Sea Thai Restaurant - Seattle

Yelp hours are a bit off they actually close at 11:50 PM (not sure if it's every day though). Was looking for some late night food and everything seemed to be closed and hours everywhere are janky after COVID. I was extremely hesitant judging from the reviews but was really craving some Asian food or anything that wasn't really fast food so I stopped by. It's take out only so no dine in and seemed like most people placed their orders online. We got in and there were two ladies waiting for their order while no staff were present so almost thought they only took online or phone orders. Clarified with them and they ordered inside (thanks ya'll). Took about 5 10 minutes to get noticed as it's a mom and pop shop with a wife and husband doing everything so they were occupied cooking. Gave them benefit of the doubt there, I understand. Placed an order for Pad Thai, Crispy Chicken, and Orange Chicken. Saw the order was $4 and was super confused, thought maybe it was just a tip. After going through with the entire transaction, I realized it was definitely an error so brought it up and the husband confirmed. Basically missed a digit. I might've ended up overpaying a few dollars because of some rounding but whatever. Anyways, he originally estimated it to take 30 minutes but the order came out in probably 15? I'm going to attribute the speed to the fact that I brought up the error, but I'm grateful it was sped up. Many other people came to pick up orders and they were alerted it'd take a few more minutes so you know they were really busy but despite that, they served me really well so I was happy. Chicken Pad Thai 2 stars let me start off by saying their definition of 2 stars is definitely more. It's more of a 3.5 stars elsewhere. Man I don't handle my spice that well but 2 stars is my go to everywhere and this one was hot! Took me a while to finish so let that be a warning. Moving on with the food it's a little dry, not as saucy as other places so not as sweet but the noodles were fine and chicken was standard. Can't complain but I wouldn't order again and would try other items. Crispy Chicken 1 star so all these entrees don't come with rice, which makes them look underwhelming. But when I look at the meat and realize I'm getting double the portion of an entree elsewhere, I'm pretty satisfied. I might not be getting rice or other sides, but I can make some at home for cheaper (I mean they sell rice too, but making rice is simple enough). However, it says this also comes with onion and bell peppers which I did not get. Taste was solid, not overly saucy with the right amount of crisp and crunch, but the lack of vegetables included was unfortunate. It's more of a soy garlic taste maybe soy chili sauce. Orange Chicken 1 star again, no rice with the entree but the meat is easily double the portion of meat you get elsewhere with rice. Also again, this should come with carrot and onions, but it was missing. We just got a good amount of orange chicken to bring home. Unlike your typical Chinese food orange chicken, it's not layered in viscous sauce but rather slightly infused with the chicken which is lightly crispy and crunchy. Overall, I was pleased with the food. I think the Sea Thai Specials they have are probably the best items judging from the two I've tried. However, our meat lacked the additional vegetables so that's unfortunate. I wanted to rate down for that fact, but it's really not a big deal so I can look past it. Nice that they are open relatively late compared to other places in the area and prices are on the lower end. Spiciness levels may vary from previous experiences.

It was a bit late in the evening and we still saw this place was open. We decided to have dinner here and ordered crab rice, chicken cashew, chicken satay, tofu with green beans and mango with sticky rice for dessert. Everything they served us was excellent, tender, flavorful and well prepared! I was reading all the other reviews and I find it shocking and unfair that people can give all this negative reviews, without even sharing a photo of the meal that was served to them. Absolutely crazy and out of control! Anyway, I posted a picture of the meals that we ordered. You be the judge. The only thing I would agree with the other reviews is that the owner of the restaurant can probably reduce the clutter inside. They do store a lot of personal things that shouldn't be there.

The best Pad Thai around! I've tried all the local places and I find myself coming back to Sea-Thai. If you want a yummy classic pad Thai this is it!

Absolutely wonderful Curry noodles. 2* spice was just a little kick with plenty of flavor. Great amount of veggies, perfect portion for the price. 10/10 would eat here again
