My wife and I have always like the food at Thai Tom. However be forewarned that the service is INCREDIBLY rude, the music loud, and cockroach sightings are frequent. Take a look at the City of Seattle's inspection report on this restaurant and never say that you weren't warned. http://www.decadeonline.com/main.phtml?agency=skc Not sure how they're still in business.. more

Don't be fooled by the small size of the restaurant, Tom Thai has the best Thai food in Seattle! It is definitely not a place to impress your date but if you are just interested in having good food, this is the place. My favorites are Panang curry & Spicy noodles, I literally crave for these 2 dishes some times... more

The lines are out the door at lunchtime, but nobody seems to mind waiting. Once we got inside, it was pretty clear why... Thai Tom is a tiny -- really small -- hole in the wall that takes cash only and serves up some pretty amazing Thai food. The prices are great -- around $7 per person -- and for... more

Very small little place (it looks like it used to be a bar) that seems to be pretty popular. I agree that it's a bit overpriced, but that seems to be the case with a lot of restaurants in Seattle! I thought the food was good, but not great. I used to live in L.A. and there is a Thai... more

Ive been to Thailand and never, until now, have been able to duplicate the experience back home. Thai Tom does just that, both with the atmosphere as well as the food.
