few drinks at a speakeasy nearby. Right when you walk in, you're mesmerized by the festive decor. We ordered the Pad Thai and the Tom Khá, and I'm still drooling over how delicious both tasted. We told the server we were celebrating my birthday, and they came out with shots and helped me celebrate. It was such a fun time, the crowd that this place draws in really feels like a go to hang out spot for friends. Definitely plan on coming back when I'm in the area!

My FIRST #1 Seattle Yelp Review EVER--

Bangrak Market is ALL the Hype AND MORE! Recommended by SEA locals, BM was fuego *fire emoji*

With my friend and bf, we ate there on a weeknight evening, and the wait was around 30 minutes. Regardless of when you go, seems like good chance you'll be waiting for a table. We were seated promptly and I ordered the Pad See Ew Beef (my go-to evaluation dish for Thai restaurants). Our foods came out hot, fresh, and delicious. The noodles were soft and chewy, and beef was tender and flavorful-- solid grade A dish. I tried a bit of the other dishes, and they were tasty as well. Thai Tea was sweet per usual, and although their service was a bit slow due to being slammed, they were always friendly! Ambiance and interior were gorgeous, really emphasizing the bright colorful, playful nature of Thailand and its cuisine.

After my first time dining inside, I have returned 2 more times for take out. Although I *feel* like take out dishes aren't as good, they were still pretty decent when eaten at home. Prices are reasonable for lunch and dinner.

Conclusively, one of my fave places for Thai food in Seattle, rivaling quality in California! Parking seems to be a pain as it is in downtown with a wait due to its popularity, but the food quality, quantity, service, and ambiance/interior are kickbutt factors that will be sure to AMAZE you!

I went there for my first time. The vibe was cute, quite unique. I ordered the steamed chicken over rice, Hainan chicken and their house old fashioned. The service so good. The chicken was dry, just like what other reviews mentioned. The old fashioned was decent. Overall, it's quite pricy of what it is. It maybe better to check it out during happy hour.

I am not the from area but a friend of mine recommended this place.

Food: I ordered the Pad Thai with Shrimp and KAO MOO DANG MOO KROB. Let me tell this is the BEST Pad Thai I ever had. I am from LA and I had tried many Thai places. The flavor is rich but not overwhelming. It is not too sweet or salty. Shrimp tastes fresh and same as other ingredients. The Chinese BBQ pork from Kao Moo Dang Moo Krob are so crunchy and juicy ! We also order the mango stick rice and it didn't disappoint. The rice is fresh and the texture is just right !

Service: Waitress was friendly and food came out quickly enough. No complaints.

Ambience: you will definitely get a good vibe of Thai Street food style there. Lots of interesting decorations and they Thai music. That's when you know it's legit !

I am definitely coming back here !

I know what a good dish tastes like when it comes to southeast Asian food, and this place is a must try for Thai food!

All the dishes I orated tasted authentic and amazing! Papaya salad (fermented crab version), pineapple friend rice, nann pig sausage, they all tasted so so good that I wanted to go back before kea if Seattle back to Cali.
The service is great, and the vibe, oh you bet will get you wanna go clubbing! I don't know where they collect their playlist from but all songs are just getting me in the mood of party, Eve at the 10pm after a long exhausting ferry ride from Vancouver island, this place is just that popping!

The service is fantastic. To see how hard work the servers are working makes me feel a little bad, so you gotta make sure to tip them well! :)

Ok, also this place is perfect for group and great birthday celebrations. I saw at least 3 birthday shots being delivered to some young people's tables! This place is a see-you-again when I come visit Seattle next time :)

Whenever I visit Seattle, I gotta eat dinner here the first night I land in the city since it's open late!

Amazing thai food, amazing thai tea, delicious, strong drinks, great music, great ambiance, great customer service.

Get ready to enjoy your food in a Thai Market.

Next time I visit Seattle, I'll be visiting here again the first night!
